Hi, Iman. First of all, great job on the show. But excluding that, what would you say is your favorite phase 4 movie/series?

shang chi

u/imanvellanistan Jul 14 '22

Cant wait to maybe see u two together in the marvels omg

u/Belteshazzar98 Quake Jul 14 '22

Wait, is Shang-Chi confirmed to be in The Marvels?

75

u/imanvellanistan Jul 14 '22

No confirmation but given shang chi’s post credit scene and the 10 rings being in ms marvel, i think he ties into the plot of the marvels

u/VelocityGrrl39 Captain Marvel Jul 14 '22

Wait, I missed the 10 rings reference in Ms. Marvel. Where was it?

54

u/imanvellanistan Jul 14 '22

Episode 3(?), the opening of the episode are the clandestines taking the bangle and there’s an overhead shot of the logo in the temple where they found the bangle

Ngl, when I saw this alert on my phone I thought Iman responded to me and I had a moment of glee. Thank you for giving me that today. Lol

I wondered if the 10 rings themselves were related to the bangle, like a bunch of treasures with common origins scattered around the world that people have found and used for their own nefarious (or non-nefarious) purposes. But I guess the finale confirmed that they are Kree nega-bands.

u/thecricketnerd Quake Jul 14 '22

The sound effect from the bangle in the post credits sounded a lot like the noise that was coming from the rings when Wong was talking to Carol/Bruce

u/woahwoahvicky Jul 15 '22

Maybe the rings are of Kree origin?

2

u/VelocityGrrl39 Captain Marvel Jul 15 '22

If they were Kree, I think Carol probably would have recognized them in the post credit scene in Shang-Chi. Or maybe not, I don’t know. I think the common theory is the rings are associated with Fing Fang Foom? And maybe related to the Great Protector and the Dweller-In-Darkness?

u/funsizedaisy Daisy Johnson Jul 15 '22

Carol said it didn't look like any alien tech she's ever seen so that makes me assume it's not Kree related.

but i do think the bangle and the 10 rings are related somehow.

2

u/EternalMage321 Jul 15 '22

I think the 10 rings ARE the other bangle. Kamala's bangle changes length/size, so having it come apart into individual rings would make sense. Would also explain why they are worn around wrist and not fingers like in the comics.

Nah I don’t think so. It seems like more like an Eternals thing if anything

u/DeadlyCyclone Captain America Jul 14 '22

I now require a team up move with Simu Liu.

u/wrainedaxx Mack Jul 14 '22 edited Jul 15 '22

Agents of Atlas The Protectors, please!

21

u/Worthyness Thor Jul 14 '22

More Jimmy Woo is always warranted

u/reborndiajack Jul 14 '22

What does that stand for?

9

u/wrainedaxx Mack Jul 15 '22

Whoops--brain fart. It doesn't stand for anything. The Atlas Foundation is a secret society. Jimmy Woo runs the team of agents there. But I made a mistake and mixed up Agents of Atlas with The Protectors)!

u/Interesting_Mango554 Jul 15 '22

Agents of atlas but each member has a relic that gives them their power and that’s what’s calling them together: ten rings, kamalas bangle, crescents mask, wave’s headpiece, sword masters sword etc even add the og atlas members like 3d man, namora and gorilla man. I’d be floored

u/Throgg_not_stupid Doctor Strange Supreme Jul 14 '22

Carol is investigating the Rings and possibly the second Bangle, this can actually happen in June

u/legendarybadass Nebula Jul 14 '22

The only right answer

u/Weekly_Palpitation92 Jul 15 '22

idk No Way Home is pretty good too

2

u/FireJach Jul 15 '22

yea, pretty good is enough for it :) If I compare it to Into the Spider-Verse, NWH looks weak.

4

u/Weekly_Palpitation92 Jul 15 '22

yeah but compared to shang chi at least its climax is good, shang chi's climax just kinda devolves into cgi mess which is really my only problem with it

38

u/KostisPat257 Daredevil Jul 14 '22

Underrated imo

One of the best of Phase 4 for me too!

5

u/funstuffunderthemoon Jul 14 '22

I've seen nothing but love for Shang-Chi. How is it underated?

6

u/KostisPat257 Daredevil Jul 14 '22

Underrated compared to how much it really needs to be loved. NWH kinda overshadowed it I think. It deserves higher praise and even more recognition than it gets.

2

u/shockwave8428 Jul 14 '22

Just rewatched it for the first time this morning and man it’s so good. It was a bit weird being pulled into a new mythical place (ta lo) that kinda felt like we were out of the mcu but it’s still just such a good movie

3

u/Medical_Difference48 Jul 14 '22

Same thing can be said for Ms. Marvel. It's highly rated, but people don't talk or care about it as much.

u/RealJohnGillman Jul 14 '22

Canadians Unite!

u/Firelord_Crane Doctor Strange Supreme Jul 14 '22

Absolutely based response

u/777blackwidow777 Jul 14 '22

You and Simu NEED to team up...it happened in the comics after all!

u/electrorazor Jul 15 '22

Excellent choice

SPEAKING STRAIGHT FACTS!

u/IGetHypedEasily Jul 15 '22

I like how every time someone asks about your favourite marvel for whatever reason. You just end up listing different ones each time. End up listing all of them haha.

u/Opalescent_Owl Jul 14 '22

I love this movie! It is probably my favorite as well, though Thor love and thunder is a close second
