Batman has no powers and he is the most popular character from his universe
He also has a cool look, great rogues gallery and clashes with fellow heroes in interesting ways.

If you're gonna use this premise for a topic I don't think another Marvel movie is the right thing to be looking at.

I know a lot of people that hate Marvel movies that want to watch Shang Chi. I think that's pretty cool tbh.

Its not about new characters. Never has been. We always got new marvel characters. Black panther etc

americans are just flat out racist against asian main leads. No one wants to see that. its a statistic fact that male asian leads get less viewers than white, black or hispanic leads

Eh, Shang-Chi did really well in its opening weekend, especially while covid is spreading like crazy.

Shang Chi is top 5 in the MCU, easily, and frankly is straight up the best origin movie.

No one was saying Shang Chi was f***ing awesome for the past year.

Until they watched it.

For the past year everyone was saying "nobody knows who Shang Chi is or has a reason to care about Shang Chi".

Until they watched it.

I mean TC was right about articles proclaiming it was going to be MCU's first flop and there was rumors in talks with Disney that if Shang Chi flopped that they would be force to delay the Eternals. However, the ones spreading this information with bad intentions tend to be the Anti-SJW crowd on youtubes and websites trying to portray this story as "no one cares about asian leads, so stop pandering to them!". I'm glad this movie is performing way higher than expected, though with that said I am worried about high turn outs in public areas like this with the delta variant going around... though that's a story for a different topic probably.

So you're saying that people thought a good movie was good after they watched it. Word

TC, I dont see how you got the idea of Marvel not promoting the movie as much as the others. Social media was flooded with Shang-Chi promos to the point I thought they were giving away too much.

A bit early to prognosticate anything, but I wouldnt read much into what fans want on how a pandemic-era movie release of a tertiary character at most after the franchise reached a natural conclusion and is being extended without clarity of purpose unless it does insanely well.

They set up stuff for a sequel in the movie, though.

This topic presents a weak argument based off of something that's completely false.

Shang Chi is doing well at the box office, considering the circumstances.

It's a great movie, the first half especially.

I'm pretty sure based on the Eternals trailer they're setting up for Galactus

Youtubers only react to the news that the mainstream media sites are reporting; adding in their own thoughts and opinion. They don't make the news. Then when the mainstream media sites get their predictions wrong, they blame YouTubers for getting predictions wrong, when they were only reacting to what those sites were predicting.

This video covers it all in response.
