Seriously, you can remove every shot with her and every line of dialogue, and the story would remain 100% unchanged (unless you wanna count the SPOILERS throat shot of the dragon, but that could've been taken by the aunt or the main old general guy or something -- it was not tied to her by any means)

She had zero impact other than to annoy and quip.

I was so fucking annoyed at the end when SPOILERS she went through Wong's portal with him. What a waste of space. Leave the baggage behind man.

She doesn't drop the score that much but she is a negative for sure. An earth ending threat is stopped because of an Awkwafina arrow is bs. Hawkeye hasn't even shot an arrow that important, fuck outta here with that, she picked up a bow for the first time a day ago. If you want to give that shot to a girl, give it to the aunt or sister, they were trained and badass

i think it's kinda dumb how she went from no archery experience to a master archer in 3 days

also, the line about shang chi's sister where she said she watched the training and somehow ended up better than everyone else was kinda dumb

She's more just his best friend. I hope they don't make them love interests in sequels.

As for the topic, she actually wasn't awful. Maybe somewhat cringey at times, but that was just her sense of humor with Shaun. Kinda bs that she became so good at archery in three days, but it's a superhero movie so who really cares.

I dont like Awkwafina that much and I thought shed be the worst part of the movie going in, but she honestly won me over. Loved her performance and her character.

She was good in parts but not appropriate in serious action moments, or having the game changing shot in an earth threatening fight

The arrow bit was the only piece that rubbed me the wrong way. Otherwise she was fine in her role as audience surrogate that gives characters a reason to explain things.

Her and Simu and solid chemistry too.

She was okay until the serious parts of the movie. We didn't need her as comic relief and the Mandarin guy at the same time.

There were also parts where she didn't understand any Chinese and other parts where she was responding to questions from the Tao La people speaking it

I think she says at one point she speaks it but not well.

Didn't see it yet, did she do that thing where she tried to be comedic relief but isn't actually that funny?

I don't know wtf you guys are talking about she was great in the movie. I agree about the ending but it wasn't her acting that made it bad. Blame the writers for that.

Disney/Marvel constantly undercuts any tension or seriousness with bullshit comedy relief because they cant be fucked to lose revenue from some brain dead viewers who dont like to think.

Awkwafina is just the latest in a string of talentless actresses who have a schtick that they do in every movie

She literally saved everyone on the bus in the beginning after the dude cut the brakes and the driver was KTFO and also got past the shifting maze forest.

But sure, "zero impact"
