Wonder why.... Hm....

I can think of a reason

It's because Simu Liu is Canadian!!!

Nobody wanted Shang Chi to fail, they just couldnt see how it could succeed.

Everyone was saying they were more or less done with MCU after Endgame but I guess they weren't expecting the quality to continue

Best choreography of any marvel movie imo. I also liked all the nods to Chinese cinematography. Overall was a decent movie, I look forward to it being included in the MCU.

Yeah I'm inclined to agree. Other fights have been cool just based on the context of what's happening, but these fights were cool inherently.

The main reasons I read were
  • Regular people don't know who he is
  • He has no direct connection to any of the other Marvel characters or teams
  • Black Widow didn't do as well as expected and people already knew who she was
  • Labour Day is not known for new movie releases doing well
  • Disney was refusing to market it as much as other Marvel movies
  • It was created to appeal to China but they trashed it, and its still not scheduled for release there

That's false. Shang-Chi does have direct connections to other Marvel characters/teams. His story doesn't happen in a vacuum within the MCU, nor did it happen in a vacuum in Marvel comics.

Disney wasn't advertising any of that beforehand. From the trailers and pre-release info, it was basically a vacuum.

What do you get out of making these false claims? For one, it doesn't matter if Disney was or wasn't advertising it. You made that claim on September 7th 2021, after the movie came out. The movie showed Shang-Chi having direct connections to other characters in the MCU. And by extension, you also made the claim well after the Shang-Chi comics were released. The comics also show direct connections to other Marvel characters.

Also, Wong was literally in the trailers, so trying to claim that "Disney didn't advertise any of that beforehand" is false.

Pretty sure the trailers called it the "rise of a new Marvel hero" or something to that effect. Plus they didn't hide it was from Marvel Studios which, as pretty much everyone knows by now, is interconnected in some way.

People just hate marvel. Disney even lifted the review embargo weeks ahead of the release and the people who saw it early thought it was great and people still wanted marvel movies to fail.

I'm really not sure how you can watch Shang-Chi trailers and still come up with the assumption that the Shang-Chi story is a standalone story within the MCU.
  • For one, all of the Marvel Studios MCU movies since Iron Man 1 are interconnected.
  • The trailers show Wong and The Abomination. You would have to somehow assume they were just showing this as a random event in the movie that didn't connect to anything else at all for some weird reason.

Shang-Chi in the comics was made with a number of racist stereotypes that Marvel is trying to get rid of.
