Description
So today we're continuing to fix the multiverse saga, and this time, with Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. But as it turns out, this movie needs no fixing! Honestly the best thing this film could do is stay exactly the way it is. For us, it was one of the strongest entries in the Multiverse Saga and fits perfectly into the overall story. So here's our synopsis and spoiler alert - there's no change to it! Wenwu aka, the Mandarin was a ruthless, immortal warlord empowered by his Ten Rings. But when he meets a woman from mystical village Tao Lao, he gives up his rings and empire for a happy family life. When she's killed by thugs from his past, he returns to his old ways and trains his son, Shang Chi, to be a killer from age 7. At 14, he sends Shang Chi to avenge her, but Shang Chi stays and hides in America after the kill brings no closure. Years later, he & his friend Katy are whisked back into his old world when his father sends assassins to take he and his sister, Xi Xialing's pendants. Wenwu captures them at Xi's illegal fighting club and takes them back to his compound where he reveals the pendants will help him rescue their dead mother from Tao Lao. He threatens to destroy Tao Lao so Shang Chi, Katy and Xu Xialing escape the compound with some help from an impriosned Trevor Slattery to go defend it. In Tao Lao, Shang-Chi's aunt reveals Wenwu is being tricked by trapped Dweller-In-Darkness monster. Shang Chi defeats Wenwu, but not before the monster is freed. Wenwu gives Shang-Chi the rings before the monster kills Wenwu, and Shang-Chi and the Great Protector Dragon destroy the Dweller-In-Darkness. End credits: Xialing takes over Ten Rings Wong shows Shang Chi and Katy that the Rings appear to send some cosmic beacon
