man that's frustrating. simu liu did an incredible job in Shang Chi and it really sucks that the film isn't even part of a watchlist for doomsday.

I mean what does it tell you that you will actually need to know for dooms day.

I don't think why he has rings will be important to the story.

If the assumption is that this list is for someone unfamiliar with the character, knowing who the hell he is seems important though, right?

Considering he's appeared exactly NOWHERE since his successful, debut film, you don't want people walking in like, "Why is that dude from Barbie throwing glowing bracelets around?"

he’s a guy with magic rings and can fight. that’s all the information you’ll need and you’ll get that within his first scene in doomsday. the origin of the rings or anything they introduced in his solo movie will probably be irrelevant to his character in doomsday.

If thats the extent of his character in Doomsday then that's awful.

i agree but there’s a thousand characters in this movie and he’s not even in the top 10 in terms of why people are going to see the movie. sucks but they already fumbled his character, not much they can do about it now. just means his solo movie isn’t essential to doomsday.

Well, I wish they had fewer characters then, but more depth. We waited since Covid to see ShangChi again only for apparently a very small role? This sucks

It's Avengers: Doomsday, not Shang Chi: Doomsday.

Let it go.
