I respect y'alls opinions. I personally loved it all the way through. I absolutely loved the dragons and the final battle. It's not without it's flaws, but I have this one ranked in the upper tier of the solo/origin movies.
Nerd Soup fans cannot wait for Saturday night to see what the boys Tweet after watching Dune!
Legit, I'll be heartbroken if they say it's bad
@@GalinDray I think they'll Love it. Just rewatched their first reaction the the trailer, Beau said it could already be the best movie ever off the trailer alone. Lol! So Good!
I’m not watching any Dune or Matrix reviews until after I experience for myself.
review starts at 11:10
Why would you want to skip the discussion about trimming arm hair?
Shang-Chi actually teaches Spider-Man kung-fu and how to better utilize his abilities and implement them into his fighting style.
I was discussing with my wife. I brought up the yin yang elements, and the father's sacrifice. She said "I know. Add in the red/blue rings in place of light sabers, and you got Asian Star Wars." And I can't stop thinking about it.
Nothing better than a 10 minute Nerd Soup cold open😂
Loved this film especially the fight scenes/choreography
I personally really enjoyed the movie. It really did feel like a fun and unique movie in the MCU. It certainly wasn't without its flaws and the boys criticism is certainly valid, especially about the end fight sequence. I personally rank it in the top 3 solo origin stories behind Iron Man and 1st Avenger.
i think the end fight was dope instead of some generic battle we got some cool ass dragons its still an mcu movie so we shouldnt be surprised with the end but this was way better than a lot of large mcu battles
@@SKULLKR3W I didn't think it was bad by any means. It was well done and looked good.
My problem that the movie felt pretty small, intimate and personal that centred around the family drama/dynamic. They kind of dropped all of it for what seems like an out of nowhere CGI fest that's essentially meaningless. It was too jarring a shift for my taste.
Michael K. Williams is from the same neighborhood as me in Flatbush (Brooklyn) dude was truly amazing never forgot where he came from, even gave my little 16yr old brother and his best friend a interview on their show R.I.P.
Man….losing Michael Kenneth Williams was a tough one. Rest in Power King 🕊
Thank goodness I was starting to worry about where my soup was
Topic on the end credits tho, Captain Marvel has longer hair versus her in End Game, which that coupled with Mark Ruffalo brings into question how far into the future is Shang Chi in the Marvel timeline.
Just before the Cap/Falcon show
Loved this entry into the mcu. An awesome blend of martial arts, fantasy and superhero action. Top 5 villian IMO. Enjoyed the humor and score. I'm also a sucker for monsters battling it out.
The 3rd act is soo easy to follow I have no clue what people are talking about
Yeah it feels very anime like which is great
@@bullrun2772 they mention that later too
@@kingdarius513 wow hm. People need to see anime to understand this fight in Shang chi
"She seemed a little shook." "Two guys in a Kia? I don't blame her."
Really guys? Movie was a banger . IMAX 4d was sick .. love it
I feel like they've become more critical since GoT season 8. They got a LOT of hate for enjoying certain episodes and since then I've noticed them hating a lot more than they used to. From my perspective that's how it seems anyway. I thought this movie was amazing.
@@Blinkptx it does seem like that, since GOT...
I think you can like something and still dislike parts of it. I don't know how you can love everything about it... Mindless action and CG, some annoying characters, sTroNg FeMaLe squeezed in to beat up huge guys, aliens or the main character who trained their entire life... It's not all perfect but you can still enjoy it.
Personally i think it was kinda bland, they could have gone deeper in the charaters
@@iSOBigDdidn't say it was perfect, but I'd give it a 8/10...maybe 8.5/10....great fun, awesome fights, the rings were so cool... Easter eggs and future implications...everything I like...connective tissue galore ...W
Saw Shang-Chi on Monday, really enjoyed it, the fight/flirt scene was filmed beautifully, excited to watch the whole thing again, especially since I was next to annoying people in the theatre.
"Two guys in a Kia" during the cold opening was hilarious
Have such a great time this weekend, can't wait to see what you guys think of the new movies coming out, especially Dune, and check out your TIFF adventures on the socials : )
These films have young fans too and some of the deep parts of the story isn’t meant for them dwell on hence the breaks in tension. However special effects and big fight scene do appeal to them (and adults as well). They aren’t calling it CGI. They have a balanced and proven formula. Fantasy is going to involved what it always has.
Rip🙌 Omar was such an iconic character
Commenting as I’m starting to listen to predict the number of basketball references: 4.
The real takeaway from this hour long podcast: Two guys in a Kia (pod/playlist on the road to Toronto?)
Also, Kia drivers . . . *ASSEMBLE*
Best line of the pod!
Love a long Pod 👌
44:42 rip *Michael K Williams* 🥺 he was also great in Boardwalk Empire & Lovecraft Country too.
Live in California and I have never heard anyone pronounce Shaun that way…
Never lol. I’m from LA my NY college roommate would totally ignore the A in Shaun and extend as Sshhhon lol
Wow not the white guy trying to avoid the right pronunciation and making excuses. I’m so shocked
I loved the movie but i agree with you guys on the third act. i wish marvel would not always have their third act filled with crazy explosions. I would have preffered if it was more personal and grounded with pure martial arts instead of big cgi battle. i also like your comparison to black panther. it shed new light for me.
Wow I didn’t even seen the explosion
are you guys going to cover What If?
Long week off guys I was waiting!
Shawn is not SHAN in California. Its pronounced like SHANG. Long a.
And don't gimme that Sean bullshit.
When Ted asked if the sling was gonna set up more in the mcu 😂 next film Bruce Banner and The Legend Of The Sling 😂
Why is no one wondering why Wong was buddies with Abomination? None of the youtuber reviews I've seen mention that 😅
How are you about to review a movie you haven't seen? Otherwise great pod!!
Hugo Weaving did not come back, scheduling issues. And the Shannon/Weaving buddy road trip film - get on it, Aaron.
It reminded me of star wars...minus space and lightsabers...the father was like the Darth Vader type...he's more of a tragic figure instead of full villain, those voice were totally munipulating him. They even have a (with the sister) princess leia type-of-character, she's the spare incase things don't go well with male protagonist. Awkwafina was definitely the han solo type with her mad driving skills. I don't know if it was paying homage or ripping it off?....in the final act they went full MARVEL though!!!!
I had the same thought. The father in this film basically went through Anakin’s transition to the dark side but in a more understandable abs believable way
I also thought the last conflicts didn't need a huge battle. I want more confrontations like the ones between the visions at the end of Wandavision. With our current climate, the theme of reaching a parent in denial could have touched people on lots of levels. Think.... Them convincing their dad that their mom is definitely dead and he needs to accept his guilt is like convincing your dad that Q is a fake conspiracy theory and you need to get him out of the rabbit hole.
Can't do matrix without Weaving or Fishburn. You just can't.
Matrix was not destroyed it was Rebooted when Sati (the little girl) made the new sunrise with no green in color palette. Neo and Trinity presumed dead but who knows maybe consciousness uploaded without bodies or maybe rebuilt from last of cells after death. Remember they grow humans they don’t have to birth anyone whose to say they didn’t regrow them and used their last upload to Matrix to simulate consciousness
Soups on boy's
Ya'll gonna get in on that Scooby-Doo/Courage the Cowardly Dog cross over?
Aarons right, there is a different vibe between you guys and everyone here in California. Though I think you guys got the weed smoking down lol
y'all are a little delusional. the wire was HUGE when it was airing. was not underappreciated at all.
This is false, i didnt hear about The Wire until someone told me Breaking Bad was the poor mans version of it.
The sister was total eye candy for me...she was smoking hot!!!!
I'VE BEEN WAITING
No. Go with what the name actually sound like. It's just rude. Sorry.
I think the third act of Shang Chi ruined the movie for me. I swear there was a ten minute span of music swelling and just visuals being thrown at you. More fighting less cgi.
Wow and they were still fighting
I totally agree some people are too famous for huge franchise films. People always called Luke Skywalker Luke, not mark Hamill. However, if people see Tom Hanks in fantastic four and they think of him as "Tom Hanks" instead of reed Richards, that's a casting failure.
I think they should give people options...i don't mind sitting home and watching a new on my smart tv. The theatre sucked anyway even before covid.
That's the biggest issue I have with movies today. Lets blow shit up
Funny when this was not just that
Id honestly rather the ability to skip theatres, never found the appeal
I liked trevor's inclusion as a way to just jab at their mistakes...but then he didnt leave
Best parts of movie: the dad and his story with his wife, nice hand to hand combat, his sister
Worst part: aquafina, the main character is uninteresting, the cgi, movie feels like asian black panther, and aquafina
This movie looks just interesting enough to watch youtube reviews. But not interesting enough to see.
Do you watch people play video games on Let's Play and pretend that you actually played the game as well??
I was disappointed with the movie, it wasnt that good, 4/10. I would rather watch antman than shang chi again. It was boring and bland. I only really enjoyed the last part with wong.
@@cunningflop who are you? Sad that you like your own comment
@@cunningflop and you should probably learn to write before you attack other people, its called autistic. I am not autistic, and even if i was, why would it matter. Seems like you have a lot of hate you need to sort out
Huh?
@@dreamofsprings so youre saying you havent been checked right?
@@cunningflop did you delete your comment? Damn you are a coward too
Script was terrible, leads had zero chemistry and couldn't act. As result you don't care what happens to the characters. Humour was like something from a teen comedy. Battle at the end looked cheap, could tell a mile off it was all done on sound stage. Saving grace was a good villain and wong cameos. But they even ruined abomination. Making a psycho monster into a sparring partner for wong and not bothering to give him any dialog. Very disappointing and a wasted opportunity to do something different in the MCU.
this script was not terrible stop bullshitting
You seem super fun to b around
@@TronApostle Toxic reply
Thats like every single marvel movie lol
