Some website posted early projections, which seem like nonsense to me since the tickets are not even available yet, and they are not the greatest. They are making the rounds on Twitter, and people are showing their ass by trying to bring up Black Panther

I hate how non black people have started adapted to talking like black people online. It’s annoying as hell but yes Karen and Chad. Defend and use your whiteness for something serious for once. I’ve never heard of this movie btw.

I won't be watching this sh!t just because of their annoying, "what about me", headasses!!!!! fµck!ng annoying. They did the same thing with that lame crazy rich Asians movie. They tried to guilt black people into giving a fµck about the movie. Careful y'all. They might accuse you of being anti Asian for not seeing this damn movie.

People need to stop telling black people what not to and what to support. We aren't the worlds people crutch, tf. Anyway. Black people was going to support the film just off GP and because most of us like martial arts films. Now it makes me don't want to even watch it, because they feel entitled and comparing it to black films.....

Honestly, the movie looks like nothing new. Is it weird that I’m tired of Asians only doing Kung fu in all of their action movies? It’s boring and stereotypical at this point.

And, why would we support them when they went hard against black panther in the first place? We don’t owe them a damn thing

If Asians show up and show out for this movie like we did for. Lack Panther, it’ll have all the hype and excitement that it’ll need. And it’s a Marvel movie, it isn’t gonna flop no matter what anyway. Why are we involved again?

Lol Marvel has been doing a bad job of promo...I saw that damn Run the Jewels Black Panther commercial 10 times a day..Black Panther is more mainstream known...A LOT of people don't know who the fµck Shang Chi is to care to support...and it's not like they had Easter Eggs or teasers to anticipate his arrival in other movies

Exactly. A lot of people I know were like who the hell is Shang Chi and The Eternals. I had to explain to them who they were, because Marvel didn't do a good job of setting them for casual fans....

Honestly I had no idea who this character was, I still don't. In all my years I never heard of him prior to Marvel announcing the movie.

Even though I never watched or read anything with him in in I had heard of Dr Strange and was aware he did magic. I also heard of Ant Man too.

Now being fair, I never heard of Guardians of the galaxy before the movies but it starred Zoe Saldana and has a talking raccoon and tree and the trailer looked dope, especially with the soundtrack.

I've seen the Shang Chi trailer and it doesn't stand out to me. Neither does the Eternals, who I also never heard of prior to Marvel announcing their movie.

Black panther was shown in Captain America Civil war so that helped boost excitement for his own movie. They already showed in that movie he was a bad ass so that helped the hype. Plus for me, I heard of him prior to him being announced in the MCU. I read one comic before but I knew a teensy bot of his background prior. He wasn't an obscure character.

They should be the change they want to see. They can start the hype train themselves.

Black people weren't asking others to hype it, WE DID THAT sh!t OURSELVES!

That being said if it's a good movie, it's a good movie. It's Marvel so it'll sell on that alone, although with Covid around it may diminish the box office returns compared to what it would have made if Covid wasn't around. That said it'll most likely do better than non Marvel releases.

I knew it was coming. If there's one thing Asians and Latinos are good for, it's feeling entitled to our energy.

Has Gina Rodriguez put out her obligatory "what about me" statement yet? I'm guessing she won't since it's not a black movie.

Why don’t they get their own people to show up and show out? We did for Black Panther. I know black people that knew nothing about Marvel going to see Black Panther. Why do we always have to show up for everyone else? Plus I honestly don’t know this character and I am a Marvel stan.

I don't like the tone of these tweets so I'll be re-watching Black Panther on Shang Chi's release date.

I remember Asian twitter saying they couldn't relate to Rue because she was black in the Hunger Games movie. But we supposed to hype their movie.

They don't really care about this movie either which is why they can't stop worrying about what we are doing.

Good lord, does EVERYTHING have to be turned into a culture war for twitter nut bags to argue about(why am I even asking)? It's a Flippin comic book movie, either watch it or don't watch it.

Twitter is a cesspool of idiots.

We are in a completely different era of Marvel right now, nevermind the fact that we’re still in the midst of a global pandemic, Shang Chi is just not a popular character.

The previous marvel movies had the benefit of being connected to each other so even if you didn’t know a character by heart you got excited for their solo movie by seeing them in other films. If you don’t know anything about Shang Chi the trailers just look like any other Kung Fu movie.

I’m excited to see it but I also don’t wanna go to a movie theater just yet so I’ll be waiting to watching it from the safety of my home.

Black Panther was already included in the MCU during Civil War. The BP story arch was also very important in Infinity War outside of the Black Panther movie itself.

If they had included this Shang Chi character earlier or kicked off this characters inter-connected relationship to the overall MCU then this would get more hype without much effort.

A few of the MCU films that seemed stand alone initially did not do spectacularly at the Box Office.
Thor, Ant Man, CA; The first Avenger.

A lot of people went to see Captain Marvel for example because they knew it would have relevance to Endgame and because she showed up at the end of Infinity War. Hence the huge take at the Box office.

Marvel need to reveal more of how Shang Chi is linked to the MCU future or its past, the success of this is on them and how they market and integrate this character in the MCU phases.

Edit: if they want to make it about Race, well then Asians have the largest population in the world, if they all show out it will do just fine.

People of all ethnicities can hype this film if they feel like it, for example if they are hard core MCU fans or comic book fans that know and love the character.

We are in the middle of a Pandemic. Even Black widow took a huge hit because of this...
Honestly complainers need to be more realistic about the time we are living in.

I really don't know much about Asians. in the USA are they even united like that? Indians are the second-largest Asian group in the USA, are they really hyped to see Shang-Chi because of Asian leads? On their own East Asians don't have the numbers in the USA to pull off a black Panther. Culturally ADOS is one of the largest ethnic groups in the United States with at least 40 to 50 million people.

Black people are not your mules!

Anyway, I'm sure Marvel and the house of Mickey Mouse will find a way to collect their coins for Shang-Chi!
I read the comics when I was a kid, will watch but not going out of my way to encourage others to watch it.

Give us the Lady 'STORM' movie we've been asking for since forever, then we can talk! ;)

I want to see it, but in the age of being able to watch movies from home, I don't really feel like leaving my house for it in these COVID times. I think the decision to have a theater only release is going to negatively affect sales. Plus why we gotta do everything for everybody?!

Plus I heard that in Asian culture, the main actor isn't considered attractive, so that could be a major reason why they aren't really talking about it.
