Man, I'm liking this movie more and more as I sit and stew on it. If they managed Adam Warlock a bit better I wouldn't argue of folks put it above No Way Home. That movie had the benefit of being more an event and a huge boost of nostalgia along with it. This was more a culmination of self contained characters that each got to finish an incredibly well done character arc.

They are both the only legitimately good MCU movies since Endgame though. |

I liked Shang Chi too, but it feels like that movie just came and went. The same with a lot of the TV shows. I think that's part of why Marvel feels so listless right now, they've gone too long without pulling things together. They really needed an in-between Avengers movie to let these new characters bounce off each other and keep them fresh in our minds.

They really need to establish the new main characters first without immediately throwing them into the overgrowing melting pot. It's what they did with Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America. |

They need to either recast and get on with it or pivot to a different big bad and let Kang simmer some more. That situation isn't going to resolve for a long time with how messy it is.

Shang Chi on the other hand had a movie in 2019, and probably won't be seen again until Kang Dynasty in 2025. That's six years between appearances. Even if you give them a pass on the lost COVID year it's still too long to maintain any momentum. |

I would put that on par with No Way Home as my favorite movie since Endgame. And honestly, I think it might edge it out. For a group that I knew nothing about before the first movie, I’ve become completely involved in all of their stories. It was bittersweet to see it all end but I’m glad they didn’t just keep it going and make it worse.
I guess the only two minor things that I could nitpick was Gamora and Adam Warlock. |

I enjoyed it a lot. Very self-contained and not too focused on world-building/tying it with other parts of the MCU.
The animal brutality at times was hard to watch, but I felt a majority of the time it was necessary to tell Rocket's origin. I don't quite understand the point of the High Evolutionary creating a world of furries, but whatever. For a Marvel Villain, I thought he was good. None of this redeemable quality bullshit. My major gripe aside from some of the animal scenes was Warlock being under used. |

Pretty damn good, the 3D was nice. Without letting it settle in and marinate a bit I'd rate is as top 3 or 4 Marvel movie. The animal cruelty was especially tough to watch, certainly got a bit misty in the theater.
