• This week on Multiverse Monologues, the Marvel Movie Marathon continues its journey through 2021 with Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. Ben, Ethan, and Micah reconvene to dissect the film that captivated audiences with its fight choreography and the MCU's first Asian-led superhero.
• Does the film live up to its initial hype? And how does it hold up years later? This episode dives deep into the film and how it resonates four years after its release.
• So fire up your sling ring, hit the hyperdrive, and join us as we journey to Ta Lo once more.
• Editors Note - In classic Multiverse Monologue fashion, we forgot to turn the mics on. So we ended up using the camera audio instead. It’s not too bad, but that’s why it sounds a little off. Hopefully it’s not too hard to listen to. So yeah, sorry about that!
