She even provided Ta Lo with gifts, such as her dragon scales, which the villagers used to make their weapons.

* {{Retcon}}: A wonderful example. Between this and ''Film/IronMan3'', the YellowPeril character of the Mandarin was transformed into first a racist pastiche created by an AxCrazy white guy, then into a real thousand year old war/crime-lord who rather resented the racist pastiche in a film that was much more respectful to Chinese culture and Wuxia.

We can see his face before his collar or lack of tie.


** Due to Shang-Chi putting on a dress shirt and tie, we are led to believe that Shang-Chi is the man exiting a flashy sports car in the beginning of the movie. However, once the camera pans out, we see that it's actually some random dude while Shang-Chi is actually his ''valet''. (There's a bit of FiveSecondForeshadowing in that the rich dude is not wearing a tie and his collar is unbuttoned.)

The film introduces Xu Shang-Chi (Creator/SimuLiu), a skilled Chinese martial artist who's tried to create a normal life for himself in San Francisco. He finds himself forced to confront his past once his father Xu Wenwu (Creator/TonyLeungChiuWai) - the mythical basis of [[Film/IronMan3 Aldrich Killian's "Mandarin" persona]] - tries to draw him back into his criminal organization, the [[Characters/MCUTenRings Ten Rings]], named after the magical combat artifacts he owns.

The film introduces Xu Shang-Chi (Creator/SimuLiu), a skilled Chinese martial artist who's tried to create a normal life for himself in San Francisco. He finds himself forced to confront his past once his father Xu Wenwu (Creator/TonyLeungChiuWai) - -- the mythical basis of [[Film/IronMan3 Aldrich Killian's "Mandarin" persona]] - -- tries to draw him back into his criminal organization, the [[Characters/MCUTenRings Ten Rings]], named after the magical combat artifacts he owns.



** We're lead to believe that Wenwu and the Ten Ring's intentions with Shang-Chi, Xialing, and their pendants were nefarious. His intentions turn out to be a (misguided) attempt at being a fair father - he just told his men to screw with them.

** Shang-Chi is shown to be willing to kill Death Dealer, with quick-time flashbacks indicating he does so out of vengeance for Death Dealer's part in his TrainingFromHell, and even before that he has no compunctions about throwing Ten Rings operatives out of the bus in San Francisco or off of a building in Macau to their likely deaths. [[spoiler:This is a hint at him having killed before - despite what he told Katy, he did assassinate the leader of the Iron Gang ten years prior.]]

* NamedByTheAdaptation: The name Xu Wenwu is original to this continuity. In the comics, the Mandarin's real name is unknown. It is interesting to note that Xu Wenwu - perhaps intentionally - rhymes with Fu Manchu. The name is an answer to the word Mandarin, a term for Chinese bureaucrat and Wenwu comes from wen (civil) and wu (martial), a concept of Chinese administration and philosophy.

* ReimaginingTheArtifact: The film serves to reinvision Shang-Chi and the Mandarin - two Chinese characters in Creator/MarvelComics with considerable [[ValuesDissonance racist]] baggage - for the 21st century.
** First, there is Shang-Chi himself. In his original 1970s comics, Shang-Chi was depicted as a BruceLeeClone who was the son of ''the'' YellowPeril villain Literature/FuManchu. Due to both changing racial attitudes and the [[ExiledFromContinuity expired Fu Manchu license]], Shang-Chi in the film is instead the son of the Mandarin, thereby allowing the film to do justice to Shang-Chi's CharacterArc as the "heroic son of a villainous father''. The movie also fleshes out Shang-Chi's origins as a BruceLeeClone by focusing on his status as both the son of the leader of the Ten Rings and an Chinese immigrant in the United States.
** Second, there is the Mandarin. The filmmakers at Creator/MarvelStudios were so passionate about modernizing the Mandarin - a classic YellowPeril villain - that they drafted a list of Asian stereotypes that they wanted to avoid. As a result, Wenwu is portrayed as more sympathetic and complex than either of his comics counterparts (the Mandarin and Fu Manchu [=/=] Zheng Zu). The fact that this movie was directed and written by filmmakers of Asian descent and features a predominantly Asian cast likely helps.

* SpiritualAntithesis: To ''Film/{{BlackPanther|2018}}''. Both movies are the MCU's first movies to center of leads of color (Black for ''Black Panther'', Chinese/East Asian for ''Shang-Chi''), and both movies feature TheHero and the BigBad be related (T'Challa and Killmonger being ClashingCousins in ''Black Panther'', Xu Wenwu [=/=] the Mandarin being Shang-Chi's ArchnemesisDad in ''Shang-Chi''). Moreover, both movies have one of the main characters live in the United States before coming to their family's country (Wakanda in ''Black Panther'', China in ''Legend of the Ten Rings''). However, there are some crucial differences:
** In ''Black Panther'', Killmonger - the BigBad - was raised in the United States and comes to Wakanda to [[TheUsurper claim the throne]] from his cousin T'Challa [[SinsOfTheFather in retalation]] [[RevengeByProxy for the former's father N'Boku's death at the hands of T'Challa's father King T'Chaka]], while in ''Legend of the Ten Rings'', Shang-Chi is an immigrant from China who seeks to ''avoid'' taking his place in his father's organization, the Ten Rings, and [[spoiler:is raked with guilt over ''his own'' killing of the man who murdered Shang-Chi's mother Ying Li]].
** There is also an inversion of the dynamics in power and status between the hero and the villain: In ''Black Panther'', the titular hero, T'Challa [=/=] Black Panther, utilizes the wealth, Vibranium-based equipment and mystical empowerments that his position as King of Wakanda affords him, while his opponent Killmonger, [[VillainousUnderdog grew up with none of that]] until usurping the Wakandan throne and [[EmpoweredBadassNormal said resources]]. By contrast, ''Legend of the Ten Rings'' has Shang-Chi, a BadassNormal hero who worked in the United States in minimum-wage jobs, going up against the BigBad, Xu Wenwu [=/=]the Mandarin, a wealthy, immortal warlord who asserts his position as the leader of the Ten Rings with the titular ten [[MagicalAccessory powered arm rings]]. [[spoiler:Unlike Killmonger, Shang-Chi, at the end of his movie, both earns and inherits the Rings after making amends with his father and defeating the Dweller-in-Darkness, and is implied to use them for more benevolent purposes.]]

This is, of course, ignoring the fact that Shang-Chi was only ''seven years old'' at the time, and hiding because his mother told him to.
