Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings just came out to the theaters - It's the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first Asian lead superhero, and it's crushing it and breaking records at the box office! How does Shang-Chi tie in with the rest of the Avengers? Who is the Mandarin really? How is a headless mythical creature so cute even without a head?
