I learned something stupid about Shang-Chi

I was gonna make a long post about the huge plot holes in Marvel Zombies, but I decided to hold that for a bit after I learned some weird stuff about Shang-Chi. In the MCU canon, Shang-Chi went into hiding from his dad in 2014. In the main timeline he stayed hidden for 10 years. He moved to San Francisco and after graduating high school in 2017, he started his job as a valet. WHERE HE WORKED FOR 7 YEARS. His first, and only job, he stayed at for 7 years. He does this all under the pretense of hiding from his father, BUT MARVEL ZOMBIES SHOWS THAT HIS DAD KNEW WHERE HE WAS THE WHOLE TIME BECAUSE HE SHOWS UP IN A HELICOPTOR AFTER 4 YEARS OF HIDING. THE ZOMBIE OUTBREAK STARTS AND HE'S THERE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. Weird stuff.

They know exactly where he is in the film too, since the Ten Rings show up to attack him on the bus in San Fransisco. If they know him well enough to put people on his bus route home, they’ve been surveilling him for a long time.

I mean they couldve gotten him anytime they wanted but they waited 10 years

Wenwu is functionally immortal, a decade is not exactly a big deal to him. I assumed it’s a ramping up of pressure from the Dweller in Darkness that made him come after Shang-Chi for the pendant, rather than waiting for Shang-Chi to be ready to talk before Wenwu approaches him.

Yes, that isnt a plot hole. You can wait to do something

Don't forget that he only changed his name to Shaun. Super different name

Most likely his dad knew from about like 2 years into his hiding and let him go to see how long he would continue until Shang-Chi supposedly would realize that he needed his dad or something.

GavPool422025-09-26 07:58

Its just so bewildering that he also arrived within minutes of the zombies starting too... I guess Shawn wasn't a good choice of a name lol

Demon-Devourer442025-09-26 08:00

Yeah, it's weird... I don't know how he did it, but I guess Wenwu had foresight or the rings can give oyu future-seeing abilities or something, I don't know. This would have been easier to answer had Marvel already made Shang-Chi 2 by now.

GavPool422025-09-26 08:02

Yeah pretty much lol.

What I was hoping from this series is that we could truly get Shang-Chi's power scaling to other heroes, but I guess I will never know until Doomsday.

GavPool422025-09-26 08:04

Yeah i don't think the show was very good for power scaling... especially because infinity hulk was actually less strong than regular comic hulk lmao

Demon-Devourer442025-09-26 08:07

Yeah, that's very accurate.

His father runs an international para military crime organization. He always knew where his son was.

Exactly, plus he straight up says that he knew where they were the entire time in the movie.

chiefbrody622025-09-28 04:04

Uh, his dad straight up says he's known where he and his sister have been the entire time in the movie, and was only hitting them up now because he thought he could rescue their mom.

It makes perfect sense that he would head over there the second he heard of the zombies, he most likely had people in SF watching him from nearby the entire time.
