Tao Lo from Shang-Chi

I forgot who or where I had this conversation on Reddit BUT people were saying Tao Lo from Shang-Chi was a city or town like Kun'Lun from Iron Fist and I disagreed.

I always thought they were both whole other planets maybe even universes.

I was kinda thinking similar to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. where the Monolith sends people to another planet that supports an advance civilization.

I'm watching Shang-Chi on Halloween cause I live a sad and pathetic life and the Auntie says Tao Lo is another Realm that has cities far more Advanced than our universe.

Meaning they only live in a town surrounded by water to gaurd against the Dweller in Darkness.

Also I want to add that I veiw Iron Fist the exact same way. In fact if you read Iron Fist comics and Shang-Chi comics the Shang-Chi film barrows alot alot (steals) alot from Iron Fist.

I think Tao Lo in the MCU is one of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven like Kun'Lun. They both have Dragons which was very glossed over in Iron Fist cause they had no budget and the Dr. Strange film wasn't out yet.

(Remember Thor was like there is no magic it's advance science) then (Doctor Strange is like don't think about bitch OPEN MAGIC PORTAL!!!)

Anyways I had more to say but I'm done for now.

They're both implied to be magical pocket dimensions or something, no? That's what I always assumed.

Here's the actual quote

> We have cities that surpass any in your universe, rich with culture and history.

So yes, it is bigger than what we get to see in the movie. But wether it's as big as a continent, the whole planet or an entire universe we don't know.

I don't think that it's another planet like Maveth, but being like Kun'Lun does make sense.

Do you think it's more like Asgard??

marvelcomics222025-11-01 15:15

By 'like Asgard', if you mean a whole other planet that you can get on a spaceship and go to, I don't think so.

It’s a pocket universe. Pretty sure it’s explicitly said either in the movie, or officially by Marvel.

Yeah, I probably didn't explain it well, but I agree with you. But other people were saying that it is just a town and nothing else in the universe.

Like a flat chunk of a town floating in space of that universe where else I say it was a whole other planet.

Ooooh. I never really thought about it. But I’d guess there’s a lot more than just a town. What we see is just the group that specifically guards the realm(s) jail-like thing that keeps the baddies away.

Actually, iirc, the chief or whomever says something like “this is just a small town. Our shit is massive and we’re better than you in every way!” Lol.

So I don’t even think it’s a debate. That’s like thinking the NYC we see in MoM is the only city in the alternate universe.
