Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Review - SPOILERS

After years of theorizing, you know who has finally made his MCU debut. The rumors were true! We can't wait to dive in to what that means for Riri but also the MCU at large as we prepare for Fantastic 4: First Steps and Avengers: Doomsday. Who would have ever thought that Ironheart and Avengers: Doomsday could be tied?Thanks for supporting Friends From Work and our sponsors!FRIENDS FROM WORK: theffwpodcast.com/shopHOMAGE: homage.sjv.io/FFWORGANIC PRICED BOOKS: Use our promo code: FRIENDSFROMWORK for even deeper discounts.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/friends-from-work-an-unofficial-marvel-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

It was just a few weeks ago that we were talking about Ironheart being the least anticipated project in the MCU's long history. But after watching the first three episodes, we are left wondering, why didn't Marvel promote this more? This show is way too good to be left out of the party. So buckle up because Ironheart is a connected MCU show that we all need right now, and it brings some fun twists and unexpected turns along the way.Thanks for supporting Friends From Work and our sponsors!FRIENDS FROM WORK: theffwpodcast.com/shopHOMAGE: homage.sjv.io/FFWORGANIC PRICED BOOKS: Use our promo code: FRIENDSFROMWORK for even deeper discounts.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/friends-from-work-an-unofficial-marvel-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A few weeks ago, we went back and ranked every project from the MCU Infinity Saga and our journey continues with our official rankings of all the movies within the Mulitverse Saga. Even though there are only 13 movies that have released thus far, this episode turned into 90 minutes of discussion as to which tier each one falls into. Are any of these hot takes? Where are we wrong? Where are we right? How does your list differ?
