Shang Chi is interesting among the Marvel films in that it gave us a visually interesting and well choreographed martial arts fight in the bus scene, but as if just to say "ok having established we can do that it's CGI nonsense you don't care about from here on out". Just... why?

This is as much of an indictment of the "stereotypical Shanghainese attitude" that pretty much everyone else in China lowkey despises them for: materialistic, snobby, money-obsessed... and absolutely full of themselves.
