#i know shang-chi isn't nearly as recognisable a character in marvel comics as black panther is

I hope the Shang-chi movie provides for the Asian community what Black Panther or Luke Cage provided for the black community.
I remember Black Panther was released during a time when our community was struggling (more than usual, I guess) and just broadcasting to the world that we could be royalty, come from wisdom and beauty and power aaahhtfred yes! Or in Luke Cage, there was a man that wanted to help his community and happened to have the amazing ability to not be hurt by bullets; just all these positive things to indulge in really had us all in party mode. I hope the Black Panther sequel refreshes that feeling for us.
I know the Asian community is currently struggling as well, so I really hope Shang-chi is successful and gives you guys something to celebrate during these times. Puff out your chests a little bit, enjoy it.
(Disclaimer: I am not claiming any of these movies solve racism or anything. Just provide a source of escapism that you can enjoy as well as promoting a large scale source of love to the world for the associated community represented in these films)
