Episode 689: The Legend of Scrutiny

Join the Overthinking It Discord Server

Peter Fenzel, Mark Lee, and Matthew Wrather overthink Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the surprise Labor Day hit which is the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and an answer to some of the Orientalism which has characterized Marvel’s previous Asian characters. The Overthinkers find that while the film is about two dragons fighting over a pearl, there’s enough nuance and individuality the film, and some wonderful performances by the cast, that it turns out better than it had any right to be.

Spoiler alert for Planet of the Apes.
