Fin Fang Foom !!!!!
I'm actually really looking forward to Shang Shi
for one thing , it will be nice to get something a little different
we've had ..............
Androids
Aliens
@ Wizards
so I'm looking forward to the martial arts of Marvel
when I was a kid , I don't think I ever actually bought a Shang Chi comic , but every time my mom took us kids shopping , anytime we ever went into a store that had a comic book rack , thats were I spent my time while mom was shopping , and I do remember reading , or at least flipping through pages of Shang Chi comics
it was the 70's , and Marvel was clearly cashing in on Bruce Lee's popularity , because thats clearly what Shang Chi was
I don't remember Shang Chi crossing over much with the rest of Marvel , but I do remember Shang Chi dealing with maybe somemore adult themed stories , like the Chinese underground that dealt with crime and drugs , and , well , some other stuff
but that was 30 some years ago , and I know his character has be rebooted a few times since then , he never used to have any super human powers , he was just at the peak of his art , he was also considered Marvel's number one martial artist , even though he posed no super powers , but I'm sure he does now as Marvel has updated his character , even though I couldn't tell you what it was
from what I've read , the movie is taking even more liberty with his character , making him the son of the Mandarin , which he never was in the comics
but when you take a character that's unfamiliar with most people , your free to change a few more things
but one thing to look forward to , it's being reported that the Mandarin will awaken Fin Fang Foom !!!!!!!!!!!!
that alone should be worth the price of admission
Peter Parker was always Stan Lee's favorite character , but if you've ever seen a interview with Stan Lee where he talks about Fin Fang Foom , he lights up like a kid on Christmas morning , Fin Fang Foom was defiantly one of Stan lee's favorite characters
