Every Headline MCU Protagonist Ranked From Worst To Best
16. Shang-Chi - Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings
One of the newest characters the MCU has introduced has already made a pretty big impression on fans, even if he’s only had a significant role in one movie. Shang-Chi is a highly compelling character that takes a new approach to storytelling in the MCU with a sins of the father storyline, the likes of which we haven’t seen before.
He’s a character with a lot of charm and wit who seems to know more than he leads on, while at the same time having a specific naïve nature to him. While the conflict with his father is a little supernatural, the family aspect of his story makes him a character easy to relate to and fun to be around.
His relationship with characters like his sister and best friend shows layers of depth in ways we haven’t seen in the MCU in a long time, and it’s great to see a down-to-earth character like Shang-Chi show up in the MCU at all.
However, he is still a relatively new character, meaning it's still too early to correctly say if he will become one of the all-time classics. Even still, Shang-Chi is a welcome new addition who can only go up from here.
