7. Wenwu's Brutal Revenge Flashback

A flashback reveals the nature of Shang-Chi and Xialing's mother's death - a rival criminal outfit to the Ten Rings, the Iron Gang, shows up at the family home seeking retribution against Wenwu.

With Wenwu nowhere to be found, they decide instead to take revenge by murdering his wife Li, all while a young Shang-Chi looks on helplessly.

This leads to a tremendously satisfying and surprisingly brutal sequence where we see Wenwu exacting savage vengeance against some of those responsible for his wife's death.

Using his magical rings, he throws men out of windows, blocks shotgun blasts with ease, hurls men across the room, and finally, caves some poor sap's face in with the rings. Yikes.
