The "experiment" line was a hundred percent talking about the release strategy of the movie. 100 percent about that, clear as day, on paper and there is no possible way to interpret it as otherwise if you've read the words in the context of the interview he was doing. Dude was directly contrasting it against Black Widow's release. "As far as the theatrical window for the upcoming Labor Day weekend release of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Chapek called the 45-day frame for the pic before it hits Disney+ “an interesting experiment,” and “another data point” for the studio as it juggles theatrical releases with its streaming service." deadline.com/2021/08/shang-chi-disney-theatrical-day-and-date-bob-chapek-earnings-1234813885/Everything's got to be a friggin' culture war fight now. Can't WAIT for this movie. I love me some martial arts action and the high energy, quippy pace of Marvel could make this a ton of fun. Get me in that theater on day 1. I mean, nobody is acting like it is. It’s just a really boneheaded thing to do with rising global cases, inconsistent restrictions on a country by country basis and Disney themselves putting out the numbers saying Black Widow was a major success on Premium Access. So why not just do that again? Oh wait, that already screwed the pooch by not paying the people who work on the movie so clearly you must throw it out there and go “Oh well, no more of that” if people don’t decide to go see it. That makes sense to me.

I know its highly unlikely, but I hope we get a cameo of Iron Fist during the cell fights. Show part of one going on and we see a fist drawing back and starts to glow

I'll be seeing this on Tuesday. Hearing good buzz not just from fanboys, but people who don't normally take to the MCU either...so I hope this falls into the same camp as the Cap movies, Thor 1, Iron Man 1, Incredible Hulk, and Black Panther for me.

I mean, the point was that you were saying people were annoyed at the quotes at the fact that it was relating to trying to make a statement about race when really, people were annoyed about the fact that, after the bigging up of Premium Access as a way for people to see movies during an ongoing pandemic, the fact they were scrapping it for some movies for an “interesting experiment” could be seen as really illogical business wise and slightly tasteless considering, again, ongoing pandemic where people are rightfully concerned about going to the cinema.

Or maybe you and I are reading different peoples reactions.

Or maybe you and I are reading different peoples reactions. I mean, sure, but that also doesn’t take away from the confusion of going “We made $30m from people buying Black Widow to watch” to “Well, we’re never going to do this again” unless you’re really into the industry stuff of the Scarlett suit, right? And if you want to make that race argument, I guess I can see the side of people being cynical about them not doing this with the film with mostly white people but doing it with the film with mostly Asians. And I can’t turn around and say to those people they’re being silly because Hollywood has a long history of pushing the goalposts back with this stuff.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I want Katy to show up in Hawkeye, taking archery lessons.
I loved how everyone was just cool to let her hang out, even Wong just automatically bringing her along.
It should just be a whole thing now, just every now and then, like Katy has a room at the Avengers compound, because after Endgame, all the heroes kinda realize it would be useful to have anyone even remotely useful on call just in case.

It's shattered the labor day record and made almost double what it was expected to make domestically
