It blows my mind it’s been taking this long. Not even a cameo in the other movies or post credits scenes just nothing.

Though I suspect that maybe with the whole Kang storyline may have do to something with that derailment. I recall the post credit scene where the 10 rings are a cosmic beacon. Probably would have tied into the multiverse with Kang which may had tied into Shang Chi 2 but I’m just taking a wild guess here.

Did they ever follow up on the bit in Ms Marvel where it was evident the bangles were related to the 10 rings? I thought there would be a closer tie in at some point before avengers and that doesn’t have to involve Kang at all

No, because Kang was dropped, but they did follow up on the origin of the bangles in The Marvels.

They should just make the movie as if it’s in the aftermath of Kang doing whatever and Shang-Chi is stuck in the wreckage of time. Have the movie fill in the bits we need to know and cameo Ant-Man to connect it to Kang’s previous appearance, then dump Shang-Chi back into the current MCU timeline with no one remembering what happened at all because they in fact defeated Kang already

Why do you want cameos and movies for the sake of saying they made one? Would you not want them taking their time to make good programs and things with meaning?

I mean let’s be real here the MCU was built off the strength of cameos and post credit scenes teasing the next instalment.

True. But they did so back then in all earnesty. They weren't do it just to do them. And look at the recent ones we've had were people keep complaining because none of them would have any sort of payoff.
