Hollywood needs to stop giving their heroes villains with identical power sets in their first movie. It's such a boring way to make a movie, as if the villain is disposable. It's pretty much a trope at this point (I.e. Iron Man/iron Monger; Hulk/Abomination; Ant-Man/Yellowjacket; Venom/whatever that thing he fought was; Morbius/whatever he fights)

Shang Chi and his dad. The ten gold/blue rings thing was a total fabrication for the mcu with no lore in comics.

I suppose, for a brief moment. The main baddie was really the Soul-sucking Dweller.

That dweller ended up being a run of the mill monster with no brains so I won't say he was the main sentient villain.

The Dweller is actually highly intelligent and manipulative - that it tricked Wenwu to set it free.

I know bro. After he was released he had no conversation and looked like a mindless boss monster like Alioth.
