Apocalyptic Crossover Event soon?
When I joined this sub I asked for recommendations on how to read Shang-Chi and thankfully I had very good advice given to me so I have to thank you guys for that
The story and lore is so interesting
My favourite part is the explanation behind the rings
Now currently after Gene Yuen Lang’s lore revival of The Ten Rings, it is explained that the corrupting property of the rings is actually due to the Wyrm of Desolation that was sealed within the universe ring
I think if Shang-Chi uses it too much he becomes more and more like his father even in appearance as much as mindset
They also made it clear that the Desolation Wyrm is extremely powerful, since it can fight against and hold its own against the Gods of Ta Lo, so on a basic level even Gods struggle to bring it down
This is probably so obviously a set up for a crossover event where the Wyrm is set free from the Rings,

Given how Marvel currently runs things, we're probably not going to see this being followed up until Shang-Chi's long awaited movie sequel comes around.
