This is the MCU. If you want that, you should be watching the DCEU...

Well, yes, there is that. However I found plenty of chuckles. M'Baku was funny. And Riri has some decent, albeit hackneyed lines. Which brings us to Riri...

Riri was a college student, at MIT no less, so not quite a kid, but we're old, so that one slides. Riri is key to yet another upcoming MCU show, specifically her upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart. Riri's father, the one who she thinks is dead and left her that sweet ride, is a member of the Ten Rings. Enter Shang-Chi. The Ten Rings emblem also appears in Ant-Man (setting up the next one - Phase 5.1 Quantumania) and in Mrs. Marvel (setting up Phase 5.3 The Marvels). This is scheduled to all play out in 2023.
