It can’t get more honest than this. Popular YouTube channel Screen Junkies, known for their hilarious and brutally honest videos called Honest Trailers recently released an honest trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The movie was released last September, received positive reviews, and grossed $431 million worldwide.

When a popular movie becomes available on Blu-Ray or Digital HD, that means we can expect an Honest Trailer from Screen Junkies soon. And their honest trailer for the MCU movie starring Simu Liu made fun of Netflix’s Marvel show Iron Fist. Honest Trailers usually start with a proper introduction and basic facts about the movie, and for Shang-Chi, it goes like this: “For the very first time, the MCU is bringing a martial arts master from the comics to the screen..”, then Iron Fist shows up, but the narrator just continues “Yep, the very first time.” and then just adds “Lalalalalala, sorry, can’t hear you” at the mention of Iron Fist.

The narrator of the video used this as a good joke to say that no one really cares about Iron Fist, and it’s probably the best to forget that it ever existed. The show debuted on Netflix in March 2017, and it received negative reviews from critics. But regardless, its viewership was enough for Netflix to order a second season, which aired in September 2018. Iron Fist ended its airing with two seasons and 23 episodes in total. Today, the show holds a score of only 37% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 6.4 rating on IMDb. Critical consensus for the show is saying: “Despite some promising moments, Iron Fist is weighed down by an absence of momentum and originality.”

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was well-received by both fans and the audience, who praised the cinematography, visual effects, performances of Simu Liu as the titular hero and Tony Leung as Xu Wenwu aka the Mandarin. The movie was described as the fresh start of the MCU.

He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
