#AntMan3 #Marvel #ShangChi
But after quantumania revealed the function of Kang’s rings, we got to revisit the connection between these rings and the 10 rings.
And how the rings also connect to Ms Marvel’s bangle.
All of these circular artifacts have a huge role in multiverse saga, and we think we know how it all connects.
Alright, let’s start by explaining the similarities between Kang’s rings and the 10 rings.
Kang’s chair is a multiversal ship, with it he can travel anywhere in space and time. Meaning multiversal travel and time travel.
The machine is powered by a multiversal engine core.
It’s this little orange orb, it’s surrounded by interlocking rings.
The core is the main power source of Kang’s machine. And it looks like it’s powered by quantum energy.
Kang’s chair is also surrounded by rings, which are bigger and glow with white light.
Finally, there are giant rings carved into the big structure in Kang’s quantum city.
The entire structure seems to be a bigger version of the chair.
And those giant rings look like the 10 rings. They glow with similar blue energy when Wenwu wore the rings.
Blue is also the color of Kang’s energy, armor and weapons.
Without the core, he’s powerless.
Meaning Kang weaponized the multiversal core, and he’s drawing energy from the core itself.
Same as when Wenwu gained energy from the 10 rings.
Now the rings' energy changes to orange when Shang-Chi wears them.
This orange energy is also inside the engine core.
When Scott goes inside the core, there's another ringed sphere that glows with orange energy.
And when Scott is there he begins splitting into countless versions of himself because the core creates a probability storm. This is because the core gives off multiversal energy.
This sphere looks exactly like the 10 rings when Shang air-bends them into a sphere shape.
Doug: So the 10 rings and Kang’s rings are the same?
Well, that is unclear.
But it’s more than just visual resembles, Kang’s rings function very much like the 10 rings.
Kang is represented by circles in the movie, which connects to the circular nature of time.
Even the structure of his quantum city looks like it’s based on the 10 rings.
It’s possible that the 10 rings are a slightly different variation of Kang’s rings from another universe.
The multiverse is filled with Kang variants, and each one of them looks slightly different from the other.
They are all multiversal travelers so it’s likely they all possess their own ringed machines.
So the 10 rings could have belonged to a different Kang variant who left them on Earth a long time ago.
The simplest explanation is that a Kang variant traveled to Earth 616 at some point in the past, he died and eventually Wenwu found the rings.
Wong, Carol and Bruce, determined that the rings are very old. Yet for somehow neither of them has ever seen or heard about these rings.
This could be because the rings are not relics from the ancient past, they are from the far far future.
The Kang variants are from the 31st century, so their tech is so advanced that it looks like magic to the ancient people of the 21st century.
Also, Wong explained that after Shang activated the rings, they sent a beacon.
The rings might be sending a message to other Kang variants, like the council of Kangs.
And that beacon inside the rings looks a lot like the inside of the multiversal core.
On top of that, when Wong analyses one of the rings, it separates into multiple layers of rings.
And that’s just like the many layers of Kang’s rings.
But we think there’s more to the rings, a lot more.
The origin of the 10 rings was never fully explained.
According to legends, Wenwu found the rings in a crater or stole them from a tomb.
Wenwu wore the rings for a thousand years, they granted him great power and made him immortal. Something similar is happening with Kang’s blue energy.
More importantly, the rings have only been activated after Shang used them.
When that happened, the blue energy of the rings turned orange.

What do you think of our theory?
😁
Yes 👍...it makes sense
I really don't know what to think anymore 🤯
It makes since that during the multiversel war that kang's weapons got shot or dropped through space and time, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if most ancient weapons throughout history belonged to kang and the varients.
Kang’s chair is still in the QR?…
I think we are watching Kang's story in reverse, ala' Memento style story telling. First we see his death, now we are seeing how "The Conqueror" is becoming "He Who Remains" and it will continue through his various iterations back to the beginning of his story as Nathan.
that's f-in' awesome
I'm my opinion I don't think Kang died in Ant Man. He just got sucked into the probability storm. Remember how Marvel goes, " If you don't see a body..they're probably not dead". I.E. : Scarlet Witch in MoM.!
Best theory I've heard
Talk about anti-climax
Maybe he’s fulfilling a purpose
There’s a line in the movie where kang says “protect the rings” talking about his new time ship but that’s the only mention of rings
There's a scene on the movie where kang surrounds himself with the energy of the blast that one of the living things on the quantum realm shoots at him in a very Shang chi way, he even creates this flow figure as shang creates with the rings whenever is about to attack
Néstor Martínez YES! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed this!! Literally as soon as I watched that move it screamed Shang Chi using the rings
Finally someone noticed
YES! and if i remember correctly the energy was yellow and when he rerouted it changed to blue
@@miatulloch3303 yesss that's the one!
Yes, the "battery head" guy shoots this gold beam of energy at Kang, he controls if just like Shang Chi's mother caught the rings, the difference while she changed the rings from blue to gold, Kang changed their color from gold to blue.
I also have a theory... Kang mentions he was looking to reach Eternity. That's specific wording which has to tie to Love and Thunder. Because Love gets Eternity eyes when she's reborn, I think there's some Eternity in her. So that's how they're gonna tie that whole story in with Kang.
🤔 hadn't thought of that but could be !
Since the Shang Chi sequel will reportedly be entitled "Shang Chi and the Wreckage of Time", I support this theory. Some Marvel Studios executive producers and screenwriters already said that Kang will be in some part of every up incoming project in some manner, so it's not unreasonable to assume that at least a version of him will appear in The Wreckage of Time which is supposed to come out before The Kang Dynasty (reportedly). I still think that the Fantastic Four will be the real key to restarting the multiverse at the end of Secret Wars after Franklin Richards (Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer) summons Galactus to eat the dying multiverse, but this theory works also.
I Agree FF is itegral to Kang's Defeat or lack thereof. I have a theory There will be alot more dramatic tension between the avengers and FF when they find out that the leader of FF is the ancestor to the dude who's whopping all they asses. That could be the point of the second civil war, whether or not it is ok to kill Reed Richards to prevent Kang but the Ace up Kangs sleeve is the knowledge of the coming of Galactus and the fact that ONLY Reed Richards can develop the tech needed to defeat Galactus (The Ultimate Nullifier) So if they defeat Kang they seal their fate with galactus. I think it would solve the MCU's villain problem and we can still have variants of Kang keep popping up in the MCU even after this saga is over.
Guaranteed that title, IF correct, will change before it is released. Hell, so will the story. Lol
@@usakrana8871 might be a plot point for Secret Wars Battleworld. And a Kang Variant will be in Shang Chi 2
Except they already told us the rings are older than mankind. Highly doubt he created them.
@@usakrana8871 so the Quantumania kang is like an anti-hero?
My Favorite part of the movie was when Kang said "Its Kanging time" and then he Kanged all over Antman like a KangBang.
He Kanged Hard in the End.
Literally lol’d
And then a Variant of Kang played by The Rock emerged and started working out while shouting about "Kangin' and Bangin'" all while CM Punk looks on disinterested.
@@DeadmanInc336 🤣
@@PresidentProductions 🤣
The "probability storm" that's generated is totally how we're going to get multiple Shang-Chi's fighting multiple Kang variants at the same time.
oh shit... i was thinking about Shang-Chi teaching spiderman some art forms but i didn't even think about him pulling off his multiplicity. dope.
I wanna see Shang and MCU 616 proper iron fist in a scene together soon
So they will fight in another Kang energy source that has grown in size (like the movie)?
Interesting, because in the comics Shang has been able to use that duplication power.
@@notmephisto1375 Exactly, my theory is that the rings are able to harness the probability storm allowing Shang-Chi to create multiple versions of himself, like he can in the comics.
If that was Kangs dead arm they found the Bengle on then the arm wouldn't be blue it would be the color of Nathaniel Richards skin. Only his armor when activated makes his face blue. I'm under the impression that was a Kree arm.
Agreed! When he said that the hand maybe Kang's, that part confused me!
Ramu tut is missing both of his arms 🤯
@@2GUHitSquadacts, he looks like he's been prosthetically modified
You could make the argument that the tech is so advanced it was biologically bind to him
There are a crazy number of Kangs and within the army of kangs the was 1 in this clip that look naturally blue.
If you look at Kangs forarms when he uses the powers of his suit there are 5 rings on each forarm. Just wanted to add on more confirmation of your theory
I noticed when Kang redirected the energy blast from the laser headed creature, it looked similar to when Shang Chi did the same to his father. Also the arm being found could be why Rama Tut has no arms currently. He had his arms sliced off and drama ensues.
I think that's a fairly solid theory.
After all, both relics do show a mastery over time, the Ten Rings stopping time for its user, rending him immortal, and Kamala's Bangle being able to send her back in time, although linearly back in a loop and not on another branching timeline. We also know that Shang Chi's 2nd movie is already titled the wreckage of Time, and Kang being the emperor of time, it all checks out.
Kamala might also be immortal or have longetivity
@Souven Tudu kamala bangle is quantum bands
ok, so hear me out. What if Kang "The Conqueror" from Quantomania was just destroying universes that had started incursions, and he was doing this sort of how "He Who Remains" pruned all alternate timelines, except Kang the Conqueror did it more viscously so the counsel of Kangs exiled him. What if The Conqueror was trying to prevent what he who remains will eventually do, because if you watch in Quantomania when Kang is explaining to Janet what happens and shows her the multiverse projections, he holds up in his hand the Sacred time line and says, "I know how it ends" meaning that he knows what he who remains is going to do, which is destroy all other time lines except the sacred time line, and what if the Conqueror is only trying to prevent that from happening, and none of the other Kangs see what he's talking about.
What if quantumania kang is he who remains? He who remains did say he was called conqueror before
Hear me out... what if you got a job and moved out from your mom's basement.
That was because he’s a variant of Kang and was the conqueror before he became He who remains they all just end up back in the in the same spot in time and be he who remains again
You right, this is definitely starting to feel like Destiny War.
@@y.s.o8757 yes but one of these kangs WILL become he who remains. It's a looped timeline
You know, since Shang Chi gains the power to create doubles of himself in the comics, he may gain the power to generate and manipulate a probability storm that the Ten Rings can create to allow him to create variants of himself that can aid him in battle in Kang Dynasty.
That's KageBunshin no jutsu
That’s genius
On some shadow clone jutsu shit 😮😂
Yoooooo
I love the idea that Kang uses the rings to control time and the universe, meanwhile the primitive avengers can only use them as weapons.
I have two theories a wanna share with you.
1. I think the way to defeat Kang is by having a "Sacred Timeline" that only focus on getting rid of all Kang variants instead of keeping just one alive. He Who Remains said it himself, the TVA works. He himself was getting rid of the other variants that way and seems to be the plan of the Kang variant we saw in Quantumania. We just need our heroes to figure that out. Everyone has a bit of the puzzle. They just don't know it yet.
2. I think the 10 rings and the bracers are actually Kang's armor left in the main 616 universe and the signal the rings are sending is actually the same that Cassie was sending in Quantumania. Now, IF that Kang variant really did survive at the end of the movie, it means that he is in a Schrodinger's box which means that every possibility of that Kang variant exists. Which also means there is one who gets out. Then he'll just pick up the signal, get his armor back and wreck the house.
GENIUS, CALL FEIGE!
i also think reed will be a key figure in helping the heroes and us (the audience) understand your first theory.
And that kang will become the beyonder
Having Kang get trapped in a probability storm that forces him to make peace with himself and find a way to return as this universes version of He Who Remains would be very on brand for Disney/Marvel
I noticed how you mentioned the spinning of his chair and rings to move through time. Maybe this is due to the rings( and how time is a "circle) constantly passing each other which creates jump points to move about as each ring is partitions of the timeline. I wonder if this means Shang-Chi may also have the ability with ten rings, and this is why the rumored title for his sequel deals with time as well.
I believe most things in phase 4 that have to deal with “magic” and items is all going to connect to Kang Dynasty
Magic is just science we can't explain 😳
Sometimes magic is just an explanation for plot holes.
*phase 5
What if "he who remains" is the one variant of Kang that doesn't want to conquer, but save everyone, which is why he set himself apart and earth 616. Then he used his ability to set things in motion eons before and that's why the TVA is important to make sure there is no chance that his universe incurs with other universes that would ultimately doom everyone.
that's what he tells 10 minutes to loki bro lol
@@proxjayant😭😭😭
No he's the most evil and also the good one
Bro , hwr already conquer the univers this is why he control the sacred timeline , he already finish his purpose , he is not good just better than his variant
It my mind, the rings, the bangle, and Wanda's powers are the things that scare Kang if his variants get to them. So he's been orchestrating making sure nobody touches any of those objects if their name is Nathaniel Richards. It would be interesting if Kang is also a reason why 616 hasn't had a Fantastic 4 up to this point in time, too, because Kang knows if they come in contact with any of the objects or Wanda, he's screwed.
Isn't Kang's sphere a 2D version of the window in the Sanctum Sanctorum?
You've transposed the 2d and sphere dimensions Should be the window int the sanctum is a 2D version of his sphere
If you rewatch the final trailer. The shot of all scot langs building that ant structure of himself to get closer to the ship battery, if you look closely, the shadow created from the energy source makes CLEARLY the shape of the sanctums window symbol. I've posted this on every trailer recap video I've found and never saw anyone mention it. It's clearly in the shot, but there's so much going on you miss it. I only saw it dead asleep watching in complete darkness. I was like, AYO?!?! NO ONE SAW THAT?! Go check it out. Kang also has a line in the movie that I am very certain was capitalized in the script. He mentions Erernity proceeded by an adjective. So I'm assuming he was talking about eternity itself. I think that destroyed statue in Eternities chamber place we saw in Love and Thunder is actually a statue of Kang.
@@anthonyzullo I sat there in cinema whispering to my friend: Was that the thing from the thing 😳🤯
Good job on spreading the notion 👍
@@anthonyzullo I wondered the same thing when he mentioned Eternity. He could easily mean all of time ofc but it might not be coincidental that we meet Eternity before Quantumania was released.
He who remains doesn't want to restart the cycle he wanted to break the cycle that's why he offered Sylvie the chair after passing the threshold. It could be that he sent that tech back in an attempt to unmoor the cycle of the multiverse
Honestly I get the impression that he who remains and the Kang from Antman are the same variant from different points of his life.
In Antman Kang says his variants are playing with time like children and he’s going to shut them out of time completely. In Loki he says he successfully ended the multiversal war and saved the universe from an infinite amount of himself.
He also says he discovered alioth and weaponized him. In the comics alioth is a creature cremated by energy from whenever time travel and dimension hopping happens. It’s possible that at the end of Antman Kang was sent to the domain of Alioth.
wait, deos that mean He who remains was the future of Kang from quantumania?!?!
@@meraki664 maybe
@@meraki664 I don't think he is. He who remains doesn't have a scar on his face.
@@zalstudio8227 oh i forgot abt that
@@zalstudio8227 sure he doesn’t have the scars, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t use his future tech to get rid of the scars.
My theory is Phase 5 and 6 is going to be awesome. Thankfully I possess the open mind and the curiosity to enjoy where the MCU story is going. Even more thankful for channels like these to help navigate that path with exposition
Hello Kevin Feige, nice feint lol
Phase 4 was so garbage
Current MCU is garbage.
@@pat_diesel moon knight was one of the highlights tho? Falcon and Eternals were bad
It’s like a new fad with teenagers to shit on marvel, and it carries on into adults who never grew up.
Could the Kang from AM3 actually be He Who Remains?? There is a slight pause when HWR explains his many names in Loki when he says "...conquerer" . When AM3 Kang hits the Quantum Core, it sends him to the end of time where he becomes HWR ?? Thoughts ?
i like it. why else would they include the loki S2 credit scene at the end of AM3? I think they're confirming Kang in Quantumania has a direct link to He Who Remains that we met in Loki. And that's why Quantumania and Loki are releasing in 2023, the first year of Phase 5.
Theory - when He Who Remains says - “Threshold” - I think that was exact moment when Sylvie stabbed HWR, Wanda becoming SW and Dr. Strange/Peter’s spell. It all happened at same or similar times.
I think its important to say that its not just that Kang is smart relative to us, but he is from the distant future and is a genius of that time
HELL YES
Nonone has yet mentioned Kang’s fighting style where he blows that robots head off using the same technique that Shang Chi uses to turn the blue rings to yellow.
The Ten Rings do seem neurokinetic, in that they do the will of the one wielding them. And the temporal energy would have been able to keep Wenwu alive for centuries.
I could see the Kang Dynasty be about stopping Kang getting his main weapons.
Kinda like how infinity war was about stopping Thanos from getting the infinity stones
@leonardotabora5413 Marval likes simple plot lines. And Kang just threating Earth 616 just for the heck of it is repedtivite. Unlike stoping him from getting his full arsenal. Since he will have to either kill or completely defeat Shang Chi, Miss. Marval and other tech we don't know about could be used by other heroes. It gives those weapons a human element.
so glad we're talking about this!
it would make sense to combine the rings and the bangle... Disney knows all 3 of these properties aren't their most popular... having them combine into a super important story moving forward would make sense (when reviewing from outside the MCU) and could have a nice re-watch novelty after the fact
that would be genius movie business skills to be honest. if your theory is correct, Mickey Mouse is a marketing genius and an unstoppable monopolist force lmao.
i totally agree, just measure the bangle, the 3 gaps, totally can fit the 10 rings. The assemble item probably below to Kang, and when he got beat, his wrist device probably split up and went to different part of earth. i think the plot now would be. once the council of kang arrive and attack. Avengers try to defeat the council by assembying the rings to the bangle. The assembly instead it brought bacK Kang who then defeat the council with the help of the new avengers. then they have a tense stand off as to what to do next.
If you look closely, it looks like Rama-Tut has robotic arms. The blue arm that had the bangle could have been Rama-Tut's severed arm
I'm still trying to figure out how Ant Man defeated Kang.
He didn't. He let Kang escape the QR.
That's the neat part, he didn't! Even in the epilog he's questioning himself
He wasn't defeated, it was just a temporary hiccup. He'll escape from that orb thing yet.
Pushed him into a multiversal engine core with help*
At the end, ant man seems to be in a time loop. He even passes the same couple twice within seconds of each other. Lots of green and purple in every scene. Somebody is playing with his mind.
Everyone talking about how his rings look like the Ten Rings, but not enough people talking about how his chair looks like a giant Eye of Agamoto, and he sits where the Time Stone would sit.
😯
Amazingly solid theory. I absolutely believe "the one who remains" planned somewhat of a contingency plan. He intentionally died in hopes of his future vision coming to fruition
Plus in the climax Kang said Dont Let Them Get To The Rings so they have to be connected to him
shang-chi meanwhile-dancing with wong
We all say stuff we don't mean during a climax
@@Blobby_Hill goated comment ♥️
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but kang wrist was sparking and looked like it was damaged before he got sucked in to the power source
Whaaaaaat oh shit
*I have a theory: the Bengals and the 10 rings are pinging to the Kang variant that created them. An example would be Pharaoh Rama Tut creating the 10 rings and leaving them for an avengers team to find, once found, he swoops in on the team takes them to battle world in which he will fight that avengers team that found the 10 rings against his Dark Avenger's team...all other Kang variants follow suit*
I think the rings are from Kang. And the beacon could be a call to come join the counsel.
Once I saw the Egyptian Kang had robot arms I did think it could have been his arm. But the color is wrong. But there was a blue Kang so maybe it’s a different Kang variant.
not sure if it’s mentioned but the fact that the ten rings give the user immortality and can live along LONG time and kang has immortality as does he who remains, a possible connection?
wow… this is actually the strongest connection made, I had heavy doubts until I read your comment
If everything you mentioned here fired indeed interconnect the plot of each upcoming project then I’m very excited for this next phase of mcu!!🤩
I like the distinction between "dimension" and "universe." Each universe in the multiverse could have many different dimensions attached. I always thought Asgard was in a different dimension, anyway. 🤔
I think MCU Asgard is just an alien planet, but Greek and Egyptian gods definitely live in different dimensions. They just MEET in Omnipotence City, but they don't LIVE there. They have multiple dimensions, like the Duat or the goddess Bast's Ancestral Plane, that's mentioned both in Black Panther and Moon Knight. We also saw Bast in Omnipotence City. Note that Greek and Egyptian gods are immortal beings billions of years old, while Asgardians have a lifespan of 5000 years and can actually die in battle. Asgardians are mortal aliens who somehow got godly powers, not "actual" gods. That's why they don't matter that much in Omnipotence City.
Man, you are blowing my mind with these Kang videos lately.
Fantastic one, this to me is much better than other theories. Simply because it's understandable for a non-comic fan. Someone who just enjoys the movies.
I was confused a little in antman. It made kang to be a mega bad guy but then implied he was working to stop the other kangs from fighting. But then the end credit scene implied he was right, that the council of Kangs were the real threat.
Quantum kang obviously was evil in crushing the quantum inhabitants but maybe he was misunderstood?
P
U
Great video! While watching it and thinking that the Bengal has time traveling powers I started to wonder if the Bengal sent Kamala forward in time so far that she traveled past a restart of the sacred timeline and all the way to 1947 of a restarted timeline ( sort of as if she completed one big lap of a sacred timeline circle) This would explain how she arrived to help her grandma while not remembering or knowing she was the one who guided her back to her family. It may also help explain how her time travel didn’t create a branching reality, thank you for the content that is created at screencrush.
The World engine orb is the soul of the celestials. Go back to Loki last episode look at all the models and you'll see when he shows how two variance were making a world engine, you'll see a globe of the world where India is scooped out
So basically these two variants figured out that if you use the heart or the soul of celestials you can travel through the multiverse. It's right there plain as day when he's explaining it to Sylvie and Loki.
And isn't it weird that the world engine orb and housing looks like the baby gamora in the gondola scene of Infinity War where it reflected in the pool. So basically there's a soul in the center of the machine and it's the celestials.
Good stuff
My question to that whole scene at the end of Loki with "He Who Remains" is, What causes the threshold and the timelines to split. It couldn't really have been Silvy killing "He Who Remains", since he mentions the threshold BEFORE she stabs him.
The passing of the threshold is related to Wanda's last spell in WandaWision and Dr Strange's spell in No Way Home. They all sync perfectly.
@@DanieleFisichella But that's just one theory. The scene from No Way Home when Dr. Strange's spell gets messed up by Peter has also been talked about being a reason for it... So, at this point, it could really be anything.
These rings are all totally related. It’s also why Kang needed to get out to enhance his powers. I think we will learn as we go along phase 5, the rings are way more powerful outside of the Realm. Even though, they’re still strong in the Realm.
I believe each phase 4 show is individually set in different multiverses, and they will all join forces to fight Kang in secret wars. It will explain why celestials exist in one place and not another.
The fracture and splitting of multiverses began only after Loki went to the TVA, and hence their histories are all very similar, and only their branches differ.
This is the only explanation why we didn't see all the heroes during endgame.
I've been saying this.
Kang clearly says "don't let Atman touch the rings"
The Rings are the second bangle, split into pieces, so 1) not to alert Kang of the location of his missing weapons, and 2) so their full, quantum, old-timey-wimey powers can't be used, because no one knows how to put it back together.
I think the blue hand is kree. Kang's skin isn't blue, just the glass interface over his face
Nicely done (especially well-done considering you didn't try to shoehorn in either a "WHAT?!" or a "...somehow Palpatine returned"). I could definitely see them as being Kangtech left by HeWhoRemains along the road he paved.
Though I could imagine that any Kang who managed to get his hands on them would be able to do much, much more with them. The bangle allowing the user to go back and observe a moment in time without interfering would be very useful in managing the flow of time and creating a record of everything said and done (like HeWhoRemains using a bangle or bangle-like device to observe and re-observe events in time over and over to create the recorded script of how his meeting with Loki & Sylvie would go). It could also allow someone to observe the results of countless choices and probabilities.
HeWhoRemains says he's "lived a million lifetimes." Kangtech like the bangles and the ten rings could have allowed him to do that: to live/observe and relive/re-observe moments along the road to know which choices resulted in the outcomes he wanted in order to properly "pave the road."
Post credit scene, Kang (Rama-Tut) has a mechanical looking arm. Would this not have been his arm found with the bangle? Also the photo from the comics of Rama-Tut used in this video seems to show brackets or bangle. Little details everywhere!
This theory tracks very well! Too many aesthetic coincidences on a large scale for it to be minor.. I don't think individually Shang-Chi and Kamala are "saviors" but definitely integral components to the multi-verse.
Wow,
Really amazing theory and prediction, good job
what i was thinking is that shang chi rings was sending message was actually from kang himself because he was sucked into ,and he is not dead yet (maybe) but the shang chi post credit scene might have happened after antman quantum mania
Plus, Scott Lang and Shang Chi are both from San Francisco. That beacon could be the message that the three superior Kang's sent to other Kang's and while they were doing that the beacon caught that signal. Or, that beacon could be the signal Cassie sent to the Quantum realm and the beacon just happened to be an earthly reflection or representation of it.
Then that would mean that am3 and Shang chi take place at the same time
@@Bruce-my7wk idk maybe antman3 happened during all phase 4 event (i think they've been in quantum realm for a long time and they didnt realize it)
Interesting
I think your theory is great!! I've been wondering if there is going to be an upcoming conflict between Kang/Celestials
The moment he made that movement to warp and return xolem's beam I realized how similar it was to shang's movement when taking the rings
Maybe the rings could emit cosmic microwave background radiation (like what was found in WandaVision) and are actually very ancient. Perhaps Kang traveled back through time and discovered them in the past.
I feel like Shang chi will play a major role in kang dynasty
Literally your best theory yet! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I hope they make this clearer in the future so it can make sense all these circles! And maybe add a few more rings so it’s not just 2!
Perhaps the Ten Rings are the other Bangle just separated into separate pieces.
I know Ryan you have said it and Kevin @HeavySpoilers has said it I believe - but this all seems to be leading up to Kang going to the Beyondverse where he will become The Beyonder and maybe he will become He Who Remains and loop back into everything dealing with the Loki series.
I’m always excited for new videos about MCU from SC
I think The Ancient One, Wenwu, and Aisha are somehow directly related to Kang. The Sanctum Sanctorum's origin was quite the same as that in the Quantum Kingdom of Kang, as well as the Case of the Eye of Agamotto and how it holds the time stone kinda relates to it. Wenwu's rings have already been explained as well as Aisha's bangles. I think the ten rings' extreme capabilities have not yet been discovered. BUT, the thing that makes it all connect is not just that they are all dead, but that they have lived FOR A LONG TIME, that probably they may have met Kang in a moment or worst case, probably knew each other. But Marvel has not yet explained the connection of their movies: Shang Chi, Doctor Strange, as well as the Marvels or Ms. Marvel in particular. Any thoughts?
Interesting theory. Especially when The Ancient One is the person who describes timeline branches to Bruce.
It’s just so cool to think that the MCU is on a time-loop (if they continue to stay true to the comics).
Not the Captain Planet shoutout lol! Love these connections!
If any artifacts could be sent from one timeline to another, wouldn't it be 'infinity' stones? What makes the rings/bangle that powerful?
Unlike the gauntlet maybe the rings can be used in any universe.
The Infinity gauntlet and the Stones can only be used in the universe it came from.
That's my guess
plot rings trump anything
@@cruzinthruspace this would make sense if these devices are powered by quantum energy as it seems the quantum realm in the MCU appears foundational to the multiverse where as the infinity stones are formed within the individual universes.
Some people have been claiming there's been no set up for the next avengers. But as you've just shown us, every movie and show has gave us nuggets towards it and its all starting to come together. Marvels too good. Dc could only dream of having such a intertwined cohesive universe
Yup they build up great stories even on not so well received films that’s still pretty decent fun movies.
@@Davefromdabend5 exactly. I personally love everything except she hulk and love and thunder and even they did things like Introduce daredevil
Love these videos helping explain stuff about this multiverse/timeline travel. Me not too smart. Me preferred simpler story like Infinity Saga. But with the help of these videos, me understand better now. Thanks. 😁
Connections are undeniable. Phase 4 was a really good setup phase for 5 and 6 and everything we'll see in the future. Even standalone series such as Moon Knight and Knoshu will make sense when we see them in the Kang Dynasty. Anyways, If we collect all those breadcrumbs piece by piece from movies and series, we might have seen the Skrull version of Kang (from the council of Kangs). He probably came to Earth thousands of years ago and started a cult around him (as much as always he does, like Rama-tut did in ancient Egypt or the Conqurer did in Quantum Realm). So, the people who obeyed this Skrull Kang named the cult "Ten Rings" which was perfect sense because people knew those rings were powerful objects. Then Someone or something attacked the cult and killed everyone with Kang and the cult has been forgotten for a long time until Shang Chi's father Wenvu found the ten rings and saw the flag. Started his own cult. And Clandestines found the bangle then realized that they were able to travel outside their dimensions to another one and vice versa.
Ummm, the bengals don’t create Kamala’s powers. She’s a mutant, the bengals just activated her own powers. Also, Kang’s not blue in the MCU… his blue is associated with his tech/armor. It’s gotta be a Cree hand. Maybe both artifacts have to do with Kang, but these points are just incorrect 😞
Garrett Limon Kang wasn’t even blue in the comics either lol. It’s ALWAYS just been his face shield that makes him look blue. Idk what he was talking about there lol
@@rileyribble6733 I think the most disappointing part is that Ryan knows these things as he’s acknowledged them in past videos, so why he’s stating incorrect points to justify his theory that’s otherwise definitely possible is strange
These artifacts are from collectors collection he who remain planted them
Love the channel and theories
I thought that the citadel and the surrounding outposts looking like the 10 rings logo is interesting. I always thought the 10 rings would have been the rings that were on the black mall when he died in outer space
Great work 👏👏
I greatly enjoy your videos and your editing skills
You forgot the Emperor cutscene. “Somehow he survived” in your Kang’s return theory.
The little ball looked like the Sanctum Santorum window.
When the rings were overlapping.
Same how they look like Miss Minutes for a split second as well.
Been waiting for this vid 😩
You are so on point with this Theory. Next to Erik Voss you are my Theory hero
That beacon from the ten rings is the call from the council of kangs to all kangs
My theory is that the Kang that we saw on Quantumania (if his motivation is to create the sacred timeline) will be revealed as He Who Remains after Secret Wars. Since the MCU is on a time loop, then most probably some Kang that we saw on the movie would end up being the one on the citadel.
I think Shang Chi’s post credit scene links to Qauntamania’s post credit scene…
There was a beacon call for the rings… and immortus called for all Kangs across the multiverse to come in to the council meeting… 🤷🏽♂️
I also thought it was interesting that the "time space gps" that Tony created were circular bracelet. May be reaching but it just feels right lol
Now THATS! NEW MATH!
Well Done 😉
Very well-defined. Good theory.
Well... i wanna rewatch Shang-Chi now. It's criminally underrated.
“Heeeere’s Kangy” was the best line in the movie
Honestly when I saw how the movie ended with Ant-Man in Kang my first thought when he got sucked into the portal and the explosion and whatnot was how it resembled almost exactly how Darren cross "died" in the first Ant-Man, when every found out in this movie Donnelly did not die he was just sent to the quantum realm which again has always been explained as its own individual round outside of time and space below the existing Realms in multiverses. So I immediately said to my wife as we're walking out of the movie is that is how the Dynasty and Secret Wars is going to start because not only did that not kill Kang, all it did was , along with his some of his tech, sent him " down" to and ultimately created a brand new realm basically like the Quantum realm but somehow, and possibly because of the earth Portal being open or having the coordinates to earth 616 saved from Cassie's machine he's been able to connect to and influence how that Multiverse AND timeline has been progressing and also having seen first-hand what Ant-Man as well as this version of The Avengers had done knew they would be his best shot and also a great way to distract the council of kangs, and then also because America Ferrera is the only person in the Multiverse as explained in the last Doctor Strange movie that can travel between the multiverses without causing incursions because she is the only version of yourself there are no other versions of her that exist also why she can't have dreams. So instead of pruning all the timelines like he's been doing, more efficiently by also using the avengers as his "weapons" to destroy the council of Kangs, then once they are all destroyed he could then freely without causing any incursions travel between and CONQUER every remaining timline or just create his one true timeline.
I think the core taps and draws power directly from the quantum realm. A more efficient version of Luis' van. The core's also connected to Kang's mind and thoughts so he may be able to travel where ever he imagines. The 10 rings in his possession are probably far more than we know now. Another built in fail safe is they prolong the life of the person that has them. They may also seem older because they were made outside of time and space. Being from beyond, they and the wearer are not affected by time and space. Maybe they allow for direct manipulation of time and space when also linked to the chair and orb. In all his travels and conquering there's probably no doubt Kang came across an Eternal or Celestial yet to be birthed and studied their tech. What it's made from and what powers it.
I'm really curious the amount of times you've used that Thor magic science clip. It's a pivotal moment in the MCU for sure
Great presentation and awards. Glad Rings of Power won!
Now I really want to see the combined power of the rings and bangle
That's how you know Kang liked it.
Rings on everything.
