Shang-Chi should be introduced for the right reasons. Not because people need a token Asian character. But I remain optimistic that they can make it work.

This could actually work very well. If Iron Fist introduces Shang Chi and creates a spin-off, then that could introduce Shen Kuei with Fu Manchu as a potential villain.
I remember Black Panther had to rename him, because of rights issues. Could be Marvel simply didn't want to spring for a one off guest appearance..

"With its lead actor now cast, Marvel/Netflix's "Iron Fist" series is speeding towards its start date. Finn Jones will play martial arts master (and sometime Hero for Hire alongside Luke Cage) Danny Rand in the 13-episode series -- but once cameras start to roll on the show, Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb will have to make good on a very specific promise.
During a red carpet interview with Comic Book Resources at the premiere of "Daredevil" season two in New York City, Loeb revealed that "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." star Clark Gregg put in a request when it comes to the upcoming Netflix series.
"Before I get done, I have to make sure that Clark Gregg and Iron Fist get together," said Loeb. "I’m not saying Agent Coulson -- Clark Gregg has actually made me promise that he gets to meet Iron Fist. He’s a gigantic Iron Fist fan." While an on-screen crossover between ABC's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and Marvel's Netflix series has yet to happen, it does look like there could be one behind the scenes if Gregg gets his wish."
I'm all for the idea of some kind of Netflix series/AoS crossover idea. They don't need to be team-ups or anything, but it would be nice if there was some acknowledgment that SHIELD is aware of the street leveler people, like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist etc. emerging and being active. Maybe even monitoring some of their activities to see whether they could be recruited.

I enjoyed it as well. And so did most of the people I spoke to. Though, admittedly, I felt like the final villain was a bit underwhelming. Cottonmouth had far more screen presence and charisma than Diamondback did. I initially thought Mariah was crap but, thinking about it, I realised that I hated her because she was such a vile person. Which means the portrayal was actually good for a super unlikable villain (like certain truly hated GoT characters).

All of the Netflix series have been amazing, I honestly like them more than most of the films
