![]() Ta Lo seems like the sort of place you'd find in a fantasy novel. It's also home to any number of magical creatures, from dragons to nine tailed foxes. Ta Lo is home to humans-or at least human-looking people-who are aware of, but cut off from, the happenings of the "regular" world. Most important of the bunch is the existence of Ta Lo, a mystical realm where Shang-Chi and Xialing's mother came from, separated from the real world by a supernaturally shifting bamboo maze. There are definitely big things on the horizon, even if that horizon is vaguely defined.īut as things stand right now, we have Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which, while avoiding any direct nods to the Disney+ TV show roster, introduces a handful of new concepts to the MCU that may or may not become very important in the future-and may or may not tie into some concepts we're just beginning to learn. And then there are characters like Wanda who were recently revealed to have extremely potent chaos magic powers. ![]() We've already got some hints of what might be on the horizon with the new Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, which teased a Doctor Strange spell going awry and causing all sorts of reality warping. Of course, there are a lot of extremely comic book semantics at play here and the answers, if they come at all, are likely going to be doled out in pieces. For instance, is the multiverse retroactive? Is the flow of time strictly linear or was that also messed up in the chaos of the branching timelines? What exactly constitutes an alternate reality and how do you differentiate them from something like the Quantum Realm or an alternate dimension? Of course, given the entirely esoteric nature of time and the universe within Marvel in general, it's extremely difficult to pin down exactly what this means and how it affects things moving forward. For one, there's officially an active multiverse now, thanks to Loki and Sylvie taking out He Who Remains over on Disney+. ![]() With Phase 4 officially kicking off, the MCU is looking a little different.
