I'm working on my analysis of Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings and an interesting aspect of the film is that the film embodies the two most significant Chinese film subgenres and that's Wuxia and Xianxia.

With Shang Chi being an avatar of the Wuxia subgenre and WenWu being an avatar of Xianxia.

The Wuxia genre is defined by mythic martial artist who cultivate Kung Fu skills to serve their own sense of justice and altruism, while Xian Xia focuses on magical and immortal martial artist.

Shang Chi is a clear representation of Wuxia, he is an idealistic martial arts hero and WenWu represents Xianxia, he is a character who is immortal and empowered through Chinese mysticism and magic.

Video essay coming 2026

Yo you know who it is...it's the one and only Cytonius from OMNI-FRAME...and I'm here with a channel update.

With 2025 coming to an end I just want to say thank you to all of the people who support this brand. This year I feel like I produced some of my best written video essays and mini documentaries.

Videos from my channel like "Race, Rebirth and Representation - The Power of a Black Captain American were used in college courses related to Afrofuturism and Black media studies...which is cool and my mini documentary of the deceased 90s teen martial arts actor Ted Jan Roberts was seen and complimented by some of his old co stars like Art Camacho who TJ worked with on films like "Tiger Heart".

Other videos I released this year like "The complicated racial legacy of Rocky" and "Is Harley Quinn a feminist Icon" are essays I'm proud of as well.

So for the year of 2026 I do have videos that are in some stage of development and production such as "The Rise and Fall of Wizard Magazine", "Shang Chi and the Legend of Asian representation", "Is Magneto Right?" and "Dragon Ball Z and Hypermasculinity pt. II" which I plan to release early in the new year.

In regards to other aspects of the OMNI-FRAME channel such as the podcast and interview segment known as the OMNICAST...that segment is on indefinite hiatus...for several reasons. Mainly because as a smaller brand it was very difficult to book interviews on a consistent basis. Also scheduling time to record interviews was another challenge, unfortunately I am not able to work on the channel full time and booking and scheduling interviews is such a complicated process and also those interviews as much as I loved interviewing guest didn't bring in many views and subscribers.

When and if OMNI FRAME becomes a bigger brand I'll bring that segment back...but for now it's temporarily cancelled.

As far as this page, I'll be going back to weekly posts here, things like written essays and Thursday Trivia will be coming back also martial arts month and HIP HOP month will be coming back.

Ummmm that's all I got...
