"Those that came before us..." refers to Shang Chi's family tree, not the Avengers, that is the deceptive message here. It leverages fan's loyalty to sell a non-established hero.
Plus, depending on your interpretation, it might sound like Shang Chi is a combination or is more powerful than its "predecessors": "made us who we are today"
The key with priming is that it occurs subtly, without the viewer suspecting its effect on later actions - serving the purpose of a deception, under fans' noses
