The Official Netflix Marvel's "Iron Fist" Thread

[Benjamin Sisko]

Third episode in...and this reminds me too much of Arrowverse

The rich evil dad reminds me too much of Malcolm Merlin

Pyschopathic son remind me too much of Merlin's son.

Pyschopath's sister reminds me too much of the DA who was the cop's daughter.

There was actually more suspense during the flashback scenes when Oli was at the island. Here not so much

I'm sick off all these white heir/billionaire superheroes...Iron Man, Batman, Arrow, and now IF WITH their rich, snobby friends, pct schools, and shyt. None of those guys even built their respective empire but they are always destined to run it , gtfoh who can relate?? Hell even DD OWNS his own practice, but Luke Cage is a bum who goes back to jail in the end

On episode 4.

I'm into it so far.

 

[Sypress]

You chatter like monkeys

 

[MenacingMonk]

Finishing up Badlands and about to start this. Kung fu goodness

Hopefully the show is solid. I've been interested in IF but never read much shyt from him; just a trade from a series of his over a decade ago.

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

About to jump in

No sticky has me concerned

Currently at ep6 right now all the ppl saying the critics are bugging need to put the pipe down. Marvel/Netflix shows have set a standard for themselves and thus far this show has fallen way below. Pacing, story, supporting characters all leave a lot to be desired.. y'all are even saying the "acting" is good, the lead isn't particularly strong, coleen is forgettable and the 2 soapsters characters are karen/foggy bad

 

[Roman Brady]

give it a chance

Lol that's what all the toms said after the election

Yep yep.


Episode 5-6 it picks up a bit, episode 6 is the best overall but 6 also makes it PAINFULLY obvious that Sir Laras is painfully outclassed in the fighting department.

I'm going to say this again, but this show would've benefited MASSIVELY from casting an Asian American actor in the lead.

I don't give a fukk if the source material is a Cac. Iron Fist debuted at a time when white people could get away with such gross cultural appropriation. These aren't those times anymore. It's 2017, and even CACS are tired of seeing themselves outright stealing the culture and heritage of other races (in the media. Real life is another story)

White bread Danny Rand coming back to reclaim his father's company isn't exciting. There's literally NOTHING fresh about it. It's been done to death by better writer/directors a thousand times over. Arrow pretty much mastered it. There's no new ground, and the way in which the showrunners are going about it is ham fisted as all hell.

Sir Laras doesn't look like he can kick ANYONE'S ass, so him

Spoiler

Kicking the ass of THREE straight Asian characters in EP 6, who are supposedly masters, is fukking insulting. The great all powerful white man ALWAYS finds a way to be the best. fukk outta here

Claire Temple brings some MUCH needed humor and familiarity to the proceedings whenever she's onscreen. Colleen feels like their holding her back, she's more natural at it than the damn hero of the story. The Brother keeps getting progressively more annoying (your dad comes back to life from cancer but you can't believe the shyt Danny is saying?) and the sister is just kind of there to look either highly annoyed or completely shocked.


I will say the soundtrack is good. Cinematography is too notch, and The Hand storyline remains compelling. The evil dad is played well by the actor, I wish he was given more screen time over then brother/sister duo. Claire is a highlight.

On episode 2. Nothing better happen to my bae Joy or else

 

[kash10003]

Spoiler

you knew that fakkit Kyle was gone die

 

[TheLostOnes]

Just finished watching and.....it's solid. I will say that some of the actors were alittle dry on their acting (most obvious one of this is Ward) but I still enjoyed it all the way through. For me, I put it above Jessica Jones

Spoiler

fukk the cliffhanger ending for the first season

 

[Brandeezy]

Claire fighting the Hand is straight LaureL taking on the League Of Shadows status after training in Wildcat's gym

 

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

Damn no sticky

brehs barely even posting in here compared to the other marvel netflix threads

DIdn't even know it was out today. Same time, my anticipation for it was/is quite low.

 

[Ironman]

Lol that's what all the toms said after the election

If he doesn't like it he doesn't I'm mot interfering in anyone's viewing experience. Myself personally, the Hand storyline is much needed as this season has been slow as hell. On episode 6 this feels more like I was hoping for.

 

[Roman Brady]

I just realized the guy playing Lawrence is reverend reuben gregory from 'Amen' surprised he's still alive


Ps oh snap Ramon Rodriguez is in this, fukin hate that actor
