[Bone Bender]

Couldnt even finish it.

Why does an older mentorish Black man have to die in all these shows?

They were the sacrifices demanded in exchange for Black Panther

This mu fukka.

I've been vocal on how I feel about TFR's reviews and how I don't care for them the majority of the time. This show is one where I can agree with the majority.

This show is a recycle of Arrow season 1 with a slightly rehashed story involving the Hand with a mediocre main character who has shytty fighting skills portrayed as godly.

There's nothing interesting about this show.

Go mingle with your fellow stan boys.

It's also a much much worse rehash of Luke Cage storybeats. Right up to the episode 7

Spoiler

"Death" of a major antagonist

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

money got $25 mill in the bank

I barely got a grand rright now

This is like if Batman Begins was purely about Bruce tangling with Rutger Hauer for control of the company and when he wasn't, just speaking to Alfred about being batman rather than actually being batman

I'm 3 episodes in and this is hot gahbage so far. This cat Danny is supposed to be the good guy but he's a complete idiot. He's not smart, not slick, not savvy, not funny, not anything. He's a completely boring character that doesn't really seem to have any qualities other than being mad naive. Plus the 'bad guy' is basically a spoiled rich kid businessman. And he's not at all interesting either

I actually like that character and his arc so far
I could forgive Danny being so boring if his fight scenes weren't pure cheeks. Current, way out of shape Steven Segal has faster fight scenes than this dude.

You stupid bytch how can I be a Stan just by saying some of you nikkas sheep? You stupid nikkas don't even make sense. Also stupid most shows are a recycle of another smfh.

Well if u ain't a stan then you just have shytty taste.

I know there's nothing new under the sun, but when you're taking from other superhero shows it's just poor story.

 

[MenacingMonk]

I'm only 7 eps down, but they should rename this Danny Rand instead of IF.

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

I just found out that Iron Fist show runner is the dude that the last two seasons of Dexter. pretty much explains the shytty pacing.

Never got into into Dexter but @Prodigal Syndicate called it specifically referencing that.

I'm on episode 10 now. I'll drop more detailed thoughts later but all I wanted to say is....

Spoiler

If you get a role as an older black man in one of these Marvel NETFLIX series then don't make plans to make it into Season 2.

Ben in DareDevil

Detective Clemons In Jessica Jones

'Pops' in Luke Cage

And now Wilkins in Iron Fist

After what happened to Eric la salle in Logan looks like it's a marvel entertainment trope, considering how popular the CB genre is what a dangerous precedent. Its like a repudiation of BLM

Finished it, I would put it on the same level as Jessica Jones. Gao, Harold and Ward Meachum were the best characters.

They need to cut down the episode runtime, They don't all have to be 50-55 minutes plus.

These Netflix shows being the "darker alternative" is now starting to hurt the main characters of these shows. They all just come across as mopey and whiny emos. They're too constrained which in turn makes them bland and boring. That's why the villains who are more charismatic and theatrical are better to watch. It's hurt Luke Cage and Danny Rand the most as they're meant to have personality instead here they just sulk and whine.

The darker tone is fine (if anything Iron fist felt light) the problem is the writing


Ps yeah each episode felt feature length in duration I was like is this shyt ever going to end? This slog feels around 90mins. Reminded me of the get down
