Uncertain grounds
Just finished it as well. This show has the ingredients to be good but it wasn't put together right. I binged it and it didn't seem tiresome but it was lacking in a bunch of areas. How Harold could just come back publicly without any hiccup didn't make sense to me. IF was getting roughed up a bit too much but i guess they tried to cover that with him saying his training was incomplete. Bakuto disappearing was odd and stupid. I liked Harold as a character. Colleen was good eye candy but was kinda corny. Idk. I think the second season would be better but they need a staff shakeup. Needs a different chef. 6.5/10 which may be generous

shows getting unnecessary hate. It better than JJ and tied with Luke Cage imo..
fukk no. Your taste is kinda shytty breh
JJ had a VERY compelling villain. Luke Cage was slow at parts but much better than this shyt.

This show was only OK...not really great. It had a few plot holes..and the main actor is scrawny as shyt.

Just finished.

Ward was great.

Danny/Joy were very on/off but I blame bad writing more than bad acting. They didn't really give Danny much except act like a bytch for most of the time. And Joy was just all over the place.

Faramir/Harold was cool, GAO was cool. Bakuto was ok.

Definitely the weakest of the bunch but I still enjoyed it :yeshrug:

Colleen :shaq:

6 Episodes in and I must say how does a show based on Iron fist have such horrible fight scenes. For a man who was trained by monks over the last 17 years he lacks serious fighting skills and is nearly bested in most of his encounters. Iron fist was stuck in a mental hospital :comeon:, he couldn't handle triads:comeon: some random dude in the back of a truck :comeon:.

Lets not even talk about the story line.

I don't know if I am going to finish this one I tried to give it a chance

It's wild to me how hard some people cape for this show. I saw one chick try to argue that the fight scenes shouldn't be compared to the "hyper-masculine" fights in Daredevil, because Danny is supposed to move like a ballet dancer :mjlol:

It's not AS bad as some critics have made it out to be, but it's far below the other Netflix shows. In fact so much of Iron Fist seems to be lifted from the previous Netflix shows. You got a bit of the gentrification story from season 1 of Daredevil, the cycle of abuse and PTSD stuff from Jessica Jones, the reluctant hero grappling with their past thing from Luke Cage.

They even tried to use music the way they did in Luke Cage, but they failed completely at it. In Luke Cage the music helps drives the narrative of the story. In Iron Fist they just picked random ass songs from the early 2000's to play in the background during random scenes.

Whoever wrote the scripts for this show should have their ass beat for all the dumb ass plot holes.

Ward runs a multi billion dollar company with a pharmaceutical division but can't get access to drugs without breaking his own hand?

Danny somehow became the Iron Fist but stays getting his ass kicked by random goons?

Danny and Collen constantly going back to Collen's place even though the hand has broken in multiple times and Danny has access to a penthouse suite in Manhattan?

What happend to the sub plots about the chemical plant poisoning people and The bum that was helping Danny dying of heroin OD?

Why the fukk was Collen struggling to make ends meet when she was working for the hand and clearly had access to their resources?

I can't believe they let the guy who was the showrunner for this shyt show also do the inhumans mini series.
