>Critics praise everything Marvel unequivocally despite very identifiable flaws. >Suddenly a Marvel show comes along that isn't painfully PC and doesn't kowtow to the demands of the so-called "fans" and make drastic changes to the source material. Conveniently, the critics start coming up with other reasons to hate it like calling it slow or calling the action bad even though the real reason they're mad is because it's a white guy doing kung fu.
Really raises some eyebrows.
And so does the fact that they claim to be fans but are demanding drastic changes to the source material. You can tell these critics are people who don't even read comics and just follow Marvel movies because it's "hip." I also question why Marvel has been impervious to criticism until now while DC hasn't, but that's a whole other can of worms.
why is he called iron fist if his fist just starts glowing and doesn't turn into iron?
Aiden Moore
>and make drastic changes to the source material.
For the worse.

Charles Parker
It IS slow and the action IS bad though.
Blake Collins
That writing is pretty cool.
Really says a lot that people focus on the "white savior" stuff and not the cool writing.
Lucas Moore
>haven't seen any criticism of the show for not being PC enough because I don't frequent clickbait sources >Sup Forums somehow manages to propagate their viewpoint anyway by constantly complaining about their complaining Am I being viral tricked or are you lot just dumb?
Gavin Turner
It doesn't matter whether it is or not. The point is that they wouldn't be saying that if they had cast an Asian guy as Danny, even if it were otherwise the exact same show. They are pointing out the flaws solely because he is white. That's the kind of people they are.
Kayden Phillips
A lot of the early Iron Fist run is pretty good, especially the Claremont era. I suggest giving it a read. If anything, it'll make you understand how much cooler the show could have been if they followed his origin a little closer.
Logan King
Because it implies when he powers up his fist, it's as strong as iron. Which obviously is not that strong, but that's because when comics and heroes were first made they all used unimaginative measures like that. Like superman is still called the man of steel, even though his strength and endurance is obviously vastly stronger than steel, comparing him to steel doesn't even begin to describe him realistically, but that's what they intended originally. Same as iron fist, his powered up fist is actually way stronger than mere iron.
Gabriel Morgan
Not even sure what you're on about.
This show isn't great, no matter what nationality the actors are.

Evan Perry
The tv show does not have cool writing though not even close
Jaxson Rogers
My point, is that the critics didn't have anything negative to say about Luke Cage even though it had its flaws, just because the protagonist is a black guy.
It's like Danny being white gave them an "excuse" to let it all out on Iron Fist without feeling racist. Because, as you know, it's apparently impossible to be racist to a white person.

Marvel has been pandering to mentally unstable leftist comic book fans for years, they brought this on themselves.
William Wilson
tv show danny is a massive cuck.
Ethan Roberts
holding your comments and being nice to someone based on their skin color is racism.
blacks are either too stupid to notice or aware of it and taking advantage.
Lucas Harris
I think their comics that pander to leftists are not selling well and hopefully this means that Marvel will stop caring about them. A lot of them have been cancelled i think
Julian Johnson
Nigger or no nigger, Luke Cage is a good show. Great action, interesting characters played by good actors, realistic dialogue but still goofy enough to remind you it's capeshit. Iron Fist has literally none of that, except it still reminds you it's capeshit.
Christopher Diaz
I never assume stupidity. In a situation like this you KNOW they are smarter than us.
Camden Bell
That's true for the first half of the season, then you hit the second half of the season where it stops being good.
Brandon Lee
I'm white and the show is bad.
But I know you're really a Marvelshill who thinks we're stupid enough to fall for your bullshit, that's why I downloaded it through torrent.
I always assume whatever will result in maximum overkill if I'm wrong.
The weak should fear the strong.
All memes aside, animals can get trained to manipulate their man made environment for food, thinking humans are any different is a subtle deception.
Caleb Mitchell

Luke Cage's brother chewing screen time was amusing though.
It was shitty, but a lot of other marvel tv shows had the same flaws.
William Smith
Lmao at torrenting a Netflix when you already have Netflix. This is like stealing water when you can get some from your sink.
Easton Harris
I shouldn't bother, but how? Who does he get cucked by? Bakuto? Considering she betrays Bakuto to get with Danny despite Bakuto having been her master for much longer, Danny is, as Bryan Cranston would say, the one who cucks.

Iron Fist would have been a million times better if it had Red Hot Chili Peppers music.
You cannot deny this.

the sentiments are identical, clueless fuckboy who makes a mess of shit then acts surprised at the outcome which was very obvious to everybody watching and then pushes the blame onto something else.
Kayden Myers
Would be cool in this if wards Arc takes him to be a true friend to Danny while joy gets darker and darker
Luis Diaz
Danny is complete dog shit of a character. Iron fist is not as bad as critics make it out to be, but, Danny is one fo the worst thing about it. A few examples: In the plane to china, danny and nuse talk about revenge, and he says he trained 15 yeas and is in complete control of his emotions and body, 10s later he is pissing his pants with fear. He has a clebacy vow, cmpleatly bakes it with the jap/chink girl. trained in a space monastery, has less skill than a chink/jap girl in NY. in almost every episode he fails a character.
Tyler Campbell

How hard is it to try a single episode and find out? I gave it a shot because I heard it was getting a poor reception, thought "Huh, that was actually pretty fun. What the hell are they on about?" and proceeded to watch the rest.

probably not. Im on ep 9 and im hating he MC more and more.
Jackson Campbell
I've not seen this show before The lead can't even kick properly! And the editing... I know its cool to slate modern action editing, but this really is dogshit!
Jace Myers
Yes. If I had to pick something to criticize it's that it's maybe a little longer than it needs to be, but I still liked it. Ward's voice and Gao's trolling make it worth experiencing.
You should at least give the first episode a try. I feel like it's one of those shows where you can know if it's gonna be your kind of thing from one or two episodes. If you don't dig it, don't feel the need to bother watching the rest.
Evan Jackson
I like the shows but that image cracks me up because it's completely true.
Isaiah Clark
Thanks m8, i'll give it a go. I guess if it does get boring i can finish studying in the background, but i hate watching shows halfassed like that.
Jaxson White
I was more annoyed by the liberties they took with his backstory (pretty much anything relating to Kun-Lun) than anything else. It really didn't need 13 hours though. I have no idea why they didn't just make it shorter. It was okay, but only due to the combination of Harold, Ward whenever he's in the room with one other person, and Coleen's ass. Also Davos being his childhood rival instead of his father's makes basically no sense. How is Davos even speaking English with this timeline? For many fight scenes they just come off as distracting. For it was clearly just to make it seem more frantic, but for most of them it just takes me out of the show. Also people just expect the same effort they put into Daredevil
Andrew Evans
Made me laugh but I don't get it, I don't watch these capeshit shows.
Joshua Ramirez
episode 1 is solid
Connor Clark
Huh? I actually both Danny and Aquaman's casting.
Luis Watson
Critics are bred of the same tiny, vocal minority retards. Nobody actually listens to them, especially for TV. They are apart of an industry that is dying which they are killing themselves.
Owen Morgan
>Daredevil had fucking great action scenes >Jessica Jones' lead could not do action scenes at all, so there was nothing there >Luke Cage's lead, even though he looked like a proper Luke Cage, played everything really stiff and looked really fucking awkward whenever he did anything, but the Bring da Ruckus scene was still fun. Even though the lead just awkwardly walked around and lots of shoddy cuts and wire pulls to make him look powerful.
>Think Iron Fist will just be pure kung fu bliss >They'll pour all of the budget and creativity into some really badass kung fu action setpieces >See that the actor they cast as the lead doesn't have any physical presence whatsoever >The lead actor is the least capable of performing in good action scenes
I'm pretty fucking sad. I love Iron Fist, I've kept a few of the old comics on my desk at work for years now. I wasn't even looking for something super technical or intricate for the choreography, but I really wanted something that felt like people were getting their shit absolutely rocked by an iron hard chi fist.
It's not exactly difficult to understand even if you don't watch them. Rosario Dawson is in every single Marvel Netflix show, along with all the other things in the picture.
Charles James
The superhero shit Netflix has put out in recent years has generally been pretty damn good, something about this one just felt off though. Felt more like watching Power Rangers with the odd gory scene here and there than it did Daredevil, which struck a much better balance between cheesy and gritty. Some spectacularly lazy writing and poor casting decisions as well, I didn't buy the little 20 year old Asian girl as the superninja dojo master for a second. Also >sensei
Juan Taylor
I honestly believe the budget was just being stretched pretty thin by the time they got to Iron Fist, so they didn't have the luxury to make action scenes as fancy as they could have. Which is a shame, because it's the show where that's most important.
I hope that they'll have a much higher budget for the next season, so that they'll be able to deliver in that regard. I mean, either way I expect them to learn from the criticism.
Jayden Butler
>The superhero shit Netflix has put out in recent years has generally been pretty damn good. Not really. Compared to other superhero television, yeah. But even Daredevil, which I consider probably the best of the Netflix series, is mediocre with only some shining moments of greatness. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are also just straight up garbage, like Iron Fist. The only difference is the main characters are a woman and a black guy so it becomes over praised and overrated which ultimately hurts it because people have accepted less than mediocre television while Iron Fist will take on the criticism and try to improve.
Ryder Cruz
>while Iron Fist will take on the criticism and try to improve. That's optimistic. Ideally a bad response would mean they step it up, but there's also the possibility of them just letting the character die die, cranking the next season out even cheaper, or just letting it fade into obscurity instead of ever having a second season. I have no idea on how netflix decides on renewing seasons though, and I'm guessing it's too early for there to really be any news about that on Iron Fist
Jordan Roberts
Well they're pretty much trapped unless The Defenders also sucks shit because thanks to that show they have to keep Danny around no matter what. They're basically forced to improve.
Jonathan Ross
I love this show
why are (((they))) trying to kill it
Dominic Richardson
Anyone else think Iron Fist in the comics looks like the Dread Pirate Roberts?
That's a compliment though. That is one of my favorite movies.

Jayden Morgan

The shit that Finn Jones had to put up with on his Twitter was fucking embarassing. The entire existence of these so-called "cyber activists" hinges on guilty cucks buying into their narrative. Fuck source material and the fact that we're in Western civilization, let's just replace every white actor with a POC and be done with it.
Jason Baker
Why is he called Iron Man if he's not literally made of iron? Why is he called Spider-Man if he doesn't turn into a spider?
Samuel Foster
It was an awful show though
Ward was probably the best character in it
I'd fucking hate them to yellow-wash danny with an asian actor but it meant getting someone who was actually competent at fight choreography then maybe they should have
