Maybe he should blame the people in charge for being embarrassed by the source material and himself for being such a shitty fighter
So will it be Sup Forums's new favorite series
>Gizmodo link
Without looking at the comments section, I'm going to guess....major Trump bashing.
THANKS OBAMA
You already have people here trying to defend it because people flipped out over 'Cultural appropriation'.
Just further proof that casting a GoT actor in a major role is going to be a recipe for failure.
>Sees Inhumans casting.
AHAHAHAHA
Wow thanks a lot Drumpf!
Are you still triggered that you posted this again? Do you really have nothing better to do? Or is it still ironic and for the lulz.
>baiting the 12 year olds of Sup Forums for an easy 400 replies

Irony.
Nah, they will think less of the show because he didn't have the balls to call out the crazy SJWs and dumb identity policies that are to blame for most of the hit pieces on the show.
>batman
wtf I hate Batman and Iron Man now!
>Blames Trump
You're fired.
So does this mean Marvel TV will drop Iron Fist after The Defenders, and then we can get a version canon to the MCU?
Weren't all of the Gawker sites supposed to go down when Hulkamania ran wild on them?
No, that was misinformation spread by Sup Forums, only the main gawker site was "shut down" while the rest were left out of the deal and sold.
Can we let real people watch the show before we form an opinion? I mean for fucks sake I've seen IF used as bait by and against both the SJW and Sup Forums and the show isn't even out yet.
I really don't get why people can't come out and say "The show just sucks".
Hell, Jessica Jones was crap, Agents of Shield had to go from "promising" to "cheesy-bad" to "so bad it's comedic." I really don't get why people think that just because something is Marvel, makes it automatically 8/10 at worst.
welcome to Obama's kingdom of Hitlerstan
Fucking batman.
God fucking dammit. This was the show I was most looking forward to. I'm not going to judge it until I've seen it, but the fucking controversy shitstorm over it is just refusing to end.
They should have had Danny as a side character in Luke's show and made the fourth series Moon Knight
Wait hold the fuck up, is that actually Perlmutter?
Obama's not even in office
Why can't Marvel get into TV outside of Daredevil and the first part of Luke Cage?
I mean, shit. I like GotG only to see they got a shitty animated series. Fucking Marvel, how are you fucking inept at tie ins?
So....is this full of liberal sucker punches?
I fucking hate that shit. I'm a conservative,, always have been. I want to see something entertaining. Just tell a goddamn story, leave your bullshit out of it.
thats ike "the kike" perlmutter, yes
>This much damage control
I mean, i think Trump is garbage too but i don't try to justify a show being shit because of him
Yes
He now works for the President
All memes aside, the current season of AoS is the best capeshit on TV, desu senpai.
This sounds like it's just more of the same from Marvel's Netflix shows except this time there isn't some gimmick to get the clickbait reviewers buzzing. I'll wait to see it to judge for myself.

>Obama's not even in office
Obama is the first ex-president in history who not only stayed in Washington DC, he's actively opposing his predecessor.
EPIC bad form. Come on. The last Democrat this bad caused an amendment to the fucking Constitution so nobody could pull that shit again.

I knew that, I just didn't expect him to ever allow photographs to be taken, public position or not.
So, like Tony Stark? He does know Tony was made as a rich white dude at a time rich white dudes were unpopular, right? That making an unlikeable archetype likeable was hakf the mission statement for the book? He knows about comic book history, no? He realizes Tony is the most popular avenger right now, right? That the movies should be called Iron Man and friends?
Obviously, it can't be the series itself.
He has a point considering there were literally reviews that said it's bad due to the fact that he's a white American billionaire and media shouldn't be allowed to do that unless it's a villain because Trump.
>says user
>as he posts on Sup Forums, literally the board filled with the most underage on the entire site
You think you are joking, but more and more are complaining about them being rich white guys.
if you were tell past me that agents of shield becomes the hypest shit and flash devolves into the most boring capeshow i wouldve slapped ur shit.
Obama is now back to being an US citizen, with the same rights than any other. There is zero issues with that.
It has nothing to do with the 22th amendment who limit the number of terms in office. It does in no way forbid former president to remain involved in politic.
>Hey OP. Don't link to clickbait garbage.
Finn Jones, star of Marvel and Netflix's Iron Fist, keeps blaming outside factors for the poor reviews of his show. He's already trotted out the old and rotted "this is for the fans not critics" argument, but now he's added an argument as baffling as it is new: Danny Rand is too much like Trump and that is why people don't like him. We are dead serious.
Speaking to the RadioTimes, Jones gave this explanation for the negative perception regarding his TV series:
..cont
are you retarded? that only means they cant be president for more than 8 years, not that they are banished from washington and politics forever
"I think the world has changed a lot since we were filming that television show," he said. "I'm playing a white American billionaire superhero, at a time when the white American billionaire archetype is public enemy number one, especially in the US."
On a purely objective level, this is bullshit. No one's bitching about Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne, who are far more representative of the uber-rich, beyond-the-law stereotype than Danny Rand is. And Arrow launched a TV universe on the back of a rich, white, billionaire character. Clearly, Iron Fist's problems lie elsewhere.
We filmed the show way before Trump's election, and I think it's very interesting to see how that perception, now that Trump's in power, how it makes it very difficult to root for someone coming from white privilege, when that archetype is public enemy number one.
Given that the vast majority of American TV and movie entertainment features white leads and yet has not faced an inkling of the backlash or criticism that Iron Fist has received, it's safe to say that this is nonsense. Are more people critiquing the idea of rich, white men as protagonists? Absolutely, especially in stories like Iron Fist which also incorporate racist tropes in their DNA. But that not "public enemy number one" so much as it is people expressing disappointment that promoting diversity in entertainment is still a battle that needs to be fought every day. (And to say that a clichéd white character archetype is "public enemy number one" is incredibly offensive to people who have actually been targets of things more serious than criticism.)
>newfag not knowing old memes
>He has a point considering there were literally reviews that said it's bad due to the fact that he's a white American billionaire and media shouldn't be allowed to do that unless it's a villain because Trump.
>over half these reviewers have probably been gunning for Finn Jones back when he was cast because 'he's not Asian', which left them with a negative bias that affected their reviews
You go in wanting to hate something, you're probably going to hate it.
50/50 chance this is what happened. Or the show could be a complete flop. We'll see in a few days I guess.
Regardless of whatever you think of Donald Trump, you cannot lay Iron Fist's problems at his feet. Criticisms over the show's casting and the character existed long before Trump was elected; criticisms about the show's lacklustre fight scenes and dull, interminable storytelling have nothing to do with anything other than the show's lack of quality.
Finn Jones is being so defensive right now, he'll blame his show's problems on anything or anybody, other than the people who actually committed them. If there's any connection at all between Iron Fist and Trump, it's that.
>Being ex president means you can't have opinions
Okay
Obama's literally done nothing apart from one meager statement when Trump called him out publicly with his bogus wiretap claim. Fucking G. W. Bush has been more political about Trump than Obama has.
Hillary 2020! Who's with me?
Can't disagree about JJ, but AOS has been hitting it out of the park this season.
>Scott "Just Fuck" Buck
Jessica Jones was better than either of those
While from what I can tell from general criticisms Iron Fist seems to be a just plain shitty show, he's not completely wrong as part of many people complaints was the character itself being white and so on.
They were bought by Telemundo.
Surely you means 2024
As I said before it's bullshit. The evil rich white guy trope predates Trump by a lot (so much that the Netflixverse has, you know, Kingpin), and plenty of other characters have been hero billionaires, perhaps most notably Tony Stark being made rich and vain as a writing challenge.
Thing is, if it's good it's good, "muh prejudice" only takes you so far.
I'll check it out but all optisim gone and all that jazz.
>implying he gives a shit
Next you're gonna tell me Seth Macfarlane is getting fired from Fox.
Barry is a far better actor than Finn Jones is though
Is this some kind of marketing keikaku?
I am now actually more anxious to see this shit than ever.
Two things I am looking for are mystical shit and fighting shit and the choice of directors they have makes it hard for me to believe they would fuck up the fighting.
>FDR was so based he's still rustling conservative jimmies nearly eighty years later
Fucking sweet.
>Glorify a billionaire douche solving the problems through violence and shaddy methods for years
>Don't vote for Trump
Will this make idiots stop defending it?
Hopefully. Fucking white idiots on this board.
Jeph Loeb was a mistake.
>>Glorify a billionaire douche solving the problems through violence and shaddy methods for years
>>Don't vote for Trump
Stark is a real Billionaire, Trump isn't.
>show is getting attacked by the left
>blame it on the right
Does he want to alienate everyone?
I hate the MCU and think the show looks uninteresting but it is being attacked for all the wrong reasons. That does kind of make me want to check it out.
They have consistently gone on and on about how the mystical shit and fighting have been toned down in favor of realism and character drama, tho.
Leftists aren't really known for being intelligent, except maybe among themselves.
>2017
>Still blaming Trump for your personal failures and shortcomings
The least he could have done for the role was a few sit ups.
>you don't need guns because the police will protect you
>the police are murderous racists who kill on a whim
All political views have conflicting ideas, the left has just been very vocal with their crazy as of late.
So based that he threw americans into concentration camps
Outside observations seems to be that DD had people working on it that loved the material.
JJ only went down cause they stretched the shit out too long.
Luke started throw up warning signs with the star. However everyone around him saved that shit.
IF is going full retard out the gate.
Main problems seem to be execs, rights preventing the netflix from tying with movies, and the idea that everything must fit X mood. (movies = comedy, netflix = muh gritty)
Liberal Hollywood will blame Trump for everything. Is this Sup Forums related, or Sup Forums baiting? I'm fine either way.
>Being an ex president means forfeiting your first amendment rights.
LOL
Serious I'm so glad the democrat are dying out.
He's also used slush funds to funnel tax money into La Raza and BLM but I guess that wasn't purely about Trump.
do you have a single satisfact to snack that up
