This is most definitely not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Sure the boardroom drama may not be very entertaining but it's much better than the cheesy teen romance shit the CW puts out.
>>
Sound worse than bvs defenders.

This show is trash. Accept it.

>>90852469
Nothing better than a 6 on 10 but it's not as bad as people are making it out to be.

>>90852516
Cringe sex scene. No explanation why when he is stuck in kun Lin for fifteen years he doesn't master the iron fist. Madme Gao was fighting nobu in season one of dd. Now she is part of his organization. Yah this show is terrible in writing acting plotting pacing editing. It not 6/10 it's 3/10

I don't know a single damn thing about Iron Fist and just watched the first five episodes and I thought it was good, easily better than Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

Daredevil is still netflix king though
>>
>>90852591
This.

Though I feel like hes not as badass in the show as he should be in the comics. Just a feeling I get
>>
>>90852591
>>90852611
Here's my ranking

1.DD
2. First half LC
3. Iron Fist
4. JJ
5. Second half of LC

What really pisses me off is how people are oblivious to the fact that this show is tying the defenders together more than any other Netflix show. Hogarth, Temple, Joy even mentioning JJ. Seems to be coming together pretty well
>>
>>90852455
>not as bad as everyone is making it out to be
but people aren't saying it's bad at all. 8.5 on IMDB, it's only the critics and SJWs saying it's bad cause he's not asian, everyone watching it enjoys it.

Purple man and nuke were only good things about JJ and the show was irredeemable past episode 8

>>90853091
But Luke Cage was irredeamable after episode 4.
>>
>>90853202
what? why
>>
>>90852455
I'm 6 episodes in, and as long as it keeps on this trajectory, there's no way it deserves a fucking 12%. Maybe 6-6.5.
>>
>>90852455
I'm currently 3 episodes deep and I keep watching for everyone BESIDES Dickwad Rant. Seriously, this character is so retarded, I can't even imagine why. He was trained for 15 years by Kung Fu monks, instilled with the wisdom of Buddah and yet behaves like a 15 y/o edge kid.
Frankenstein is entertaining, so are Douchebag and his Sister Resting Bitch Face.
And Katana Girl is cute as a button and kicks some ass.
But the actual Iron Fist makes me cringe everytime he pops on a scene.
>>
>>90853343
true dat
>>
so,....Danny took a vow of celibacy and an episode later he fucks colleen. Does Danny know what celibacy means?

And MILF Misty should have been the one to take his virginity with her sexual experience.
>>
>>90853202
Luke Cage was indeed shit but at least it had good actors, something I can't say about Iron Fister.
>>
I think it was pretty progressive of Marvel to change the character of Iron Fist to make him fall on the Asperger's spectrum.
>>
I'm eight episodes in and so far it's my second favorite Netflix-verse show after Daredevil season 1.

Now, it might fall apart in episodes 9-13, but if it keeps going as it's going I'll be happy.

Problem is, after the whole debacle of Flash Arrow I was completely blown away by DD S1. But nothing could recature that magic. To be fair, DD S1 was incredibly impressive and so was everyone I knew who watched.
But unlike my GF, I had no interest in JJ and LC is still dragging on for me (I'm stuck at Ep 5 for three weeks now)

>>90854010
It's not even autism, but he's acting like a 13 y/o spoiled dumbass
>yes I learned Kung Fu and to meditate
>but still have the impusle control of a todler
>>
>>90854062
have you seen kun luns mediation? they literally just bury shit which is why danny keeps having outbursts, he never developed properly as an adult in kun lun and he never dealt with the trauma either
>>
>>90854062

Flash is great. After Daredevil season 1 Flash season one is my second favorite (live action) Superhero show. I also prefered Flash season 2 over Daredevil season 2.

Bullseye didn't kill Elektra and it felt really bullshit to me. Also, Daredevil and Elektra literally never fucked after fighting ninjas, which made me even more mad.

And no, the inclusion of Frank didn't make up for the fails.

>>90854028
Cool, I'm excited to watch more with my girlfriend tomorrow night. She's shipping Colleen and Danny though, and I'm like he needs to get with Misty.
>>
>>90854180
>Flash is great.

Flash had a good S1 and good/decent S2.

But S3 has just been crap, almost everyone seems to be getting more retarded each episode.
>>
>>90854236

Haven't watched season 3 yet other than the first 3 episodes so I can't comment on season 3.
>>
OP here. On ep 9 and I'm completely ok with it until now. Hope it doesn't start flipping out in a shit way like LC
>>
So I'm around episode 7-8 and something doesn't make any sense. Danny is the majority shareholder in Rand. How does the Board deny him a voice? Do the writers just not understand what majority shareholder means? Danny could fire the entire BoD if he wanted to.
>>
>>90853674
I liked everyone in Iron Fist, Colter can't convince me he's Luke Cage for shit.
>>
It's 10x better than Luke Cage. I hated that show.

Luke Cage fell apart when Mahershala's character died but that first half was amazing.
Iron Fist never got as cool, but was the most consistent season since DD S1.
>>
>Hate on Mass Effect
>I am just a sheep who follows whatever people say
>Love Iron Fist
>I am just a contrarian who is just always against popular opinion for the sake of it
Can anyone relate here?
>>
>>90855211
I'm hating both, so not really. I can't believe people are giving BioWare another chance after how long it's been since they churned out a good product. Starting to feel that way about Marvel Netflix, too.
>>
>>90855198
>Iron Fist never got as cool, but was the most consistent season since DD S1.
This, people are fucking retarded, they've been complaining about how Netflix shows just die after 6 or 8 episodes and when this show comes around that builds up the speed as it goes along they hate it because it's different.

I hope you'll be happy to see Defenders reshoots in which anything interesting will happen in the first 2 episodes and rest is just as bad as Luke Cage.

It's just boring, that's the worst part.

If it was bad, you could at least enjoy it with friends in shit-talking it, but when it's boring and a chore to sit through, then it's no fun.

Such melodrama.
Much cheese.

Inconsistent characterization for every main character other than Ward.
Unlikable title character for the first time, awful dialogue, terrible direction other than the RZA episode.

I regret defending it's casting choice for the last year.

>>90855365
Mass Effect as a series is only comparable to Dune if we take "Dune" to mean the Brian Herbert spinoffs for some ungodly reason.

memeposting really isn't helping your case.
>>
>>90852455
I've only seen the first 2 episodes but I enjoyed them quite a bit. And apparently those are the worst episodes in the series. Is it as good as the other excellent Netflix shows, maybe not (at least so far). Is it better than most cheesy-ass superhero shows, like Gotham, Flash, Arrow, etc., most definitely.
>>
>>90855380
I said has better fight scenes, I'm not saying all of Arrow's fight scenes are better nor that Arrow doesn't also have terrible fight scenes you idiot.

So I just finished watching it all. Spilers ahead

>Way more claire than I expexted. I dont dislike her character but I just bindged all of luke cage the day before because I never got around to watching it, so she felt like a bit much.
>I really do feel like if you added up the time the characters got, especially in the middle episodes, danny had way less screen time than the meachums.
>No real entrypoint into defenders, the ending where him and coleen go back kunlun but can see it was attacked and the way closed was a bit dissapointing.
>Bakuto was pretty a shit. Boring. The whole idea of the training camp was a bit weird.
>Hoenstly I loved both Harold and Ward. I really want to see Ward more in the future. Maybe theres something about the name.
>Thought we would see more of kun'lun to be honest, or at least learn more about Gaos history in the MCU.
>Its been 5 seasons of New York and the hand still hasnt accomplished anything. Its really dragging on. Do we have a good timeline of things? Jessica jones was only about 2 weeks, Luke Cage felt like it was all pretty quick. This too, Less than a month at least danny was back in NY. I really want to know what the fuck the hand is doing with that Giant hole. I honestly thought Daredevil would show up in the last few but then again I guess its Iron Fists first season so it wouldn't be fair if he came along to 'save' it.

What is the next one coming out? Is it The Defenders or The Punisher solo?

Also coleen's ass holy shity. I had to stop to jerk off every episode.

>>90853343
>Seriously, this character is so retarded, I can't even imagine why. He was trained for 15 years by Kung Fu monks, instilled with the wisdom of Buddah and yet behaves like a 15 y/o edge kid.
It makes sense that he would have arrested development at least as far as Western social conventions go since he's been in a magical land since childhood.
>>
>>90855454
>a shill calling someone else a shill
Comedy gold.
>>
>>90855454
Arrow at least has its titular character in costume.
Iron Fist didn't even get an "ew comics, amirite?" like in Luke Cage.
>>
>>90855454
It is, it did the Billionaire gets back from being lost thing quicker and better. It did the Billionaire becoming a vigilante better, and it did fight scenes better than IF did when it hits its strides.
>>
>>90855454
Fucking Power Rangers has better fight choreography than Iron Fist.
>>
>>90852569
Sex scene was shit yeah.

In the flashback we see danny pretty recently actually got the Iron Fist. He didn't have it long before running off. Thats why he didn't finish the training.

Even though the nu-hand training camp faction was retarded it did show how there were different factions of the Hand, just like Gao and Nobu were different factions.
>>
>>90852674
For me its
DDs1
DDs2
LC
IF
JJ

Though iron fist were pretty close, not because IF was bad but because I liked JJ, enjoyed them both. I have enjoyed them all but DD was way above the rest and LC was a bit more fun than the others.

>>90855454

I haven't watched it yet but my buddy said the fight choreography is laughably bad. He said that he was cracking up during some scenes. I guess it's a pretty far cry from the Daredevil hallway fight. Which is a shame because if any show needed awesome fight choreography it was this one.

I'd rank Daredevil number one but Karen Page was such an awful character that she literally ruined the show for me. Fuck her and her Mary Sue bullshit. That scene where the show basically had to make Wesley into a complete moron in order to have her kill him was when the show went past the point of no return for me. That and the fact that her stupid ass got several people killed. I hate her so much I haven't watched Season 2 yet because I hear she gets more focus.

Jessica Jones was my favorite. Why do so many people hate it? She's probably my favorite hero and it had the best Marvel villains we've ever seen on screen save for Winter Soldier and Zemo from the movies.

Haven't watched Luke Cage and Iron Fist yet.
>>
>>90855372
This. There is no reason for this show to have all conversations repeat themselves and right before they get interesting, they just stop
>>
>>90855601
Season 2 DD is great dude, yeah theres more karen but you get hard out DD from the start and its great.

Luke Cage is really good. I liked JJ too.

I think Iron Fist is the lowest at the moment, I just finished binging and honestly can't remember any amazing fights. I think the problem was he didn't have someone good to fight against. The kung fu big bad was a shit
>>
>>90855601
Fights are fine. That hallway fight scene is just a single fight scene with some very visible flaws that no one just expected to be that good at the time.

Iron Fist is exactly on par with Daredevil's choreography except for that hallway fight.
>>
>>90855578
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMxh6bPve6o
I don't know what's funnier, the terrible fight choreography, the laughable dialogue or the fact that the actors can't deliver a line to save their lives.

christ just compare these two. One of this is a Netflix show with a comparable budget to a CW show which is... a CW show
>>
>>90855668
That's seriously disappointing. How could they have missed giving the show a great villain? All the shows have had good ones so far. Much better than the movies actually.
>>
>>90855680
Your meme opinion is funny.
>>
>>90855701
Yeah, elevator fight is cool.

You can't make any claims about the budget, generally TV shows that air on TV have simply bigger budgets, but Arrow also must stretch it out to 23 episode.

Meanwhile Netflix shows don't have money to show Jessica Jones fly or Luke Cage be good.
>>
https://streamable.com/cmctg

Holy shit this is nauseating to watch
>>
Having just finished I'm surprised how much sense Danny's character actually makes by the end. Early on it bugged the shit out of me that he was so spazzy and PTSD-riddled while also being a meditative kung-fu master, but it explains a lot that he seemingly spent 15 years just being told to get over it and fight. The execution could have been better, but it wasn't an angle I expected.

I just hope he's a little more competent come Defenders though. He gets poisoned, drugged and whatever else way too often, on top of just not seeming very impressive. If not for the glowing fist every couple episodes he'd seem MUCH less useful than say Matt, despite being superpowered.
>>
>>90855701
How can you have a comparable budget, make a series about a character that specializes in martial arts and yet still let a fucking CW show have better fight choreography... fucking boggles the mind.
>>
>>90855701
Both of those are shit.
>>
>>90855757
Fucking, what makes you think they are comparable?
>>
>>90855710
Your meme post is funny.
>>
>>90855763
but one of those was more expensive to produce. Really makes you think
>>
>>90855766
They really aren't comparable and they shouldn't be, but Iron Fist should have the better ones.

>Faster
>Less jump cuts

Daredevil > Luke Cage = Iron Fist

Haven't watched Jessica Jones yet. Daredevil's both seasons are still good. Luke Cage to me was that they needed a way to "nerf" the character for too long (drill bullets). Iron Fist's main problem was that there are a lot scenes where they dragged on too long and the fights as a supposed martial arts show, the fights sucked, the only passable fights were the ones in episode 6.
>>
>>90855601
only reason JJ left a bad taste in my mouth is bc kristen ritter is at best a wooden plank of an actor and laughably bad at trying to sell the "surly alcoholic PI" angle. whenever she wears her hoodie and fingerless gloves she looks like a 13 y/o mallgoth. fuck her
>>
>>90853322
12% isn't a rating. It's how many critics gave it a good rating. I'm not sure where RT draws the line between a good and bad rating though.

This is the fastest I've finished a Netflix show. I really liked it.

If it as a season 2 they need to hire a better choreographer and better directors.

Ok?

>>90855843

No matter how much you'll shill CW, CW shill, I'm never getting back to Arrow after season 3. You can stop lying.

It's so depressing seeing these discussions and being reminded of Luke Cage. The show the first half was leading to could have been so good.

Iron Fist more or less had some consistency, which is a hell of a feat after the last couple.
>>
>>90855874
Sorry Netflix shill but I haven't watched Arrow for longer than you have. Iron Fist is just garbage and the fight scenes are laughable. Deal with it.

>>
You know, Harold Meachum was a really good villain, the actor nailed it. Liked him more than kingpin.
>>
>>90855825
I actually bought her as a surly alcoholic PI because she was so dispassionate and detached. It felt a lot like Daria Morgendorffer grew up without really learning anything and I kinda dug that. I was fine with her sarcastic delivery. I think the "Am I really a hero?" angle was ham-fisted and poorly done though. She never felt like she wasn't a hero to me. When you oppose someone like Kilgrave, it's kind of impossible NOT to look like a hero considering the dude literally mindfucks people. Yeah, I know she dealt with the guilt of what she did, yadda yadda, but I think having her be like "I guess I am a hero after all" at the end was a forced attempt at a Wreck-It-Ralph story arc when she was never really a villain in the first place. It's not like she was a thug or criminal starting out.

>>90856065
Defenders have been shooting for a while.

I think it's set to release in September.

I think Iron Fist's cast had to shoot some parts of Defenders and some parts of Iron Fist at the same time as well.
>>
Was I the only one confused by Joy's last scene? She goes from realizing maybe Harold really is crazy and being mad at him for framing Danny, to wanting Danny dead so things will be "normal"? I get being rattled but what?

Davos makes a little more sense, but it still felt bizarre seeing him with her out in the world after so adamantly wanting to go back home.

>>90855996
Because after Cottonmouth dies it becomes a lot cheesier with Diamond back's intro.
He was waaay to much cheese and the final fight reminded me of Meteor Man.

It was still much better than Iron Fist though.
>>
>>90856124
It does when done well, which this show wasn't.
>>
>>90856046
Can't say I didn't expect that, it's not like you have anything of value to say.
>>
>>90856149
Honestly Netfilxverse needs more cheese.
Everything is oppressively dour and it's no fun to watch at all.
>>
>>90855996
Because at it's heart it's just fucking stupid.

It's got strong actors, a setting with a lot going for it and good music.

Unfortunately the pacing is shocking and the writing is frequently bizarre and laughable.

For instance the main antagonist Diamondback is introduced as a mysterious and powerful criminal with a shitload of resources but turns out to be just some guy who turns up on his own. He then tells Luke that he was Luke's brother all along but this sort of big reveal only works at all if you have any idea who Diamondback is but we don't. It's like if Darth Vader called Luke on the space phone in a New Hope and said "hey Luke I'm your dad" before Luke had any fucking idea who Darth Vader was even supposed to be and formed an opinion on him.

Quality of acting seems to go out the window in every flashback and for every action scene there's a seemingly endless amount of scenes of people grandstanding about Harlem or standing around the club talking about Ma fucking Mabel.
>>
>>90856014
Nothing of value would be lost.
>>
>>90856172
Go watch power rangers.
>>
>>90856172
Personally the problem for me was that it tried to do both and failed in the process.

The first half was serious and felt like it was building up something interesting, only for it to get shoved out the window for Diamondback and his cuhRAZY antics. Too much tonal clash for on show.

Honestly, I think the show should have taken a page from Arrow's book and intersperse flashbacks to K'un Lun. This would have helped fill up time so there's less padding and give us more context for who Danny is. We get these little glimpses that help explain his weird behavior, like the way he was taught to suppress his emotions. Give us more of that and you get a much more interesting character, and you can also play up the angle that he's a man who belongs nowhere -- outside in K'un Lun, outsider in New York. That might also cut against some of the complaints about Danny as a white guy, if you actually spend some time focusing on his background and identity.

Of course, even if they did that the show still had garbage fights, which is unforgivable for Iron Fist. So hire a good fight choreographer too (and maybe embrace the costume so you can use a stunt double more). Between that and more K'un Lun, you'd have an A+ show.
>>

this is the Kamen Rider Hibiki episode right? Was Hibiki worth watching? The Taiko theme weirds me out.

Show is ok i guess. First 3 episodes are mostly ass though. Ward is a better character than Danny which is hilarious. Colleen is well written, cute as hell, and kicks ass better than Danny can (nothing hotter than a woman who can kill you in am instant)

Basically if the show didn't have Danny it would be better

If everyone says the first 3 episodes are the worst, then I'm really surprised why it got so much hate. It might be because I expected it to be bad, but I'm on the 3rd episode now and I'm really enjoying it. I like it more than Jessica Jones at this point.
>>
>>90855601
>Jessica Jones was my favorite. Why do so many people hate it? She's probably my favorite hero and it had the best Marvel villains we've ever seen on screen save for Winter Soldier and Zemo from the movies.

I think part of JJ's problem is that it's a bad show for binging. I ended up marathoning it in one day, and it's just an exhausting series. Watching week to week I think would be a much different experience, and there's a lot more time to let more dread for Kilgrave to sink in. It would help with that dark/trapped feeling. When you binge, it just becomes a draining series of chases.

>>90856719

For it to sink in it has to exist in the first place.

>>90856711

I'm on episode 3 right now and the pacing is fucking dreadful. Every conversation is just people repeating the same three things over and over again, you could have condensed everything I've seen so far into a single episode. Even the slowest parts of Jessica Jones at least had character advancement going on, Danny has been a flatline this entire time.

I'll stick with it, but this is genuinely bad television right now. The best parts are David Wenham and Colleen Wing.

fine just keep posting bait XD and don't come up with an actual argument

Deal with it Finn portrayed a great juvenille Danny who had been burying all his PTSD shit because kun luns retard meditation,

Just because the character of Danny Rand can be a bit of a fuck doesn't mean the actor is shit, its supposed to be like that

The show was shit. Not bad, shit. Maybe the reception was a little to harsh but in no way this shit should be praised or tolerated. The true SJW crime was to praise JJ and LC, not bash this turd. The acting is bad, the plot is shit and the action scenes are just embarrassing. You guys are right to be worried about this being compared to CW shows, it feels CWish but without the things that make people enjoy CW shows.
>>
>>90857286
If this gets greenlit for season 2, then I have no idea what the fuck they're going to do with her. Hell, it looks like Ward is on Danny's side now. Ward and Harold were pretty great, though.

There's so much shit that they can do, but I really don't want another season of Hand bullshit. Davos/Steel Serpent (not yet?) and K'un Lun being gone are huge ass cliffhangers. Is that just getting put on hold for Defenders?
>>
>>90857605
Gao lies, though.
IDK, I associate the Hand with the red and black ninjas and japanese iconography. Her people are chinese. She gets mercs from outside to do her dirty work. Seal team six came to rescue her out of the dojo. She and Nobu worked at cross purposes earlier in DD and her and Bakudo aren't on good terms either.

Is this poor writing or intentional misdirection?

well yeah, it's a kung fu show with a character that does kung fu.

>>90859655
Not everyone in Kun'Lun has some severe trauma to work trough. Dude saw his mom get sucked into the sky, found his dad's frozen corpse, and then grew up having to bury all that shit deep doen because had had to learn mystical Kung Fu.
>>
I actually really enjoyed the show. I thought it was better than Luke Cage, since that show was shit the second half.

The problem is Iron First doesn't explain until the end that Danny is still incredibly undertrained and has a lot to learn. People assume he is already the Iron Fist we know in the comics. The last 3 episodes or so go into this and how he needs to get over his anger and finish his training.

Also Colleen is a cutie, and a great character for the show. Ward is complicated, and I started out hating him, but the second half the season I felt sorry for him, and then he turned out to be one of the good guys.

I would say the show is an 8/10, not a masterpiece but not shit. In fact it is quite good.

>>90859350

not really, he handles them effortlessly. He doesn't get hit, just blocks a lot until he had good strikes. He gets pushed around a bit but that's really it. The first time he struggled was against the other immortal weapons.

but yeah, they toned down his chi powers in this series

That's because he's undertrained in using the Iron Fist. The found footage Iron Fist had two Chi hands and kicked ass like Iron Fist should. Danny unlocked the powers and then bolted as soon as he noticed Kun'Lun being open.

I'm on episode 5.

Its definitely boring. My biggest issue, more than anything, is the show is 90% shitty acting. Colleen is the only character I like desu.

I also hate how inconsistent Danny's fighting skills are. There is no reason the dude in the x-ray room should have been an issue when an episode later, he's fucking up hatchet triads.

The most interesting thing about the show is that they set up that Danny's got issues from the training, but its been side stepped at this point and when they do refer to that, its just to make him look autistic, not really explore the character.

Honestly, its only slightly better than Arrow. Hopefully it pulls a reverse Luke Cage and gets better as the season goes on.

It does not take long to google, with comic you could make excuse of time but shows need even more time for production and if you are going to make it a major part of the plot than you need a consultant or something. seriously I can see some retard watching this show and being all "yeah go danny, show those corporate fucks". people laugh when some guy wants a wind turbine shut down because he thinks noise is making him sick but 15 people have cancer in a part of the city(city with millions of people and other productions) and it must be that 1 plant that was cleared, we are not sure what it is but it must be them.

Wait. So how long does the city remain available for a visit? In the comics it's a day every ten years, but here it's every fifteen, and they don't say how long the city is open for.

Danny, the person that is supposed to be guarding the opening, didn't seem to know how long it stayed open either.

Jesus Christ, this show.
>>
Why does Danny keep creeping on the asian at the start? She keeps telling him to fuck off and he keeps coming back. Even after he gets money, there's not really a reason for him to keep trying to get into the dojo. The romance sub plot doesn't start until after.

What was the point about him trying to get a job teaching kung fu?

Why was the Dindu with a scholarship for fighting so impressed about the one time he met danny and danny lost his shit, screamed, and started wacking people with sticks for talking shit to somebody who wanted him to leave?

Why wasn't Danny a zen hipster who repeats koans to every issue and never gets flustered.

Why the fuck doesn't Claire call any of her friends?

Why the fuck doesn't anybody ever follow up on her name dropping about knowing super powered individuals who fight the hand?

She was giving them massive goddamn signals and they miss it like you missed those signals from that girl in highschool.

good question
>Why wasn't Danny a zen hipster who repeats koans to every issue and never gets flustered.
because (a) the monks just told him to repress everything he felt instead of actually working on his emotions and (b) that'd be a boring as fuck show

I hope when they do the team up it's light hearted in nature and actually uses the team dynamics people enjoyed in the past.

I miss Zen Danny riffing with Cage.
>>
>>90862231
I don't believe in that repressed emotion babble. Your feelings are chemical reactions, and suppressing them through higher thinking isn't storing the chemical reaction for later usage until it bubbles up after reaching critical mass. Once your fit of rage or sadness passes, its done, it passed, so if you keep your shit together you've done good. You're not going to have a random break down later because you didn't have one now

in fact everything I've learned about "get it all out" when someone is being emotional, is that it's bad advice. By giving in to those lesser instincts you're conditioning a behavior and will be more prone to losing your shit at the drop of a hat the more you do it

I got to the part with the Ward flashback in the first episode, and it was so cheesy and disconnected with what an actual bully would say, and Ward's dialogue was so badly delivered, that I laughed out loud, and then turned it off.

I'll probably go back to the show at one point out of curiosity, but anyone who thinks the show is not "actively bad" in some parts or that the only problem is it being "boring" is deluding themselves.
>>
so danny has never killed anyone and is having problems with it but is ok with sending hatchet man to fuck up a wheelhouse? also what was the deal with 2 Russians, they had no special style (did not even move in sync) they cut up their hands like retards (which would make punching needlessly harder) I still did not get why their "we are one" was allowed a pass and the spider woman was all "muh pussy" and ill informed psychological warfare

>>90862541
No, you learn to change your attitude towards certain memories and situations. By suppressing it, you're just ignoring it, and never changing your mindset.

Show is eh. It has poor fight choreography and a wood main actor. Then again, so did luke cage when he was trying to do any kind of emotion other than cool calm and collected. Show is also really long and drawn out.

It doesn't matter as long as they're not white, right?!

I hate these people. They just interchange us and use us as a tool to pat themselves on the back.
>>
>>90863143
No. A major component of a memory is the emotions you felt at the time, and your brain replicates them. Something that made you mad at school when your were 14 shouldn't have the exact same effect on you when you are 34. If you can't put past situations and events into perspective, you're going to be angry, sad and frustrated for a very long time.
>>
Ok so far i have seen 7 episodes, and the best one was not surprising directed by fucking RZA.

Colleen and Ward are probably the best characters on the show easily. Danny is a little bitch who can be hurt easily by common dudes.
Also doesn't this whole "I am the only one who can defeat the Hand" directly contradict what Stick says in Daredevil?

Even the intro sequence is lazy as piss and gives the wrong impression for a show about talking and business meetings instead of kung fu
>>

After what we saw from Daredevil, and the nature of this show, there's no excuse for this. With Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, you can at least make the case, shaky as it is, that they're not skilled fighters, so the choreography doesn't have to be anything special. No dice here.
>>
>>90863563

>>90863738
Yeah, it honestly felt like the fighting took a backseat and was in like 4th place of importance when it came to this show. It felt like it was something that should have aired on CW.
>>
>even more boring than Luke Cage
Top Wew Lad
>>
>>90863804
I honestly preferred luke cage to this, and iron fist was what I was most hyped for. Luke cages actor is also pretty wooden, but at least he could pull off calm and collected. The problem was when he tried to show any other kind of emotion like rage or sadness.
>>
>>90863804
I liked Luke Cage, though mostly for Cottonmouth.
>>
>>90863798
not only that, but the choreography they did do wasn't even correct
She did an arm bar in the 3rd episode that wasn't an arm bar, you use your hips as a fulcrum to apply pressure to the back of the elbow. She had the elbow below her crotch which is actually the guys escape, so there would be no pressure.
further, she also had his palm pointed upwards, an arm bar doesnt' apply pressure in that position, you need to have the persons thumb pointed upwards

so essentially they didn't even get martial artists to put this stuff together
>>
>>90863798
I could be wrong, seeing that I just read small appearances, and his original story, but I got the sense that he is a quintessential kung fu movie hero. The stories I've seen him in have all the usual aspects you'd see in a Bruce Lee movie for example.

So it came at quite a surprise to realize the whole show is actually boring as fuck. And not just the corporate stuff.
Even the fighting and characters feel like they didn't want to go all out on the fantasy, and be called weird.
>>
>>90863872
>>90863891
Agree, Luke Cage was better than this. Although Luke Cage was bad too, at least it had some interesting villain for a while and the whole black 70s movie vibe kind of saves the whole thing for me. I was bored out of my mind but I managed to finish it

This shit you couldn't pay me to watch it again. Jesus christ what a shitshow

Yeah, iron fists opening was really fucking generic. With daredevil, jessica jones and especially luke cage, I'd watch the opening several times before I started skipping it. I only watched the opening for iron fist once. I remember really super generic asian music, and a really lame poser cgi model doing kicks. Honestly, the entire show felt kind of phoned in.

I loved how this show brought everything together and expanded the connections, but man this is the weakest Danny ever.

Like one main complaint of mine is the dumb "Id eat ice cream everyday thing. Like I understand it was shown to show his craziness, but I felt they way they handled it was really bad. Like Kyle (I think was his name) answer of the question with "id eat ice cream for breakfast" was such a stupid response. If it were a different line or maybe if his character was portrayed better I'd like it. Like if he said "Hmmm I'm not sure, i never though would i'd do. Maybe something silly like eat ice cream for every meal hahaha" then I could believe that situation and line.

>>90864485
I took from it that the writers were trying to portray the assistant as unambitious, if he could do anything he would just eat ice cream. It's pathetic, and upsets Meachim because he's an ambitious egomaniac man, so then when he asks for the most boring of things at the meal he kills him for being pathetic boring and unambitious.

Or at least that's what the writers completely failed to get across, simple fix could have been him ranting about the kid being pathetic, instead of ice cream which was just retarded.

Third wheel the character Claire ruined so much of this show just by being around.

It was grating to have her interrupt character moments, constantly pander to normies with her shitty jokes and "das zo weurd" comments.

He had three weeks to prepare.
>>
1. The budget constraints kneecapped the show's potential. Danny makes a reference to growing up in K'un Lun on average once an episode. We don't get to see any of it because that would cost money. That's shit.

2. Finn is not a good martial artist, at all. That's a big problem when the main character is a martial artist.

3. The fight directors dropped the ball big time. Just to give one example, there's a scene where Colleen starts showing off her sword skills for Danny, swinging her blade at him. Could've been neat... if her blade had been allowed to get within a mile of him.

It's hard to do a martial arts show when your star actor is not a martial artist, and for inexplicable reasons nobody in the show rose to the occasion and suggested "maybe use a mask so we can use a stunt double more easily?" Thus we get endless cuts away from the action because in truth Finn wouldn't be able to pull off the action needed.

Seriously, hands down the biggest stumbling block in the show is that nobody put a mask on the character that wears a mask all the fucking time in the source material. It's moronic.
>>
>>90862895
Wow he has fantastic hair.
>>
>>90868710
Fuck Marvel for going with Scott Buck. Why would you get someone who has only done Everybody Loves Raymond and the worst seasons of Dexter?

The whole mask thing is ridiculous because they said they had no reason to put him in one. Aside from allowing greater freedom via a stuntman/stand-in it also seems more plausible he would use a mask to hide his identity FROM PEOPLE ON THE INSIDE OF HIS COMPANY PEDDLING DRUGS instead of going around and saying HI I AM DANNY RAND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE

I can't imagine this coming back for another season without some major shake-ups in the creative team. Yeah it'll probably be a ratings hit for Netflix, but it's by far the most critically panned project to come out of Marvel Studios/MCU.
>>
>>90869108
Some of that legitimately is people being way too hard on it over "this is totally white savior stuff" nonsense. Although they were not ENTIRELY without a point... the show fucking threw in "you were the prophesied one". Couldn't just have him be the latest in a long line of qualified Iron Fists, had to throw in a special prophecy all about him.

But yeah, there's zero fucking excuse for the martial arts show having such poor martial arts. A mask would've made things vastly better by letting the stunt doubles take up the slack, making the fight scenes better (and letting the writers put in more fight scenes since they would be more confident in their quality). It's baffling. A fucking mask.

For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
for want of a shoe the horse was lost,
for want of a horse the knight was lost,
for want of a knight the battle was lost,
for want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
So a kingdom was lost—all for want of a nail.

"We approach Danny Rand as a person, and try to see the world through his eyes. As for the flashiness of the fist, it's dealt with in what we hope is the most realistic way possible."

I like how he pretended that the lack of special effects is totally intentional and not a result of Marvel turning its pockets inside out and pretending not to have the money to do shit.

Dude he's lying. They didn't leave out shit like The Bride of Nine Spiders being able to legit shoot spiders because "realism," they did it because Marvel got stingy and didn't give them the budget for it. You can tell in all the other ways the budget just falls flat, like the lack of other locations for filming and the cuts away from the action every time something was happening that would've required a bit of money to do justice on the screen. In hindsight it's a blessing that Daredevil season 1 did so well. Whatever money was spent on Agents of SHIELD, less was spent here.

So is it Finn Jone's fault that the fight scenes suck or is it the director/studio's not fault for not making or letting him practice his choreography enough?
>>
>>90870758
Iron Fist in the books wears a mask.

In any Iron Fist show there would definitely be scenes where Danny needed to do martial arts just on the spot, unmasked, and Finn's failings there would be his fault.

But there is no fucking reason not to have him put on a mask in other scenes where it would've made it possible to put an experienced martial artist in. That's on the directors.

>I like how he pretended that the lack of special effects is totally intentional and not a result of Marvel turning its pockets inside out and pretending not to have the money to do shit.
Not Marvel, it's Permutter. We are talking about a guy who was so stingy, he tried to veto having Tony Stark in Civil War because he doesn't want to hire RDJ. That was what got him banished to the TV division to begin with. And now he can be as penny pinching as he likes, harming Iron Fist.

Man, that costume is 10/10. Why doesn't Danny wear it if the Iron Fist has an official costume in the cannon of the show?

Would of also let Finn Jones be subbed by a stunt man for the action scenes.

I'd say DD is the most useful Defender atm, he's definitely the smartest and at least as good a fighter as IF if not better at this point. Right now I'm more looking forward to DDS3 than the Defenders, although since its the DD showrunner perhaps he can redeem IF (look cage was good for the first 5 episodes, iron first was good episodes 2-9, but LC didn't suffer from seeming too weak like IF)

> because Anybody with half a functioning brain cell can tell you that they used this footage to setup Orson Randall for a potential appearance in defenders or IFs2.

Given that Madame Gao is ridiculously long-lived, it's just as likelly that Randall will emerge and 'pass the torch' to Danny, giving danny the opportunity to operate under the guise of who others will assume is the "Randall" version of Iron Fist after the torch is passed.


It's actually quite sad how many things aren't being discussed on this board about what's going on, the implications behind the newfound connections and why/how the events are likely to lead up to the defenders.
>>
>>90858277

He's saying no explanation why he doesn't understand how to use the iron fist or a lot of its powers when he's trained his whole life for it.
>>
Here's the thing about Danny's entire character: Everything he is and knows is fundamentally wrong and every decision he makes is wrong. The only thing going for him is is fight record.

He's got severe trauma AND been indoctrinated to be a weapon without feelings. All of this breaks apart when he loses his first battle of in the tournament and your perfect mental conditioning goes away.
Notice Lei Kun is no where to be heard or seen after that. Then what is left? A guy that doesn't know what to do.

Yeah we got some cool stuff: the tournament, the Bride Expy, using the China-Japan cultural conflict, the homage to the Axe Gang, Monk Custome, the immortality angle of the Meachums, Gao bitch slapping Danny to reality, name dropping Ch' Lin as the leader of the "Chinese Hand", and Davos having a legitimate claim of Danny stealing and using a weapon of his home inappropriately.

But it also reused the same flashbacks over and over. Dialogue was dull at times and the character feels a bit aimless.
And really we needed more fight scenes... hell, where are all of the ninja costumes from DD S2? Bakuto was the perfect excuse to give Danny a suit and we only saw a flashback of it. It's also making the same mistake of the original comics: recharging Chi is a poor excuse for not going balls to the walls crazy with super Kung Fu.

It's a B show at best, but there's room for improvement in the future.
I want to see Danny split a tank in two with a Chop next time, hear me Marvel?

Daredevil was more of a martial arts series than Iron Fist was. Think about that for a second. Not only was it part legal drama and part superhero it also filled the niche better than the one that was designed to fill it. Good lord
>>
>>90873320
The time window seems intentionally left with a great deal of vagueness and much actual detail of what went down in Kun' Lun is pretty much left up to danny's explanation.

The bottom line is production budget being tight so Defenders can be much bigger, but they had to be exceptionally creative to dance around the fact.

Unfortunately, this means that more character development scenes were stretched out much longer, such as Harold Meachum's role in Danny's backstory being massively expanded to such a point that it clouded the possibility of a conclusion that focused on Davos.

The justification for this was most likely a last-minute decision because somebody forgot to separate the emblem of the drugs from the steel serpent symbol-which davos should have branded onto his chest...and yet madame gao (who has been to kun lun) was made to be stupid enough to spam it since DDs1 and deteriorated it's purpose in being branded on Davos's chest.

My only complaints are Claire being a bit heavy handed, and falling into the

and
>I lied to you because you would literally have been murdered
>but you still lied to me!!!
cliches. The whole "don't kill people" stuff was alleviated a bit by Coleen too so it wasn't AS bad. Other than that I really, really liked it. Not as good as DD season 1, but I don't think it had any major flaws. I haven't seen JJ but I'd put it over LC and DD2.

And Madam Gao, I think this confirms she is the Crain Mother (as well as the "I spent the 17th century" comment)

In the comics she was the one controlling the Steel Serpent much like what was implied in the end of the last episode. I just think it was a bit of a fuck you that she was hinted to be the Crane Mother and Steel Serpant were teased: In DDS1, think about that we've been waiting for the characters since the netflixverse go started and now we have to wait until either a IFS2 or a Heroes for Higher show.

So far literally EVERYONE that I've seen complain about this show didn't actually pay attention to it.
>>
>>90875175
The action scenes with Finn Jones are just poorly executed/choreographed.

He's extremely slow and the fights are full of awkward cuts and angles meaning Finn Jones probably didn't rehearse enough or wasn't given enough time to rehearse.

TL:DR : The fights are fake to the point of breaking your suspension of disbelief.
>>
>>90875608
I don't know. Most complaints I see are:

1. Not enough action from a mystical martial arts based superhero and the fact that there's more corporate-board-meeting-fu than kung-fu.

2. The action that is there is mediocre at best.
>>
>>90875972
The action was subpar, and although Finn can act he couldn't do the required action scenes as he's clearly not a martial artist so it did fail in that regard.

It was still good even if the action scenes are only C grade at times.

Unfortunately unlike the other Marvel Netflix shows they chose the actor without consideration for the role and what it required.

We fell victim to Game of Thrones fame bullshit and it tainted Iron Fist. It looted that show for actors instead of being its own thing.

Just watched the first two episodes, still not grasping why he thought he could just stroll into Rand Corp. after being missing for 15 years, shoeless, unshaven and looking decidedly homeless, and NOT be taken for some kind of whacked out wino. And running up to his understandably freaked out childhood friend on the streets, insisting he's not going to hurt her, casually implying he broke into her house while she was at work? What?

Like, I get that Danny lived in K'un-Lun for a long time and that their culture is different from that of contemporary New York, but Danny still grew up in Manhattan. He played Monopoly as a kid, he went to company picnics, he owned a fucking iPod. This is a person that should be able to understand why looking like a hobo while making seemingly outrageous claims might cause his credibility to take a bit of a hit.

Did his time away from home just wipe his memory of how regular people behave or what?
>>

>>
>>90876151
Daredevil's Charlie Cox shows you that you don't even need a martial artist. Just a lot of rehearsing and clever stunt doubles.

Butt yeah, I'm 99% sure Finn Jones got the role just because of Game of Thrones hype.
>>
>>90876205
They are writing him like a 16 year old boy. Its a magic world were they give you 51% of a company if you prove your identity. also apparently he learned nothing on his journey to USA and will spend half the time acting out "blank check"
>he owned a fucking iPod
apparently he still owns the same iPod
>Did his time away from home just wipe his memory of how regular people behave or what?
its called retarded writing. you could play it off as him being unhinged a bit but they did not follow up on that
>>
>>90876205
>Did his time away from home just wipe his memory of how regular people behave or what?
He literally lived in a land of magic far longer than he ever did in New York, so yeah.

He was 10 meaning he was only really truly aware of stuff for about 4 years. I don't remember stuff from when I was 5-6
>>
>>90875972
action was ok, plot bringing it together was weak, corporate stuff was pure nonsense. drunken fist, sexy spider lady, etc all the type of shit that elsewhere would get its own ep ended up being a B plot here. danny's old friends get more development than him
>>
>>90876357
>Its a magic world were they give you 51% of a company if you prove your identity.
No, that's how it works in real life mate. Those shares always belonged to him and he wasn't dead.

There's precedent for that stuff FYI
>>90876357
>retarded writing
He only had like 4 years of conscious New York experience vs 15 of Kun Lun.
>>
>>90873885
Claire was insurable in this, she fails at everything and does not know what she wants but acts like a know it all. I would have lost it if her "killing is wrong no matter what" did not get scoffed at, with her weak comeback being "well Gandhi thought so" further underlined when gao threatens her mother and she goes all "if anything happens to my mother"

I think your brain is omitting the fact she's a nurse and has taken the nurse equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath; the Nightingale Pledge so she's upholding her oath

>"if anything happens to my mother"
And yeah...people have difficulty with controlling their emotions...WHICH WAS A HUGE THING THE SHOW RUBBED IN YOUR FACE
>>
>>90876482
>Those shares always belonged to him and he wasn't dead.
no the money equivalent to share value at the time of his disappearance belongs to him. 51% today would be bigger both in value and amount, also it would have owners, dead guys 51% are not just going site around doing nothing. only possibility is that they issued more shares (which would devalue other peoples shares, so no one would agree to that especially if it made him majority holder) most big company charters also have larger requirements on major issues so that a 51% dick can't bully the minority holders
>>
>>90876482
There is precedent for long legal battles followed by months of paperwork. Getting yourself declared legally not-dead isn't an easy thing to do.
>>
>>90876780
>no the money equivalent to share value at the time of his disappearance belongs to him.
No, you're forgetting those passed to the Meachums with his absence. They kept the 51% so as to maintain control of the company, but in the event that the line of ownership is overruled by new evidence such as a legal document/someone being alive and above them in succession it goes to them immediately as upheld by the law.

Ward was only going to be able to fillibuster it in court due to lack of hard evidence, I don't know how fast the fingerprint would have worked in the court system
>>
>>90876733
>I think your brain is omitting the fact she's a nurse and has taken the nurse equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath; the Nightingale Pledge so she's upholding her oath
its like saying BDSM is for everyone, because I do it. her talking an oath does not mean its for everyone and even people who have taken an oath would not get judgmental if you fucked up someone who killed your parents and has been part of kidnapping, torture, mutilation,etc. especially if someone from that persons organization bisected the doctors friend
>people have difficulty with controlling their emotions
except its not unforeseen, she had this type of situations before, hell even people who have not had them usually sit down and reflect on how they would react. knowing that and preaching differently is hypocrisy
>>
>>90876917
so they gifted all their shares to him, it does not mean they legally own them. If a dead guy leaves you 2 cows and you turn it into 200, it does not mean upon their resurrection they get the full herd. its not a trust fund
>fingerprint would have worked in the court system
They would basically need Meachums to confirm that it was indeed danny who made that ashtray(or whatever it was)
>>
>>90876931
Step back and take a look at yourself and the world.

Death is the ultimate end for something. If there was a chance at redemption for something, it is no longer. Death is a big deal, it shouldn't be trivialized.

>hypocrisy
She's willing to go to lengths that don't involve killing people you know, the hippocratic and nightingale don't bar you from defending your life or the lives of others.
>Do no harm
People don't realize that pacifism is the practice of empowering others to do harm, which is why to "do no harm" one must also defend themselves and others.

>>90876303
Not to mention editing that isn't straight up telling you they can't do their stunts.

What party of it is trivialized if you kill cartoonishly evil people? some of whom are literally no longer human and thus no longer get regular death.
>She's willing to go to lengths that don't involve killing people you know
like what? going to the cops? seriously they would not have to bail the russian guy for the second time had he not taken him to an infiltrated hospital. she claims to have more experience with the hand than danny and yet when people keep saying its a big organization with connections everywhere she keeps saying dumb shit like "lets got to the hospital, lets call the cops, bla bla bal" Its like she did not live under the kingpin.
