Marvel's Netflix Universe: Return of the Kingpin

[maxx]

Does the second half of the season get THAT much better?

I just finished it and no, Scott Buck fucked it all up. It is clear he just Zack Snydered it and knows nothing about the character. [details=Spoiler]They basically made him into shitty batman, they stripped Danny of all of his charm and just made him brooding. There is also way to much soap opera bullshit, it was one step away from Days of Our Lives. Danny got some bullshit no kill code that he never has had and tried to add way too much emotional bs that shouldn’t be There. There is also very very little fighting and the show assumes every character is as dumb and naive as possible. [/details]

I personally didn’t watch the last few seasons of Dexter but the complaints people had to that apply here, he fucked up Ironfist hard.

Spoiler

Danny is too childish and optimistic for brooding. Danny doesn’t want to kill because he wants to hold on to his identity as Danny Rand. It’s clear it’s expected of him to abandon his humanity to fulfill his duty as Iron Fist and that’s a major source of internal conflict for him.

that seems to be a theme among chosen warriors against the hand.

Yeah, i tried. Only a few more episodes left, but im done here. Shits trash. Those stupid ass warehouse fights in episode 8 were lol. Yeah, protect your product worth billions with just a bitch with a flimsy wushu straightsword, and a drunken style kung fu practitioner. LMAO. What is this trash.

I’ll finish it one day maybe. Its the worst of all the shows for sure. I really kept an open mind, but im like 70 percent done the show now, and ive gotten nothing out of it so far. Mediocre fights to say the least. No background in his training at kun lun yet. Even DD season 1 gave us a background episode of when sticks found him as a kid by like episode 5 or so. Colleen wing is a trash edition other than a cute face. Pretending she can beat anyone up at all is just tasking to constantly suspend disbelief for this chick.

I mean, even by episode 4 of luke cage you got his prison background story and shit. This is just a piece of shit show all around.

[angelpalm]

Too many directions, none of which were very captivating to me. Couple that with laughably bad fight scenes and yeah, episode 5 was my cut off point. Like I said I might check the rest of it out later but not in a hurry to do that.

Spoiler

still laughing at that scene with colleen punching the dude in the face after she mounts him with her stick arms. And you can tell she isn’t trying to hit his face on purpose and they add the lame cg blood to his face that isn’t even moving or showing any other visible signs from impact.

Spoiler

I legit think their inspiration for these fight scenes was kung fu the legend continues. Dude was david carridining the shit out of these bad guys with his slow wack ass movie wushu.

[angelpalm]

Lol but for real I would sniff the girl that played colleen wings butthole @million

Other than that, yeah fuck this shit

[Darc_Requiem]

I finished it. It was okay. I don’t hate it but I didn’t love it either. They need to get Daredevil’s fight choreographer if they do another season.

[Saitsu]

Looks like I"m missing nothing by skipping the show.

[jae_hoon]

Idk supposedly Buck is doing Defenders as well.

…welp this run was fun while it lasted.

[maxx]

i realized ive grown out of the wushu fantasy stage of my life. im diggin the show…not a crazy shit show everyone made it out to be.

Buck is doing Inhumans not Defenders.

I hope the show gets another season and have the balls to do K’un Lun. The more Gao I get the better.

I think it had more to do with budget and balls

The current PM/IF comic is a basically a mix of magic and street shit. Which would be cool to do with what has been established so far

def could see that. but i need my jokester danny…dude right now is like a less crazy daredevil atm. even dd show had alot more comedy.

[Hawkingbird]

Did Rza direct the Game of Death episode?

Yes.

[maxx]

But back to what Maxx was saying. Outside of stuff like Ip Man and Into The Badlands, I’ve grown out of most of the traditional Kung Fu movie shit.

I really like the actor they chose for Thunderer. He was awesome on Banshee.

into the badlands made it more brutal and impactful. i dont feel that in iron fist.

About Gao

Spoiler

Do they explain why she’s running the hand now or did I forget something from DD Season 2?

Spoiler

Bakuto explains that Gao runs her own faction of the Hand that focuses on running a drug operation. Bakuto leads his own sect

This show isn’t as bad as critics say, but it’s not good. For those that know more about the character’s lore, how was this interpretation of him? Right now he’s my least favorite of the Netflix protagonists which I’m pretty sure wasn’t the intent of the show

The interpretation of Danny was pretty off.

I’ve been having a hard time believing this guy’s Danny Rand from the moment I saw the trailer. It gets worse as the show goes on.

I have loved Iron fist since I was a kid so I was really stoked for this, it is a huge letdown. I don’t even blame the script, he can clearly do Danny. Just the writing is awful.
