You can’t. Iron Fist is the only other show that covers the Hand who are the main villains of Defenders. Colleen Wing and Madam Gao will be on the show. Iron Fist matters.
I read a wikia summary. Got the gist of things, just still feel it will be better to actually see it you know? But as polarizing as the show seems to be my gut is telling me to skip. But idk, i may end up watching. I got 2 other shows and Daredevil season 2 to get through before I decide lol
They took way too long to get to the meat of things in the first season. Good writing, along with much better fight choreography will go a long way to fixing Iron Fist’s problems.
Finn needs to hit the gym too. We’re really supposed to believe that scrawny white guy has been training since he was a kid to be a living weapon. Soccer players are more ripped.
It’s a martial arts series and they cast a dude that doesn’t look athletic and didn’t make him get in fighting shape. Look at literally any UFC fighter, fighters look that way for a reason, Chi or not.
If you watch MMA. You’d see that usually the super jacked guy isn’t the best fighter. Anderson Silva pulled off real life Matrix level things in the Octagon and he never looked jacked.
Fight choreo is important too, but at least basic storytelling and stuff has a chance to be better now with Buck out of the house. IF Season 1 wasn’t the garbage fire I thought it would be, but it’s still the worst Netflix show as of now.
