Hope it's not true! the trailer was terrible; this looks like an easy pass. Between Legion, The Americans, & American Crime there's too much quality around to waste time on this.

DeadOne Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm but the reviews for this show (at least the first 6-episodes) are not good. I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaSealed Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I can't wait to watch the first couple episodes tonight. I put zero weight into these crazed PC reviewers. Almost everything bad they have to say is a derivative of a white man being very good at martial arts. It's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't Asian in the comics so why would he be Asian in this show. There is no white washing because there is nothing to white wash." Seems like that would be the end-all-be-all of that complaint. Not that I want to speak for people, but I'm pretty confident in what I'm about to say here. Those making the complaint would just say cultural appropriation doesn't have a statute of limitations. It isn't the type of complaint you can reason people out of if, they just feel like not 'fixing' it now just means you're extending the problem.

NinjaSealed Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 It's available on netflix now. I am several episodes in, For the people didn't think Luke Cage and Jessica Jones were superhero shows, people REALLY won't think this is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anfield Fox Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 2 episodes in and i have no idea what the critics are on about. Really enjoying it. Sure It's a bit slow but so were the others. piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does The Americans get better? I know its on its 4th season, but its not on Netflix so I would have to keep renting it. I do like the 80s theme.

Binge watching it since my wife is out late tonight, it's pretty good, but in the first 5 episodes there is maybe 4 minutes of total fighting. There are a few problems but it is watchable. Several of the scenes that critics were blasting it for I thought were completely blown out of proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I just finished the first episode. The critics are insufficiently_thoughtful_persons. There is NOTHING wrong with this show. I enjoyed the first episode it was well done with back flashes and set up. Its just like other Marvel TV shows just slow at the beginning.

Those who watch the show, know the characters and don't feel they have to go against the grain to be heard have the right to make the judgement. Those people would be us. Episode 3 is when I started to really enjoy the show. Edited March 18, 2017 by comicquant ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 2nd episode finished and I could easily watch another one. Nothing wrong with Iron Fist other then just being slow. Critics on the other hand are smoking something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeklo Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I just finished the first episode...yeah, not much of a super hero show based off that but still kinda interesting. My problem with it...and it's not really a spoiler so I'm not hiding it...I hate scenarios where a person has to convince another person of who they are. Shows and movies draw this out for drama, like this show does, when I'm thinking the "real world" way of handling it is to mention something from the past that proves it. Of course the other people refuse to listen like they have something better to do. I just hope they get past this "Is he the real Danny Rand?" question in the next episode.

Wall-Crawler Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I just finished episode one, others will have to wait. The show is fine, like all of Marvel's Netflix shows there is a bit of pacing issue but Iron Fist, in my opinion is a good (so far). I think with success that Marvel has had, it is becoming "cool" to hate on them? They have a formula, it works and they are sticking to it. I honestly do not know why the critics "hate it" this much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
