I saw a promo about Coleen Wing in Iron Fist and wished she was the main character instead (and no boring-rear end) Danny, why can't we have nice things

Did they strip most of the supernatural stuff out of Iron Fist? I can see them having a struggle figuring out his origin when 3/4 of the Defenders get their powers from science experiments gone wrong, While Danny gets his from punching a dragon in the heart. I get that they'd want to try and make him fit better in the mini-universe they created, but that stuff is the thing that makes him a bit less of a third rate Batman/Arrow/etc. Also disappointed that the failure of this likely means no live action Fat Cobra

They apparently don't actually get to his origin in the 6 episodes shown to critics.

Ah yes, let's play coy with the most interesting thing about a c-lister! We'll rake in the cash on brand recognition and casting alone!

To be fair this seems to be close to the Netflix Marvel way, ie not putting the character into costume until the final episode. It seems like the formula is to be a 10 episode origin story.

I will say that if you go back and look at the pre-release reviews for Bojack Horseman, they are all negative because the series really didn't come into it's own until the second half. Critics only got the first six so maybe it'll be better in the end  Also I feel like the glowing (and deserved) reviews for Luke Cage's pre-release might have been worse if they saw all 12 eps. So maybe it'll turn out to have a great back half! Now to take a sip of water as I look at showrunner Scott Buck's filmography....

There's been no Marvel Netflix show yet where the back half was better than the first half. All of them should've been cut to 8 Eps (which Defenders thankfully is)

Then go on youtube and watch the Method Man cameo and the Shades interrogation scene so that you don't miss those parts. The first four episodes of DD S2 are some of the best stuff ever filmed by Marvel so don't sleep on that.

For me DD season 2 fell apart completely in the second half of it's season and never knew quite well what it wanted to do with Elektra. JJ was probably the most consistent from beginning to end, DD season 1 at least seemed to know what it was trying to do.

I still think it's got a solid chance to be a reverse Luke Cage and be good in the back half.

They should've gotten an actual kung fu guy instead of the fop from Game of Thrones.

Here's the other poo poo I was talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T96vjUlr06Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ2tGCYZWG8 Though according to the internet the Luke Cage one happens in episode 3, so I'm gonna give Iron Fist 3 episodes before I get dissapointed in the lack of violence. and here's the original hallway fight that started the trend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B66feInucFY fun fact, they do camera tricks that if you're the kinda fucker (like me) look like they're trying to make multiple takes look like one take, but it's actually just to hide switching between Charlie Cox and his stunt double.

That chuckle he gives right after he pulls the trigger is amazing. I'm really sad they won't take at least him to the big screen. The guy does a great job as Daredevil and I really want him to hang out with Spider-Man

Amazon fixed The Tick's costume for the full show, looks a lot better than the weirdly overdetailed one from the pilot.

Every iteration of the Tick has been great in it's own way and different enough while maintaining the spirit of the Tick. It kinda reminds me of the Hitchhiker's Guide in that way.

It definitely has a darker tone like the original comics run, which is still potentially my favorite Tick.

It's not touching the cartoon. It's doing it's own thing. Arthur spends the whole episode wondering if the guy in the blue suit is even real because he is suffering PTSD from having seen his world's most famous heroes killed by being blinded by weaponized syphilis then shot in their faces.
