Hawkeye couldn't carry a film. Now a Netflix series based on the Matt Fraction comic, that would be amazing.

Jeremy Renner looks like a slightly deflated Nathan Fillion, which is really distracting.

And now he's not even going to be in this one, shows how well that went. Now they seem to be setting up Henry Cavill as the torch-bearer moving forward. Which is great, because if Man From U.N.C.L.E. is anything to go by, Caville has really pulled the short straw far too many times in his roles and is primed for a role in a good franchise that lets him show his charm and magnetism. Tom Cruise is going to do it forever, he's cleared all his body thetans and has thus stopped aging.

Iron Fist is like if they sat everybody down in front of Daredevil season one and said, ok, see that? Do all of that on the first take because that's all the time and money we have. It's worse that the bad werewolf show from a few years back.

My opinion is a different opinion than this. raditts posted:Henry Cavill as in "charisma of a wet paper bag Superman" Henry Cavill? He wasn't exactly given a lot to work with. If you haven't seen Man from U.N.C.L.E. check it out - great film, and shows off what Cavill can do if actually written a proper character.

I will say that I watched the entire first season of Hemlock Grove (it's only like 6 episodes or something) because I found it so amusing. Iron Fist, so much less so.

But even Daredevil season 1 has the problem that its best fight by far is in the first episode and then 3/4ths of the show becomes about Kingpin.

Well, keep in mind that I wasn't saying that Daredevil was any good in particular, it just represents the high watermark for the Netflix Marvel stuff.

I don't know, I've been really enjoying having Iron Fist on in the background as I play Stellaris. It's very chill. I really like how so many of the fights are people just shoving each other a bit. Might be my favorite MCU/Netflix series.

I was reading so many old school Iron Fist comics in prep for the show and then the reviews started coming in and... let's just say I'm still enjoying all the old school Iron Fist comics.

Opinions from people who didn't actually watch the show are pretty useless. Edit: That was directed at the guy who played video games while watching the show, not the guy who likes reading the comics, because I assume he's not playing a video game while reading comics.

I was joking, I actually got sucked in pretty quick and started watching it straight. The relatively low-key fights are pretty novel compared to doing a bad job at something more extravagant.

I made it seven episodes into Iron Fist and I can watch almost anything. Second half Luke Cage had some bad moments but even that was good compared to any scene Danny Rand is in.
