GuyUpNorth posted:IIRC those tights in all their variations are ceremonial. If Defenders ever gets there, I could see Matt pulling "I know a guy" at Danny and latter gets green-yellow kevlar or something. I like that idea a lot. And they could have fun with it. "No, Danny, no padding."

Yeah, I like the idea of the Defenders basically having to coach Danny into being a proper super hero. Complete with snark when Danny suggests Jessica get a proper costume too.

Jessica's costume is the sweet smell of bourbon.

SunshineDanceParty posted:It is pretty funny that they didn't aim for a baseline of make sure the fight scenes are great for their martial arts superhero. All the problems with the show would have been more forgivable if they had just hit that obvious point. I'm quoting this post from months ago because this is exactly how I feel about the Iron Fist series. All I was expecting was good kung fu fights. I didn't get that.

STAC Goat posted:They definitely should just give Danny the mask. That's a good idea actually. Not real geeked on Defenders. Much more looking forward to DDs3, LKs2 and Punisher. Still think a Moon Knight series would be a great idea though. You could be grounded and weird with it at the same time depending on how mystical you wanted to get with it and how much of that poo poo might just be inside Marc Spector's head because he's a crazy schitzo.

What if Iron first is purposely bad to make sure the rest of the series are seen as really good? He’s basically Wimp Lo

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Maybe we should poo poo on Iron Fist some more. I'm Jonesin' for it. I finished Iron Fist and... same opinions as before. The production values are high, the SFX is well done, the fight choreography is good. The acting in general is quite good, and Jones honestly isn't horrible. But, the writing... ugghhh, so cliche, so predictable. People betray Danny and others ally with him, then the allies betray him and the previous guys join him, back and forth 84327 times. Except for Claire, who has appeared on other shows so of course she's a good person. Whenever there was a pause in the dialog, I could guess the next line with 95% certainty. "Doubt leads to..." fear? hesitation? No, of course, "death". Even the 'twist' ending was no surprise. I'm very cautiously looking forward to Defenders. Most likely it will be good, despite the short length, but you never know, suckage can slip in at any time. FAKE EDIT: no Stan Lee cameo?

I do have to admit, although the fighting in general is good, the Inverse Ninja Law was in full effect. Danny can take down ten guys effortlessly, but one guy takes ten minutes.

When directors jump cut *that* much in a fight scene, it's almost always because the actors are unable to pull it off.

Other superheroes, it's like, this rare extra terrestrial mineral renders him powerless, her PTSD causes self-destructive behaviors, his great strength comes with uncontrollable rage. Iron Fist's weakness is surprise. Take him by surprise and he's powerless.

DD dealt with the failings of the justice system, JJ was about abuse and trauma and LC dealt with race. Iron Fist is about a rich white kid ditching his responsibilities and obligations so he can go back to being a billionaire. That's not a story that a lot of people can relate to in this day and age.

He didn't buy a Ferrari or a gold-plated pen or a gold-plated Ferrari or whatever else it is that billionaires buy. About all he bought was a mediocre suit and one expensive dinner. And at the very end, he was going to return to K'un L'un, where his money would have been meaningless.

Given a few of the things they said while they were filming it, I agree with the person a while back who said it's irritatingly close to, but not, a show about Buddhist philosophy. EDIT: Also Scott Buck ran it so they called it a "family drama," because that's what he "does." Nobby fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Aug 6, 2017 |

About all he bought was a mediocre suit and one expensive dinner. That makes him even worse. This rear end in a top hat is literally just hoarding his wealth instead of spending or productively investing it. Not to mention that he's a billionaire which forces me to ask when are we going to get to see the Cayman or Delaware accounts he almost certainly has adresssed. Beyond selling medicine at cost (gently caress you pension funds who invested in us) he did literally nothing altruistic with his unfathomable wealth throughout the season. Does Rand vote??? Point is that Rand is a very problematic character in 2017. Batman gets away with it because Batman is an unapologetic rear end in a top hat.

Bruce Wayne is also often portrayed as a philanthropist. Danny Rand is just a rich rear end in a top hat who got back into town from his gap year.

He also has intentionally put someone in charge of the day to day who is shown to be both not an incompetent fuckwit and interested in doing good for both the company and city. Which is generally what the comics use Hogarth for, but instead Danny makes one decision and then spends the rest of the show fighting the drug dealing ninjas who have secretly infiltrated his company at the request of the other 50% sharholder who has only been pretending to be dead. The corporate structure of Rand Inc. makes no goddamn sense in Netflix Iron Fist. Which I guess is fair sense their business actions and policies don't seem to make a lick of sense either.

I watched every episode except the last one over the course of a weekend. It didn't make my eyes catch on fire but it wasn't super great, it was decent fodder for the roommates and I to complain about and have a good time. I haven't watched the last episode yet because I just don't care about how it ends

If your expectation is "anywhere near as good as the other Defenders" then it's pretty bad. As far as TV in general, there are things to enjoy throughout the series; it's just that none of them have the camera pointed at the Iron Fist.
