The idea of Iron Fist being the most-watched Marvel Netflix show so far is so, so weird to me.

My parents called like a week ago and asked if they would like Iron Fist, because it came up recommended for them. They watch a ton of political and legal dramas, and it was probably that which made it get suggested to them since a big part of Iron Fist is the corporate espionage. When I told them it was about a kung fu guy with a magic fist and he was going to be in a team up with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, they said they had no idea it was a comic book thing.

I was gonna say something like that too, I feel like I saw way more promotion from Netflix for iron fist than any of the others. Heck I don't think they even let me know Luke cage was coming out until it showed up as watchable

I mean, it's hard for me to say Netflix was lying outright about Iron Fist's numbers, but considering how thoroughly panned the show was, they needed SOME excuse to renew it. Also, they can cover it up with "He's busy working on Inhumans" all they want, but I guarantee you, Scott Buck was shitcanned for the poor critical response. If he wasn't, they'd be promoting from within like Marco Ramirez and Doug Petrie were on Daredevil. Not that "guy who wrote for Sleepy Hollow, Heroes Reborn, and Falling Skies" should fill you with any great hope for a comeback, but Marvel and Netflix know what the gently caress's up. Even more reckless speculation: The only reason why Buck is still employed on Inhumans is that they don't need it to look like any more of a landfill fire than it already does.

The best part of the Defenders is how much everyone shits on Danny Rand.

Iron Fist is like Star Trek Voyager. Critics and genre fans pan it, but ask some random person online which show they liked best and they'll say Iron Fist.

Unless they are also lying that their Sandler movies are their most watched properties, I'll believe anything about the American viewing public. Just because critics thought IF sucked (full disclosure I haven't seen it) doesn't mean people didn't like it. I remember even around here a lot of people saying it wasn't as bad as the reviews said, which you wouldn't expect.

How is Tuvok any different from any other Vulcan? At least T'Pol likes jazz music and her Vulcan AIDS makes her interesting. Now Tuvix I can get behind.

Mu Zeta posted:How is Tuvok any different from any other Vulcan? At least T'Pol likes jazz music and her Vulcan AIDS makes her interesting. Tuvok is character who portrays living the Vulcan lifestyle as a practice. Not something he did and then he is that way now, or something he is lying to himself about being, but something that is a constant struggle to maintain a chosen countenance and mindset. His character reflects the way that real-life monks practice meditation and continually try to address and improve their flaws. Often in Star Trek, you have flaws in Vulcan logic pointed out by other characters. Tuvok is one of the only Vulcans who constantly works to address and examine his own flaws. Which are many. Where TOS shows Vulcans as more or less innately logical beings, and ENT shows Vulcan intellectualism as a crumbling facade of bullshit, VOY portrays it as a a practice that must be maintained. Too bad about the rest of the show, though.

My wife smokes those Camel Crush jobs and I have a few of those a day. I'm 3 months in to my No Vape holiday @ work. Helps I don't smoke weed with tobacco like the rest of this backwards country. No cravings anymore, i think i'm cured.

No it doesn't, it makes it go further because getting good weed is rare in this country. Thankfully the local crimelords are getting danker. Edit: anyone with the munchies check the Agent's of SHIELD thread.

Also everyone i've spoken to in real life about marvel netflix shows liked Iron fist. IRQ posted:After the movie I'm confident that firefly was good only because it didn't get the chance to get bad. Also late to whedon chat but kudos to IRQ for entering his 12th year of posting whenever he gets the chance about how much he dislikes the well received and good film Joss Whedon's Serenity.

I'd genuinely like to see what actually gets viewed the most on netflix after high profile lowest common denominator stuff like this. The top 20 would be really illuminating. We'll never see it though.

The Marvel Netflix shows depress me, because it was such a good opportunity for more good serialized fantastical martial arts action. Outside of Kung-Fu, have their been any other good martial arts-based TV shows?

I'd be totally open to any Asian shows as well if those are known around these parts, that's a huge blindspot in my knowledge. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Aug 23, 2017 |

That seems like an opinion someone who actually liked Serenity would have. Checks out.
