Is season 2 worth watching if I got like 2/3 of season 1 and then got fed up?

Eh. Joy's motivation is stupid and Danny is pretty much the same but the season is only 10 episodes long. It's not as bad as the Arrow shows.

I have to admit. I'm confused as to why the evil tea ceremonies in ep4 required three prostitutes.

I do not understand why anyone would be sad that Davos took the Iron fist. Danny facilitated triad war and Davos kills them all. Its pretty cut and dry

Its pretty cut and dry A lot of these shows, but especially iron fist s2 seem to do this weird thing with almost elevating murderous gangsters to pillars of the community. All Danny does do is help the triads and broker between them. Heck, the opening scene is him saving triad money from being stolen. Davos seems to be literally the only one who cares about a shopkeeper being stuck up for protection money by these gangs. The only thing Danny cared about was the punk kids muscling in on established protection racket and being worried they would screw things up. He didn't give 2 shits about the initial status quo that this dude is being bled by criminals. Of course, davos has to go nuts and kill the shopkeeper because the show has to make sure you know that Davos is supposed to be the bad guy

ep 6 I like when going after Davos Mary couldn't account for the fact that Danny was the worst Iron Fist ever and never learned more than the basics of his powers.

That’s the problem with Superhero TV shows. iron Fist punches things. supergirl is a god with one weakness yet they made an entire show about how much she struggles to win.

Near the end of S2E7: Aside from most of the people being selfish douchebags, I'm an apologist for Finn's awful take on Rand. But it's because I think only Misty, Ward, and Mary Walker are capable of acting through the chum bucket slop of a script that was crafted. The rest of the cast are only able to contain 90% of their cringe, resulting in the weird deliveries.

K'un-Lun was just a place full of awful people. I mean Season 1 made it look like Danny was the immature rear end in a top hat who abandoned them with barely some plan and almost zero focus on a goal or purpose. But then Season 2 happens and oh boy. Are they all dead now? I seem to recall something like that from end of Season 1, or start of Defenders. Because if so, good.

IF S2 is totally okay, its worst crime is being very slow-paced at the beginning. Damning with faint praise but it's way better than JJ S2.

IF S2 over. Beginning was awful, last 2 episodes weren't too awful. "Damning with faint praise" really is the key here. Also, I sort of tuned out a large amount of episodes 7 and 8 because I was wrapping up my first Chrono Trigger playthrough in a while. The ending setup looks like S3 might not suck, but it will. Oh and add Eyepatch Guy to the list of actors that knew how to work with the lovely script.

So going by the comments it seems like the show still isn't worth watching?

Rule of thumb: goons are generally very quick to claim something that they liked is now bad, but very slow to do the reverse. I've only seen the first two episodes, but the show's entertaining and shows potential. For what that's worth.

I have two episodes left. I like superheroes, martial arts and most of the supporting cast, but Finn is a bad actor. It’s better than Season 1 and maybe JJS2, but just barely.

If you like the other Netflix Marvel shows it's worth watching. It's not great by any means, but I'm enjoying it.

The fight scenes are much better, partly because Finn has actually taken some lessons, but mostly because he's not in all that many fight scenes.

Yea, the show isn't unwatchable. But it's the type where you have to vent your frustrations as you watch.

Was anyone else confused for a few minutes when they started talking about a "Walker" who had taken pictures of Danny and Colleen? I was half expecting Trish to show up.

I found myself enjoying Ward's scenes a lot, but the show was at its best in the final five minutes. Going with a glowing chi sword? Gun fu? I was getting bored of how much the Iron Fist was just a move to punch the floor with, and I'm glad it looks like they might be prepared to embrace the goofy nature of this show. As much as everyone hates Finn, I kind of like him? I don't think his acting is too hot or anything, but I feel bad. I don't even know why. Also, please give us that spinoff with Colleen and Misty Netflix. Those two are great together, and there's even a comic book precedence!

They should replace Iron Fist with a Daughters of the Dragon show and just have Danny be a secondary character. I don't mind Finn, it's just the character of Danny is written to be too naive.

Yeah, it's much better than JJ S2 slog of keeping Murder Mommy from murdering and failing. Strom Cuzewon posted:The fight scenes are much better, partly because Finn has actually taken some lessons, but mostly because he's not in all that many fight scenes. The fights are better, but on the other hand (or fist!) there weren't that many memorable ones like the Drunken Master or Bakuto in S1. I do want a third season, but would also be okay with a 6 episode mini-series of the Daughters of the Dragon.

The Crane Sisters (and the Crane Mother) are a whole thing in the comics from when Davos became the Steel Phoenix. No idea why they were dressed like they walked off the set of Cleopatra 2525 in this adaptation.

Okay that was a hot mess but it was a fun hot mess. Typhoid was wasted on this season, but I've been waiting since literally Daredevil Season 1 for her, and I'm really glad her actress nailed the part. I was really hoping for the "WHAT AM I WEARING?!" scene from the comics but I understand in live action serious business Netflix that's not a possibility. Should've kept their powder dry, though, and not wasted her debut on Iron Fist's writers  Interested to see how the actress handles Bloody Mary. Maybe they'll give her all her powers instead of just being, y'know, a thoroughly deranged psychopath. Pillowpants posted:It’s better than Season 1 and maybe JJS2, but just barely.

That stuff honestly feels like they filmed it after the season had already wrapped up when someone completely different took hold of the show and decided to make it fun. How can those fun things exist in the same show where the only move the iron fist users did all season was punching the floor to knock people down? Not to mention how pathetic it makes Danny look when Davos having TWO IRON FISTS is supposed to be this terrifying surprise. I just kind of assumed he could always do that if the situation had called for it. PS:

I'm almost done with Iron Fist Season 2. I like it a lot. They made good use of the themes of addiction and making peace with those close to you. The supporting cast gives it some zip, too. It's better than Defenders, IF S1, and substantial chunks of JJ and Daredevil.

I'm on ep 6 and I'm not hating it so far! The first couple episodes didn't really grab me but by the dinner in episode 3 I was invested, and felt like I actually cared how it played out. Alice Eve is pretty good too, I only knew her from eye candy roles so it's nice to see that she can act.

It was better than the first season but mostly because of everything not Danny. I really wish that when Davos got the dragon's heart he was able to do the full body glow of Iron Fists past, even if for a few seconds, just to show how lovely Danny is.

Mary was good, Ward was good, and Davos was right. All the Triad dicksucking was ridiculous. Wanna see a show where Bushmaster teams up with Davos or a Punisher/Mary crossover.
