...the black SUV does not turn into a cab. The black SUV "swerves" because it's arriving to pick up that lady.

It's still a really bad show though.

It does turn into a cab due to the editing, even though there's a physical cab behind. There's real-life logic and there's IF logic.

You can see the yellow cab from the instant you can see the black suv. It's not great editing for the scene, but it's nowhere near as bad as it's being made out to be.

In terms of the Netflix characters I find it unrealistic that JJ would hang out with Danny Rand for more than 0 seconds.




Especially when one of those two people can super punch holes through people that annoy them, and the other is Danny Rand who of course cannot because reasons.

Hell, I'm not overly familiar with the comics, but aren't Danny and Luke supposed to be super close? That seems almost as unlikely to me. Matt and Danny could brood and pout together I guess.

I seriously hope Netflix Marvel doesn't go all-in with Danny because of sunk cost. Just, if it doesn't work, don't do it. If he and Luke are a chemistry black hole, don't bother.

My hope now is that the Shang-Chi series that was rumored happens, is good in all the ways Iron Fist should've been, and Shang-Chi steals Danny's life. He bros out with Luke Cage, and bangs Misty Knight, and does sick looking kung-fu while Danny practices tai chi.

At first I figured he thought the jump was silly, but he was just confused about what happened.

I still don't understand why he didn't try telling a personal story in that scene instead of the jump.

I'm ready for fat Danny. His kung fu was so weak in season one, he needs to gain a lot of mass for season 2...

edit: gently caress it, just recast Danny as Rob McElhenney. He's got a much better physique and his martial arts skills are at least as good.

Danny doesn't care about funding R&D because it's all done by a bunch of stupid science bitches.

Considering how differently sensitive to race the Luke Cage and Iron Fist series were, I think having Danny learn about race and racism as an adult (with missteps at first like the above) via Cage would be the best thing they could do with Danny "Sucky Punch" Rand. Edit: and would explain an actual bond between them later on.

It's kind of dumb in retrospect how they gave DD the one iconic thing other than the chest tattoo that defines Iron Fists costume, so now they can't actually give it to Iron Fist.

The cab driver is probably Danny's homeless friend who he bribed to make him look cool. Danny later killed him to cover it up.

Hopefully if they do a season 2 they use the Immortal Weapons storyline and have Orson come in and teach him how to not be the shittiest Iron Fist. Of course in my head we're also using tales of past Iron Fists from the The Book of the Iron Fist as filler so Netflix gets their 13 episodes and the show runs a tight story instead of stretching it out.

A 3rd season can be the tournament arc and the 8th city. That should give Finn enough time to get a few more pounds of muscle and get good enough at movie kung fu to hold his own across from the other immortal weapons.

What's sad is that the car jump and the first time he breaks into Joy's house are the only two times he does anything physical that is remotely impressive. He should have been doing way more super jumps and poo poo.

Instead later on when they had him jump on a fire escape it looks pathetic, like Iron Fist can barely do a pull up or two.

Not really. He was stabbing Renly for years, but Renly never died from it. :v:

Other than that, just complaining about brooches and shaving dudes and hanging out in church and talking about being such a good fighter

Everything that needed to be said, has been already but then you see something like Into the Bandlands fight camp:

you have to wonder how a show with presumably much less budgeting has much better atmosphere and fighting. Also that apparently the Kung Fu master's name is Dee Dee.
