Came out today I believe, has anyone watched any of it? Watched the first two episodes so far. Really slow start but it's intriguing enough I think, I'd say it lacks the punch(ironyyy) that Daredevil had initially but being part of this series it's obviously worth giving it a chance to develop further. Not much I can say for the characters so far, nobody is really bad but nobody is particularly excellent either. But maybe my perception is skewed from having just finished Season 2 of Daredevil, the relationships between all the characters in Daredevil are great. As for spoilery stuff, nothing too major first two episodes are all set-up. Spoiler: click to toggle Hope Daredevil and Iron Fist have a sparring match at some point, it'll be interesting to see how all these characters interact. Also need to see if Iron Fist can knock Luke Cage out, my guess is yes. |

I just talked to a co-worker about this yesterday and I already forgot about it lol. I'll give it a watch this weekend. I saw an interview where they said the build up is pretty slow but worth it. Unfortunately there is only one good way to find out. |

Watching the first episode. So far I'm not impressed and from reviews it doesn't seem like it's gonna get better. But if David Wenham is great, I'll watch it all the way through. |

Oh yeah I never knew he was in it, he seems good so far. These series definitely benefit from the older, more experienced and recognizable actors littered throughout them. For me it's mainly how slow it is that's a negative, so far. I hear it's more "cheesy" than the others which is apparently a negative but if Arrow and The Flash are still popular then I doubt it's all that bad, probably just doesn't have as deep or dark a narrative as the others. EDIT Okay yeah 5 episodes in this is really slow, I can see why it's had bad reviews. It's better than them having added a crap ton of artificial conflict but they could have done something more with Colleen surely? Get some action flow going on. Or maybe The Hand could do stuff sooner. Just seems like everything is going slow for a climax in The Defenders but...that just makes Iron Fist unsatisfying, this far in at least.

It's a real shame that this got bad reviews, though understandable. I really like the cast, I think they are all very good (maybe with the exception of the main lead). However the story is super-lacking and seems like rehashed Daredevil stuff. I get that they are building up The Hand as a sinister organization, but I don't think they are doing it right. However, hopefully, I think this series will be a bit redeemed by the time The Defenders come out. |

It seems very few people liked this show the moment the first episode aired, I had the feeling it would get this response. It's a shame that not even these MCU-somewhat related shows can use asian characters, because Danny being played by a non-asian guy is really weird. Edited by Darker, Mar 20 2017, 12:48 PM.

Was really Danny Rand asian in the comics? I can't really find any evidence of this, at least not full-proof. |

Thought he was, it seems like he's caucasian (which I now remember, he was a blondie from new york iirc). I never actually bothered to look it up, I thought that was the reason as to why there was an outrage about Danny being some random white guy in the show, but it's just people bitching about the fact that he should represent the asian-american crowd. |

He's a rich kid from New York, I don't understand why he should 'represent' the asian-american culture. |

Yeah I think they've jumped the gun with The Hand for sure, the climax to all this will be in The Defenders so Iron Fist is just...there really. I don't think it would have been as bad if Danny just appeared at the end of Daredevil and was all "I'm here to help" Introduce him earlier like they did with Luke Cage in Jessica Jones, then they could have got to the proverbial meat of this series faster. 5 episodes in and it still feels like nothing has really happened. I think individually the cast is all great but they completely lack the kind of synergy the Daredevil crew have, Matt, Foggy, Karen, Claire and Ben all feel(or felt, RIP) like a group of real people and all of them are interesting together and alone. Well, Madame Gao is badass at least. Colleen is pretty cool too. |

Finished the series now... That was...really quite boring. The climax to it was pretty decent but compared to the huge and dull buildup it hardly made it worth it. I think they should have structured this the same way Arrow is structured despite the criticism's we don't get enough information on Being fed more info gradually would have made Danny a more appealing protagonist, as is we only see one side of him. Without a doubt I wouldn't have enjoyed this series without Harold Meachum, he was an interesting, twisted and well acted character. Spoiler: click to toggle Feels like the whole series was holding back as if it thinks magic and mysticism are too big a stretch so they don't want to show us more...even though Doctor Strange was a massive hit and barely anyone didn't like the involvement of magic. If this had had more warrior monks, people flying around similar to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and doing similarly crazy stuff it would have been much more exciting. Iron Fist is just a regular dude that occasionally punches things with a glowy hand. Very occasionally and very regular. |

It's not terrible it just doesn't feel like it goes anywhere, a constant buildup to something that never happens. Which will probably happen in Defenders, well hopefully. |

I finished watching this a few weeks ago and I have to say it is my least favorite marvel show that I've seen on Netflix so far. I knew nothing about the Iron Fist so I felt like I really had to watch this so I could understand The Defenders. I do not predict that I will have the urge to re-watch this, ever.
