At least you can talk. Who are you?
The initial deal with Netflix/ABC/Marvel/Whoever was for 60 episodes of television, 13 from every series and then eight from Defenders.
We don't know if they have to stick with that after they're finished and move on to Daredevil S3, JJ S2, Luke Cage S2 however.
Daredevil S2 was 13 episodes FWIW, and Punisher will be too.

YOU FUCKED UP DANNY.
This is what I was scared of, and fucking Scott Buck made my nightmares come true. Iron fist is one of my favorite Marvel characters so it hurts to see his big debut fumbled like this.
Goddamnit, TV.

Defenders later this summer and Punisher this fall also so WHEW.
At least the Netflix side of the MCU will bounce back fast.

Well that doesn't bode well. I'm more worried about Inhumans being fucked more than anything else.
The same guy who did Iron Fist is doing Inhumans?

Yep...
Ah crap-baskets. Hopefully it turns out better, but I'm tempering my expectations.

I love the costumes, but it feels weird seeing Thor with short hair.Thor...
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Glad to finally see something from Ragnarok. As a massive Iron Fist fan I don't even think I will bother watching it
A massive Iron Fist fan wouldn't skip it because some stranger he's never met said mean things about it.

Some stranger, no.
Several strangers including critics he or she largely agrees with, maybe.
Still can't believe they fucked up one of my favorite heroes. Thanks, Scott.

whoa
You mean Elders of the Universe? No.
Yeah, though I strictly meant MCU. I know they don't in the comics.

Hela, Grandmaster and Valkyrie look great!
But gonna take some time for me to get use to short-haired Thor.

I prefer it tbh, he looks badass in the comics atm with his short hair and metal arm
Yeah I just like to pretend Im a fan...
To elaborate:
* reviews are bashing it
* the trailers have BORED me
* everything I have read doesn't sound like the show I am after.
If GAF turns around and says its Ok maybe I'll try it but I have no interest and thats a worry.

Considering the glowing reviews of LC and JJ, I'm not worried.
Looking Hela hot
Yeah, seriously. Wow.

A massive IF fan also doesn't have to shovel an obviously crappy looking show down their mouth either. Blind fanboyism doesn't help anyone. There can be poor and/or outright terrible shows or films created by Marvel. In fact, it's bound to happen. Pretending every one of their projects is perfect isn't helpful to anyone.
I'm also a huge fan of the character and it sounds like they simply aren't respecting the material here, plus miscast characters, plus utilized a poor showrunner. That's a lot of smoke so there probably is fire. Of course everyone should check things out on their own and make their own judgment call. But the reception is overwhelmingly negative so it's very likely how most people will feel about what they have created in this instance.

Yeah, you'd think the show had killed people's dogs gauging by some of the reactions on this forum.

I think that it's OK to not want to watch something that has had negative reviews and bad promotional material. I'd rather use what little time I have on something better.

I'll watch. My expectations are set so low now that maybe it will surprise me.

People can watch or not watch. Any one person should definitely try to form their own opinion. My point is everyone should do what they feel is right.
The negative reviews aren't just a handful, they're the overwhelming majority. With that in mind it makes sense that some people, even gigantic IF & Marvel fans, may want to skip it and do something else with 13 hours of their life. And that's okay. I just don't think it's alright to try to say someone is not a "True Fan" (or w/e you want to say) because they won't gobble it up on principle of it being the new Marvel show.

I'll watch it. I've read plenty of terrible issues of my favourite comics. Shit happens.

I read every Ultimate Marvel event, and Axis. I'm prepared for the worst.
You got some people with like 20000 neogaf posts talking about they dont want to "waste time" checking out a couple episodes of a TV show featuring a Marvel character they claim they like.
It's just kind of hilarious to me. You ain't gotta binge watch all 13 hours to call yourself a fan and you ain't gotta start cutting yourself because it got some bad reviews.
I watched the first 6 episodes of Supergirl. Still alive.

Mate you are blowing everything out of proportion. You're kind of hilarious to me.
No one mentioned anything like you said. I don't have anywhere near 20000 posts either.
Show looks and sounds boring its that simple.
