Or maybe the next two Avengers films are about Captain America and how it must feel being the figure of hope in a hopeless situation, where Death herself is against your victory.

2 episodes into Iron Fist and I think it's good so far.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Well, you must be wrong. The internet told me that Iron Fist is a disaster.

Same. Cueing up episode 3 right now.

My biggest complaint is Danny is so damn skinny. That, and the fighting is cool, but kinda slow. Like you can sometimes see them counting steps in their head.
He's not that skinny, plus he can bulk up for Defenders or other future appearances.

That was the worst offending scene of it I've seen so far, but yeah.
And yeah, he's pretty bird chested lol. Think it's too late for him to bulk up for the Defenders. But a little more muscle would be appreciated for the second season lol

Logically, would he be all muscled up at this moment in his timeline? I think skinny and in shape works for someone who just rolled in from K'un-Lun. But definitely have him hit the weights a little harder for S2.
Yes, please.

I don't know. I don't have a problem with his looks but I think the idea is that he was already that skinny and training would have at least made him more cut than that.
I think I'm with this. I'm okay with a skinny Iron Fist in the same way that I generally prefer a skinny Spider-Man - the power isn't really from the muscles.
Good point, actually.

All I want in life right now is a GIF of Danny and
in the park with their lines about "Why is everyone on me about the way I look?" "This is New York City. It matters." or whatever they say. (That spoiler tag is just in case people don't know
is in the show.)
EDIT: I'm watching episode three now. Is that penthouse the same as the one in season two of Daredevil? It looks crazy familiar for some reason.

Thunderbolts, pls. Then maybe Guardians 3 in 2023.

Even when Spider-Man is skinny, he has muscle. You don't have to be completely swole to have a strong look to you.
Only got 3 episodes to go. I like the show, but it definitely has its problems. Weakest of the MCU shows for sure.

Just started it
Its very weird but has good moments
I can see why it got bad reviews but I dont hate it so far..... It is delightfully bizarre. I gotta say each of of these shows is very different
I'm seriously enjoying Iron Fist a whole damn lot right now, but I only finished Episode 2. Even my mother who hates everything Marvel likes this. And I love Danny Rand. To me, so far it's better than Jessica Jones and Luke Cage but it can quickly plummet later on likes what happened to Luke Cage last half.

I am nearing the end of the season now, and I think I've endured the plummet. Or am enduring; I'm hoping it ends on a slightly better note.
Netflix really needs to vary Marvel season lengths and even episode lengths.
Not about any of the movies/shows but Ike Perlmutter finally has a new picture.

Three actually. He attended some veterans affairs event. It's a pretty clear picture of him.

OH that's David Wenham.Domhnall Gleeson looks more like David Wenham than he does Brendan Gleeson.
I thought that was Domnhall and you were burying the lede.
Point taken.
The photo is of David Wenham, he's in Iron Fist.
Lower-end, but not the absolute bottom. They definitely left room for Season 2 to improve the show in a big way.
Did you ever watch Arrow and think "I would like to watch a serialized version of this, only much worse"?
I would say you are. It's pretty good. Certainly enjoying way more than Arrow.

Okay, so I'm watching the first episode of Iron Fist now and...
- Holy bad CGI, Batman, that fucking car flip and that fucking hawk.
- The Mandarin spoken by Danny is fucking god awful and this is coming from a foreign dude learning Chinese.
- The flashback scene with the Meachum bro had godawful plotting and no development that meant anything.

No. There was a stretch toward the beginning where I was like, "Oh shit. This actually isn't that bad. I'm glad I'm watching it."
But the more that went on, the more that feeling went away until I was left feeling like I watched a steaming pile of dog shit for 13 hours.
That might be a little harsh...but Colleen wasn't enough to save that show. And she was the best part about it, by far, in my opinion.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I managed to get in the first episode of Iron Fist this weekend. It seems fine. I'll probably watch more but I don't feel like it's a priority. I think pretty much all the other Netflix shows managed to grab my attention right away but this one didn't. I'll keep my expectations low and chip away at it when I have time.

What do you mean by english "dub"? Do you just mean the english language version? If so, I don't remember them ever mentioning him during the show.
Yeah, the english language version.
Looks like the german one is the better one then!
