Maybe setup for the Defenders plot?

Yeah, something like this


Edit: LOL, now he digged up a Daredevil reference and said its all connected.

 

[Shaanyboi]

It feels like every Netflix show revolves somehow around drugs

For what it's worth, this was inheriting the Daredevil stuff.

 

[FusedAtoms]

This show really feels like it doesn't have a personality like the other shows did

Episode 5:

Lmao at Colleen and Claire's faces as soon as Danny admitted to taking a vow of chastity

Then Claire took some food to go, love this woman

Oh, this is gonna get gif'd.

 

[The Kree]

This show really feels like it doesn't have a personality like the other shows did

It's thematically empty so far. Like, it's not about anything.

Daredevil, Luke, and Jessica's shows wore their themes on their sleeves in comparison.

Yup...

 

[Sanctuary]

Evidently not. If you're comparing the RT rating to Metacritic, this is the number you should be looking at:

I've been using the site since it first appeared in '98. I know exactly how it works, but that's not going to stop me from using a consensus as an overall barometer. Oh wait...

It really wants to be about the cruel apathy that drive corporations and the wealthy in general, but it lacks substance in exploring that beyond blunt characterisation and some dialogue here and​ there.

The Fist plots are kinda weak, so far, I agree. But I still like the characters a lot. Wonder if Defenders will suffer for probably ditching a lot of the more interesting side characters.

Edit Ep 7 omg that guy who

Spoiler

"lost" 2 fingers

I can't.

 

[milkham]

I was ready to hate it but I don't

Claires Cameo is feeling more shorehorned then usual.

Someone has to set up the Defenders initiative

Felt like a check in a box.

 

[LotusHD]

I just realized I already saw the hallway scene. Meh.

The characters are the only thing carrying this for me. I like Danny, Colleen, Harold, Gao, Megan, Ward. These people can act and they're all nice to look at.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

We need to gif the scene were Wade gives the finger to the air.

Too bad the show around them are meh do i still don't really care about much of the characters besides the returning ones from other netflix shows and maybe colleen and that is a big maybe.

Apparently not...

If only 19% of a class passes an exam, you don't say "It's less 19% and more like 40%." We're not talking review averages, we're talking about hard numbers of who liked it and who didn't.

Who is Megan again?

 

[The Kree]

Who is Megan again?

The office assistant.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

The Meechums make me long for the days of Diamondback, at least he was interesting to watch in a trainwreck sort of way.

 

[LotusHD]

The office assistant.

I'll keep that in mind, because I genuinely forgot. But hey it's the assistant, so not that surprising I guess.

The Meechums make me long for the days of Diamondback, at least he was interesting to watch in a trainwreck sort of way.

Damn, you not even wrong...

 

[shadow_shogun]

Why don't they ever get actors that actually know martial arts to play these sort of roles. Lord, can you imagine how awesome the fight scenes would be if Scott Adkins had the role of Danny Rand.

 

[Blackpanther25]

I really liked the homeless dude

Spoiler

was sad that he ODed

and kids from the dojo.

Faramir has fallen so far...

OMG......I didn't even notice it was him. Smh.

Episode 5:

Spoiler

Other protagonists usually tell their friends and acquaintances not to get involved, as what they do is dangerous. Meanwhile Danny be like, "Yea I know they got machine guns, but you broke, so help me anyways"

 

[caliph95]

For real, at least diamondback was entertaining in a way. fuck the Meechums for being such boring same old villains.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Coleen is still cool. Like her the most.

 

[Beefy]

This is making me fall asleep.

 

[Renpatsu]

David Wenham has been fine so far, not like he has much to work with. At least when he's on screen there is some level of charisma at play.

 

[LotusHD]

Coleen is still cool. Like her the most.

Wish she was the main character low-key, she just trying to live her life until this Iron Fist guy showed up lol ;D

 

[The Kree]

Oh boy, another huge blunder in episode 7.

 

[caliph95]

On episode 4 now,

Oh boy, another huge blunder in episode 7.

What happenned now

 

[Jake2by4]

Still can't believe with all the shit that has happened in the MCU, Danny having powers in out of the ordinary.

 

[The Kree]

On episode 4 now,

What happenned now

It's a repeat of something from a previous show.

Spoiler

Most interesting character killed off at the halfway mark.

 

[Pics_nao]

Oh right. This is out now. Is it any good? I have about 15 or so hours before I can start watching 1 episode...

 

[WarrenD]

Just finished episode 4. I don't really see the complaints. It's entertaining enough and so far I haven't felt it was too slow.

Could do with a little less of the boardroom stuff I suppose but I do like how Danny is getting used to the world.

 

[Pachimari]

Just started up Episode 1. That intro was boring. And holy shit at the fighting at the Rand Corp entrance. That was extremely bad wow. It looked like they were practicing choreography.

Iron Fist is one of my absolute favorite comic book properties so I hope it turns out somewhat decent.

 

[milkham]

lol they showed a wider establishing shot in front of the dojo they put the sign on the apartment building next to the one i grew up in

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Claire and her guys with special gifts 🙄 Most annoying trope of this shows at this point.
At Episode 6 now, stoping for today.

 

[Sheppard]

What EPS did the rza direct?

 

[Apt101]

The first episode wasn't so bad. A little slow perhaps, and I feel frustrated for the character Danny.

 

[The Artisan]

i'll watch an episode on my lunch break

 

[spiderman123]

They fucked up. It feels off so bad.

 

[JimJamJones]

Sooooo I tried to start the first episode, and it was Spanish audio.

Apparently, all the other shows on my Netflix are in English, but only IF is in Spanish and no matter what language I choose it stays Spanish.

 

[Renpatsu]

Might be more palatable in Spanish.

 

[Tom Nook]

It's Time!
