"I AM NOT A VIRGIN! MANY WOMEN HAVE BEEN TOUCHED!"
Now I start to think he may actually be.
"I AM NOT A VIRGIN! MANY WOMEN HAVE BEEN TOUCHED!"
"I AM NOT A VIRGIN! MANY WOMEN HAVE BEEN TOUCHED!"
So like everything else, this will drop at 12AM PST on the 17?
- Vulture: Netflixs Iron Fist Is a Tedious, Unremarkable Bummer.That's not to say the show is without highlights. Jessica Henwick's take on Colleen Wing is intriguing to see, even if she's a somewhat reluctant ally of Danny Rand's in the first chunk of the series. She has one particularly dope battle where she gets to let her rougher skills come to the surface, but without the proper storyline, she ends up becoming a sidekick with no forseeable motivation. Also, kudos to Carrie-Anne Moss and Rosario Dawson for resurrecting their MCU roles (lawyer Jeri Hogarth and nurse Claire Temple, respectively) for this series, but at times it feels like this was done solely to show how interconnected these larger characters are for future reveals.
- Daily Beast: The Iron Fist White Savior Controversy: Creator and Stars Respond to the Backlash.Youve probably also heard that Iron Fist is a big bag of Orientalist clichés. This is true. Its far from the worst of its kind, but coming on the heels of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, both of which took greater risks with both style/mood and cultural point of view, the show feels like a regression. Jones is likable enough that you cant despise his character, but Danny is still a young white guys fantasy about the mystical awesomeness of Asian religion and martial arts.
And the characters casually entitled attitude makes his posturing more irritating. Picture Bruce Wayne without the cowl and gadgets, or Doctor Strange without the spells, then add an indestructible fist and the demeanor and accent of a trust-fund bro who went to Pepperdine: Thats Danny. He explains and demonstrates Eastern practices with the puppy-dog eagerness of guy who spent a week in Thailand and wants everyone to know it totally changed his life.
On the issue of casting, Buck says he wasnt aware of fans calls for a nonwhite lead until after Jones was castdespite early reports that Marvel and Netflix did meet with several Asian American actors, before ultimately deciding to keep Danny white.
To me it was just about finding the best actor for that, says Buck. It wasnt until after we cast Finn that I became aware that there had been, you know, some controversy over that.
I understood where it was coming from, he says, but we just werent thinking in that way, at least I certainly wasnt. I was just concentrating on the story and who would be a great actor to play this character.
You don't cast non-actors for leading roles unless you're intentionally setting out to make a B-movie.
Is it releasing at midnight tonight?
I have a feeling both Disney and Netflix would prefer Finn and Buck to quiet down

Oh hell yes
Has anybody asked Feige abput the thrashing this show is getting? A LOT of folks still seem to think tv and film divisions are integrated and talk as if they are one.

What would be the most effective way to show Netflix data crunchers they done fucked up ?
-Watch half an episode and stop
-Not watch it at all despite having watched all the Marvel TV series
-Watch, stop, start again and stop again

Just watch it and form an opinion for yourself dude, then if you dont like it, dont watch anymore. Its not rocket science.
Holy shit, why all the hate? Did Danny Rand kill all your dogs?
The show just came out.
Iron Fisted my dogs.
Definitely seems that way.Iron Fisted my dogs.
Opening credits are pretty good, not DD level, but good.
