I had actually hoped that they'd cast a young Asian actor to play Danny Rand. I thought it'd have been awesome. Sure, you walk the tight rope of the Asian martial artist, but I want to see more Asian leading men as much as I do black dudes and women. So what if an Asian guy learns to be Iron Fist? So we just exclude Asian people from being protagonists in Asian themed stories because stereotypes? How about we just don't write them as stereotypes?
For me, personally, I've never been a fan of the "white dude enters 'strange' and 'exotic'culture, and within weeks/months, becomes the hero they needed, may, deserved! Usually defeating the indigenous bad guy who has lived and breathed the culture his entire life, being bested by the newb, because destiny or something." I hate that plot in general, but in recent years, I've particularly taken a dislike to it.
Mainly because it's boring and uninteresting at this point. I was excited for a potential "Heroes for Hire" Netflix show, but if Jones isn't interesting as the character or is bland, I can't see how he'll bounce off of Coulter.
Also, what's with the JJ and Cage hate? Those shows were really good, if flawed. I loved them. Daredevil season 2 was mostly good, like 90% good, with a few weak moments. Overall, the four seasons of Netflix TV released so far has been damn good tv. I'm going to watch Iron Fist for myself, because I like to make up my own mind about shit, but I never went in expecting much to begin with.
I hear the same thing, but it always disappoints me. Stopped trying after season three. I don't think the show is for us.
I agree. I finally threw in the towel with the Ghost Rider Arc. It's just...not for me. Kind of annoyed I invested 4 seasons worth of episodes into it, but I kept hearing how good it is now, and jumping back on it and going, "Really?" I'm finally moving on. No "Agents of S.H.I.T." from me anymore. XD
