WholeFnMachine Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm constantly annoyed by super hero TV shows/films that refuse to put them in the damn costumes. Stop worrying about it not being realistic or practical or whatever the fuck your excuse is. Your shows/movies are being watched be people who WANT to see them in the costume, so just put them in it already. Enough with X-Men in pleather and the like, just put them in the damn suits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good with the character being in present day, but don't do it in a way that wipes out the superhero Kung Fu crazy shit. There's nothing wrong with Iron Fist that a clean shave from a decent razor, a proper martial arts costume, and more fights wouldn't solve. Yeah, the unkempt beard infuriates me. 1 hour ago, odessasteps said: No green pajamas and no yellow ballet slippers = fail. 16 minutes ago, WholeFnMachine said: I'm constantly annoyed by super hero TV shows/films that refuse to put them in the damn costumes.

Bustronaut Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The thing is, the push toward more "super" superheroes in TV/Movies is still fairly new, and Marvel/Netflix had this long running plan that they couldn't really change mid-stream because of inertia. I mean, supposedly Lockjaw will be in the Inhumans show (though I *still* think they're just gonna remove the blue statue and it was there to be noticed so fan would be happy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I could see Lockjaw being the inhumans teleport device just named Lockjaw, similar to Jarvis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Lockjaw to the Inhumans is pretty much what the Quinjet is to the Avengers. You can probably pass that power on to Black Bolt himself and not fuck things up too much. There is bound to be at least one seventy year old Kirby purist that will scream at a cloud about it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It may depends on if he is "just" a dog or they go Byrne and make him an unhuman turned into a dog by the terrigan mists. (i assume Kirby purists dont watch any Marvel media properties, too busy arguing about Vince Coletta and !ike Royer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 You know how the Daredevil show didn't put him in the costume until the end of season one, and how Punisher didn't get the skull on his shirt until the end of season two? Iron Fist won't be having a shave or putting on the green kung fu outfit until the end of the series. And I mean the Defenders series, not Iron Fist's solo thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Just watched the early hours repeat of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D The Good Samaritan S4 Ep6 as I didn't watch it last Sunday. Bloody good episode, maybe the best of this season. Looking forward to the second part tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterien Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 We all know that reviewers hated eps 1-6 (although most said 5 and 6 showed potential) of Iron Fist but what are the possibilities of eps 7-13 being very good and turning it around?

NikoBaltimore Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 That would be the reverse of how some Marvel Netflix shows go. Normally they start out awesome and interesting, only for later episodes to not hold up as much (it's been said about Jessica Jones and Luke Cage) I'm hopeful the second half does build up steam so the season finale is awesome. I think it's too early to judge it without seeing the whole season, need to see what it's leading to first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Iron Fist has flaws. It has some problems, but it's not as bad as some of the critics made it out to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I just finished episode 5. It's ok so far, needs to pick up. I don't think it touches Luke Cage or Jessica Jones so far, but since I feel like I'm in for what they're doing in the universe, I'm going to check the whole thing out. A lot of the early eps feel like the corporate parts of Batman Begins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm only 4 in, but I'm generally enjoying it though it definitely looks like the weakest of the netflix series at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuntmanCrowley Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It is nowhere near as bad as people were painting it. I am only 4 episodes in, so obviously, I have a while to go in it. I like Finn Jones as Rand, but I think Coleen Wing is the most interesting character on the show thus far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I finished Iron Fist this afternoon and thought it was decent and not nearly as bad as critics made it out to be. Having said that, I never ended up warming up to Danny and found Colleen and the Meachum Siblings as my favorite characters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I would agree on if Danny was really ever likeble. I think Danny came off kind of like Hayden Christensen in Star Wars prequels but not as insufferable. I understand that throughout the early parts of the story, you're sitting there watching to see where certain characters are going to shuffle out. Originally you think Ward is a dick, Joy you think is good, but she does the deal where she drugged Danny and the deal with Patel to get him the liver. Later in the story, it's like everyone in the cast is Big Show and Lex Luger and it turns into who's lying to who non-stop. I liked the other Netflix Marvel series more though. I have enjoyed Madam Gao. Something about a superhero show where one of the heavies is a a 4 ft tall old lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm pretty certain that the key to watching this show is to see Danny as a catalyst and not a protagonist. It's the superhero version of What about Bob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just watched the first episode of IRON FIST (and skipped the discussion cuz spoilers) and goddamn do they need a script doctor. Punch up the dialogue a bit and give the characters some actual character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 20 minutes into the first episode of IRON FIST, literally nothing has happened and Danny and a homeless guy are talking about pissing in shoes. HARDEST pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
