Marvel's Iron Fist (Netflix)

[Chindie]

 

The most intriguing of the Defenders series for me finally gets a teaser. Looks interestingly different if nothing else.

[Butters]

Yeah, I like how each of the series seems to have its own feel. Has this one been given a release date yet?

[Nespresso]

It's pretty amazing that Marvel keeps pumping out shows starring heroes no one has ever heard of while at the same time DC can't even get Bat v Supes right.

Probably one of my favourite Marvel heroes. Really looking forward to seeing what they do with him. I hope they keep all of the crazy mystical elements, especially the other Immortal Weapons.

[Vemsie]

Fourth episode is directed by Miguel 'Hardhome/Battle of the Bastards/Winds of Winter' Sapochnik. Should be good.

Smash the Brubaker run into an origin story, done. Keep the look, trim the fat a little, maybe ditch the older Iron Fist plot, but keep the fundamentals and you'd have a brilliant series on paper and one very different from what we've seen before.

 

It's been confirmed this afternoon that it seems like Danny Rand will take on a number of villains in the show. Could be a good thing, could be a bad thing. But different to Daredevil for instance.

Still very interested in this but the lack of Luke Cage grabbing me as yet (7 episodes in), and the slight wobble of Daredevil series 2, has me tempering the hype. Iron Fist could easily be exceptionally crap if everything isn't on point. Just the nature of the character and his origin/back story, is asking for a horror show if the writing isn't bang on, and then the character himself has to be believable as more or less the greatest martial artist imaginable. I wouldn't begrudge anyone working on the fight choreography...

 

But get it right, and it could be absolutely awesome. Fingers crossed, I really like the character and an desperate for this to be a success.

Just debuted at NYCC - They also announced Sigourney Weaver will be the villain in The Defenders.

 

 

[Chindie]

Gone for the Kaare Andrews take on the look of his power, which is a fairly cool look. Not sure I quite get the feeling from that that he is an absolutely incredible martial artist, also hope they can think of more impressive use cases for the Iron Fist power than blowing a door off. But then it is only a teaser.

Cool, wonder if Sugar and Job will meet again..

 

[Azrael]

Corridor fight, yas!

Is Hoon Lee in it? Would be cool.

 

As far as Banshee actors are concerned, Kurt is in it for sure.

[Scruff]

It's his voice narrating the trailer. Hard to tell as there is no cursing in it

[JohnC]

BBFC rated it 18 for "strong bloody violence". It's really down to one episode, with most being 15, plus a 12. By comparison, the other shows so far have been 15.

[Chindie]

Possible spoilers for the series

 

Spoiler

The trailers have a brief shot that appears to be another Immortal Weapon. Ah episode title might also support that.Too much to ask for the Steel Serpent?

This has been the one of the Netflix shows I've been looking forward to the most. That's been tempered by them more or less confirming they're going to stray from the source material a bit, but I'm still more hyped for this tab any of the shows to date.

 

...He better wear the bloody outfit. The Aja style one.

YES. I'm presuming any outfit may not happen until the end of the series though...

[Sabreman]

 

[Ivanho]

That's looking really good.

[NickC]

Feels like Season 1 of Arrow on speed. 

 

I'm in. 

[Nespresso]

I like how all of these Marvel Netflix shows are exactly the same now.

 

[Alask]

Yeah, is Rand basically McQueen? I'm not familiar with the source..

 

Also I've still not finished watching the Luke Cage series because it was very very dull, so I'm hedging my bets still.

[Mr Cochese]

Who hell McQueen?

[Hexx]

He means Oliver Queen from Arrow

[Chindie]

 

They still don't quite know how to 'sell' a punch somehow. It's been a problem across the Daredevil series to one degree or another, but this clip is totally neutered by it. It might be a cool fight scene but you're blinded by just how badly and obviously the punches are pulled.

 

Hopefully the other scenes manage to drag it back, because Iron Fist has to have Danny believable as a supreme martial artist, before you ever consider his powers.

[deerokus]

One of the terrible sand sisters from GoT is in it. Hope her fight scene skills have improved because, jeez. 

[Scruff]

Watch the video in the post directly above you and find out

[deerokus]

Yeah I already did. You can't tell from one clip, but the signs aren't good. 

[Eighthours]

Why hello there, Arrow Season 1 with a bigger budget.

[Butters]

It shouldn't have to try hard to be better than Arrow, whether season one or currently. Bar season two (which was fun in a completely over the top way, most of it has been fairly garbage.
