But the kung fu in iron fist is rare and mediocre. And the MC is a pretty terrible character in general. The only thing that save this show for me are Ward and Harold.
Daredevil first season was ok, second was only saved by The Punisher (a show I'm actually looking forward to)."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

I watched the gender song on youtube. gah! that was bad. I think I will watch the show on netflix and make a drinking game out of how many really bad and tasteless things they say or do. I should pass out in the first 15 minutes.

I get a similar vibe from Iron Fist + the asian girl, although the forced romance is still the second most awkward, dumb, artificial moment of the show (the first would be her winning cage match against not one but two well built guys twice her size)."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostI didn't like Fisk, he struck me as a giant man-baby who wouldn't last a day in his position. His relationship with that woman also struck me as completely unrealistic and artificial, there was zero chemistry between them.

Yeah you can do that with Scorpion too. I am amazed at how bad the science is in a show that is supposedly based on a real Genius. Of course the word on the net about the real Walter O'brien is that he is a fraud and a scam artist, so I guess it does make sense that the show is full of really bad science after all.

If you're looking for supernatural action I recommend the "new" Teen Wolf show from MTV (of all places). Roughly the same genre, but much better overall in nearly every aspect."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot is now a Netflix original. I watched the first episode today and it was good!"Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy."

Done with the superhero stuff, I watched Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. Jessica Jones was pretty terrible aside from the main character and the villain, pretty much an odious feminist lecture that didn't fit in with the show at all (not that feminists are smart enough for subtlety), but still better than Iron Fist, which improved slightly towards the end (but not nearly enough to pull it out of the hole it started in). Luke Cage also suffers from a lack of action (like all of them except daredevil did), but at least the drama is of much higher quality.
I'd order them Luke Cage >>>> Daredevil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jessica Jones >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Iron Fist
I REALLY hope The Punisher kicks it up a notch, although the SJWs at netflix are just as likely to cancel it as ruin it."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
