Marvel's Iron Fist Netflix

Post by Tyrannical » Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:33 pm

Latest marvel series hit net flix. Panned by critics, but I love it! Best one next to daredevil.

10 yr old billionaire son, flying in private jet over the himallayes. Sole survivor and rescued by mystic warrior monks. Returns 15 years later.

Some controversy because they didn't cast an Asian as a well established Caucasian character. What made iron fist interesting was he was a Caucasian orphan that speaks fluent mandarin and became a Buddhist Kung fu master.

Heavy on the martial arts like daredevil, but an entirely different more defensive style that's quite interesting to watch.

Is he trained by the same ninjas who trained Batman in that ridiculous movie?

Is he trained by Tilda Swinton? :tat:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

I'm on episode 5 of 13, seems more like daredevil than batman. Except most of the time he has this Buddhist monk thing going on. Except when he goes all bad ass, where he doesn't kill or seriously mame anyone.

But mythical monistary that only "phases" into earth every 15 years.

That'ss one of the big reasons I boycotted that film, turning the Ancient one from a Tibetan guy to a Caucasian female... no respect for the original work.

I'm not laughing at you Svarty, just that films are made for money not for aficionados of literature.
