What did he mean by this?

Also Peter Dinklage would probably make a good[url=https://youtu.be/rzNKhX_VIJg?t=5m37s] Alex O'Hirn style Ultimate Rhino[/url], yes.

He was already in xmen, sorry mate I don't think they'll go for that one

That's not gonna stop em.
Cap was Human Torch
Isn't Dinklage already cast in Infinity War? Most likely as Puck?
I heard the Russos really wanted him to be MODOK in early drafts of Cap 2, that woulda been amazing.

Finn Jones is skinny as hell and about as intimidating as your average guy physically. Plus he has no experience in martial arts so all the fights end up looking like crap and the actor's past work isn't what you'll call ideal for this role.
I know it's unfair since DD has his mask so the choreography will be easier but even still... why Finn Jones? The casting is off to me, that's all I'm saying.

This is the second time ive seen this and like, where are people getting the idea that Iron Fist is this hulking ripped dude from? Him, Daredevil, and Spider-Man (take important notice of that last one because even with alternating artists everyone agrees that he's a slim fit dude) have all masqueraded as eachother at some point or another to aid in keeping their identities a secret, the implication is they all have a similar runners build, and usually they're drawn with similar physiques.
Like for example:

[t]https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/10/104544/4958040-immortal+iron+fist+-+the+last+iron+fist+story+v1-031.jpg[/t]
[t]http://www.theworkprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/ironfist3.jpg[/t]
These pages from Immortal Iron Fist, which this show takes some clear inspiration from (like [sp]The Bride of Nine Spiders[/sp] character).
A specific line to get across what i mean with the disguise stuff, i forget if Iron Fist ever directly masqueraded as Spider-Man, but [url=http://www.cakeoven.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/image28729-1.jpg]he was disguised as Daredevil[/url] at a point during Civil War, [url=http://images-cdn.moviepilot.com/image/upload/c_fill,h_1519,w_1000/t_mp_quality/061civil_war005_47-ten-things-we-want-to-see-in-captain-america-civil-war-jpeg-218852.jpg]enough that Iron Man never noticed[/url], and Daredevil and Spider-Man have [url=http://68.media.tumblr.com/07f959ed3d18ff8df68949eadab777fc/tumblr_inline_nz2z70itmP1tzwnrz_500.jpg]disguised as one another at various points[/url]. So logically, going off that, Iron Fists build is canonically roughly the same as those two.

This comes down to personal preference i think.
Im on episode 10 and i havent really had all that many problems with his fighting, at least compared to anyone else on the show.

Stated iron fist, half way into it. It's ok but has anyone pointed out yet that in episode 3 when Danny is visiting the dojo, that kid in the background with the broom is doing the most blatantly fake floor sweeping with the broom like a foot off the ground lmao. Same shit people pointed out in that one quantum of solace clip. A++

Screws with the audio IIRC.
[QUOTE=AaronM202;51984323]Fucks with the audio IIRC.[/QUOTE]
Makes sense but begs the question why they keep having someone so close to the camera sweeping in the first place and not just do some other task lol.
So why did Iron Fist get bad reviews? Im in episode 2 and it seems to be on par with the rest of the Marvel Netfix shows

I got the impression he was so focused on Danny that he wasn't really doing his job correctly.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;51984717]So why did Iron Fist get bad reviews? Im in episode 2 and it seems to be on par with the rest of the Marvel Netfix shows[/QUOTE]
Because only asian people can ever do or play anyone who does martial arts now.

If you take the time to read the material the TV show is based on, then you won't have enough time in the day to be outraged. :(

I did and im not?

Like not only have i read Iron Fist, ive read one the specific run that this show draws inspiration heavily from (fairly recently in fact), and besides some nitpicks and small gripes im not really mad about it.
Im actually kind of hyped over [sp]Orson Randall[/sp] getting a small cameo with an accurate, if hard to see in the actual show, costume, which leads me to believe Defenders might have a good Iron Fist costume and/or he might show up at some point.
[QUOTE=AaronM202;51984323]Screws with the audio IIRC.[/QUOTE]
Dunno why they just don't remove production effects and go with some adr and foley. Netflix and marvel should have the budget for this now.
Was that Ronan guy from the last Guardians one of Dormammu's followers? I only ask because he had similar things on this face?
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;51985464]Was that Ronan guy from the last Guardians one of Dormammu's followers? I only ask because he had similar things on this face?[/QUOTE]
He was like a Space Nationalist who wanted to fuck up everyone who fucked with his race. He joined up with Thanos to amass some power and immediately betrayed him the second he felt he could get the job done on his own.
Dormammu on the other hand is like a demon from another dimension who makes Faustian deals with people and wants to take over all of our shit.
Fair enough. Also, you can disagree with a statement but not with a question.
[QUOTE=usaokay;51985887]Keep watching.
I get kind of bothered that half of the plot isn't fully cohesive with the main events.
It reminds me a lot of Daredevil S2 where there's a huge contrast in tone, but even though they tried to make it mix better in Iron Fist, the story just feels really off.
There are about three villains, which doesn't make things simple.[/QUOTE]
I don't think that it's something special, but it's been a good watch so far, and I'm nearing the end.
I've got 3 episodes left, and I'm just tired of switching back to the Meachum's boring-ass plot all the time.[sp]Harold[/sp]is pretty fun a lot of the time, but man, I don't need to see[sp]Joy and Ward arguing about whatever anymore. I was so happy when I thought Harold was about stab Ward after he resurrected again. I hope he stays in that mental institute and off camera.[/sp]
Otherwise, the show is just kind of okay. There's not a strong central conflict, the martial arts are TV-okay, but after things like Daredevil, still disappointing. In fact, I feel like the whole show has a bad case of Daredevil Season One-envy.

I'd bang joy
joy and ward feel like soap opera characters
[QUOTE=redBadger;51986856]I'd bang joy[/QUOTE]
Colleen is giving me yellow fever, would rather have her. Plus the fact that she doesn't wear a bra in a lot of the dojo scenes.
Yall crazy
Gao is where its at
Regardless of everything, we can all agree Joy is fucking terrible right?
[QUOTE=AaronM202;51987730]Regardless of everything, we can all agree Joy is fucking terrible right?[/QUOTE]
in what sense? because i think they did a really, really poor job with characterization there. she's really undefined.
or did you just mean it in the 'she's a bitch' sense lol
[editline]20th March 2017[/editline]
I really love how they shot [EP4][sp]Meechum's secret apartment in all episodes before this one. The camera's always aimed high up in the establishing shots. So, in EP4, as Danny is waking up in the couch and the only view you have is of the floor as the camera slowly pans up, it creates a really good sense of tension where you're not entirely sure if he's been taken to the penthouse, and it pays off when the upper parts of the room start to show up and it hits you that he's there[/sp]

Ending left me a bit disapointed. Felt like it was finally getting pretty good.
Be nice if he actually used his fist more than 5 times tho but I dunno anything about the actual comic character
I'm on episode 11 now and it starts to feel like a drag. I don't really like any of the characters... They all are really annoying to me. I loved Jessica Jones because of Purple Man, I loved Daredevil & Kingpin. Luke Cage had Cottonmouth.
