Yup.I can understand like being amazed with technology and all but he is a little bratty at times, hell peter Parker is a teenager and he is nowhere as childish as this guy. Is he anything like his comic book charachter?

I went back & re-read the 1st 5 issues of his intro. run & unfortunately, little of his origin arc, in terms of character transferred. Colleen is in it as is Harold Meachum & his daughter. The Rand building was renamed after Meachum & that's what semi-motivates Danny to "involve" himself in the goings-on of his NY legacy. The thing about Iron Fist in the comics is that he's an absolute Kung-Fu Master &, for the most part is extremely disciplined & under control after 10 years in the monastery. The show has him freaking out all the time, unsure of how he should act or what to do, easily duped into bad situations. The Iron Fist of the comics is much more centered as an amazing warrior. IF in the comics clearly understands everything his power is capable of, TV's IF doesn't ... "It can do that!?!"



Well, they got the tattoo/brand right.

Finished it tonight. Well, it was pretty bad imo. I give it a 6/10. That being said, I found it quite watchable. I think as an Iron Fist comic book fan, I enjoyed just seeing it & a version of the character on screen. If, for some reason, Netflix green lights a 2nd season, the problems could be worked out. There's potential. Ultimately, I blame the writing. Tighten things up, reference the comics more, give Danny some sort of suit, & tis could be fixed.

As far as Marvel Netflix series go, Iron Fist would be like Iron Man 3 compared to recent Marvel movies

Finished it last night. I'll give it a 5/10. Nothing great but not total crap either. It was ok and it had some good parts, but I didn't really buy in as Finn Jones as Iron Fist. He was more like the karate kid or an adolescent teenage Iron Fist.

I did like Ward and Colleen thou.

Netflix's Daredevil is still by far the best.

I enjoyed watching it. I'm sure there will be a season 2. These shows are money trees for them.

6.5/10

Just over halfway through the series. I can say with certainty that had it not been a Marvel show based on one of my 10 favourite comic characters I would have abandoned it.
