Netflix Retrospective - Iron Fist Season 2 Episodes 1-2 - The Fury of the Iron Fist/This City's Not for Burning

A lot of changes happened behind the scenes with Iron Fist after the poor reception of series 1. Scott Buck was replaced as showrunner by M Raven Metzer, who’s filmography includes Heroes: Reborn and Elektra… see we’re off to a great start. The episode number was cut from 13 to 10 which if you’ve read any of my reviews of Netflix Marvel shows you’d know I think is a great move considering the pacing has always been a weaker element of these shows. Clayton Barber is the new fight co-ordinator, and with Black Panther a recent addition to his arsenal it’s a good choice, especially since the fights in the first season were rather weak.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to save the show as it had a low critical rating and it was among the first of the Netflix Marvel shows to face cancellation.

Unlike the first season, episodes are named after stories from the comics rather than martial arts moves. The names will hence will feel a little more relevant to what’s going on.
