Iron Fist is the last of the Marvel retrospectives I’ll be doing for the time being. I’ll be doing Voltron: Legendary Defender next but before we can get a half-decent show, this… Iron Fist is widely considered the worst of the Marvel Netflix shows and believe me, there’s good reasons for that. I’ve had only a little experience with Iron Fist in the comics.

He’s the guy who said “I fart mystic powers” unfortunately the jovial nature of the character is not captured here. Let’s talk about casting, some are upset that an Asian actor wasn’t cast, I get the hatred of white saviour narratives but it doesn’t bother me as much as the fact they cast an actor with minimal experience in martial arts as one of the most martial-arts based superheroes there is. But let’s not beat about the bush and dig into the first 2 episodes of Iron Fists. Because 2 episodes is all I can take.
