Marvel, what have you done? | | 1 |  | Frank Ocean
Blonde
Snow Gives Way: 3.5/10
From the mundane, exposition-heavy opening, to one of the worst cut outs of any television episodes I ever seen, Iron Fist is a heart-wrenching disappointment. Entire scenes and conversations serve to explain and pander to the audience, others take ten minutes when they could have taken two. It's simply bad television, nothing interesting or extraordinary about it, and even though the visual style is more interesting than many other shows, it's flat and ugly compared to the wonders of Marvel's past Netflix shows. | | 2 |  | Avenged Sevenfold
Nightmare
Shadow Hawk Takes Flight: 4.5/10
While introducing a few interesting questions and elements and it's more focused than the first installment, this one still features ridiculous scenes with little to no merit, and repeats the same beats and dialogue over and over. As overlong as it was, this one showed way more promise than the previous episode, and maybe if the two were condensed into one it would've served as a solid pilot. | | 3 |  | Drake

Rolling Thunder Cannon Punch: 5.5/10
These titles are getting hilarious. This episode, while in no way good, was a significant step in the right direction. Several scenes seem to be structured toward moving the plot forward in an interesting way, even while there are still many dedicated to exposition and redundancy. Some characters are growing more interesting, some choices were actually clever, and the visual style definitely took more of a hold. However, the show's, and specifically this episode's, greatest flaw is that our protagonist seemingly has no goal, albeit a clear one (the first rule in screenwriting (unless this is an art film (which it isn't))), and thus the series has little to no direction. | |

03.17.17 | i watched about 20 minutes this morning and it seemed as bad as people were saying, it was so disjointed, very very awful acting and writing, super boring
might still go back and try again idk | Papa Universe
03.17.17 | It receives so much bad press that I am getting more and more tempted to watch it just for shits and giggles. | neekafat
03.17.17 | @Unique that's exactly what I'm doing, me and my bro are chilling and laughing through it
And I feel like I should watch it before The Defenders | Source
03.17.17 | I think netflix is crapping out too many shows at this point. | Papa Universe
03.17.17 | Is it a hollow-bad show or laughably bad show? | neekafat
03.17.17 | @Unique it's about half-and-half. It's like really boring and shit, but the writing and execution is laughably bad if you know your cliches when you see them | neekafat
03.17.17 | Ep. 2 updated | WeinerMan
03.17.17 | It'll be cool to see him in the Defenders but I'm probably gonna pass on this one. I still need to watch Luke Cage anyways. | neekafat
03.17.17 | @Weiner, Luke Cage is really great tbh, but not as good as DD or JJ | LethalPaintball
03.18.17 | havent started it yet, but im not sure if i even want to | Divaman
03.18.17 | I thought the first half of Luke Cage was great, but there was a serious drop off after that. Watched the first two episodes of Iron Fist last night. Thought they were slow moving, but not bad. In spite of the criticisms, the show is well cast. | SandwichBubble
03.18.17 | All of you should just watch new Samurai Jack tonight.
*hint hint* | neekafat
03.18.17 | Really Diva? I thought the acting was atrocious, the lead doesn't really seem to fit the type | Divaman
03.19.17 | Seemed to me to fit pretty well for the first two episodes. I never read the comics, though, so unlike Daredevil or Luke Cage, I never had to match them up against the memories of the comic book characters. And I'm liking the villains so far. In Luke Cage, I thought Cottonmouth was good, and Alfre Woodard is always good, but Diamondback was foaming-at-the-mouth awful. | Papa Universe
03.20.17 | So are you done with the thing or what? | neekafat
03.21.17 | Ep 3 updated | kris.
03.21.17 | scott buck ruined dexter and marvel gave him a series anyway lol | neekafat
03.21.17 | Yeah I heard that's what he mostly did, did he really turn it to crap? | kris.
03.21.17 | yeah, basically. the main creative heads behind the show left by season 4 (which happened to be the last good season) and he took over showrunner duties starting with season 6 and the show went to straight shit after that. the last season was so offensively bad. | neekafat
03.21.17 | Oh jeez | neekafat
04.03.17 | I'd add Ep 4 but there's no point | neekafat
06.28.17 | Ugh I just finished 8, it gets a bit better and then it just dips again |
