THE PROBLEM WITH IRON FIST

With The Defenders trailer out, (check it out here ), we're just months away from the team-up we've been waiting for, but before we get there, let's talk about the last lead up to it, Iron Fist. The only sore in the Defenders line-up. What went wrong and was it really that bad? Here's my review on it: Marvel’s latest Netflix series, Iron Fist has gotten some flack from critics and fans and it’s somewhat understandable. Aside from the fact that lots of fans were clamouring for an Asian character (despite the character always being White) to portray the hero, the storyline has some problems that really has nothing to do with race, but rather a lack of intrigue. The first 10-15 minutes of Iron Fist is an amazing setup to a good Iron Fist movie we’ll never get to see. There’s also a great setup for the villain in Harold Meachum, which would’ve worked better for a one and half hour movie, but this is a Netflix series of 13 episodes, so things have to get dragged…
