Iron Fist Iron Fist General Discussion Thread - Part 4

According to the guy who scooped all the DC movie announcements before they were announced, the fights are better but the show is still bad.

 

[The Infernal]

I still enjoyed season one despite it's flaws. Though I'm still hoping for better this season. At least I'm hearing the fighting is better.

Who is this now?

I won't take the word of the guy unless I know his opinion of other Marvel shows. Could just be a DC fan who wants to hate on Marvel because competition.

Looking at those gifs again, I'm guessing we won't see the mask for that long since it looks like they take them off at some point.

The fight supposedly lasts a long time. I think fair to say don't see the whole thing and it's interspersed throughout the episode. So we'll only have a snippet of them in the masks.

Given that he said Jessica Jones is his favorite show and the best thing to come out of Marvel, I find it unlikely that he'd hate Iron Fist just because competition. That's the sort of baseless speculation reserved for places like here, more like. Obviously him being more a fan of one wouldn't negate him being a fan of the other.

I mean, would it need to be someone like ComicBookCast2 for people to take their word?

I wouldn't even take that guy at his word. I would need real and credible critics.

They showed the whole fight scene at Comic-Con. They wear the masks. Fight for a bit. Lose them, and then they fight for quite longer.

Well, I'll have to say I'm surprised to hear that there's a long fight. Not surprised that they lose the masks. I'll wait and see how that plays out.

Well, which is it? You can't take him at his word because he's supposedly a DC fan or because he's not a real or credible critic?

Either, LOL. I don't take stalk in random fanboys on Twitter saying something sucks. I just don't. There are a million reasons they can hate something, or they just may have different tastes than I do. Also, the words "sucks" is vague. What didn't he like?

 

[KevTravels]

I have a great feeling season 2 will make us all forget about season 1. We'll no longer have a shameful taste leftover from season 1.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

From the writer of Elektra. I just honestly don't know what to expect. I'll be there for Colleen, but yeah.

I've thought about it too. Then I remembered this.

If I have a point here, sometimes guys deserve a second chance.

One stinker does not make someone into Kinberg.
David Benioff wrote the screenplay for Origins Wolverine, yet look how well HBO did to give him a chance.

I hated the Elektra movie. But Metzner has also worked as a writer and producer on other shows I have liked and thought were good in the past, such as Sleepy Hollow and Falling Skies.

I was also told the stunt and fight choreographers had more control over how fight scenes were shot and staged. I was told they didn't get MORE prep time, but they did get more creative control on the fight scenes.

I like Sleepy Hollow. Haven't seen the other one.
Happy to hear about the stunt and fight coordinators getting more control of their stuff. I hope it fixes the issues from the previous season.

Well, I like the first two or three seasons of Sleepy Hollow before it kinda got derailed IMO.

 

[Endeavor]

I've only seen the first 2 seasons.

Films and TV are a collaborative medium being a writer on a bad product doesn't mean all the problems were his fault. Sometimes a writer writes a great script and then it's torn apart by studios, directors, and even actors. Typically speaking, the quality of a film is mostly depended on Directors for movies and show runners for tv shows. Even then their ability can be hindered by the studio/network making demands. And sometimes writers take projects they're not passionate in just for the paycheck.

Plus show runners don't write all the episodes, there's a team of writers working at it. Half their job is writing but the other half is making sure the production runs smoothly. Sometimes a show runner may not write an episode for the whole season. As far as writing is concern their main priority is overseeing the creative direction of the season.

I know there's a documentary on Netflix called Show Runner that really goes into their responsibilities.

Basically, the fact he was a writer for Elektra doesn't indicate a thing.

Also, the Elektra script was destroyed write before filming started and completely played around with by the director and it failed because of that. Though I guess the new show runner is a fan of Typhoid Mary cause this is the second time she's showing up...

Again, willing to give him a chance here since he's the showrunner of Iron Fist now.

It's the same chance I gave Scott Buck.

Any chance you know when/if you’ll be getting screeners for this? Not for spoilers, just to ask if it’s good or not.
