The Matrix shows that a bunch of regular ol’ actors can deliver fantastic fight scenes with the help of good wire-work, special effects, and camera shenanigans. I think Iron Fist would have benefited greatly by embracing the spectacle of its fight scenes like that, rather than trying and failing to ape the grounded…

Very good point! None of the shows are the second coming (though my affection for Jessica Jones knows no bounds). But man NOTHING in the current Marvel oeuvre can compare to having to watch the first half of S1 of SHIELD (still strongly feel Iron Fist is close because of that abysmal action).

Yet, when compared to the other Netflix shows, to me at least, the drop off in quality is not that severe.

I enjoyed it. That’s not saying it’s perfect or amazing. But it I liked it. I hope there’s a season 2 and they have more time to prep.

I’m only half way through, but there have already been a couple of “Hello, Claire? Pick up the damn phone!” moments.

Seriously.

Okay, let’s get into it…

Somehow I’ve seen the commercial for Kong: Skull Island at least three times and it never occurred to me there would actually be a movie behind them.

It’s for the fans! Like killing Jimmy Olsen after 1 minute of screen time. Fans love such stuff!

That’s just stupid. In 1933, no body cares about black people. In those times, black men weren’t seen as a threat to do anything. People were more scared of the Irish and Italian immigrants.

With all the poop emoji merchandise out there how in the world is a smiling poop not one of the options? We all know Americans would vote for a turd.

Hold it, the boot is gone? I loved the boot—I tromped around many a Monopoly board in my youth, losing to my brother, with that boot—it was the right choice for someone who ended up repeatedly bankrupt and homeless.

Baleman? Some horrifying part Christian Bale, part John Goodman chimera? I’d watch that movie.

I just had a moment where I imagined him as Willy Wonka. And it WORKED!

America walked out of Fantastic 4 half-way through as well.

A surveillance microwave, an iPhone, and an insurance card. Wait no, not those last two, you have to chose between having one or the other..

Well I am pleasantly surprised a gilded swastika didn’t win.

This just proves to me that Americans can’t be trusted to vote on anything.

On the other hand, Suicide Squad 2 just got a writer this week
