Honestly, the more I think of the whole Dylan and Emma thing, the more contrived it seems. The earring part REALLY bothers me. If he's holding onto it as evidence, why would he just carelessly toss it in a drawer full of junk? And really, what does one earring prove anyway? It's not like there's Norman's blood on it.…

No disrespect meant to Mr. Perkins but I totally agree.

Not holding my breath.

Perhaps. But at the same time, he already dodged a bullet with that one thanks to Emma. He should have just let sleeping dogs lie. I know they need to eventually go back to White Pine Bay but they could have done that with Emma looking up the motel anyway because she was feeling nostalgic herself after seeing what she…

And as I mentioned in my own comment, I don't understand why he would go to a gay bar if he was embodying a specific woman. When his Norma persona takes hold of him it's a complete takeover. Sure Norma/n would be trying to look for company, most likely male company, but why would she go to a LGBT-friendly bar instead…

Freddie Highmore just…SLAYS me. How could anyone take the Emmys or any of those stupid award shows seriously ever again if they deprive him of an award for his performance yet again this year? He is really one of the most fascinating performers I've ever had the pleasure of watching. I hope he gets a long glorious…

I love that you brought up Elektra; I thought they did a great job with her too and I loved the casting. I just wished they did change ups like that more often, especially when the role doesn't call for someone who knows kung fu or spouts some mystic nonsense.

The first one.

I don’t know about Mike Colter though. sure he looked the part but I didn’t think he had much on screen charisma. So I would say for me they totally misfired for both Luke Cage and Iron Fist. I mean, imagine if someone like Idris Elba played Luke Cage, how much more dynamic that character would have been.

The Dr. Strange issue could have easily been resolved: they took away the high profile mystic role from an Asian actor so they could have easily made up for it by casting an Asian actress in Rachel McAdam's role instead to balance things out. That's one option. Maybe it would then feel just a LITTLE BIT less like the…

Under the circumstances, him being a kid who fell off a plane and saved by the monks, I'm ok with him not being Asian. I'm actually a little relieved he's not yet another Asian martial arts master, as you said. In fact, I would've felt a little more relieved if they didn't include the Colleen Wing character which…

Spoken like a total non-Asian person who doesn't give two fucks about the shit the Asian-American community have to put up with over the years with how they're generally cast and portrayed as in media. And if you ARE actually Asian yourself and you still feel that way, I can only say I am truly flabbergasted.

It wasn't great, but at least it was better than what Christian Bale did in Batman Begins, and they had much more dough to get him a proper language coach. But the weird thing about that scene in Iron Fist is that I think Finn Jones' lines were dubbed or ADRed…the sound was off, like overlaid.

Ohhhh dial down your expectations of the Danny vs Colleen fight to LOW, my friend.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

…and then I get sad all over again. I miss that guy.

I'm glad he wasn't Asian since there's also something uncomfortably stereotypical about a kung fu fighting Asian (I'm Asian and trust me, we don't all know kung fu), but I just wish he was at least interesting.

Thank you for pointing that out because every time they're on screen together I'm distracted by that fact. Is that done on purpose because the elder Meachum is immortal or something? If there's no point to it other than bad casting, then that's pretty stupid.

And they hired one of the awful Sandsnakes to be the female lead. She couldn't fight convincingly on GoT and she still can't fight convincingly here. She just grappled with Danny at her dojo and holy crap that is one of the worst fight scenes I've ever seen involving two people who are supposed to know how to fight…

Like this except remove the spaces between the brackets…I had to include them or they wouldn't appear:
