I have to say that although this episode and the one or two before were good enough for me to not notice Ward wasn't in them, he does still get to be my favourite character along with Davos. Never would have I guessed after the first two or three episodes that what I thought was just an annoying, slightly mellifluous…

Haha, I thought about it too when I saw the trailer.

That makes my feelings about it a little ambivalent. On one hand it would be nice to have a well-written and beautifully played villain that also happens to be a gay character, on the other one people could complain because "the character of colour is in love with the bland white guy because of course he would" which…

As I am for you.

<quote>I’m not sure if it was an intentional gag, but there were a couple moments in this episode where Danny and Colleen were framed in intimate settings only for the camera to pull back and reveal Davos was there too. I laughed every time.</quote>

One thing we white people are usually told is to educate ourselves by discussing issues with people of colour, but once we do it's either we're using a tired excuse or our friend is less a person of colour than the other ones. All I said is I talked to someone, but that's apparently never going to make my point valid…

I think that's still different in that Thor is a grown man who is intended to look like an absolutely ridiculous adult and the contrast is so strong it's hilarious. Lewis Tan could definitely have been a type for Thor, for instance.
Danny is still a boy. He could definitely have been Asian, just not Tan. There's a…

Different opinions in threads! Horrific!

I actually get it. The core of the problem is that the US make media for the world so the lenses through which the world gets to know cultures other than their own are often US-centric (and white) so their self-insertion into things is plain irritating. It happens with mere cultures and not just races, it's just who…

Okay, I'll tell everyone who isn't Asian to never do yoga or martial arts again once I stop laughing.

I'll certainly believe my friend over some dude I don't know on the Internet.

Thanks. It's really wild because there are disturbing bits of violence and drugs but I guess as long as we protect kids from the f word and cigarettes…….. Good lord.

Queen Margherita would never have stood for pineapple pizza, you appropriating pricks!

I had no idea. Is this a Disney thing or was it there before already? It's insane.

Exactly. If they were meant to last there would be more obstacles along the way. Like Michael turned out to be for Jafael, basically.

They're just on another level.

So Iron Fist is cultural appropriation because..? Danny has spent 15 years in a foreign fictional country and therefore acts like a native without acknowledging or paying royalties to… No, still don't see it. Again, I knew who to talk to about this and he called bull.
I'll agree Native Americans should kick white…

The irony is that I've shipped Rafael and Petra for centuries but I know they'll screw them in favour of Jane and Rafael so I won't watch anyway. There are no words to quantify the ways they hurt me by killing Michael off.

1) Cultural appropriation as a concept is beyond me because I don't believe in cultures being owned. A white guy learned martial arts. I talked to an Asian friend of mine who asked me why the hell would I think that's a problem. That's all I'm going to say about this.
2) I like how you're acting as if Colleen being a…

Haha, I guess it works like that too. At least in Italian.
