Yeah. So much potential for this show though. Hopefully they address it in the Defenders. Seems like they could have made a much tighter 6-8 Episode show vs 13 episodes and spent the additional monies on stuff we're discussing.

I agree about Keanu and John Wick, the same could be said of his King Fu scene in the Matrix. Cut out all the wire work from that scene and you still get that each actor owned the swagger and presence they displayed.

Especially for a character who is supposed to be a living weapon. Aside from the Iron Fist power, Danny Rand fights as if he'd be able to be defeated by real life black belts. And I think they should have given him much more training. His martial arts moves lack conviction and they look like choreography. In each…

The problem with Iron Fist is that it doesn't earn any of the emotional beats it was hoping to get within it's big reveals/climaxes. In episode 12 alone within a single scene there are so many false threats, so many…

Oh no! I didn't include that part because it seemed like Effie was saying that just to play Hollywood nice nice on film, so as not to be dismissed as the "angry black woman." Remember we're just watching this fiasco, she's got to work in it.

There is a 10 minute recap of Project Greenlight on HBONow that covers the premiere of the Leisure Class movie.

I'm not sure which grandmothers you're talking about. Mine would have slapped me upside the head for leaving this on when there were plenty of better alternatives to watching this mindless pablum.
