And the courts are filled with criminals using the "purple guy made me do it" defense.

I miss conventional network television where shows had to hit the ground running in the pilot episode, or they wouldn't get picked up in the first place.

Danny's naivete is too annoying and inconsistent. His evasiveness and hostility is obviously driven entirely by how much info the show wants to reveal to the audience, rather than his actual personality.

Danny did almost kill him with that psycho car stunt. I can't blame for being defensive. Sure, we all trust Danny because we've read the comic books and know his back story. But to Ward, he's just a delusional hobo who keeps breaking in.

Isn't Madame Gao supposed to be Crane Mother? Aren't they fighting the Hand?

Ha. I forgot about that!

An anti-hero does not simply mean a flawed hero. If that was the case, then 90% of main characters in fiction, from Achilles to Willy Loman to Donald Duck are anti-heroes.
A true anti-hero is a protagonist whose values and motivation are directly antithetical to conventional morality, but whom we may reluctantly…

I am three episodes into Iron Fist and already I'm wishing Diamondback would just show up and start killing everybody.

She aged out. CW series all take place in the Logan's Run universe.

The Second one had Catwoman as a lead.

Like Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith??

Same thing. If you make a villain the lead character in a show, he becomes - by definition - an anti-hero.

I know he's supposed to be some kind of weird germophobe. Couldn't they have just fist-bumped Howie Mandel style? Or is that too informal for the Oval office?

I'm confused. There isn't any hand-shaking in the video at all.

Give me a Shang-Chi movie and I couldn't care less what direction they take Iron Fist.
I'm surprised there hadn't been a movie already, given how central China is to Marvel Studios marketing strategy.

Iron Fist debuted after Shang Chi.

If you're writing a detective story, then plots are frequently going to "come out of nowhere", or to be more specific, they come from random clients who suddenly walk into your office with odd problems.

A perfectly average, super-buff white dude.

I don't feel comfortable telling anybody that they shouldn't be offended by something.

Not at first it didn't.
