the Pakistani-American teen who is Marvel’s first Muslim superhero.

I discovered this movie from the Brows Held High review. I quickly tracked down a copy, and it’s freaking amazing. One of my new favorite movies

I’m in the midst of my final two assignments for my degree, so I’m leaving Iron Fist for a binge-watch until after I’m done, however I got the strong feeling this show was onto a loser before it even broadcast. People seemed to hate on it from the second it was announced - not unlike, for instance, the new…

I tend to be instantly turned off by the “things used to be better” track of logic, but the creators here shore up their reasoning with arguments that go beyond nostalgia, and the line of thought serves more as a supplement to the core, which seems like an interestingly constructed and presented game. I’ll be…

I said it earlier. When I see reviews that don’t mention the controversy, I’ll listen. It’s the same reason I ignore critics who start their reviews of any superhero (or action) movie with “Here we have ANOTHER action movie...”

Didn’t he train in a mystic city for 10+ years where he learned how to make his fist glow with his inner strength? So, maybe he does know a bit more about it than she does? Coming from an Asian heritage equals knowing Kung Fu? Just spit-balling here.

I’ll be taking all these bad reviews of Iron Fist with a HUGE GRAIN OF SALT until i see it for myself.

Nooo, do not remember. Continue to live in blissfull ignorance. Here, let me help:

Much more interesting show? If it used this HG wells and linked it to another show that will be missed:

If Marvel could introduce a line of ongoing series divorced from the standard quarterly crossover cataclysms, I’d be all in.

They must bring these to life! THEY! MUST!

His stint hosting Jim Henson’s The Storyteller was certainly more memorable than some of these. One of the best TV shows of all time.

Top notch. I was just thinking the same thing myself. “When did io9 get political... oh shit, we ARE in an alternate dystopian reality hellscape often depicted in science fiction!”

Hey, I come to io9 to not have it thrown in my face about how blindingly incompetent and horrifying the current administration is.

Checklist for being the biggest badass on the planet:

Pretty sure John Fucking Lewis knows more about how to effectively protest than you.

We lost this election through apathy.

“I live in a country Russia invaded so no, I will not chill out, and neither should you.

These three separate threads are getting out of hand, and causing us both to repeat points. I’m going to consolidate them here.
