The reviews I read even outright ignores things or get facts wrong, all to make a point. It's official: Critics are redundant. We put too much value in their words, and now anyone with a writing gig or a blog can be put alongside actual journalistic reviewers.

Finished all episodes now. I really enjoyed it, more than I did the other MCU Netflix shows. Don't get me wrong, I loved DD and JJ, but they can be a bit bleak to go through at times. Iron Fist is light and fun, while remaining interesting enough for me to keep watching as each episode ends.

Honestly, what's worse is that the reviewers/bloggers who give this show crap for PC reasons are white people. It just rings hollow and feels like it's done for sensationalism and self-promotion.

In layman terms, yeah.

Yeah. The reviews seem to think Danny is some sort of douche who thinks he's better than everyone else just because he took a vacation to the East or something. They're ignoring the fact that he is indeed a superior martial artist, and was raised and trained to achieve that. He's a genuine nice guy.

I did find Luke Cage an interesting portrait of black culture and community, especially to people who aren't African Americans. But the story just feels like a drag. It stops and starts without ever settling into a balanced rhythm. Could've been a good season if it was 8 episodes instead of 13.

Agreed that it is cliched, and I see why people would hate that part. But he gets out of there soon enough, and it's resolved faster than it would've been if it was any other show.

Completely agreed. Some reviewers even implied in their Iron Fist reviews that they gave Luke Cage better reviews while having virtually the same problems this show has because LC was a "black show".

Guess I just have to disagree. I think it's been far more enjoyable than Luke Cage was, and it hooked me at an earlier episode than Jessica Jones did. I really loved JJ but it took me 3-4 episodes to get hooked. I was hooked on Iron Fist from the second episode.

I think what made them think it was impossible is that it's been 15 years, and the accident happened in the middle of nowhere. Even if people survived the crash, how would they have stayed alive and found help?

I'm actually pretty compelled by the story, but that's just me. The characters are likable enough for me to be interested in them. And I feel like the writing and dialogue, while not a winner, are decent. Luke Cage and Daredevil had more stilted and awkward dialogues per episode than this.

"A lot of reviews took issue with him "mansplaining" to Colleen, but I saw that scene as Danny trying to be respectful when entering her dojo and seeking work."

I'm Asian and I hate the criticism this show is getting in regards to that. In fact, it's actually racist to want Danny Rand to be an Asian.

I'm up to episode 6 and so far it's been really entertaining. It's not as visceral as Daredevil was, as intense as JJ was, or a great look at black culture and community Luke Cage was, that's for sure. But it's enjoyable and light enough to make you keep going through the episodes. It's certainly far from the

I love Arrow, but for each cool fight scene they have, they also have like 10 bad fight scenes.

While I've been enjoying Legion, you're really making that guy's case. Legion definitely feels like it seems weird just for the sake of being weird.

I feel like they're on par with the average Hollywood fight scenes. It's unfortunate, but fight scenes with fewer cut-and-edit are actually not the norm. That's why we get amazed when they're done so well. Compared to Daredevil, for example, I agree that this falls through somewhat. But not that bad.

Ugh, back in one of my AV class in college we were trained to notice things like that. It's called having a good/bad mise en scène. It's almost impossible to enjoy any movies or shows without turning that part of my brain off. Almost every movies and shows have those kind of mistakes in varying degrees.

Legends, boring? Blasphemy!
