"It's me, Danny. This creepy goon wants to burn down the hospital… I'm gonna use all my Iron Fist energy to stop him destroy his brass knuckles!"

Why are you guys all forgetting it will have 13 episodes, not 10? So it will have three episodes at the start where the Punisher has to prove that he is the Punisher.

"Luke Cage" may have worked better as a cheesy action series but it is not what they were going for.

Why the hell did Ward wait until that day to get rid of this particular X-Ray after destroying every other record - and before Danny gets there? Is he telepathic? Did he also see a skateboarder in the street?

It is bad enough that Bruce Wayne doesn't have any aunt or distant cousin willing to adopt him. You get used to the idea that he has to be raised by his butler, I guess.

And anyway, the only Asian cast member is… sensei of a dojo. So much for avoiding stereotypes.

"Few lines, pause, few more lines. Pause. Response, pause, response continues. There is probably also looking at the ground pensively or something like that."

"It's like watching aliens from different planets talking to each other. It's clear none of the actors ever saw what anyone else who wasn't in their direct scenes was doing"

Like "Jessica Jones", it definitely has this late-season-"Dexter" quality. There was even mention of a Ghost Dad! I can't wait to watch the next episode in a few months when nothing else is on.

Danny's heroics so far:
- stalks every woman he meets
- beats up kids
- his only goal is to get daddy's billions
- fights the Hand

It got so much better after this episode, because I went to see "Logan".

Actually, Lois needs to just disappear between two movies and maybe Superman can mention "Things didn't work out…". That is the kind of female characters and connected universe storytelling the MCU fanboys crave.

Judging by the IGN grades, "Iron Fist" never actually gets better. But the people who have already watched the whole thing seem to love it (perhaps not surprisingly) and are coming up with various theories to explain the reviews.

Well it is clearly a rip off from "Arrow", not a spin-off. But the Arrowverse is on average so much better than the MarvelNetflixverse by now, so I wouldn't believe it.

Hell, in this episode, Harold says something to the effect of "There are no monasteries where the plane went missing, and the Order of the Crane Mother does not exist," which he immediately follows with "I'm starting to believe his story."

But at least the Sarah changes so it doesn't get boring.

What if the first four seasons of "Gotham" were about Batman as a kid?

Let's just hope the dozens of "Inhumans" fans won't be disappointed.

The same thing happened in the last season of "Dexter".

Not sure that is the problem, plenty of serialized cable shows manage to do just fine telling a story with 13 episodes - "The Magicians", for example. If these boring first episodes are not important for the plot of the season (and the pilot wasted so much time that I can believe it), that is on the writers or Marvel.
