I really couldn't get into Outlander, for some reason. Big fan of Ronald D Moore, and I love Tobias Menzies, but just….Eh. it didn't grab me.

Thanks!

I, what? I…I can't tell if you're serious…

Wait, did I not comment right because I didn't have a boob joke/pun?

I really enjoy seeing more of Danny Sapani after Penny Dreadful (rip).

It did have Eva Green's spectacular …..Eyes in that show.

Anyone that didn't pick up on R+L=J in the books needs to learn how to read. It may be considered "speculation" because it hasn't been explicitly stated, but it's less little hints and more reading comprehension.

Luke Cage had one thing IF lacked, which was a creator who loved the project. Or at least, something about the project.

Except the show decides that in 15 years, all Danny can do is barely function as an adult, and spout vaguely Buddhist sounding lines in addition to be The! Iron!Fist! Oh, and mangling Mandarin. Because they speak Mandarin Chinese in a fictional city. Do we know if the episode titles are actual Kung-Fu moves? Or were

A more appropriate analogy, using you examples, are:

By all means, that's your right. And the great thing is you actually have a channel to voice your opinion.

Mea culpa. Jazz, then.

No, the idea of Ironfist, created in the 70s because audiences couldn't handle an East Asian-male led superhero comic, with obvious riffs on Bruce Lee (and due in part to the popularity), is culturally appropriative white washing, and plays into the trope of the best person for the job is a white male. Which is

This is kind of nitpicky, but I want to say how well done Davos' "out of touch with modern culture" was compared to what we initially saw with Danny. Like, somehow, this guy managed shoes.

Uh, cultural appropriation is about using another's culture as window dressing without acknowledging the context of the particular context of the tradition/aspect you're taking.

That's fair. It's not like there has to be significant themes/undertones (such as accomplished the best in Jessica Jones - personally, I think DD and Luke Cage were light on that front) - but if they were interested in going deeper, the idea of straddling two worlds on a figurative level happens in first and second

I read somewhere that talked about instead of an East Asian Danny, or a Caucasian Danny, that an actor of Indian descent could 1. Avoid the white savior trope and the Asians know Kung Fu trope, and 2. Still reflect on themes of reclaiming cultural heritage/outsider/caught between two worlds business.

Maybe it'll be like that one actor in Deadwood! He played Bill Hickock's shooter and the sociopathic hooker murderer.

I'm…Not inclined to say Finn Jones does either, from my experience of his as Loras and Danny.

The best thing to come out of this show is that it introduced me to Lewis Tan.
