They weren't TV directors for the most part, but really talented independent and unique filmmakers the show went out and requested - Caleb Deschanel, Tim Hunter, Tina Rathborne, James Foley, future cable impresario Lesli Linka Glatter, even Uli Edel. They were for the most part very talented. Was every episode genius,…

It will be glorious.

Gorgeous.

I wrote a Halloween sequel in the 90s which wasn't far off from this.

That's a point in Jonah Ray's favor AFAIC

That's rough, buddy.

Every time.

Why do you suppose the Japanese don't give a shit?

I have previous exposure to the property and I think it looks alright. It's not like the GITS crew did not sift through the baggage of William Gibson themselves.

Yeah, I know all about it. But the story of Iron Fist (at least as reimagined in the last few decades) is about the white dilettante being schooled and made noble and heroic by the people of K'un Lun, not him saving them. He earns his place.

The show can be bad (or good) but it has nothing to do with whether or not Danny Rand is remade as Asian, and focusing on that as a critique of the show (which can easily be bad on its own merits) or as a thrust of this newswire is IMO a mistake.

The fuck is this shit
