Like Black Panther for example, 97/100 critics gave it glowing reviews, but let your bias showed and just flat out gave it a 1/10. Critics gave Black Panther good review because they're afraid of being labeled as "racist" if they give Black Panther an honest and accurate review. And being labeled a "racist" is a career-killer because it's 1 of the 2 worst things that someone can be labeled as. The other is being labeled a "pedophile". Just ask James Gunn. And I wasn't bias. I gave Black Panther an honest and accurate rating since the critics were afraid to do so. Do you think they gave Iron Fist a bad review because they didn't want to be considered racist after the negative reaction about the casting of Finn Jones?
I agree with your earlier post about Iron Fist Season 1. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be after what everyone was saying.

Just watched the first episode last night, huge improvement over season 1. It had to be better almost by default, but also because of the audience's familiarity with the characters and the world of IF. My biggest takeaway was the improvement of Danny Rand as a character. He was the worst character on his own show in season 1, now he actually feels like a worthy protagonist. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I will admit that I hated the ending. I just watched the finale last night. What the heck was up with those cheesy guns Iron Fist had? They better switch the fist back. Danny is the Iron Fist, not Colleen. It just seemed to go into CW DC territory the last 20 minutes or so. Besides that, the season was excellent. I just hated almost the entire finale. After all this we see a Colleen and Davos fight as the final battle? Isn't this Danny's show?

I gave Black Panther an honest and accurate rating since the critics were afraid to do so. Is it "accurate" if it's based on watching a grubby online copy of the film? Its been plainly obvious from past posts you couldn't make out what was going on on-screen at times.

Finished season 2 and enjoyed it very much. Fight scenes improved significantly and 10 eps seems just right. The female characters -Joy, Colleen, Mary, Misty - are strong and Davos is a compelling vilain. The ending left me wanting more. Mary is the only i would change I found her wooden,as much as i like Alice eve she kinda sucked in the role. She was miscast anyway Other than that perfect 10 Are you kidding? Alice Eve was awesome as Mary, she was the best part of the whole season. Fantastic performance.

Kat would have been much better she has the biker chick look

Nothing badass about her coleen was more awesome

Just finished Iron First season two and was very pleasantly surprised. Very interested in getting the backstory on how he became Gun Fist.

After all this we see a Colleen and Davos fight as the final battle? Isn't this Danny's show? Really enjoyed Season 2...nice to see a gradual expansion of the TV universe with Typhoid Mary and the finale If you want to know what the end meant check out the spoiler below The guy who shipped the corpse, and the "boss" that they mentioned was Orson Randall. He was/is one of the earlier Iron Fists. As well as having the power of the Iron Fist he also mastered "gun-fu" with guns that fire lightening from God!!. Now whether in the show Danny has the power of the Iron Fist back and it allows him to use the guns he stole, or if they have just the power within the guns I don't know.
Also gun-fu was one of the techniques originally used by the Pirate Queen....Colleen's ancestor. The Pirate Queen was also an Iron fist
I'm hoping they have some flasbacks in Season 3 to Randall's past. He fought in WWI with Freedom's Five...a team that included Union Jack, who I'd love to see on screen

I don't want to read any of the above posts in case of spoilers but I will say I rewatched Iron Fist Season 1 last week and it wasn't really that bad, I don't think I'd even say it was the worst MCU Season now.
Seen four episodes of Iron Fist Season 2 and it's better so far.

Finished season 2, yeah it was good much better than Jessica Jones season 2 anyway.
I'm mixed on the last episode because it really should have been Danny in the final fight with Davos. No Bloody Mary either but that's probably going to be in the next season.
As for the guns, that's a comic thing apparently.

I've said for a long time that Iron Fist wasn't bad and was better than what the critics rated it. The worst of the Netflix shows is definitely Jessica Jones. Jessica Jones is really boring and crappy and is the absolute worst superhero TV show ever.

I liked Jessica Jones Season 1 because David Tennant as Killian made the show but Season 2 was probably the worst MCU Netflix show I've seen so far, that one was kinda boring.

But Knightwing is also the name of their detective agency in the comics.
