Holy fuck I'm loving this show, and especially episode 2 so far. I'm not sure what's up exactly with Alexandra but I loved that scene where she's listening to the live quartet (or was it a quintet?, I lost count), but she basically gives away that she was alive when Beethoven was and knew about the relationships between him and another musician who's name is escaping me right now.
This is after the "earthquake" in Manhatton and Madam Gao explains that they've found a wall with Kun Lun language written on it, protecting whatever it is they're looking for, and this is a big time tease. I assume this is at the bottom of whatever hole they were digging, but the curious part is the representatives of Kun Lun have been there, and Alexandra brilliantly called it a door, as Kun Lun didn't destroy what they were after. I'm so intrigued. She also referred to it like there were other similar objects so that limits what it might be to me. I used to think it was the beast, but something about the way she said it doesn't sound like it fits the beast at this point, but again, IDK.
Then, my favorite moments were how they wound up looping the heroes together. I really had no idea that Iron Fists quest for the sword maker shop was leading him to the same place that Luke's "friend" was working cleanup for some evil dudes had just murdered the swordmaker shop guys. Danny pulls the hood off of Luke's friend, and then BAM Luke tracks him down. Good shit. And the fight after was badass, ending with Danny knocking Luke halfway down the block after not being able to tickle him up until then. It was a great first meeting.
I hope you all are into this show. It has definitely started out as one of my favorites. |

Really? Outside of Danny knocking Luke The fuck out there wasn't much that got me into it. Granted I haven't finished the show, so hopefully it picks up.

The first two episodes have the best use of color and cinematography I've ever seen in a superhero and comic based TV series, wish the rest of the series had the same stylistic approach outside of the dynamic, dutch angles.

Everything, the way the characters interact is pitch perfect, the way the storylines getting them together have meshed with elements you didn't expect to happen, the backstory of the hand as outcasts, it's fucking great. I've been excited about the entire thing. I'm legit pumped. |

I've been excited repeatedly by a variety of scenes, and almost nothing at all that I would come close to calling a problem, much less "quite a few" of them. |

I've been excited repeatedly by a variety of scenes, and almost nothing at all that I would come close to calling a problem, much less "quite a few" of them. -why did Stick need to kill the black finger? The defenders as well as Stick knew they needed Iron Fist alive, same with the black finger.
-how did Stick not pass out? He was exposed to the same gas that he used on Luke
-the hand should have been darker (we got a pg version, hell they were darker in DDs2)
-seemed like a cop out for the hand to want to return to K'un-Lun and Alexandra suddenly dying (then again I dont like Elektra being the black sky). Also the hand seemed dumb in this. No contingency plans with all their connections. Seemed like Kingpin had actual influence over the city.
-behind the underground entrance was just the ingredient? really? underwhelming...
-the underground fight with that terrible music..what is this? a music video? Did not fit at all... |

Awesome show. I loved it.

Fanboys are annoying. They can't be taken serious.

Defenders was not bad. Definitely better, than the movies. But Iron Fist still fight like a noob. Seriously, they should hire a better choreographer.

Seriously, you didn't list any actual problems. So you need it explained to you how Stick didn't pass out or else you just call it a problem? Them finding the source for eternal life is somehow a problem? The Luke Cage styled music during part of the fight? That's it? These are problems to you?
I'd be glad to discuss anything serious but if those are the types of things you are going to call "quite a few problems", it just sounds like you're looking for things to call problems.
Just relax and enjoy the show man. At the very least be reasonable instead of your first reaction being to lash out at me. Damn.

The first 2 episodes were kinda boring. Not easy to sit through if you're not an MCU fan. But from episodes 3-8 it becomes 1 long adrenaline ride, some of my favorite episodes from any MCU Netlflix shows. Possible the best action scenes.

Having enjoyed all of the Netflix series, I found the first 2 episodes some of the most enjoyable character work I've seen, as they buildup arcs that lead to their meet up and we catch up to what they've been doing. It's all awesome to me.
I honestly don't know how they would appear to somebody who hasn't seen any of this stuff, but the goal isn't to design shows like this for people who wind up watching them without seeing the others.

The first couple episodes were pretty slow going, not particularly great. Daredevil so far has the least amount of impact surprisingly.
Third episode was a bit better and ended quite well. I hear it improves as it goes on so there's that.

It was solid. I love hearing the history of the Hand and watching the interactions of the characters. Great stuff.

There's nothing wrong it. You said lot's of problems and some of the things you mentioned were the source of eternal life being Shou Lao dragons and Stick not being affected by his knock out gas, as though it's not obvious that it doesn't affect him. And these are the things you listed in your first 6. You're already padding out the list, and none of the rest of it was a problem either.
If you have any actual issues I'll be glad to discuss it, but you don't really think that stuff is serious do you?
