Marvel's Iron Fist: The Netflix Series

[jye4ever]

I do own the Transformer movies.

 

[RIDDICK]

I know. And I still don't understand why.

 

[jye4ever]

Well, really for 2 reasons.

Ok 3 if you count how hot Fox was in 1.

Reason 1: I actually think 1 is a decent enough action movie.

Now yes the others are "bad" movies of varying degrees, my brain comprehends that but...

Reason 2: Something about the combination of giant robots, destruction, hot girls and exotic cars speaks to my gorilla mind and since I am also a tech junkie I find them to be great audio/visual tech demos both in 2D and 3D.

Same reason I own that Speed Racer movie.

Not because it's a good movie, because hands down it has the best colors and digital sharpness to have ever been pressed onto a movie disc.

The way my wife likes clothes I enjoy calibrating tv's.

A little more than a month to go. Looking forward to 3/17.

Seems like it's taking forever to get here.

 

[jye4ever]

Well it's been confirmed that

Spoiler

he does NOT get to wear his costume during his first season, they said they're trying to keep it grounded for now. Oh well, grounded worked for Logan so i'm willing to let it go as long as the show is great like Logan was a great movie, but still...Booo.

Sucks, but not a huge deal. Perhaps for Defenders?

The showrunner has already said that Matt and Danny will be the only costumed heroes in Defenders so I think we will get it then.

Cool wasn't aware of that, I can sleep better tonight knowing that now lol.

Some asian girl was bullying him all night for being white.
Her reasoning is that this character needed to be played by an asian actor because of the martial arts. Something about cultural appropriation. She kept harrasing him over the role to the point that he quit twitter. She said only asian actors should play martial arts characters because it is part of their culture.

More people might have attack him but evetything started with that one chick

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

But Danny Rand is a white dude

 

[crows]

Thats what everybody told her but she said this was netflix chance to fix the cultural appropriation problem

 

[DinoDB1975]

As a minority, I believe that there are issues with cultural appropriation and whitewashing.

But this chick is an idiot. She obviously doesn't know the character.

FFS

I would be more inclined to entertain her argument if

1. Non Asians doing martial arts was more pervasive in entertainment. Thats not something I've observed.; and

2. The character Danny Rand/Iron Fist didn't have a long standing history of doing martial arts. It's not as though he was just created, or was traditionally a boxer or wrestler. The source material (regardless of the character's race) has always been that IF was a martial arts expert.

 

[matticus]

Isn't it racist to think all Asian people are martial artists?
