Iron Fist’ Packs A Punch That Occasionally Misses

... up a notch when threats start to come from the Hand, “Iron Fist’s” secret group of villains. There are plenty of good things about the show. Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) fights alongside Danny, and may make some wish that she was the Iron Fist. Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) continues to be the link between all the Netflix/Marvel shows and will more than likely be the person to introduce Danny to the other “Defenders.” Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho), who also stars in “Daredevil,” continues to show that she has the power to take down a hero in front of her with one hand, but always chooses to observe before striking. The rare moments where she displays that strength in “Iron Fist” are always fun. You’re probably wondering about that yellow mask and green suit from the comics, right? There’s no sign of it so far, and the series’ producers have hinted it may not show up at all — which could be one more thing for viewers to complain about. (Fanboys love their super-suits.) But if the uniform does make an appearance at the end, just like “Daredevil” did with Charlie Cox’s horned/red suit reveal in the first-season finale, it could ...

... the content that was shot over forty years ago, but finance its completion at the post-production level. There’s no word on release date yet. The Matrix remains one of the most iconic sci-fi films of all-time, and there’s apparently talk at Warner Bros to explore a sort of rekindling its world for viewers again, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But although the initial news hinted at a reboot, people suggest that it may take a more Rogue One approach to the new venture, which might mean exploring something previously unexplored in the timeline of The Matrix.

Finn Jones Hits Back At Iron Fist Asian Controversy

... Asian-American actor in the role of Danny Rand, to avoid the problematic and offensive "white saviour" narrative of the comics and to raise visibility of Asian-Americans. But this was ignored. The controversy shows no signs of subsiding ( take a look at the reviews ), and Jones is unhappy with the furore, claiming that people need to "chill the f*k out". Advertisement - Continue Reading Below. ©  David Giesbrecht/Netflix. "There's so much outrage in the internet these days, right?" he told Vulture. "Why don't people just. look, the issue is that people are judging before they've even seen the show. "C'mon. Don't get angry and start a mob when you don't even - you haven't even seen the show! You don't even know what we're doing with it. It's unjust. It's unfair. "There needs to be more diversity in film and television, in all f*king aspects of life. There needs to be more diversity, period. "Unfortunately, this show was picked on, for whatever reason. I don't fully understand, ...

Re-enter The Immortal Weapon As Iron Fist Returns In New Ongoing

... Resourceful Snake, The Rabbit of Holy Flame, The Long-Armed Bull, The Mountain Slaying Bear and The Divine Wolf. Why seven? Well…there’s a reason for that, but you’re going to have to read to find out. Some of the Seven have very personal vendettas against Danny and/or K’un-Lun. What those are, well that’s something that will be revealed over the series. I will say that the timing of Liu-Shi suddenly inserting themselves into Danny’s life is not coincidental. Mike Perkins did an amazing job in designing these characters - there are a lot of nods to both Iron Fist history and 70 s kung fu flicks (of which I’m a huge fan). I think that readers are going to get a kick out of the new characters. Credit: Marvel Comics. Nrama: Will this tie into the final issues of Power Man & Iron Fist or the Iron Fists title announced last year. Brisson: All three are separate titles that will operate in their own space. There were some things that were off the table for me because they’re going to be dealt with in Iron Fists, but it was fairly easy to navigate around that. Nrama: ...

Marvel's 'iron Fist' Comes To Netflix

... period in the mid-1970 s," Vollmar said. "Another Roy Thomas creation, this time with veteran artist Gil Kane, Iron Fist was Marvel's Kung Fu, a white martial arts master trying to make his way through the world.". Iron Fist appeared in "Marvel Premiere" #15-25 before getting his own series, created by the team of writer Chris Claremont and artist John Byrne, who a few years later would craft some of the best-loved "X-Men" tales. This series ran for 15 issues. "Byrne and Claremont's Iron Fist is probably the best, and it's especially notable for having the first appearance of Wolverine's archenemy Sabretooth," said Dean Compton, blogger at __link__. After the end of Iron Fist's solo series with #15, he then moved over to guest star in the "Power Man" series, which was renamed "Power Man and Iron Fist" with issue #50. This pairing ran for another 75 issues, including many written by Christopher Priest, then known as Jim Owsley. "The run is remembered fondly for the bickering salt and pepper buddy team of Luke Cage, a hardened, street-wise hustler, and millionaire Daniel Rand, a highly educated, refined, philosophical type ...

What Exactly Is Up With Madame Gao, Villainous Leader Of The Hand

... of people he just murdered before strangling somebody with the microphone cord. At least it took Danny using the actual Iron Fist to beat him. 4. Zhou Cheng (Lewis Tan). The drunken master and protector of the Hand that Danny fights in China has a mouth to match his fighting skills. It’s unfortunate that Danny beats him to a pulp, because the dude would have made a good silly nemesis to have show up over and over, whenever the Hand comes after Danny. 3. Bakuto (Ramon Rodriguez). We will always fondly remember Bakuto's inability to smile in a way that doesn't make him appear like an evil schemer. 2. Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson). Unlike in the other Marvel Netflix series, at least Claire gets a chance to do things other than stitch wounds in "Iron Fist." And she's constantly calling out Danny's dumb ideas and stupid plans, making her a great counter to the naive earnestness of the children she's constantly having to ...
