I’m up to episode 8 of Iron Fist. It was like watching a live-action recreation of a comic book, in terms of the scenes and plot development. I didn’t have that feeling while watching the other TV MCU series. They were more like hour-long movies.
Danny’s fight with the drunk guard was a ripoff (or homage) to Jackie Chan’s Drunken Master, and serves no other purpose than as an opportunity for Danny to lose control and beat the guy’s face to a pulp. I was neither surprised nor moved, because it was an obvious setup to Danny’s inevitably learning Gao killed his parents and then inevitably charging Gao in a rage but at the last instant not killing her. Predictable.
Weakest episode yet.
