DragonSinger Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I've never read the comics and this looks corny as hell to me. When the other Marvel shows' trailers dropped, they always made me damn near giddy to watch them. This made me feel nothing except a twitch of interest when the old lady appears. Danny Rand and the other bad guys are just blandy mcbland. They really should have gone with the Asian dude as the lead(blonde highlights in his hair for bitchy fans) because he had a better onscreen presence and fighting wise definitely had a better refined style. And it's not just because the lead was kept white. The guy playing Daredevil didn't come off this bland either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Never read the comics either but I'll still be watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameraka Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 i found it entertaining if not on par with the other marvel/netflix shows. the dialogue was pretty clunky and some of the acting was a bit hammy. i don't get the hate for the fight choreography though. i also don't remember jessica henwick being that hot on game of thrones. might have to rewatch those episodes...

CAC Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 It was a bit disappointing for me honestly. I do not like the main character. But other than that, the rest of the cast was great. Some of the writing was meh and so was the fighting, but I think if there's a second season they'll have all that worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Second half blows the first half away. Too many people tried stoking controversy combined with a slow first half to dismiss the show when it ended up pretty good. Also fuck Enter the Badlands.

Jman Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Got kinda sick of people going "oh, watch Enter the Badlands instead!" when the premise makes no freaking sense and the first episode bored me to tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonSinger Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 why?, does it have a male gay character or some other minority you don't like? ::]:: Jman's mad because Iron Fist is getting clowned on especially in comparison to Into the Badlands whose showrunners were like, 'Hey, our lead is like a total badass in martial arts, it'd be a good idea to actually cast someone good in it, don't ya think? Oh and everyone should have proper training for their fights.' Competent decisions like that are probably why Into the Badlands has scenes like this: While Iron Fist has badly cut shit like this because the lead actor can't even perform the simplest of fighting moves: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Badlands fucking sucks. The plot sucks, and I love Kung fu films and most of AMC's content. But it's fucking stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competent decisions like that are probably why Into the Badlands has scenes like this: While Iron Fist has badly cut shit like this because the lead actor can't even perform the simplest of fighting moves: I was just asking because Jman apparently thinks all male gay characters are instant stereotypes and should never be part of a story, same with Trans characters (he insists he's okay with lesbians though) he also thinks you can't have a latino Character be LGBT or they're automatically ruined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 ...No Mochi. Badlands is just...bad. And it's like, you give me popcorn and a Shaw Bros. movie for two hours, and I'm pretty happy. Inframan was awesome, Master of the Flying Gulliotine and Five Deadly Venoms are classics, etc. But Badlands...sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 On the second season of Badlands now, show is actually really good. Love the fights too, they actually know what there doing unlike Iron Fist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 No, Badlands sucks. And Iron Fist was far from perfect. It wasn't terrible, but the first half is slow and it builds, but there's a lot I would have done with the pacing and the early fight scenes. Badlands fucking sucks.
