Iron Fist: Snow Gives Way (2017)
Not even close to the summary of this episode..
I just wanted to say, this was a very fun show, but also the fact that the Summary of this episode is NOT what happened. The summary should be more along the lines of: After being presumed dead, billionaire Danny Rand comes home after 15 years after his plane crashed with him and his parents on board near the Himalayan mountains....
Sorry, couldn't exactly find a way to change the summary... but that is more like it. Good episode though!
Iron Fist (2017)
Fun, and surprisingly intelligent for a comic TV show.
After reading most of the "hated it" reviews, and the critics I realized the critics usually mentioned they were only allowed access to the first 6 episodes, mention the Asian American idea, and also how Danny had zero emotions. Now let me tell you something, Danny Rand, is unemotional in the beginning, but later on it is explained why. It is not racist and here is my reasoning for that, yes it is a white man in an Asian world, but he is an "outsider" in K'un Lun where he was trained, and judged for it. In a way, it kind of turns our world on it's head, making the white man the outsider, giving it perspective, and kind of makes me (a white woman) imagine myself in someone else's shoes as an outsider. That is what I mean by perspective. After reading what the viewers reviews were the "hated it" ones seemed to give up on the show within 2 episodes, or little more. Give the show a chance before you judge it, is all I am saying. As for the fighting, and action and martial arts, yes, kind of, really unbelievable but for someone who enjoys comic movies and shows, for me the unrealistic ones are always more fun (expect Marvel's Agents of Shield, that one seems to get on my nerves). It reminds me of the original batman movies (the ones that were NOT terrible) and the Superman movies of the late 70s. It's fast paced, full of action, there is pretty much a punch landed every episode, and there is an actual plot, that is not all the time obvious. Speaking of the plot, some villains are clearly villains, and then there are the people who you are not sure, and then there are the people who switch sides. It's not as predictable as SHIELD or even Arrow, Flash, or Supergirl. And Madam Gou, I still can't figure out who's side she is on! (Her smiling face messes with my head. Who in the world is that woman working for?!). So yeah, action and stuff. If you watch Arrow think of it as, well, an Arrow like show. Billionaire gone for a couple years (actually 15... not a couple but hey!) comes back to kick butt, and fight crime? Sound familiar?
As for the corny lines... tell me when has a superhero show or movie NEVER had corny lines? They made fun of the corny lines in Luke Cage so they pretty much got away with it there. But at least they didn't say (even though, I would love to say this to someone one day), "Come with me if you want to live..." but the fact that they said the lines, just makes it more fun. It's a comic TV show, you telling me comics don't have corny lines in them? Wow, go and pick one up then, or get a pair of eyes.
Main point: Don't go into the show looking for some life lesson, just go into the show for pure fun. Plot's fast, and there is action. But if you want 100% action, just put on Man of Steel and/or Batman vs Superman, but you won't be getting it from this good show! If you want a plot, then watch House of Cards.
