    Does anyone think that the ironfist should have chi through both of his hands? It's bothering me more than it should, I wonder if it will happen as he becomes more one with himself. I loved this series!
    I've read IronFist ever since the 70's. In every comic book, only his right hand was the IronFist.
    I'm wondering if they are ever going to use a mask on Rand though. While he is the IronFist, throughout the series, he just seemed like an ordinary Joe with the power of the IronFist. Unlike when Matt Murdock dons the Daredevil costume which makes him that much more "herioc" looking.

    Luke Cage got the short end of this one. Jessica looks near invincible, Danny comes off way better than his own series, and Daredevil stays true to the excellent level of his own series. The fight scenes throughout are very Daredevilesque, as it should be given the opportunity.

    Luke just seems...castrated. He's down to one woman (albeit a good choice), and even Danny whoops his butt.
    Well he did get hit by a truck. In the comics, when Luke gets hit by bullets, he grimaces because it still really hurts. And he charges anyone shooting to disarm them anyway he can so they will stop. He also could have done more "Powerman" stuff.

    I'm just disappointed the Punisher didn't show up at the last battle to *kitten* everyone up.

    Finished last night. It was good, I feel like it was a bit rushed though... could have used a couple more episodes.

    I agree that it felt a bit rushed. That being said, anyone wanna start making bets for the Daughters of the Dragon and Heroes For Hire spin-offs?

    Don't worry. We will have a whole series of him whooping all kinds of tail.

    I really liked it but it's true that the plot was somewhat lacking. The characters and interactions are awesome though.

    Just a spoiler here






















    In the comics, Misty Knight and Danny Rand end up being a couple, but somewhere along the way Colleen and Danny have a baby together.

    Daredevil always gets the best of Punisher.

    Except when he gets shot in the head.

    Which he survived in the show. In the comics, Daredevil is far superior to Punisher in hand-to-hand combat. Every time that I can think of, his encounters with Daredevil end with is incarceration.

    Well yeah, guns are the Punisher's forte, not hand to hand combat. They couldn't just kill off the Daredevil every time they go against each other. Even though it's way more likely.

    Man, we're nerding out hardcore. I love it.

    I will say that I thought Iron Fist's fight scenes were VASTLY improved over his own series. They used to look like he was fighting underwater, his movements were so slow. It was difficult to watch.

    This time just his character was unbearable to watch

    Ok so I have one more episode to watch and, in the meantime, can someone catch me up on the whole Matt's two lives colliding and his no longer fighting crime and Karen and Foggy being all worried about it thing? Daredevil was the only show I couldn't get into so I've only seen the first half of season one.

    Obviously spoilers are AOK!

    Please and thank you. :)

    You may have bad taste in television.

    Matt faces the same struggle any hero does, the people he cares about are in the line of fire of the people who want him dead.

    Foggy and Karen know about his secret and begged him to stop because they don't want him to die and foggy thinks he can do better justice as a lawyer.

    Spoiler free rundown that answers your questions.

    Also daredevil and electra had a thing and she died.

    And daredevil found a big hole in a warehouse.

    OMG. We finished Ironfist and are almost all the way through The Defenders--last episode tonight. Ironfist is even worse than I thought! He is the absolute worst! Worse than Aquaman!! He's not even a character; he's a plot device, he's the woman in the fridge. Everything about the show is very good except Danny Rand. UGH!
