Iron Fist fits in with them , Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , and even The Punisher is getting his own series , which is being filmed now
Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage and Iron Fist , are all leading up to a four episode crossover called The Defenders
I can not wait for the Punisher
Technically , all these Netfilx characters are part of Marvels cinematic universe
If you haven't checked out Daredevil , I highly recommend it
I've gotten through seven episodes. Not that thrilled with it, though the potential of the story keeps me going. I'll probably finish the series, and I liked Daredevil a lot. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, while flawed, were also enjoyable, IMO.
The idea is pretty cool. Kid grows up in the Himalayan mountains, in a monastery, after being rescued by monks. Trained in their form of martial arts, Kung Fu. Lots of potential, as he returns to New York City, his former life, etc. etc.
But I just don't think the lead actor has the physical chops to make it work. He's kinda bland, and seems overly naive, and he doesn't have the physical presence for a martial arts hero, in my view. I never read the comic books, so I don't know how close they're staying with the source material . . . but as film/tv, his performance seems to drag things down for me.
I like the actor playing Colleen Wing. She makes it work. But not the Danny Rand actor (Loras, from Game of Thrones).
What's your take so far? The fight scenes, the sub-plots, the pacing, etc.?
