Well I finished the last 3 episodes of Iron Fist. Episode 11 was okay, 12 was pretty awesome though and featured easily the best fights in the whole series. The two fights in Central Park were amazing. Unfortunately, the final villain turned out to be pretty damn lame and petty and the end battle was just as lame. Also, the cliffhanger ending was kind of meh.
Overall, this show was a mixed bag. Looking at it on its own, it was a decent series. The story would have been a lot tighter had it been 8-10 episodes as it felt like they were starting to straggle with what they wanted to do. Colleen and Claire were hands down the best characters in the show and they are really what made it. Every piece of snark that came out of Claire's mouth was just perfect. Danny was a bland protagonist and he seemed to get more selfish as the show went on, which is a shame because he started out as this fish out of water character only to become the spoiled rich boy that wants everything to go his way. And then when he gets his way, he still isn't happened. God damn entitled rich millennial!
The Meachums were hit or miss too. At first they were interesting, but then it seemed like the writers had no idea what to do with them and the father was utterly worthless. He is what really dragged the show down quite a bit. He couldn't even give us a good god damn fight scene.
Now compared to the other Marvel shows, this is easily the weakest of them all. I know I had issues with Jessica Jones, but at least she had the Purple Man to keep me engaged. Also, as I have said before, for being a show about martial arts, the fighting was absolutely no different than any of the other series (sans the 12th episode and one of Colleen's previous fights). Sadly though, this show lacked the atmosphere of DareDevil and the incredible camera work of Luke Cage. Also, the music was hit or miss. I love the Tron-sounding opening, but the best of the music barely ever seem to have presence to it.
Lastly, compared to all of the current comic book shows, this is also one of the weakest with perhaps only Agents of Shield and Legends of Tomorrow being lower than it. Although, I can't comment on Legion since I have no interest in wasting my time on an X-Men related show that doesn't even have any X-Men in it.
In the end, I'm going to give Iron Fist a 7/10.
