i said this when it was i development but why marvel netflix was willing to put themselves on the summer jam screen for iron fist of all characters id beyond me.
the character and his lore are problematic for the world they set up.
his whiteness doesn't play in 2017
the show runner scott buck didn't seem all that invested.
just seem like a giant L waiting to happen.

Well they did lock him up before he finally got his coffee so it may be the main focus of S2

Hasn't the character always been white? People dumb if they're hating on the actor for that.

Reviewer's seem tight that he's a white dude who knows kung fu. Meh, will probably still enjoy.

That's all you took from the reviews?
The overarching complaint was that it was a boring drama from the start with very little action in it. And when they do have action scenes it's short and not that great
Only 1 review mentioned him being white.

They sound like the people in the Bruce Lee bio movie who were mad Bruce was teaching martial arts to everyone.

Saw all that. I don't mind the lack of action if the story is fine

The same folk, upset/uncomfortable white folk, who didn't like Luke Cage are all defensive in comments on sites

No review would stop me from checking out the Netflix MCU anyways. If it's really boring i'll just cut my binge short.

Nah, no matter how bad I'm finishing IF. There's only been a few shows so bad I refused to finish em. I fought my way through 6+ seasons of Weeds and Dexter although I couldn't stand them.

One reviewer claims that the episode directed by RZA seems to capture the Kung Fu Spirit and may be a highlight in the second half.

I still haven't finished weeds. It got so dumb especially with the middle son turning into a psychopath and thinking murder is no big deal.

After reading these reviews, I think IF is their attempt to go back to what made JJ and DD S1 successful in the sense that it'll have one long plot, instead of starting out fast in Luke Cage and DDS2, and having a completely different plot in season 2. I'm cool with that, but I think the lack of action and slow burn is gonna have people be not so receptive.

Yeah can't have another strong first half, ok second half kinda deal. Feels like they're starting slow, and may try to build and end big.

Where are y'all reading reviews? Are they by any sites worth a damb? 
I know recently Finn took a L on twitter and got all that race hate aimed at him about how his character isn't depicted as a white savior in the series but that don't got anything to do with the show as far as Twitter haters.
Then in S2 we would've got Diamondback stalking Luke from the shadows as he tracked down the doctor with Claire and if they want that corny street fight half way through. Then Luke would've got arrested and they'd do what I assume they'll do next season.
Although, I don't know how they're addressing/explaining Luke back in NYC in the Defenders u less that takes place in the future.

No. I meant S1 is strictly all NYC villains so after Cottonmouth it would've Black Mariah and Tombstone Luke had to face or Pirahana Jones or Deadly Nightshade.

Netflix's Iron Fist Reviews
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/marvels-iron-fist-review-984200
After the successes of 'Daredevil,' 'Jessica Jones' and 'Luke Cage,' Marvel and Netflix have their first big misstep
http://www.polygon.com/tv/2017/3/8/14712744/iron-fist-review
Iron Fist is not the strongest of its siblings, but team dynamics being what they are, it’ll no doubt benefit from the association. There will be plenty of folks out there who watch the show to keep up with the overall plot of the Marvel Netflix shows, and to see how Iron Fist presumably sets up for The Defenders later this year. Unfortunately, I can’t say at the moment that there are other reasons to binge.
http://m.ign.com/articles/2017/03/08/marvels-iron-fist-episode-1-snow-gives-way-review
Marvel's Iron Fist starts off sluggishly, seeming far more like a soap opera than a superhero series, complete with bland, pretty, rich people sneering and scheming over family fortunes.
http://variety.com/2017/tv/reviews/marvels-iron-fist-netflix-review-finn-jones-1202004027/
“Marvel’s Iron Fist” is deadly — in all the wrong ways.
Quite a few dramas in the streaming arena have pacing problems, and even Netflix’s better Marvel programs have displayed an affinity for contrived, time-killing subplots. But “Iron Fist” is the most frustrating and ferociously boring example of Netflix Drift in some time.

I'm still going to attempt to binge. I will just have expectations, way down.
