dude trained for 15 years with these elite monk type figures, mastered his emotions and martial arts and becomes the iron fist then nearly every episode he has an emotional meltdown and his fighting skill looks like that of a novice, k.

even editting cant make it looks acceptable

56 cuts in a 35 second long fight scene..

oh lawdy. that crap drives me crazy. what i really enjoyed about john wick are the longer smoother shots.

Just went through the first 6 episodes and IMO it's better than both Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

Fight scenes are average and as JudgeTedd said he does come across as an average fighter a few times ( especially in the container fighting that Asian dude ).

Either way worth a watch IMO

Started watching it this morning.

It's entertaining enough to keep me watching after the first two episodes, but I'm already about 99% certain that I'll be giving this a 5.5-6/10 at best. It's pretty rough so far.

As I saw someone else say, the combat scenes are just fucking awful. He's horribly slow, moves are uncoordinated, and often you see that horribly choreographed shit from the 70s where there's a guy sitting there behind Iron waiting for a good 2-5 seconds until he's beaten up bad guy number 1 before he swings his weapon slow as balls (looks like 10% force), for Iron to turn around and block it.

Things that like are just unforgivable in this day and age. The entire shows hinges on this guy being a martial arts master and him being a superhero because of how insanely OP he is with his abilities. When that's what your expecting, and in the first few episodes all you see are badly choreographed fight scenes, stupidly typical and outplayed villains, it sure as shit doesn't inspire hope for a good show. I'm going to try and watch it all. I couldn't get through Luke cause of how terrible it was, hoping this is just a little bit better. Pretty fucking upsetting that these last two have just been fucking terrible. Still doesn't make sense to me that Luke Cage is the highest rated of all of them..... Hate to be racist, but it's fucked up that your show gets the best ratings because you're a black superhero, even though you and everyone else knows it doesn't deserve it.

He didn't master his emotions, the monks taught to surpress not deal. That was like half the point of the show. Sorry you missed it?

Also to the people complaining about the actor saying he isn't buff enough or can't do real fight scenes all I have to say is you are all idiots. Have any of you actually seen monks? They aren't buff as fuck, they are in shape yeah but that's about it. You don't get super toned big muscles by doing the kind of training they do. And the fighting is mostly done by stunt doubles and designed by a coreographer, blaming the actor is absurd.

Plus a lot of the fight scenes look way more real than anything in most action bullshit you see, like something you would see if you watched actual street fights. Also it is a fucking origin story, he hasn't mastered his powers yet so obviously he is weaker than he should be.

IMO the show had a more compelling character lineup/plot than the other shows. The whole company/hand conspiracy stuff was fun. They could have gone more extravagant with the fights but who knows who to blame for that. Either the director or producer or coreographer, someone made the decision to make it more "realistic", blaming the actor is stupid and annoying.

I thought it was a good show

Don't be mad

IF? Seems like you're in the minority on this one. Only 3 episodes in, I'm going to finish it all this week. I got a halfday at work today, if I don't end up having to do family stuff when I come home, I'll probably just binge watch the rest of it. I'm hoping it picks up, but I'm just going to have a hard time getting over the fight scenes if the quality doesn't DRASTICALLY improve and quick. Would be less concerned about it if it wasn't such a pivotal thing to the character.

There is one major plot hole

She super strong

But her body isn't super resilient like cage

Doesn't work

That's not a plot hole, it's how the character was created/written.

It doesn't make any logical sense
