marvel is racist as fuckkkkkk
I think it's pretty stupid of people to call staying true to the comics as racist. I think casting an Asian person would be more racist
Batman is not number 1????
I don't believe it. Shouldn't it be the other way around??
1. Batman
2. Daredevil
???
most of these were not need to know, why do I even try with watch mojo anymore
Personally, I am disappointed in the show. Too much corporate espionage stuff and not enough martial art. Even when there was fighting it was subpar. That crappy "Into the Badlands" show has way better fight scenes.
man the actors kung fu just wasn't doing it for me. it was weak and slow as hell. I expected his Kung Fu to be air tight
I'm fine with the race of the actor, but his acting wasnt up to par. I think they should have gotten him in better shape as well. his acting was really holding him back. and his Kung Fu sucked.
it was like watching a semi decent bboy throw a few punches and kicks.
Shang Chi is the true Kung Fu Master in the Marvel universe. Enough said
3# Every time a white actor gets a role originally portrayed by another ethnicity, there's an outcry, and often rightfully so. But now they are basically they should do it, even in a story where the ethnicity kind of plays a part, and even though it would create more diversity with the main heroes, it would also support a stereotype, so it's really a stupid request that should be ignored for now.
the bad poosy in the bad series.
Everyone is hating on the show not cuz he is white it's cuz the show is complete utter shit
Danny Rand is white in the comics, so it isn't racist to have a white actor play him!
"Nuff said!
+mojo Did you really just say Sub Mariner like Sub MARINE ER ..cmon… say it right…. I gotta be critical on that one dude…. point against you 🙂
the show is shit. last 2 episodes are good, in general it could've been WAY better
They have to bring Doctor Strange to create the defenders or something as a reference. I mean they already have one Sherlock actor on Iron fist, albeit a minor one.
j
so, there is no "heros for hire" only "deneders" ?
who said he's not suppose to be white just so you know I'm to lease to read all these comments plus I don't really care that much
I don't think people are mad because he's white but because most superheroes are either white or black they change white characters to black all the time why can't they make one Asian
Well the show ended up to be a shitfest, well done white people LMAO
The Bruce lee movie show in #1 is actually from the movie "Big Boss" not "fists of fury"
It was a little tough to get through the first few episodes. It started getting good around episode 7 or so, I thought. I will watch the next season too.
Dany Rand is white in the comics and has allways been white, so stop that "whitewashing" crap just because they get the casting right. Forced racial diversity rages amongst comic book movies and shows everywhere these days.
Critics go fuck yourselves
Yeah because all martial artists should be Asian. Great job not being racist sjws.
Boring facts. I thought this would be facts about Iron Fist himself from the comics, not some boring casting and actor facts.
can IRON FIST FLY..? ( THE TV SHOW IN 2017)
"Koon loon" I hate it when videos like these are made and the narrator never pronounces things correctly. It's not hard to look up the correct pronunciation
Bunch of racists don't like whitey that was always whitey. Riddiculous. How about people realize we are in a country with majority white people.
Worst comic series ever by netflix, compete crap.
wouldn't mind if Danny Rand died and Frank Castle took his 0lace in the Defender's. 10% of the entire show was Iron Fist being the Iron Fist, and 80% of it sucked. fuck bring in Moon Knight, he is a badass and will fill that void we all now have.
Ugh… It's Sub-Mariner (suhb – mar – uh – ner) not Submariner (suhb – muh – ree – ner). The hyphenate in the name is the pronunciation indicator. He isn't part of the crew of a submarine… a submariner. He's a navigator of what is below the ocean's surface… a sailor of the deep… a sub-mariner. Look up how to pronounce the word "mariner," and you'll feel a little stupid (or less stupid the next time you actually pronounce it correctly).
Sorry to pick on this, but this is twice now that I've heard this same WatchMojo dude mispronounce this…
Yeah, Iron Fist has always been white and I don't have a problem with them casting a Caucasian in the role. I would however, be really pissed if they cast a White or Asian guy as Luke Cage or Black Panther….just sayin'.
Fucking muricans nowadays with their diversity shit, the fucking character was always white , get used to it, the worst people live in america , my god… white this , black that , yellow this , shut the fuck up for a second about races and colours and enjoy the fucking series, if you dont like it simply dont watch it..
0:47 "Dangerous exposition"
Think you meant to say, Expedition. I don't think he was attending an Exposition with his family. Those aren't dangerous.
in my opinion, the Netflix version is dry and boring. I'm no comic person, but I've see too many shows and movies to know this is shit compared to luke cage and daredevil
My name is Danny Rand and I am the Iron Fist, but I never use the Iron Fist that often when its useful.
Danny rand is white both in the comic and the show, yes . Does it have to be ?. No. Look at the Kingpin play by Michael clarke duncan or Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm just to name a few . BTW show sucks, lost interested moment the intro rolls in.
Any chance of Marvel doing something with "Master of Kung-fu"? One of my favorite comic books when I was a kid and more of Marvels take on the TV show Kung Fu. Thoughts?
I know that he is suppose to be white. But the guy who plays Danny rand freakin sucks at martial arts. I just wanted someone who can really do some damage and make me believe.
he cant fight for shit, thats not ironfist.try again this time with feeling.
I hope they re-cast iron fist. that actor is just terrible for the role
wrong stuff number1 when you saidkung fu craze that movie wasnt fist of fury it was big boss and it was made 1971
Show pretty good on Netflix
make 1 of Tarzan plsss
in all the videos I've seen talking about this series and this particular Marvel character (who happens to be one of my most favorite), why is it never…and I mean never mentioned that is love interest/girlfriend/fiancé is a black woman…Mercedes (Misty) Knight? has America or the world seen too much of that?! Luke Cage (black man) is married to Jessica Jones (white woman), and they have a daughter together–the producers of Jessica Jones showed that (not them being married…yet). so, why not show that in this series? then again, the actress they have playing Misty Knight in Luke Cage is older than Finn Jones, and maybe that's why they're seemingly hinting at a romantic relationship…or sexual tension between Colleen Wing (Misty Knight's best-friend/business partner in Daughters of the Dragon detective agency, who she saved from being raped) and Danny Rand. side bar, Colleen Wing is a master swordsman and samurai with an ancient blade that she uses. is that even in the show? finally can someone please explain to me this controversy of a white man playing a white comic book character? are they of the mindset that since Marvel took a white character like Nick Fury and made him black (Samuel L. Jackson), that they should've did the same casting an Asian actor to play Iron Fist? if that's the case, the series should incorporate the Marvel character Shang-Chi who was his (Iron Fist) unspoken rival. both are evenly matched in fighting style and skills, and he's Asian. maybe Marvel and the producers could give that character the black girlfriend…that's an interracial relationship we never see on television…just saying.
Anyone who wants someone of Asian decent is a dumbass. The idea of iron fist was that he was an outsider who didn't belong in k'un lun. And he wasn't born in k'un lun. He was born in New York.
So Chloe Bennett is a SJW? So sad to see such blatant racism being portrayed as diversity. If they thought an Asian character would have been better, they could have gotten Shang Chi which was a contemporary of Iron Fist. Lots of drama in his background which would have been perfect for this series. Maybe they will have him in a future episode.
Awesome tv show love it
