yikes

It could've worked if it was like the original where Danny comes seeking revenge only to have Harold be a vegetable and Joy thinking Danny killed him

Ward was the best part of that series.

>It's Fantastic Four levels of brand taint.

Nope. Worse. The Fantastic Four are 'Marvel's first family', despite the less than stellar adaptations people still have fond memories of them and people know who they are. In his case he didn't get to penetrate the public conscience of Pop culture and in this day and age with heightened cultural sensitivity and outrage, if they were gonna get it done they needed to get it done correctly. First time round.

Danny had a lot of good will come his way after the Immortal Iron Fist series did gangbusters and was critically acclaimed. Unfortunately, we live in a world where one blog that has a lot of erroneous information can spread like wildfire and in this case it literally got a head of Marvel, Jeph Loeb and his team.

He's now Marvel's Aquaman and look how long from the Superfriends it took for Aquaman to build up his reputation in Pop culture. Good thing for Arthur is he hasn't been branded as racist and antiquated in the way that Danny has. The only hope is that Shang-Chi becomes really popular, and like the comics is considered the premier martial artist in the Marvel cinematic universe, and after years when the stink from the Marvelix fades and then they try again, but I don't know if it's going to be a big announcement and if they do they're probably gonna cast straight away so there's no chance for a groundswell of racebending demands to happen. I think a joint Heroes for Hire property seems more likely at this point.

Kevin Feige said he wanted to make both properties. Shang own comics has material for the scriptwriter to draw from. Just update his origin. However, if the leaks are true there's going to be a secret tournament, a dragon of alien origin and apparently he's also going to be an orphan? This is going to cause more people than not to ask why there even needs to be another Iron Fist adaptation in the first place.

well I've always viewed Shang as a more James Bond X Bruce Lee type character while Iron Fist had the crazy lore. I don't think it's redundant to do them even if Shang's movie has all those elements.

I did like that Colleen Wing actress though.

Yep. People that say Jessica Henwick's Colleen Wing was the best part of the show honestly make me roll my eyes. The people saying that are either the ones that fancy her or that ones that were desperate for an Asian-American Iron Fist. People LOVE to come for Finn and drag him but she was bad, too. The best character, the best actor AND the best character arc by miles was Tom Pelphrey's Ward.

Her acting was annoying as hell and so obviously. If I was the casting director I wouldn't have hired either of them. Nor Mike "Black hole of Charisma" Coulter.

You would think the woke crowd would have been pissed that they never showed the first major interracial couple in comics on TV but I guess they hate Danny that much. A shame because I really like the idea of an older Misty with a younger Danny.

You and me both, user. But, the people that helped ruin Danny's IP potential wasn't just a Twitter hashtag, but journalists that wrote numerous articles bashing Iron Fist and goading on the people bullying Finn Jones on Twitter . They're voice is going to be the first thing people see when they look up news about Iron Fist or Shang. I'm sure we're going to see loads of people are suddenly Shang fans that not so subtly shade Danny. They are definitely going to be pushing the narrative that we don't need Iron Fist.

We have to just hope that Kevin Feige comes through on his promise and doesn't let his alleged hate of Jeph Loeb get in the way.
