The Accidental Subtext of Iron Fist

So...Just finished the first season of Marvel's Iron Fist on Netflix, and...

I've got BIG problems with the execution that are pretty far-ranging, but that's been made obvious by the fact that this entry even exists. There is definitely a lot to unpack, but let me get one thing out of the way first. It's not the absolute worst. There's certainly a lot to be desired, and I'll get to that, but the show is not complete garbage. It's not The Cape. That said, I'm about to air some grievances like it's Festivus. Spoilers ahead...

I've got A LOT OF PROBLEMS with this show...and you're gonna read about 'em!!

The Assholes Always Lose

For some reason, I don't ever see myself writing for some other site as a very likely possibility. Actually, the reason is probably that I'm primarily an opinionated jackass. Which means, of course, that I naturally don't know when to shut up at times. Good thing I've got this outlet. Otherwise, I might have to start drinking...

At least then I'd have an excuse for wearing this cape...

That being the case, I still seem to be better about putting my foot in my mouth (both literally and figuratively) than even I would expect. And I know this because I realized one simple truth in life over my limited years: You don't always decide where the line is drawn.
