Feel like I was one of the only ones who liked the first season, so I am looking forward to this.

Good!
|
I only kept watching Iron First because of the cute lass that plays Colleen, but I'll give it another go.
|
Liked the first season, but really hated the fight scenes (too many angle cuts to compensate for shitty fight choreography).
|
I thought the season was pretty okay.
Of course, I ended up really only giving a shit about The Punisher. I like to imagine that The Punisher is a real guy and his super hero friends are all delusional psychotics. God, that'd make a great comic book. |
Can tell you right now this murders last season. Not DD or JJ season 1 levels, but much better.
|
Season 2 was significantly better that the first. I think it also benefits from having 10 episodes, rather than 13; less flab.
|
3 episodes left, worlds better than season 1
|
Finally finished Ozark so ive started this. Def shows that the criticism was heard loud and clear. Season should be very good.
|
My only issue now is while the action choreography is improved, I'm not so sure going the Old Boy direction was right. We already got that with DD and Iron Fist is explicitly a kung fu situation. While I'm not saying it should go full wu xia, some grounding of flashier kung foolery would fit better. I wanted the direction of season 1 simply paced and filmed better (essentially the China episode... all the time).
But it's cool, I guess I can live with this. |
I'm only two episodes in thus far. Eh. I'm feeling it more than season 1, at least... although that is a very, very low bar. That's a plus side about having low expectations; it can only (theoretically) go up from here.

Colleen remains compelling and super cute |

Like season 1 Colleen steals this show.

2 in. REALLY liking it so far. Cage s2 and IF s2 both seem to have made big strides. JJ is the only one with a sophmore slump it would seem.
|
The one that went out of its way to be written and directed by all women. Hmm.
|
The season, for whatever reason, was uninspired and melodramatic to the point of exhaustion.
It wasnt BAD but it was flawed and a huge step back. Both for the sake of the drama of the show and its characters |
The lack of a villain in the league of purple man was a big factor
|
But the JJ herself felt so sardonic that she sucked the soul out of every scene she was in. Wasnt the case in s1
|
Anyways IF S2 is good so far. Really excited for tomorrows ep.
|
I still haven't watched the last two episodes of Jessica Jones S2, or any of Luke Cage S2.......
I will get to them all eventually....... |
203
I have a strong desire to touch colleens butt |
203
Borther is more compelling in 3 eps than he was all last season |
203
Excellent interpersonal drama |
|
204
The family dynamics are good this season. Really think it clicks very well. Engaging arcs all around. |
The biggest improvement on season 2 is danny doesnt feel like a lost child anymore. It bogged the show down a bit.
|
|
Theres so much in this season for long time Iron Fist fans. Im not sure what this show would be like without the filter of knowing the cannon going in but if you come as a long time fan this is excellent stuff

Finished up a couple of days ago. Season 2 did an excellent job of taking me from "Eh... shit, I guess I have to watch it..." to actively wondering where season 3 is going to go.
I even tried to go back and watch season 1 with insight and context... and even with those, it was still ass. My only problem with S2 is Mary. I don't even dislike the character. My issue with her has more to do with a nitpick with something that has become a trope of all the the shows in the Netflix MCU: SPOILER: show That aside, this has really turned the tempo, the character, and the show as a whole around for me. The choreography and camerawork still isn't on par with the highest of high bars put in place by Daredevil, but it wasn't utter dogshit like season 1. |

It was an issue I had with both Jessica Jonse S2 and Punisher; the truckloads of happenstance from different ends of the same spectrum. For Jessica, there was a lot of stars lining up to shit on her with critical failure after critical failure. It was like, as kT put it, "trauma porn". Punisher, on the other hand, had far too many instances where unlikely strokes of good luck got Frank out of a jam more than any of his badass military training or ruthless instincts. He did all that he did in the first few minutes of the first episode to establish what he was doing with calculated precision, but then he goes on to be sloppy and reckless but okay because apparently he has a horsehoe up his ass. |

Danny and Colleen are easily my fav MCU couple. |
|
Anyone who sleeps on s2 due to their impressions of s1 does themselves a disservice.
|
Show is great.
