Iron Fist: What Happened? (Part 1)

The ethnicity issue is ridiculous. Whitewashing the character? The Danny Rand I remember from the '80's was American. I'm not even sure there was any Asian ancestry in his family tree. He was an outsider, which made his entire time spent at K'un-Lun all the more compelling. A fact missed by all the haters.

 Now onto the show...

The introduction of Danny (and the Meachums) in the first five minutes of the show set the tone - badly. They could have started with Danny and his parents as the plane went down, moved to Danny being found by the monks, and then cut to Danny walking the streets of New York barefoot. They could have started with Ward and Joy waking up in the morning, moved to them going about their daily routines at the office (as well as those of their employees...including the receptionist), and then cut to Danny walking though the door. 

Either one would have been more interesting than what we got.

So...about the Thor: Ragnarok trailer...

In Marvel Studios I Trust

WTF? Friday...4/7/2017

Hey Joe...

...you've seen this. Right?

So I was wondering. What could possibly get these guys together to form a team in the first place? I mean yeah, they're fighting The Hand, but The Hand is a "new" villain to both Luke and Jessica. So why would they get involved? How would they get involved? What do they have in common? What would they be Defending? How are they all connected?

 Here's my brilliant theory:

Claire gets captured by The Hand. Don't know why. Can't even begin to fathom the circumstances. But something happens, and Claire (or something she feels passionate about) needs Defending. She truly is their Coulson.

August 18th can't come soon enough.

Monday Movie Roundup...4/3/2017

Monday already Pepe?

Okay.

Logan made another $6.2 million in the U.S. over this past weekend. That kept it within the 10 top grossing films in the States.

Speaking worldwide, Logan is now at $585.4 million. So how does that rank?

It is the #1 Wolverne-based film of all time. Second place The Wolverine made $414.8 million worldwide.

Logan is also the third grossing film worldwide in the X-Men franchise. Only X-Men: Days of Future Past and Deadpool have made more.

As for the House of Ideas that Stan Built, Logan is 18th overall, beating Iron Man by a measly $200,000. 

As for the "Distinguished Competition", Logan is still behind all three DCEU films. Man of Steel is the closest, at $668 million worldwide. 

We'll see if Logan stays in theaters until May 5th...when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 comes out.

Have a good week Pepe!
