    I don't understand why, if he is Such a changed person and knowing that he is in the position he is, he didn't just go back and delete all those ridiculous tweets.

    Would have taken 10 minutes and he would avoided this stupid situation.

    Not all of it. I did something similair though, I had a significant change of socio-political stance and found some of my old opinions fairly repugnant.

    Instead of leaving those things to fester I deleted my FB/Twitter and set up new ones so the opinions I no longer supported wouldn't be associated with me.

    Do you think he even remembered them until someone brought them up? I only ask cause I know I sure as fuck don't recall ANY specific messages I posted 10 years ago. Do you recall every post you ever made last decade?

    His statement said he was a self proclaimed provocateur, implying he knew he had said some dodgy stuff, he says he has changed and I don't have any reason not to believe him but considering the environment he works in, to leave statements like that under your name is idiotic.

    I don't remember a lot of specific statements I made, I do however remember holding opinions I now find repulsive and would absolutely not want to be associated with me in either a personal or private setting. That is why I deleted my old social media accounts and made new ones.

    He kinda did both, tbh. He explained that back in day he was a bit of a wannabe edgelord, and wanted to try and shock people. It work, better than he ever could have wanted. Probably a little TOO well.

    Looks decent. I REALLY hope they fix the fight choreography though... I don't care if the story sucks, I don't care if the acting stays weak, but they NEED to up their fight game. Iron Fist SHOULD be the most impressive fighter in the MCU, but so far, Daredevil makes him look like a bitch.

    So does Cap, Black Panther, Bucky, Batroc...hell, in a purely hand to hand fight, based on what we've seen of Iron Fist vs the fighting Doc Strange was doing in his movie, I'd lean more towards Doc winning the fight.

    Again, that doesn't mean he remembered any of that until he was reminded of it. I honestly cannot tell you what I was doing and thinking 10 years ago. I can recall some specific albums and movies that came out back then that I liked(and still like, in many cases) but beyond that...well, I'd have to get back to you.

    The only real gripe I had about season 1 of Iron fist was that it dragged for too many episodes, if it only last about 8 episodes I might have enjoyed it more. The story was fine, I just thought they stretched it out unnecessarly.

    Still looking forward to season 2 though.

    Haha, sad but probably true. And actually, quite nicely highlights my problems with both IF1 and Doctor Strange.

    Honestly, I can't believe Disney didn't scour all their minions social media before signing.

    Doesn't help the trailer being him needing to punch the ground with super energy in order to fight 3 random thugs. He should have just swept in and 3 thugs were unconscious.

    This is how I picture Iron Fist's training:

    If they hadn't before, you can fucking BET they have now. There must have been a brutal Twitter purge after this went down.

    Lol, love it. Saw this video earlier and now imagining it's IF make it even better. Seriously though, the fights in season 1 were apparently super rushed, so fingers crossed they took some time to make this season better.

    The Netflix shows budget/ timeframe seems to be taking a hit, and while I've enjoyed them all (even IF), the flaws in each of them just don't make me want to rush off to see them. IF1 was rushed and it was obvious from their reuse of that one snowy scene or the Dragon that was a lawn ornament from Home Depot, they didn't have money for it. But I can't see IF2 being less rushed or more money to it, the schedule for all the shows is pretty continuous.

    From what I heard, IF was even more rushed than usual. They were saying that most action scenes in a MarvelFlix show have like a month to get right. IF was rocking a week or less of practice to get them right.

    I honestly just don't get Iron Fist as a concept. He's like...a super-ninja? But his super-power is to make parts of his body (or just his fist? I'm not clear on this) super-hard or magical or something?

    Like...it sounds like the basis for a bad porno.

    It's an old Kung Fu trope and iron fist is your classic white savior Kung Fu tale along with all that entails

    He controls his Chi, which is a pretty standard "martial arts" trope. When he channels the Chi energy into his fist it allows him to strike with much more force than a normal human. He can also use it to make himself stronger and faster, make himself more durable, heal wounds quickly, and purge poisons from his system. There's probably some more but it's been awhile since I've read any Iron Fist.

    That's always been the kinda vibe I've gotten from it...White guy goes and studies "eastern mysticism" of some sort, and becomes super-awesome better at it than anyone else ever before. Like I get that these comics are written by and aimed at primarily white audiences...but in this day and age it seems a little trite.

    Okay, so he's got kung-fu magic.

    And here I thought it was something weird yet interesting like...one hand had been turned entirely to metal or something.
