In unsurprising news, Iron Fist star Finn Jones recalled “turbulence” while portraying the title character.
“Turbulent” is an apt descriptor of the show behind the scenes and on the screens. Considered one of the worst MCU projects of all time, Iron Fist, which is based on the eponymous Marvel Comics martial artist, premiered on Netflix in 2017 to negative reviews. Brad Newsome of the Sydney Morning Herald called it “a relatively drab patch in that endless Marvel tapestry,” while NPR’s Eric Deggans bemoaned what he saw as tired racial stereotypes, presumably around the “Orientalist” aspect of the martial arts theme: “As a fan of superheroes who knows how racial issues affect media, I’ve realized I can’t enjoy these new stories until they fully step away from old stereotypes.” However, viewership was reportedly good—at least enough to warrant another season.
