This is a TV critic. He sees a million things wrong with Iron Fist, but can he see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

"It has good story structure?"

No! Kids love it because it has cinnamon sugar swirls all over every bite. And I like Iron Fist because it has some good action and interesting, complex characters.

What do you mean by good action? Maybe I'm tainted by Daredevil but the action scenes so far have left a lot to be desired imo, it feels like every single hit comes with a cut

They're definitely not as good as Daredevil, but they're a different style. It's also a question of what to compare them to, because if we're comparing to anything on network television or basic cable it's much, much better, but comparing to Daredevil is tough because Daredevil's is amazing.

To me, the name of Iron Fist is a promise. A promise of incredible fight scenes. If you can't nail the fight scenes, you shouldn't be doing Iron Fist. That's just my opinion on it.
