Spider-Man: No Way Home (Jon Watts, December 17, 2021) Movie • Page 90

Tobey in the suit is the best part. I felt 15 again

Not a great movie but I had fun.

 

Overall yeah Daredevil is probably #1, but Jessica Jones season 1 might still be my favorite thing to come from the MCU

 

For sure, my favorite project that Ritter has been in and also her best, imo. I don't know who was in charge of casting the Netflix shows but they did a great job for the most part.

 

Also shout out to Bernthal, Colter, and Henwick

Never watched JJ3 or Punisher 2

 

JJ1 was incredible, but I never bothered watching the other seasons after hearing bad things. Same reason I never bothered with either season of IF.

Still need to watch the last seasons of LC and Punisher... I got kinda burnt out by Marvel Netflix shows for a bit. 13 episode seasons are long.

 

Still a firm believer that they should've cast actual Asian people instead of Finn Jones and Tilda Swinton, but Ned translating his grandma's Tagalog in NWH, not to mention the strides made by Shang Chi and Eternals, is the MCU gradually correcting course

 

Steven Yeun would’ve been great as Danny Rand at the time imo

 

I still want Finn Jones to return as Iron Fist and team up with Shang Chi, because I think Shang Chi would take the piss out of him and I want to see that interaction.

 

Dammit now I want that

 

Swap DD3 and DD1 and I can get behind this.

 

finn jones is a horrendous actor

 

Catching up but LOL at this being nominated for best picture. The Oscar’s are a joke but come on.

 

if they’re choosing one from this year (they won’t), it should be shang chi

 

Liu would be much better in every way imaginable if he shared screen with Jones. Liu IS Shang-Chi, Jones is NOT Danny Rand. I’m not sure if it’s the script material or just the look the producer wanted him to go for, but it just doesn’t work.

I wouldn’t hate Jones getting another role but (and I don’t like saying this because recasting disrupts the entire connective tissue) Rand needs another actor.

Haven’t watched JJ2/3 or Punisher 2. Henwick deserved better than IF 1 and 2

 

Can they just have Rand hand down the mantle of Iron Fist off-screen to someone who's actually Asian? Like oh look here's this new guy he's Iron Fist now. idk I didn't even watch the show

 

again, danny rand is the character, not the actor lol

 

I mean, I was implying they don't even have to bring Jones back...

 

Another reason for a recast. Maybe I’ll stop mixing the names up lol

 

I maintain that Jones was better as Rand when they allowed him to be affable and enthused instead of an angsty man-child, and if they allowed him to be that way all the time, he'd be a far better and more enjoyable character.

I understand why people want Iron Fist to be changed to be Asian, but as a fan of the comics, I'm going to admit that I'm happy they chose to adapt the actual character as is with no changes.

I also personally believe having Danny Rand remain a rich white kid opens the door for stories between him, Cage, and Shang-Chi and allow dialogue and commentary that would not be possible otherwise.

But mainly it is just me being selfish and wanting the character I grew up with be brought to life.

As it stands, if they continue from the Netflix show then Henwick is currently Iron Fist, which I think is great. Or if they chose to give it to someone else, that's fine too, but I would want Danny Rand to still be part of the conversation.

 

Just recast Finn Jones if Rand has to be a a white dude in the MCU (he doesn’t). There’s no need to keep him. He’s not good.

 

whether it’s rand or not it should be recast
