Meet the Best Character in “Marvel’s Iron Fist” Before It Premieres

The first six episodes of “Marvel’s Iron Fist” haven’t had great reviews. But one thing everyone agrees on: Colleen Wing is the best character

Marvel’s Iron Fist had its first six episodes released to media for review. And… the reception hasn’t been great.

You know how the rest of the Marvel Netflix series started out stellar and then the last four to six episodes got a little slow, a little uneven?

Apparently that’s how Iron Fist is for the first six episodes. And no one is hopeful that it can recover in the last seven episodes. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage all brought something different to the table, but most people claim Iron Fist is just a little bland.

What reviews can agree on already, however, is that Danny Rand’s ally, Colleen Wing, is the standout character. Netflix released a little featurette video around her, which is probably a good idea. Check it out below:

She looks like a pretty awesome badass, which is a bonus.

Look, we’ve already mentioned Marvel’s diversity issues and we don’t really feel like rehashing them. And that’s not the only issue with the show so far. Apparently the pacing

Maybe Iron Fist will be the opposite of the rest of the Netflix series. What if these first handful of episodes are the low point and it only gets better from here? It would set up a completely different Marvel Netflix series, and maybe that’s a good thing.

And hey, we’ve also discussed when the MCU will falter. This doesn’t seem like much of a stumbling block. Honestly? It might feel like Danny Rand was thrown in just to set up The Defenders series (out this fall). And honestly, he kind of was…? But we can always hope the last seven episodes are better than the first six.
