Critics Consensus: Better action scenes and tighter pacing elevate Iron Fist's second season, but it remains a lesser light among MCU shows.

Despite its struggles to be interesting, there's a workmanlike quality to the series' second outing that's admirable, if not entirely successful.

-Kevin Yeoman, Screenrant

After watching the first six episodes, I'll admit, Iron Fist season two left me hungry for more.
-Charles Moss, Polygon

Season 2, with its 10 episodes, is faster paced, and its revenge plot more straightforward, leaving room for character development - even if that character isn't Danny Rand.
-Kevin Melrose, CBR

It's much better paced and way easier to watch. But coming back from what was a truly lack-luster first season... was going to take a complete overhaul of the series and it's hard to say if that was ever going to be possible.
-Merill Barr, Forbes

Iron Fist's sophomore season isn't able to right the many wrongs from its first. Don't waste your time on this one.
-Shaan Joshi, We Got This Covered

Luke Cage S2 just barely kept me hanging onto Netflix-Marvel, so I'll give this one a few episodes.

I'd really rather just have a Colleen/Misty Knight show, though.

The last trailer I saw was such a turn off. I'll still give it a try since I'm paying for Netflix anyway, but I'm not very hopeful.

None of the reviews mention Typhoid Mary having any powers, so I assume S2 will continue the Netflix Marvel shows' weird aversion to depicting any sort of physical superpowers beyond variations on "can punch things really hard."

I might watch the first episode, I dunno, but all signs still point to the series going much too far in the grounded direction for my taste, if not quite as far as S1.

I will watch this to see if any improvements actually occured, but also because it will help distract me while I wait for American Vandal S2 and The Dragon Prince to be released the following week.

I know it only has 10 reviews so far on Rotten Tomatoes but Iron Fist season 2 right now has a 60% with a stunning 3.2/10 average score lol.

Right now this Season has a lower average score than season 1 which had a 4.2/10

Wait is this the first Marvel Netflix show with only 10 episodes? I guess they FINALLY learned from the near-universal pacing complaints of the last three years.

After a shitty first season, it seems that Iron Fist was forced to have 10 eps this season like a punishment.

"we will produce a staggering 135 episodes by the end of the year, well beyond our initial commitment."
https://deadline.com/2017/07/the-de...ductions-tax-credits-largest-ever-1202139332/


By end of 2018, there are 135 episodes.

DD S01 - 13
JJ S01 - 13
LC S01 - 13
DD S02 - 13
IF S01 - 13
Defenders - 8
Punisher S01 - 13
JJ S02 - 13
LC S02 - 13
IF S02 - 10
DD S03 - 13

Total by end of 2018 - 135

These shows will always be 13 eps unless something goes wrong.

Will watch. Hoping it improves in quality just like Luke Cage S2 was an improvement over its first season.

I mean, anything had to be better than season 1. I want to see just how much they're able to bounce back from that, to see if a 3rd season can completely right the ship or to find out it's a lost cause.

The AV Club praises the Colleen/Misty friendship, the improved fight choreography, but conclude that "Iron Fist is still the least interesting part about Iron Fist".

They gave season 2 a 'C'.

There are spoilers about the villains in this season.

Same

the only hook I've had on these shows is the underlying knowledge that they are in fact, Marvel related. While I enjoyed Luke S2, pretty meh on this whole thing in general. Did Cloak and Dagger ever amount to anything interesting? Think I might try that and if does not do it for me im out.

Daredevil Season 3 is this year? Didn't realize every Defender was getting a season this year. Does that mean we can expect another season of Defenders next year?

What are they even basing that number on when most of these sites aren't actually giving a score?

I'm actually not sure, I think the people who reviewed and submitted the score decide. I know when it comes to movies they can give a movie a rotten score even tho in the actual review they give it a C or a 6.

Iron Fist season 2 went up a little and is now 62% with a 4.85/10 average.

Marvel's Netflix stuff has been really hit or miss for me. I liked Jessica Jones, DD, and Punisher but Luke Cage was mostly disappointing, Defenders was just bad, and IF looks like it will keep being the worst.

Problem may also be the actors. I find both Mike Colter and Finn Jones really lacking compared to the others. Supporting cast is what makes up for it...
