Marvel's Iron Fist shows promise but lacks heart

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Having just binge-watched the first half of Netflix's Iron Fist, which is their fourth Marvel series (behind the outstanding Daredevil, gritty Jessica Jones and soulful Luke Cage), and the final cog in the upcoming Defenders series, I find myself with mixed feelings for the show. Iron Fist's first season is available on Netflix.

Yes, this is another comic book story about a lost billionaire heir, who finds himself in a strange and foreign land. During his years in the wilderness, he learns the ways of mysticism and martial arts. He returns home, to the real world, where he needs to win back what's rightfully his, fit into a new society as well as battle an unknown evil.

If that spiel seems formulaic, it is because we've lived it a dozen times before.

‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ gets new trailer, shows new badass character

If there’s one message the new Transformers: The Last Knight wants to impart, it’s that it’s okay to fight like a girl. Its new female character is a young, headstrong girl named Izabella (played by Nickelodeon star Isabela Moner) who tries to survive after Robocalypse happens. She happens to meet Cade Yeager (played by Mark Wahlberg) who will later be seen scolding a robot dinosaur as if it was a mischievous little puppy. There seems to be a good mix of action, explosion, and hints of comedy here that should excite Michael Bay fans. Transformers: The Last Knight is set to come out on June 23rd.

Netflix might soon give you the option to skip opening credits

If you’re prone to binge-watching shows on Netflix and want to save a bit of time, there might be a solution for you soon. It’s been spotted that Netflix is trying out a “skip intro” button which works for the title sequence, even for those that start after a cold open. It’s been first spotted 23 days ago on Reddit and so far only works on the web. It’s been spotted on Netflix originals House of Cards and Iron Fist as well as third-party shows Mad Men and The Office. It doesn’t seem to be available for us yet but it would take time for Netflix to role this out to all users and platforms. But it means your wait for this might not be too long anymore.
