Iron Fist Appreciation

[Moose100]

Thatll explain where the hell she came from since we dont know at this point....

It was better than NA 25 but I was expecting Hope or Danny to show up and neither have yet. >>;

Still curious as to what the connection is between Fongji and Hope tho.
I'm guessing maybe Hope is like her reincarnation or something.
....or maybe Hope IS Fongji! Dun dun DUN!!

[Moose100]

Agreed

It was a great backstory, but spoilers:

Fongji seemed to have only trained for less than a month before her epic battle with Shou Lao, which happened off-panel!! I was under the assumption Iron Fists train for years

end of spoilers That aside, some good mythos, but i didn't feel the Leonardo stuff was really necessary.

She already had Phoenix temper-tantrums going on. Time was short. They may have bent the rules on her training.

Either that or she's already had some hand-to-hand combat lessons. What's the school system like in K'un-Lun? Kung fu might be as compulsory there as spelling is here

Great Iron Fist and the Immortal Weapons piece I came across. Don't know who it's by, but would be great to see this colored:



Here's the finished Iron Fist piece drawn by J. Scott Campbell:



Iron Fist was featured on Disney XD's Marvel Master Class and it was J. Scott Campbell who showed us how to draw him. It's based off his look in Ultimate Spider-Man obviously but it was an awesome segment. Loved when Campbell mentioned the "Kirby Krackle".

That is a great piece. It will be a wallpaper. I really like the Dog Brother #1. It has a lot of detail and looks really cool.

Well it has not really been defined. K'un L'un has numerous instructors. I mean the entire city trains in martial arts. The best students end up training with the immortal Lei Kung, The Thunderer. All we have seen is the training with Lei Kung. I always thought that Lei Kung should have rival instructors in K'un L'un. But then the Immortal Iron Fist series was written and it seems that the other Immortal Cities instructors could be seen as his rivals. It just shows that there are so many potential story lines that could be written from the story that was written in the Immortal Iron Fist. Could there be other immortal instructors in K'un L'un besides Lei Kung or has there ever been any? There are so many questions that have never been answered involving K'un L'un and its citizens.

Oh god, when did that Deadpool scene happen?

It was a Deadpool team-up issue that was actually really good. Great storytelling and it felt like more of an Iron Fist book than a Deadpool book.

Well, maybe because I know so little about Marvel's Leonardo, and maybe it would've helped if we knew how much time elapsed between building the telescope and training Fongji, and then how long it took to train her to get ready to face Shao-Lou, but the whole thing seemed real rushed, and yet, nothing happened, right? I mean, this is an earlier visit of the Phoenix. As some you you smarties theorized, we'll probably find the mystery to how Danny MAY help Hope host the PF. Maybe. But I still don't get why the whole thing was rushed.

Also: So the last page of NA 25, when Yu Ti is confering with Lei Kung, a scene that was supposed to take place in the present? I assume we'll just get back to that scene ... with Spider-Man in the next issue?

And... why the $*&^ is she wearing a uniform with the white %&*$ing top??? She should come out of the cave with the sign of Shao-Lou burned into her flesh! Gah!!

But, hats off to Deodato for some amazingly stunning pages. Really just great to look at. One quibble on his art: Fongji's face kept changing. But that aside, the pages were great and helped carry the story.

Maybe I'm being overly critical.

^ Also, sorry for being a crankosaurus. Because it occurs to me that while I'm quibbling over a Bendis-written issue of New Avengers, I am getting something I keep yearning for, which is a return to K'un-Lun. So, while I have high expectations, I realize how awesome it is the we Iron Fist fans are getting such goodness. Peace.

Anyone know if the Iron Fist movie is still dead? Also is it with Marvel?

Princess Kitana is an Immortal Weapon? She could hire Danny's help against Shao Kahn next time he shows his mug

Here's the finished Iron Fist piece drawn by J. Scott Campbell:

Pretty cool, looks like Jim Lee's Batman with smaller arms

Word is it's still on. Based on Immortal Iron Fist.

I heard they were getting Ray Park as Danny Rand, which is mind-blowingly perfect casting right there.

[ronedog22]

holy balls darth maul himself! Also snake eyes in G.I. Joe. I just hope they keep it simple and not over budget. Harken back to the good ole days of kung fu movies.
If successful could u see a defenders movie happening with him?

It's possible, but Heroes for Hire is more likely.
