[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7499127, member: 22779"] Disclaimer - I really, really did not like season one of Iron Fist. I thought it was brutally bad. Not even fun bad, but, just bad bad. So, when season 2 popped up on my Netflix, I didn't exactly rush out to binge watch it. But, it was a slow day, and I thought I'd give it a shot. Wow, am I glad I did. Story was great, characters were interesting and I really enjoyed it. Gone was the boardroom drama and everything focused on the five characters. Great stuff. I wonder if their budget didn't get slashed pretty heavily from the last season considering most of the action happens in, what, three or four locations? Whatever the reason, this was a great story and really worth the watch. Although, I have one cultural nitpick, just because it bugs me. In one of the really early episodes, Danny and Colleen are having dinner and fight over the last potsticker with their chopsticks. If Colleen Wing was raised in Japan, the way the story says she is, there is ZERO chance she would do that. It's culturally the equivalent of blowing your nose on the tablecloth. You just do not do that.* Yeah, it's a minor nitpick and it doesn't really matter, but, it's little details like that that make me realize that the writers have very little actual cultural experience when they write Asian characters. *[sblock]The reason this is not done is the only time in Japanese culture that you would pass anything from chopstick to chopstick is during a funeral, after the body is cremated, you pass the bones along the family before placing them in an urn. It really, really isn't done to play with your food like that with chopsticks.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
