[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7067547, member: 22779"] One thing that surprised me was that Netflix gave this an Adult rating. (at least here in Japan, maybe it's different in different countries?) I watched the first couple of episodes and realized that I could watch this with my daughters, unlike DD or JJ, which are a bit too ... mature and graphic. Outside of a couple of scenes, this wasn't much more than PG no? I guess, for me, IF suffers mostly by comparison. DD and JJ had very deep stories and really delved deep into some very dark themes. DD is often about the justification for vigilantism. Plus, DD gets his ass handed to him numerous times. You really get the feeling that he's a real person. JJ was all about rape and victimization. Just fantastic writing on a very difficult topic. Luke Cage dealt with community and all sorts of pretty topical issues. I honestly really have no idea what Iron Fist was about. Umm, first world problems of a rich, white manboy? I had thought they were going to go a bit deeper into the ideas of family violence and abuse, but, they only really kind of danced around it. Even the substance abuse plot line was just kind of tacked on. Ward has a substance abuse problem, goes to a hospital for a couple of days, and his problem is fixed. :/ I just found the whole thing a bit too facile after the depth of the other Netflix Marvel outings.
