Trailer for Netflix's Iron Fist Series
After re-watching this Iron Fist trailer it really makes me question why Lewis Tan (pictured below) was not cast to play Danny Rand? He auditioned for the role but ultimately Finn Jones was cast. Tan will be in the series unfortunately playing Zhou Cheng, a villain.
I know Danny is white in the comics but I wish Marvel had taken a chance and did something different with the casting especially with cultural appropriation at the center of the creation of the character. Even if Tan had been cast it would not have change the story of Iron Fist because Danny still could have grown up a rich kid in New York City but without any connection to his Asian culture. And by doing that he would still feel like an outsider when he found his way to K'un L'un. Being in the ancient mystical city would have given him a chance to learn more about his culture and history of the city while gaining mystical power and training before returning back to NY to avenge the death of his father. See how simple that change is and it would still be true to the Iron Fist story.
All that aside, I do hope the series will be better than what's shown in the trailer because it looks awfully boring. I am going to give it a chance and I'm looking forward to seeing how everything turns out. And I'm so happy Colleen Wing (played by Jessica Henwick) will be in the show, I can't wait to see her scenes.

Art of the Day: Misty Knight and Colleen Wing

This looks like the cover to a comic book but I can't place it and my search came up zero. I've read some Heroes for Hire books but not every book that features these two characters.

Art of the Day: Misty Knight and Colleen Wing
Artwork: cover for Daughters of the Dragon issue #1 (2006) by Jimmy Palmiotti, Khari Evans and Christina Strain
I like this cover because both Misty Knight ( the one in the red) and Colleen Wing look every bit as heroic as the male heroes and without any of the cheesy poses that are usually given to female superheroes.
Misty Knight is currently featured in the new Marvel Now's Fearless Defenders. I'm going to try to pick up the first three issues the next time I go to the comic book store, along with the third issue of MN's Young Avengers I forgot to get.
