Marvel produced something critics didn't like?

Moment of truth, people. This is where hypocrisy and cynicism are revealed.

Does Time Warner pay Rotten tomatoes? Is it an unreliable source? Critics are biased against Marvel because of reasons? Is it actually a fair criticism?

Didn't Marvel already produce a thing that people didn't like in Iron Man 2?

(Different level and scale of dislike, but still. Shame to hear about the Iron Fist reviews though)

Actually, Rotten Tomatoes didn't rate it yet, that's why it's at 0% and says 'No consensus yet' on the page for it. The guy who made the video is just an ignorant moron.

Iron Fist was tainted by the fact SJWs wanted an Asian to play Iron Fist because it'd be 'politically' correct.

Oh, I'm aware of that. I just found funny the fearful symmetry between the DC and Marvel fandoms when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes. Whenever something gets bad ratings, one side will say it's fair and the other will rant over how it's wrong. This is pretty much another BvS case, with the sides flipped.

Probably. But you gotta be amazed on the most die-hard Marvel fans going "end of the world" flame-y on pretty much every forum. I honestly think it may be a good series, as the Marvel Netflix universe has been pretty solid so far. It's just painfully ironic how, when faced with negative criticism, some people go so defensive.

But isn't the guy white in the comics? In fact, I remember an article where Roy Thomas stated he didn't want to make the "kung-fu guy" Asian in order to avoid the stereotype. Also, the story is more about how west and east cultures interact and how much can someone from a side learn from the other.

4449771 Yeah the comics it's ALWAYS. ALWAYS been debated whether he should be American or just plain Asian American. This is no different.

"A white guy teaching an Asian girl how to punch? That's racist."

"Assuming a girl knows martial arts just because she's Asian? That's racist."

Pretty much the entire debate right there.

And right now it's at 14% with 14 reviews.

If there's a self-hating and self-destructive fandom, that's the comic books one.
