Netflix Cancels "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage"

I finally finished watching the second season of "Iron Fist" on Netflix. It's not that it was a bad series. It was actually very good. In fact, it was a great improvement on the first season. It's just that Husband Mark actually likes this show also. So I can't just binge-watch the series on my own. We have to coordinate work schedules in order to see the whole thing.


Season Two ended in a really weird spot. Colleen Wing had claimed the power of the Iron Fist was was now defending the streets of New York City with a glowing sword. Meanwhile, Danny Rand was finding himself (along with his spiritual brother Ward) all over Asia. And he now apparently has the power of the Iron Fist also -- though he's using it to power-up pistols!

The season ended on a cliffhanger. And it was a glorious cliffhanger.

Unfortunately, it's a cliffhanger to nowhere. Netflix cancelled "Iron Fist." Maybe this will get picked up elsewhere. Sadly, I doubt that we'll ever see that pick up.

Not only did Netflix cancele "Iron Fist," but it just canceled the much better -- and arguably best Marvel series that they've created -- series. That's right. "Luke Cage" has been canceled.


We will never get to see what becomes of Luke Cage, now that he's transitioned from being the hero of Harlem to Harlem's iron-fisted protector. Which is a real shame.

"Daredevil" Season Three just dropped on Netflix. (Jon's Note: We likely won't see any of this new season until mid-November. Just putting that out there!) A new season of "Jessica Jones" will be coming soon. No clue about "The Punisher." I'm just curious if these two cancellations are the start of something sad with Marvel's streaming series.
