Fact Fiend - That Time Marvel Didn’t Train The Best Fighter in the MCU how to Fight

[@davidjarmuth1057]

The dumbest part is they chose not to use the cowl, an integral part of the iron fist costume, and the cowl would have allowed them to have a stunt man with a similar body type do the fighting with the cowl on 🤦

[@greyborg3846]

It should have been a contractual obligation that whoever took the role of Iron Fist had to train and learn martial arts to an extremely advanced degree. The moment Finn Jones didn't want to they should have let him go and recast.

[@davantebarbain3216]

I heard that's not the case but its actually that they gave him so little time to train in the first season because production was so shit

[@dcbandit]

Definitely. Either get someone with an ounce of the work ethic of Keanu Reeves, or someone who is already a martial artist willing to train to be like if not already a master.

[@BambiTrout]

Surely it would have been easier to find a martial artist who could act well, than it was to train Finn Jones to do martial arts. I get that an unknown might not pull the same audience and they might not want to entrust a whole show to an untested actor, but it's not like Finn Jones was an A-lister - he was a secondary character (at best) in Game of Thrones.

What's amusing is that the fights as a result look far more like what a random street fight between two people of any level within martial arts would actually be.

My biggest pet peeve, as a Muay Thai coach, is Finn would've broken his hand trying to punch with that weak wrist and alignment. At least hire an Iron Fist that can make a decent fricking fist.

[@AshenVictor]

I reckon the real cause of this is actually Scott Buck, aka. the man who ruined Dexter. Scott Buck was the showrunner for Iron Fist and Eternals, at the behest of Ike Perlmutter (who has just been yeeted from Marvel entirely). This was because he has a reputation for shooting cheaply and Perlmutter is legendarily cheap (He was also the one who got rid of Terence Howard because he's also super racist and figured the audience wouldn't notice if a black guy changed, and he wanted Hulk to lead the pro-registration side in Civil War because Mark Ruffalo was cheaper than RDJ. That was the final straw for Kevin Feige to go to the top at Disney and demand that Perlmutter be removed from any oversight of the movies or he would quit). That's almost certainly why things like "learn this shit" wasn't a contractual obligation, because they would have had to pay more. He's also super spiteful, the reason the X-Men spent most of the 2010s being shat on in the comics and they kept trying to push the Inhumans so hard is 100% because he was bitter that Marvel didn't have the movie rights to them.

[@joelpartee594]

I think Buck worked on Inhumans, not Eternals - similar names and Kirby origin, very different execution in the MCU.

It really irked me how out of place Iron Fist looked in the series. He barely did any fighting at all. And they made him look like an absolute fail as a martial artist.

[@joshjones9749]

It's like he was the last actor to show up on set which doesn't make a lick of sense from a planning perspective. If his schedule was that packed then clearly going with him was a mistake.

[@baronhelmutzemo8361]

​@@joshjones9749 His schedule wasn't even packed 😂 Charlie Cox who plays Daredevil also had to work within Netflix's tight schedule, he was cast in the same 4 month window from casting to filming yet he managed to deliver on the stunt work, with his stunt double praising him for doing a lot of his own stunts. Finn Jones is just inept and an absolute miscast. I hate the excuse for him that he "had to learn a lot of lines as the lead" well guess what, so did Charlie Cox and he managed to do both phenomenally.

[@calpal6249]

When I was in Uni my stage combat tutor said he was taught by the same person who taught Jones when he was in acting school. According to him, Jones never took stage combat seriously saying he would never need to use it in the future. Yeah really. It doesn't surprise me that he didn't train.

[@Original_Syn]

The Roshi vs Jirin fight actually kinda makes sense. The Tournament rules forbade the participants from killing their opponents. The penalty for doing so was disqualification which is why Jirin had to heavily, heavily hold back because he’d get disqualified and his universe’s team would lose their strongest member at the cost of one of Universe 7’s weakest team members which is probably what Roshi was hoping for in the first place when he decided to rush into a fight that he obviously couldn’t win.

I feel for the actor playing Tank, I think he was entirely correct: The character of Tank was of extreme importance to the plot and narrative of The Matrix and he should have developed and taken a major role in the sequels. The whole purpose of Neo's quest is (supposedly) the liberation of humanity from the slavery of the machines. His character was the living embodiment of said purpose, the avatar of the end goal, a human born free. And yet he was relegated to a one note character and killed unceremoniously.

[@BambiTrout]

@David Watt but he wasn't even a main character. He was a secondary character at best. Plus, it's not like the Marvel TV Shows were relying purely on star power. Charlie Cox's biggest role prior to Daredevil was Stardust, which was almost 8 years old at that point, Krysten Ritter had spent years playing secondary characters in TV shows, with her biggest role as the B**** in Apartment 23, and Mike Colter's biggest role was Sgt. Locke in a Halo miniseries. The people who were going to watch Iron Fist didn't care about the fact that Finn Jones played Loras Tyrell - they wanted to see kung fu, and I don't think it would have mattered who they picked... as long as they could actually fight.

[@crystalbluepartain3434]

because people will watch anything if you have actors from game of thrones

[@cylith5627]

My personal thought on why they hired Finn Jones, was purely cuz this was the time frame where EVERYBODY wanted people from Game of Thrones. Jessica Henwick was also on GoT, but clearly she actually cared and did her due diligence for Iron Fist which lead to her being the only good thing about the show.

[@gandalainsley6467]

The best part is that its very visible that Finn did not train at all. You can learn how to do proper kicks and a punches in couple minutes. It takes around 5 minutes to get flexible enough to pull of kicks properly.(they will be pretty much useless in a real fight but they look cool.). Like that security guards scene just needed two low kicks and one punch and Finn being more aggressive and it would look good but from the look of how it was cut Finn had not even memorized choreography because after every move there was a cut.

The whole "Who would win is whoever the writer likes" is honestly the biggest thing. Even talking about who the best fighters are, Marvel has lots of different people who it states. Captain America is "The best close quarters fighter," Iron Fist is "The best martial artist," and of course Taskmaster has hax that let him clap anyone.

[@paigeseliger836]

I would like to point out that it is a real skill to be able to tell what your opponent will do next in martial arts. You can learn to spot certain muscle movements that usually lead to specific moves, and combat it almost before they began if you're fast enough, which looks from the outside a whole lot like reading the mind of their opponent or seeing the future.

[@bryansnaylor]

Loved the Ryu unique line from UMVC3 lol. Also, one thing I would like to correct is that the main story for the iron fist TV show has a few significant differences from the comic book in that Orson Randall is not a titular villain.

I think Finn Jones earned every bit of shade he's gotten here and elsewhere; not showing up for training disrespects not only the people who agreed to train you, but the stunt performers that have to try to make you look good anyway and the crew that have to bend over backwards to salvage a shot that makes you look like you got chops. In regards to Mike Colter, however, I think you're being a bit unfair. That look he had in season 1 isn't just a product of conditioning, but of pre-shoot dehydration(It's an industry-wide problem, not just in Luke Cage), and I was actually relieved that they stopped doing that for season 2.
