Ngl i never got into iron fist. Barry just didnt catch my eye... BUT LIN AS THE NEW IRON FIST IS SO DOPE! Im glad Marvel Rivals showed me there was a new IF, i woulda missed this

[@uso_Jus2SmooTh94]

Yup. I just learned this by playing Marvel Rivals. Like "That don't look like Danny Rand??" 😅 But Lin looks pretty badass. I like the design. He really fits what the iron fist should be 👊🏻

[@joshuagcwong734]

This dude literally has iron embedded in his fists. I dig it.

[@Near2L]

I love the personalities and skills of danny and Orson, but Lin's IF design is pretty awesome

[@KenMasters.]

Fun Fact: Danny Rand in his 1970s Marvel Comic debuts originally looked similar to a blonde and clean-shaven Chuck Norris when unmasked.

[@shotttindem]

I really like this mantle takeover! Sometimes a passing of the torch can be pretty corny but I feel like sword master as the new iron fist is here to stay, like miles Morales as spider man or sam Wilson as captain america. I love this thank you marvel

[@manutdfan231]

You're videos are about blow up because of Marvel RIvals man! Here's to future success!

[@MarvelousPhilly]

I don't care much for teenagers becoming the "new this" and "new that" superhero. Mainly due to their inexperience as that hero. They usually have to grow on me, and prove that they're good enough.

[@danelwind2574]

The worst part of the teenage successors is having to go through their "I need no help" phase. That is one of the aspects I disliked, Lin Lie, acting like a brat, why not ask the help of a former Iron Fist?

[@NotAGrabbaghoul]

Great start and very strong sense of stakes, the new Fist relatable yet intriguing, with internal and external conflicts that mesh well

[@dmon5229]

Did we read the same issue

[@brandonspencer5594]

@@dmon5229 it’s called perspectives

[@dannyboi8027]

Hopefully we get an *Okoye* guest appearance in a future issue and see how she's dealing with the responsibility after the events of *Heart Of The Dragon* or if she even cares at all at what responsibilities she has undertaken. Short of it is I think this series is going to squash that whole series and return her chi powers back to *Rand* where *Lin Lie* and *Rand* can have an *Orson & Danny* passing the torch moment.

[@wrathsin13]

Swordmaster is definitely an underused character hope he gets the sword back. Maybe he will turn to out to be the unbreakable sword and reforge it with the iron fist

I love this🤩. This made lin lie more baddass, imagine if he still have his fuxi blade....thats gonna be one hell of a street level hero

And he have 😅

[@millerishimaru5398]

Really really hope that Wave and the other Agents of Atlas can make a cameo in the future issues.

[@darriendastar3941]

I'm at that stage of "I dunno". To be honest, I'm not sure what the writers are trying to do here.

[@lucri988]

It's something the comic publishers been doing the last years. Switching out established characters for new ones. Usually another gender and/or ethnicity. Usually don't stick either. Only character I can think of where it became permanent is Fury, head of Shield.

[@shawnking4646]

Instead of creating something new they want to destroy icons

Danny:”I don’t need powers I got these hands”

[@n.k.warner2577]

If Danny Rand no longer has powers. Why didn't they allow him to join Daredevil and Elektra's new organization"The Fist" as all members of that organization gain all around enhanced physical abilities.

[@jackieanderson9408]

Good afternoon comic breakdown 😃

[@uso_Jus2SmooTh94]

I was ok with Danny Rand before. I wasn't the biggest fan of his character. But Lin Lie Iron Fist is pretty cool. I'm all on board 👊🏻 #Badass

[@natesgeeklounge]

Is it just my tv or does the audio sound different.

[@scottrohrer7389]

WOW!!!!!!! INTENSE!!!!! LOVE IT!!! NEVER REALLY BEEN INTO THE IRON FIST, BUT NOW ITS PRETTY FUCKING DOPE

[@Thatguyshipwreckedsailor]

Im here to refresh now that Lien, lein (i dont know how to spell his name off the top of my head) is in marvel rivals. Given how Marvel Treats how successful stuff works i have a feeling this new version will be the version for a long time. So i feel that Marvel Needs to Do something new with Danny Rand. Mabye have him go join up with the guardians and explore how Shao lou and the 10 cities got to earth or something i dont know. Something new that respects Danny but gives this new iron fist room to grow and explore his new role.

[@gzowine2860]

Let's dive my brother.👍

[@garethcope1080]

What's robbin doing in a marvel comic lol

[@garytucker3563]

Digging this!

[@lmsytranscript]

Which comic did Danny give up his power?

[@kingshadow8782]

Cool

[@ironfist2505]

Had they not completely butchered Danny’s character in order to get to this new Iron Fist, I might even like Lin. But considering what they’ve done to Danny, I can’t even take Lin seriously…

[@ZephyrBW]

I miss Danny

[@yshivamkumar2135]

Just wanna know when the next dark nights of steel is coming??😅😅

[@cruelwinter2655]

Ay break down y did you stop covering Thor after the Donald Blake saga give the people what they want now let’s dive into that break down

[@comicbreakdown]

I don’t think I’ve ever covered a Thor run lol

[@Subject_Keter]

Just make it better theb Starship Hulk and have Whitefox cameo every once a while and we are good. I swear that current arc would make explosions fizz out.

[@n.k.warner2577]

Does Danny Rand have one or two iron fist(s)?

[@NoverMaC]

it's pronounced Lin Lyeh btw. and Fuxi is pronounced approximately 'fu-hsee' the i in chiyou is like a schwa. and you is pronounced like yow also he's been with the Agents of Atlas so not really just with white fox. he trained under Shang-Chi and Ji Shuangshuang (the carrier of another divine weapon) before so

[@comicbreakdown]

I googled how to pronounce each of those words and that’s how it said they were pronounced. Except for chiyou I said that wrong

[@comicbreakdown]

And yes agents of Atlantis but most recently it was white fox where this story comes from and how it got to this point

[@NoverMaC]

@@comicbreakdown Chinese Pinyin follows different rules so it might help to look at the Mandarin Phonology Wikipedia page. :) Great video tho, glad to see someone else excited about this series. I've been wanting more of him ever since his and Aero's series were cancelled. :( It seemed people don't know what to do with him side from that one joke about Chiyou which gets old quick.

[@comicbreakdown]

Agreed! Lol

[@eliteghost1001]

So the sword master is the new iron fist

[@comicbreakdown]

Yes, for now at least

[@GodofPho]

Isn’t he a student of Shang-Chi to?

[@sunrphan5152]

I liked the og story of ironfist but I never really liked how he was white, I felt like an Asian fit more into the role. I wish Lin had the same path just that it was passed down

[@padideh369]

i want danny back as iron fist!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭

[@lucariomew365]

Wait, when did Danny give up his powers? Aside from Devil's Reign, I pretty much stopped reading anything non X-Men, Dr Strange, Spider-Man, Thor, Marvel cosmic, or Fantastic 4 related. Also, I'm legit surprised they choose Lin. I actually did pick up the comics related to him, only becuase I liked White Fox's design and a Dr Strange tie-in/cameo😂.

I'm going to be honest. I always hated Danny Rand so I never got into Iron Fist. Now I can honestly say I am interested.

[@dionisiosanchez4200]

I Like danny rand, but He had to pass the mantle of Iron fist YEARS Ago, he is just not Interesting, Even the Other Iron fists in his comics are much more interesting.

[@spacewideenterprise6581]

I loved Danny rand such a great story fr

[@EmperorDxD]

I liked Danny more

[@uso_Jus2SmooTh94]

On another note, i wished Shang Chi was chosen to be the Iron Fist. He would of been epic.

I stopped reading Danny Rand’s Iron Fist comics after 2018, but this new Iron Fist series is brilliant to start reading Iron Fist comics again. Besides this new take gives better concept for new generation readers to having an Asian character take the mantle as Iron Fist.

[@shawnking4646]

This is ridiculous. You can talk about mantles being passed and it’s no big deal blah blah blah. Bullshit. It’s a big deal. You want a new comic book character that fits some social agenda then CREATE one. Stop changing characters that I have been reading about since the 1970s

[@comicbreakdown]

Ok

[@dmon5229]

Sorry but Larry Hama did Danny wrong , Danny is and should be the Iron Fist this is a total woke move to check Boxes 50 years of DannyRand down the drain Goodbye Marvel

[@comicbreakdown]

Legacy characters I wouldn’t call woke. I’d say it’s a way to pass the torch and let way for new and different stories. Lin Lee totally deserves this chance to have the mantle even if it’s for a short while

[@NotAGrabbaghoul]

You act as if they burned all the Danny Rand Iron Fist comics in a pit? They’re still there for you and future readers, maybe just maybe Marvel found it advantageous to pivot the Iron Fist brand away from its “White Savior” narrative roots & take a less culturally daft approach :/

[@ButtercupBeast]

@@comicbreakdown You mean like when Okoye took the power of the Iron Fist and stole the spotlight for the mini series that led to this? This move and how it was executed still doesn't make it any less woke no matter how you fluff it. The entire Iron Fist lore was already designed to be diverse with a cast of characters that already had and have the potential to be the next Iron Fist with Kun Lun being portrayed as have local and foreign-born population from the beginning. I don't understand the logic of the SJW crowd trying to fix something that was never broken. The problem with Iron Fist was that the storyline was constantly overshadowed by the cosmic-problem heroes like the Avengers, FF4 & X-Men. There are a lot more ways to pass the torch in a respectful way than what Heart of the Dragon did and all it did was leave a black mark that Lin Lee's run is gonna be near forgotten about in 20 years time as a woke trend.
