Manic Monday Bonus--If They Had Done This Story, Netflix Would Have Never Canceled Their Shows!!

All I'm saying is, if Power Man And Iron Fist #81 (1982) has been used as the basis for a crossover story, the Luke Cage and Iron Fist shows would never have been cancelled by Netflix.

Because as fine as the two seasons of Luke Cage were, they never had this:

Some guy tried to kill Luke with a forklift!!

Not only is it a brilliant scene in and of itself, but it ties in with Mystery Science Theater 3000, which is now a Netflix show--total corporate synergy!!


Next, a scene an Iron Fist series should have had:



"Lousy speech. Good moves, though." Yeah one of the Iron Fist seasons really could have used a bit where Danny takes down a white boy wannabe who thinks he the shit because he watched Bruce Lee movies and listens to Wu-Tang Clan.

Finally, the scene that would have definitely saved both series. Danny and Luke are in the the nation of Halwan, when they stumble upon the king's harem:








Yup, Luke and Danny dressed as women, dancing for the king, would have meant that Netflix could never, ever consider canceling the shows!!

Friday Night Fights--Zee Leaper Style!!

It's the Prize Fight Round in Friday Night Fights, which means that it's time to crown a champion!

MOC Spacebooger has laid down this rule for all: "every fight should feature a foot upside someone’s face!"

Well, let's get that out of the way: 
 
What, you need a plot? Ward Meechum has hired Batroc to kill Iron Fist. Who needs anything more?!?

Now back to the festivities:










He's the guy who just kicked your butt, Batroc.

Spacebooger wishes there had been one fight even remotely this cool in the Netflix series...

Manic Monday Triple Overtime--Goodbye, City Life?!?

Look, I know all about the needs of corporate advertising tie-ins, marketing television shows, yada yada.

And I especially know and accept that these cross-media affairs are by no means canonical, and certainly are not required to 100% accurately reflect the "true" nature of the characters being borrowed.

Still, this ad has been on the back covers of Marvel titles this month:

Well, I don't doubt that Luke Cage would enjoy a tiny bit of the dude ranch life.

And really, the ad is worth it just to see Daredevil in dungarees.

I'm not sure why Iron Fist is running around in what my non-comic friend likes to call his "gay pirate" costume. But the cowboy boots are a nice touch, and hey, billionaires can wear what they want, right?

But really, in a million years you could never convince me that...

...ANY icarnaton of Jessica Jones would EVER look so overjoyed to be hanging out at a ranch, let alone let herself get dolled up like that.

Just sayin'...

Manic Boxing Day--Son of Whom, Now?

Well, lookie who's dressed up as Santa!

And he's not just Daimon Hellstrom or Hellstorm of whatever...

Man, it's been awhile since they've used that "Son Of Satan"moniker, hasn't it?

Daimon started out as Son Of Satan, of course, but at some point Marvel decided that that was a little too taboo or them, and started a series of retcons/revelations that Daimon (and his sister, Satanna) were really the offspring of some other, more minor lord of Hell. (Satannish? Really? "He's not actually Stan, he's just a little bit Satannish!")

So ever since, you'd be hard pressed to find a reference to him as Son Of Satan. But, at least for the purposes of the Power Man And Iron Fist: Sweet Christmas Annual #1 (2017), Satan is back, baby!!

And remember--this means that Disney owns Satan. Where's our animated feature, guys?

Friday Night Fights--SSHKOW Style!!

This week we're doing Friday Night Fights Marvel Team-Up style!!

And we'll learn that sometimes Spider-Man just gets in the way...

Danny Rand is about to engage in final conflict with Steel Serpent for the possession of the Iron Fist power...







Hey, I thought this was Marvel Team-Up, not just some excuse the Iron Fist creative team used to tie up plotlines from the cancelled Iron Fist book!! Where's Spidey?!?


Oh, there he is!!

But...



...his kicks don't work very well!!

Well, let's wrap this up!



SHKOW!

Spacebooger would like to reassure you that in the next issue, Danny got his powers back, and Steel Serpent kinda died. Until he got better.

Friday Night Fights--Doofus With Slippers Style!!

Holiday weeks cramp my style, so there's no time for lengthy prologue--let's just hit the ground running with today's Friday Night Fights!

Nitro (after he killed Captain Marvel, before he blew up Stamford) has been hired to blow up Wall Street!! The Heroes For Hire have been...well, hired, to stop him.

Hercules is already down, so it's up to Iron Fist to be the man...(click to embiggen for full dialogue glory...)



The result?

Well, Nitro hurt his widdle hand, but Danny is unconscious. So I guess we have to declare Nitro the winner!

Spacebooger reassures us that the Black Knight took down Nitro, so the good guys did win...Black Knight? Really?
