Pretty sure the Iron Fist trailer should have started with "My name is Oliver Queen"... #excitedanywayFebruary 8, 2017
But one guy looked even further back in history for inspiration
"Wow, Iron Fist seems like a ripoff of Arrow.""Actually they're both ripoffs of Batman."Bro do you even The Shadow?February 8, 2017
Some were bothered by representation and cultural appropriation issues

With cultural appropriation concerns & a concept derivative of Arrow, Iron Fist has an uphill battle to not be Marvel's weakest Netflix showFebruary 8, 2017
Others think it’ll fall into the standard Netflix formula
Spoiler Alert: Iron Fist will have a cool fight in 2nd episode, be 6 episodes too long, and make a vague reference to Thor.February 7, 2017
But it wouldn’t be Twitter without jokes
As comics readers know, Iron Fist is a superhero who combines with Iron Arms, Iron Legs, Iron Feet, Iron Torso & Iron Head to form Iron Man.February 7, 2017
