Yesterday, Marvel and Netflix released the first full trailer for Iron Fist, and since this is the internet, people have strong opinions about it. We jumped on Twitter to gather some wide-ranging reactions to this introduction of the Defenders’ final team member.
There was a lot of love for Claire Temple

And a lot of excitement about the show overall
I'm more excited for Iron Fist than any other new season of TV this year. Only things that come close to it are Punisher and Fargo S3February 8, 2017

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
