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

girls dont want iron fist girls want a claire temple spin-offFebruary 7, 2017

iron fist? did you not mean claire temple season 5.February 7, 2017

Me: I don't care for Iron FistIron Fist: Claire Temple is hereMe: So when does Iron Fist air?(Also where's Misty)February 8, 2017

gimme a series with claire temple eating cereal for 8 episodes, it'd be better than iron fistFebruary 7, 2017

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

Can't wait for Iron Fist to come out!!!!#IronFist #netflix #MarvelFebruary 8, 2017

DAYUM IRON FIST OFFICIAL TRAILER AND THE BACKSOUND WAS LIT AF🔥🔥February 8, 2017

Replaying the iron fist trailer got me like : pic.twitter.com/p8Cpo5fsKXFebruary 8, 2017

Many noticed similarities to Arrow and Batman Begins

#IronFist wants to be Batman Begins and Arrow soooooo bad 😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/Lrq7TqCkxqFebruary 7, 2017

We couldn’t help ourselves… #ironfist #arrow #arthurmeme pic.twitter.com/xxAQU5pNNWFebruary 7, 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

Black and Asian-American Twitter watching this new Iron Fist trailer like... pic.twitter.com/4TkFY8GludFebruary 7, 2017

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

why does this look like he's practicing the ancient art of gentrification pic.twitter.com/Lvgl4pJOKIFebruary 2, 2017

@MarvelIronFist how y'all add Rosario Dawson to every show pic.twitter.com/EB9wLO5WZ7February 7, 2017

the iron fist trailer immediately stressed me out because walking around new york city barefoot is a major health concernFebruary 7, 2017

The first season of Iron Fist hits Netflix on March 17, 2017 at 12:01am PT.
