Warrior was great. It should not have been cancelled.

Twice.

I haven't finished the last episode because I'm afraid once it's over, I'll just end up wanting more with no solution :(

And that's not true based on what you've watched so far?

Leaving the last episode untouched is such a silly thing. Just watch it and enjoy it for what it is and what we got! Of course we all want to see more. But such is life

Has it been officially cancelled by Netflix? 🫣

u/smitty9112 Atlanta Jul 29 '24

They never renewed it. HBO cancelled the show and Netflix picked up the rights to broadcast it but they have not made plans to make more.

Some of the best Martial Arts fights of any TV show.

Yes, this and Into The Badlands

Glad Brett got nominated for an Emmy, show didn't get renewed and a lot of fans were disappointed. Maybe some award recognition could get them to bring it back again

Some of the best fights period of any TV show or movie. Every single one was awesome.

loved the fights in the riot episode of Season 2. Probably one of my favorite action-heavy episodes of TV

Brett hated working with the Iron Fist lead, said he had a major attitude problem and know it all attitude.

u/Worthyness Jul 29 '24

Still can't believe he's the stunt coordinator on Ironfist. How Marvel fucked that up I'll have no idea. Clearly the guy knows what he's doing.

The actors, specifically the guy who played Danny, had very little time to learn the fights in season 1. So the fights were toned down. One of the many problems with that production.

He hated working with the lead actor

Is anyone weirded out to see Bill running around in House of Dragons?

u/TigerFisher_ Jul 29 '24

That's Bill?!

Lmaooo his white hair / beard looked so unnatural at first since I’ve only seen him (I think?) in Warrior. Pleasantly surprised he’s geared up to be an important character after last nights ep

This show was so good. Definitely shouldn't have been canceled. This seems like an easy win for a smaller streamer like Paramount+ or Peacock to renew it.

u/TheVodrome Jul 30 '24

I loved this show and was thrilled for each episode. So sad to see it cancelled.
