What Happened at the Iron Fist Panel at NYCC 2016
We Got This Covered

The Marvel/Netflix TV originals took New York Comic Con 2016 by storm, as they announced new details about upcoming shows, shared some exciting videos, and updated audiences about some new casting choices. It seems like every week at least one person is raving about these television shows, and this praise is definitely warranted. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage have all wowed both critics and the general public with their stunning visuals, discussion on difficult topics, intriguing characters, and heart-thumping action. So, it was no wonder that everyone was anticipating the Marvel/Netflix panels at NYCC 2016. And, of course, they definitely delivered. Here are all of the things announced at NYCC 2016 and some extremely exciting developments that were shared during the panels.

The Iron Fist Trailer

Every new Marvel/Netflix original trailer brings so much excitement and thrill, and this one is no exception. With such little amount of actual screen-time, this trailer is able to rile up fans and get them to beg for new episodes – even though Luke Cage just came out. Like Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter), the character of Iron Fist (Finn Jones) – aka Danny Rand – has not really been in mainstream media, so the character seems much more enticing than if it were to be someone more well-known. The character and his powers seem really interesting, which also makes the show really intriguing. There are, of course, a lot of questions that come with this small trailer, which makes the wait all the more agonizing.

Deborah Ann Woll joins The Punisher

It’s a curious choice that the writers made when they decided to cast Deborah Ann Woll, who plays Karen Page in Daredevil, as what is a seemingly significant role in The Punisher. Without spoiling season two of Daredevil, it does make sense that this would happen, but it’s unexpected that she would play such a big role. It also appears to mean that this will be a sort of continuation of Daredevil rather than displaying the Punisher’s (Jon Bernthal) backstory, which is following the trend of these series, which is to continue the building of the universe rather than go backward in time. It will be an interesting to see when they put it into action, but it also might turn out to be a great choice, since she did have a sort of impact on the Punisher’s thought process during the second season of Daredevil.

Sigourney Weaver will play the villain in Marvel’s The Defenders

Announcing that Sigourney Weaver was going to be a villain of the upcoming Defenders series was just icing on the cake. Weaver is such a great actor with a fantastic resume, and seeing her join what is already an amazing cast is something so great to see. Because she mostly plays a hero-type roll, it will be refreshing to see her as a villain. Since there have already been some spectacular villains written on each of these shows, it will be extremely exciting to see her in action as a comic book villain.

Season 1 of Iron Fist is set to premiere March 17, 2016, Season 1 of The Defenders is set for 2017, Season 1 of The Punisher is set for 2017, Season 2 of Jessica Jones is set for 2018 (at the earliest), and Season 3 of Daredevil is set for 2018 (at the earliest. (Luke Cage has not been officially renewed, but, if it is, it is likely to come in 2019.)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
