Iron Fist Got A New Showrunner For Season 2… And The Reason Won't Surprise You Because It's Obvious!

We get it. It's the week after comic-con. It's a Friday. Things are slow in the entertainment new business, and we can all forgive taking a few liberties with the concept of "news" to get articles out for the week. Hey. We've all been there.

Iron Fist Got A New Showrunner For Season 2… And The Reason Won't Surprise You Because It's Obvious!

Even still, we have no choice but to stand and applaud CBR for their latest headline: "Why Marvel's Iron Fist Changed Showrunners For Season 2." The answer, of course, is that Season 1 showrunner Scott Buck is now the showrunner of Marvel's Inhumans, and he can't do two jobs at the same time.

Everyone already knew that. It was casually mentioned in most reports of new incoming showrunner Raven Metzner. CBR, like every other website, undoubtedly noted Buck's new showrunner status in the copypasta at the bottom of hundreds of other clickbait articles about Inhumans. No one was asking the question that this article answers.

Nevertheless, they persisted.

CBR, emboldened by the unique sense of desperation that fuels the 24 hour comics news cycle in the days after a major event, pressed on and turned this complete non-story into a news article anyway, like the heroes that they are.

We tip our hats to CBR for soaring to new heights in pursuit of clickbait on a slow news day. Their deeds this day shall serve as an example for all comics journalists in the years to come when we're having trouble coming up with a legitimate news story.

Did you ever know that you're our hero?
And everything we would like to be?
We can clickbait higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath our wings.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
