I said to my friend:

"Iron Fist's timeline is a bit weird and there's a bit of an online debate - there's a scene in the premiere that shows a Chinese celebration. It looks a lot to me like Chinese New Year - I thought they showed the dragon and lion dance, which I thought were unique for CNY. However, it's not 'ideal if the show is set in February. So some people are saying "Well, it could be any Chinatown celebration - doesn't have to be CNY" and placing it at other times in the year. But I'm still personally convinced it is, however I'm obviously not an expert. If I send you the timecode of the scene, can you tell me:

a) if you think it is Chinese New Year

b) the chances that it's some other celebration (if at all)

c) if there's any other celebrations you think it could be?"

He replied:

"Ok so it does look like CNY, the mask he puts on is a monkey one I think and that's one of the 12 zodiac animals. The next most likely festival would be mid autumn but that doesn't really work as there are no lanterns and you wouldn't put on a mask. All in all it looks like CNY albeit a bad one as no one is really wearing red and waving stars and lightsaber things isn't really all that Chinese😂"

By the way guys, 2016 was year of the monkey!
