Noahthegreater reviews Marvel's Iron Fist (Very Mild Spoilers)

Not enough Fisting?? Uh oh. . .

At first I loved this series, but as they went on Danny became unbearable in his dialogue and immaturity. He resorted to childlike anger over near everything, and when even the slightest bit of logic was presented he just drew his lower lip further out and shook.
To be honest I believe it was the acting of Finn Jones. I think another actor would have been able to handle it much, much better. He acted like the 10 year old child that was lost in the plane crash. And yes I get that your excuse for that would be because of his traumatic experience, but if he were training in the greatest martial arts area in the world, he would be able to control these most basic of emotions in New York. I just felt like outside of the very few moments he actually displayed the Iron Fist powers were a waste.
I can't even mention how many times he mentioned he was the Iron Fist and what his purpose was. He became this religious converter that just got annoying with every instance that he mentioned it. I honestly felt nothing for him, outside of thinking he was a douche who thought he was this important savior yet couldn't do anything impressive until the final ep, and even then he only destroyed a single floor of a building.
Colleen on the other hand I loved. Everything about her was top notch. I thought her cage scenes were impressive, even though people think it wasn't, and I thought her story was very compelling even though Bakuto was an immense douche. Making me question if all martial arts people are self righteous dbags.
Davos seemed extremely forced to introduce him as a future villain and unnecessary, and the turn of Joy at the end was out of nowhere considering how she was present for her father's ridiculousness.
I hope Finn changes his acting for the character, because he came off like a self righteous douche. I do think it is the worst of the Netflix series but nothing worse than a 6.5/10. There were fun moments, however, the end was very forward of them to assume audiences would love it so much that they'd leave it on a cliffhanger that I honestly don't care to see.
I really wish Danny was someone who I could care about, but his constant reminiscing and self-involved sense of existence was unbearable. I don't need to hear about some guy who is blinded by ignorance for 13 episodes. He abandoned his post, yet he wears his position as a badge of honor. That's like a baker turning away from his oven and telling the customer to go [frick] themselves when the cookies are burnt.
