Iron Fist (2017–2018)
5/10
Danny is always the dumbest person in every episode
12 November 2020
I watched every episode. After a while, I kept count to see if Danny Rand always made the dumbest choices and decisions in every episode. He did. He was by far the dumbest character in every single episode.

His competition for stupidity award was triad goons, hatchet thugs, street criminals, drug dealers, and all of his family and friends. It seemed like in every episode, there would be some core decision that was up to Danny, and he always made by far the dumbest choice that was possible.

Another annoying point was that Danny would trust every person, even the ones that were obviously against him. It got old that every single person he trusted always betrayed Danny, and he always acted shocked.

After a while, this and the never-ending bad decisions made it look like Danny was just a really stupid, dumb-as-a-rock person. Finn Jones, the actor that played Danny, could not pull off "honest surprise" at the terrible results of his stupid decisions. He just looked like he was incapable of any basic growth or maturity as a person.

Every episode is about 95% teenage soap opera, drama, whining, sadness, and maybe 5 minutes of action. This is like modern Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where it is all about relationships. Danny Rand should have been created as a girl for this TV series. He spends more time being a sensitive girl than his girlfriend does.

Eventually Danny is totally emasculated and he becomes Ward's substitute sister. It is pretty sad and pathetic. Danny's girlfriend becomes the man of the relationship, and she takes over the sacred power of Iron Fist. The Power of the Iron Fist, which was so sacred, gets passed around to three characters thanks to Danny Rand being a moron.
