I would have liked him more if the writing wasn’t shit. But, judging by the new daredevil, it seems they learned that lesson about that.

I dunno, man, the first plot arc was about how a guy got into a fight with some cops on a subway platform and somehow it's the one platform in NY with no security cameras?
Still better than iron fist
Edit: and I don’t know what you mean by “the one platform in NY with no security cameras” since those cameras don’t work a lot of the time. Also, the did have cameras, but some of the fight happened out-of-view. If you’ve ever gone to the cops after having gotten pickpocketed on the subway platform, not being able to see shit is pretty much par for the course.
Oh, it's definitely better than Iron Fist, but the simple assertion that "there was nobody else on the platform" would have been debunked by cameras.
The worst part is, they could have fixed it with one line of dialog.
"It's cool, my buddy at transit took care of the cameras."
The cameras didn't see the fight, true. They didn't see the guy the police was beating going in or out the station, nor anything that happened before the fight.
All that was a bit silly, really. I don't even recall an in show comment about why there was nothing at all.
New season is just OK for now. I had expected much worse, so I guess I can't complain. Let's see how it goes.
I think if you're going to bring back Iron Fist I'm ok with bringing back Finn Jones as Danny Rand. If you want to bring in a new Iron Fist completely, go for it, although maybe that would work best for a film set in a different time period.
I think with Daredevil back and Punisher back, we should bring the whole gang back, plus some new faces. Let's get a real streets of New York Marvel team together and keep them together.
Probably would have helped if he would have stopped introducing himself:
"Danny Rand, the immortal iron fist, protector of Kun Lun and sworn enemy of the hand."
"That's not gonna fit on the Starbucks cup..."
Get rid of the melodramatic attitude and don't make the greatest martial artist in the world lose to a single goon.
"Mom, can we get One Punch Man?"
"We have One Punch Man at home."
One Punch Man at home:
And relative to other recent offerings, will it just seem better?
