If you weren’t following the Netflix Marvel shows when they were first being released, here’s my best attempt at summarizing how the audience/fandom reacted to them:
Daredevil S1: “OMG, best Marvel show ever! I love this darker side of the MCU!”
Jessica Jones S1: “OMG, best Marvel show ever! I love this darker side of the MCU! Marvel does female representation right!”
Daredevil S2: “Punisher was amazing! Elektra and the Hand…eh.”
Luke Cage S1: (first half) “OMG, best Marvel show ever! I love this darker side of the MCU! Marvel does black representation right!” / (second half) “This show is corny and terrible. They did Mahershala Ali dirty.”
Iron Fist S1: “Wtf is this shit?”
The Defenders: “That was certainly a crossover. They did cross over. And things happened.”
The Punisher S1: “This is fine, but it’s tone deaf for Marvel to make this show when we need gun control now.”
Jessica Jones S2: “The story is all over the place. What’s even the focus here? What the heck is happening?”
Luke Cage S2: “I guess this is better than S1 but I still hate that Mahershala Ali got killed off so soon.”
Iron Fist S2: “Better than S1, but that’s not saying much. Also, I welcome our new Iron Fist, Colleen Wing.”
Daredevil S3: “They redeemed the Netflix Marvel shows! Hallelujah!”
The Punisher S2: “This feels rushed. Like there’s two seasons worth of story here.”
Jessica Jones S3: “Wait, this exists? I literally saw no ads for this.”

In which all of the comics fans who spent this whole episode going “Heal her, dummy! Heal her!” are finally rewarded! What a great reveal this is. I mentioned in an earlier post that this season did not dig very deep into the Iron Fist power-set, but it did give us two key components: the punching and the healing, and since the healing is much less famous than the punching, it was hugely exciting to see it spotlighted in this climactic moment.
In the comics, pre-Immortal Iron Fist Danny was, relatively speaking, an untrained Iron Fist-- which is to say that he didn’t know about a lot of the things that the chi of Shou-Lao could do. This wasn’t really his fault, as his predecessor, Orson Randall (who we will get to next episode!) took with him the source of that knowledge, the Book of the Iron Fist, when he ran away from K’un-Lun. Both 616 and MCU Danny are forced to learn a lot of the business of being the Iron Fist through lived experience, trial-and-error, and sometimes just by accident.
The circumstances in which Danny discovers his healing powers in the comics are different than in the MCU, but equally desperate: he gets caught in a collapsing building and finds himself trapped in the rubble, dying from his injuries. On the edge of unconsciousness and hallucinating, he receives some vital information from the image of his uncle, Nu-An, the Yu-Ti of K’un-Lun:
Nu-An: “Save yourself, young dragon!” Danny: “H-how?!” Nu-An: “The power lies within you, as it always has, nephew. The legacy of Shao-Lao can heal as well as kill... The Iron Fist is not a weapon--it is a force of will...and used properly, it can accomplish...miracles.” Iron Fist vol. 1 #4 by Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Janice Cohen, Frank Chiaramonte, and John Costanza
Danny’s first healing experience is extremely painful and exhausting, but it works. He survives. Over time, he grows more comfortable with using the dragon chi in this way, and after his power-up in Immortal Iron Fist he is able to do so casually, whenever he needs to, for both himself and others.
Lei Kung: “Daniel?” Danny: “Hunh...I healed without even thinking of it. And I don’t feel drained at all.” Immortal Iron Fist #8 by Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, David Aja, and Matt Hollingsworth
Danny: “Your doctors did most of the hard work weeks ago... All I’m doing...is focusing your chi a bit...” Dakota: “...Whoa...” Danny: “...To speed up your natural healing process.” Daredevil vol. 2 #111 by Ed Brubaker, Clay Mann, Matt Hollingsworth, Stefano Gaudiano, and Chris Eliopoulos
MCU Danny is at much the same state of training as pre-Immortal Iron Fist 616 Danny, and I love that his effort at healing Colleen is clearly painful for both of them, reflecting that early power level and lack of experience. And the fact that Danny just passes the heck out afterward and is unconscious for the rest of the episode means a lot to me.
(There is a great issue of Heroes for Hire volume 1 in which a desperate, pre-Immortal power-level Danny heals Luke from life-threatening injuries and nearly kills himself in the process. Obviously, this is not on the same level as that, but it has a similar flavor.)
While this is all very exciting for geeky reasons, it is also a major plot point. After being teased as Colleen’s mysterious sensei earlier in the season, here Bakuto swoops in to save the day...much to the annoyance of Madame Gao, who is pissed that he’s muscling in on her Iron Fist manipulation efforts. And not only does Bakuto help, he knows about the Iron Fist-- including details that even Danny doesn’t know. That is hugely significant, a mystery that leads us directly into the next episode...

headcanon ask :: danny rand
music collector. it’s already been established (vaguely?) in interviews that he has a small record collection. another way for him to catch up on all of the culture/media he missed out on. he prefers collecting records, though he probably has a few CDs and cassettes kicking around. after all, he grew up in a time when CDs were the main source of music.
when it comes to records, he probably prefers buying used/second hand records. there’s something special about owning a record that once was played by someone else. the way there will be the odd scratch on the vinyl or natural damage/bends in the corners of the cases are just proof that they have been loved (to him, at least). there’s also a connection piece to it— music brings people together, everyone knows that. but it’s the fact that he is spinning the same record someone once loved so dearly that really drives it home for danny.
anytime he’s out and passes by a record store or some sort of garage sale, danny will pop his head in just to check out what they have. nine times out of ten, he always walks away with something new for his collection. sometimes it’s a recommendation from an employee, other times it’s just an album that had a cool cover. either way, he’s listening to it the moment he’s free.
danny doesn’t just by second hand records, though. as much as he loves them, he definitely splurges every now and then on record store day releases.

You wanna know my Roman Empire? It’s the amount of wasted potential that Netflix’s Iron Fist had, and that people blame Finn Jones when he’s a wonderful actor who was done dirty by that racist POS Jeff Loeb

People that complained about Danny being white never read a comic
I don't know much about the comics. Would want to read more, but were I live it's a very expensive hobby. I have only a few, mostly Thor comics i bought second hand.
However, a Google search shows me this:
I don't see a difference with him

DEFENDERS' SAGA series 5: IRON FIST Series 1 i was so unrealistically excited for this series, as IF had been one of my faves in my childhood in the 80s. but he disappeared. i found his run in the Defenders' series, but he was different, & it had a different line-up. he & they felt like spare-parts slung together to make another line, but their chemistry & the writing didn't work for me. SO Netfux's announcement greatly intrigued & interested & exited me. whoops. more fool me. after DareDevil & jessica Jones & Luke Cage, i was confident this was going to work, and I adored Finn Jones & Jessica Henwick. infortunately, finn was wholey misscast & incapable & unconvincing, while Jessica's Colleen Wing just stole the show out from under everyone she was SOO capable & convincing. changes were made after S1, & for me it improves, but thankfully Danny's appearance as IF in Defenders works tremendously as he wonderfully tousle's with & bounces off Coulter's Luke Cage.

I’ve mentioned again and again the rising tension in this show, the ever-growing stakes, the stress, the episode openings that drag you in by stomping on the gas and escalating the plot.
...And then there is the beginning of episode 10, one of my favorite episodes...which is calm. Peaceful. Serene. Maybe even too serene, showing that a sudden, unexpected drop in tension can sometimes be just as compelling as a shocking plot twist.
But at the same time, it builds up something that persists throughout the first section of this episode: a sense of peace and happiness, which feels like a respite, at last, from all of the horrors that have been piling up around our heroes. Here, we and they are given some breathing room, a moment of happiness-- which is then shattered, all the more shockingly, later in the episode.

i dunno what people are talking about, but i found myself enjoying all of the netflix marvel shows. ofc, it's undeniable that daredevil and jessica jones are the best ones, but it's not like luke cage, iron fist or the punisher were super horrible. i'm currently watching them chronologically and i'm having a great time, even if they can get a little slow at times
