I really hope that Rand is bankrupt by the time of Defenders and Sigourney Weaver's character is buying it out.

So what?They live in a world with lots of people who can do that. Daredevil, Luke Cage, Captain America, Black Panther, the Hulk, Thor, etc. What makes the Iron Fist an especially big threat to the Hand? Heck, if they're running this vast criminal empire with plans for world domination, shouldn't they be more afraid

The Chinese army did not have access to a lot of "modern weapons" in 1948.

Also, the 1948 Iron Fist didn't fight off an actual concerted effort to kill him. It was a bunch of unprepared soldiers trying to make a propaganda video. Considering the state China was in at that point, they were still fighting a civil war,

Except the 1948 Iron Fist didn't encounter a modern military. He fought off a bunch of soldiers making a propaganda video. And I'm pretty sure they didn't even try to shoot him.

They haven't shown why the Hand thinks the Iron Fist is such a big threat to them. Yeah, he can punch really hard, so what? The Hand can bring people back from the dead so it doesn't even matter how many of their goons Danny punches to death. I don't see why the Hand can't just send a bunch of guys with guns to shoot

Except he didn't kill the other three assassins. He didn't kill any of the other Hand people he's fought. Why did he have a dilemma with killing Scythe?

Interesting how Ptonomy barely appeared in this episode. He was trapped in the memory of his mother's death last episode and wasn't in the mental hospital at all. I wonder if this means anything. Did something happen to his mind?

Professor X has a lot of enemies. He could have given David up to protect him from someone else, like Magneto, Juggernaut, the Hellfire Club, Cassandra Nova, Apocalypse, etc.

The yellow ranger is gay? Why not the blue ranger? Wasn't the actor who played the original blue ranger gay? And he got harassed so much he wanted to commit suicide? So why not make the blue ranger gay as a tribute/apology to that actor?

Cable will complain about how Deadpool is the second worst pain in the neck he's ever had.

But he wasn't going to fulfill a life long destiny by killing Scythe. Killing Scythe would have achieved nothing. It wouldn't have made the Hand leave Rand. It wouldn't have really hurt the Hand since they have other assassins and they can bring people back to life. It certainly wouldn't have destroyed the Hand. All

I also liked how over the top and cheesy this episode was. But man, those fights were rough. Even though it was dark, you can still see a lot of the problems. Finn Jones did the best he could considering how he only had 2 months to learn martial arts but they really should have cast someone who already knew martial

The contradiction is why they need to explain how and why that happened, which they do not do.

Except as I pointed out several times, his behavior completely contradicts what you are saying. How can you say that he ever held those beliefs if he constantly does the exact opposite of those beliefs?

Except it's not portrayed as the same. If adherence to the Buddhist philosophy is equated to skill in his martial arts, then he should have never been able to defeat Shou Lao in the first place since he clearly never believed or adhered to those teachings.

The writers of Iron Fist should have watched Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Look at Danny's behavior. As I said this earlier. Buddhism teaches people to let go of their attachments, to stop clinging to the past. Danny clearly has not taken that lesson to heart. He clings to the past. He represses his emotions. He does the opposite of what Buddhism teaches.

That's not the question I'm asking. I'm asking if they taught him the philosophical lessons of Buddhism. Not lessons about how to use his punch magic. Those are not the same thing. He spent 15 years in the monastery. He should have been taught things like the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path, philosophies about

I've seen the whole show and they really don't.

Yes, there are plenty of people who wouldn't understand. In fact, I would say that most people around the world may not understand. But someone who lives in the United States and writes shows for US audiences should understand given the way black people have been portrayed in the past. Even today, that's a slur often
