8) Shou-Lao
First of all, we would be very hurt if Marvel don’t manage to find a place of Shou-Lao in the Iron Fist TV series. The reason? Because he’s a magical talking dragon, and the world can never have enough of those.
Seriously though, Shou-Lao is a hugely important part of Iron Fist’s origins in the comics. It is by defeating the dragon that Danny Rand is deemed worthy enough to wield the mystical powers of the Iron Fist. So, while it might seem a bit of stretch that the up-to-now pretty grounded Netflix series will insert a dragon into their world, the show would be damaged by his absence.
In any case, Daredevil managed to keep its gritty tone in season two, even with more supernatural elements introduced, so would it really be so difficult for Marvel to put an tiny little (actually massive) dragon into Iron Fist?
