8 Reasons Why Iron Fist Isn’t As Bad As The Critics Say

The long-awaited first season of Iron Fist has now landed on Netflix and, unlike Danny Rand's hand, its critical response has not been glowing. In contrast to just about every other property in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Fist has received some pretty scathing reviews, which have pulled apart its writing, acting and directing.

3) Colleen Wing Is Awesome

Recommended Videos

If there’s one thing that most people can agree about Iron Fist, it’s that Colleen Wing is the star of the show. The Marvel Netflix series have always been stronger than the MCU movies in the area of tough female characters, and Iron Fist continues this trend with aplomb.

As we’ve said before, Colleen provides some of the best action in the whole show. It has to be said that Jessica Henwick feels the part of a master martial artist a lot more so than Finn Jones (though we will get to him in a moment). She repeatedly impresses us with her karate skills, as she takes down men twice her size in cage fights and wins the respect of the students at her dojo.

On the other hand, her romance with Danny has been criticized in some quarters for feeling shoe-horned in. Your opinion on that will depend on your personal proclivity for superhero love stories, but we would say that Danny and Colleen’s relationship doesn’t feel any more forced than, say, Luke and Claire’s in Luke Cage.
