The Defenders
The mocking of Danny Rand inThe Defendershas nothing to do with the backlash againstIron Fist . If you ’ve had a luck to check out Marvel ’s Netflix crossover serial , you ca n’t have overlook the roasting that Finn Jones ’ fibre receive . Characters fromDaredevil , Jessica Jones , andLuke Cagepretty much took it in turns to jest at The Immortal Weapon .
It ’s remarkable how much time was allotted for mock Iron Fist amidst this long - foresee crossover event . WithElektra descend back from the dead , succeeding plotlinesbeing teased , and the battle with The Hand unfolding as the chief case , you ’d think that ribbing Danny Rand would be the last thing on anyone ’s brain . But his way , his origin , his powers and his attitude all came under attack .
“ We were shooting the finale of The defender when Iron Fist season 1 was premiering , so by the nature of it , we could n’t have react to it . Any fundamental interaction they have to Danny is all based on just the dynamics we wanted to build up . It feel like , if somebody came in and said , “ My fist incandescence with chi and I punched a flying dragon and turn into this , ” there ’s no style around the fact that Jessica Jones is going to say , “ Bullsh – , you sound like a crazy person . ”
So , due to schedule , nothing inThe Defenderswas based on the fans and critics ’ response toIron Fist . It ’s just a well-chosen coincidence that Luke Cage , Jessica Jones , and Matt Murdock all gave Danny as inadequate a shrift as they did , briefly after Danny ’s solo series received similarly negative appraisals in genuine life . As Ramirez lay it,“they’re all so grounded and so gritty , but like if a guy walks into these elbow room with a glowing fist allege , ' My chi is expanding , ' all of them will say ' I do n’t buy it . ' That ’s the natural affair for them to do . "
However , now thatIron FistandThe Defendershave both aired , and neither has received review as glow as a chi - power fist , Marvel and Netflix can start to take the feedback on control panel . It ’ll be interesting to see what they do with Danny next , as his 2nd solo serial is bind to be an of import breaker point in thenext form of this Marvel / Netflix collaboration . Only time will tell what it entails , but some sort of reorganisation seems inevitable .
The Defendersis streaming now . Iron Fistseason 2 does n’t have a release engagement yet , but ithas been announced .
