I’ve been trying to get into iron fist comics for years but could never find anything that fought my eye, and was wondering if there’s is any specific run or even a single story (that is collected and printed) this sub would recommend. Thanks I bet you get this question all the time

Im just wondering what comics to start off with

I was very disappointed to learn that Iron Fist was not getting a third season (I just watched it last month and got into Iron Fist at the same time). What are some ideas that you guys would have liked to see for future seasons? It seems like the third season was going to be Danny and Colleen learning more about their powers. I would have loved a season rediscovering K’un L’un where they find out the city wasn’t destroyed, the door just closed. I also would have loved for the show to get into all Seven (and eventually Eight) heavenly cities. Honestly, they could even introduce Lin Lei in the final season and we can make the final season all about him, truly showing that the Iron Fist isn’t a man it is a title passed down.

It was an IronFist art where his entire body was glowing with chi and his head looks like Ghost Rider

its like hes become a full weapon

Has anyone heard any kind of news about any upcoming iron fist plans..been dark since the anniversary book

I'm trying to find it but it seems like there was a period where they were getting to know each other and then they were a couple but I haven't seen the point where they actually get together

This show was corny enough from the get go and it just seems to be a parody of marvel tv shows. Laughed out loud when Joy revealed what Danny sent to her back cos in my mind “oh maybe he did choose all the brown mnms” but nope LMAO

I know im late to the party cos i never bothered with this show cos of the reviews but i want to see why it was so hated. I now know why lol

Prime example of not hiring the right people to be in charge of a show.

Hello everybody, I am new to this server but I have been a huge fan of Iron Fist forever, the oldest comic I have is an original Iron Fist. Now, I haven’t spent a whole lot of time on this server so if this gets posted a lot, my apologies, but I wanna share my thoughts on the Iron Fist show. When it was announced, I was beyond hyped because Iron Fist is one of my favorite marvel characters of all time, and I was so disappointed with the show initially. However, recently I was finally able to get into the Defenders shows and I watched Iron Fist again. The criticism is valid but if you look at it the way I do, you may find a new appreciation for it. The problem is that it’s definitely not Marvel Comics the Immortal Iron Fist, it’s Netflix presents Marvels Iron Fist. And when you look at it that way, I think it’s a really cool Kung fu show, and a good “realistic Netflix” version of the warrior of Kun Lun and it fits the defenders section of the MCU. But I’d love to hear your opinions, on the show or the character on general, because that’s what Reddit is for, a nice discussion about weird nerd shit

I overall liked it (b/b- tier) but I did have some problems with such as most of the fight choreography, not liking the harold chatacter and joy potentially becoming an antagonist at the end? I thought finns acting was great. I don't know much about danny iron fist from the comics so idk how accurate this version is but I heard s2 was an improvement so I'm actually interested when I get to it. So far I put it over shows like AOS and Luke Cage (only seen 1 season of each). Also over Ms Marvel, She Hulk, Echo and Secret Invasion (particularly trash).

There was a post on r/Marvel wherein someone (rightly) stated they wanted Danny Rant to be given a better showing by Marvel, and discussion was everywhere but primarily the complicated issue of Danny Rand being removed due to being the 'white savior.' I wanted to post my thoughts up on this, however long and tired they are, and see how others felt within the Iron Fist fandom.

Post as follows-

This is such a complicated issue. And what sucks is that there are good, hard arguments, and bad faith arguments, from both sides and from many angles.

Comics have been dominated by straight white male characters. Easy fact.

Comics need more diverse- or more accurately, more non straight white male characters to better represent the world that reads them. Also an easy fact.

There are stories that are offensive to other cultures, or appropriate them, so on. A fact, even if some people wish to deny this.

On the surface, Danny Rand is just that; anyone who has actually *read* and *understands the character and lore* knows this is not true.

Danny Rand is not a white savior. Danny Rand is a man who, as a boy, by pure chance, was rescued by the mystical city after his parents were betrayed and murdered by a business partner, effectively leaving Danny for further dead and collateral.

Obsessed with avenging his parents, Danny sought the power of the Iron Fist, protector of that mystical city, to go home and avenge his parents. Through this desire for vengeance (a /classic/ kung-fu movie storyline), and not through better skill but just determination than his friend and chief rival, the future Steel Serpent, Danny obtained the Iron Fist, and then abandoned his thus due post as protector of the city, to instead go for revenge...

Only to discover that it was pointless. Guilt, age and health had already destroyed Danny's monster. And in result of him leaving his post, Danny failed the city that took him in. This realization drove BILLIONARE AND SUPER-POWERED DANNY RAND to become not an Avenger, or any other big lofty hero, but a hero of the people, as a Hero For Hire. He donated money to the community, worked to change his ways, worked to aid K'un-L'un, made a life with former Harlem cop turned hero Misty Knight, became best friends with Luke Cage, has 'it's complicated' relationships (depending on the story) with K'un-L'un leader and his mentor's daughter, Sparrow, and Colleen Wing.

Danny was a hero to /the people./ Street level. He wasn't a white savior, *he was the exact cautionary tale against it.* He was an example and beacon, in his stories, against institutional racism and trying to fix issues with the American Way.

(I fully expect some people to now downvote this post in their denial of institutional racism.)

Now, here is the flip side; 'martial arts heroes should be Asian,' some people call out. Bull****. It is progressive to have black elves, Middle Eastern knights, Indian brawlers, so on. The mixing of cultures- repeat, /mixing/ and not appropriation of, is the literal 'melting pot' point of America. The idea of white people not being allowed to be martial artist heroes or whatever mysticism, is reverse racism. *Which is still racism.*

Asian women can be the hard nosed killer vigilantes in 80's style send-ups. Black men can be samurai (there even were, historically). So on.

But it is a *very* understandable reason why *neglected demographics and people* call foul; because they have been fouled. And while it is not my place, obviously, to tell anyone how to feel, I will make the argument that I think the issue is misdirected; the issue is NOT in abandoning Danny Rand and giving the title to Lin Lei as a 'make good.' The issue is the historic under-representation of people *who deserve more and capable heroes* deserving the spotlight. Make, promote, and most importantly, *keep at the heroes.*

Bluntly, Marvel has some hit characters in the last forty years; Deadpool, Spider-Gwen, Miles Morales, Mr. Marvel, but all of them were created, and then kept being used/consistent, allowing them to develop fandoms and popularity. *Keep doing that* without negating the other characters around them or before (Peter Parker, Carol Danvers are still around!).

And if you don't want Danny Rand to be the Iron Fist, due to some connotation that an unfamiliar public may attribute?

'Iron Fist' is not what people care about. People don't follow Captain America, or Nova, or Wolverine, they follow Danny Rand, Steve Rogers, Richard Ryder and James 'Logan' Howlett. You want Lin Lei, Sam Wilson, Richard Ryder, Laura under those titles? A) Lot of mixed feelings about that, but for sake of it, B) understand people know the brand, but they follow the character.

If Danny Rand is not to be the Iron Fist, then make him a different hero. If Carol is Captain Marvel (yes, yes, I know), then let Danny die and then come back from Heaven as Heaven Fist, or Holy Fist. Let him 'upgrade' and keep at it. Don't punish the character when you can rehabilitate and use them and reward their audience/fans and keep them engaged.

Lot of conversations around, about how Marvel straight up is losing sales (inconsistent stories, mantle sharing, QRC codes, etc), and irking off loyal fans, even if less than other heroes, becomes death of a thousand cuts.

I don't expect everyone, or maybe even anyone to read this. I am sure, as often, someone will call me racist for not liking my heroes being abandoned, jobbed out, retconned, etc, when that is not what I have ever said or meant to portray.

Maybe I am old. But I just think there is more value to everyone involved to treat Danny Rand, and the Iron Fist title, with respect.
