I liked Daredevil season 2. I found the first season painfully boring. He doesn't wear a mask because it would make no sense within the story. The story is more important than the stunts. Daredevil season 1 had one great fight scene. That's not enough to carry a 13 hour season. I found the rest of the fights boring. Maybe the Nabu fight was a bit better. But still, nothing that impressed me.

The story is more important than the stunts? They are equally important. You cannot sell the story of the Iron Fist without story, part of that story is showing him as the Iron Fist, showcasing his abilities, making you believe he had the skills to kill a dragon. He has the skills to possibly take down the Hand; be the protector of Kun lun. The fighting in this show should have been better than any other of the Netflix shows.

I'm utterly bewildered that you think that that scene in dare devil is better choreographed than the fight scenes in Iron Fist. I have no idea what you are seeing. I give up.

Either way it's been a nice debate :)

What I liked most about Iron Fist is the stuff we didn't see.

All of the references to the Iron Fist mythology were vivid and poetic.

• Who are these Immortal Weapons?
• Where exactly are the Capital Cities of Heaven?
• Is the Hand really a cult of undead, mystical ninjas?
• Did the Iron Fist actually plunge his hands into the molten heart an "undying" dragon? Or is that a metaphor for winning the battle over your own fear and uncertainty? There is beauty in the ambiguity.

If you're a fan of the comics, you know some of the answers to these questions but, as an unindoctrinated, casual viewer, this stuff must seem somewhat intriguing (if you go for that sort of thing).

The world of the Iron Fist is rich in metaphor and allegory. It is violent and mysterious. It adds to and enhances the more grounded world that the previous Defenders inhabit.

There's a goldmine waiting to be claimed by the talented and mindful crew who can successfully juxtappose the ancient world of the Iron Fist with NYC's corporate intrigues, murderous violence and urban decay.

I love superhero mythologies that require the hero to earn their position/gifts through combat and trial. A freak accident that gives you power and turns you to good makes you and adventurer. Facing primal emotions like doubt, fear and rage make you a true hero.

"A child touched by fire" - those five words spark the imagination.

So you liked it JD?

The more I think about it, I may have even loved it. I freely admit it has flaws but, the world of Iron Fist is too compelling not to get another season.
