A lot has been said about the casting of Iron Fist. Ultimately, I think Marvel decided to cast a white dude to play Danny Rand, so that they could make Rand dumb. This is often the way he comes across in the comics. But the choice appears to have frustrated most reviewers, and while I get that, I still see what Marvel was thinking. Which is to say that if you’re Marvel, and what you really care about is the inevitable Power Man & Iron Fist Nteflix team-up show, you kind of need Danny to be dumb, and I can’t see how that works with an Asian dude playing the role.
