This is MY opinion, an unpopular opinion if you must, but I actually really LOVE Danny Rands character, and his story. This is someone who had to witness both his parents die on an airplane when he was ten, and was then trained by monks to become a warrior. Where he might’ve spent a lot of nights at first wondering why he survived the plane crash but not his parents, the monks ultimately eventually trained him to not deal with these emotions, and to push them all down and out of mind. So where some might find him annoying and childish at times, I find that it’s actually realistic the way he deals with some stressful situations. He hasn’t lived in the real world since he was ten and since then he’s trained to be a weapon and to have no emotions, so when he comes back he doesn’t know how to deal with these stressful situations in a calm and mature manner. All he’s learned since he was ten is that The Hand is bad and the Iron Fist was made to destroy them all, so he handles these situations by just rambling on and on about how he must destroy these people, and goes right in without a real plan because he was taught that with his power he can destroy these people, but they didn’t fully tell him how. I also really like Danny and his story because once he’s back he’s slowly feeling all these emotions he was told to push away, so the first time he’s on a plane again and experiences the same things he did befor witnessing his parents death he has a panic attack, and when he finds out his parents were murdered all this hurt that’s been building up in him over a very long period of time is turning into this boiling anger that he doesn’t know how to control, then on top of all this Harold, someone who he thought of as a father figure, betrays him and turns him into the DEA after all he’s done for that man, then, for the cherry on top of that ice cream, he finds out that Harold is the one who killed his parents. And the way he freaks out after all this is honestly a really realistic approach to Danny’s character. I absolutely love how he kept freaking out after all this. He kept lashing out, and he obviously didn’t know how to handle it, this boiling anger in him just turned into much vengance, and because he didn’t know how to handle his pain Danny obviously had Harold to blame for it all and thought that if he killed Harold his pain would all go away which would make him a better Iron Fist. In the end it’s nice to see that Danny realized that Killing was not the answer.
Then I just have to say it is so sad that Danny went back to Kun Lun only to find that the hand had showed up and the Monks who raised him, and who he was destined to protect were gone. I mean this was basically his family the majority of his life, so losing them has got to hurt.
