Iron Fist fans: “Danny Rand needs to be white because he learns about white privilege from Luke Cage. If he isn’t white then that story line, which is so important to the character, won’t be able to happen.” 

*Luke Cage talks to Danny about his white privilege*

Iron Fist Fans: “What the fuck is this SJW shit?

I won't be watching this Orientalist garbage, and I hope you won't either. I want to see Asian-Americans leading Asian stories in Hollywood.

The Immortal Iron Fist #7 (2007)

Having watched the whole series, I still don’t understand why Danny Rand couldn’t have been played by an Asian American. Danny’s struggle with being Danny and Iron Fist, with belonging to two worlds and not belonging to either of them, casting an Asian American would have brought that to the metaphorical level in a really great way. And Danny is an outsider in K’un-Lun because he wasn’t born there, not because of his race, as established in the show. So yeah, #AAIronFist

i think i am very few in saying this but while aa iron fist should be the standard white iron fist could have worked if white men ever stopped to like listen : instead of having him "feel like outsider cause hes rich" have be an outsider for really real. the other characters dont fuck with him cause there tired of white ppl stealing their arts have it be a conflict that keeps him and the main love interest seperate as she has her own reservation for helping him since she runs a dojo and has sure to dealt with weeaboos and fetishers. have the issuses of aa americans front and center with danny having to learn that their lives are more than just kung fu and the training they can provide him. have him start off angry that his color blind mind set is clearly false. hell turn it to a plot point . maybe his powers go screwie when he refuses to belive in white privelege since his powera do come from asian legends.hr has to get over him self to get his powers back for the greater good. dont dress him like a smelly hipster ready to take a black neighborhood over. idk im not aa im black american so i could be wrong and its best to listen to what AAs want but im more just pointing out how they could have not made the character and the show racist af out right. ps. maybe also maybe not pick an actor that sounds like hes never had a poc as a friend abd tells asian girls how much he loves asians.just maybe?

This past weekend, Netflix finally dropped all 13 episodes of Iron Fist. For the most part, the internet was not pleased. While a smattering of Fist Stans tried their damnedest to pretend what they watched was, you know, good, the consensus among critics (and fans too) was this was Marvel’s first big miss. There was one awesome outcome of the Iron Fist debacle, however: a slew of awesome comics…
