It's hard to really define what was awful about it because just bout everything in it was shit, but lets start with Danny, the Iron Cuck. His actor is impossible to take seriously as a martial artist, because any scene in which he's doing Tai-chi or whatever, he shakes and quivers like he has parkinsons disease. Secondly, his character himself is just an absolute *blithering* retard. Not once does he show an iota of self-awareness and realize that, just maybe, he sounds batshit fucking crazy to people when he talks about being the Iron Fist. And when you can make your god damn fist glow at will, you shouldn't have a problem convincing people that you aren't entire nuts. This wouldn't have been an issue if he were a zen dude who's ok with people not believing him, but no, this mother fucker gets anally ravaged anytime someone doubts him that he got rescued in the Himalayans by some warrior monks in a secret city that only appears every 10 year during a mystical alignment of the realms. Even if you try and justify that he's still mentally 10 years old, even a 10 year old child realizes how idiotic that sounds. Even when Danny isn't talking about how he's the Immortal Iron Fist he still fails to be a convincing character. His weird mannerisms and shit he picked up from living with Monks never come off as a man who grew up in a different culture, he comes off as a fucking liberal arts major who, "Like, totally just *connects* with these monks I read about in my Religious Studies class." He makes no visible effort to understand where the fuck he is now, and I'm supposed to root for him being an absolute jackass. He gets put in charge of a multi-million dollar company, and the BAD GUY in the show reasonably asks him to spend one fucking week to just learn how a business runs. The BAD GUY even admits that Danny will make policy changes he is not going to like, but will accept them, he just wants to make sure Danny can competently run the company. He decides to completely ignore this advice, and immediately makes a series of decisions that would bankrupt almost any fucking company and does such a shit job he gets kicked out by his board of directors in a whopping two to three days. The fucking coke-addled psychopath was more reasonable than the fucking main character. And when Danny gets kicked off the board of directors, he gives absolutel no shit about it and it never comes up the rest of the show.
Then there's the fight scenes. The fight scenes are fucking ass, and I can't blame those on a single thing either. The choreographing seemed to be shit, but I can't tell, because they purposely hide the actual fighting behind a bunch of weird camera movements and shit because, surprise surpsrise, Spasms Mcgee is incapable of controlling his body in and decent manner. So then they bring in a stunt double. And man, not only is it painfully obvious that they're constantly using a stunt double, the stunt double himself doesn't seem to be that good. But it might not be his fault, becausethey decided that they would only block out 30 minutes or so of practice for each fight scene. That's right, the people in charge of a movie about a kung-fu master fighting ninjas decided that the fight scenes were one of the least important parts of the show.
The plot is probably the least awful bit of the show, and even that is all over the place. The big bad evi guy switches from Ward, to Ward's Dad, to Madame Gao, back to Ward's Dad despite never closing or tying together a single plot line these people are involved in. Danny spends most of the time piddling around doing nothing other than getting told in conversation by bad guys that the other bad guy is a bad guy, and while I really want to complain more about the plot I literally can't even remember what happens to much because it was so god damn forgettable. I remember that, yes, Danny gets into a fight in a hallway. Yes, Danny does go to China at a point, and yes, I *think* Ward's Dad ended up being the final boss, but I really can't remember why any of these things happened or in what order. Every other show, even Jessica Jones, had some really fucking strong moments that reminded you what the narrative was. In Iron Fist, the strongest memory I have of the show is when he was in the mental institution, and that only sticks out because that was the most infuriated I'd ever been in my life at a character, and it showed me how shit the show was going to be. The show is seriously so fucking awful that I legitimately think your trolling when you say you liked it. But it's so fucking awful that I WILL GLADLY TAKE THE BAIT BECAUSE I AN NEVER NOT BITCH ABOUT THE SHOW ENOUGH
