I'm starting to believe that Iron Fist was the wrong character to give a street level TV-budget Netflix series to, especially if they are going to skirt around the mysticism and martial arts elements.
Which Marvel character should have gotten a Netflix series part of the Defenders line-up instead?
Moon Knight

Based on what? It hasn't aired.
>especially if they are going to skirt around the mysticism
That's speculation from /co/, there's no proof.
>and martial arts elements.
That doesn't make any sense, the trailer had plenty of it and it's a main selling point.

Seconded.
Of course then you'd probably have people shrieking 'cultural appropriation' over the use of Khonshu. And say the series is a hate crime because Marc's a crazy person.
Just like they did when Split was about to come out.

Frankly they should have realized Punisher would be their best character sooner and had him with his own series from the jump.

Eh, people seem to like Mr. Robot and Legion.

There's an interview where they straight up say they keep it only hinted at to keep it real n gritty

Jones did almost 0 training for it, multiple reviews have called it out on being too slow, looking like a rehearsed dance, easy to spot stunt doubles and being worse than DD
I would like to see Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, starring Sons of the Tiger and then swapping them out for White Tiger.
I'm still waiting for the Punisher to get his series. It's the only one I'd actually watch.

Speaking of, I think Malek could make for a decent Spector if he bulked a little for the role.

Well, he is Egyptian. Would probably help cull the problematic aspects of MK's origin. But it would really pigeonhole him to keep playing mentally unbalanced characters.
The guy that played Renly Baratheon would work for Marc, in my opinion.

>Monkey paw the series
I want my Fat Cobra. But do I want a Fat Cobra that sucks?
Conflicted.
Conflicted like a motherfucker.

Shang Chi
Silver Sable
The Black Tarantula

Jessica Jones was a mistake it should have been white tiger

>Scott Buck was the wrong character to give a street level TV-budget Netflix Iron Fist series to, because he decided to skirt around the mysticism and martial arts elements.
ftfy senpai. They could have gotten the guys who make Into the Badlands and it would have been exactly what they needed. Why they thought Scott Buck would be a good fit for the show is beyond me.

You know he's literally just a knock-off of Kane from the 70's TV series Kung-Fu, right?
The problem is that they gave the series to the guy who was the show runner for the the last two seasons of Dexter ... JUST!
