And its time to meet the fourth Defender inMarvels Iron Fist, which does…dot dot dot.
Thats still to be determined.

Based on the series premiere, this might be the most generic Marvel show to hit Netflix.
Danny Rands (Finn Jones) origin story is similar to many that have come before.
When Danny was 10, he went on a trip with his rich parents.
Believe me, the parallels toArrowandBatman Beginsdont end there.
So, Danny is unceremoniously escorted out of the building.
Apparently, his years away taught him how to live humbly.
I wishMarvels Iron Fisthad taken Big Als advice.
I guess I might as well tell you now that Big Al dies at the end of the episode.
What was the characters point?
Im not entirely sure right now.
That being said, something good does come from Dannys stay in the park.
(Hmm, who did we recently see looking at flyers for Colleens studio?)
Colleen has to cut him off and tells him to speak English or Japanese.
Theres an energy in her performance that seems to be missing everywhere else.
You were a dick as a kid and youre still a dick now, says Danny.
Luckily, he stops just in time before they both die.
Harold and Wards relationship is not the most loving, which is to be expected.
Unlike Ward, Harold wonders if this Danny could actually be the real Danny because stranger things have happened.
The next day, Danny sneaks into Rand to see Joy yet again.
Who is Dannys main antagonist?
What concrete goal is he working toward?
But what is Danny fighting for?
(Perhaps I should be more appreciative that theyre rather low key at the moment.
Hopefully the next episode does a better job of establishing the stakes of the series.
