11 Simple Fixes That Would Have Saved Marvel's Iron Fist

11. Cut Out Most Of The Boardroom Drama

One of the problems with Iron Fist, especially in the earlier episodes, is just how much it invests in the boardroom struggles of Danny, the Meachums, and Rand Enterprises.

While it does bring Jeri Hogarth into the show, which is definitely welcome, it means that the plot - if you can call it that - is extremely boring and difficult to really care about.

Here we have this show, promised to be the most mystical of the bunch, and instead we're watching boardroom meeting after boardroom meeting, with an endless array of stock corporate types muttering about finances and how they can make themselves more money.

Cut a lot, if not all, of that out, and you can focus on telling a more interesting story.
