11 Netflix Marvel Performances The MCU Needs To Save

11. Iron Fist (Finn Jones)

He didn't do anything wrong.

Iron Fist failed because it embodied all the negative traits of Netflix's show-running. It suffered from overlong seasons, naff supporting characters, silly subplots, boring villains... the works.

It even took them a while to work out what exactly they wanted to do with Danny Rand's character. It was unfortunate that he started out as an unlikable whiny youth. But eventually, he did find his feet.

During all these stages, Finn Jones gave a dedicated performance, which gradually evolved season by season. By the time he was making cameo appearances in Luke Cage and ramping up his maturity in the second series, we could clearly see that Finn was indeed a perfectly viable Iron Fist.

The show would ultimately fail to recover from its bad points, but by its end, Danny Rand was a fully functioning superhero, with potential for a great deal more, were he given that one final squeeze. Does Finn Jones deserve a place in the MCU hall of fame? For all the flak he received, he's certainly earned it.
