Marvel's Iron Fist: 44 Easter Eggs & Reference You Must See

44. The Episode Titles

Just as the episode titles in Luke Cage were all Easter Egg references to specific Gang Starr rap tracks, the Iron Fist episode names are linked to the mythology of the character.

Each is either the real name of a martial arts move or a very close translation (or mistranslation of one). They obviously also vaguely reference plot details of each specific episode. Obviously the first episode Snow Gives Way refers to the snowy crash of the Rands' plane, while episode 6's title Immortal Emerges From Cave foreshadows the appearance of two of the Immortal Weapons.

It's a clever way of teasing without spoiling anything.
