Iron Fist Season 2: 17 WTF Moments

12. Danny Loses His Powers...For SIX Episodes

Iron Fist Season 2 Danny Davos

We've seen superheroes temporarily sidelined or stripped of their powers in previous Marvel Netflix shows, though just about nobody could've anticipated that Danny would spend an entire six episodes (that's 60% of the show's length) without his glowing fist.

Indeed, Danny loses his powers at the end of the fourth episode when Davos performs the transference ritual, and his quest to regain his powers and overthrow Davos defines the entire rest of the season.

Though showrunner Raven Metzner deserves some praise for attempting something so ballsy, it ultimately drags on far too long, and only restoring Danny's powers in the closing seconds of the season was a major mistake.

Sure, taking the powers away for two or three episodes would've been tolerable, but six? It's too much.
