Marvel's The Defenders: 8 Ways It Saved Iron Fist
6. He's Actually Likable Now
As stated before, the biggest problem with Danny Rand's character in Iron Fist is that he behaved like a spoiled, petulant child. In other words, he wasn't exactly the type of character you could find yourself tolerating, much less liking (especially when you had to spend a total of thirteen hours with him.)
However, it's clear that the writers of The Defenders went above and beyond to try and make him a character it's actually easy for fans to root for - and to considerable success.
In fact, in The Defenders, he became the type of character you couldn't wait to see again, as opposed to one you just wish would go away like he was before. His motivations are nobler, he has matured considerably, and between his one-liners, his bantering with the rest of his teammates, and his general moments of comic relief, he is genuinely one of the show's funniest characters.
All things considered, Danny is a much more grown-up character now and even when his childish side does come out, it's usually in a way that's funny, endearing, and helps him connect to the other Defenders, as opposed to being so irritating you wonder why anyone even puts up with him.
