Marvel's Iron Fist: 30 WTF Moments In Netflix's First Failure

20. The Hand Are Terrible

Another Marvel property and another group of villainous henchmen who are impossibly terrible at their jobs, despite the fact that it is established by a pretty major sub-plot that they have to qualify through excellence for the clan.

Danny might look quite stylish as a fighter, but he's definitely not a good one. Despite bleating on about being undefeatable, he's close to being beaten several times until Colleen or Claire helps him out while he struggles with a painfully obvious erectile dysfunctional Allegory ("I'm sorry, Janet, I can't romance you tonight, I can't get my Iron Fist out")...

And yet, The Hand's ninjas still can't do him in. They're like the Chitauri and Ultron's robo-army before them - just there to add numbers to the fight scenes. And frankly, they're growing really, really tiresome.
