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

2. K'Un-Lun No More?!

After 13 episodes of flirting and a few sparse scenes set there, there was absolutely no sense of why K'Un-Lun is even important beyond being a spiritual focal point and the home of powers like the Iron Fist. But we're continuously fed the narrative that its destruction would be catastrophic to the universe or something.

So it comes as a pretty big surprise in the final episode when Danny decides to take his girlfriend there to continue his training (because celibate monks will definitely tolerate that relationship) and finds it's been completely obliterated. So where's the shockwaves? Why did literally nothing happen in response? Danny and Davos didn't even feel the place explode, like the Force-users feeling the destruction of Alderaan. Almost like we were all fed a lie of its importance.
