Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book TV Show Worst To Best

22. Iron Fist

If any series were to typify the decline of Netflix's Marvel properties, it would be Iron Fist.

Controversial right off the bat for its adherence to the original comic's white-saviour nature (fans had also been rallying around an Asian actor to play the title character), Scott Buck's entrance to the MCU was anything but the one fans had hoped for. It was clunky, disjointed and Finn Jones struggled in the role of Danny Rand (on and off the screen).

It was just a poorly conceived piece of television, and it didn't help that it bore a direct influence on Netflix's subsequent entries in the MCU either.

With a second season now on the horizon too, one can only hope that it doesn't manage to mess up two years worth of Marvel content, lest the fallout has a knock-on effect on Daredevil too.
