3) Colleen Wing Is Awesome
If there’s one thing that most people can agree about Iron Fist, it’s that Colleen Wing is the star of the show. The Marvel Netflix series have always been stronger than the MCU movies in the area of tough female characters, and Iron Fist continues this trend with aplomb.
As we’ve said before, Colleen provides some of the best action in the whole show. It has to be said that Jessica Henwick feels the part of a master martial artist a lot more so than Finn Jones (though we will get to him in a moment). She repeatedly impresses us with her karate skills, as she takes down men twice her size in cage fights and wins the respect of the students at her dojo.
On the other hand, her romance with Danny has been criticized in some quarters for feeling shoe-horned in. Your opinion on that will depend on your personal proclivity for superhero love stories, but we would say that Danny and Colleen’s relationship doesn’t feel any more forced than, say, Luke and Claire’s in Luke Cage.
