• Danny Rand: Jesus, what a pussy. The weapon of K'un-Lun? No. Everything about him goes completely against what the Iron Fist is supposed to represent. He's erratic and over-emotional. He doesn't use his Iron Fist powers well at all. And when he does, the power of his glowing fist seems to range from blasting through concrete walls, steel doors, and knocking down everyone in front of him with a shockwave, down to knocking a normal bad guy thug off his feet. WTF?
• Powers in general: Iron Fist, Cage, and Jones all have enough strength to canoe some thugs' heads with a single punch. Yet we're all kung fu fighting....
• Bad Guys: For going up against powerful superheroes that are still susceptible to gunfire, these dipshits sure have a lack of guns. But many conveniently carry swords? Yeesh.
• Evolving motivations: So Stick is somewhat of a leader of the group? Nope, now he's evil and wants to kill Iron Fist. Elektra going from confused amnesiac borderline redeemable, to brutally murdering Alexandra and taking over the Hand. Too many weird shifts like that.
• Rand using his Iron Fist to break the seal: JFC.... Seriously? He even states "I know what you're trying to make me do." right before he powered up his fancy glowing hand and did exactly what she was trying to make him do. Uggghh.
• Sigourney Weaver: Sucked. She moved around scenes like she had a carrot up her ass. Her lines were wooden and unconvincing. I was glad to see her finally killed off, I couldn't take much more.
• Jessica Jones: Her whiny drunk attitude is annoying and forced. She comes off boring since she never really uses her powers outside of throwing a few guys across the room, and she can still be easily injured.
• Ending with DD escaping: LOLWUT? Just stupid and unbelievable.
• Camera work: Not sure if anyone else noticed, but the camera work seemed really shoddy in this. And that's usually not something I ever give a shit about. But it was very noticeable to me. In many static camera shots, there was still a great deal of camera wobble. Example would be Episode 1 @ 41:30. But it happens in every episode at various times. Just drove me nuts..
• Cop Logic: Yeah.....

I don't follow things especially well, but I thought Stick wanted to kill Danny so that he couldn't be used as the key.
