User blog:Lover of the Muse/Fixing Iron Fist Part 1

I think we can all agree that Iron Fist was not nearly as good as it should or could have been. Here are some ideas on how the series could have been done better.

My idea for season1 combines the comic book origin of Danny Rand with the story of Orson Randall.

Like Luke Cage, Iron Fist season1 is split into 2 different stories.

Part 1: Danny's quest for revenge on Harold Meechum
Danny Rand is stranded in the himilayas after he and his parents are betrayed by their friend Harold Meechum. Danny's parents die but he is rescued by monks from Kun-lun.

The monks teach Danny Rand discipline and martial arts and Danny spends the next several years there mastering kung fu and honing his body to physical perfection. After fighting a dragon and obtaining the power and title of the Iron Fist. Danny Rand is supposed to represent Kun-Lun in a tournament of the seven heavenly cities but instead he departs the mystical city and heads to New York to search for the man responsible for his parents death so he can seek revenge.

Killing Harold Meechum is easier said than done as the man is a paranoid recluse whose location is a mystery. Harold Meechum is like big brother, his face and vocie are everywhere and he is always watching but he is always located somewhere else.

Harold Meechum's company is run like a dictatorship. The company oversees every aspect of it's employees lives including what food they can eat, what apartments they can live in, what transportation they take, what medication they take, and who they are allowed to or forced to sleep with. Employees who cause too much trouble wind up disappearing or have accidents happen to them.

The first several episodes are a cat and mouse game where Danny tries to find out where Harold Meechum is hiding and Harold Meechum hires assasins and sets up death traps to kill Danny Rand.

Golden Tiger gang led by Robert Hao are the first people that Harold Meechum sends after Danny. The final person that Harold Meechum hires is a former SHIELD agent/Hydra operative named Frank Payne aka the Constrictor. Frank Payne has a Hydra designed "Constrictor suit" that includes wrist pointed electified metal coils.

It's during these episodes that were introduced to Coleen Wing.

When Danny Rand finally does disvover where Harold Meechum has been hiding he finds out that the man is a cripple.
