I don't generally care for street-level supers, but if you're going to have them you're gonna have ninjas).<br /><br />No, it was Danny Rand/Iron Fist.<br /><br />Daredevil is shown to be a clearly better fighter. I don't know if that was a conscious decision, whether the actor playing Matt is just more athletic, or...I just don't know.<br /><br />All I know is that between the actor's lack of onscreen presence, the weak fighting choreography given to his moves, his awful dialogue...ugh. It was like watch the three great heroes of New York, and some punk kid wannabe. <br /><br />Could not stand him, and he is nothing like the Danny Rand of comics. <br /><br />Anyway, I await your next post. Sorry to rant a bit. Cheers!Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.com
