Danny Rand: defeated by women, scolded by women, saved by women, bettered by women in every way. Danny's masculinity is too toxic to hold the Fist, so he gives it to his girlfriend, who says about it, "ehh...I don't know where I end, and it begins." Get it? It's no big deal for her to wield it because femininity is pure. Nevermind that she scolds Danny during a tense scene at the dinner table, commanding him to "Let (Davos) go!" You see, it's cool for her to do this to him because she's heroically turning the tables on the eeeeevil patriarchy.
Danny does nothing worthwhile this entire season. He's white and male, so the writers make him extremely stupid with poor instincts/intuition (unbefitting the Immortal Iron Fist of K'un Lun), and they make him apologize for himself a lot. Ward, also a white male, is a toxic addict who makes gigantic mistakes like getting his erstwhile Narcotics Anonymous sponsor pregnant just before he falls off the wagon. Of course she decides to not let Ward even try to be in their lives. You see, it's because men are unnecessary for raising children. Nevermind that fatherlessness is arguably the premiere epidemic contributing to the rot of our society. Suppose she has a boy. What do you think he's going to think of himself as he matures into that which his mother insists is unnecessary? Of course, they don't think that far ahead. Not in the illogical feminist utopia that is the second season of this show. Davos is nonwhite and male, so he's at least allowed to express his masculinity fully, but since he's evil (remember these are interchangeable: evil and masculine), this only ends up with dozens of people being brutally killed because, lest we forget, toxic masculinity is toxic. Joy's master plan just comes off as petty and more than a little myopic as she uses two people she can't begin to control - Davos and Mary/Walker. M/W suffers from multiple personalities and is interesting but horribly undeveloped. Saw her 3rd alter A MILE AWAY, and even when it's revealed on the show, it's a huge letdown. Oh, and she defeated the Immortal Iron Fist of K'un Lun and basically turned the Fist into a dang glove that anyone can just take and wear themselves if they get inked by witches and can pull the dragon out of the current wearer's head.
It used to be that to spot the most messed up character, just look for the Christian. Now, just look for the white male(s). To find the most heroic, look for the character with the most intersectional victimhood. In IFs2, Colleen and Misty (both female AND minorities) are far and away the most heroic of the show. It would be provocative if it weren't so boringly predictable, as this narrative is the center of the current zeitgeist of Hollywood, the media, and academia. I'd forgive it all, or at least most of it, for decent writing. But alas, here we are. Hard pass on this awful virtue-signaling drivel. 1/10
