Currently reading this article, gonna post some thoughts as they occur to me. https://twitter.com/Dommiipie/status/1323255597043777537">https://twitter.com/Dommiipie...

This is the most interesting part of his character concept, once you get stuck into reading the books. The fact that Danny spent his formative years in K& #39;un-Lun means he& #39;s got that dual culture experience. He doesn& #39;t feel a connection to America, he& #39;s an outsider in K& #39;un-Lun.

The more I learn about Chinese legend, and about the Iron Fist comics, the more appreciation I have for the amount of effort and genuine cultural appreciation put into this world. It reminds me of the director& #39;s commentary on the Doctor Strange movie. (definitely worth a listen)

A very interesting bit of reasoning given to a stylistic flair I& #39;d like to see return to the comics. I believe it also helped clue the reader into the martial arts madness they would have found obscure, exotic, even obtuse. Reading Danny& #39;s thought process as he performs feats.

The concept of a superhero& #39;s mask being their true face is so often discussed as to be cliché, but it& #39;s interesting nonetheless. Especially when explored in this way. I also find it notable that Danny& #39;s mask is yellow with heavily winged eyes. Make of that what you will.

(I& #39;m pointing this out purely for how interesting it is. I& #39;m not trying to draw any conclusions, and I have absolutely zero interest in baseless speculation about authorial intent. The effect is separate from the intent. Also there are variant masks in green and blue. So, yeah.)
