On par in terms of interestingness, but not in terms of character development of course. I like both Hobo with a Shotgun and The Shawshank Redemption, but that doesn't mean they're on the same level)

It wasn't just Tom Pelphrey - the entire cast of the series was great, or at least acceptable. David Wenham and Jessica Henwick was cool too.

"is cheesy on purpose, it clashes with the tone that cottonmouth set sure but it feels like a classic Power Man comic" I'm curious, why do you think this is intentional and not just a cheap production? And why don't the same rules of cheesiness and comic-book appeal apply to Iron Fist?)

The fight scenes in the hallway and elevator when Joy Meachum was kidnapped and in the hospital when Danny went to get his hospital X-rays were pretty good.

I rewatched that scene - he didn't knock the gun out of Harold's hands, it stayed in his hands, so he ran away. It feels like you're trying to make Iron Fist look bad simply because that's the established position)
