Keep in mind Netflix Marvel is explicitly the "gritty" "working-class" side of the MCU

Yeah, have they considered how many of Luke, Matt, and Jessica's problems could be solved by Danny giving them money?

In the comics Danny doesn't actually reclaim his family name or fortune for a long time

Bc, I guess, they wanted a more "grounded" story than "eccentric kung fu adventure hobo"

That's just it though even with this story arc Danny has still spent his entire childhood and adolescence in kung fu Narnia

Is he gonna struggle with not knowing what smartphones are and stuff? Bc the story logically demands it but that's also super cringey

(Casting aside I would've completely reworked the timing of the K'un-Lun story and made it the main plot not a subplot)

but they want to ignore K'Lun-L'un, because they don't want the whitewashing criticism (or too much of it)
