Note: none of this directly has to do with whitewashing but you'll note the stakes get a lot higher if Danny is visibly "foreign"

Imagine a critical scene with the cops dragging away an Asian guy with a stilted accent who insists that in his youth he lived on Park Ave

Part of what's obnoxious abt this version is he's homeless but he's a rich kid playing at being homeless who wouldn't (doesn't) last a week

Part of what made the beats in the Iron Fist comics work was this contradiction that he was theoretically a 1%er but had seen a ton of shit

Have him and Luke bond over spending a large portion of their lives being terrified of getting picked up by the cops

But Danny unlike Luke showed up without any job skills or friends or cultural competence for 2017 New York

That iconic scene with Danny & Luke having milkshakes in a diner, Danny is just so happy and grateful for shit even Luke takes for granted

And when Danny tries to say this Luke gets pissed bc he can still only think of Danny as the billionaire's son who came back from the dead

Idk man. You can make Iron Fist be about the Narnia angle or about the "crazy hobo" angle, why would you pick the corporate boardroom angle
