Iron Fist (2017)
Infinitely better on a second watch
I started watching Iron Fist immediately when it came out but I knew only a very little about his lore and honestly I enjoyed the show but it didn't really blow me away, it was the "eh its okay I guess" category.
But then years later, when I heard that there's a 2nd season coming I said to myself, I have nothing to watch lets rewatch this show and by God was I surprised.
After all the details from watching all the other Marvel Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Defenders) this show just somehow became a thoroughly enjoyable experience. There are SO many references and hints and plot points that you will not understand on a first watch especially not if you haven't watched The Defenders yet or the other Marvel Netflix shows. I do not want to spoil it for people who, I suggest go back and experience it all again. I expected Iron fist to just constantly use his powers when I first watched it and was disappointed that he didn't, as I called it back then "there's not enough iron fisting".
Well now that I understand the story a bit better I know why that's the case, Danny's story isn't that of a master, yes he has powers but they're in their infancy still, this is only the start of his story, they never really showed a timeline of how long Danny stayed in Kun Lun after getting the Iron Fist so I didn't pick up on it on a first watch but I'd imagine it was only a couple months at best now after a rewatch.
Luke Cage: The Main Ingredient (2018)
Best episode of Luke Cage
So this has to be THE best Luke Cage episode made. There's none that even really comes close.
The dynamic between Finn Jones and Mike Colter is excellent and their banter got me giggling like a 10 year old. In fact it brings back a nostalgic feeling, of watching cartoons and reading comics about superheroes. The jokes felt natural and fitting and the differences and similarities between the heroes were shown in an excellent manner, the fight scenes were awesome and you can definitely see how much Finn Jones improved when it comes to fighting coreography and the two actors play very well off of each other.
Overall, the two characters flow so well with each other I wonder why they aren't together during the whole show.
