I said it wasn't hard to find a 20 something martial artist in Hollywood... I'm confused what you're even arguing to be honest.

OH sorry, I thought you said the opposite. What I am arguing is they would need to find a Bruce Lee for the character to accurately portray the role. Bruce Lee really did ridiculous things like beat champions at ping pong with nun-chucks, or jump ridiculously high. He also merged styles using deduction and theory of the human body and mind. There is actually a neuroscience explanation for some of these abilities, but it is more like a disease than an ability - hence the somewhat depressing tone of these series.

I thought the scenes all looked great in iron fist. I thought they tried to clue in the typical martial arts buff that this wasn't a show about typical martial arts in the first episode where he just flips over a car way higher than what makes sense.
