Cheo Coker’s desire to transform people’s perception of the hero Iron Fist is likely fine with Marvel, as Iron Fist Season 1 had some of the roughest reviews for a Marvel Netflix series to date.
Should Coker, who shared the statement in an upcoming interview with All Hip Hop TV, change people’s perception of Rand too much, there’s always that chance that they alienate the audience that saw no problem with the hero to begin with.
That said, audiences were far kinder than critics when it came to the series and unofficial data regarding the show’s streaming numbers alleged it was one of the most streamed shows of 2017 at the time.
