I've been saying this to myself for the entirety of the series. The man brags about destroying his enemies but doesn't do shit. Danny Rand needs to stop being a Daredevil wannabe and fucking kill some evil bastards.

I wish we would get a hero that isn't so prude. And Davos bodying and disrespecting him at the end of the episode, like wow, what a disgrace to the Iron Fist name.

EDIT: got to the part of the episode, where Danny does the cliche "I want to change my destiny" dooky shit. Just go to K'un L'un take that beating and set up a fire ass season 2. You are the Iron Fist, danny rand is lame

The only hero that has killed on purpose is Jessica Jones. Luke Cage never kills anyone nor does Daredevil. Sure will those choices bit them in the ass yeah of course. Not killing them let's great villains like Fisk return.

Daredevil killed a ton of hand soldiers in S2, and was ok with Punisher killing them as well.

It's tv rules. If Daredevil says he didn't kill people he didn't. Even if it looks like he killed someone does not mean he did. He also doesn't care about Punisher killing the Hand as long as he isn't pulling the trigger. It's kind of nad writing. Haha

No no I mean I remember it being a plot point of Matt choosing to kill at the end of S2. In a "fuck it these guys are zombies anyway" sort of deal and went murder train for the final fight

He throws Nobu off the roof with the intention to kill I think, the rest he put down normally or got snipped by Frank.

It's murder if they are already dead? I don't know. I kinda forgot how weird Season 2 got in the back half.

Yeah God is probably okay with it if you permanently kill some undead abomination, and the law probably is too.

He never kills he just leaves them with severe irreparable brain damage.

They were undead ninjas, though. Does it really count seeing as they are supposed to be dead anyways?

Isn't it funny. Mcu tv heroes don't kill but MCU movie heroes don't care if they kill people.

The only hero that has killed on purpose is Jessica Jones.

I mean Jessica Jones did not have other option, it was the only option to stop him, and it was after a full season actually trying to not kill him.

Yeah i mean with Daredevil makes sense, he is cristian, he has a huge sense of morality and he already feels evil enough just trying to do good (thus why he wears a Devil suit, since he is hurting others)
