History Series / IronFist2017

* {}Not Even Bothering With The Accent}}: British Indian Sacha Dhawan uses his own Manchester accent rather than a more realistical accent like an Asian (since he is from Kun Lun) or American (Assuming he'd pick up on Dannys accent) accent for Davos

* DoesNotLikeShoes: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Danny seems to have no problem walking barefoot on the New York sidewalk and both he and Colleen are frequently barefoot in the dojo, [[JustifiedTrope which is also Colleen's home and where it is traditional to be without shoes.]] [[note]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgsXOnfrxdo Neither actor seemed to mind.]][[/note]]

* OutDamnedSpot: Ward hallucinates blood on his cuffs and flowing down an elevator shaft when he believes he has killed Harold for good.

** In New York alone, [[Series/{{Daredevil2015}} a crew of undead ninjas attacked a hospital in Hell's Kitchen]], [[Series/JessicaJones2015 a sociopath with mind-control was let loose in the same neighborhood]], [[Series/LukeCage2016 a man with bulletproof skin became known for his vigilante activity in Harlem]], not to mention ''[[Film/TheAvengers2012 a full-on extra-terrestrial invasion]]'', and despite all this evidence, Ward has trouble believing Danny, officially stated as deceased, may actually be who he says he is. Harold is more open to the idea of it being Danny (a given since the Hand brought him back from the dead). And Jeri Hogarth believes him within a minute by quizzing him about specific details of her office space, since she's seen stranger things like Kilgrave and Jessica Jones up close.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Compared to [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Captain America]] and [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Peter Quill]], Danny is a more subdued version of this after having gone missing for fifteen years in the early 2000s. To emphasize this he is shown carrying around a first-generation [=iPod=] loaded up with late-'90s rap.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each episode is the name of a Shaolin kung-fu move.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Bakuto. He has a Japanese-sounding name, but Ramon Rodriguez, who plays him, is Puerto Rican. His childhood boogeyman being [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_Man the Sack Man]] implies Latino or Brazilian heritage. In the comics, Bakuto runs a South American faction of the Hand. Of course, as ''The Defenders'' reveals, [[spoiler:he, like Davos, hails from K'un-L'un.]]

* AluminumChristmasTrees: An ax, er, [[InsistentTerminology hatchet]]-wielding Chinese gang? That's actually based on a real gang that operated in Shanghai during Japanese occupation. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Axe_Gang The Axe Gang]] has already been portrayed in a number of other Asian action films such as ''Film/KungFuHustle''.

* MetaCasting: Mary Walker, who has dissociative identity disorder and two main personalities, is played by Alice Eve, who has heterochromia (where the eyes are mismatched colors).

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Has [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome/IronFist2017 its own page]].

** Another minor one: Colleen mentions that Danny doesn't know who [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob]] is, however in ''Series/LukeCage2016'', Danny mentions the last album he bought before boarding the doomed flight was The Chronic 2001, which released November 1999; SpongeBob debuted in May 1999, so it's very unlikely Danny didn't see it, especially given his age at the time.
