* OlderThanTheyThink: The discussion of whether Danny Rand should have been Caucasian or Asian American has been around since he debuted back in the '70s. While a lot of the blame is shoved onto ''people who don't even read the comics'', there was a lot of people calling for an Asian Danny who were big fans of Iron Fist and many spoke quite warmly of the character, in-spite of the racial issues (Creator/GailSimone, for instance, identified Iron Fist as her favourite Marvel character, while being a big proponent for casting an Asian actor). **This discussion becomes more complicated with other MCU characters like Elektra (Greek in the comics) is portrayed by a Chinese American Lily Chee as a child and French Cambodian Elodie Yung. A similar discussion happen with the Imhumans character Triton and Karnak who are the only member of the family portrayed by East Asians but martial artist Karnak is portrayed by non-fighter Ken Leung, whilst Fish Man Triton is portrayed as the best fighter courtesy of martial arts actor Mike Moh.

* QuestionableCasting:
** Finn Jones's casting as Danny Rand. Race issues aside, he's a non-American actor who has zero martial arts background. Then again, Charlie Cox, a British actor, plays Daredevil, and most of his action scenes are performed by stuntman Chris Brewster.
** In a similar vein, Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing. She, too, was in ''Game of Thrones''... and her sole fight scene in it is considered the epitome of FightSceneFailure of the show (the scene in question had been the victim of TroubledProduction). Casting someone associated with the nadir of fight scenes as a skilled martial artist in a work about skilled martial artists raised more than a few eyebrows before release. But unlike Finn Jones, Henwick's performance has been almost universally praised.

Except it's obvious to anyone who watched ''Series/Daredevil2015''. It's even better if you're watching with the descriptive audio, which never makes any bones about just calling her by name. That's assuming one didn't watch the trailer for season one in which she appears quite a few times.
