I think the difference for us, Tien, was expectations -- in that I really didn't have any. So those things you were hoping to see and didn't weren't an issue for me.
But I'm totally with you on liking the themes the story presented -- how they played off the current themes of Iron Fist regarding worthiness, home, purpose, and even the twisting of history to fit a narrative. I liked seeing that the honor of the Iron Fist was at first considered strictly a curse.
