Yesssss I love this and I need this. Because Danny is MESSED UP, like, wow, I didn't watch 90% of Iron Fist but I did watch a few snippets and the last episode (after watching The Defenders lol) and I was like ???? Ok yes Defenders already confirmed that he's not all there but ???? this young man is ???? explicitly psychotic ???? And has trauma that clearly affected his development???? Oh god please help him????? Also Colleen needs help too bc she's got so many issues but also has taken it upon herself to take care of Danny Rand's extravagantly mentally unstable ass.
And the others are Messed Up too, of course (lol I love the fact that The Defenders are Mental Health Issues United), but Danny is...like...well, NOTABLE because he's also got the whole Sweet Innocence that Claire mentioned AND is the youngest.
Anyway, I also think it could actually help the others to kind of have someone to Protect and be like 'well at least there's someone more messed up than me, though if I am Jessica Jones I may be lying to myself, and he is clearly at least pretty happy sort of'. At the very least, I think they could definitely latch on to Danny to indulge their protective instincts, and, yeah, feel good about themselves for Knowing Best, and I feel like Luke would definitely jump on the ~let me school you on the ways of the world~ thing. I feel like with Jessica there would just be a lot of UGH JUST LET ME DO IT.
Also Danny is An Innocent in a very weird way and spends like seventy percent of his time in a cloud of confusion and trauma and cheerful 'ooooh this is all very COOL and everything is SO IMPRESSIVE', and screws up more than he actually gets shit done because wow he is immature and impulsive, also he has the common sense of a goat, so maybe the others would have a point.
(Sorry about the rambling, I just turned out to be far more invested in Danny Rand than I wanted to be. And these characters are all the Best and just so. Screwed. Up. And I might fill this, is there anything you don't want to see, OP?)
