I think the pedigree for the other three shows is just SO far superior to IRON FIST's Scott Buck...
I mean DAREDEVIL creator/showrunner is Drew Goddard, whose claims to fame include BUFFY, ANGEL, ALIAS, LOST for TV....
And JESSICA JONES creator/showrunner is Melissa Rosenberg whose claims to fame are DEXTER, ALLY McBEAL, and THE O.C., DARK SKIES, THE OUTER LIMITS...
And LUKE CAGE creator/showrunner is Cheo Hodari Coker whose claims to fame are SOUTHLAND, RAY DONOVAN, and ALMOST HUMAN...
Scott Buck's resume is FAR less impressive, but the most telling is that he's never "created" anything, nor had the showrunner role. He's written episodes of TV shows (He wrote for DEXTER, ROME, and SIX FEET UNDER)...but that's not usually what a good showrunner makes. You have to have the skills to oversee a production in most/all aspects and make it flow and jive...the other Netflix Marvel creators have that background in either TV or film...Buck doesn't, and it REALLY showed. The fact that a lot of the complaints stem from random aspects of the show (fight choreography, music, ect.)....shows his hand was NOT strong in all elements. I'm sure he focused down on writing (thew thing he knew how to do), and let the other departments run themselves, delegated. This made for a disjointed whole.
I think you'll find Goddard, and Rosenberg especially (I'm unsure of Coker, as I don't know his work ethic) are hands on EVERYTHING to make sure the product out the other end is the best not can be and jives with their specific vision. Like you can FEEL Rosenberg's courtroom drama aspects from her experience in that....in JJ. In spades.
I don't think Buck had a vision...or if he did, I can't see it in the final product.
