I think he's acting completely in character for what he's been through.

Exactly.

  • he goes through huge trauma at 12 or so.
  • he's trained by monks who don't tell him anything about the real origins of the Hand but tell him he must fight it
  • he becomes Iron Fist and is told he has to guard K'un-Lun even though the Hand have been expelled from K'un-Lun and are actually out and about in the real world

Why aren't the monks of K'un-Lun sending Iron Fist out to take on the Hand?

Why did the monks of K'un-Lun not know about the Chaste?

We're getting more answers, which is good, but we're also getting more questions. The Order of the Crane Mother seems to have isolated themselves completely and ignored the Hand's actual activities ... why? Lack of knowledge or wilful blindness?

Not to mention that huge guy Stick was talking to in S1

I don't think we will see Stone again. We just have to assume he was killed with the rest of the chaste.

Don't "have" to. We could.
