Iron Fist has always been white, the problem was he's a bit of a 'white savior' trope - white dude goes to a foreign village, learns to do their own martial arts better than they can, then assumes the mantle of their legendary champion.
The showrunner on Inhumans and the first season of Iron Fist was the same guy. He has a reputation for being the guy studios call when they need a show finished by a deadline and under budget. Naturally, the shows turn out awful.
The Gifted was good. So was Cloak & Dagger which felt a lot like the Netflix shows in tone and subject matter. Cloak & Dagger even traded references with Luke Cage a few times, so it was basically an honorary Netflix Marvel show. With the MCU bringing back Daredevil, the Raimi & Webb Spider-Mans, and possibly the Fox X-Men, I really hope they bring back Cloak & Dagger and The Gifted next.

I just remember it didn't go well for Netflix cause of that aka why their Marvel shows didn't last too long  assuming |
The Netflix Marvel shows were generally great (except Iron Fist season one lol ). Netflix cancelled them because Disney was launching Disney+, directly competing with them, and the Netflix Marvel shows would've been like free advertising for the Disney+ Marvel shows, on top of the licensing fees Netflix was paying Marvel to let them make those shows.
The cancellations came out of nowhere and had nothing to do with the quality of the shows. Disney eventually shut down the entire Marvel Television division and cancelled all the non-MCU shows like Cloak & Dagger, The Gifted, Runaways, and Helstrom so Marvel Studios could produce all their MCU shows and push Disney+.
