I blame Scott Buck.

One thing from 'Iron Fist' that I did appreciate was that with the Hand they introduced some nuance with the group, with Bakuto claiming that Gao represented the "bad part" of the organization, instead of being just one monolith of evil. Though sadly it seems they tossed that out in 'The Defenders' since the two have little to no reservations about working together when gathered as the "five fingers" (sans Sowande). Yes, there was a conflict in regards to Alexandra's methods to speed up the plans and using the last of their resources on the Black Sky, but that conflict was solved very quickly when Elektra killed her, removing any tension about if the Hand would proceed or not.
