Who could be the next big bad that Netflix sets up after the Defenders? I havent finished it yet, but I was wondering where they could go with these guys next if they were to ever team up again. Every show so far aside from Luke and JJ has featured the Hand in some form and lead directly into the Defenders. I cant think of any other villans with organizations for these characters to take on, aside from maybe Kingpin and the mob lol.

Yeah. I mean, I don't expect to see him (or anyone), per se, for those very reasons, but it would have worked just as well to mention him.
Also, regarding the timeline, Stark Tower blowing up in IM3 should be worth at least mentioning, no?
Ok, then I don't know what Moffat has to do with this, because he wasn't even in charge when Tennant was on the show!

Pay $10 to see 8 hours of pretty damn good Marvel TV? Yeah... yeah...
EDIT: Why? Daredevil choreography (IMO so far - on episode 6). Great writing and interactions between the four characters. I liked Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Daredevil, and this show is great IMO.
Sorry folks but I just wish they'd kill Iron Fist off. No offense to Finn, I don't think it's his acting.

They would work fine in the solo series but defently not big enough to bring these characters together again for another Defenders season.
Hence why smaller crossovers like Heroes for Hire or Daughters of the Dragon would be great ideas going forward.

Thx guys ill resub, im asking because iron fist and luke cage werent worth the hassle, just making sure this one is at least as decent as dd.

Well to be honest I loved Luke Cage. Daredevil = Luke Cage > Jessica Jones for me. Something about Luke Cage stealing all those The Wire actors.
The music kicks in when
Dany knocks everyone over with the Iron Fist, why is that music cue about Luke and not Dany? His show also made it clear he's a fan of 90s rap.

Because Luke can't fight without hiphop... it's canon /s
It's alright, there's a lot to criticize, but ultimately I felt it was worth it due to seeing them interact, with Matt and Jessica being the standouts. It's only because it was 8 episodes that I'm not here feeling like my time was wasted.

I don't know if this has been pointed out yet, or if I am just now realizing something I missed from Jessica Jones' main show...
But DAMN, they love to make her butt the focus of a shot.

Completely agree. I have a feeling the Hand will be around till the end though lol, in some form or another. I could see them bringing in Davos to run the Hand with the Cranes or using Stone in a similar role as Gorgon (if he is owned by Fox).

Thats good to hear! Let the binge watch begin!
I can see that happening. Still, I hope we get more of Luke & Danny (as well we Colleen & Misty) working together in the near future.
Yeah, 5 eps in and his acting is steadily getting worse.

Is it the acting though? Or is it the writing? The lines seem so stale and silly compared to everyone else.
Finished it. I was so disappointed. After a few fun episodes, the plot went absolutely nowhere and was capped off by repetitive, weirdly edited fight sequences and
I had been looking forward to this for years. I liked Daredevil and Jessica Jones; even Luke Cage to a point. I'm not sure what I expected, but I thought there was a greater plan for these shows and their interconnecting plots that would justify watching them all. I thought all this set-up like the hole in the ground would amount to something worthwhile - it didn't at all. All the little hints of crossover over the past 2 years now feel ultimately meaningless. For example, Foggy going to work with Hogarth seems to have just been done for the sake of it and not for any interesting character or story reasons.
I stuck with these shows and even suffered through Iron Fist's series, but I think this is where I'm out unless they see a drastic step up in quality.
an entirely inconsequential death fake-out that was hard to feel anything for because it was so obvious they were not going to kill off arguably the biggest hero in any of these shows.

Foggy is still besties with Matt, supporting his DD shit. They might work for different companies but essentially nothing else has changed on a character level.

The writing isn't helping but Colter's not fantastic either but he can sell it. Loras Tyrell can't.

3/5 for me. Felt thoroughly average. Better than IF or the tail end of Luke Cage/Daredevil S2. Altogether more consistent than most any of the Netflix Marvel series so far, but they lose out on the highs as much as they do on the lows. When Danny loosens up a little he's alright, but trying to make him the center of the drama was a bad, bad move. Jones does not have the necessary chops.
I would be okay with this.

I think how they did Danny in this one is good. He's still a naïve cornball but it works.
Yes! That's who he is.
Whoever it was then. Tennant is great in Broadchurch, The Escape Artist.
Dude has no range sadly.
It was a joke about them having to play hip hop all the time Luke is on scene

There was Kima, and... Clay Davis? Seeing the latter just pisses me off more.
Ant-Man and Thor got Avon and String, so we probably aren't going to see them on the small screen.
EDIT: Burrell (not Clay Davis) and that shitbag lawyer, too.

Do I have to have watched all the solo ones too appreciate this one?
I watched Cage, Iron fist and some of Dare Devil.

Nah, DD S1/S2 is enough, Cage helps w/ his cast's dynamics.

The Avengers have to deal with super villains. They leave the defenders to deal with evil business people who maybe know kung-fu.
Hey, remember how great we made Iron Fist look? Well, these folks were all too shitty to become Iron first! Super scary!

Officially,
it's just an earthquake, so it's not really something you would call the Avengers to do anything about.
As a Californian, I wouldn't even wake up for a 4.6. But I guess they're unusual in New York.
You can skip it. Only characters that show up that you haven't met yet are Danny and Colleen. Oh, also just know that Colleen
has a sensei that returns in this.

Iron Fist still suck...
Yes.
Having both Jessica and Matt in it makes it automatically better.

Just finished it. Mixed feelings, bad episodes 1-2, good 3-6, bad 7-8.
Better than Iron Fist, but that's not hard.
How the hell do you cast Sigourney Fucking Weaver and just...waste her.

I don't understand the reviews that were praising her performance, she was pretty bad. Whole dynamic with Elektra was also very weird.
