Defenders literally follows directly on from IF season 1, and picks up on stuff from the second part of DD S2.
All in all I did like it. I liked it A LOT more than Iron Fist or Luke Cage second half. DD was usually the best part of it for me. The one problem I had with it was how I didn't buy the group's initial hesitation for teaming up
. Felt a bit forced in order to make it seem like there's more of an arc to their teaming up.
Oh yeah also The Hand was never intimidating enough. Madame Gao was good. She's the only one with that kind of larger than life mystical aura to her. Aside from her their omnipotential organization felt like a gang. They honestly didn't feel any more powerful than Kingpin and his mafia.
WE'RE NOT A TEAM

I finished it today lol.
Season 2 of Iron Fist should be mainly Daughters of the Dragon focused. Just leave Danny in the background chasing butterflies and swatting at balls of yarn.

Y'all never had smoked abalone?
What's more confusing is Jessica Jones power. She is stronger then Luke but when she fights you would never know it.
She is? Where was this stated again or shown, been far too long since I watched JJ
I think they have the exact same powers, except her liver is invulnerable instead of her skin.
Her powers were wildly inconsistent in JJ. There are some episodes where she comes off as stronger than other episodes. I kind of want to say the same thing for Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Their powers are adjusted to match what's needed for the plot.

i think people are probably assuming this based on comics. in the show she does have the fast healing and jumping ability though.
although her, luke, and will (after combat enhancers) seemed about of equal match. against normal people she's probably holding back her strength.

weren't they all street kids? made sense they didn't put up a fight
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Why wouldn't they spray the acid at them? I know I would, I would've melted both Danny and Coleen's faces off
There not Psychopathic murderers they're just kids trying to earn money like Luke told Danny.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
But they'll melt dead bodies without a seconds thought?
I mean there's a huge difference between melting a dead body and murdering someone that's not even a question. There's a reason they pick kids that are in the worst economic places because they're desperate.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
It still was a silly scene, why would Danny and Colleen even risk it? They never knew the cleaners were kids, and those cleaners could've very well been the hand who would've used that acid instantly
There is a lot of stupid shit in this show that doesn't make a lick of sense. That's a really small weird thing to get hung up on lol

In JJ, when Luke got pissed she tried to hold him back but couldn't.

I'd just seen the episode like a second before posting so it was fresh in my mind haha
Shame that the quality of netflix shows (Marvel in general with Inhumans) seems to have dropped
You didn't watch DD at least before jumping into this? That's a new one lol
He's more like Jessica than he thought lol
He just left her with the tab. What a shitty friend. (Or negligent writing)
That's the same as watching Avengers as your first Marvel movie, watching Serenity without Firefly, or watching Advent Children without al teast a let's play of FF7. AKA what's the point.

FInished ep 8
the defenders is a solid 9.2/10
The fights were great but not as detailled as they were in daredevil..but they made it up with some awesome characters moments from the entire cast
i especially liked the fact that they weren't any filler sub-plot.
so i got exactly what i wanted.
The way they tied the storyline to make the 4 met was quite neat
probably my second best marvel netflix show behind daredevil season 1

baka lol
Ep6 finished. Finally, a plot development I was not expecting. Finally, some excitement that comes from the story, not the action.
I'll second the opinion that this show is really sloppy, and Danny is really grating, but I have to admit that despite those issues I still love every second when the team is together and doing their thing.

Exactly. I'm just happy to see them hanging out and playing off each other. And shitting on Danny most of the time.

The show kinda makes it too easy to shit on Danny. He's kind of a dumbass, which unfortunately carries over from Iron Fist. It's consistent, I guess.
I like that they show how valuable Daredevil is to the team.

I've seen DD, LC, and IF, but not JJ. Is watching JJ necessary/recommmended before watching defenders?
Thanks
Thanks
So after two years of buildup, it sounds like DD S1 is still the only one most would agree is worth a damn. Shame at how this whole thing seemed to fizzle.
(I liked JJ a lot, but haven't seen anything else in the series since)
It's enjoyable on its own. JJ immediately followed DD1, so there is light cross-over there, plus the proper introduction of Luke Cage whom gets a good deal of screen time. Villain is pretty great, and the only real complaint is that the show stretches on for maybe a few episodes longer than needed.

Not really. The only one people have been super down on is ironfist. Just like with games gaf is often not representative of the larger audience.

Five episodes in. Getting good.
Personally:
DDS2 pt 1 = DDS1 > DDS2 pt 2 > Defenders > IF > JJ
They're all a ton of fun though. I anticipate what's next. I too am in the camp that feels the Danny Rand hate is overdone now. He was annoying in the beginning of IF, but after the second half and now with Defenders done I like the role and character he brings to the universe.

Jeph Loeb is legit WOAT tier producer
Nope, most people loved Jessica Jones.
