Who's the woman in the back? Elektra?

Bullet proof...
Blind Ninja...
Whatever it is you are...
... and me... I'm the kung fu "master" that got the business given to me by some random goomba in a hospital records room.
Iron Fist's show was so damn bad. He seems easily the most useless of the bunch. He's not particularly smart and every one of the other defenders could kick his ass.

If they had made it so a glowy hand punch could put down a Hand ninja for good, that would be something. As it is, Danny seems the one who will at some point need rescuing. Even more than non-powered Claire.

He got sucker punched with a brass nuckle. Against hand warriors he did far better than Daredevil.
Lol what? The school kids danny was fighting werent in the same league as the borderline supernatural ninjas dd fought against. Matt would also take hits and not get put down. Danny let his guard down and gave the guy the opening. There's no excuse. He got beat up by random goon. A single random goon.

Yeah, that was my biggest problem with Danny in Iron Fist. It wasn't that he clearly didn't know how to fight, it was how fucking dumb he is. He's surrounded by people who tell him constantly "hey Danny whatever you do, don't do X because Y will happen." He then immediately does X anyway and of course Y happens. Pretty much every decision he makes is the wrong one. It takes him until the last episode of the series to stop trusting obviously homicidal villain Harold. He is by far the stupidest protagonist in MCU history, maybe even in all of superhero movie/TV show history.

Who is Sigourney Weaver supposed to be and why is she the leader of the Hand?
Those ninjas eventually became jobbers as the series went on. Reminds me of the ninjas on Arrow, at first they were tough but then they became Brooklyn Brawler status.
With out watching the show, I find it hard to believe the Noboo and Madam Gao's of the world answer to her
You ask two questions here, and they both answer each other.
i feel so naughty and dirty. everyone i know has been slating it and im over here like hey... i thought it was cheesy and the character was daft, but it was pretty good fun?
jessica jones didn't click for me at all (i don't like david tennant in general) but i've watched daredevil, iron fist and am currently going through luke cage with the other half so i guess we'll have to give it another go.
Ruh roh. I think we just finished ep6 last night.
cottonmouth just got jailed.

It's pretty rough, but it gives more insight into the MCU version of
The Hand
Either that, or I experienced the effects of a mild form of Stockholm Syndrome and just thought it got better as I invested my time into it.

I want to watch it but I'm finding it hard to get through Iron Fist, I'm still on like episode 4 after all this time.
It's so hard.
It's so hard.
I enjoyed Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and I tolerated Iron Fist. The trailer has me pretty hyped.
When I watched Iron Fist, I decided to watch DD season 2 to catch up on the hospital incident Claire kept referring to. Comparing how both shows introduced The Hand, I liked Daredevil's Hand far better. They were far more mysterious and deadlier than the gun-toting goons who never fired a shot in Iron Fist. Good to know it's Daredevil's show runner in charge of the Defenders.

That random goon was actually using the mystical martial arts technique of 'death by 56 cuts'
He doesnt deserve her tbh lol.
They're referring to the poor physical performance of the actor counting his steps through the choreography.

I felt this way too. It did the job that it looks like it was intended to do (Punisher, Elektra/Defenders lead-in), but it did feel busy.
Danny. Spoiler content for the initial Civil War comics run:
Danny actually fills in for DD during Civil War. DD won't risk his identity being uncovered, and Danny basically says "I got you fam". It's actually kind of a fun reveal, but the point is that he can whip tail just like DD, and it's not really that hard for him.

you should have considered that joking about a death of someone's grandmother just isn't good taste.
word yeah the son was ward.
also every time i see your avatar in the corner of my vision i keep thinking it is blue from blue's clues
It sounds weird but I kinda feel the same. I mean I know hype will reach insane levels when Avengers gets closer to release but the thing with the Netflix series is that they made me care more about the characters - maybe because they have a lot more screen time.
HAMMER?????It checks out
(THOR: RAGNAROK,
edit: to elaborate, ragnarok trailer spoiler :
mjolnir is destroyed, what comes next?
double post :/

Christ they need costumes. Them all kicking ass in smart casual just isn't working.
Mike Colter has great chemistry with Krysten Ritter, which is why I don't understand why they are so hesitant story wise to pair them again and have them married. Maybe that happens on The Defenders? There were also a few standout moments in his own show with his ex-wire actress. On his own though, he does come off as pretty dull.
Luke Cage and Jessica Jones don't wear costumes and Matt wears his.

sometimes jessica jones wears a costume, it was hinted at in jj season 1

What no you're crazy it 100% does.
Nah, Trish suggested that she wear a costume way back when Jessica was thinking about being a superhero. Jessica flatly refused the idea.
Her never-changing leather jacket/scarf combo have always been her "outfit".
I... I could use that.

Trailer look ok to me, hoping it's better than what I'm thinking it will be.
Really looking forward to Punisher, the first few episodes of him in Daredevil S2 are the best Netflix/marvel have done so far with these characters.

No, she doesn't. Only really in the events the precede her actual first comic appearance.

Right of course on the show she doesn't wear the costume but I think I'm the comics she wore it and tried to be a superhero. She still possesses the costume on the show I think, maybe she will break it out one day.
Use it, then!
wasnt she trying to be a superhero in her first comic appearance?

Finn jones is trash and bland as hell. Colter and ritter are just wastemen.
The lighting is also dull as hell, looks like iron man 2.

We approach these [characters] all as real people who just happen to have these abilities, so theyre all very grounded.

Will Danny Rand be less bland, annoying, and dumb this time around?
Probably not, but if he keeps getting jobbed, I'll allow it.

Jones was saddled with poor direction and writing, so I have no idea if he would have been good with better writing or not. I do know that he wanted to train more extensively, but the production schedule was hella shortened and so he didn't train as much as he wanted to.
Different showrunner, writers, with more interesting cast members to bounce off of, maybe Finn Jones will come into his own here. Maybe. Jones had very few moments to be charming, he was pretty gruffly angry and doing dumb shit most of the time.
