All against the Hand, Elektra and Sigourney Weaver.

Oh and Punisher is (rumored) to pop up.

Daredevil they pretty much nailed

JJ mehhh cliche girl power storytelling and character (wish she was balck cat or soemthing)

Luke Cage is "ok"

Iron Fist (the one I really wanted to see) is weak in visuals and portrayal

I loved Jessica Jones and the first season of Daredevil.

Luke Cage had a great six episode run before it fell apart.

Iron Fist was all around trash.

Daredevil Season 2 had a great four episode run before it devolved into trash.

Problem is they need eight episodes versus the thirteen that they're given.

what we just saw in the trailer wasn't his only "highlights" reel

What they showed in the iron fist trailer was basically the only cool shit he did in the show.

I think they miscast that role but they didn't give him much material to work with either.

Be it a show, a season, or an episode, it's either well written or poorly written, but episode number is immaterial.

These shows need better writing and greater overall consistency regardless of the ep numbers.

I still haven't finished the last 3 episodes to that and I almost have no desire to.

Maybe I'll just jump into Defenders, some of these series don't need to be 10 episodes that's for sure.

Even with being only 8 episodes, I was very
satisfied with it. The story developed nicely,
and Jessica and Luke's acting was better than
it was in their own shows imo. The storyline
was really good too.

There's a few exciting fight scenes, although later on it gets both repetitive and confusing with so many characters fighting and the shaky cam quick edits.
The dialogue had its entertaining moments (JJ being an asshole, mainly), but too much of it was pointless bickering or exposition.

For the life of me, I don't understand why they chose to build a whole story line around the Iron Fist, who is probably the least appealing Marvel character I've ever seen on screen. Badly acted, whiny character whose superpower feels gimmicky and inconsistent. Also gets an award for Most Predictable Fuck Up on television since Carl "my stupidity is the plot" Grimes.

I'll give Punisher a shot, but I'm good for the most part.

After this, I'm not really committed to watching this Netflix Universe anymore.

I used to be a huge Marvel fan but I can't sit through a movie anymore.

As well as Jessica Jones season two, but I'm not feeling this Netflix shit TBH.

This was only 8 episodes and still felt too long. These shows are too long, have pacing problems and writing problems with both story and character.

I'm gonna bow out.
