Zylek Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) First trailer has dropped! I'm SO glad it's only 8 episodes, it should feel like a tighter story. I hope they drop the 13 episode thing for the individual seasons asafp. Edited May 3, 2017 by Zylek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Am I the only one who's a bit aggravated that Marvel just tore the Defenders name from their history to associate with characters that have had little to nothing to do with the Defenders? Couldn't they've just called them "The Knights" to reflect their history with the Marvel Knights moniker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Well, Matt is a public defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 But he isn't, nor has he ever been, a Defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I feel the same way about Cyborg being shoe-horned into the Justice League. Nice to see them all getting together for an epic battle in a hallway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I totally agree with you on the 8 episodes thing. I love these Netflix series, but every single season feels slightly too long. They could have easily cut one or two episodes from both Daredevil seasons, and like 3 or 4 episodes from Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. I am only 2 episodes into Iron Fist, so I can't really comment on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that doesn't excuse the fact that the cosmic-y and extra-dimensional fun that the title represented is being discredited in place for what is essentially Marvel Knights minus Moon Knight. For now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 According to Wikipedia, Iron Fist was an occasional member too, but he only really stayed around for the Heroic Age team. I definitely agree with you, though, especially since we're getting a movie with Hulk, Valkyrie, and allegedly Doctor Strange. Even Thor would work as a substitute for Namor/Silver Surfer in an MCU Defenders team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Iron Fist was in Fraction's Defenders team, which retconned itself from existence with the final issue, so technically... Edited May 3, 2017 by Kostisfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Strange isn't supposed to be meeting up with Hulk or Valkyrie and Valkyrie isn't even really Valkyrie from what I can gather. She isn't the majestic Norse who has been one of my top 3 comic book crushes for years (Did I just say that out loud ). I wouldn't mind Thor being a substitute for another member, however if the rumors of Namor's appearance later are true, we'd id say an actual Defenders movie wouldn't be far behind. 5 minutes ago, Kostisfire said: Iron Fist was in Fraction's Defenders team, which retconned itself from existence with the final issue, so technically...

Turtle Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It's kind of annoying that they're stealing the name, but on the other hand, it works for this team. They're gonna do some defending after all. It's great to see another hallway fight. Some people might think it's becoming a cliche for Marvel Netflix, but I actually like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 From what I gather, Valkyrie isn't "the" Valkyrie from the comics, but fought with her in a whole group of Valkyries (though the trailer might insinuate that the rest were killed by Hela, and the one we're left with is the last survivor).

It seems like many limited series are running 10 episode seasons, like Expanse s1, Orphan Black, Game of Thrones etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I was watching Luke Cage, and I thought it had ended, and I was like "that was the greatest way to end this season!"...and then realized there were still 3 episodes left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Same here. I thought Luke Cage had ended twice; once after episode six and again after episode twelve. It's as if they're being written by comic book writers used to plotting six-issue arcs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicidewatch Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 They're gonna need some extra large hallways to accommodate 4 people fighting at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylek Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 6 episodes in and I'm really enjoying it so far. I think the shorter season really solves the pacing issues the 13 episode seasons suffered from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Spider Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It was so great. It's a damn shame we won't be getting the five fingers mates. I don't think that's a spoiler but oh well. I actually wish there had been more lead up. Them meeting each other was organic but it coulda been explored a bit more and I wish we coulda at least seen Alexandra fight but the show was pretty perfect.

stack32 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I finished the series last night. While I didn't have as many problems with the pacing of the other series (besides Jessica Jones) as some people I'd agree that this is very good on that point. There are some episodes where they kind of take a breath but it doesn't feel like stretching things out. The characters were true to what we've already seen and I liked the way they played off each other, Danny especially. I liked the overall plot though I think some of the details about the Hand and their plan feel a bit like a retcon, as in I'm sure what we saw onscreen isn't what they were thinking of in season one of Daredevil, assuming they had any real plans at all. The action is good even if it doesn't quite match the best of Daredevil. I guess I understand DST skipping minimates for the show but it's a shame to miss out on so many villains.
