At least you can talk. Who are you?
Turk gonna get caught by all four of them after they've defeated the big bad in the last ep.

To me he's more of a, "Ohh, this fucker again" "When's he gonna catch a bullet?" Human trafficking is one of my biggest hatreds so I'll never be like "lol silly Turk". Fuck that guy.
Agree with this. The Turk love baffles me. Never really found that character charming.

Probably my single most hated thing in the entire MCU. Why did they have to kill him smh.
Because the writers are all about Karen all the time and felt that she needed to get an unearned promotion in life.

It's because of the many L's he takes, and still is somehow on the streets.

OMG SPOILERS SHE IS GONNA SURVIVE IRON FIST!
That was oddly fun to type for some reason.

Series regular makes me think she's the main antagonist
The main antagonist is Sigourney Weaver though.

This also confirms that the Hand will be the main antagonists. Not exactly surprising given Stick's role and that Iron Fist will add a K'un-Lun/Hand connection that doesn't exist in the comics, AFAIK, but hey.
Also, with DD S2's showrunners returning, this makes me suspect that they just moved some Hand/Black Sky story beats originally planned for DD over to Defenders. Would explain why that plot seemed to be going somewhere and then abruptly fizzled out in the final couple episodes.

actually its a good thing so DD S3 can focus on Kingpin and Bullseye
BronsonLee
I'm inclined to agree, but really, the audience crossover between Daredevil and Defenders will be huge. They're going to market it like crazy. It having Daredevil in it will be a big part of that marketing too.
Doesn't he play all the characters?
Oh fuck sake not those useless shites again.

Its gonna be interesting seeing what Elektra will be like, she already was a bloodthirsty stone cold killer, and that's before the fucked up shit that's happened to her. She is really dangerous, maybe not to Luke due to him being so damn invulnerable to damage but Jessica. Matt, and Iron Fist would certainly have to be careful in a fight with her

Personally, I was fine with where the Hand/Chaste stuff seemed to be going in S2... up until the last couple episodes, in which the writers decided to introduce out-of-nowhere, seemingly contradictory revelations (is a Black Sky a rare but recurrent type of mystical WMD or a singular Evil Chosen One?) and end without anything being resolved at all (what the hole was for, who the kids were if they're not actually Black Skies, what a Black Sky is, etc).
I'm okay with this.

More than likely this is the story line threads we are going to be dealing with in Defenders. That's probably why they were so vague with DDS2 because they knew it would be the backbone for Defenders

As I said above, my theory is that Petrie and Ramirez had originally planned to answer at least some of those questions in DD S2, that they got the Defenders gig midway through writing/plotting the season, and that they decided to just withhold those plot points for Defenders and (rather sloppily) stall for time until then.
I have no way of knowing if this is actually true, of course, but that's at least what it felt like.

I dunno, ending DDS2 with Elektra in a rice cooker was kinda dope.
Defenders is gonna start with Stick sacrificing himself by using the Mafuba on her and failing.

That or DD S2 was going to be about The Punisher more until they were asked to throw a bunch of shit in to set up The Defenders, because DD S2 sure is two different seasons jammed together. Awesome Punisher stuff and God awful ninja nonsense.
DD S2 ended in such a way that made me question whether they actually want to do a DD S3.
It bugs me that in both seasons of DD, there's are a couple of really good fight scenes, but then the "finale" fight always look very amateur. I don't know why they don't get their best action director for the final episode.

Not sure if this was posted but...
Looks like Luke Cage was the fifth most watched original Netflix series. Daredevil is third, JJ is eighth.
Not sure what their methodology is and it's only for premiere day + first 5 days but I guess this bodes well for future Netflix series.
