On episode 5 and I like this show way more than JJ. I might put it above DD season 1 as well. Good shit.

 

[BlackGhost]

Damn that episode 2 open

 

[Mengetsu]

No, I agree.

Spoiler

Shades is probably one of the smartest villains we've gotten thus far just in terms of his composure and his level of manipulation. I love how they lampshade this when he questions some of the insane 'plans' that Cottonmouth or Diamondback attempt to enact. So far they haven't explored a lot of his emotional depth so that's me thinking that they're saving that for a season 2.

Couldn't of said it better.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Finished episode 6. Not many exciting action scenes so far but I guess he's way too OP. The main bad guy Stokes is pretty great.

 

[sfedai0]

Just finished Epi 1. Great intro to Lukes world. Is it me or does Cage seem chunkier thatn he was in Jessica Jones?

 

[Obliterator]

Shit thats awesome! Was this at a con?

Yeah it was. A lot of the times you meet these guys and gals and they are very polite / nice but just a quick picture and then they cycle to the next person. Mike actually sat there and talked with me and wife for a good bit and even took multiple pictures with us. He was honestly an awesome guy

Best part of episode one

 

[Evolved1]

First episode was pretty weak. Hopefully it gets better.

 

[Dai101]

Finally. Finished the series.

Hands down THE BEST MAHVEL SHOW EVER.

is an underrated character? Hands down my favorite in the show.

No, I agree.

Agree with you both.

 

[Rhaknar]

Finally my bae Rosario Dawson shows up

 

[TalonJH]

Two episodes in and I say this is the best written/directed Marvel TV show yet(and I loved the other shows). Episode 2 is amazing.


Also, is Shades the voice actor of Adam Jensen?

Can I jump into this without having watched jessica jones or daredevil?

Yes but youll miss some references

No he isn't.

For sure. There are some cool cameo's / references so far to those other series but its pretty stand alone.

I highly recommend watching the other 2 as well though

Love stories like that. It's always cool when people whose work you enjoy deserve the success they get

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Yeah, you might miss some small nods here or there but they explain everything. They all operate as their own thing.

I was kind of hoping that the guns

Spoiler

from Hammer would be used and jam up on whoever was trying to fire one of them.

Though I'm only a few eps in so perhaps that does come to pass.

 

[chaobreaker]

"Geeze this Cottonmouth dude is crazy. I wonder if he has a Fisk-esque childhood?"

*That flashback in episode

What the fuck, man? I had to take a breather for that shit.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Watched the first 4 episodes today. Really good so far.

Episode 2:

Spoiler

Really happy to see that Turk is still holding the eternal L of the MCU.

Episode 4:

Spoiler

"You look like a damn fool." I NEED to see Cage rock that retro costume again!

 

[OdysseusVA]

On episode 6
This show suffers from a similar issue JJ had. The bad guy should have been dealt with already, but they're dragging on for fluff.

 

[Beefy]

Way too much music in it. Also can now see what some of reviews meant by good character but average story.

 

[TalonJH]

No he isn't.

Thanks, he sounds a lot like him at times.

 

[Rhaknar]

Fucking lol at Luke slapping some fool across the forehead like he's swatting a fly

 

[jack_package_200]

Watched episode 2

Spoiler

Pops no

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Just finished EP 6.

Spoiler

I like the plot but misty and pops are about the only characters that are interesting. Luke's performance is so wooden and stoic. He reminds me of Vin Diesel. He really needs to rely on the side characters and action to carry the show. Cottonmouth is a pretty good villain but he's definitely not anywhere near the performance of D'Onofrio or Tennant. Unlike them, he also makes so many stupid decisions I feel like he should be a side character in Jessica Jones.

Shades is growing on me. He's an intelligent henchman, which is something you don't see a lot, and has a swagger to him that gives him a sinister vibe. Hell probably end up being my favourite villain by the end.

 

[Rhaknar]

Shades is the best

I wasn't sure how I felt about Diamond Back because his super power was exactly like

Actually I love the depth to his character but he's still undercooked compared to a lot of other characters especially for the screen time given.

Harddrives have those shields for a reason but back in highschool I've had friends who messed with hard drives with magnets, dry ice and dust and there was a lot of readable information.

They are more usable than you give them credit for. Perfectly useable? No but in that scene we weren't going to see data corruption in 2 seconds of footage.

Comic book shows have to be realistic tho. Can't go suspending disbelief now. What you think this is a cartoon adaptation of a comic? This a real life show.

Sarcasm obviously.

Stopped at episode 2 and so far so good. I like the humor in this.

There have been WHIH microphones present during any scene where there are a bunch of reporters.

Somebody get the guy playing Cage some acting lessons lol. He has no charisma and does a horrible job delivering some of the more impactful lines. He's lucky he looks exactly like Cage in the books.

Only watched the first episode, aside from JJ, mind you. So im not sure if he gets any better, but the way he tries to be hard is laughable.

 

[Rhaknar]

Ali's laugh is amazing

I love the thread title. Gonna start watching in a moment, will probably finish it over the weekend or some time next week.

I think he's pretty good. Don't see where the no charisma is coming from.
