Just finished it, I expected it to be lot worse after reading some comments, but it was ok. It definitely got worse when they killed Cottonmouth, he was just getting good. Mariah wasn't very good at being a main villain, she was a good "villain that can screw you inside the law". Willis... my god that character was terrible, and to see him with that lame doctor was so corny, he will probably get real super powers now.
Shades though, what a lovely surprise. Thought the dude was shit in the beginning, then he started showing up his chessmaster skills. For one second (before they actually showed DB) I wanted him to have assumed Diamondback's business without anyone knowing. After they revealed who was Diamondback I started to wish that he was some kind of martial artist pro, to link this season to Iron Fist, but that ended up being false. All the time I was expecting he to be some kind of mastermind for something greater (magic, ninjas, martial artists, anything), but that moment never came.
The actual ending was meh compared to DD or JJ, it looked like part of something instead of standalone. I understand why they did that but I still find it bad.
There is a lot more that I want to say but right now I need to sleep, spent my whole night and now morning watching this.

Looking forward to the finale of Iron Fist.
Claire: "I am Iron Fist". You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr Rand, you've become part of a bigger universe...you just don't know it yet.
Danny: Who the hell are you?
Claire: Claire Temple. Ex-nurse.
Danny: Ah.
Claire: I'm here to talk to you about The Defenders initiative

Just finished it. Overall it was good, disappointed with what happened to Cottonmouth though.

I really liked the series overall, but I can't believe they looked at that $35 costume for Diamondback at the end and said "yeah, this is what we're going with for the grand finale."

I think Romeo was Zip's father or somebody who was a big name back in the day. Show is all about family legacies and whatnot.
Liked him in the beginning, went worse over the time

In favor of setting Muslim women on fire
Things went south post Cottonmouth, pick up again around mid eps 11 and episode 12
but the end was too cliffhangery

The reveal was cool. Had an almost Winter Soldier vibe
But then the show went all Spectre, and he become a shitty character

Shades.
SHADES.
Most of his scenes in the back half were fucking gold.
Zip showing up with those goddamn glasses was maybe my favorite moment of the season.

Shit, that's what it reminded me of! Couldn't put my finger on it.
The show had 12 hours to set up a rivalry between the two characters and did almost nothing. I felt like I maybe missed something during that final fight when it flashed back to them training with each other.

I am only watched the first 5 episodes so far, and i have to say, if nothing else the music in the club are sublime, especially long live the chief (is that the name of that song?).

Is it going to be a running joke in these shows that the hero needs a lawyer and Matt fucking Murdock doesn't show up

1) A completely unnecessary familial relationship to the hero
2) Hates the hero because of daddy issues
3) Defeated in a whimper of a confrontation
I'm sure he would come if he was actually called.

This show felt a little too low budget to me. I don't know. Everything looked so cheap and I felt seeing the same location over and over again was kinda boring.
The fighting choreography could do a lot better, imo.
Overall, it was okay. 3/5
Stop fucking teasing stuff man, it got really annoying.

Just finished the episode; seems like that's what's happening!
Opening Defenders episode: The Trial of Carl Lucas?
Good way to tie Daredevil into the plot having him do lawyer things.

When Danny buys her coffee after a long day in self-defense class, clearly.
His deranged, unfocused ranting during the Frank Castle trial was genuinely embarassing.

in that scene where i tried to strangle him i was surprised to see him get out, by the way of how so many characters never make it out of that shit.

Unstandably though
Zip is a jobber. Mama Temple would've done better.

The gun with the Judas bullets jammed, and the suit has a super inefficiently short battery life
Hammer tech still sucks

...holy shit.
Like it should <3
I just find it strange that the brand name still exists after the Stark Expo disaster
Hammer tech is AFAIK about economies and scale and mass production rather than top-tier performance.

To be fair, they were all prototypes and they actually did something, unlike the Ex-Wife missile from IM2.

I slept on my thoughts of the show and just remembered something.
Why did Claire only pull out the shrapnel from the second Judas bullet Luke ate and not the first too? Did they just conveniently move from his belly to his upper torso? Shit don't make sense.
Also, Cottonmouth was better off dying halfway in. He was a compelling character and was wonderfully acted. He didn't need to stumble his way though another 6 or 7 episodes.
