I hope Marvel considers reducing the number of episodes of their series from 13 to 10 or 11.
Most people agree one of the gripes of these series is that after a certain point they begin to drag… changing the episode number they could fix that easily.
I was wrong about my prediction that Scott Buck would drop an absolute turd on us. But this still isn’t gold by any stretch of the imagination. Like someone said before, it’s the exact definition of “aight”.
To those saying “this isn’t Danny Rand” or similar, what is it about Danny that was off with this series? Google only seems to rattle off the facts about him; nothing much about his character.
Defenders will be 8 episodes.
Danny is naive but not that that extent, Danny isn’t brooding either, he is a smartass always making wise cracks, think class clown. He does have a big heart though and goes out of his way to help people. He also loves to fight.
Yeah. I guess because of the salary for the whole cast.
I hope they consider shorter seasons for the other shows too.
Buck is also in charge of Inhumans. Hope his style fits that show better…
Wait, wait, WAIT. Defenders is just 8 episodes? What the hell, man? That’s the ONE series I would expect to have a longer season, because you have 4 heroes teaming up. You’d spend at least an episode or two just detailing how they all got together. It should at least be 10. This is starting to confuse me. What inspired them to do this?
And yeah, @“jae hoon” I would have MUCH preferred the Danny Rand you describe. This dude we got was like the parsley you have on the side of your steak at a restaurant.
I guess it’s because it’s gonna be more plot-driven, more action, a big mission or something. Character development would be left for the individual series, this one needs more flashiness.
4 episodes in… I’m still not feeling it. It has moments, but before it gains any momentum, we’re stuck back in a corporate soap opera.
They should have dropped some dough on Sammo Hung to direct the action. Shit is weak. The shots are all over the place.
The supporting cast of the individual shows will be appearing on Defenders. Lots of character juggling for just 8 episodes.
I felt that way during the show. Finn didn’t appear to be doing a bad acting the job, the character just had nothing that got me to support. Kind of reminded me of the problem I have with Cavill’s Superman. Good actor, bad character
“growing out of” what does this even mean in this case lol. Just be honest and say the fighting was shit instead of resorting to this nonsense lol, fuck outta here.
edit: unless it means you have grown out of trash ass power rangers/samurai jack/airbender wannabe weeb shows made by white folks. Then by all means 
I am liking the show so far, it’s an okay show for time killing. Is his fist supposed to play a big part in his story? Ya know, like DD’s blindness, Iron Man’s suit.
Just started watching. Lol at the SFV intro
His name is Iron Fist, bruh lol
It’s a power that’s passed down, so it isn’t unique to him. It’s a relationship kinda like Thor(or I guess Odinson) and Mjolnir. So, yea, it’s a big part of him.
Watched it. Thought it was ok. Won’t watch it twice like I’ve watched all the other Netflix MCU series.
[spoiler=]+ I thought the fights were alright.
I think one of my big problems was that I wasn’t expecting THIS Danny Rand/Iron Fist. I was expecting a different one and the one I got I’m not really a fan of. I’m kinda hoping I get to see the IF I like later but I’m not sure this will go another season.
And we REALLY shouldv gotten to see Kunlun. That’s kinda egregious to me. It’s too important. We’re never really shown who Danny was when he was in Kunlun and why he came back to this dimension or the type of person he became in Kunlun and why (or if) his personality is a deviation from it.[/spoiler]
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
Needs more worthwhile flashbacks.
no the fights arent shit…their just weird. his style doesnt make sense in the world they built for the defenders. if every show had dudes on wires then it would make more sense.
but for example jackson spidell is the stuntman for dd…also caps stuntman. he does acrobatics, and comes from a sport karate background. he can do all the flips without wires and did so in dd.
now david armstrong is dannys stuntman. for w/e reason they chose to use wires to give off that wuxia style. because of the world they built its so out of place. and david can do all those tricks without wires…so its not like they needed it.
growing out also means we arent feeling wuxia style. i dont think i could sit through crouching tiger again, especially knowing as a style of cinema china has evolved into a good mix of hardstyle and soft style with donnie yen and sammo. you got the ip man approach and you got the spl approach.
Danny ain’t about that wuxia anyway.
very true. which is most likely the showrunners fault and less the stunt teams. i know alot of the guys who worked on this show for stunts and they’ve been doing almost all the marvel tv shows some also work the marvel movies. so its not like its a new squad of people.
