Marvel's Netflix Universe: Return of the Kingpin

My biggest peeves of IF season 1 was the plodding story and the fact that K’un L’un was left to just mere snippets instead of getting fleshed out over the course of the season.

When Matt Fraction was writing the Immortal Iron Fist, there was a good balance of fighting, character development and exposition which I think could be a great resource if they would be looking into improving IF S2

I finished Daredevil season 2, it was cool. Felt kinda weird though, like the first half was the whole Punisher shit which was cool. Then Elektra and the hand come outta nowhere, and the last 2-3 eps, while entertaining for the action, just seemed a little hurried. I feel they could’ve explained what the hand was earlier in the season so the end game could be reached without rushing. But still a fun watch. I’m actually excited for Punisher’s show

David Tennant is back in Jessica Jones season 2:

Defenders 3rd trailer…

Gates opening before noon I suppose?

Holy crap, I hope their servers hold up this time unlike when Luke Cage dropped. So hype for this, bring on the weekend already!

I forgot this was premiering. Catching episode 1 before work then the binging shall commence.

Spoiler

Liking the tone of Episode 1 and how each character’s intro has the same tone of their shows. Problem is this only makes Iron Fist look that much worse

What problems were there? I shotgunned Luke Cage the first day with no problems.

HYPE LIMITER BROKEN!!!

So damn glad that I managed to get off work an 2 hours early today!!

So Punisher showing up to get Elektra was some silly shit. Other than that, I really liked this show. Susan Saranden can do no wrong.

Sigourney Weaver.

Some people can’t bring themselves not to enter a thread until they watch the latest.

So because of their weakness they want the rest of the posters to shut the fuck up. It’s ridiculous.

As in all show threads, if the show is aired then it’s fair game to talk about it. You have the choice NOT to enter the thread. The only exception is if something leaks early (GoT, OITNB) then you can’t really discuss it until it airs for everyone.

I don’t understand why people don’t get how this works still.

Thanks. I always get the two confused.

tip:
Susan Sarandon=tits

Sigourney Weaver=alien

Show is all about character interactions, but the story is pretty bad.

I saw the whole show. It has a quicker pace than the other netflix shows. Having 8 episodes to work with speeding things up were a given. The character interaction is easily the best part of the show. I want to see Jessica and Matt together more. Those two work great together. Overall, the show was underwhelming. The Hand’s master plan and hero’s plan to stop it don’t click with me. It didn’t feel that was worth 3 years worth of build up.

I’m on EP7. This shit is so good.

Do I need to watch iron fist to get defenders? I’ve watched everything else but IF. I just looked so fucking boring and heard as much too.

I’m about six episodes into Iron Fist. It’s not nearly as good as the others, but definitely not unwatchable and I’m enjoying it enough see it through. I’m going to finish it before Defenders just to build the context. Claire is in it and I want to see how that plays into the over arching story since she’s been a constant character throughout all the series. My opinion is to watch Iron Fist first, but I am probably in the minority here.

Yes. Defenders picks up where each of the shows left off. Defenders made Danny the single most important character in it’s plot. Character’s mythology is also heavily tied to what’s going on. It made Iron Fist unavoidable.

Hard pass
