    I finished it also, i enjoyed it, but you have to really mess up for me not to find some enjoyment out of a marvel movie/series. I did feel it was lacking in some places. Especially the fight choreography, they could have done so much more with him, i dont understand why they didnt have the fight scenes on par or better than daredevils :confused:

    Well there's a spoiler above so in Ben gadot post about whether a character does or does not show up.



    It's all a bit meh. It's an ok show nothing great. Daredevil season 1 and Jessica Jones have been the best Netflix marvel.
    Luke Cage was solid but really had problems with the plot not always going forward. And it needed more cottonmouth.
    Daredevil season 2 was grand with the punisher but the hand stuff was a weak turn.
    Ironfist wasn't as good as season 1 of Arrow.

    Just started today and without realising was on episode 5 really enjoyable show. As for critics it's like they there to tell the masses there wrong. Law abiding citizen is 25% off reviewers on rotten tomatoes but 75% by viewers. best film oscars go to films like moonlight I'm sure it's a great film but films like avengers, star was that gross multiple times what they will. And even in 5 years when no one will be buying moonlight theses films will still prob make more on blu ray and digital copy's then moonlight did at the box office.

    I watched the first 2 episodes yesterday. I was expecting an absolute trainwreck but found them to be fairly enjoyable if a little light. It certainly wasn't a struggle to sit through them anyway.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    "Light" is a description I've used for the show a few times. A welcome change from the other shows, I thought!

    I'm not so sure. I find the films to be very light. I quite enjoy the darker tone of the Netflix series. Then again, part of experimenting with the franchise is that some negative results will be obtained.

    "You what???!!!"

    I gave up on Iron Fist but that trailer gave me hope that they may use his stupidity well, so I might try to finish it.

    I particularly loved his interaction with Jessica Jones. I think playing his righteousness and naivety off against JJ's sarcasm and cynicism could work brilliantly.

    I gave up after the first few mins: Hey guys, it's me, your old buddy. Lets go get sandwiches. What? You don't remember me?

    Iron Fist is definitely one of those characters who'll work so much better with other hero's as proved in even this little snippet of the Defenders I enjoyed his series but didn't enjoy him more the characters around him

    Agreed. I'm hoping Luke Cage will give him guidance and he'll come out of The Defenders as a much stronger, more world-wise character and that will lead on to a stronger arc for Iron Fist season 2.

    I had a little hopeful theory that a big reason Jones might have been cast as Rand is that they tested him with Colter. From the brief moments in that trailer I'm not discouraged.

    Colter said in an interview for Luke Cage that he hadn't​ even met him yet and Iron Fist had started filming at this stage.
