The
Defenders 2/10
You
can't play a Punisher trailer after the wet turd that was The
Defenders and expect me to be excited. I just finished forcing
myself, yes forcing myself, to finish this first and hopefully last
season of The Defenders on Netflix. I don't even know where to start
because I have a whole bag of bitching and my gloves are too big to
pull them out. Let me start off with what I did like about the show
though first. The stuff with Luke Cage was cool. Pre-Defenders stuff.
The music was good, the action, the stories. It felt like I was
watching a second season of his show which made me happy 'cause I
loved the first one so much I proposed to it but it rejected me
because I don't have stable employment. Cage, Claire, and Misty
Knight are good. But then they decided to go with this wack ass
screen wipe to show they were gonna head to another character. Like
goddamn Iron Fist.
Ugh.
Really don't like the actor playing him. There has been zero growth
since his terrible first season. No one told him to stop talking like
he was reading fucking fortune cookies every time he opened his
mouth. No one believes what he says and its not because of what he is
saying, its because of the way he says it. “I...became the..Iron
Fist...by...defeating...” Oh, shut your shit! This guy is so
annoying to listen to and even worse to watch. Just like in his own
season he gets his ass kicked all the time by everyone. I am starting
to believe that he never really beat a dragon or maybe the dragon
just sucked and was easy to defeat.
I'm
not done. This entire season revolved around Iron Fist's bullshit so
automatically things get dragged down with him. The Hand, those
damned ninjas, need him to open a door so they can get some magical
juice so that the Five Fingers of the Hand can keep living forever or
being brought back to life. Elektra is there and she is not as
annoying at first because she doesn't talk much at the beginning of
the season. Every fight Iron Fist gets in he loses. Even when he hits
someone with his glow stick they get up pretty quickly. It doesn't
end fights and just like before it doesn't always work when he wants
or needs it to. He's too tired, nervous, drugged, or his chi isn't
centered. He needs a new gimmick.
Daredevil is fine until he gets too into the Elektra stuff. I like how he
struggled with not being Daredevil anymore and would have preferred
it be a plot point for season three instead of shoehorned into this
season. He should also be the new Iron Fist seeing as how he kicked
his ass repeatedly. The Matt Murdock stuff was good as well as seeing
Foggy and Karen show up and wanting him to stop fighting crime and
getting his ass attacked nightly. Liked their stuff. Not enough of
it. Jessica Jones was okay. Not really sure how she fit into the team
and she felt kind of lost in the shuffle. Cage was the muscles and
did cop/detective shit. Daredevil was the martial arts master and
law. Jones was there to complain and lift heavy shit sometimes and
get drunk and mope. Which means Iron Fist was worthless.
I have
this a 2 instead of a 1 just because of the few things I enjoyed
about this season and Rosario Dawson as Claire. I am not hoping for a
second season of this or Iron Fist. This actually made me not excited
about any of these shows returning which I doubt was their goal.
There are way too many series out there to think you can get away
with making some dull ass shit like this.
