Good to get a new showrunners but a guy that oversaw Sleepy Hollow, Heroes Reborn, and Falling Skies is not super appealing.

Doesn't inspire confidence, but him being an IF and kung fu fan is good.

Elektra was horrid but that was also 12 years ago. People change and get better. Wasn't that also a Fox movie?

That's the only bright spot.

I'm like at least he didn't writer or helm a bad martial arts/action/kung-fu show.

If a fan edited the whole season cutting out all of rand's scenes, I would watch.

I hope LC and JJ share an awkard look in the defenders knowing they both smashed.

Defenders getting mixed reviews so far

Collider:There’s just not enough of it to start, and it takes too long for them to team-up. If you thought Defenders would be a culminating chapter to the other Netflix Marvel series so far, think again. So far it feels like another prelude, and it makes one wonder if we’ll ever get to the main event.

Empire:Alexandra feels like yet another businessperson baddie whose dirty deeds are hidden by sharp suits, while the ongoing, vague chicanery of The Hand (like HYDRA, but ninjas) fails to ignite much excitement. Indeed, the peerless Sigourney Weaver herself seems desperately bored by it all. Even so, there is enough joy in watching the sparks fly as these four alpha characters finally collide to make you feel The Defenders might just have been worth the wait. It’s a long-anticipated crossover series that delivers some engaging character clashes, but which fails — in the first half at least — to up the ante story-wise.

NewsRains:While the show starts as something of a slow burn, once the heroes come together, it more than lives up to the promise fans have been clamoring to see realized. It may not be the strongest Marvel Netflix series thus far (that would be a toss-up between Daredevil and Jessica Jones), but The Defenders splits the differences between its leads, creating something that even casual fans of these shows shouldn’t miss.

We Got This Covered:Although only half of the show’s eight episodes were available for review, the indistinct plot of The Defenders thus far seems like little more than a serviceable excuse to tie all four Marvel Netflix series together, as if the writers opted to revisit previously established plotlines rather than devise a bold new threat. Perhaps this aspect of the show evolves in its latter half into something more memorable, but as it stands, the characters and not the story of The Defenders are what truly make it worth watching.

I hate how they have these reviews when only half the episodes are released for review.

I just hope they finally utilize the Hand properly, no need to keep dragging Madame Gao season after season and tease her power one minute then make her weak the next and then disappear again. I really just want them to be over with the Hand and it's just annoying that it's becoming more and more corporate.

So Colleen Wing was making a fuss about her scheduling with filming that she almost missed out on being on GoT this season but it seems like they just needed her for less than a day anyway :rofl:
