Your favourite Netflix Marvel heroes are teaming up, this is going to be epic! - Me a few years ago...
However, after watching all 8 episodes in one day, I feel underwhelmed from every aspect of the show. Daredevil is still my favourite show from the Netflix Marvel universe and this does not compare to how much I enjoyed that show. I was expecting The Defenders to be just as good or even better than Daredevil but it is not.
1. The action scenes weren't as good, the edits were too chaotic and some of the fights felt too long for the sake of being too long.
2. The acting wasn't as good as Daredevil because there is such a big cast, there is obviously going to be some characters who are poorly acted. I didn't like Colleen Wing & Murakami.
3. Music was not very memorable. The theme was good, but in the final fight, the music used was really wrong (They used an upbeat soundtrack when they were almost certainly going to die if not for plot armour).
4. Finally, the plot was very vague. They kept saying New York would fall...like how? Unless the viewers or the characters know what exactly that means, it doesn't really present a sense of urgency.
Okay some parts that I liked: 1. The dinner scene was pretty enjoyable. Superhero banter almost never gets old.
2. Stick and his badassery.
3. Everyone's reaction to Dany saying hes the "IMMORTIAL IRON FIST" :DDD I think that's it. Disappointing show but worth a watch if you just like superhero assemblies.
