Anyone Watching Marvel's The Defenders on Netflix?

[GwenStaceyRocks]

I started watching it when it was released and had to pace myself not to watch it all in one day. I loved the Jessica Jones series but haven't watched the others.
Iron Fist is irritating me but I'm liking DareDevil.
Is anyone else watching?

No Days. He is the butt of sarcastic asides & eye-rolling by the other defenders - and tied up for enough of the time to not spoil things.

Days he is annoying (I didn't watch the IF series so I don't know how it compares) but luckily the other characters treat him as though he's an annoying spoilt rich kid.
It's an interesting dynamic because Luke and Jessica were firmly grounded in realism but IF and DareDevil are a bit more mystical. The Defenders lets Luke and Jess be suitably cynical about all the hocus pocus stuff. And their awesomeness manages to balance IF's rubbishness imo.
I found Colleen irritating too but I see lots of fan sites giving her a great write-up. Did everyone else love her?

I liked that Colleen started out as her own woman and kicks ass fearlessly. Less so that she now trails round after IF like a soppy girlfriend.

Anyone else find Charlie Cox strangely unattractive? He ought to be hot in this, but he's not. It is impairing my enjoyment of the defenders.

I think that to get the full value from Defenders, you need to watch all the others first. You need the backstories.
Agree that IF is a total pita - he is dumb as fuck but annoyance is diluted by having the others there.
I really do not like Clare. I'm not even sure why - I just find her very annoying.

Just watched ep 7 - loved Jessica Jones helping herself to the passed out drunk's tinnies.

Anyone else feel like Daredevil's suit looks a bit... homemade? DH and I think he wouldn't look out of place at a regional Comicon.

His superhero suit, I mean. Not his jobbing lawyer one.

Agree that IF is a total pita - he is dumb as fuck but annoyance is diluted by having the others there.

I think he plays the naive IF well, remember hes spent his life growing up in a monastery in Kun Lu'un so he's not any where near as cynical as the other 3

He's the equivalent of the village idiot at court. He's useless when his fist fizzles out too.

But the silly sod walked into a board meeting of the hand, with no plan and no back up. There's naive and then there's plain stupid!

As superpowers go, a glowy fist is a bit of a naff one!

I'm trying to watch Daredevil season 1 off the back of The Defenders. Now I remember why I didn't get past ep 3 last time. The violence is really hard going. I am properly watching through my fingers, feeling squeamish and flinching. And the fights are interminable. It's a shame because the dialogue in between is well-written and the relationships between Matt, Foggy and Karen are interesting enough to hold my attention. Does it get any better?
