Luke Cage was meh.
Iron Fist was awful.
Defenders was crap.


They need to get The Whedons onboard and actually come up with some decent stories.

Wow just saw the trailer for The Punisher and holy shit that looks awesome. He was the best thing about season 2 of Daredevil.

That prison scene was amazing.

I really liked how they portrayed him in Daredevil. It hits all of the right revenge buttons. It's like they put all of the magic from DD season 1 & funneled it into his character in DD season 2.

Ok - so I've completed all the Netflix/Marvel shows, and I've had some time to mull over how much I actually enjoyed them. My conclusion is that DD1 was awesome, DD2 was really good, and all the rest were a waste of time. My other conclusion is that I feel super oversaturated with Marvel and don't care if I ever see any of their other movies/shows/whatever.

I've only seen DD1 and DD2 and loved DD1 but thought DD2 sucked for the most part, other than the Punisher being in it.

I agree that Marvel (and comic stuff in general) is way over saturated at this point.

agreed. I feel like DD will be as good as these Marvel joints can get, which isn't saying that much (the action is actually really quite good, and in some episodes, the writing is good, too). But after the Punisher/DD, it goes downhill, fast.

I liked Luke Cage for the most part but like all of the other series, it's just way too long for what it is.

I'm reposting this one:

Clarence: Oh there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin superheroes , a white man got to pull Matt Murdock out their ass. That's their one, that's their one. Matt Murdock. Matt Murdock. Let me tell you something once and for all. Matt Murdock was good, but compared to T'Challa , Matt Murdock ain't shit.
Sweets: I suppose nobody in here ever heard of Carl Lucas?

Morris: He got a point. Carl Lucas was a bad motherfucker!

Clarence: I ain't saying Carl ain't bad. I'm just saying I stopped liking Carl Lucas once he changed his name to Luke Cage! What kinda shit is that?

Saul: Wait a second, wait a second! A man has got the right to change his name to whatever he wants to change it to. And if a man wants to be called Luke Cage, Goddamit, this is a free country, you should respect his wishes, and call the man Luke Cage!

Morris: His Momma named him Carl, I'm gonna call him Carl.

Clarence: Mmm-hmm! That's right!

glorification of bullet-fueled ultra violence?

Yup, timing would have been offensive, socially.

Same thing happened to Spider-man...they had this really cool shot where Spidey traps the bad guys' escape helicopter in a web between the Twin Towers...then September 11th happened.

no offense but doesn't that happen all the damn time in the US? it doesn't seem to bother the country enough to change anything to prevent it

It does but they can't release it when it was fresh in people's minds. Gotta wait 2 weeks for all of us to forget and for Trump to go on another Twitter rant.

Trailer for Luke Cage S2 is up on Netflix, due out Friday. Looks 1000x better than the first season!

Still mad they killed Cottonmouth. Such a good villain.

A few episodes in, knocking them out one by one with morning cardio, haha. Still a bit slower-paced, but they have consistent pacing with continuous storytelling, so it's easier to binge on.

That first fight sequence with the Bushmaster (where he gets shot) was better-choreographed than the entire first season of IF.

Watched S1 of DD. Not bad. Still haven't watched S2.

I watched S1 of Luke Cage, it was OK, but it wasn't great.

I watched IF1, thought it pretty much sucked all the way through. I mean...the kid has this super-punch power...yet he's a whiny pussy?

As much as I wanted to dislike The Punisher, (I'm just never been a Bernthal fan, but this did change my opinion somewhat) it was pretty damned good. Possibly the best of the Netflix Marvel shows so far. (I liked the first Punisher movie with Thomas Jane, even if he really wasn't "bad" enough for the part...he still did it justice. Hated the second movie with Jigsaw.) Looking forward to S2.

Couldn't get into Jessica Jones or The Defenders.
