Can someone remind me why Kilgrave had Jessica kill Reva?

She was sniffing around Kilgrave's past I think, trying to tie it into the experiment that gave Luke his powers.

The poster who brought up Power Rangers costuming was dead-on...

If you're going to make a comic book show you have to go all-in and respect your audience. I kind of thought the MCU understood that by now.

These are contradictory statements. The only way Diamondback's costuming could be more comic book was if it was in brighter colors.

I thought it was because the Judas bullet also exploded and fragmented, not just penetrated his skin. I figured the mass produced ones wouldn't explode, so they'd be like normal bullets to Luke - able to break his skin, but would do less overall damage. The cops never even shot at Luke with the new ones, so we don't know if they'd even work.

I am pretty sure they did once, like right before the cop who got his hair cut at Pop's let Luke go. They shot at him, missed, and a chunk of wall exploded.

I thought they did a good job with how they handled Inspector Pricilla. She's introduced as this real officious, cliche internal affairs type, but by the end you realize she's a good cop trying to do right by the people, and isn't looking out to protect the department first.

I think it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that Turk is going to stumble across the four Defenders and then just nope the gently caress out.

What will be weird about Defenders is seeing Matt in the daredevil costume alongside all these superheroes who just wear what they rolled out of bed wearing.

I think part of Guy's complaint (and mine too) is that we're told that Diamondback is this guy above Cottonmouth who is his secretive, discrete supplier and that the mere mention of Shade's employer is enough to make Cottonmouth nervous, and that Shades is really only there as a go-between between Diamondback and Cottonmouth. But when Diamondback finally does appear, he clearly has lost his grip on reality outdoing even Cottonmouth's most cartoonish moments.

At least it'll be harder to break up couples like Reed and Sue Richards or Luke Cage and Jessica Jones since they have kids, and those would be more awkward to write out or break up.

I'll never understand the serious criticism of dumb superhero shows so many posters engage in round these parts. I guess I just like liking things.

I think the success of DD S1 is that they had one showrunner that had a consistent vision. For whatever reason, there seems to be two or three plot lines that run throughout DD Season 2 and they barely interact with each other until the very end.

The first season of Daredevil had multiple showrunners. First was Drew Goddard, who left early on to direct the never made Sinister Six movie, then Steven DeKnight came on board as his replacement.

And the second season of Daredevil had multiple plot lines as a response to the criticism of the first season, and Jessica Jones, of trying to stretch out a single plot over 13 episodes.

Uhhh, with the caveat that FRINGE is actually good, though.

...people trying to compare AoS to Fringe for gently caress's sake... :rolleyes:

Yeah I like AoS a bunch, but the cast of Fringe acted rings around it. Everybody except for Pacey played at least three different versions of their characters. It was also a decidedly weirder show right out of the gate. In the pilot they tap into a comatose guy's memories with the help of home brewed LSD. Fringe was awesome.

Which is all ignoring that nobody involved in the show has any goddamn idea how companies work. Theoretically 51% owner Danny Rand could do all that since he can virtually run the company like a dictator, if we disregard the timeline. However the show believes that 51% owner Danny Rand can be power played by his board of directors and the 40%+ owning Meachum siblings can also be played while Danny is in control of his shares and not helping out with the play. Danny, Ward, and Joy should individually be able to tell the board to go gently caress themselves. They sure as poo poo can't be kicked out of the building and offered take it or leave it severance packages that totally removes them from the company.

I'm not entirely sure Ward & Joy controlled any stock in the company. At one point it gets mentioned that Harold left them hardly anything in the will, obviously because a) he wasn't dead and b) it was how he could control Ward.

What the gently caress was Joy even doing. Why does she want Danny to die now, after meeting a random man.

This show makes no SENSE.

Joy had a pretty decent bead on her life until Danny shows up and then it's a never ending siege of weird, hosed up poo poo. Like her dad comes back from the dead, then he dies again, and ninjas shot her, and life was so much easier with her cabinet full of m&ms and a brother with a low grade addiction problem. So obviously Danny's got to die.

Except The Americans repeats itself immediately after every new episode, so you can watch a new episode of AoS and follow it up with a new episode of The Americans and not miss a dang thing. :eng101:

Honestly, I'd be fine with just hours of all four eating Chinese food and baggin' on Danny. Glad Stick/Scott Glenn will be back too (and also baggin' on Danny) because I think it's now scientific fact that Scott Glenn makes everything better. I'm a little wary of resurrected Elektra, but we'll see. Also, someone above said she might be an antagonist, but in that hallway fight scene it looks like she's with The Defenders.

Looked to me like she was stalking them in the hallway fight, and at one point kicks Matt through a door.

Considering who kicked off the Netflix Marvel series and the identity of one of the main apparent antagonists it's is kind of surprising that Daredevil is apparently not the team anchor. He also seems like the most natural connective character after Claire to reasonably bring them all together.

It's because Matt has retired. But other than that, you're right, more roads lead through Matt than Danny.

I know Jones has talked about having fifteen minutes to learn choreography, but what caused the mess in the first place?

Keep in mind that's not necessarily sign of dysfunction, it's apparently how most tv shows handle fight choreography. When you only have a week to film an entire hour of television you can't have your star spending days rehearsing one scene.

Now you could argue that since IF is a Netflix show they didn't have to shoot it like NCIS, but :shrug:
