The Defenders

After three years, it has become increasingly apparent that Marvel Comics’ ambitious attempt to replicate the commercial triumph of its film universe by repeating the narrative and structural formula on Netflix’s small screens has ultimately failed to achieve similar success. Truth be told, Marvel and Netflix struck gold three times over—with *Daredevil*, *Jessica Jones*, and *Luke Cage*—series that impressed audien…

图片源自：[ 随着夜魔侠和金霸王分别在漫威电影《蜘蛛人·无家日》和电视剧《鹰眼》中露面，大家对曾经在网飞Netflix中独家上映的漫威街头英雄夜魔侠，杰茜卡·琼斯，卢克·凯奇，铁拳侠，以及惩罚者等系列加盟漫威宇宙不断地出现在影迷的对话中。 这几天，我的迪斯尼+注册的邮箱突然收到这几部Netflix拍摄的电视剧正式搬上迪斯尼的视频流平台应该确确实实地告诉我们，这些街头打架的漫威英雄们，已经升级，要和神奇博士，绿巨人，尚气等人开始打怪了。 既然免费，我又复习了一遍Netflix漫威电视剧《捍卫者联盟》。 《捍卫者联盟》其实可以说是缩水，简易，没钱版的电视形式《复仇者联盟》。和DC那边的绿箭侠电视剧世界中的穿越集很相似。 盲人律师夜魔侠，私人侦探杰茜卡·琼斯，刚刚出去的卢克·凯奇，和昆仑守护者铁拳侠四个人被卷入到和手和会的战斗中。四个人和复仇者联盟的大咖们开始时一样，各个都很葛色，谁都不含糊谁。在战斗中逐渐建立友情，携手保卫纽约市。…

This episode lived up to my none-expectations at this point. The only thing it did right is set-up the next seasons of the individual character. This made me think that we will have a Marvel phase 2 problem - when the individual shows will return, we will all wonder why are the defenders are not teaming up again to solve their problems. Now back to the episode, the last group fight made me cringe in a way that almos…

Just when I think this show is getting better, it falls into the trap of lazy writing. The episode started out great. There is a small time gap between the last episode and this one so there are a few things that audiences need to figure out. Our heroes are in trouble, the kind where they need to use their brains to figure their way out. However, they still manage to get out using their fists. The moral lessons were…

This should have been episode 2 of this series. It had almost everything I wanted from the show. Let’s start with the bad : Villains – Alexandra is just not working for me as a villain or as the leader of the hand. The role is just empty. We never see her do anything more worthy than the other leaders of the hand. Elektra – Her search for her place in the world feels cliché. The Hand – What is it that they do? I und…

The show finally shifts gears. Yes, at last we get more of everything. More action, actual answers and not just questions, reunions, and more of the supporting characters. Yet, somehow, all of this doesn’t feel enough. The answers and events are not exactly satisfying. Alexandra is not the villain I was hoping for. Madame Gao is cooler and better than her in every single way. The Hand doesn’t feel like a very impres…

Cuando éramos niños, generalizo porque se que nos ha pasado a todos, y veíamos una película de "kunfu" o "karate" o "hostias como panes " en general, salíamos de la sala imitando aquellos movimientos violentos hasta que por accidente o por descuido alcanzabamos a un compañero y empezaban los lloros, las broncas y los castigos... por aquel entonces no conocíamos el término "daños colaterales" que los militares introd…

Every superhero team in all of history has been missing one crucial thing: color coding. That ends today, as the lighting engineers of Marvel studios finally get their day in the sun with the release of their brand new Netflix miniseries: The Defenders . Unnecessary Spoiler Warning The Defenders is the sequel to ALL of the previous Marvel Netflix offerings. Naturally, even discussing the show, in even a vague way, w…

Alright I am slightly intrigued. This episode opens the mythos of the wars between the hand and the chased. We only get basic information and not in an interesting way. There is some mystery around the Iron Fist and how the Hand can use him, but honestly, I don't feel emotionally invested. Surprisingly, it's not Danny Rand's fault. I love Sigourney Viber, but we barely see her in this show. I know that we should fee…

Slow is the name of the game. Too slow apparently. I must admit I am disappointed by a lot of things in this show. First, the show looks cheap. Alexandra is meant to be the head of a major cooperation, in reality she looks mediocre. Why? Because she is dressed like an aunt. Even the fancy offices, don’t look fancy to me. Sometimes the blood looks like cheap barbecue sauce, seriously, brown blood? The characters have…

This past Friday Netflix finally released the long awaited marvel superhero series called The Defenders. This series has been about 4 years in the making now, and was built off of 5 seasons of separate series on their own. And, boy, was it worth the wait, at least for the most part. This series features the 4 main characters consisting of DareDevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Danny Rand (Aka Iron Fist), which you…

The show is slowly picking up steam. The episode picks up a few hours after the cliffhanger of the previous episode. This episode is also more of a set up, but not just for our heroes, but also for out villains. As for our heroes, each of them is still living in their own show. Matt Murdock is struggling with his Daredevil persona as if he’s a recovering alcoholic, just dying to put on the suit. Jessica Jones is hea…

It’s a set up episode! Yes, I can’t binge watch. I’m incapable of it, sorry. They are back! Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones as Danny Rand. I’ve missed Jessica Jones’s sarcasm, anti-social behavior and her heart. I even missed some of the villains and I hope we get to see some more of them along the way. Yes, it’s a set up episode. Some of it is good…
