Description
Defenders was good, but needed more episodes. It feels a bit rushed.Related content

She looks badass! Can't help but notice the loud comments, haha. What's up with this new show?

Ah, GunMasterG3 is harmless, just passionate in their commentary. We've spoken before, they don't mean insult by it.
Marvel has been doing a bunch of Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist) that have, like their movies, been meant to culminate in a show, with the main casts forming to stop a threat. Defenders. The issue is, production quality on all the shows except Daredevil has been pretty bad. Luke Cage and Jessica Jones has made up for it by having great characters, Iron Fist was just abysmal, and Defenders, which has the highest of expectations, only had eight episodes so it didn't really have time to explore the characters or the world.
Some people like it as an extension of the other series, some people don't like how it couldn't stand on it's own. I kind of drift back and forth between the two mindsets.

Huh, that's kinda rough. You'd think that Netflix would want to garner as much profit from these fandoms and invest accordingly.

It was weird with Defenders. That was the finish line, that should have been "all hands on deck". But Iron Fist had sufficiently lowered my expectations enough that I was able to enjoy seeing Daredevil, Luke, and Jessica again.
I cannot recommend watching every series (except Iron Fist, wiki that) enough, they're good stories with great characters and Daredevil has numerous fucking phenomenal scenes, but Defenders is going to be the low point. And understand that Jessica Jones and Luke Cage don't handle the visible super powers particularly well, but that's MOSTLY not the point.

It was crap. It lacked cohesion, and in the end they're big plan to stop the hand was to blow up the building. What the hell?!
It was just all over the place and not done all that well.
Just my opinion.

To each his own. I hope season 2 is better, if it's even on Netflix

I think Jessica Jones is finally getting a release August 22, if Amazon is anything to go by.

I hope it's sooner than that. It was filming back to back with Defenders, and they've stated it's coming out 2018. I'm hoping January or February.
I also hope they get a bit more of a budget. I loved the characters in Jessica Jones, but it was hard to look at at times.

I'll need to double check, then. My older brother's more in the know when it comes to comic book characters and shows based off those characters than I.
How was Jessica Jones hard to look at? Special effects failures? Or too dark in terms of lighting?

The fight scenes are rough, especially since it happened right after Daredevil, and they try some not-so-great camera tricks to show her powers.

That's disappointing to hear, but helpful all the same. Daredevil did set the bar for the rest of the Netflix series.

It is worth watching, VERY good character. Just not the best production value.
