I think this is the best Netflix marvel show. 8 episodes really helped because there were really no down parts. There are plot holes and varying powers depending on the situation but I guess you can't have everything. Madam Gao is a pimp and I wish she had her own show. She is by far the best written character in any of the shows and the actress makes you believe in her.

Yeah, a lot of the choreography problems really fell away after Iron Fist, except for
This was a good 8 episodes though, minor flaws aside. Quick-cut fight scenes only really bothered me once pointed out, but I still liked them.
the final fight in the cave w/ Elektra v Defenders, when the main cast turned into extras standing there waiting for Elektra to do her moves, very much felt similar to Iron Fist-level poor fighting

I enjoyed it, though it really irked me when characters were like completely dumbfounded by some of the more simple stuff in the universe? "I'm a super strength girl who's banged an indestructible dude, and at this point have lived through the entire Incident involving aliens coming through a giant worm hole in the sky being fought by a God, another indestructible dude, and many other out landish things, BUT YOUR FIST CAN LIGHT UP BECAUSE CHI!? I'M OUT OF HERE THIS IS RIDICULOUS."

Yeah I'd really like to see JJ picking people up one handed by the ankle and flinging them across the room, throwing pianos and cars at people etc. That would be awesome. There's a little bit of that in defenders, but also a lot of her standing around looking moderately disinterested.

I'm 5 episodes in and am enjoying it so far. The first couple episodes had pretty weak choreography in any scene with a particular lady in it which makes me think she can't do those kind of scenes but a couple of the later ones with her are OK so I'm not sure. Maybe learning curve or something. DD S02 had the worst fighting I've seen in anything in recent memory so it's at least better than that. The characters are all pretty much themselves and doing their thing. I am in love with Krysten Ritter at this point I think.

I got around to starting this later than I had hoped. Just one ep in and the thing that stands out the most is how faithful they're being to the look and tone of each of the individual character's shows while they are on screen. It emphasizes how this series is the coming together of four individuals own stories.

I enjoyed this. It was nice to finally see them all come together. I agree with the above poster with how they were having such a difficult time believing in Chi but super aliens are fine. Its interesting how the power levels of both sides has to be managed. If the enemy is too strong, the Avengers come and beat their ass. If the enemy is too weak, then the defenders roll all over them. That was the problem with Luke Cage. Madam Gao is the only one that I felt could possibly have dealt with Luke. That was the other disappointing thing about the villains. I actually was expecting the leader to go bad ass at least once just to show her power. Alas, this never really happened. A solid 8/10.
I seriously laughed out loud at a scene that had nothing to do with the story. Did anyone else notice the scene where Jessica Jones is running and I swear they forgot to speed it up or something. It looked as though she was told to bound as if she were walking on the moon. I choked up laughing at that little bit.

Haha duuude, if your talking about the scene where DD is jumping up to a balcony and JJ is running below I had the same reaction.

To be fair, that speech could be about wealth as privilege (which actually exists). As a major SJW hater, I was fine with it the way they presented it and it actually tied into the story, unlike a lot of the hamfisted virtue signaling bullshit they generally pull.

Probably don't need to spoiler but whatevs..
Sowande: “You're the dumbest Iron Fist yet.”
Stick: "Because this one, the immortal Iron Fist, living weapon and protector of the ancient city...is still a thundering dumbass."
Iron fist doesn't seem to be any different or learned anything after the iron fist series, showing no growth on the character and him being a dumbass is now a running joke, not really looking forward to iron fist season 2.
The series was ok to me, the 8 episodes was just enough, the fight scenes probably could have been better. It's nice to see them team up, but as mentioned the constant disbelief of things when they all have gone through some shit or another, are part of the avengers universe where NY was hammered with aliens, and themselves having powers, was god damn annoying.
It was also kinda disappointing with the ending basically turning into "Daredevil season 3" with Elektra instead of Alexandra, and the fingers turning into henchmen. I read why they did it that way, but it felt cheap to me for all that build up and the big huncho just being the dead assassin. I never read the comics on any of these characters so maybe I was just expecting too much after kingpin as a baddie.
