I'm still proud of you.

For the record, I am 23, so yes, crazy young.

It was an Abe Simpson joke…

I was born in this comments format and I'll die in this comments format.

It was a joke…

I couldn't get through the prologue on episode three. I gave up and am watching Nathan For You.

Why not stretch it out? Defenders certainly did…

Man, the transition cuts using weirdly shot footage of trains moving to move between main characters is so, so annoying.

It's funny from my perspective because I don't even like the Netflix shows that much (excepting the first) and the bias is still crazy obvious. AVC has always had a bad habit of blowing whichever way the internet wind is blowing though.

I know! Then again, I remember people telling me Daredevil season one was not as good as the Flash so maybe I am the outlier?

This site does have a weird anti Netflix superhero bias in exactly the same way they have a weird pro CW superhero bias.

Yeah, it feels like the fundamental understanding of what people want out of a crossover franchise which the Avengers had is wholly lacking from Defenders. It's ok so far (only a few episodes in), but it doesn't even slightly live up to the promise they have supposedly been building to.

The problem, for this viewer who also only watched on of the 4 individual series, is that they manage to spend an episode table-setting without making the status quo any less confusing. I was lost but also bored.

Apparently Matt Murdock…but he is blind.

So, that fireworks factory…

This seems exactly right. I don't think what Fraction and Waid did, as good as it may have been, should have become the template because now the mediocre books end up also being mediocre farces lacking in the adventure and mythos that I often want even in average superhero fare.

It's just so rote at this point. Goofy henchman, comedically serious crime boss, burly hero with heart of gold, annoying sidekick hiding emotional trauma. It's not bad but I was legitimately bored.

Read the first volume of Power Man and Iron Fist and thought it was really average. It felt like about a dozen books I had read before from the last five years of Marvel comics.

Hey, if you guys find something, let me know. I liked our relaxed little corner on Disqus better but I didn't want to run it.
