***SPOILERS***
Ok, just got though watching all 8 episodes.
Conclusion?
7 out of 10...it was a cool series but with lots of subpar stuff.
Look, I love Elektra, and that actress is awesome, and unlike the actor playing Iron Fist, she actually has 10 years of martial arts experience, and it showed...she was way more fluid and polished than the awkward Iron Fist actor....
...having said that...
...Elektra continually whips all four Defenders at once? All by herself?? In one scene...she manages to knock out Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage out? And not just out, they wake up at the hospital, lol.
Did the producers forget that both Jessica Jones and Luke Cage have superhuman strength?
Luke Cage was so underpowered...it was not even funny...he was the punching bag of the bunch.
Danny Rand...oh boy...that petulant, emotional, temper tantrum dude...earned the Iron Fist? Why????????? How?????????
Foggy, the redhead from True Blood, etc...why were they even in the show is beyond me, they brought nothing...I fast forward through their scenes.
That Misty detective, soooooooooo annoying...and also useless...
Supposedly the Hand was a threat to the entire City of New York. But the only thing they managed to do was create a lame little tremor that would not wake up most Californians from a deep sleep, lol. If they created that, and their intent was to destroy, then why not go all the way then, why stop there. What were they waiting for?
The hand was composed of a dying White woman, a tiny Chinese old lady, some crazed Puerto Rican, an African/Rastafarian dude...and a Japanese guy who understood English but only spoke in Japanese, lol. The evil United Nations, lol.
That was the threat?
Ok, so they had a few dozen ninjas or whatever...a well equipped S.W.A.T. team would've taken them out in half an hour, lol.
Ok, suspend disbelief, let's say the Hand are a real threat, fine. So why instead of Delta Force, Navy Seals, FBI, CIA, U.S. Marshalls, heck, the National Guard...instead of all that available...you only have Misty, her cliche angry Captain...and two patrol cars??? That was it, lol.
The show felt so small in scope.
Sigourney Weaver's character was wasted altogether...the way she was offed was so lame, so lame.
Other than that, it was nice seeing the Defenders meeting each other, that was part was cool...and overall, the action was not bad...
Please, no more the Hand storylines, please...no more, retire them already, yawn...
Can't wait for The Punisher...I think that one is gonna rule...
