The other problem is that everything the Hand did had to be in secret with only threats and speculation about how bad it might be. Because that is the only way it's The Defenders fighting them and not The Avengers (what's left of them) or Spider-Man. You have them follow through on a big threat that kills a bunch of people or destroys a bunch of property and you need to explain why Tony Stark hasn't noticed.

That tasting challenge was bullshit. I mean I love beer so I probably would have picked it. But picking out flavours, unless they are super obvious is extremely subjective. So if one person is tasting grapefruit, someone else might be picking up something else that is also present. Add to that, that flavours in beer change as it warms up, and in some cases quickly as well as it is exposed to the sun. Add that together with the difficulties around being super hot/sweaty and things getting harder the more beer you drink and I could see that one being impossible. Especially since the judges only told you if you were right or wrong.

So what happened to the elevator car? Jessica dropped it but they then cut to the bottom of the pit and it never landed. Was it teleported to kun lun or something? I have never read a comic with Misty Night but she better get a bucky arm or a regrown human arm a la Age of Ultron. Becauae if not the lack of technological consistency between movies and shows will bug me even more. I like ninjas, but Luke Cage is really a ninja proof character. Neither swords nor fists hurt him. He should just grapple with ninjas rather than fist fighting. Although the thing where Danny's punches couldn't move him but Hand goons knocked him back bugged me. Wasn't The Black Sky first supposed to be that little kid that Stick killed? That would have made this a much crazier season.

From what i read the title of 4 may be a spoiler for Infinity War. I suspect they will still be fighting Thanos in that movie aswell just with a different title.

That is sort of where I am at. Some of the characters are super annoying but there were some really funny moments. And with that and this cast, the show has the potential to be really awesome.

In the episode where the two of them go drinking before the play there seemed to be a bit of something going on between the two of them. Even before they got drunk.

I wonder if Cap would. He seemed pretty adamant that he did't trust anyone having any possible oversight of the Avengers (which seems dumb and like something that would set a terrible precedent). He was so stubborn about that, to the point that I thought it didn't work. I think if they presented it your way and have him more pissed about how it was being handled, rather than the result, it would have worked a hell of a lot better.

From what I gather if you take down the building there goes the only source of immortality juice for Gow and her friends. If the leaders of The Hand suddenly have a lifespan it takes a lot of power from their organization. Totally not enough Trish, especially since Claire picked up those metal claws in Iron Fist. I really thought she would pass them onto Trish and we would see Hellcat.

I think the big difference is that amazon has spent those 20 years building up the efficiency of their system to make it very difficult for competitors to arise. That is why they weren't profitable. Even now walmart is going after some of Amazon's business and it is not eaay. With netflix other than a few key shows and name recognition there isn't a lot separating them from their competition. It would be a lot easier for a competitor to take down netflix than amazon i think.

True, but for both jobs formal training is an asset more than an kind if requirement. Now if Karen had become a lawer by just spending time at Nelson and Murdoch without actually going to law school that wouldn't work. But becoming a reporter after spending time working with Ben and because of a sympathetic editor who might feel some guilt over his death, I can buy that.

She was also drunk so she probably thought driving was too dangerous. I am really curious to see how the Hand fight Luke Cage. They use guns, swords and fists and none of those things really hurt him. A direct hit from the Iron Fist gave him a sore jaw. Also "Danny settle down" then "No you settle down" back to the guy who was as calm as could be all things considered was hilarious. Oh Danny you dumbass, good to see you are still 10 years old.

No different than Jessica, who is a top level New York PI even though she appears to have had no training in criminology, or investigations or experience in law enforcement (her last job before being Killgraved was handing out flyers wearing a big sandwich).

The Iron Fist solo parts really were better than any of Danny's fight scenes in all of IF season 1. It is really too bad that they couldn't combine Luke Cage and Iron Fist season 2 into like Heroes for Hire. With Luke Cage he was a decent character stuck in a show with a dumb storyline (seriously Cottonmouth was the worst). But with Iron Fist it was the opposite, decent storyline but weak character. Put them together and the good might cancel out the bad. What, you don't think the Stark Industries version of MS-Office has that kind of search feature?

From this article the show doesn't sound promising: https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/08/18/marvel-is-the-only-one-to-blame-when-inhumans-is-inevitably-a-disaster/#7b23ce344577 I can't believe the first two episodes (that are going to show up in IMAX) theatres were shot in 20 days. Considering the same episodes are going to be on tv less than a month later, who the hell is going to pay for a movie ticket to see a 75 minute long movie? Especially one that looks like these trailers. This might actually be the first MCU thing I ignore completely.

Ok but even forgetting about the accords, acting as a vigilante, even to stop criminals, is illegal in most of the world. Secretly crossing international borders to do that is extra illegal. Sure the way the accords were introduced was shitty, but finding a way to legitimize the Avengers so that their actions aren't breaking the law seems like the smart thing to do.

Of course. What bugged me was the plot of Civil Was was just about the entire world asking Superheros to stop doing that and follow the rule of law and Cap said no.

Not sure I entirely agree with that. If some bad guys are robbing a bank and some idiot cowboy decides to take the law into his own hands and starts trying to shoot them, and someone else gets killed the cowboy is still partially responsible. Because you could also just as easily say that if the Avengers hadn't shown up Rumlow would have just stolen the stuff and left without setting off the bomb (that was meant for Cap). Or if they had perhaps tried to involve law enforcement, then there could have been people there to clear the streets and make sure bystanders would be less likely to get hurt. Isn't that way the public taking the law into their own hands is generally frowned upon?

It has been years since i have watched Avengers, but i don't recall them ever saying BW was a contract killer. KGB agent/assassin for sure but I am not sure i would call that the same as being a hitwoman.

What bugged me was not so much that the clue givers didn't know who the clue names were, but that they wasted a ton of time just staring at the screen without saying anything. If you don't know who the name right away is, just tell the contestant to pass and find a name you can describe. Although didn't they say Vanessa was a host of Entertainment Tonight? You would think she would be better at describing celebrities. That is like high school test strategy. Yea you can really tell how much easier the clues are when the person reading it knows the song and can sing it with the right rhythm.

I kind of wish he went with a bit more Scottish in his accent, because every once and awhile I would hear Killgrave (from Jessica Jones) and it would creep me out. The line about him being more Scottish might have been the best in the episode, although there were a few other contenders. Overall I liked this, the animation looked great, looked almost like a comic on the screen rather than just the usual boring 3D that looks like a 10 year old video game that most of the stuff my kids watch looks like.

Wasn't that the whole point of Iron Man 3? Tony had severe ptsd after the battle of ny because he wasn't any kind of soldier or that kind of thing and had no experience with any kind of actual battle.

Developing shows costs a shit ton of money . Especially the classy kind like netflix likes. Some googling tells me they spent $5 billion on original content alone in 2016 (plus there is licensing other content, marketing and other overhead costs). $9 a month or what ever isn't much for all of what viewers get. Plus consider that many of their supplier and their server host (amazon) either are or want to get in the streaming game, so they probably don't make it easy. But without that original content there isn't much to separate them from their competitors.

Disney could easily fracture their services. Have a mainline disney service ( princess, pixar,mickey and special vault releases) an abc studios one (for Shonda Rimes stuff and modern family) a Star Wars one, a marvel one probably eventually (bet it changes once the defenders shows are all done) an espn major league sports one (NFL and what ever else ESPN has rights too) and a weird sport channel (the Ocho). Then they will sell you three or more channels for a big discount but only if you order the Ocho. I wonder if these studios are just hoping to squeeze netflix out of business. Considering that most of Netflix's content is hosted on Amazon servers it is just about who has the best content. And like was mentioned netflix has a massive amount of debt so other companies siphoning off subscribers is going to really hurt them.

Yea the crazy inventions like arc reactors would probably be out of reach to the average person. But that is the same as the real. I mean no one can buy a space shuttle, but the space shuttle program led to all kinds of spin off tech that was made available to society as a whole. Yea the people running the show in the MCU seem to be dummies. Did it really never occur to anyone that those jets on the helicarrier in Avengers might be useful for something prior to trying to nuke NYC? I have to figure that a couple of fighter jets could do some serious damage to one of those space worm things. But they never seemed to bother. I haven't read a lot of coverage of the movie, but will they not be making T'Challa a genius as well? One thing I liked about the BP comics was the Panther was super smart like Stark or Reed Richards, but also a master tactician like Cap.

I am not sure comics Everett K. Ross would really work in the MCU. The whole point of his character was to kind of show how no one really gave a shit about T'challa either as a head of state (because no one really knew anything about Wakanda) or as an Avenger (because as Priest always said he was the guy in the back of the group photo and there were like 100's of Avengers). So they assign some Useless guy like Ross to be his state department liaison when he visited NYC. But as far as super heroes go there are a lot less in the MCU so one who is also a king of a nation that people have actually heard of is a lot bigger deal. So when he comes to down you can't just send some low level idiot from the state department to pick him up. But yes, canon Ross was great and hilarious, and it is really too bad that Michael J. Fox isn't like 30 years younger.
