I agree about Iron Fist. The first episode was trash. The way he came back just fully expecting to re-integrate into regular life with tattered clothes and *no shoes* felt very disingenuous. The way they started us out as viewers just as confused as the people he was encountering made me want to turn it off. After episode 1, it got much better though.

[@StevieTurtle37D]

Yeah, I loved Iron Fist. He's my favorite comic book character ever and even though this was a little bit of a let down, I really enjoyed this version of him. Everyone always says the fight scenes are awful (and yes, I enjoy Daredevil's more) but they felt powerful like an actual warrior monk would use those fighting styles. Daredevil's was more brutal and hardcore but it wasn't as well rounded. Here's my ranking of the shows. 1- Iron Fist 2- Jessica Jones (Pretty much tied with Iron Fist) 3- Daredevil S.1 4- Luke Cage (First half is tied with Daredevil) 5- Daredevil S.2 I'm pretty sure Defenders will be my favorite.

[@cafehc]

Antony D'Andrea Iron fist will get better. The actor just needed to learn more martial arts moves. They also need to make danny better at fighting.

[@marlenerosario5538]

I love Jessica Jones and Daredevil equally. They're very different concepts and very different shows. Jessica Jones could legitametly be its own stand alone detective series that's completely unrelated to the defenders and i wouldn't mind. It has a very mysterious and mature vibe. Daredevil is more action packed and blood crazy. Not to mention the characters are to die for. Foggy? Wholesome as hell. Stick? Very entertaining. I feel like in order to like one show over the other is to like one concept over the other, and that is crazy martial arts and blood Vs eerie detective drama.

[@emZee1994]

This was fantastic. There was so much time between each show that by the time defenders came round I had totally forgotten some of the most important information from season 2 of daredevil

[@ConnorEatsPants]

To be honest, and I know this is an unpopular opinion... I don't think Iron Fist is THAT bad. It's not as good as Daredevil S1 and S2 and Jessica Jones, but I found myself enjoying bits of it a lot more than Luke Cage which fell apart for me halfway through. Iron Fist still drew me in.

[@MrSwankypants]

It was the same for me too ps Please don't eat my pants XD

[@ryanarey]

I just wish Danny would have had a clear character motivation from the jump. Had he come home to fight the Hand, turned down control of Rand, learned the Hand infiltrated Rand and THEN tried to take over the company, that would have been compelling, because he would have had to fight evil with something beside his fists. Instead he shows up, wants his company back, but doesn't seem to care about being the IF. Colleen is the best thing about the show.

[@gereadmcdonald2632]

I agree

[@seaofseeof]

Yeah, Luke Cage gradually fell apart from a solid first episode. Whereas Iron Fist was plagued by constant ups and downs, but it had no real glue to hold it together (bad fight choreography, really dumb decisions made constantly by Danny, some really bad acting, meh...). For fans of the Netflixverse, I would recommend watching it because it's the only show so far that actually had an interesting expansion of the universe first setup in DD1 (different factions of the Hand, the way they did the immortality thing etc). But I would not recommend it in general. On rewatch, DD2 doesn't hold up either. Punisher and Fisk are great. As is some of the cinematography as well as the fight choreography in the first first episodes. But wow, does it ever start to decline big time with a really bad and poorly acted Elektra, badly written dialogues and a really unnecessarily convoluted plot that depends on too many coincidences. And DD1 is one of my favorite seasons of telivision I've ever watched. So it's not like I say it lightly. Still looking forward to Defenders though.

[@ryanarey]

The fact the showrunners didn't know what to do with ninjas in DD2 doesn't mode well for the Defenders (same showrunners). Problem is Luke cage threw away a great villain played by an academy award winner, for a guy out of nowhere with a personal connection to Luke cage that wasn't foreshadowed at all.

[@RXIIIK]

I have to say that Daredevil is the best show out of these four. Also, Iron fist is not that bad it does have some problems but it's a working process

[@peculiarmann6884]

I just rewatched all the shows leading up to Defenders. So, I can honestly say I enjoyed the second half of Luke Cage & Iron Fist far more the second time around. I guess since I knew what to expect this time.

[@peculiarmann6884]

Justin I agree that According to the Marvel Netflix shows they are the weakest. But I'm seeing a lot of people call them bad/trash, which just isn't true. Their quality is still higher than most (if not all) the DC shows which are all considered hits on the CW.

[@The757packerfan]

I almost quit on Iron First half way through, but decided to stick it out. So glad I did because the 2nd half was MUCH better.

[@capitanawesome44]

Wish I could agree. But I took a while watching the first part of Iron Fist which I totally was waiting for because it was just boring to me. I know I am comparing it to great material earlier but thats how it goes. If DD was not good I would not have sat through all of other shows. Luke Cage was so great early on with the first story ark with Cotton Mouth. After he leaves it went down hill. Why do I care about Cage's half brother? Cuz he is crazy? What is there really to like about Iron Fist? Cuz he is a giant child who wants to run a corporation into the ground and he is the most gullible super hero ever? Me and my girlfriend just would cringe over how anyone could get this guy purchase snow living in Antarctica. Wing was the BEST part of the show until she started following Rand's lead.

[@peculiarmann6884]

Alex Luke Cage's half brother was important to the story, because he was the one that set Luke's whole story in motion. It was because of him that Luke was sent to Prison (where he got his powers). & It was because of their dad's treatment of Stryker that he hated Luke. As for Iron Fist, & In context with the show. It made sense for Danny to be conflicted & child like. He didn't grow up like Davos for the first 10 to 12 years of his life. He was a Billionaires child... Which means he had access to basically anything he wanted. A plane crash later. He now has dead parents & nothing of his own. Also, he never properly grieved his parents like any child Danny's age would. The monks then teach him to lock all his emotions away. Kun-Lun being isolated from the rest of the World didn't give him any room to grow. Basically, Danny is still a child emotionally & having to learn to grow up once he returns to NY... It actually leaves room for quite a bit of growth for the character. By the end of season 2 he could be the Iron Fist everyone expected him to be. Season 1 was necessary in getting him there. And, I think they did a good job getting that point across.

[@capitanawesome44]

@Peculiar Mann. I do not disagree that the character is important to Luke Cage I will just say the story did a piss poor job of making me care about him. I cared about Cotton Mouth and his murderous cousin/politician. You can make vengeance a story motivational point and misdirected anger but gotta show some empathy for the character who hates to at least get people to understand where he is coming from. Just cuz he hates Cage does not give reason to why he wants to rule over everyone with a fist or kill everyone. Iron Fist, we will have to Agree to disagree here. Rand's childlike wonder would be tolerable if he was this big hearted guy who went around helping others and except for helping lower the price of the new drug he didn't do anything to help others in any direct way. Being out of touch is one thing, being completely oblivious when you are the CHOSEN WARRIOR MONK is quite another. You can't expect that you will get multiple seasons to tell what should be ONE season story ark. I know he has emotions to work through but can it be done in a manner that can at least illustrate a well trained warrior monk coming to grips with his past and not a giant child who trusts EVERYONE. Wing was awesome in the show but she went overnight from not wanting anything to do with Rand to being all about him and betraying her master for him. At the end of the day I leaned more towards other ppl in the sense that I did not really like his character. Above all else ppl gotta at least like ya to root for ya and sit through 13 episodes. His show took the longest time for me to finish and was the only one I watched the day it was released. Is it a horrible show no. Could have been better with a more flawed character not just a childish one. Maybe to see your points more I will rewatch the series but I am not crossing my fingers.

Killed a dragon off screen. He must be one of those brash and undisciplined warrior monks you don't hear about. There's alot of whining, and temper tantrums, and virtually no abstract thinking from Danny, which is all okay if the action scenes are good enough, after all they have to be for a show about a hero who's power is kung fu magic... But no, there are a couple stand out fights, but the majority of the action sequences were sloppy and uninspired.

[@dmf030]

So Iron Fist spent his childhood being beaten with sticks by Shaolin monks, being beaten up by Kung fu dudes and he fought a dragon and he never had to work for anything? It seems that he was the only defender who actually worked for his powers.

[@ryanarey]

David Fadul Daredevil worked his ass off to learn martial arts and overcome his handicap.

[@ryanarey]

DaStrangeMan Does he ever use two fists in the comic?

[@ryanarey]

And sorry about the blanket statement "never worked hard for anything in his life." More a reference to being handed billions of dollars. BUT, Davos was jealous of Danny in part because Danny didn't seem to want the honor. He was given something Davos also worked hard for, and at the first opportunity he abandoned the people he swore to protect.

[@PaperbackWizard]

The show would have been better if it had focused more on his training to become Iron Fist than it did on the "will they/won't they believe he's really Danny" plot. That said, the show itself isn't that bad.

In fact, he's the only one who earned his powers and not through some happy accident. Matt didn't earn his powers. He trained to use it as a strength AFTER the accident blinded him and gave him powers. It was, for intents and purposes, an ACCIDENT. oh and btw forgot the mention Davos.

It's not, but it is a white savior(-ish) story. Iron Fist is a great story that is racially insensitive.

[@BusterDarcy]

Daredevil season one was amazing. Season two was mostly just more of the same, went on way too long but with some worthwhile moments thanks to Punisher. Jessica Jones could have been accomplished in half the episodes, was hard to enjoy because of how much it dragged. I skipped Luke Cage and Iron Fist on suspicion they'd be a continuation of this downward trend in quality, and reviews more or less confirmed that. But I'm actually looking forward to The Defenders since I'm hoping Marvel have learned a thing or two about what works and what doesn't from all the previous series'.

[@victoriabarclay6522]

No I think it's just iron fist. Luke Cage gets a lot of love. As it should, because it was amazing.

[@pascalsimioli6777]

Justin When you need to make a comparison for a product you're just trying anything to defend something you like. Luke Cage is decent at its best and IF is bad under any point of view: bad choreography, acting, no comic relief and the plot kept dragging a passive protagonist trying to give him something to do. It's not even that this is my opinion or yours: these are facts. Proven by critics, stunt choreographers and actors. You may like it but it still will suck.

[@logansmith2703]

I find that LC is great for the first half and decent for the second. IF feels like the reverse order of that.

[@deepanshusingal9207]

Man your video is awesome and it save my two days as i have not watched luke cage and dont want to but why skipping the iron fist are you mad, at this point you are totally wrong.

[@markbambrick]

I cannot thank you enough for making this video. The first season of Daredevil came out forever ago and I can hardly remember what's happened in each Marvel show to know what the hell is going on in The Defenders. Thank you.

[@mainstreetsaint36]

Netflix MCU Punisher is amazing! When he told his story to Matt, as he was leaving back on that Tombstone, I was all in! And I'm not going to lie, I was bawling at the end.

[@diannebdee]

I'm very sorry to have to disagree with you but Jessica Jones is NOT the best of the Netflix shows. Daredevil is the grandfather of this universe and without the success of his show coupled with Charlie Cox's dedication, there would have been no JJ, LC, IF or Punisher. Jessica Jones bored me to tears and Kilgrave was easily the silliest thing I've seen in a show of this nature.

[@jmkyarrow]

Kilgrave was a fascinating idea to explore, I thought the weakest part of the series was the cop with the crazy pills, but either way I agree Daredevil cannot be beaten, even though that doesn't take away from Jessica Jones being a great show in it's own right.

[@actually_curious4773]

Kilgrave was legit the only scary villain MCU ever produced. Terrifying, actually. Until we learned that a) his whole motivation was being Jessica's creepy stalker and b) she became immune to him. Like come on.

[@Achhantei]

When it comes down to the brass tacks, Jessica Jones will not hesitate to kill the really evil guys, while the rest are still shuffling their feet like schoolboys and let others get hurt even as they save the bad guys. She is the most badass and the best defender.

[@tessin4944]

I agree.. but daredevil's principles on justice and his beleif in redemption makes him greater.. For instance JJ would have killed Grotto even though he wanted to repent.. but not Matt.. I think that makes him a better defender

[@chasenoskirts]

[@jeffrousseau4033]

Ryan Arey There's rumors saying Daredevil might appear in Homecoming 2

[@KahlevN]

Wait, since when did Iron Fist never work hard for anything? His parents died, he was orphaned in a strange place, yet through sheer hard work and skill climbed to the top of that society and became their top warrior. And then as Danny after his parents died and he disappeared he had to work to prove his identity, fight against the people who killed his parents and took over their business, and regain control of his dead parent's business empire. I mean, I know the show had it's slow parts and weak points, including some of the acting and writing and fight scenes. But it's not like Danny didn't work for anything at all and just stumbled into everything. Seems like people are just looking for reasons to hate Iron Fist and the character, which is unfortunate, as Iron Fist and his relationship with Luke Cage was some of the earliest and most important work done in comics in terms of addressing social issues and racial divides.

[@mariavcmx8119]

I liked Iron Fist more than Luke Cage.... there I said it. I barely watched like 4 episodes of LC before I gave up. But I do think that Luke is a better character than Danny. It's just that they made his show so boring. I loved Luke in Jessica Jones, but I was just too into the hand plot to really be interested in whatever arms deals or corruption thingy they had in Luke Cage. That being said, I also thing that the resolution of the hand and their big plan was lame af now that the defenders came out. I feel betrayed. Waiting so long for... that hahaha I also think that each individual show was better than the defenders, even tho the characters shined. They're just SO GOOD. The plot was lame.... and they wasted Sigourney Weaver. They should just keep making Daredevil and Jessica Jones and then make Luke Cage and Iron Fist have a show together with each of them popping up on each show once in a while and maybe teaming up for finales and stuff.

Luke Cage season 1 is my favorite single-character series of the Marvel-Netflix shows. Man... I loved everything about it. Then DateDevil season 1&2, Iron Fist, and finally Jessica Jones. The Defenders, however, is my most favorite of all of them in its entirety.

[@SuperAllosaurusRex]

White Iron Fist- Parents killed, barely survives, gets beaten, trains, has to defeat a dragon, get the Iron Fist, works to take back his company, and gets his money back= privileged Black Iron Fist- Rich and does nothing and gets the Iron Fist=Not privileged Just saying this cause if the black version I made up was in the show instead he wouldn't have brought up anything about it.

[@oasis4524]

[@gareyal3172]

One of the reasons I love daredevil and also why I put iron fist above jessica jones and luke cage is that they are more dynamic. Daredevil and iron fist actually move around and show good fighting scenes. And lets be honest, yes story and plot are important, but the main reason most people watch superhero movies and shows is for the action and fighting that would come when beings with superpowers fight. In my opinion, its the only motivating force to watch this type of genre. For example, I didn't go watch the avengers to find out the complexity of the relationship between thor and loki or to explore the psyche of captain america adjusting to modern times. I watched them because how awesome it would be to see them fight and How epic it would be. I think nothing makes this more evident than all the trailers shown for pretty much all these movies. They show the action, the explosions, the fighting, and they emphasize how epic it will be. Anyone remember capt. America civil war? Every trailer was basically showing the airport fight scene. Anyways, to get back to my point. Jessica Jones and Luke cage are boring because of this. they just seem so ridgid. Actually jessica jones felt like it could have been better. Like the bad guy was so awesome being able to order people around. And you are here thinking "damn, I wonder in what clever way is she gonna beat him?" But no. (SPOILERS) She just becomes immune instead. She could have at least tricked him into a heavy metal concert and fight him without being taken pver since she can't hear his commands. Luke cage was better and the music was awesome. But there was no tension at all since he was invincible. So when bad guys show up I was not feeling any sense of danger. Sorry too long I am sure ill see lots of "tl;dr" but if you did know that you are awesome! If it means anything coming from a total stranger

[@TheAntiSanta]

Watch Daredevil Season 1, fast forward through any Foggy or Karen scenes, but especially any Foggy and Karen scenes. Watch Jessica Jones, but only half pay attention to the Cop Character's Scenes. Watch Daredevil Season 2, do not under any circumstance try to understand the Electra Arc, it makes no sense. Only Pay attention to the Foggy and Karen scenes that relate to the Punisher. Watch the first half of Luke Cage, and then only half pay attention to the rest.

[@ryanarey]

Jessica Jones is a great character study and a metaphor for surviving sexual abuse. David Tenant is the best marvel villain, or at least top 3.

I seriously couldn't watch more than half of the first episode of Jessica Jones...a bit too...ehem, inappropriate. And I don't like her character much either from what I saw in the defenders. I liked Iron Fist for the most part. Some of the storylines were drug out, but Netflix is learning.

[@Peaceful_Vegan_Warrior]

It took me 4 days to watch 3 of her episodes. People say that the show will pick up but I skipped her show and started watching the others. I don’t know why people see her as the best defender but I guess I have to watch her show to find out for myself. Two seasons to watch will last me to the end of the year while it took me 2 to 3 days to watch iron his. His show was great to me.

[@jlking0098]

At first with Iron Fist I saw like the first 3 or 4 episodes and it felt reallllll corny and I gave up on it for a while . Then I came back around and maybe on the 6th or 7th episode it picked up and became pretty dope till the ending season. But Jessica Jones on the other hand . I watched a whole ONE episode and completely gave up . Her character was very unlikable and the opening episode just wasnt enough to reel me in for another. In other words , I hated it. I hated her in Defenders too . Her character is really just not likeable
