The Defenders The Defenders General Discussion Thread - Part 1

[Six]

Ugh... what's with all the stupid short teasers? They might as well not even be advertising it because these teasers have absolutely no substance and every time I click on one expecting it to show something worthwhile it kills the hype. Unless they release an amazing full length trailer I'm probably going to completely forget about this until it comes out, I'm already looking forward to Punisher and Inhumans, even Cloak & Dagger more.

New York Bulletin was updated with new covers, not sure it means anything.

I think one cover might have to do with Frank Castle/The Punisher maybe? The one that stayed constant was the Midland Circle (the big hole in DD S2)

Trailer! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4h3m7B4v6Zc

Good to see a trailer. Would've liked to have seen DD actually suit up. I guess he would look completely out of place next to the others though.

Elektra is wearing some odd black shorts over red leggings or stockings to make up her red costume look.

That bit with Matt coming in to represent Jessica was ripped right out of Alias...and to be honest is something I wish we'd gotten in Jessica Jones itself, but I'm fine with it here.

Solid trailer, though. Hopefully Danny's not a drag here, too.

I thought Danny was an improvement already. But I enjoyed him in Iron Fist for the most part, so what do I know.

 

[Dark Raven]

That headscarf on Matt looks like something Danny should be wearing. It makes him look more like Iron Fist in that scene than IF himself.

 

[NotNickFury]

Actually, on that, could Matt just take out his Season 1 outfit out of hiding or at least the scarf if he needs to conceal his face?

Thought part of that is just my nostalgia for the Man Without Fear outfit.

 

[Filmfan93]

This looks incredible. Awesome trailer and I love that they kept "Come as you are" from the announcement teaser. Really well incorporated into the trailer.

The wait is almost over!

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Thank god I had this trailer to wash the bad taste of the Dark Tower trailer out of my mouth.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Looks cool. Looking forward to the team fighting together.

 

[#root]

That hallway fight in the end looks boss .

 

[Rowsdower!]

Looks great. I think I needed that after watching that depressing Dark Tower trailer. Anyway, I'm wondering if Matt won't fully suit up in this, or if he does, it might only be when he's apart from the rest of the team so he doesn't look out of place. Either way, this looks awesome.

 

[Dark Raven]

Are we going to get a trailer without the subtitles?

EDIT: I see you've replaced that in your post with the official one.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah. Danny's definitely not getting a costume. Unless you count yellow shoes as a costume.

I believe there are set photos of him suited up with the team out there.

 

[Dark Raven]

Maybe that scene of Matt opening that chest and looking at his costume is going to actually be a scene of him deciding not to wear that thing because he thinks it now looks too out of place next to everyone else. If Jessica Jones thinks he looks like an idiot with the headscarf, what will she think of him in the red outfit?

 

[PeterBenParker]

Great trailer! Very excited.

Which is strange, considering, like he said, it's HER scarf.

Not that Jessica has ever cared about her own appearance.

 

[kguillou]

AWESOME trailer. So excited to see these characters come together, interact and banter. Danny seems better written here and than in his own series, which is a relief because I really don't want him to bring this team down. He should be the lighthearted one out of this group of angsty individuals.

Everything looks good so far.

 

[Zero_Effect]

Meh trailer. Marvel Netflix shows have been on a downward trend since Daredevil. Hopefully the show is better then this trailer.

If there's time for him to suit up, he will. The scarf is just an improvised mask. It's apparent the story will dictate whether he wears the costume or not. If he has the time to travel back to his apartment then he will. But if he's trying to be incognito when **** goes down the scarf will do.

Also I'd like to point out he is wearing the costume in the trailer. He has it at 1:26 and 1:43, though it appears he doesn't have his mask or gloves on, they could have been taken by surprise.

I never would have picked that song but I loved it the instant it starts playing. A perfect choice.

That moment definitely belongs in the defenders, the whole point of this series is the characters getting together.

Yeah, he had awful dialog in Iron Fist. Improve that, the character immediately gets better.

 

[Solaire]

Had the biggest grin on while watching the trailer, looked fantastic. So great to see them all interact, biggest moment for me was Luke confronting Danny. Nice to see that the Iron Fist can hurt the Unbreakable Man. Matt is easily the underpowered one of the group, wonder if he'll use his radar and lawyer skills to help most of the time.

It looked like I saw his DD costume for a second too, weird because I heard he wouldn't have a costume. End bit with the scarf was funny.

We're gonna need a bigger hallway.
