I'm totally fine with Foggy and Karen, but it's all the missed opportunities with Elektra that rustled my jimmies with the show (S2 & The Defenders).

 

[SpiderBat]

Well, I definitely liked having Deborah Ann Woll on my screen but beyond that I was neutral on Karen. Foggy I liked in S1 but in season two he became way too whiny (I genuinely don't remember a single thing about him in S3).

For Elektra, I've always felt like once the focus shifts from Punisher to her the quality of S2 instantly plummets. They speedrun through her arc way too quickly; in the span of like 6 episodes she goes from returning old flame for Matt, to assassin, to the reveal that she's actually part of Stick's group, and then finally the Hand's weird messiah. I also didn't care for Elodie Yung in the role.

O yea. Elektra was in the show. Damn she didn’t make an impact at all. Wtf. She’s one of marvels most popular girl heroes. They swept her under the rug quick

Liked her in Mr Robot. She’s always cast as ice queens.

I thought Élodie Yung captured Miller and Sienkiewicz's Elektra.
Also her French/Anglo accent conveyed a somewhat exotic well traveled, educated abroad etc., as per the character.
Although agree she needs a stronger on-going story and presence, (still plenty of source material to mine if they want), visually maybe a bit of a costume update, and should add the harsh bangs.

Speaking of Élodie Yung the woman he's standing across from could be her, then again it's so blurry it could be anyone.

I **think** it’s Nikki James

 

[Mondragon]

Who does she play?

Who does she play?

I don’t think they’ve said. At first I thought it was Rosario but I think it’s too short to be her or Elodie but hey it’s just a wild guess.

Boom! I was right. It’s Nikki James. But who is she playing? With those clothes - another lawyer? DA?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Ellen King I'm thinking.

That seems right. You know your DD characters much better than I do! Haven’t read them regularly in a loong time.
