Alright, just finished. Overall, the show was aight. Got say, it's the worst one of all 3 Defender shows so far. I was really digging it right until Cottonmouth died. I was liking the character and the plot up until then. Cottonmouth was intriguing to watch. He was a man way out of his depth, making all sorts of mistakes and bad calls but he was still a the top and full of himself. It was fun to watch, and it was beautifully acted by Mahershala Ali.
I kind of hated Shades, not because he succeed in the end but because he was a nobody who succeed in the end. I mean, he walked tall but he was a nobody, just some common thug that thinks he so freaking smart. Dude just got lucky in the end that it all fell into place for him and Mariah to succeed. I wish Cage had slapped him around like the ***** that he was. That fool wears sunglasses at night . I wish Zip (which was awesome) had gotten the best of him.
Oh, I didn't like that whole family plot with Diamondback and Cage... wish they hadn't gone that route. Also, not too happy that it looks like Diamondback will be getting his own set of powers now. Cheap...
On more complaint, Luke and Claire relationship. Couldn't they just have been buddies? The had that friendly/flirty back and forth going and it was fun to watch but it should have been as far as it went. That stupid kiss felt forced in the end. Now what, we can expect a love triangle between Luke, Jessica and Claire? Freaking dumb... don't turn this into one of those awful CW shows.
Oh, and Luke was WAY too under powered. As if that wasn't bad enough, what's the point of having the guy be bullet proof then completely get rid off his one advantage with those Judas bullets. Now, any schmoe can be a threat to the guy. Don't even bring him over to the Defenders, he is useless now. Let him stay home and just give him a call when DD, JJ and IF need someone to break a few doors.
6/10 - Won't watch again.
Yeah, those Judas bullets... Now they can be used to kill off the Defenders and every super power person in the MCU if they can almost kill off Cage with his bullet proof skin.
