The character rehabilitation they did on Danny in 20-25 min is awesome. Dude went from being annoying and whiny to being confident and calm and actually interesting just through moments of dialogue instead of bullshyt monologues or characters saying something about him. I called it back during the Defenders, but he and Luke have chemistry and it's a great way to reintroduce him
I'm glad they did because H.F.H doesn't work if he's a whiny little bytch.

Yup. Had to be done, but they also managed to make it look like real character growth rather than an about face, which is what you should do. Heroes for Hire would be a good look right now

Still can't get over the shyt accents and overuse of the slang and kissing teeth
:russ::hhh:

I hear you - but I get why they did it. The slang is thrown in to do some of the heavy lifting when the accents aren't as strong as they could be.

shyt's a delicate balance - I've been writing something which needs a bunch of slang in it, recently - if you put in too much, 'civilians' won't get it. Too little and you risk losing authenticity.

Real talk - they owe Cheo Coker big time for this. :wow:

There was no way I was coming back for Iron Fist Season 2 with Scott Buck's characterization of Danny as the foundation. :scust:

Instead of Defenders - I'd happily take a 'Heroes For Hire' show anchored by Luke, Danny, Misty and Colleen, with cameos from Daredevil, Jessica and The Punisher.:ehh:

Breh his line about 2001 said more and did more for him than anything he said on his show

Why do these characters have to have these nagging girlfriends? Claire and Karen are the worst, you knew what it was when you met him:stopitslime:



Low-key feel like this show wouldn't really be missing anything if Luke wasn't in. That's a problem.:francis:

She's making sense in everything she's saying tho man. You need someone to question the main character and question them when they're headed down the wrong path.

He almost killed a guy with his bare hands in front of the guy's family and acted as if it wasn't a big deal. And then he got mad at Claire and punched a hole through a wall. You think she should just pretend that everything is okay?

You can't do this shyt and be a pacifist. What's the point in nagging him about it? Going behind his back and contacting his father?

He was beating up a woman and a child. It's not like he killed him.:yeshrug:

She's not saying be a pacifist. She's saying don't lose who he is. Luke's not a killer and Luke had some sort of control. The moments she came at him were when he was losing control and becoming a murderer. It's perfectly reasonable for him to do his job and not become the people he's going after. That's the thing in every superhero show/comic book/movie. Even Batman has his limits and I don't think anyone would call him a pacifist.
