I loved Cottonmouth.

I think the first half of S1 of LC is almost DD1 or Punisher good.

The 2nd half is probably worst set of episodes in the Netflix universe.

S2 starts out painfully slow. But the 2nd half is quite good.

That's a great description.

You do have a point about his brother in the first season. Cottonmouth buying it didn't bother me, he didn't see his cousin as a physical threat. I guess I always like first seasons and watching the main characters develop.

Did you catch the Defenders?
I remember liking The Defenders. I binge watched it and I don't remember a lot of it in detail. I'll have to re-watch sometime soon before all of the newer seasons kick off.

I would've liked to have seen more friction between Mariah and Cottonmouth before she broke. That was a pretty big moment in her character arc because it was the watershed moment where she gave up all hope of going legit instead of a gangster. She may have signaled that she wanted to take over that corporation but she used any means necessary with an iron fist to make it happen and was unwilling to give up the club. By the time the dust settled she was in too deep to ever have a hope of being the legitimate businesswoman she had dreamed of being.

I would have preferred to keep Cottonmouth around until the end of season one because it wouldn't have changed any of that and it would have set up the next season nicely.

I liked the Defenders but I didn't read anything about any more seasons. I hope they so.

There isn't any word on a season two for that one that I know of. The universe is meshed together in a way that if you miss one season for one you're missing out on relevant information for another.

I haven't either. I'd like to see them do another season of Daredevil.

They are. I would expect it to be released before Christmas and the next season of The Punisher to be out in early 2019.

GREAT! I liked all the marvel stuff I've seen so far with the exception of Iron Fist

But the Iron Fist stuff in Cage 2 was the best of the season. That just leads to strong indications that they will go with a Hero’s for Hire instead of a Defenders season. They may solve the Cage cliffhanger in IF2 or H4H...

Yeah, The Iron Fist and Jessica Jones are the two weakest shows of the group IMO. Hopefully they get better with time.

I was referring to the Iron Fist series. It was pretty bad. I have no issues with the character being in the Defenders or LC.

JJ season 1 was fantastic.

season 2 was an abomination.

IF was just poorly written.

But the steps Danny took in LC S2 were huge for his character IMO.

It was an interesting cliff hanger. I agree they should solve it in IF2, and not wait for LC3.

Yeah. If you didn't see IF you basically couldn't watch defenders.

I think the only season you could skip if you wanted was Punisher. It was the most stand-alone season to date. Maybe JJ2??

Probably JJ2 because they do go into a lot about how his best friend became his enemy (without actually revealing it, just the fall guy) in DD.

JJ is probably right behind DD

With the direct reference dropped last night on C&D to Misty, I would not be surprised to see Shades show up on C&D probably in S2. He made a bunch of NO references in LC S2 and now the Misty reference in C&D...

Second season of Cage. I like it. But the amount of GD split scenes between story and terrible jazz live music is making me want to stop watching this GD show.
