Watching the Defenders after DD S1 & 2 is jarring.
On the third episode. Elektra scenes where she is fighting after being resurrected was so sloppy you could see the transition from her to a stunt double, and as far as I can remember Elektra doesn’t have shapeshifting abilities.
The swords they were using to threaten Stick while captive looked like cardboard swords I used as a kid.
The dialogue between Luke Cage and Iron Fist is so ham fisted and crap, and Iron Fist in general is just so terribly broody and bratty, feel likes it’s worse than his own personal show.
Jessica Jones and Daredevils interactions so far have been so cheap and weird and feels like the actor playing Jessica Jones is just phoning it in (or just really really bad and rushed production / direction)
There’s some good moments, but my god it is jarring as hell coming from a ridiculously well crafted Daredevil S1 & 2 to this hot garbage, should be a crime I have to watch it to continue into Daredevil season 3.
