I haven't watched it, but will one day. I've watched most of the other Marvel Netflix shows, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and half of Luke Cage. After they killed off Cottonmouth halfway through the first season, I lost interest. Haven't gotten to Punisher yet.

I do have one question though. Do you have to watch The Defenders in order to understand where the characters are in their individual shows? The new season of Jessica Jones just came out and was wondering if anything happened to her in The Defenders that would affect her character going forward.

No. I just binged the new season of JJ and it's like the Defenders didn't even happen. You should definitely watch the punisher though. It's my favorite of the Netflix marvel series

I don't think it impacts Jessica Jones much if any. I'm 3 episodes in and haven't seen it, all the past references are to season 1 and Killgrave. Based on the source comics there are some crossover story lines for Iron Fist and Luke Cage and Iron Fist and Dare Devil. So it might be referenced in those just in how they got together. But they've typically done a good job of making these stand well on their own despite the integration.

Also, saw an article yesterday where Kristen Ritter mentioned there may not be a Defenders 2. It sounds like there may have never been plans for it beyond the 1st one, which seeing how Season 1 was underwhelming, it's kind of a relief. I can't believe how badly they blew this.

Defenders shat the bed hard on what should have been a dunk.

Daredevil writers are probably pulling their hair at the pit being used for such nonsense and fights after the office being nonsense.


Going forward we'll really only see the consequences in Daredevil 3 as Iron Fist hijacked his storylines in Defenders and we'll see the fruition of the ending there.

So far, I think the Punisher has been the best netflix marvel show yet.
