Remember the good old days, back in 2013, when we were all excited at the prospect of an interconnected universe of Marvel shows that would end in an epic crossover, á la The Avengers? Shows that might even tie in with the movies? When the first season of Daredevil premiered in 2015, its approach to the superhero origin story and gritty tone was met with wide acclaim – it even got the r/Arrow sub-reddit to temporarily become a Daredevil forum right after season 2 premiered.
Daredevil gave us a gut-punching, back-flipping first season with the best fight scene in a confined space since Oldboy, a thrilling story with all the darkness and broodiness of Arrow (but a more grown-up approach), and one of the best TV villains in recent memory. It was followed by Jessica Jones, which was applauded for its complex themes and strong cast – but then came a series of misfires, from the disappointing conclusion of Luke Cage Season 1 to the soulless Iron Fist. And when The Defenders finally assembled for their long-awaited team up, the result was a muddled, anticlimactic mess that squandered most of the goodwill that fans had for the concept.
