Divaman: Ranking the Marvel Netflix Series

Divaman 10.24.18	Think I got them all. In summary: Jessica Jones had the biggest drop off in quality from Season 1 to Season 2. Luke Cage had the biggest rise in quality from Season 1 to Season 2. (It also had the best music throughout). Daredevil has been the best, and most consistent show throughout. Punisher has also been consistent -- excellent in both Daredevil and in his own series. Defenders was by far the biggest disappointment. The lead characters were all well done (including Finn Jones), and the secondary characters were mostly well done as well.
neekafat 10.24.18	JJ Season one is sooooooo good but the fact that 9 isn't 11 is a joke sorry
Jasdevi087 10.24.18	aren't Runaways and Cloak & Dagger also on netflix?
Divaman 10.24.18	It's not, in spite of its rep. It might even be better than 8, which had higher highs but was way more of a disappointment. (I'm basing my ratings both on being as objective as I can be, but also on my own enjoyment level of each series).
Divaman 10.24.18	No. Cloak & Dagger is on Freeform. I've never seen The Runaways, but it's not on Netflix. (And by the way, all of these are better than The Inhumans, which also wasn't on Netflix.)
Jasdevi087 10.24.18	random, i have no idea how i even know they exist then
Divaman 10.24.18	Just looked it up. Runaways is on Hulu.
JeetJeet 10.24.18	Legion>>>all of em
Divaman 10.24.18	Haven't watched it, Jeet. Hard to believe it's better than DD though.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.18	1,2,4 for me - good ranking, bro
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.18	9 is clearly infinitely worse than Luke Cage season 1 though, you're trippin
JeetJeet 10.24.18	It is. You should check it out. Waaay more fun than DD.
MebalZahari 10.24.18	Punisher #1
Divaman 10.24.18	Can't agree, Lucca. Those middle episodes of Luke Cage Season 1 are just horrible, much worse than the mediocrity of Iron Fist. Diamondback just chews up the scenery, and all of that goofiness about Luke's wife in the flashback sequence was worse than cringeworthy. I think the fact that the first bunch of episodes of Luke Cage were really good makes those middle episodes even worse. It's the most wildly inconsistent of all of the Marvel Netflix series.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.18	@Divaman - middle episodes? You mean after Cottonmouth? I dunno, the fact that the first half of Luke Cage fucking ruled imo is farrrrrr more than I could say for Iron Fist. Iron Fist had shit choreography for a show that was kung fu based, Danny Rand was a whiny bitch who I didn't care about AT ALL, no dragons, no character that wasn't boring, no scene that I can recall that was even moderately well directed. I remember that being the only show to make me actively mad that I spent 13 hours of my life on it lol. I stupidly only did so because I wanted to catch up for Defenders, but looking back that was even more of a waste of time than I thought. Diamondback is terrible though, agreed. Should have kept Cottonmouth storyline because that shit was fire. And so was the music.
botb 10.24.18	10 is 7 and 6/7 are interchangeable and you’ve got my ranking. I like all the seasons of DD pretty equally though. Some of my favorite live action super hero stuff ever.
Divaman 10.24.18	Yeah, after Cottonmouth. The episodes w/Cottonmouth were excellent. And yes, the music for both Luke Cage series was excellent. I'm not a big martial arts guy, so although I've heard people who are into martial arts films complain about the choreography, it didn't bother me. And I liked Finn Jones as Iron Fist. His simplicity was appealing as a contrast to DD's darkness, Jessica Jones' sarcasm and Luke Cage's street smarts. The supporting cast was mostly good, including Colleen, Ward, Joy and Harold. My biggest complaint was that I was already bored with the Hand after DD season 2. On the other hand, I liked the Drunken Master a lot.
botb 10.24.18	Very blown at the fact they cancelled Luke cage though, fuckin Disney... i fucked hard with the depiction of Bushmaster and Shades
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.18	Yeah I don't want them to give up on the Netflix series. I personally like the highs of the Netflix series more than some of the highs of the MCU because I feel like I'm watching a show that's made for people my age and not just crazy CGI and colors blasting in my face with jokes every 0.5 seconds. If they cancel Punisher before season 2 comes out, I'm driving to their studios and fist fighting everyone responsible.
Divaman 10.24.18	My understanding is it wasn't Disney who cancelled Luke Cage and Iron Fist, it was Netflix. I'm still holding out hope it's because they're merging the two into an entirely new series, Heroes for Hire.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.18	I just want 35 seasons of The Punisher
Kalopsia 10.24.18	DD is all you need, the rest are balls
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.18	DD is by far the best so far but if they continue on with The Punisher and actually take him to the streets or include some of his awesome villains (can't wait to see what they do with Jigsaw) then it could be fucking amazing. Season 1 was great set up, but now they should be able to make it REAL intense.
