Fun The Defenders Facts
The Defenders was the sixth series produced by Marvel Television for the Netflix Streaming Service, bringing together a cast of characters that were introduced previously in five 13-episode individual shows: Daredevil: Season One, Jessica Jones: Season One, Daredevil: Season Two, Luke Cage: Season One, and Iron Fist: Season One. You can read about the history of Marvel Television from its inception as a division within Marvel Entertainment overseen by Ike Perlmutter and run by Jeph Loeb to its incorporation into Marvel Studios and the eventual canonization of Marvel Television’s Defenders Saga into the Marvel Cinematic Universe under the Fun Facts section of my reviews of Daredevil: Season One, Jessica Jones: Season One, Luke Cage: Season One, or Iron Fist: Season One. Each of those posts can be found on the dropdown menu of the site under the MCU PHASE TWO and MCU PHASE THREE REVIEWS tabs.
Like The Avengers, The Defenders are a superhero team within Marvel Comics that has been comprised of a multitude of different characters over the years. The team was first introduced in Marvel Feature # 1 in 1971, and the concept of the team was created by Roy Thomas and Ross Andru. The original team was comprised of Doctor Strange, The Hulk, Namor the Submariner, and The Silver Surfer. The Hulk (Bruce Banner) was the first original member of The Defenders to be introduced within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at first portrayed by Edward Norton in Marvel Studios’ 2008 film The Incredible Hulk and portrayed from there by Mark Ruffalo beginning with Marvel Studios’ 2012 film The Avengers and extending to his most recent appearance in the 2022 Marvel Studios Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Doctor Stephen Strange was the second member of the original Defenders to be introduced within the MCU, portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch beginning in the 2016 Marvel Studios film Doctor Strange and extending to his most recent appearance in Marvel Studios’ 2022 film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Namor the Submariner made his MCU debut in Marvel Studios’ 2022 film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, portrayed by Tenoch Huerta. As of this writing, The Silver Surfer has yet to be introduced within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In August 2017, ahead of the release of The Defenders on Netflix, Marvel began publishing a new Defenders title with the team comprised of the same characters that would comprise the team in the now former Netflix series: Daredevil (Matt Murdock), Jessic Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist (Danny Rand). Iron Fist had previously been a member of The Defenders during a 2011 Defenders series alongside original members Doctor Strange, Namor, and Silver Surfer, along with new addition (Red) She-Hulk (Betty Ross). Each member of Marvel Television’s MCU Defenders team were introduced in their own respective series, leading up to their team-up show, following the same formula that Marvel Studios used to build up to the first Avengers film.
Upon the MCU (Sacred) Timeline, The Defenders takes place after Iron Fist: Season One and before Captain America: Civil War.

My The Defenders Review
The H Word – Directed by SJ Clarkson. Written by Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez
The Defenders appropriately opens with several tone-setting sequences that catch us up with the key players coming out of their respective individual shows. Danny Rand’s campaign against The Hand has landed he and Colleen Wing in Cambodia where the Iron Fist encounters a powerful and mysterious woman (later revealed to be Elektra) who not only bests him during their brief confrontation, but also kills another man who had engaged her in combat. With his dying words, the man acknowledges Danny as the Iron Fist and insists that he return to New York, for he knows that it is there where the threat of The Hand will truly manifest itself. Danny and Colleen therefore promptly decide to return to New York as Danny continues to struggle with the overwhelming guilt that he feels over his failure to protect K’un-Lun.
Back in New York, Matt Murdock has retired as Daredevil following the death of Elektra and is now working individually as a pro bono lawyer. If you watched the first two Seasons of Daredevil, you know that Matt has wrestled with an inner struggle of his own; his compulsion to punish the wicked and protect his city. Matt’s truly making the world a better place through his law career, but he is tortured by the feeling that he can do more … he wants to do more … he in fact needs to do more. We get a nice little scene between Matt and Karen Page that reveals they haven’t exactly closed the door on a relationship but aren’t in the process or pursuing it either. She and Foggy are both doing their best to encourage Matt on his new non-vigilante path, and Karen seems both proud, and genuinely concerned about the man who saved her life so valiantly on more than one occasion as Daredevil.
Private investigator Jessica Jones isn’t retired, but she might as well be. Since killing Kilgrave, Jessica remains tortured by all of the awful things that he put her through and her goal every morning that she wakes up is to consume as much alcohol as possible while thinking as little as she possibly can. Her solution to her trauma and all of the noise that surrounds it is to drown it out. Her friends Trish and Malcolm are the opposite of what Foggy and Karen are to Matt Murdock; they want Jessica to be more than she is; to be the hero that they know that she can be, but she wants no part of any of that. Jessica is soon visited by the wife and daughter of a missing architect named John Raymond. Jessica refuses to take the case, but her curiosity is piqued when she receives a sudden phone call discouraging her from getting involved. Jessica being Jessica, she now wants to know what is going on and she quickly tracks down the whereabouts of Raymond, discovering a stockpile of explosives in the apartment in which he had been residing.
In Georgia, after serving an unspecified amount of time behind bars at Seagate Prison, the former Carl Lucas now known as Luke Cage is legally freed, thanks to the work of none other than Foggy Nelson. Luke happily leaves the prison and immediately returns home to Harlem where he finally has “coffee” with Claire Temple before being encouraged by Detective Misty Knight to reinvolve himself in the lives of the young men in Harlem that she believes he can (like the late Pop once did) have a positive influence on. This specifically applies to a young man named Cole Miller, whose brother Sean recently turned up dead. Sean and Cole’s sister was the late Candace Miller, who was murdered by Shades in the First Season of Luke Cage. Luke agrees to meet with Cole, but the young man shows little interest in accepting Luke’s help, advice, or encouragement. He is on his own path.
We are also introduced to the primary antagonist of this show: Alexandra. She learns that all of her vital organs are failing, and her time is quickly running out. She is established as an ally of Madame Gao’s, and she encourages Gao to “speed up” their plans.
As the plans of The Hand are set into motion, an earthquake tears through Hell’s Kitchen just as Danny and Colleen return to New York. As carnage spreads through the city, we also see a resurrected Elektra Natchios (the Black Sky) in the company of Alexandra.
The earthquake scene was executed well and as an introductory episode, this was mostly good. I thought Marvel TV did a nice job of keeping to the spirit of the worlds that were established in each of the previous individual Seasons from music to mood, to atmosphere. Luke’s return felt a little rushed while Danny’s return felt a little too long, but overall, this worked and set the tone for a series that I was immensely looking forward to. These were the characters that we know doing what we love seeing them do, and though I was admittedly nervous about the stuff with The Hand working, I was also really excited to see these characters come together.

Mean Right Hook – Directed by SJ Clarkson. Written by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Marco Ramirez
As carnage from the earthquake ensues, Matt Murdock is provoked into action in order to defend a band of young looters from finding themselves on the wrong end of gunfire. Meanwhile, Jessica Jones, who was in John Raymond’s apartment at the time of the earthquake, informs the police of what she’s found, leading her to be interrogated by arriving officers and soon meeting Detective Misty Knight for the first time. Misty and Jessica aren’t all that impressed with each other (Jessica’s reputation has preceded her) and Misty is furious when she witnesses Jessica take evidence from the crime scene.
After Jessica leaves Raymond’s, Jeri Hogarth confronts her in an effort to inform her just how serious the situation that she has gotten herself involved in is. Jessica ignores Hogarth’s warnings for her to move on from it before she finds herself in over her head. Jessica returns to her apartment / office, and that is exactly what happens. John Raymond is there, holding Malcom at gunpoint, angry that Jessica didn’t stay away from his case after he’d tried to warn her. A panicked Raymond insists that he’s a good man and frequently refers to “they” and “them” before Elektra arrives, prompting him to shoot himself in the head right then and there. Covered in Raymond’s blood, Jessica engages Elektra, but is no match for her, and a disinterested Elektra flees the scene. Jessica gives chase, but finds only Misty Knight outside, and Misty takes Jessica back to the precinct for questioning.
The tension between Jessica and Misty is pretty great here, but before Misty can escalate the situation with the same bullying style of harassment that we saw her use in Luke Cage, Matt Murdock enters the room and orders Jessica to refrain from saying another word before introducing himself as her attorney. This scene with Matt and Jessica together on-screen in the same scene gave me goosebumps, it was SO good!
In the meantime, Danny and Colleen are investigating another apparent slaughter orchestrated by The Hand and when a clean-up crew arrives to cleanse the area of the bodies that are scattered about it, Danny and Colleen intervene. One of the young men working the job is none other than Cole Miller, whom Luke Cage is tailing. When Danny begins roughing up Miller, Luke intervenes, and we get Luke Cage vs the Iron Fist for the first time!
As a Marvel comic book fan, this is the stuff that I live for! This too, was SO good! Watching Danny pound away at Luke with all of these various martial arts strikes, and seeing Luke be completely unphased was amazing! The fight was filmed and choreographed perfectly with some slow-motion shots, some hard-looking hits, and the necessary amount of drama. Of course, you know how it ends. Danny, having been unable to make a dent in the man with unbreakable skin, summons the Iron Fist and levels Cage with a brilliantly shot slow-motion power-punch that literally sends Luke flying! Before things can escalate any further, police arrive and while Danny flees, Cole is taken into custody.
Elsewhere, we learn that Alexandra and The Hand have taken Stick prisoner.
While some of the pacing felt off, with Matt meeting Jessica and Luke fighting Danny, this show began to give me what I signed up for in this episode, and I quite enjoyed it!

Worst Behavior – Directed by Pete Hoar. Written by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Douglas Petrie
This episode opens with flashbacks to The Hand and the resurrection of Elektra. As these sequences developed, I started thinking about Iron Fist and thinking “Oh no, The Hand”, but thankfully, these scenes weren’t drawn out for too long and we got back to modern day New York quickly, which is where I as a viewer want to be.
There, Jessica Jones dismisses the help that Matt Murdoch tries to offer her and the two of them sort of start looking into each other, with Jessica taken aback when she witnesses Matt’s uncanny flexibility and rather dynamic range of motion, despite his apparent disability. Meanwhile, Claire Temple arranges for Luke Cage and Danny Rand to meet and talk things out at Colleen’s dojo, and the interactions between the two are intriguing, but they ultimately find it difficult to see the world through one another’s eyes.
Danny nonetheless begins looking into his company’s ties to Midland Circle, the new front company of The Hand and he ventures to confront The Hand at their corporate headquarters in broad daylight. Alexandra is prepared for the challenge, but Danny receives a surprising assist from Luke Cage and business really picks up here as Matt has arrived downstairs in the same building, unknowingly tailed by Jessica. As chaos erupts, Matt, Jessica, Luke, and Danny find themselves fighting together against agents of The Hand! They make a strong stand until Elektra arrives and Matt is deeply troubled to discover that his ex-girlfriend is back from the dead.
Look, seeing Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow unite against Loki’s extraterrestrial army during the Battle of New York was one of the most special things that I have ever experienced as either a moviegoer or a comic book reader, and while this team-up of The Defenders didn’t land quite the way the assembling of The Avengers did, it still felt special and I couldn’t help but smile watching it! This is what I came for and I thought it was executed beautifully!
We also saw Stick cut off his own hand to escape The Hand and seek out the Iron Fist, and that was a pretty great sequence as well.

Royal Dragon – Directed by Phil Abraham. Written by Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez
Matt, Jessica, Luke, and Danny flee to a local restaurant called the “Royal Dragon” where Danny suggests that the four of them coming together at the same place at the same time as they did was no coincidence, and that they should formally join forces to take down The Hand. Each of the other three have their own reasons for not wanting to do such a thing, and there is some very fun banter amongst the four heroes en route to Matt confessing that he is the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen (which Jessica deduced), to Stick making an appearance and encouraging the group, and on to Jessica declaring that she works better alone, abandoning the men.
Meanwhile, Stick reveals the backstory of The Hand: they are comprised of five founding members (the “Fingers of The Hand”) and they used to reside in K’un-Lun before being cast out of the Realm due to their ambition to seize the power to live forever. These five individuals are Alexandra, Madame Gao, Bakuto, Sowande, and Murakami. Furthermore, only Stick and the Iron Fist remain from Stick’s sacred Chaste and its accompanying dogma, who warred with The Hand over the years.
Alexandra soon emerges in the restaurant and offers to spare New York if the Iron Fist willingly leaves with her. Danny refuses and Alexandra unleashes Elektra, who is swiftly run down by Jessica, who’d commandeered a vehicle and crashed it through the “Royal Dragon” before joining the other heroes in a show of force, having since made a decision to take a stand against The Hand after discovering that the Raymond Family were still in imminent danger.
The episode ends with Alexandra flustered as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and the Iron Fist stand together, ready to defend New York.
Everything with The Defenders was pretty awesome throughout this episode, but sadly, Sigourney Weaver’s Alexanda character and her Hand cohorts are doing nothing for me. They are cartoonishly wicked, poorly written characters that feel largely boring and uninteresting, as just as the Corporate Drama weighed down Iron Fist and the far-too-over-the-top Diamondback dragged down the second half of Luke Cage, The Hand is preventing this miniseries from being great, despite its many satisfying moments that involve the four heroes and their respective friends.
Marvel Entertainment / The Walt Disney Company
Take Shelter – Directed by Uta Briesewitz. Written by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Douglas Petrie, and Marco Ramirez
The forces of The Hand converge upon the Royal Dragon to take on The Defenders. Matt lures Elektra away from the fight, ignoring Stick’s call for them to stay together. As Matt wages war with Elektra, he calls her by her name and this gives her pause, and she also intervenes on behalf of Matt from an attack by Murakami. As The Hand flee, Luke is missing in action and Stick is mulling over The Hand’s declaration that the Iron Fist was the “key” to their plans.
The Defenders relocate to Colleen’s dojo and Luke soon reconvenes with the group, revealing that he had captured Sowande. Moving into a nearby abandoned building, the group prepare to do what they can to extract information from Sowande, though he isn’t very forthcoming, aside from declaring that friends of the heroes who have captured him, are in imminent danger. Claire Temple, Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, Colleen Wing, Trish Walker, and Malcom are therefore all relocated to the police precinct under the watch of Misty Knight, with Matt informing a none too pleased Karen that he has taken back up the mantle of Daredevil.
The reemergence of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen concerns The Hand due to Elektra’s past association with him. Murakami, Gao, and Bakuto (yeah, he’s back, unfortunately) are beginning to doubt Alexandra and The Hand’s reliance upon the Black Sky, but Alexandra is unwavering in her stance. As the tension between the members grows, Daredevil begins to torture Sowande, but still fails to get much of anything out of him. A frustrated Matt comes clean with his new companions regarding his past with Elektra and as they bicker over his dishonesty, Sowande breaks free and prepares to take Danny hostage, holding a knife to Rand’s neck.
With no patience whatsoever for such things, Stick casually decapitates Sowande, killing him, to the dismay of the others in the room.
Elsewhere, Elektra has snuck away from Alexandra, venturing off to Matt’s apartment where she takes comfort in her surroundings, drifting off to sleep.
It’s going to sound redundant at this point I guess, but The Hand continued to drag this series down while the banter between The Defenders continued to lift it up. I have to give props to Jessica Jones for the way she calls out everyone who tells their stories as if it’s the most ridiculous thing that she has ever heard. I also enjoyed her reaction to seeing Daredevil suited up in all his glory and how she cynically informed him that the scarf he’d previously worn looked better. Great stuff!

Ashes, Ashes – Directed by Stephen Surjik. Written by Drew Goddard and Marco Ramirez
Well, that happened! The sixth episode of The Defenders ended with Elektra shockingly murdering Alexandra and declaring herself the leader of The Hand, which has now lost two Fingers. Great effort was made leading up to this moment to stress the bond between Alexandra and Elektra and how Alexandra refuses to doubt Elektra, even while her cohorts have lost all faith in the Black Sky. Watching The Hand slowly turn on one another made for some long and drawn-out sequences that could probably be used to cure insomnia, and personally, I was glad to see Sigourney Weaver’s character go, as I don’t think I could stomach watching another close-up scene of her listening to music or eating and drinking wine. The Alexandra character was a huge miss for me, and hopefully she really is dead, which I think she is, given the fact that Elektra chopped off her head after she stabbed her.
Meanwhile, things got really tense between The Defenders. Stick declares that the most important thing that the group should be concerning themselves with is not allowing the Iron Fist to fall into the custody of The Hand. This means basically stowing Danny away, which deeply angers Danny. This leads to a Daredevil vs Iron Fist fight, and I loved every second of it! The showdown ended with Danny using the Iron Fist to level Daredevil (and everyone else in the room with him). As everyone struggles to regain their composure, Jessica casually knocks Danny out with a vicious punch, and he is subdued.
As Matt and Jesscia venture out to further investigate Midland Circle, Luke keeps watch over Danny while Stick meditates. The conversation with Luke and Danny here was great (Danny’s annoyance that Luke won’t take his stories seriously was wonderful), but things get real dark real fast when Stick uses a concoction of smoke to knock Luke unconscious while declaring that the only safe option to ensure the war against The Hand is won is to kill the Iron Fist. Stick prepares to do that very thing but is interrupted by Elektra. Matt and Jessica arrive back just in time to see Elektra gleefully murder Stick, after which she takes the others out before taking custody of Danny.
The Hand now have the Iron Fist … but they also have a new leader!

Fish in the Jailhouse – Directed by Felix Enriquez Alcala. Written by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Marco Ramirez
We start this episode off with Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage in police custody and Misty Knight and her fellow officers have a lot of questions. Danny Rand is missing, and the three unconscious Defenders were found by law enforcement with two bodies (Stick and the decapitated Sowande), making them suspects. Pressed for information, the vigilantes peg The Hand as the real threat, but they feel limited in what they can actually say. Foggy Nelson, concerned that if the situation continues to linger, people may be able to connect the dots that would lead them to the revelation that Matt Murdock is Daredevil, approaches Matt and gives him his Daredevil suit. From there, Matt, Jessica, and Luke break out of the police precinct, with officers assuming that Luke and Jessica have kidnapped their lawyer. Luke and Jessica are now wanted and on the run.
Elsewhere, the three remaining Fingers of The Hand reluctantly allow Elektra to use Danny as the key to the door that stands between them and the sacred substance that they all desperately need to maintain their immortality. Gao, Bakuto, and Murakami confront Matt, Jessica, and Luke at Midland Circle. The ensuing fight is interrupted by Collen Wing. After the remaining three Fingers of The Hand flee, Misty Knight and Claire Temple arrive upon the scene and Misty promises to stall the incoming police. Colleen soon reveals that she’s hijacked Raymond’s explosives from police custody and it is agreed by all involved that Midland Circle should be brought down upon itself as Raymond had hoped to do before his death.
Meanwhile, in the caverns underneath Midland Circle, Danny refuses to willingly cooperate with Elektra and this leads to a fight between the Iron Fist and the Black Sky. During the showdown, Elektra deflects a blow from the Iron Fist, and Danny punches the mystical door that The Hand had hoped he would open. When he awakens, he finds himself in the skeletal remains of a massive dragon!

The Defenders – Directed by Farren Blackburn. Written by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Marco Ramirez
Danny Rand learns that the substance that makes resurrection possible for The Hand is derived from the bones of dragons and Danny realizes that the harvesting of the substance from the skeletal remains of the dragon underneath New York by The Hand will cause widespread destruction.
It’s up to Colleen Wing and Claire Temple to position the explosives in place while Matt, Jessica, and Luke try to rescue Danny. Colleen soon finds herself in another fight against Bakuto. A recently arrived Misty Knight intervenes and is shocked when her gunfire does not phase Bakuto, who takes Claire hostage, holding a blade to her throat. Misty intervenes again and consequently loses her right arm. Bakuto finally falls however to Colleen, who decapitates him. Another finger of The Hand is dead.
Underground, The Defenders unite against The Hand and make a strong stand. During the battle, Matt notices that the countdown for the implanted bombs has begun and he urges everyone to leave before the explosions, encouraging Danny with a whisper to protect his city.
The fight is now down to Daredevil vs the Black Sky, but Matt refuses to kill Elektra. They eventually stop fighting and even share a passionate kiss as the bombs detonate and the building come down around them. The remaining Fingers of The Hand (Gao and Murakami) are killed as the building comes down as are presumably, Matt and Elektra.
Back at the precinct, Karen and Foggy mourn the loss of Matt when he doesn’t return with the other heroes.
From there, it’s set up that each of The Defenders will return to their individual lives with Danny striving to become the hero that Daredevil once was, Luke remaining Harlem’s greatest defender, and Jessica getting back to work as a PI. We then learn that Matt Murdock has survived and has been relocated to Saint Agnes Orphanage.
The Finale wrapped everything up nicely while setting up the future, so no complaints there, and I really liked the way that Jessica was highlighted during the final battle. As for my overall reaction to this series, it is honestly a very mixed bag. The Defenders was built around the two things that I liked least about Daredevil: Season Two and Iron Fist: Season One: The Matt Murdock / Elektra love story and The Hand.
I just never bought-in to the Matt and Elektra thing. She was presented as being very toxic for Matt, and their “rebel love” sort of romance just didn’t work for me. I rarely liked who Matt was when Elektra was involved, as to put it simply, she brought out the worst in him. Elektra was furthermore manipulative and damaged and felt very soulless at times – surely, purposefully, since she was a Black Sky and all, and I get that, but I just never found the character all that likeable. But maybe that’s just me.
As for The Hand, good grief, what a colossal miss by Marvel Television. All the mystical mumbo jumbo was nauseating at times and the casting was largely abysmal. Madame Gao shined at various times in other shows, but overall, the Fingers of The Hand were boring characters with horribly written lines and godawful execution. Bakuto is one of the worst villains in MCU history for me and even the talented Sigourney Weaver felt boring and monotone, much like Bakuto, and I just felt the entire Hand angle weighed down the first half of The Defenders Saga and I was happy to see them killed-off, not because the heroes won, but because they were going away.
When you look at excellent villains that Marvel Television gave us such as Kingpin, Kilgrave, and Cottonmouth, it’s baffling that the same people gave us the charismatically devoid Fingers of The Hand and built an entire miniseries around them.
That being said, there was a lot of good to be found here, and all of that revolved around The Defenders themselves. When they were together on-screen, talking, bickering, or fighting, the show was entertaining and enjoyable. Yes, I would have liked to have seen them face a better foe, but the interactions between the four Defenders were not only intriguing and exciting, but even funny at times, which was a nice change of pace for this Saga.
In watching these shows back-to-back-to-back for these reviews, I have to admit that all of the darkness gets to feeling pretty heavy at times, so the little bits of levity we got here (usually from Jessica Jones of all people) helped the flow of the series.
Ultimately, I can’t not recommend The Defenders. If you’re a fan of any of the individual shows that came before it, you’ll find some enjoyment in following the arc of the hero that got you here. Daredevil especially is left in a very different place than he was at coming out of Daredevil: Season Two. In the end though, I can’t help but feel that this series could have – and should have – been better.
