Marvel's The Defenders: 8 Things That Must Happen

8. A Return To Great Action Sequences

One of the things Marvel's Netflix shows have become known for is their awesome action sequences. Daredevil is the obvious highlight in this area, as season one's iconic hallway fight has been replicated (but arguably never matched) in most of the subsequent seasons. Unfortunately, Iron Fist let the side down on this front, with lots of dull or messy choreography.

For The Defenders, though, we hope the show manages to return to Daredevil-level action scenes. Come on, it features four times the super-powered heroes as normal - that has to make the fights more dynamic, right? In particular, the blend of the Defenders' different combat styles - i.e. the ninja-trained Iron Fist and Daredevil, the walking powerhouse that is Luke, the brawling Jessica - should by rights make the action fresh and interesting. It could dissolve into a mess of punches flying everywhere, but with some thought and effort put behind it, The Defenders could result in some fantastic fights.

Unfortunately, according to many critics who have already seen the first episodes, the fight scenes in the early half of the series are few and far between and aren't much cop when they do occur. While that is undoubtedly disappointing to hear, there is still every chance that there could be some awesome action to come in the later episodes as the excitement and drama ramps up.
