1. Is Alexandra Sowing Conflict Among The Ranks?

Probably.

After all, if you find yourself up against a group of superpowered individuals, divide and conquer is likely your best strategy. Both Loki and Ultron have attempted it in the past. And there's plenty of shots of the four not getting along.

Finding tension is certainly not going to be difficult. Daredevil's no kill policy is going to conflict with Jessica Jones, a woman who didn't hesitate before snapping Kilgrave's neck. Jones, of course, killed Luke Cage's wife, then shot him in the head with a shotgun. Not the best way to make friends. And Iron Fist is Iron Fist. Rand's fish-out-of-water optimistic businessman shtick is probably going to wear down the likes of Murdock and Jones pretty quickly.

Considering this is only their first outing together, and another one might as well be a guarantee, hopefully there won't be too much time spent on in-fighting. We want the four heroes to work together and eliminate all evil in their path.

Obviously tension is going to happen. Glossing over the Jones/Cage drama in particular would be a highly moronic decision. Achieving a nice balance is the key here.

There's eight hours to fill. Please spend as much time as possible kicking bad guy ass.
