Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Iron Fist is considered the worst of The Defenders series due to a lackluster protagonist, mediocre side characters, and pacing issues.
• The Defenders, though enjoyable to watch, feels more like an extension of Daredevil than its own show, and fails to add relevance to non-Daredevil heroes' stories.
• Daredevil is the best Defenders show, with compelling characters, impressive fight scenes, and the most ruthless villain in Kingpin. Its cancelation came after a conclusive ending, and the character is crossing over to the MCU.

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe slowly introducing characters from Netflix's The Defenders saga, rewatching the highlights makes sense, so here's every Defenders show ranked from worst to best. The Defenders saga consists of six series, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher, which all debuted on Netflix, beginning with Daredevil in April 2015. Unfortunately, the platform canceled all six series, leaving their stories largely unresolved.
In early 2021, The Defenders shows moved to Disney+, hinting at a possible integration into the MCU. Moreover, the move signaled potential to explore the stories that Netflix ended prematurely, which Marvel and Disney now have an opportunity to continue or shift direction and offer new life to the characters. Despite their graphic violence and significantly darker tone than the movies, The Defenders series' are undoubtedly beginning to play an important, though much less grisly, part in the MCU timeline. The six series share other commonalities, like featuring Rosario Dawson as faithful friend Claire Temple, but also have distinct differences that evoke debate over which is superior. Here is every Marvel/Netflix Defenders show, ranked from worst to best.
