#((characters be really into parkour. but i love it. i love it. i cant deny who i am. im a disabled person who loves to watch parkour))

[truckbed]

due to the way jakes character functions ive been having to develop him a bit more than my others before fully being able to pick him up, im being vague mostly because im experimenting with how im portraying certain things in his character but one thing thats really important is a rotating wheel of VERY strong interests.

that being said, Jake was a gymnast at one point

Defenders Watch Through Review

I spent the day watching Defenders, and I have mixed feelings. On one hand I LOVE the characters and their interactions, the way it was filmed, those colour palettes, the way the shots were framed… But the whole plot was just weak. It was short, there was no mid-way investigating ti find the puzzles, everything was practically handed to them, the villains were underdeveloped and as fantastic as Sigourney Weaver’s voice over speeches were, she was never really that threatening to me.

Anyway I made notes as I watched through and they are gold.

Ep 1: I don’t know how to feel about this dark rainy fight. I can’t tell what is going on. The fighting is so pretty though. I love the opening! That music, the beat in the middle, the COLOURS. Jessica naming the episode ‘the H Word’ is perfect. Also her whiskey coffee. Jessica is perfect. The way they filmed the Harlem scenes through other stuff, in fact they are filming a lot of shots through other frames and I love it. MATT, this is the first time I've seen him since DDs2 and I've missed him. I'm so happy we get to ser him in his element in court, we've been denied that until now and that is a crime. This is also the first time we’ve seen Karen and Matt since he told her and they're still cute, but not romantically. I also wish Karen wouldn't treat Matt like an addict, I've seen a meta about this and why it makes sense but it comes across as her and Foggy being constricting to Matt and I don't like it. Watching this, I’d be happy with a massive conglomeration where they don’t even meet, just put the next seasons of these guys together because it’s so satisfying watching them go from one scene to another with the main four Danny has his own plane, I don't know why I'm surprised. And wait is that PTSD, could that be GOOD CHARACTER development and writing what is this? The scene changes though like an old film reel or slide show. I love them. I wish they used a few less because they're a bit disruptive but I love them. Malcom: "Hey" Jessica: "No" Danny gets back and New York literally has an earthquake, I feel like that's saying something. I like Danny though, I wish they did his character more justice than IFs1 did

Ep 2: Jessica is going to punch someone with that kind of title. Plot twist that it was Danny punching Luke, I'm disappointed I want Jess punching someone. Oh wow, I wany Matt to parkour HE DID PARKOUR HE DID SOME FIGHTING I’VE MISSED MY DD FIX I can't believe Matt managed to punch someone before Jessica If Danny ends up accidentally punching this wall gonna be so annoyed. Okay, this also makes me annoyed because telling me the plot five episodes before it happens meant the whole rest of the plot felt...dull, predictable. Danny was going to break that wall down, great, thanks for telling us what's going to happen in five episodes. Matt’s being treated like an addict wow, I don't like it. I get it, and he's trying to stop so they're being supportive but Foggy, that is savage Elektra nooooo Danny V Luke like Luke looking mildly irritated and Danny just hitting him like a fly, the best Iron Fist fight so far. Thus far very happy with the IF fights.

Ep 3: Poor Elektra, I like her in this. By the end I'm confused what she's doing but I think she made a better villain than Sigourney Weaver did I can’t believe Stick cut off his own hand Matt. And Jessica! My faves! Meeting. I'm here for this. I see how this is going, Luke is going to comment how he got punched by a guy with a glowing fist and Claire is going to go “ah, I know that is” It happened "You punched me." "You punched me first." They’re like kids, I love it. Heroes for Hire here we come. Matt’s stalking Jess who wants to bet--no, wait, Jessica is stalking Matt now this is hilarious. "I have pictures, asshole," and then Matt is an asshole and smashes her camera. To be fair I can't believe how savage Jessica was "I'll punch you so hard you'll see."

Ep 4: "We need to kill the lights." "How do you even know they’re on." Jessica has her priorities in the right place, I appreciate that. Her realism is nice. The four ribbing each other out, this is definitely my favourite scene so far. "I even put on a tie! Danny is adorable" DID JESS THROW THAT CAR IN

Ep5: Did Luke just get hit by a garbage truck this wasn’t what I meant by calling them my trash squad Matt and Elektra are tragic. I love their chemistry, they're so bad for each other and that's what I love. I’m glad we’re getting so much Colleen This feels a little like DDs2.5 and IFs1.5, I want the others to get a bit more input. It's not going to happen, not with their s2 around the corner but I think it would be nice. Scarf looked better, I agree, Jess. Much better than the horns. I love the lighting of this whole thing That Colleen and Claire scene Matt “I don't kill people” damn near kills a guy, double standards wow This is the point I wish Karen or Trish had been more influential, and the others had to actually find something more out because this is where the plot strings along before the inevitable big bad battle.

Ep 6: Can Matt not hang his pictures straight or something? He's playing up the blind thing there a little bit. I'm pretty sure he could try a little harder than that. Matt and Jess detectiving together is something I always wanted and I’m getting it. The directing is brilliant, have I said how much I like the lighting and the shots? Danny and Luke moments, yeeeeesssss, I really wanna see Heroes for Hire now, I need them being friends I’m glad this is only 8 eps, because they like to slow down around 2/3 the way through to string along the last pieces and it gets a bit slow, and knowing there are only two eps left means I know it will speed up instead of there being five eps left. Either that or I wish they'd added a few more plot stages, the ending is inevitable now. Danny don't do something stupid I cant believe this is literally about everyone wanting Danny. I also can’t believe Danny spent the whole episode tied to a chair. It's such a coincidence that everyone was fed up with the show and here everyone feels that way about the character. “How can you enjoy watching all this death?” my mum asks as Sigourney Weavey tells Elektra to kill the Defenders. “There’s not that much death.” I say, and then Elektra stabs her, “Okay, I was not expecting that.” Wasn’t expecting that at all, Elektra, I think I'm in love with that plot twist

Ep 7: Almost there, here we go So glad each Defender has their own colour "Here is my professional legal opinion... you need to break out of the precinct" Can’t believe Jessica is stealing alcohol from homeless people now Are Jess and Luke beating on an old lady now? I appreciate how much Colleen there is, have I said that? Danny behind that dragon spread out like his tattoo was eerie

Ep 8: was it worth it spending my day watching this? Yes, yes it was What’s that sound? (Sword fight continues in the background) Better Iron Fist story than Iron Fist was I thought Matt was gonna kiss Danny for a minute, but no, bro talk Oo Elevator fighting, I can't believe Jessica was so quick to get out of it, I literally thought she was ditching. Also really glad everyone is using martial arts and there was Jessica, throwing the enemy into the roof Okay so Matt hasn’t been daredevilling. But he must have kept in shape because his fighting skills are better than ever I spent the whole series half hoping for Punisher and knowing it wasn’t gonna happen. That's so sad. Hang in there, Jess That fight between Matt and Elektra was everything, and that ending was perfect Matt? No, he can’t be dead, Matt how please you’ve got a s3 YOU CAN’T BE DEAD I hope Misty gets a mechanical arm and is badass. I mean she’s badass anyway. But Matt though… This definitely felt like an Iron Fist and DD sequel rather than Luke Cage and JJ As cute as Luke and Claire are I hope there is room for a Danielle Cage in the future I want to see an Iron Fist mask from you Danny I wanted more Jessica from this Yay new Alias sign Matt wHY arE you on rOoF are oh wait its Danny I want a mask, Danny, although I like the track suit Oh there’s Matt. And your mom’s around somewhere. I wanted a Punisher trailer too but I guess that was to hope for Wow that was a ride. Not perfect, but definitely a team up that was worth it to watch.

THERE IS MY PUNISHER TEASER HELL YEAH
