Belated Jessica Jones rant
Ever since the show started there's been the recurring theme of Jessica doing things by the book: get proof, get criminal, send to jail.
So when Jessica encountered the first antagonist AKA Kilgrave, she tries her routine while also knowing that no normal jail can hold him, so she tries the next best alternative to that but when all fails, she ends up forced to kill him.
In season 2, Alisa is the antagonist. Again she tries her routine but when Alisa does go to jail, it's the wrong kind, she's too strong and unstable for normal prison, (despite having accepted a deal which would not send her to The Raft) and because that fails, she ends up dead too.
In season 3, Trish is the secondary antagonist, and she forces Jessica's hand to fight her. Eventually she does send her to jail, the "right" kind according to Jessica, The Raft. And it works, Jessica sacrifices her best friend, the only family she has left in order to not have her end up like the other antagonists whose stints in confinement did not work.
And I suppose it does seem like a consistent sequence of events for the series but it does not make it a fair one. Because how do you send the weakest of the antagonists to the strongest of prisons?
Is it because Trish was never arrested by the NYPD first? Because they did not have the great Jeri Hogarth who can strike deals out of thin air representing Trish? Because the evidence against Alisa Jones is much more damning than anything Trish did (literally just killed criminals).
IMO it was a cop out by writers who knew the series was ending with no future plans of a reboot, and wanted to leave with a bang. Not a bad watch at all, but sure a messed up one.

Whenever I think about Bucky and Zemo doing it in Zemo's cell in The Raft, I start laughing because I think about the other ppl being imprisoned there just like... watching in horror (or hornt)
Zemo: OH, ✨ JAMES ✨ THAT FEELS SO GOOD.
Bucky: Yeah, you like that?
Trish: ...

genuinely cannot express how funny daredevil is. matt defends people for high level felonies and then goes out and commits those same felonies and gets mad at frank for committing a different set of felonies. he goes to church and is like “father i committed a felony. i’m sorry :( i am gonna do it again tho :/” and the priest SHOULD be like “what the fuck. you know that’s a crime right. and your voice isn’t unrecognizable. it’s the middle of the day and this is a small church. matt get back here. matt. matt.” except that doesn’t happen and the priest just asks if he wants coffee. it’s hilarious.

god, i am a sucker for crossovers. the defenders? i eat that shit up. i get so giddy when characters have even the smallest of interactions. whenever i see claire or any of the other characters have cameos or get mentioned? i'm kicking my feet and giggling bc karen page's name was so much as mentioned in iron fist, what about it?
i mean, c'mon, just... YES, please. world's colliding. gotta love it.

netflix’s defenders high school AU is coming so soon you guys 👁️ it’s more or less a breakdown of every possible dynamic / pairing in a high school setting but if enough people like it i’d be so game to specifically write fics while referencing lore.
i’ll say right now that matt foggy and karen DID become friends in a way similar to how they did in daredevil .. just without the dead man. i’ll also say underrated friendships like colleen and claire + colleen and jess have a lot of coverage because this fandom doesn’t talk about them enough. ironwing is also very canon ANDNANDAND kastle slowburn + frank and amy do in fact meet and maintain a similar bond:)
okay that’s all i’ll say for now. if you have any requests for duos you’d maybe wanna see featured, requests are so open.
