another disappointment by marvel.

I don't know if anyone else is annoyed but really this sounds like a big bag of suck. Half the characters were never defenders and the other half were heroes for hire that worked for the cash. And its not the defenders without Dr. Strange or at least at the helm. Why not call it something else and save that name for an actual defenders story. Geeze when are the studio execs gonna realize we who read comics won't watch or like the crap they peddle and will nerd slap anyone who says its good. That said dead pool gets a passing grade but only barely.

The Netflix series have been a huge hit and the movies are box office and critical successes. They don't give a sh/$ what you think.

The Defenders is going to be great. The OP is probably a DC troll.

Both seasons of Daredevil have been really good and I really enjoyed Jessica Jones as well. This combined with how many other quality shows Netflix has released and I have faith that this mini series will also be well done.

So it has to be just like in the comic books. Is there a written rule like that? I mean "it will be awful unless there are the same exact characters from the comics".

Idk what some people really expect from a super hero tv show.

completely agree with you mate, ever since they started their big marvel cinema universe crap it's as if their selling sprite and calling it coca cola

Well, you're more than welcome to your opinion, as that is your right. But don't pretend like your opinion is that of the masses.

It's been Marvel's long-stated stance that the movies exist inside one of the many parallel universes (specifically Earth-199999). It's the same reason that things like the What If? micro-universes, the animated series' (Earth-92131), the Ultimate universe (Earth-1610), and the 2099 universe (Earth-928) (to name a few) are different from the main universe (Earth-616).

Look, you can rant and rave until you're blue in the face (much like I do about Apple), but don't think that because you, or a select few, disagree with the choices made or the way things are done, that it constitutes reason for Marvel to jump to those whims and change things.
Daredevil and Jessica Jones have been widely popular because they balance the comic book-esque creativity with grittier stories and more widely-accepted content, and soon Luke Cage, Defenders, Iron Fist, and possibly The Punisher will release and stand the test to see if they can be as popular.

TL;DR: I'm glad to hear you have an opinion, but don't think that opinion entitles you to tell Marvel they're wrong when the majority says they're right.

Disclaimer: These are my opinions. You're welcome to not agree with them, just don't be an ass.
