It was an action-packed finale for The Defenders. Explosions, sacrifices, and Danny Rand looking confused and angry. Everything you would expect from such an episode. We finally learned what the Hand were trying to get to beneath Midland Circle. They are somehow harvesting the dragon bones we saw at the end of the last episode…
We’re getting very near the end game on The Defenders. The heroes are building bonds, the villains are losing their patience, and all the supporting characters are still off in the police station trying not to get murdered. But there was some pretty significant murder this episode. Here’s our recap of episode 6, “Ashes, Ashes.”…
Apparently The Defenders require less recovery time than I do after scarfing down Chinese food. They’re immediately in a very tiring looking fight with the Hand after their short reprieve in “The Royal Dragon.” This episode, “Take Shelter,” not only has the heroes score their first major victory (kind of), but it also really showcases…
If we learned anything from The Avengers, it’s that fighting supervillainy in a group setting must immediately be followed up with food. The Defenders traded in the shawarma of their tights wearing contemporaries for some very tasty looking Chinese food. I actually ate Chinese take-out the same night I watched this episode. Guys! They’re just…
Not only does the group finally team up in episode 3, but we see what The Defenders are truly capable of. Namely, beating up bad guys in hallways. What an action scene that was. With that being said, the Hand still hasn’t developed past bad guys who want to do bad stuff. But we’re learning…
The premiere episode of The Defenders had everything you would expect from our four super-powered (don’t call them) heroes. Luke Cage stood up for his neighborhood. Jessica Jones dove into a mysterious disappearance. Daredevil wrestled with his two lives. And Iron Fist… wasn’t sure what to do and complained about the Hand. Episode 2 developed…
Have you finished all eight episodes of The Defenders yet? It’s the risk of a bingeable series. You have about a day before the spoilers are out there online. Well we’re going to take a more deliberate pace going through the show. Look for our recaps about once a week. If you watched it all…
What up nerds, and welcome back (again) to the internet! That time of week again – i.e. “the end,” where I get to fill you in on everything you may have missed in the world of geek during this chaotic cacophony that is modern life. As usual, things have continued to happen – which is good…
Well, yesterday was busy. Stephen King’s “magnum opus,” The Dark Tower, which is made up of eight books, (a heptalogy plus one – they haven’t come up with a name for it yet), is apparently being made into a film. It seems that everyone had forgotten that it was happening, what with Star Wars and…
The impressive spectacle that is New York Comic Con hit its apex late Saturday afternoon when the main stage was conquered by Marvel and Netflix. The casts of both the hugely successful Daredevil and the upcoming Jessica Jones series greeted the packed theater to deafening cheers. I’ll admit that even this fairly reserved writer screeched like…
