The plot was just god awful; I seriously cannot believe it got put through. Everything that's been building up since DD season one is either still not explained or you wish it stayed a mystery.
-What the fuck was the Black Sky, and why was it so significant to The Hand? At the end of the day, it turned out to be Elektra, who merced Sigourney Weaver and then just continued her agenda anyway. The Black Sky was hyped up as this anti-Christ figure, but no dice here.
-Who was the mysterious Madam Gao? Just some immortal bitch who was homesick. There's no greater plan than that.
-What was in that hole the Hand was digging? Apparently some dragon bones to keep their immortality and resurrection gigs going. Also, a path to Kun L'un, I guess.
-The destruction of NYC is a byproduct of their digging; there's no real ideology or purpose for destroying the city. They just want them dragon bones. If this is an actual Hand prophecy, it's up there with Gulf oil spills.
-What exactly did Danny Rand contribute to this horseshit? He was The Chosen One, but Matt was the only guy that ever had a real handle on what was going on and how to deal with it. Danny also got kidnapped multiple times, and got tricked into punching a magic wall. Fuck him.
-Apparently, the writers in charge of Defenders never got any notes the Daredevil and Iron Fist writers had, so they were forced to make shit up to get this show out on time and under-budget. That makes sense, but man, what a missed opportunity.
