You see, it sounds like <em>Born Again<\/em> is going to be a <em>Defenders <\/em>reunion, and poor execution of these characters\u2019 return may sabotage the development of a new <em>Jessica Jones<\/em> show.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>The Return of the Queen<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Most of the new information we have about Jessica Jones\u2019 return comes from Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum and his recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. He confirmed that in <em>Born Again<\/em> Season 2, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/jessica-jones\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jessica Jones;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Jessica Jones<\/a> would \u201cbe part of this resistance that Matt is trying to build\u201d against the Kingpin.

However, there\u2019s just one problem: when EW asked Winderbaum about other Defenders like Luke Cage and Danny Rand also coming back in <em>Daredevil: Born Again<\/em>, he demurred and said, \u201cThe less I say, the better.\u201d He then went on to describe how showrunner Dario Scardapane would be trying to give the series a <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/game-of-thrones\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Game of Thrones;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Game of Thrones<\/a><\/em>-like \u201cepic\u201d feel and returned to EW\u2019s question by stating, \u201cSo I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s exactly about who\u2019s gonna show up.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>The Gang\u2019s All Here<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/jp__gOxcb5UuSkL6.vTq3Q--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/d2e7d605aaf215382c0db4bb5bd2704c\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In case you\u2019re not fluent in corporate doublespeak, Winderbaum\u2019s evasive answers are a sure sign that you can expect to see Luke Cage and Danny Rand make a return in <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/daredevil\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Daredevil;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Daredevil<\/a>: Born Again<\/em>, Season 2. That\u2019s great news for fans of the original <em>Defenders<\/em> show and fans who are hoping to see an onscreen reunion between charismatic lovers Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. However, it sounds like Winderbaum wants to use <em>Born Again<\/em>\u2019s many cameos to soft-launch some new solo shows, and this approach is doomed to failure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Why is that? The original <em>Defenders<\/em> followed the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/marvel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Marvel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Marvel<\/a> movie formula, introducing several new characters in successful solo shows before having them come together for an ambitious ensemble series. Now, though, Marvel is going in reverse by transforming a solo show into an ensemble show, a move that is likely to disappoint fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To see why, just go look at the critical feedback of <em>Defenders<\/em>. Even those who liked the show complained that it relied too much on action scenes to make up for a slow plot and lackluster characterization. A relatively common complaint among critics and fans alike was that if you didn\u2019t already know who these characters are and what their deal is, thanks to everyone\u2019s solo series, you\u2019d basically have no idea what the heck is going on.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>This Superhero Reunion Is Already Doomed<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"507\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/T3Gr5ZI7OT0EmlWgadsd7A--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/a144ecfe753cf231186cc4b9c8574b67\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We know who the Defenders <strong>were<\/strong>, but not who they <strong>are<\/strong>, which is important because <em>Daredevil: Born Again<\/em> Season 2 takes place about 10 years after we last saw most of these characters (with the notable exception of Daredevil himself) onscreen. That means that <em>Born Again<\/em> is going to have to take the time to properly reintroduce us to Jessica Jones and the other two Defenders if they want audiences to care about any of their subsequent solo shows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But <em>Born Again<\/em> won\u2019t be able to do that because fully re-developing three other major heroes would take the focus away from Daredevil himself. That means characters that Marvel has ignored for about a decade are likely to get short shrift in the new show, and audiences just won\u2019t care all that much about their return. Worst case, we\u2019ll get an overstuffed show that, like <em>Defenders<\/em> before it, never gives any one hero time to shine.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Marvel Is Assigning Fans Homework (Again)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Q5HFFXtm2jC1D_JEg6rY0g--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/6900d4562ef8e6685071c7b91838dc1d\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even if <em>Daredevil<\/em> does a good job bringing these characters back to the screen, the events of <em>Born Again<\/em> will almost certainly influence the development of their solo shows.
