      Moon Knight is one of the darkest heroes in the Marvel Universe and is a very interesting character. Blade is a big character in the marvel universe aswell and allows Netflix to use vampires aswell. Its about time to see blade back on screen.

    When I was 6 years in in 1976 I had my appendix removed and had to stay in the hospital for a few days and my dad brought me a bunch of comic books he bought at a corner store, among them were The Defenders #34, it featured the 1st appearance of Nebulon The Celestial. Doctor Strange #12 & 13, DC Superstars feat. The Flash and a few others. Those dozen or so comics changed my life.
    Star Wars also started it's 1st run in 1976 and I was a huge Star Wars fan right from the start. 47 years old now and I still feckin' love comics and Star Wars...except that prequel bullshit.

      MALVINDINHO yes all the superheroes will team up to defeat a being named thanos. The movie will have two parts.the 1st part will be based on thanos collecting the infinity gems to take down the avengers and other people, and the second part will be based on the avengers and other people taking down thanos. Someone might die though

      I know everyone says this but I find it the best way:While the Avengers are going up against Thanos the Defenders are back in New York protecting bystanders from the children of thanos or another chitauri army.Then in part 2 Tony says they need more help so Peter mentions that he's teamed up with someone in Hell's Kitchen so he brings him along

    • @sabilsadat
      @sabilsadat 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Gh Gh There's a lot of trouble between Marvel TV and the movies, mainly schedule conflicts, tone of the content and planning. So if we're like really, really lucky, we might see DD in Avengers 5 probably. I highly doubt it will happen in Infinity War.

    • @professorcomics2736
      @professorcomics2736 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I think everyone is always happy to see Strange, but it makes sense for him not to unless it's for recruiting them for Infinity War, which they are more likely not to. The Hand is more supernatural which would fit his bill, but they want to have them do it themselves I think to show their effectiveness together, so from a writing standpoint the cameo would be something at the end where he recruits them. From a practical standpoint, I don't think he will at all.

I collected nearly 400 comics. until a parent decided to clear out my room threw them away( I managed to save the Sliver Surfer and Ghost Rider from the bin men but nothing else. so I used to own a SS no1-5 and GR 1-10 worth about £350-400)

    @professorcomics2736 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    To be honest, I have read a handful of Defenders issues and they involved Nighthawk, Hellcat and Valkyrie. There were of course other members, but I think of them as big members and they do have a little more consistency than certain members. Strange, Iron Fist, Hulk and Silver Surfer are the most consistent members but I like Hulk more when he is not a member of the team and he even walked away from the Avengers early on. It's also just hard to consistently have him on the team as well, or any team. It would be cool if the 3 characters I mentioned could get together and appear in the background somewhere or even in a book, such as Doctor Strange. It would be cool if there was a story arc in Jason Aarons's Dr. Strange titles where he needs help from them to do that and they are given the chance to appear. That being said, I am really interested to reading Bendis Defenders that is the Netflix team since they say it is good and I like those characters, the latter being the prime reasons why I would read it.I could see them giving the title some significance in the Netflix series since they are defending their home, which is a nice reason for a team name, and still makes sense for the comic as well.

    I was thinking about a fight between the defenders and the Fantastic 4, but actually each defender alone could probably defeat the F4.
    A match would really be Defenders vs Avengers:
    Dr Strange vs Wanda
    Namor vs Captain America
    Hulk vs Thor (or Hulkbuster Ironman?)
    Silver Surfer vs ?? ... That's a tough one. Thor again? (Not sure if Tony Stark could match SS), or maybe Captain Marvel for a change.
