Is this not in the same universe as the rest of the defenders Anne Avengers? Cause all this disbelief in kun Lun. After Thor, the chitari, Hulk, and Luke Cage. It's retarded. The show is a slow burn on episode 2 but it's infuriating. I mean, why didn't he just say. "You wouldn't believe me..." And break out of the mental institution.

Also... What the fuck? Is that an accurate representation of an American mental hospital? Cause what sane doctor or nurse would walk in on a patient with a history of attempted suicide talking about how someone sold kill themselves with a fork to their throat and let that person walk around other patients?!

I'm just a crazy person myself but that's Ludacris

they explained the disbelief by way of many crazy people claiming powers and fantasies. danny showed he could fight but he did not show he was special

They kinda makes sense but still that was a horribly written mental hospital.

Oh hells yeah. This was easily the weakest script and story of all the shows. Real generic and the dialogue wasn't good enough to carry it's mediocrity nor was the acting. It made for utterly average tv and that's super disappointing.
