They've yet to operate past times that, but for the The Defenders, the demo which volition amalgamate their 4 Netflix-bound heroes (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage in addition to Iron Fist), they bring brought something novel to the tabular array - a adept former fashioned Twitter feud.
The heroes bring had their ain respective Twitter accounts for a spell now, but over the past times calendar week or so, they've started communicating amongst each other.

I know, it's a fleck of Sat morning time cereal insult, but the fact remains, these fictional characters are genuinely throwing shade at each other on Twitter. Real profiles used every bit marketing for fictional characters has been a affair since MySpace, but this is nevertheless a real effective application, peculiarly when you lot consider the deeper context: Iron Fist has had a real frosty reception.
Some bring referred to the demo every bit Marvel's showtime existent failure since creating the cinematic universe. It's been called out every bit racially insensitive, dull, meandering, in addition to Jones's portrayal of Iron Fist, aka Danny Rand, has been described every bit unconvincing, to position it mildly. The Jessica Jones tweet is almost straight referencing that. While it's nevertheless brusque of Marvel genuinely owning upwardly to their ain failings, it's a pretty gutsy move.
It's besides in-keeping amongst the character, in addition to form of foreshadows what the dynamic betwixt the 2 volition move when the demo airs. Presumably, it's non over, Iron Fist volition eventually burn downwards back, in addition to at some indicate Cage in addition to Daredevil volition muck in. Whether whatever of the subsequent tweets/retweets/whatever volition move every bit inventive remains to move seen, but it's a hell of a adept start, in addition to some of the best Twitter marketing Marvel has done yet.
