Favre, I am wondering whether we should call it "The Defenders (miniseries)", since it has been explicitly referred to as only a 4-8 ep one-off crossover. - adamstom97 ( talk) 01:15, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
This title is ambiguous - there have been 2 comic book miniseries with this name. Argento Surfer ( talk) 20:14, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
In the latest release from Marvel, it refers to the series as Marvel's Defenders, without the "The".
Looks like Elden Henson told some fans at a convention that he'll be in Defenders. There isn't a usable source, but we should keep an eye out for something. - adamstom97 ( talk) 06:29, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
So since Iron Fist ended on October 8, Finn Jones said in a Facebook Q&A for Luke Cage, that he has about three weeks between the end of Iron Fist and the start of Defenders. So that should put us as starting about October 31, just to keep an eye out around then. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 21:14, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
@ AlexTheWhovian, Favre1fan93, and Adamstom.97: I stand by my with the summary, "The reprisal bit seems trivial, and redundant since the descriptions state who they initially supported or an ally of". The revert did not address these issues. It also reads as bad formulaic writing.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 14:27, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
Can somebody please direct me to the article where it says the episodes for "The Defenders" are going to be 8 hours long. Maybe I'm just not searching hard enough, and maybe the episodes really are 8 hours long, but that just sounds like a ludicrous length for a television show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fewger ( talk • contribs) 20:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Confirmed by Colter, but the info traces back to MCU Exchange with no video or audio to confirm. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 00:44, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
If needed, here. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 18:35, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
The Punisher is apparently in the series. He appears in the first episode and was featured in the latest trailer. Can someone add him to the cast list? Thanks! Npamusic ( talk) 22:48, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
Wanted to bring this up before the episodes are released. On the chance Defenders is renewed, I think this should be moved to have the dab of (2017 TV series), because once a renewal comes (if at all) the fact of it being a "miniseries" no longer applies. At that point, it would just be a series with a short episode count that has multiple seasons. Just wanted others thoughts and to discuss so everyone is on the same page should this happen and we aren't scrambling to have this discussion then. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 01:12, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
"...editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material.This falls into the latter category – anything that is likely to be controversial can and should be re-referenced in the lead. Especially in the case of this article where not one of the cited sources actually uses the word "miniseries" in their reference titles. I don't know where this idea comes from that WP:LEADCITE "bans" referencing in the lede. Because it clearly doesn't... -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 17:42, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
not one of the cited sources actually uses the word "miniseries" in their reference titles). The term is based on what is in the actual articles referenced, not the titles they use. The two in article clearly use this term, and I'm sure many others in the article also use it, so I don't see how there may have been confusion. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 19:05, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
It looks to me that you are being a bit silly here IJBall. This is hardly a controversial topic. We have clearly referenced with reliable sources the fact that the show is a miniseries, and though you seemed to miss that, we have now shown you where to find the information. Now you know, no harm done, and we can move on. It's not like the lead is making an open declaration of something that is dubious or unlikely and needs to be accompanied by supporting citations, which is why we have LEADCITE. And insisting that this is a massive issue just because of a minor mistake that you made is pretty disingenuous. - adamstom97 ( talk) 00:28, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
P.S. BTW we don't choose what the titles of the articles we are referencing say, those come straight from the sources. - adamstom97 ( talk) 00:29, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
So, who chose the article's image/logo? Seriously low-resolution, grainy and terrible coloring. We need to find a better/clearer option for the page as this one looks very mediocre. -- 50.232.205.246 ( talk) 16:38, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
J. Mallory McCree, Michelle Federer and Chloe Levine were in 3 episodes, and Ron Simons was in 2. They should be listed rather in guest section. Mike210381 ( talk) 20:12, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
The series received a nomination for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music at the 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards as indicated here and here. 129.194.0.221 ( talk) 20:33, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
