Last night, I watched the first episode of Marvel's Defenders that aired on Netflix a few days ago. The one thing I was curious about the series leading up to its debut was how they were going to mesh all the different styles together into one cohesive story. The answer, as of episode 1, is still unclear, because every scene with Luke Cage in it felt like I was watching Luke Cage. Everything was done just right, from the way people talked, to the warm yellow lights shining through the windows and being contrasted with blacks giving it a warm yet cramped feel.
The same went with Jessica Jones. All her scenes were lit with blues, whites, and blacks, making it feel really cold and mysterious, just like in her standalone show that was noir inspired. Daredevil and Iron Fist were a bit closer together, because the feel of those series didn't necessarily have to do with how they were lit or how they spoke, but more on the interactions between the other characters - and both of them punched a lot of people.
In conclusion, I am still curious how each individual style will collide and will continue watching it for the foreseeable future, because while all the scenes felt a little disjointed between each other, they were still enjoyable to watch.
