[QUOTE="Derren, post: 7457662, member: 2518"] Its not Dannys background that makes him unlikeable, the same background works for Arrow, but his rather whiny and often times downright stupid (Defenders finale) personality. It doesn't help that the so called martial arts master doesn't fight better than all the sidekicks (once even getting defeated by a single no-name guy). If his hand wouldn't be glowing you would hardly notice that he is supposed to be a superhero. Thankfully his appearance in LC is short so he does not has the time to do something stupid again. All he is there for is 1 fight and to quote fortune cookies. But LC has other problems. As it was already mentioned it is much too long for the story and it isn't helped that you sometimes feel like watching MTV with all the music clips. The combat is also rather boring, but that is because of LCs superpower. Invulnerability is inherently boring. Either it works and there is never any tension or it doesn't and LC is just a random guy. They went with the boring option as they even remove his previous invulnerability. In the beginning of the series he even highlights this by asking the enemies why they are even trying. That is of course quickly forgotten and we get fight after fight where LC just casually walks around punching people while no one can harm him. Like a Bud Spencer movie but without all the comedy. The series also has some logical flaws. Remember season 1 how everyone freaked out that there is a invulnerable guy running around and how far the police went to stop him? Now this guy gets beaten down and no one cares who the one who defeated him is. They don't even bother to find out his name. Season 2 also copies too much from Season 1. You again have the villain switch and you also have the same "previously neutral person gets set up as the next villain" in the end. The only upside is that Season 3 might be a bit different because of where LC ends up, but thats it. Season 2 is never really terrible, but I can't really think of a reason why I would recommend watching it. [/QUOTE]
