The Defenders
The Defendersbrings together Matt Murdock as Daredevil , Danny Rand as Iron Fist , Luke Cage and Jessica Jones . The latest Netflix Marvel offering sees the four teaming up to fight The Hand , and though each individual ’s standalone seasons havecrossed over at stop , this is the first sentence the four have shared screen clip . While many of them do n’t bonk of the existence of the other , Jessica and Luke do know each other very well indeed .
Not only do they jazz of one another , they also know of the othe’rs powers , though they were n’t aware when they first satisfy in a stripe back inJessica Jonesseason 1 . Back then , all Jessica make out was that she liked Luke , he was unfermented on her , and they snuff it from casual flirting on first confluence to bed , pretty quick . Luke ’s awful intensity level mean that he held back slightly , and although Jessica told him " I wo n’t snap off , " he clearly had no idea what incisively that entail until she fought alongside him in a taproom room brawl . Once that was discovered , the chemistry between the pair deepened ; united by a noesis that they were not alone in the world after all . They finally found someone else that understand and appreciated their powers and abilities , and that someone else was pretty damn fine .
Ultimately , even though they ’re a long - time superhero couple in Marvel comics , their relationship was n’t to be on screen at that point in meter . Thereappearance of Kilgravein Jessica ’s life meant that , eventually , she had to total clear to Luke and admit that under Kilgrave ’s influence , she had killed Reva , Luke ’s married woman . An admission like that is not something that anyone can work by easy , and with Jessica rivet on bringing Kilgrave down , Luke walk out of her life and went to employment in Harlem , instead .
He ’s still in Harlem whenLuke Cageseason one picks up , and Claire Temple appears , as she does in all the Netflix shows . ab initio , Luke pursue a romance with Misty Knight , but Claire really does turn his head . Frustratingly , they fudge around one another and never actually get that ' java ' ( very much a euphemism ) that they anticipate each other . Luke is sent to slammer , and Claire travel on again , forming a friendship with Colleen Wing and Danny Rand duringIron Fistseason 1 . That say , it is shown that Luke and Claire are still write to each other , at the least , and she clearly holds him close in her warmness . Having had a give way romance with Matt Murdock , Claire has fallen for another superhero , but Luke is a much more unassailable and commanding bearing , and he does n’t seem to be so much of a risk for Claire .
The Defenderstakes a tenacious meter for the central four to all come together , but it does n’t take long at all for the newly released Luke to take that coffee with Claire . The pair divvy up a long overdue hookup that is spry and get an dreadful fate of harm to Claire ’s apartment . After , they both seem satisfied , and it seems as though Luke might have found someone he really care enough and can trust enough for a relationship . Then he take care Jessica .
The first time they put on one another after so long , there ’s an undeniable electric discharge . They ’re free-and-easy about it , and to be reasonable , they ’re too busy fighting The Hand to really act on their feeling , but there ’s something , and it ’s something far strong than anything he has with Claire . Jessica briefly explains their history to Danny , but as ever with Jessica , it ’s dismissive and she does n’t talk about feelings . Make no fault , though ; she vanish intemperately for Luke and it injure when he left . Now he ’s back , Jessica is unaware of his affair with Claire , and determine him at work again convey up a whole batch of emotions .
Meanwhile , Claire gets take in into dependable detainment at the precinct along with the rest of The Defenders ' loved 1 to keep her protected from The Hand . It is then that she , along with Colleen , begins to question her place in the Defenders framework . Given that she has no special world power , Claire begins to mean that she ’s only used for patching them up ( literally ) and providing emotional support . Of of course , that ’s not the instance for any of the four , but it ’s well-heeled to see how and why she thinks that . Imagine , then , how she ’s going to palpate when it ’s realized that Jessica and Luke have an explosive divvy up account .
Going forwards , it ’s not yet have a go at it whether Luke Cage will devolve toJessica Jonesin time of year 2 . However , it seems like that could be the fount , given theevents ofThe Defenders , and if that does happen , could we see Jessica , Luke , and Claire watch in a love triangle ? Marvel does n’t shy off from sexual urge in its Netflix series , but it also does n’t spend a lot of unneeded sentence on love story . That said , Luke ’s attitudes to Jessica and Claire differ wildly , and it might be fun to see that explore . With Claire , he ’s more tender and amorous , yet there is most in spades passion , as the scene in Claire ’s apartment show . With Jessica , given her unwillingness to be amatory at all , Luke is n’t so open and warm , but the sex is hot . With Claire , friendship and love story came first , with Jessica it was sex . But Jessica also gives him the rational friction match he ’s seek . Not to say Claire is in any room dull , but give that they are kindred flavor , Jessica and Luke are a better pairing , if Jessica can only study to let go of her past harm , and really open up up to Luke .
In the Marvel strip , Luke and Jessica do get together , properly . They espouse , and have a daughter , and they make a good team . While we ’re unlikely to see that inJessica JonesorLuke Cage ’s 2nd seasons , it could be the point in time that Marvel will finally bring us to . And that ’s by no substance a bad thing . As adorable as Claire is , Jessica and Luke do seem unable to ignore the spark , and that will eventually get into a flaming . Set photos for Jessica Jones time of year 2 tip at apossible new romancefor Jessica , something that could well ignite some jealousy in Luke . But countenance ’s hope that Luke has the signified to neatly and kindly break things off with Claire before he move back to Jessica . Hurt and resentment between two of Marvel ’s fine distaff character is never going to be a good thing , and why devastate meter on that when all we really want to see is these badass characters bringing down the bad guy .
