Danny won't be the leader, but he will have the most knowledge of the Hand and the Seven Cities and be the "come on, guys, stop arguing, we need to get our shit together" guy.
Jessica will spend most of her time rolling her eyes.
Danny and Luke will be the Tony and Steve of the group.
There are so many reasons for them to butt heads:
- Both are natural alpha males.
- Both have a romantic interest in Claire
- Then when you consider their styles of crime-fighting, tension seems inevitable. Luke openly walks the streets in broad daylight pimpslapping criminals and became a celebrity, common criminals are easily dispatched and present no threat. Matt on the other hand prowls the rooftops at night, each night could be his doom and he is more than willing to use torture to get information. Their M.O.s and outlooks are very different.
- Matt, despite his vigilantism, vehemently believes in the rule of law and the judicial construction of guilt and innocence, whereas the law and related authorities (experiment in prison) have screwed Luke over again and again.
I think that Matt and Luke will gain one another's respect and trust by the end of the series, but they may not necessarily like one another.
Luke will forgive Jessica and accept that while she's pretty screwed up, she's not malicious in intent.
Only Luke and Danny will be genuine friends by the end of the Defenders. Danny likes rap and hip-hop, Luke likes Kung-Fu, it's a match made in heaven.
I think there's a good chance Claire bites it in episode 6 or 7, which brings them all together (Coulson style) to really bring it to the Hand in the final episode or couple of episodes.
I think Stick might die too, but I can see them saving that for Daredevil.
