The hits just keep coming for the various Defenders series. Per Deadline Hollywood, Netflix announced this evening that it has canceled Daredevil, just weeks after the show concluded its critically acclaimed third season. This news shouldn't be too surprising, but this one is a particularly tough blow for fans.
Clearly Netflix is cleaning house, since this follows surprise cancellations in October of Iron Fist and Luke Cage. That just leaves Jessica Jones and The Punisher on Netflex's[sic] roster of Defenders. Both have new seasons in the pipeline that are currently slated to air on Netflix as planned, according to Deadline's sources. But they will, in all likelihood, be on the chopping block eventually as well.
Marvel/Disney may be planning to revive the Defender series on its upcoming streaming service.

There is no law of physics stating that an intelligent and well educated person must be rational, or even sane. We have some notable historical figures to consider. ₐₙ𝒹, ᵢ'ₘ ₙₒₜ ₑᵥₑₙ ₜₕᵢₙₖᵢₙ𝓰 ₐᵦₒᵤₜ ₐᵣᵢₛₜₐᵣ𝒸ₕᵤₛ ₕₑᵣₑ.

I agree, but there'a pretty good rule of thumb that a rational character is more capable of evoking a simpatico reaction in a rational audience; I submit that the hero, at least, pretty much needs to do that, and particularly when said hero's been doing that previously and that's how the audience thinks of them.
Jessica Jones is pretty twisted; but as she's been that way from day one, I find it pretty easy to accept. It doesn't make her prone to stupidity all that often in the storyline, which I find more tolerable than fictional depictions of smart people consistently doing dumb things (or dumb people consistently doing dumb things, for that matter.)

On the other hand, most of reality wouldn't work at all as movie.
