1* BillingDisplacement: Naturally, the four leads are billed first, in order that their series came out (Cox, Ritter, Colter, Jones) while Rosario Dawson, Scott Glenn, and Sigourney Weaver are billed last with a With/And modifier. However, all other characters are billed alphabetically. This means that fifth billed is Eka Darville's Malcolm, who has no significant impact on the plot. Meanwhile, Jessica Henwick's Colleen and Simone Missick's Misty are near the back, and, most egregious of all, Elektra (as played by Elodie Yung) receives the lowest billing.
2* ChannelHop: From Netflix to Disney Plus, after Netflix lost the distribution rights in early 2022.
3* TheDanza: Susan Alexandra Creator/SigourneyWeaver plays Alexandra.
4* FakeAmerican:
5** When it comes to the main heroes, Brits Creator/CharlieCox and Creator/FinnJones as Matt Murdock and Danny Rand.
6** Meanwhile in the supporting cast, Australians Creator/RachaelTaylor and Creator/EkaDarville as Trish Walker and Malcolm Ducasse; Brit Creator/JessicaHenwick as Chinese-Japanese and naturalized American Colleen Wing.
7* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: One will notice that Colleen has her hair pinned up in a ponytail in all of her scenes, and there are no scenes of her with her hair loose. According to Creator/JessicaHenwick, this was done so that audiences wouldn't confuse Colleen with Elektra, as Creator/ElodieYung wears her hair loose through all of Elektra's scenes. Ironically, during her scenes in ''Series/Daredevil2015'', Elektra usually has her hair pinned up during fights.
8* SimilarlyNamedWorks: There have been two previous TV shows that have had the title ''Defenders'': one in the 60s and one in the 2010s. They have nothing to do with this series.
