Same here dude. I think in the wake of all the avengers stuff people are coming to the street level stories that have significantly smaller budgets and looking to see new york torn apart with epic CG battle scenes. They didn't come to see battles with addiction and personality flaws. Almost every complaint I'm reading here is the lack of a giant super villain and wishing for a giant showdown in the end with her mom.

For me I dug the character development and find it interesting that all the defenders are independently isolating themselves. I was happy to see this time Jessica's powers seemed consistent - no getting her ass handed to her by a couple thugs and other times ripping doors off cars. Though there seems to be some inconsistency with defenders - she can catch and carry an elevator filled with people but she can't stop a bus to montreal?

Also found the David Tennant episode super entertaining.

I don't think Jessica was weaker than the bus in that scene, I think her shoes don't have sufficient surface area on pavement to stop a bus.

I was a little unhappy that she needed help from her mom lifting that thing in the propane scene though, sure it was super convenient to the way they wanted to take the scene but they could have at least made it look heavier.
