Punisher too fits that mold. Going into those 3 yeah you expect guilt/self flagellation and grim darkness. I agree they feel in love with the idea that they could do things they couldn't in MCU-proper and the easiest way to go with R rated is to go for that tone.

Edit: Well easiest to go into R Rating and not have Porky's style humor/raunchiness.

Punisher, Daredevil and Jessica Jones have always been darker characters with darker storylines. Luke Cage, on his own, has always dealt with the social problems associated with "inner city" life and, he became a more grim character once he moved into Jessica Jone's orbit. Even Iron Fist saw darker storylines and action in the "The Immortal..."

It's hard to put a positive or light-hearted spin on, brainwashing, sex trafficking, rape, murder-for-hire, government conspiracies, ninja death-cults and the light.

Netflix didn't fall in love with anything other than the source material (i.e., Marvel Knights renditions of the characters).

Tonal variety for its own sake should not be a thing. If it supports the character that's another story.

Iron Fist should've focused more on the supernatural aspects of the story instead of the Meachum family dynamic. It could've been incredibly dark and much more interesting. If they didn't want to give it a budget, at least make it a fun little homage to old kung fu movies. Anything would've been better than what we ended up with. Iron Fist comics are usually highly entertaining (at least to me), the show was a real slog.

I don't consider Luke Cage to be as dark a show as JJ or Daredevil, I actually think the tone for that show is spot on.
