Marvel's Jessica Jones (Netflix)

[Jordan-esque]

Premiere tonight.

Episode 1... So twisted.

[bigkingsfan]

So she has super strength and can fly, where have I seen this before.

I'm sorry...call me chauvinistic (I am), but I can't take anything seriously where a weak woman is some tough hero. I've been watching Malcolm in the Middle on Netflix lately as it was one of my favorite shows growing up (i'm the middle child of two brothers so it makes me chuckle thinking about the stupid shit we did lol), and I just can't take a show seriously where some weak looking woman is supposed to be some tough protagonist beating up grown men. This show is for the Ronda Rousey fan club.

Once you accept that she's in a fictional world where super powers exist the fact that she's a woman really has nothing to do with anything.

her beating someone in a fight doesn't make any less sense than nerdy kid Peter Parker if he didn't have powers.

But they have powers. That's the point...

And she doesn't really even do much fighting. she's hardly Captain America or anything. She's a private eye.

[ZeN]

Also, she doesn't fly... it's more like jumping and... falling. (for the tv version anyway.)
She gained her flying ability at a later time. She just didnt have them to start with.

i'm on the 3rd episode so far..it's not as rapey as i thought :D

[ZeN]

For the show? I'm only 3 deep. In the comics she had the power of flight before Killgrave.
Yea I meant in the show. According to show runners if they ever include it will be at a much later time.

Im sorry for the disappointment :lol

So who's stronger Luke Cage or Jessica Jones?

Those empowered women roles are all over the place now, at least this one is supposedly a superhero, other shows and movies are littered with women kicking the shit out of men frequently. It's OK as long as it's women who are beating men on TV though.

This one is much slower in pace (and a lot more boring) than Daredevil, quite difficult to binge watch. Couple episodes a day is all I can take.

Daredevil was slow in pace in the first episodes as well. Don't get me wrong Daredevil was great but people over hype to much.

Two episodes in and I find it really interesting, would be watching more if it wasn't almost 7am :lol

Just finished it. The first few were slow but compelling after that it gets a lot faster paced.

Didn't have a lot of faith in Ritter coming in, but she really impressed me. Tennant pulls off creepy so goddamn well in this it's amazing, and perhaps even more amazing how he can switch back and forth between that and his manic side so easily in this show. I enjoyed his performance as Purple Man way more than Kingpin.

This.

Tennant was a scene stealer. Kingpin got on my nerve near the end. I really liked Daredevil, but I actually like this show better. Twisted, compelling, and none of the episodes felt like a filler. I really like the concept of a person with superpowers doing everything in her power not to become a typical superhero, but trying to remain human.

Should have been working on my paper, but I binged watched till episode 9 last night. Might finish it today.

I wouldn't really call her a human or even trying to remain one. I think the purposes of the flashbacks were to show that after her parents died she never really was a human anymore. quasi-spoiler: She struggled to accept that at first but embraced it which you'll see later on....

But then after Kilgrave ****ed her up she lost any semblance of humanity she had gained back after her family died, so she was fractured even more. She couldn't live with herself anymore because of the things she did under his control, and so after that we found her as a shell of a person. She shunned her powers for the most part. Whereas before Kilgrave she was finally starting to embrace them, and was intending to use them for a greater good.

[BoogieWoogieMan]

Yeah, I get what you mean now, after watching the scene in your white text. Still, it's refreshing to watch a show about a superhero that does not want to be one with a legit reason.

Tennant's Kilgrave is my favorite Marvel movie/tv villain currently. Damn, he really did a good job.

[LikeMike]

Early in the season. It is fine, but not as nice as Daredevil.

[magic chiongson]

i was hoping for a daredevil/matt murdoch cameo :(

[zoom17]

I like to pace my self halfway through pretty good so far.

[magic chiongson]

2 episodes left, I've enjoyed it very much so far. Ready for DDS2.

is this coming out before luke cage?

[imdaman99]

I like the Luke Cage inclusion, but do they have to fk everytime they see each other? :roll:

Done through 4 episodes. I don't binge watch, I can't watch 13 episodes in 2 days. I will spread it out over a week or so.

[ballup]

Just finished it. Story and theme wise, it's much better than Daredevil. This show doesn't cross the line, it power jumps past it.

how? so many plot holes

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Jessica Jones :applause:
:applause:

[imdaman99]

Just finished as well. I liked it because I didn't feel as if I was watching the clock waiting for it to finish. It sailed along and jeez kilgrave was brutal :eek: I didn't like the ending, it was anti climactic and I knew what would happen...but what can ya do?

When's Luke Cage out?

[ballup]

how? so many plot holes
Daredevil does have a strong plot of its own. It's about how justice isn't blind to those with enough power as many suggest and is killing a villain the right thing to do, even though that goes against the typical superhero mentality.

Jessica Jones ties the same themes seamlessly on the side to the main theme of defining heroism, how damaging control over others can be, and coping with your past demons.

I think Jessica Jones is a much better show than Daredevil. The only thing Daredevil had on it is superior fighting scenes. This iteration of Killgrave was just a much better villain than The Kingpin. The Kingpin was made bland and uninteresting.

Bump

Just watched season 3 recently. Like other seasons it moves way slower than I'd like, but if you crunch it together then it's good. It's a serious amount of time to get through, though.

was better than season 2 but still a tier below season 1.

i liked it though. making patsy a killer seemed pretty force tho. they used her mom's death to push her over the edge. seems like a overused trope. wish they had stuck to making salinger the villain.

Same feelings.

I'm just wondering why Netflix is killing all of these Narvel series. Probably about money and Marvel's terms for further series but still, some of that stuff was great and now apparently the terms make it so Punisher and the Defender characters can't have their shows for some odd number of years.

Disney is starting their own On-Demand streaming service. There's a strong possibility they are planning to use the characters or properties in shows for their platform in some manner.
