What do you mean "what could I possibly know about it"? I am a human being, living in America, who consumes pop culture and has opinions. I am not so sure why you think my economic station and life situation invalidates my critical opinions.

I pretty much agree with you, but also feel the need to point out that, at least in the timeline of her series, JJ is also an orphan vigilante using her physical gifts to save the city from evil. She just gets drunk a lot while she fumbles her way through it.

I'm gettin kinda sick of lady heros who are spurred to do hero stuff by a history of sexual abuse. Seems like that's the case here?

Like why can't the lady hero be all heroic because they killed her family or because she's just a hardass, like the man heros. The sexual trauma backstory is overused and honestly kind of gross.

Only barely, somehow I have gotten through episode 10 and I have no more interest to watch JESSICA JONES to be miserable and lovely to everyone. Watching the show is pretty much like Kevin sitting and doing nothing for the entire episode.

get this she really doesn't like the idea of being a hero much at all and generally only helps people if they pay her or if helping them might alleviate her own personal trauma

she's actually not a great person by any means, but she is a person, and that makes her interesting

Rape as character development apologists ITT

NecroMonster
Jan 4, 2009

it's funny because, ultimately, while a very traumatic experience, the rape doesn't actually inform who she is very much at all, and of course finally "being free" of her rapist earns her not a loving bit of closure

but you'd know this if you watched the show

idk i dont really get a sense of who or what the character is before the rape, she works some jobs she hates and is a sandwich. jj isn't much of a character without her lovely attitude and drinking problem, which she gets from rapeman.


that being said cliches aren't bad necessarily they just need to be handled cleverly, and having jj glory in her own magnificent indestructible anus is a novel way to approach a rape victim reclaiming and owning her sexuality

You're obv incapable of entertaining amd considering thoughts you don't necessarily agree with.

Instead of judging a dumb Netflix show on its own merits you have to immediately look at it through your own super tainted worldview lens (thus the raging about feminist archetypes and so on). Guess what homie no one in fiction is a real person. Only true masters of their craft can make a character that feels authentic and not essentially just an archetype going through a hero's journey. Just smoke a weed and eat a popcorn and realize it's a TV show based on a comic book; ie who cares what 'political message' it is (or you think it is) trying to send. The hot lady has super strength and the villain has mind control powers.

Thus when people say 'you're in your 30s living at home working at a Wendy's' they mean it is obv that your opinions aren't clever critiques but rather an injection of your angry bitter views into a review of a TV show so when you go off talking about the feminists it's just :rolleyes:

Sorry if that was harsh namaste
