Alright, all the cautious optimism is gone, now there is only hype remaining. Holy poo poo what a trailer.

That's a good trailer but we still have no indication of the opening credits will be as good as daredevil's.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:But seriously, that trailer makes it seem like it's all about Kilgrave's wacky shenanigans. I guess they just wanted a strong hook, because I doubt it's going to fill 13 hours. Yeah I get why they're marketing that angle because it's the strongest hook the series has, but it's a thin line to tread before it makes the show out to be fetishizing Jessica's trauma while simultaneously being the kind-of "villain showcase" that tends to undercut superhero productions (see: every live-action Batman adaptation from 89 onwards). That said Ritter is clearly putting effort into what must be a demanding role, the guy playing Luke Cage is instantly likable even from those short snippets, and we all knew Tennant would kill it. Here's hoping it does the job.

Given that Alias was such a short book, I wonder how much of it will actually make it into the series. It seems that they are skipping straight to killgrave. Like, I remember killgrave not even showing up until halfway through. It wasn't even until I read this thread that I got he was supposed to be the main villain, I thought it was just another case in a series of cases Also, I hope they come up with a better way for JJ to fight him lol jean grey

Someone mentioned earlier that the purple in the trailers and title for Jessica Jones is kinda similar to the red for Daredevil, and I hope this is a trend throughout all the shows: yellow for Luke Cage and Green for Iron Fist. And then for Defenders they mash all the colors up for like a really gross brown. I don't know anything about Jessica Jones outside of the little I've seen from this thread: she's a PI, seriously hosed up from Kilgrave (the Purple Man?), can fly sometimes. But I'm still really hyped for this just as much as I was for Daredevil. I knew more about Daredevil than JJ (I knew of Daredevil for awhile, but I don't think I knew he was blind until the show) but I'm excited for this. Hopefully if this series works as well as Daredevil did, it will give people a likelier chance to appreciate the more unknown superheroes like Cage and Iron Fist (also two I know nothing about.) I'm hyped.

Each of them will also presumably have a specific place to stand in the moving posters they make in that same street in Hell's Kitchen with the Avengers Tower in the background, with all 4 of them standing together for the one they make for Defenders.

That trailer actually gave me chills. I was a little skeptical about Ritter in the role because I guess she just left more of an impression on me from Don't Trust the Bitch than Breaking Bad, but that trailer sold me on her completely. Cage seems good and Kilgrave is horrifying. I'm pumped.

No idea why, she seems to be a victim of a Purple Man mindfuck but her face with half the screen in complete darkness (which looks like Jessica's hair) makes it eerie.

There's been tons of rumors floating around that Marvel has no idea what to do with Iron Fist, which is why they don't have a show runner or lead yet. Hopefully (probably) it isn't true.

Its delivery date is a year away, minimum. A year ago did we have every detail of Jessica Jones hammered out? I say extreme pessimism is a little absurd, at this point. Marvel has this poo poo down, man. They'll find a lead and they'll have a showrunner and they'll have a broad outline of the series down before summer.

To me it seemed to downplay the sexual aspect compared to the comics; just from that trailer the focus seems to be that he made her kill someone. Let's try to head this off at the pass: fetishize-- have an excessive and irrational commitment to or obsession with (something). The trailer is 90% focused on Jessica's relationship to Killgrave. That's not indicative of the final product and no one is saying as much-- my exact words were that it's a thin line between playing up the dramatic arc of the story and making that aspect of the story the sole focus. It's not a crime or indicative of poor quality if that does come to pass, and it's not idiotic to raise an eyebrow at that potential. computer parts posted:I mean I don't see why the only thing you're allowed to get out of trailers is hype. I did forget I was in TVIV when I brought up those thoughts. Much as I love y'all sometimes the reputation it has as an echo chamber that can't handle the slightest form of deviance from the collective consensus is justified.

If they do a decent job with it I think selling the series as a survivor story is perfectly fine. That's what it is, and what Alias was too even if they didn't get into the meat of it until 2/3 through the run. I dunno how you can express that it's a central theme in the show without fetishizing it to an extent -- but the actual extent and appropriateness of this sort of stuff is sort of in the eye of the beholder. Trigger warning, I guess. E: I guess I mean fetishizing as in 'if there's an internet person that is way into erotic mind control fiction then this trailer will likely tickle their pickle' but I don't think that's something you can prevent.

I mean, just look at everyone going nuts in the Flash thread about how the show is definitely hanging by a thread and it's going to be cancelled in a year's time to make space for the movie.

I believe we had a fair bit more than what we've got about Iron Fist, which is basically bupkiss. It's especially odd to me since Brubaker/Fraction's excellent "Immortal Iron Fist" series form a much more solid blueprint for what to do with the character than anything related to a solo Luke Cage story from the last 35 years.

They're not doing it to show that the glory of battle is wrong (or at least a lot of them don't), it's because they want war to look cool.

According to Wiki Ritter wasn't cast as Jones until December 2014 and she wasn't even being talked about as far back as August-October. That's basically a year before release. Iron Fist isn't going to come around until late 2016 at the earliest so it seems like we're not behind at all on the information/production progress for Iron Fist. Its just a long ways out and they only recently started filming Cage. I think what has people thrown off is that Cage was cast way earlier than Jones/Daredevil because he's part of the Jones series. No Iron Fist cast suggest that he won't be part of the Cage series but I don't think it gives an indication that the show isn't being made. Just that its not up yet because theres still two series (DD S2 and Cage) being made before it.
