I like it more than Daredevil but I can completely understand why someone would feel the opposite. They're pretty different shows.

HIJK posted:So basically all the people who said "watch the show before freaking out over the portrayals of trauma and aftermath" were proven correct and the handwringing amd teeth gnashing was all for nought? Imagine that. In any case, I was really hoping that (Complete season spoilers) Daredevil would show up, because I'm a sucker for split-universe stuff. But mentioning him, then having Jessica dismiss the idea of needing to meet him immediately really fit the show's narratives quite well. I left very pleased with not getting what I wanted. It would've been a huge cop-out for Matt Murdock or Daredevil to show up and fix a problem out of nowhere, and even though it would've been fun, the show reminded me why my idea was terrible.

It would have ruined the entire show.

1x04 Jess dealing with anti-super racism was interesting, I wonder if it'll crop up more throughout the various Netflix series

I think if a television show or an internet forum has that much power over someone then they have bigger problems then media portrayals on tv. Depending on what area you live in I can recommend a good therapist, I've had a few over the years.

Oh hey was anyone else a little bit disappointed that 1x13 Kilgrave's super powerup injection didn't actually turn him purple? When he was injected with it he got a bunch of purple veiny things on his neck before it cut away and I got all excited that he was going to be an actual purple man for the final confrontation.

Hollismason posted:Kilgrave is incredibly terrifying. When someone explained the Purple Man's powers and how he used them to me, it struck me as one of the single gnarliest ideas for a villain I've ever heard. He's like something out of a particularly upsetting horror short story, the kind that stays with you because of all the awful implications.

Wow, I went into the first episode of this not knowing anything about Jessica Jones. Was not expecting it to get so implicitly rapey so fast.  Kristen Rytter is pretty baller when given an actual dramatic (as opposed to comedic) role though.

Eh he wasn't really used that often at all. Originally he was a Daredevil villian. Bendis brought him back in Alias then he started making more appearances.

The first time I encountered him in the 1602 where he was responsible for sending Captain America back in time because for some reason he couldn't kill him like he killed the other heroes after he became Super President Purple.

OldTennisCourt posted:Wait seriously? Isn't that an enormous part of the story? The trailer they have is basically brit with southern accent dressed as a preacher being bad and beating people up. The only vaguely supernatural thing is Cassidy leaping out of a plane and a brief shot of him letting the sun set him on fire. Maybe they didn't want to reveal it, but it seems like not even touching on it is like making a trailer of lord of the rings that doesn't mention the ring at all. This is pretty fantastic. http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-21/these-doctor-who-fans-cant-cope-with-evil-david-tennant-in-jessica-jones Booh hoo your favorite actor crush has different roles!

Just finished it. Overall I give it a B. It was better than mediocre but not great. Tenant was good, the fight scenes were bad, etc. Looking forward to Daredevil s2. Shane as The Punisher looks like it's going to own.

I think why I liked it a bit more than DD is that it was a comic book thing, but didn't feel like a comic book thing. Even with super strength and mind control and everything, that felt secondary to the actual investigations and stuff.

"You let me be...inside you" might be the MOST wretched line of dialog ever conceived, ever written, ever put to page, ever spoken as part of a work of cinematic fiction In the history of the moving picture never before and never will there ever be a line of dialog as loving terrible as "You let me be (pause for emphasis)....inside you"
