Jessica Jones - Netflix Original Series
Might as well make a thread for this. Comes out in one month! I never read the Alias comic books, so this will be all new to me. Looks like it will be "quite dark".... Quote:

I know very little about the source, but I'm looking forward to David Tennant as Purple Man

Typical "is that black guy Luke Cage?" question right here.

Never really followed Jessica Jones in the comics so I wasn't too excited when this first got announced. Trailer makes it look pretty good though.

Alias is actually extremely good. You should look it up. Can't find it on marvel unlimited because it's a max title but it's totally worth reading.

Damm. Maybe not. Just read it'll be uploaded at midnight America time. I'm sure Daredevil was uploaded midnight UK time on our Netflix.
Oh well. I'll just watch some in the morning before work instead of tonight. |

Purple Man has a good level of creepiness in the first ep. Think I'm gonna try and watch a couple of episodes tomorrow morning, then hinge whatever's left on Sunday.

Might start on this later today but I'm feeling a bit burned out on TV, been playing catchup since I got back from holiday. Reviews look good, so hopefully it's going to be up to Daredevil standards.

Halfway through the season and I like it. Not as much as Daredevil but this can definitely stand on its own. I just wonder if this is going to go like Heroes with a villain that can't be matched in future seasons.

Fight scenes are a bit shit. All Jessica does is throw people or lift them off the ground. I don't think she's even thrown a punch yet.
I guess it sort of makes sense since she's not trained to be a fighter, just has super strength, just doesn't make for extremely interesting fight scenes. |

4 episodes in, much better than Daredevil. Probably the most interesting thing Marvel have done on TV or film for me if it continues this way.

eventually, first 4-5 episodes felt like a giant slog (although I'm good with slow-burn stuff, I don't think that was the case, just thought it was pretty dull) so I'll check out season 2. Have liked this from episode 1 however.

i'm about six episodes in, digging it heaps and v impressed etc but my issue is less with the show itself than its role in the mcu and what it says about how fractured marvel's 'shared' universe has gotten when you've got not only major franchise characters that can't be referred to by name ("the big green guy", "the flag waver" etc) or their actions only get referred to in passing ("the incident", "dropping a city out of the sky"), not to mention the barely noticeable tv adventures of s.h.i.e.l.d, but you've got two shows on the same freaking network/streaming service/whatever that are supposed to be part and parcel of establishing a big ol' team-up show down the line but feel barely related at this stage. maybe i am speaking out of turn having not yet watched to the conclusion, i don't know.
i know there's a crossover still to come with the night nurse and all but like... no passing reference to the vigilante running around hell's kitchen? the fact that there were like... several explosions in a few days in the neighbourhood? daredevil was literally all over the frigging news in his own show, but to watch jessica jones you wouldn't know it. there have been plenty of opportunities for throwaway references - not even direct ones TO murdock, but even just things in his universe; jeri could've offered to refer hope's case to the other big firm that matt and foggy left to start theirs, for example, just to show this is still the same borough, much less the same universe. just seems weird that on arrow/flash, every other week it's "cisco whipped this up at star labs" or "i sent this to caitlin" or "barry couldn't be here", or once or twice a season, "holy shit it's barry and caitlin and cisco" and it's like, YEAH, arrow and flash SHARE a universe. this is nice. this is good. this is how it should be. it's not JUST the payoff of having robert downey jr show up at the end of your hulk movie so that it can be claimed to be 'in continuity'; especially on tv, it's the week-to-week reminders that this is still a part of something bigger that also count. i get that jessica jones, being a max book, technically occupied her own little corner of the marvel universe anyway, but her best friend was carol danvers and she solved cases for superheroes and luke cage became an avenger, so she didn't exist in a vacuum. and with things moving towards defenders faster than they seem prepared for, i don't know if playing it the same way they played the pre-avengers films - ie completely separately - is the best path to take. or, if it is, then the singular 'shared universe' maybe doesn't matter off the big-screen as much as we thought it did. |

tl;dr: show is amazing but the singular mcu seems increasingly vague and unnecessary

But I just wanted to reply to this particular thing. I don't feel the same way. I like that the world is shared, but don't need to see a crossover every other show (like Flash) to enjoy their own stories. Even that is a weird meter, because the DC 'verse is segregated between TV and cinematic... Batman exists, but it is technically neither Bale nor Affleck, he just "is Batman" somewhere in the ether. I don't pick up an X-Men comic and expect to see a team-up every time, but am aware they share continuity with Spider-Man, Shi'ar, or Alpha Flight. Also, there is no hard measure of time between this and DD save for this being post-Avengers, so who's to say the lack of Daredevil crossover isn't partially due to this not running exactly parallel? Kinda like the first Resident Evil movie, where it technically began before the first game, but Alice ends up waking up in the hospital about the time period during the second game, but had no immediate bearing or interactions with either. It was a beautiful standalone story that still took place in universe. Shoehorning her into the events directly with major game characters, which is what the sequels did, is where they started getting dumb really fast. It is nice to have the *possibility* of interaction, but it doesn't need to be everywhere all the time. Especially since every new show with more characters farther down the MCU hierarchy are looked at as experimental, and not knowing if the show will take off or fail. |
