#Netflix Jessica Jones

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

If you weren’t following the Netflix Marvel shows when they were first being released, here’s my best attempt at summarizing how the audience/fandom reacted to them:

Daredevil S1: “OMG, best Marvel show ever! I love this darker side of the MCU!”

Jessica Jones S1: “OMG, best Marvel show ever! I love this darker side of the MCU! Marvel does female representation right!”

Daredevil S2: “Punisher was amazing! Elektra and the Hand…eh.”

Luke Cage S1: (first half) “OMG, best Marvel show ever! I love this darker side of the MCU! Marvel does black representation right!” / (second half) “This show is corny and terrible. They did Mahershala Ali dirty.”

Iron Fist S1: “Wtf is this shit?”

The Defenders: “That was certainly a crossover. They did cross over. And things happened.”

The Punisher S1: “This is fine, but it’s tone deaf for Marvel to make this show when we need gun control now.”

Jessica Jones S2: “The story is all over the place. What’s even the focus here? What the heck is happening?”

Luke Cage S2: “I guess this is better than S1 but I still hate that Mahershala Ali got killed off so soon.”

Iron Fist S2: “Better than S1, but that’s not saying much. Also, I welcome our new Iron Fist, Colleen Wing.”

Daredevil S3: “They redeemed the Netflix Marvel shows! Hallelujah!”

The Punisher S2: “This feels rushed. Like there’s two seasons worth of story here.”

Jessica Jones S3: “Wait, this exists? I literally saw no ads for this.”

only DT fans will understand me here but I LOVE that David has a distinct look when he's a villain. there's just a very specific expression that he has, the demeanour. when he's a villain. you can just SENSE it. the look in his eyes. you don't see it with his non-villain characters. if anyone else actually knows what I mean here then GOOD, I can't find any photo evidence at the moment but DT fans please tell me you know what I'm getting at here 😭

*P.S.: The YA series technically take place in the MCU but are as good as independent from it. The same goes for Netflix's shows, though they might still become an effective part of it. This will likely be defined in the upcoming MCU series Daredevil: Born Again.

Still waiting for the day that Jessica Jones and Luke Cage return to the MCU preferably as a couple because I love them and miss them so much!

Eight episodes into season one of Jessica Jones now, and I think it's safe to say that Kilgrave is officially my new favorite Marvel villain.

He's so messed up and creepy, and I love it.

I'll try to get an episode or two in this afternoon, as I won't be able to watch any tonight because the Ravens are playing. But the fact that a part of my mind is even considering skipping watching the Ravens game to watch more of the show is a good indication of how much I like it.

I have been ranking all of the movies and shows (they have separate lists; and by season for the shows) for fun, as I finish them up, and I think season one of Jessica Jones has a good shot of taking over the top spot from season one of Daredevil.

Belated Jessica Jones rant

Ever since the show started there's been the recurring theme of Jessica doing things by the book: get proof, get criminal, send to jail.

So when Jessica encountered the first antagonist AKA Kilgrave, she tries her routine while also knowing that no normal jail can hold him, so she tries the next best alternative to that but when all fails, she ends up forced to kill him.

In season 2, Alisa is the antagonist. Again she tries her routine but when Alisa does go to jail, it's the wrong kind, she's too strong and unstable for normal prison, (despite having accepted a deal which would not send her to The Raft) and because that fails, she ends up dead too.

In season 3, Trish is the secondary antagonist, and she forces Jessica's hand to fight her. Eventually she does send her to jail, the "right" kind according to Jessica, The Raft. And it works, Jessica sacrifices her best friend, the only family she has left in order to not have her end up like the other antagonists whose stints in confinement did not work.

And I suppose it does seem like a consistent sequence of events for the series but it does not make it a fair one. Because how do you send the weakest of the antagonists to the strongest of prisons?

Is it because Trish was never arrested by the NYPD first? Because they did not have the great Jeri Hogarth who can strike deals out of thin air representing Trish? Because the evidence against Alisa Jones is much more damning than anything Trish did (literally just killed criminals).

IMO it was a cop out by writers who knew the series was ending with no future plans of a reboot, and wanted to leave with a bang. Not a bad watch at all, but sure a messed up one.

Elektra, Kate Bishop, and Jessica Jones is my favorite genre of women

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

The storyline I imagined in my head for this scenario:

Frank Castle got flying stone since he’s a trained sniper/marksman. He was literally trained to be able to make his shots.

Matt Murdock got jegi since he’s the most coordinated with his movements.

Danny Rand got gonggi since he once observed the game being played while he was living in K’un L’un. Also, no one else knows how to play the game.

Between Jessica and Luke, Jessica is given ddakji and Luke gets spinning top. Although both of them could do ddakji due to their super strength, Luke volunteers for spinning top. His reasoning is that a couple of kids that visited the barbershop once showed him how to spin a Beyblade. Jessica then shrugs and says something along the lines of, “good enough for me, now let’s not get killed out there”.

MCU Progress Update

I finished season one of Jessica Jones a week and a half or so ago. Overall, I really enjoyed it, but the last episode did leave a lot to be desired. I'm okay with Kilgrave dying and all, but I think it could have been done in a more interesting way. I have my own headcanon on how it should have ended. But this post isn't about sharing headcanons, so I'll keep it to myself for now.

I finished season two of Agent Carter yesterday. This was also a new show for me. I didn't like, nor did I hate, season one, so I wasn't excited going into season two. I did, though, enjoy it a lot more than season one and looked up what the season three plans were and am slightly disappointed it never happened.

Next on my list is season two of Daredevil. I watched episode one last night. This is not a new one for me, and I'm very much looking forward to revisiting the Punisher stuff, especially now that I've seen The Punisher. The Elektra stuff I don't hate. I could take it or leave it, so I'm not as excited about that part of the season.

After Daredevil is one movie (Captain America: Civil War), and then it's time for season four of Agents of SHIELD, which I'm looking forward to, even if I still haven't quite recovered from the season three finale.
