Jessica Jones

Idk what it is but season 1 just is so good and because kilgrave feels like an actual threat. Vs Jessica’s mom. Like she didn’t seem like a real threat?

I also would have loved to see her go apeshit over seeing what kilgrave did. The fact she seemed to have a really lack luster reaction to hearing about him is weird

Hi everyone

I had started Jessica Jones a few weeks ago. By the time I had seen 2/3 episodes, I got to know that Daredevil season 1 should be seen before JJ season 1. I thought that the backstory of Jessica and Kilgrave would have been shown in DD.

Now I've watched the entire Daredevil season 1, but couldn't find any mention of JJ or kilgrave.

So I thought I would ask here if there even is any backstory shown about JJ and Kilgrave in any other series or movie. Should I just go back to JJ and will it be shown later in JJ or do we not get any more story about JJ and Kilgrave relationship?

Jackson AKA the guy that lost his jacket to Kilgrave. It was Zegna and costed 5 grand!

Has anyone read Breaking the Dark by Lisa Jewell yet? I just finished it and while I did enjoy reading it, I came away a bit disappointed because of the way Jessica spent most of the book in a deep funk and didn't really use her powers much.

I mean, I totally get that JJ is an amazing and endearing character because she carries so much baggage and has a troubled soul, but portraying all that in book form, this story came off as a bit too heavy handed and not enough JJ being a super hero and flexing her muscles on unsuspecting adversaries.

3/5.

I read it last week.

For real they made me hate this brat in season 2. IDK which was worst her idea of being a self-righteous bitch or all the crap and affected lives shes produced for her own personal gain. And I don't understand how Jessica let her go freely away after she put her own mother in prision, like Jessica's moral was all jumpy the whole season 😂

Sorry for the bad quality, but even still the cameraman on the right is totally visible.

I’m watching the entire MCU in timeline order, including the one shots and I’ve reached Jessica Jones and today is the perfect day to sit on my couch and binge out.

I don’t understand why she wanted to send her own sister to the Raft just because she killed criminals (and Jess made this decision especially after she killed the man who murdered and tortured her mother Dorothy ) , when she protected her mother who killed many innocent people.Just a few episodes before, she was willing to let a serial killer like Salinger go free if it meant saving Trish from jail but at the end she cared more about putting her behind bars than arresting rapists…

But more importantly, Trish is supposed to be the person she loves the most in the world, so how could she want to lock her up for life in such a horrible place, knowing that she would never see her again? She didn’t even seem that sad about the fact that she wouldn’t see her anymore.

If my sister killed someone, even an innocent person, I would still do everything to protect her, and I would rather she die than be sent to a place like the Raft for the rest of her life. I really don’t understand what Jessica did. I was also shocked when Trish tried to kill Jessica, though it’s a little more understandable cause this was the only way for her to not go to the raft but still…. it’s her sister who always protected her and they were so close before that.

It’s as if all the love they had for each other disappeared in the last episode :(

I’ll be honest, I only watched JJ because of David Tennant. I know he’s seen in flashbacks in S2. What episodes have the longer flashbacks (like the lab one)? I can’t find it on YouTube

As a woman who has been kidnapped and gone through “so called” mind control and actually went along with the things that my capture was telling me to do because he held a fucking gun to my head every night and forcefully injected me with drugs and basically said he would kill people around me if I tried to escape or didn’t do what he asked… I empathize… Jessica Jones, is to me the superhero to the poor, forgotten people, the women who are too afraid to speak up, the addicts, the so called “weak” so if every one of you so-called bad ass guys ever had a gun pointed towards your head, I’m sure you would probably shit yourselves instantly and go running home to mommy. As well as someone who studied psychology for years … Mind control is real and “hush hush.” But I mean come on… don’t be ignorant. And coming from an LGBTQ girl, I don’t know who’s hotter, Luke or Jessica? Krysten Ritter knocks it out of the park though. Total girl crush. #girlboss

Am I the only one that thinks Jessica Jones is annoying…

Noticed this cover art for orphan Black echoes looks a lot like Netflix Jessica Jones.

I decided to watch Jessica Jones after going into season 2 of Daredevil since I heard that some stuff that happens in that season are references to events in Jessica Jones season 1. So I went to watch the show and I liked it but I it felt weird to me, they were referencing lots of past events which I assumed were hints about about backstories and setting up overarching mysteries as Jessica is a P.I. so I thought it would be a central theme. I was really surprised they were already talking about she had killed Kilgrave in the past so I assumed that there was going to be a flashback plot cause I know David Tennant is a major figure in the show but there wasn't any of him by the end of the episode. So I went onto the second episode and was pretty confused why we were getting so much focus on Jerri, she seemed like a villainish character but we were getting a lot of humanizing moments of them which I felt would make sense to happen later. But we were getting into Jones's backstory which was neat but was confused on what's Simpson's deal was and why I should care/be satisfied with his death.

Anyway I went to take a break and start episode 3 and realized I that marker on the TV was over season 2 and not season 1. I was incredibly confused as the first episode in season 2 was called AKA Start at the Beginning. Yeah it took a while for me to piece it all together, I assumed the references to her being a Super Vigilante was like how in the comics where she was a super hero before she was taken by Kilgrave and people were bringing her up being a teen super hero and her running away from it like how Trish is running away from her past as Patsy. Surprising but I actually didn't mind starting midway into the story like this it felt weird but if you edited certain things it could function as an episode 1. Considering it probably gonna be a bit before we get more Jessica Jones content as it probably depends on if Born Again is a success if the other Defenders get picked up using my messed up watch order might be a fun way to to spend the time. Anyway gonna start season 1 now.

Trish Walker ... I started off loving her, and then I despised her and did not even care anymore what they were doing with the show.

What were they thinking?

What exactly ARE they supposed to be? I can't recall ever seeing her do anything that a normal fit and well trained person couldn't. Her trainer asked if she was on steroids, but she explicitly said that she didn't get super strength. So, like...slightly improved hand eye coordination? 🤷‍♀️

Am I tripping or didn’t the blue pills just scatter after Simpson threw them, Jessica could’ve just grabbed one no?

Watching s1 again having watched 10 seasons of Greys anatomy and catching the reference in ep 1or2.

I’m thinking how cool would it be if instead of saying these things about kilgraves past, instead they had video of the double kidney transplant, maybe give the donor some other fake diagnosis that made their health bad from other organs anyway requiring disability and machines allowing them to donate two kidneys.

It would like a couple quick 5-10s videos in JJ and potentially a whole dramatic and interesting greys episode that could be created with ai probably pretty soon.

Idk what the general consensus on ai is but this sort of idea is something that I’d love to see ai do for us in the future creating these show enhancing story moments they the director never had the idea/time/budget for.

Is there a superhero doctor genre of films? Maybe (spoilers) izombie >!z virus!<, The boys >!V&tempv!<, other superhuman powers in movies being used for healing human wounds, There’s some anime, and maybe doctors in mob/cartel series like breaking bad where we get to see plots of the superheroes in hospitals being very relavant

What if it was her brother Philip who survived the accident instead of her mum and she discovered he was alive the same way she did her mum.

In my opinion the first was better by far from others two.

why did jessica and/or trish not try to go quickly find the pills that simpson threw out the window? im not sure exactly what i was expecting to happen but really anything, jessica “guided falling” to the ground and then throwing them back up to trish maybe? idk, but this just pissed me off especially because simpson literally told them shed die if she didnt take the blue pills. 🤷‍♂️

Just finished the 1st 2 issues, but im a little lost on the backstory in this series about Jessica going to prison, her and Luke’s bad relationship, and their “missing” kid.

Here’s what I’ve read:

Alias

The Pulse

New avengers annual 1 (their wedding)

Marvel 75th anniversary Alias

Am I supposed to know what’s happened in between? Or will they explain everything? If I’m not supposed to know and it’d be a spoiler, just tell me they’ll explain please. Thanks!
