I don't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't a sort of hardboiled detective story...

And I'm looking forward to the Luke Cage series...

Wasn't sure if he was going to pull off Luke Cage before I watched. Now I'm convinced. Can't wait for his series. I'm going to save the last two episodes for tomorrow though, eyes getting heavy. Really enjoying it. I like that it has a totally different feel than Daredevil yet still feels like they are connected. And the cinematography is fantastic. One of the best looking depictions of New York City I can think of for TV.

True. But:

Generally, I liked the whole series. I especially liked that for the most part and except for the main antagonist, powers and superpowers were kept low key.

If you can't hear him you can't do what he tells you. The trickier thing is if its viral how was he able to contorl people through a hospital intercom?

If Jessica knew she is immune to the Purple Man's mind control power why did she kill Luke's wife?

I'm pretty sure she wasn't immune then, but something broke the control during the trauma of the event. You can see as she turns to walk away that she looks pretty stunned/amazed at what she's doing (not obeying).

Almost done. Other than the awful subplot with Reuben's sister, it's been really good. Halfway through, though, the producer's name became Kremzeek. So, since a little electric gremlin was in charge, a bad subplot with an unlikable character is forgivable.

Dev7on · « **Reply #16 on:** November 24, 2015, 09:36:35 PM »

I really liked how the show mentioned the events that happened from the Avengers movie.

Remember how he was using his father to try and make his powers reach farther and last longer? I thought it was explained via dialogue that he amped up his powers to ludicrous levels and that allowed him to effectively saturate the entire hospital with his virus so everyone was in range.

A boxer who can take all sorts of punishment can be knocked out by a good blow to the chin. I think it's easier to jar the brain via the chin or something.

I was disappointed that:

When Kilgrave got injected to increase his powers, he started getting all veiny and purple, but it wasn't permanent. I was totally hoping for a full on Purple Man in the final confrontation.

Me too I was expecting the same thing.

Brain injuries can be caused by transferal of force in a combination of perpendicular direction (in a straight line from surface to the center of the brain's mass) and tangential direction (wrapping around the center of mass). Skull fractures are usually the result of perpendicular force.

Let's look at football helmets. They protect pretty well against perpendicular force and absorb most of that. (Not many skull fractures in the NFL.) But helmets don't protect at all against tangential forces that cause the head accelerate rapidly in a rotational motion or suddenly stop rotating when contact is made with the ground.

Now that I've finally finished binging, a few thoughts.

Netflix is good. I'm not a big fan of dark and gritty and downplaying the "hero" part of superhero shows and movies, but they do it in a way that is a perfect balance.

Before the show started I thought that Kilgrave would be a terrible big bad. I've never cared for him in any comic because essentially he was just another mind control type but without all the telepathic stuff that usually goes with it. But the writing and Tennant managed to make him fascinating. And they did the same thing that they managed to do with Kingpin. They made him human and made you feel sorry for him. Not like him, he was too evil for that. But understand where he came from, what made him, and see how it could happen to a person who would otherwise be perfectly normal.

Something I consider bad news is that Jessica Jones may not get a second season, or more likely the second season will be delayed for a year. Trying to get it out next year would conflict with the shooting schedule of Defenders so right now Netflix is trying to figure things out. The main reason I really want a second season isn't Jessica. I'm sure we will have plenty of her in Defenders and crossing over into the other series. I happen to really like some of the supporting characters from the series. I'm sure that Trish will cross over but I don't really see Malcolm or Robyn fitting in.

To answer a question above about Luke.

Spoiler for Hidden:

And lastly I really really want to see Patsy as Hellcat.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Just give her a costume involving ballistic fabric, and some knuckle blades. I've always hated the fingertip style because torque causes all sorts of problems. And Rachael Taylor fits the part perfectly.

She has had the martial arts training. She has had a dose of the same drugs which amped up Luke and those drugs are probably a variant of the ones that gave Jessica her power.

I agree. Hopefully, JJ, and Trish get full costumes in Defenders.

Gack! I can't believe I typed that. I meant to type Nuke but substituted Luke. Everybody knows Luke was basically boiled in a chemical bath. I shall now hang my head in shame.

Rejolt · « **Reply #32 on:** December 04, 2015, 12:17:51 PM »

Just finished.

My thoughts:
1. Different enough from Daredevil to not compare the two much.
2. Found the amount of punishment DD took in his series was insane, much like the amount of times Jessica was dropped by regular folks (yes, made some sense she was trying not to hurt them but you want consistent power levels) sticks out in a bad way to me.
3. Marvel is doing the solo movie x 4 = big movie climax thing with these series leading to the Defenders. This allowed Jessica Jones to go all in with Killgrave and character building. As much as I liked the series I'm good if they don't give her second season (as long as the Defenders takes off).
4. Luke Cage's show can't come soon enough. Do we have a date yet on DD season 2? How far away from Iron Fist's show are we? Netflix is NOT prime time TV. They can take their sweet time with a second season of JJ (doesn't have to be every year, just maintain the quality!).
5. I was going to write a story for my in CoH main but JJ's story is so close to it in tone I'm screwed ( had never read the MAX line of comics she came from).
