Good pick, specially since Enver Gjokaj is not available due to his part in Peggy Carter.

Badass urban superhero with a heart of gold and a "do the right thing attitude". Very street level. BFF with Iron Fist/Dany Rand. Is in a loving multiracial relationship without fuss nor drama. Punches fools on the regular, which means tons of action.

I'm guessing Purple Man is what causes Jessica to get PTSD and quit being a superhero.

I am curious how they would trying to make this work. I have to admit that I dont know for sure, but wasnt her appearence as Jewel a reconn? And since superheroes had their outing to the public just recently in the MCU, the whole fundament of the Jessica/Killgrave relationship has to be changed radical.

Cant Image a fitting way to make this work.

Yes, but it's on Netflix so they will have much more freedom to be darker.

Some freedom, surely, I agree, but if there's going to be crossover with Daredevil, I don't think they're going to get Purple Man straight adaptation dark. That's some seriously R-rated stuff. I presume Marvel will still want this to have fairly wide appeal.

The purple man shit better make it in. It's incredibly important to Jess and purple man and one of the scariest villians ever

The way it was done in the comics was fairly restrained. I can see the show trying to portray those scenes in similar fashion; mostly implied instead of actually shown on screen.

I can't see why Marvel wouldn't take bigger risks given that this will be on Netflix AND the fact that JJ is one of their darker properties. AoS has already gone mighty dark in the latest couple of episodes, and it's not even on a streaming platform.

To be fair the Agents of Shield are doing some pretty good excuse for the Purple Man/JJ thing
with the mind control storyline


[edit]they will probably fly over the big details[/edit]

I think they will actually Netflix can afford to be bold. The only thing we won't get is the Jean Grey cameo for obvious reasons.

I haven't read the comics in years, so it could be tamer in its depiction than I remember. Again, they could do a plotline with Purple Man for sure. There just hasn't been anything remotely as dark as
mind-control rape
in any MCU stuff so far, so I would be surprised if even a Netflix series went that far, simply because none of the MCU stuff has been dark to that extent IIRC.

Which AoS plotline? Sorry, brain fart here. :)

The book didn't really show it. The series doesn't have to either. The grossness can actually be more effective if implied rather than explicitly depicted. That would take some skillful writing and acting though.

agreed... honestly I feel like they can do it. If I remember correctly
he never raped her and simply made her into a voyeur of him having sex
..... its dark but they could always simply show him controlling her (maybe making her commit crimes) and once she is "freed" have her use the "you don't know what he made me do?" line. That would let the audience infer as dark as they want
and not expose kids to pervy stuff he did

I dont see the point in changing this and imply that heavy a rape. It would be better, when the "you don't know what he made me do?" line stays the same as in the book (
letting her go on rampage and "kill" Daredevil
)

But I think its very clear that they will change exact this. It just doesnt fit in the MCU, it works better in a comic.

DAREDEVIL’s Costume is Finalized

We have a source in New York who happens to actually live with a crew/cast member of the Marvel/Netflix DAREDEVIL series. He passes us information when applicable and gave us our biggest bit of news last night. It seems that Matt Murdock will be getting into costume in the series and that costume will be none other than red and black. How does a blind man know what colors he is wearing? We don’t know either but we’re intrigued. The best guess we have is that the suit will look like the one below, seen in the series Shadwoland in 2011, or perhaps more armored, as seen in Daredevil #319-#325. As details arise, we’ll share but we can’t wait for the show to hit in May 2015!

So apparently, it will look like this:

I really hope the Iron Fist show follows Immortal Iron Fist or is similar to that. Ie dealing with all the mystical stuff, immortal weapons, etc. I'm a bit worried they are going to keep him in New York dealing with Street level problems... Which is a lot more boring, especially when a few of these other shows are already doing that.

I wonder if Jessica Jones' childhood crush on
Peter Parker
can be worked in slyly somehow without
violating Sony's rights to the property.

That reminds me - we're gonna have to get a Carol Danvers soon. Because I can't imagine a version of Jessica Jones where she isn't hanging out with Carol Danvers every now and again.

I hope so.

I doubt a big name would pop in but if they get someone like Sackhoff (who's now apart of the Netflix family) it would certainly be doable

Need Scott Lang in there too.

One of the worst things about the rights not being theirs. The scenes are amazing especially when
Cage finds out in NA.
