I dunno, robot guy from Avengers 2 wanted to blow up the world by crashing a city into it. lol

But the robot guy is james spader and he's not really pure, pure evil. Though i agree they would get along....

Maybe you're right.

Edit: On second thought the thing with Kilgrave as others have noted. He doesn't want to destroy the world or become a huge villain, hes doing his work in the shadows amongst the public and getting away with some really fucked up stuff but not enough to attract the big names. So he continues his fucked up ness uncontrolled and mentored.

Yeah the guy is literally spawned from two giant piles of dog shit and unapologetic evil. The lowest of the lowest that even Kingpin would have clear issues with.

Kingpin is 100% Lawful Evil, though. He has goals, a code and a well structured system.

Kilgrave is a mean cunt for the sake of it.

True.

He's one of those evil characters that you just have to ask like "Question- You don't have to do any of this, you don't have to be be this cruel...but yet you are"

"why?"

and his reply would be "Because i can"


Like how do you deal with someone like that? other then throwing him into the sun.

That's the point I'm trying to make.

Three episodes in, they are setting up Kilgrave's continued existence to to be 100% unforgivable, with the only exception being Jessica wants to put him on trial (which we all know won't happen this early in the MCU). He's not a character that has any story in him other than this one tale. What? He's gonna be in Defenders? He needs to be the only villain of a tale just because of how motherfucking OP he is.

The only way to "stop" him so far seems to be to trick his victims into thinking they completed their tasks.

I know and i understand you're point. But they would be missing out on some very moving and interesting beats if adapted, if they don't kill him. Though as i remember it now and think back Jessica Jones is not solely dealing with him. Still it would be weird to jump straight into Defenders and if there's a season 2 and her Nemesis is gone because to be honest she doesn't really have anybody else to hold that spot.

Only 3 episodes in and thus far this has been really- really good and I can't wait to binge watch the rest...
Sort of wish it came out at 12 AM EST, since now it's like... 5:38 AM here. Super tired.

I will say the way they have been:

Showing Kilgraves powers, with the family attacking her and such and how he controlled the cop was freaky. The way he appeared in the flashback, that like... desired rage (if that makes sense) when Jessica wasn't following his orders. All so very creepy!

On the topic of Jessica's past:

Okay so she was under his influence for a bit and based on her discussion with Trish, she did try to do some heroics at one point? So maybe like a heroes for hire thing herself?

Also:

When Trish asked if Hope was gifted... Is that to imply that Kilgrave seemingly was going after gifted people? Or was that just based on the fact that he controlled Jessica?

Either way, I can't wait to see how more of this is revealed.

I do wonder if they'll kill Kilgrave at the end of the season, though I'm not sure how it would happen. I mean, the guy got hit by a bus and it only pissed him off.

Three episodes in. Kilgrave is already one of the most, if not the most, terrifying villains in the MCU. Every single scene is intense as fuck because you literally never know when his powers could rear their head. And the man himself is that much more terrifying. His presence is unsettling. So good.

Gotta tap out after 3 but I'm in love. So glad Netflix exists so shows that can really dig into the characters get made. I wanted to applaud that episode 3 opening. The recognition? Amazing moment.

I just finished watching the first episode. That was the best pilot I've ever seen. Amazing. Kristen Ritter and the whole tone is brilliant.

In terms of quality it's pretty similar, but Kilgrave is such an intense presence immediately that it feels like a lot quicker of a start than DD. DD kind of ramps up a bit. This show goes from 0 to 100 real damn quick.

On my way home again. Gonna watch episode 2, and then wait about 4 hours for the girlfriend to come home, so we can watch it together starting from episode 1. Hopefully she's on for binge watching it!

I'm fine with it though i can see why some would be annoyed though hopefully not annoyed in the why i hope.

it just feels so random, scenes are to long. I like when they talk and flirt but the sex scenes are just so thrown in like a buffer to the next story stuff >>
I'm a little "meh" because of your hopefully not annoyed in the why i hope. that was mean to insinuate :/

Enjoyed the conversation that Luke and Jessica had about their powers. "Not trying to hide it, not advertising it." And I hope her door not locking becomes a running gag throughout the season.

Whoever described this as "neo noir" hit the nail on the head. It isn't your typical superhero show by any means. Her abilities are just another tool that helps her solve a case. Haven't been bored even once so far. Even the supporting cast is solid and putting in work.

There are going to be sooooo many think pieces about this show over the next few months. Tons of strong (literally and figuratively) well written female characters. And it doesn't beat you over the head or draw attention to it.

The Luke Cage series can't come soon enough. Mike Colter is nailing the role, having a whole series of his Cage is going to be wonderful.

The sex scenes have a lot of good directing and action. They reveal a lot about character.

He has his powers. In Episode 3 he even mentions that he got them from an experiment. But him and Jessica have been a bit vague about the exact details of their origins so far.

Sex is a very powerful connector between jaded cynical people. Jessica doesn't have a lot to make her happy, and her body motions and expressions show that she found something that makes her feel good. It also shows Luke and Jessica's fun sides.
