dayum, episode 5

Spoiler

I really love how Kilgrave had general countermeasures. Not strangely specific, just general ones one the basis of what he knew of his enemy. He didn't know when or if he would be attacked, he just prepared for the case if he was and his ability was taken. This is so amazing.

 

[SJRB]

Just watched the first two episodes, starts off pretty slow but I'm totally on board now. Awesome stuff. I like how the show explains basically nothing, for example what Jessica Jones' powers are [aside from inhuman strength].

Also, Carrie-Anne Moss looking amazing as the classy lawyer.

 

[Numb]

ep 4

Weaker than usual.
Still awesome

My city!*

*the couple of square blocks that is Hell's Kitchen, merely the neighbourhood I grew up in and not much else

You know what, I buy that. I do the same thing about my own city.

 

[Sou Da]

Heh decent visual storytelling in episode 6.

Spoiler

Xbox 360 stuff everywhere.

 

[Aaronology]

Only two episodes in but can someone tell me how strong Jessica Jones is supposed to be? Like Captain American strong?

She appears quite a bit stronger than Captain America.


Ep10:

Spoiler

Jesus, they keep twisting the Reuben knife hard. I really liked that guy. =[

 

[Chariot]

Yeah. Cap is the pinnacle of human condition, but she goes a bit beyond that, at least given that Cap can't do

[Metroidvania]

On episode 10, and really, really enjoying this more than Daredevil.

Ritter nails Jones really, really well.

 

[firehawk12]

JJ's character writing is so much better than Daredevil's.

Oh god yes.

Don't laugh at the future Taskmaster.

That's Wardmaster thank you very much.

lolol

In the MCU, they renamed New York "Hell's Kitchen" after most of Manhattan was destroyed by the Hulk.

Haven't started watching the show yet, but question about Luke Cage. Does he have powers by the time Jessica Jones starts? Or is that something being saved for his own series?

Thanks for the info guys!

 

[Kalentan]

I like Simpson thus far...

But...

Spoiler

Sometimes he looks a little TOO much like Chris Evans. Kind of weird. XD

 

[Gr1mLock]

I'm liking it but better than Daredevil? Naa.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Those who like it more than Daredevil...how much do you like Daredevil? To me, Daredevil is best thing Marvel has done so trying to find comparison point.

 

[Shaanyboi]

And to think the main writer wrote the twilight movies

Shows what happens when you have good source material

She also wrote some early Dexter episodes. And Step Up. What an interesting resume.

Also shows that some people are stuck with bum gigs to pay the bills that no one can make good, and that can't define a creative person's ability.

Its great, but I like the movies more.

 

[Jobbs]

Disappointed by the lack of "this city" referrals (one of the inexplicable simple joys of daredevil), but liking the show overall. In fact, so far (just watched episode 4) I think I like it more than I liked Daredevil.

Lesser shows would feel the need to clearly lay out "these are my super powers, this is where I got them" right at the start, but the show treats her super powers as something that's kind of incidental. It's an interesting angle.

 

[Sesuadra]

Finished all episodes.

Daredevil is better imho. But not by much. JJ ist really good.

 

[Numb]

ep 5
lol this fucking dude.
What an awesome bad guy.

You liked Daredevil,you will like this for sure,I mean 99% sure lol.

My city!*

*the couple of square blocks that is Hell's Kitchen, merely the neighbourhood I grew up in and not much else

lol, true. Dialogue in DD went basically

Wilson Fisk: city, city, this city, that city, my city, our city, their city, CITY!

Matt: that city, our city, this city, my city, CITY, you lard



can't wait to get home and start watching this

 

[jon bones]

just watched episode 1

captured the feel of the comic PERFECTLY

 

[Karak]

Hope this gets better. Dreadful first ep so far...uhg.

 

[JTripper]

Finished ep. 3.

Spoiler

I love how similar yet different it is than Daredevil. Hell's Kitchen feels alive, especially knowing that these characters and the DD cast occupy the same neighborhood, and I actually recognized a couple streets and locations. Both shows deal with some similar themes, just in different ways and I love it. DD dealt with the superhero stuff more in an action drama sort of way and Kingpin was a complex character who was basically a violent man-baby. JJ deals with the superhero stuff in a more moral way, asking questions about using super powers and learning what they mean. Kilgrave, at least so far, is the total opposite of Kingpin. He's just a straight up evil mother fucker who gives no shits and is willing to ruin the lives of everyone. It's great stuff so far.

Spoiler

It's also following a similar episode structure with Daredevil. 1 was the introductory episode introducing the big story and the main character's conflict, 2 was the slower episode that took some time familiarizing you with supporting characters, and 3 was the first real appearance of the villain.

 

[firehawk12]

Source?

That was sarcasm. lol

 

[Ricker]

Hope this gets better. Dreadful first ep so far...uhg.

The last part kinda saves it,but yeah its a very slow start.

 

[Dai101]

WOW

Just, wow

 

[Cloyster]

Holy shit that Kilgrave scene in Episode 7.

The writing.

 

[Karak]

The last part kinda saves it,but yeah its a very slow start.

Thats good to know thanks very much! I almost turned it off during the discussion with the roomate. The acting there killed my soul a bit lol.

 

[Rodin]

Watched the first three episodes. I found it way, way more enjoyable than Daredevil.

[Froli]

I'm probably the only one who is feeling this way but..
The series so far is meh. To those who feels a lot of hype for this might end up very disappointed.

I have only now got through 1 episode but nothing was interesting yet. Crossing fingers for #2

 

[NobleXenon]

Ok, busted out laughing when she said, "

Spoiler

Seattle Grace." ... "Like the TV Show?"

 

[firehawk12]

Wow, I didn't expect in episode 8 for Jessica Jones

Spoiler

accuses Purple Man of rape.

Maybe I just have really low expectations for a Marvel TV show, but I'm glad they went there rather than just leave it all allegorical/metaphorical.
