Nah, dude has the emotional range as a blank wall.
Or maybe his expressions and physicality are too subtle for you

I think what he lacks in range he makes up for in physicality and presence, which is important in that role. And plus he does good work with his subtle expressions. He's not perfect obviously, but I think he fits the role.

Well, here's why MCU stuff gets in the way -
they live in a world where everyone believes in "heroes", but for whatever reason, they think it's crazy that Kilgrave can exist. That's also part of the justification that is used to make it a mostly solo affair.
Someone should make one, even if it's just one day old. lol

Question about Ep 9:
Or is it explained later?
is Simpson a character from the comics? What was up with the doctor, "sergeant", etc.
Or is it explained later?
They just don't feel it's likely. It's a really convenient explanation for everything with no evidence.
Who's seen a mind controller before?

Short answer is yes. Longer answer is a minor spoiler that you'll discover as you watch more.

Episode 5
This show is highly unrealistic. Everyone knows
used in America.

Man, I feel so bad for Malcolm.
The scene with the sound proof room was great, and damn they were so close to getting Kilgrave in there.
"Send the picture, save the junkie."
I shouldn't find that as funny as I do. It sounds like the tagline of a Heroes spoof.
Also, David Tennant is so damn good as a villain.

I mean... I don't know how the timeline works in this universe, but
Scarlet Witch?
You mean other than Scarlet Witch and the Loki staff stuff?
No one outside of The Avengers really know a lot know about her. She's not really public and the only thing any civilian has seen her do is shoot red energy.

Exactly when this takes place is still a tad murky. Age of Ultron took place mostly globally with Scarlet Witch not eating up much spotlight as a mind controller
Look the discrepancies are more easily explained as a necessary plot and writing device. I expect most shows to not strictly tie in MCU logic
Its a shame but they can only handcuff creators so much with it. The good thing is... Eventually they have to get their hands completely dirty
I think the way they did JJ was reasonable.

I'm fine with it, because I've gone out of my way to try my best to treat the show as a standalone property not burdened by the MCU stuff that would ruin its internal logic.
But, it's one of the big reasons they use throughout the show to justify why characters make certain decisions, for better or for worse.
Episode 9: So how do the UK folks feel about
I'm obviously not going to convince you of anything
the rugby references?
I'm obviously not going to convince you of anything
but there's no way the civilian world should believe that a mind controller made a double homicide happen on general principle. If you use your same logic, why doesn't just show her super strength to create reasonable doubt?

4 episodes in. Loving it so far.
Haven't read the comic books so this might be a dumb question but I don't understand why Jessica is so afraid of Kilgrave? Buy some in ear headphones. Put on some noise cancelling cans over that. Blast death metal at full volume and beat him till he passes out.
Problem solved?

Its funny when and where the logic is applied because it is somewhat self aware.
Like maybe the public is slow to deal with powered humans because they dont want to deal with it. Used to be Shields job... And still kind of is based on AoS
Either way Netflix pieces are meant to be high quality and isolated works at least currently.
They do eventually have to go all out MCU. I just wish they were less gunshy about it. They have the resources to tie everything together in compelling ways without sacrificing quality

Keep watching is all anyone can really say. lol
This is why I feel like the MCU is a huge burden. But as long as you are willing to ignore the fact that SHIELD exists, then I guess it's fine.
I mean, these are the people who are so incompetent that a douchebag named Ward is able to keep them busy for two years, so what can you do?
I Need to catch up.

I've only watched one episode so far, but yeah it's great. It's dark and twisted and Jessica is an interesting character whose alcoholism is already more explored than Tony Stark's in the MCU. Barely seen Kilgrave yet but he looks creepy and brilliant, and I'm looking forward to watching David Tennant chew the scenery.

It is but its a burden that needs to be there. Its the challenge and the dream. I want to so it through and see just how far they can go binding all these characters together.
Its been pretty rocky continuity wise outside of thr feature films though
Maybe shared Universes are just a lot harder and more expensive than we thought.
Like they could just follow CW footsteps but then we wouldnt get the quality we are getting from Netflix
Ever the balancing act i guess

First thought I had actually.Just watched the first episode. Pretty solid, can't wait to watch the rest.
On a side note, does anybody else think the layer woman looks A LOT like Claire Underwood from House of Cards?

To be fair, when I read comic books, I read Alias and The Pulse independent of any of the Marvel junk. As this standalone "MAX" book, it seemed to work well without any knowledge of House of M or Civil War or whatever stupid crap was going on during then. lol

I love em and they need to be there.... The way they do them is getting old
At least the offshoot mentions
However there are a few great examples of where MCU connections actually enhnaced the core story
Well, the haircut definitely made me think they were copying but Carrie Fischer was frickin' Trinity, I ain't ever going to mistake for someone else.

That's Miss Trinity to you, bub.
Actually what's bothering me about Jessica Jones so far is
the Met Life Building standing in place of Avengers Tower.

Aaaand done.
Great stuff. Netflix Marvel does it again. Tennant was brilliant as Purple Man, along with the rest of the cast. Luke Cage especially.
Loved all the MCU goodies, it's a world full of superheroes in a city saved by a team of superheroes. Stop bitching about people talking about the Avengers, idiots. Of course New Yorkers would be talking about them.
