Yes.
That was most retarded scene ever. She bends steel for gods sake, are you telling she can't knock out six dudes?

She's a glass cannon and her full strength kills. Measuring your force while fighting multiple attackers with cattle prods is easier than it looks.
Because if she kills anyone, this is still technically the real world and at that point "He's a mind-controller" is far from proven.

Loved most of the show but the entire notion of letting this evil, horrible, powerful man
. I don't understand her thought process here....
live just to spare a young girl from jail time is absurd, especially when he's killing multiple people each episode

well. just Watched the first episode.
And I have a MAJOR complaint:
And I have a MAJOR complaint:
This is the SECOND netflix Marvel series IN A ROW to have a grand, expansive view of the New York Skyline.. AND NOT SHOW STARK TOWER. Hell, There's a CLEAR AS FUCKING DAY SHOT OF THE METLIFE TOWER IN EPISODE 2.

lmao do people really care about this?
Maybe she needs to learn how to knock people out. Boxers do it all the time. She fought three guys before the rods. One hit to the head each to cause a concussion would be enough to neutralize them all. Then continue with the original plan. Too bad she doesn't take yoga classes.
The sfx budget is nonexistent.

Yeah I'm done with ep 3 and it really is like no special effects whatsoever. All of the Super strength attacks have been like camera work and doubles

No, but really I wished they didn't go down that route. We've all seen that happen time and again on shows.

I hear thats looks like crap.
So did a lot of the special effects in DD. I hope they up the CG budget for S2 for these shows because it stands out.
For example that one shot of the warehouse exploding in Daredevil that they use in all the trailers for that show looks like garbage.

My B+ means it has one major flaw holding back from being a great show and a B- means it is good but suffers from major issues.
Were you never given letter grades in school? Not trying to be a dick but I didn't think it was that confusing.

they don't really have a choice given that all of the properties are taking place in the same universe. It will be in the audience's mind whether they like it or not. Just look at
how people were disappointed for the lack of a daredevil/Matt Murdock cameo.
Enjoy Episode 11!
The camera zooms in on her feet so close that they leave the frame after elevating an inch. Cut to everyone who saw this amazing feat befuddled at what they'd just seen.

i mean that's a different thing
that happens because of batman's no kill rule
this one happens because of a kind of dumb reason (arguably)

I feel like this is something that's getting set up for JJ Season 2.
It does kind of bug me that they keep making references to the Avengers and then blatantly showing New York without the giant tower that they use as a HQ.
The Artisan
Member
do you disagree? I wasn't sure if it was spoiler worthy or not (unless you haven't seen the show and just got spoiled) then I'm sorry. But it also proves my point.
I feel like its on a par with Daredevil in terms of production, maybe not fight choreography, but scripting and acting is really good I feel.
I like this darker side of Marvel, hope it seeps into the films some.
The Artisan
Member
yeah. And for that I'm sorry. But again, his reaction is another example of what was being said.
NotTheGuyYouKill
Member
Yeah. I'm not even saying there should be cameos, but the fact that Jessica Jones and Daredevil take place in the same universe, in the same neighborhood, and it never feels like it, feels strange, to say nothing of the fact the Marvel shows seem like they're almost barred from naming the Avengers.
peanutbutterlatte
Member
Uhhh there are two. One of which has the same person in it.
It's weird, I hated Agents of Shield for namedropping "Stark" and the "New York incident" every 5 seconds, but it wouldn't kill Jessica Jones to have more, especially since in this case we know a crossover is DEFINITELY coming.

Up through episode 7 now...David Tennant is killing it (ha ha) as Killgrave, but that was to be expected I think. Damn twisted villain, I love how much of an irredeemable prick he is. Really enjoying this a lot, although still unsure of whether I'd place Daredevil above or below it.
I'm actually okay with the fight choreography as-is, it makes sense for someone with super strength to just throw people around. From my perspective, Daredevil and Jessica are going to fight completely differently - Jessica doesn't need to do cool ninja stunts, she just beats them up. Jessica's STR-based, Daredevil is DEX-based.

indeed. Especially given the fact that a law firm is a decently important element in this series,
having Pam hiring Nelson & Murdock as her new lawyers would've been perfect, and it would've made so much sense, given that they are also in Hell's Kitchen and they just got done cracking a huge case there which would definitely bolster their reputation. It would've have felt forced and it would be appropriate.
And/or, have Nelson & Murdock represent Jessica at the end instead of Hogarth. I thought their relationship would've been strained at that point but that also would've been appropriate because I'm pretty sure Matt Murdock was involved somehow in the alias storyline.

What a wasted opportunity.

Yeah it was hugely disappointing, When Hogarth's miserable face came through the door I wished Jess would punch her.

yeah man, it wasn't a focal plot point that I had hidden but still, I'm sorry. But hey, at least you know ahead of time and won't be as disappointed when the season is over. It hurt a lot for me too. :\

She has broken ribs, one of which may or may not be lacerating her liver. She has powers, but damn, she's not Superman.I don't think she's even Captain America level in the show, it makes sense that she's not as capable after being hit by a truck and has gone several day without sleep. Then when you add in the guilt she feels for all the people that Kilgrave has hurt, it makes sense in context of the story. That was a hard fight for her, physically and emotionally.
Edit: I had reversed the play order of episodes 10 and 11 in my head.

Up to episode six. Killgrave scenes are pretty much the only thing I want to keep watching. Everything else feels clunky and meandering.
I was sort of on the fence on this, but as someone who basically enjoyed Daredevil only for the good fight scenes (i'm not into Marvel/DC stuff, but i like martial arts movies) i should probably avoid this.
I thought the writing in Daredevil was pretty lame overall, if this is on the same level but with less interesting fight scenes, maybe it's not for me.
