Finally the best Marvel Netflix show returns! Any word on who's the villain?
If you wanna reference Spider-Man, reference Spider-Man. At least it would make the universe feel more cohesive; this seems like it was put here for casual watchers of these shows so they could feel like they are 'nerds' too. Big Bang Theory level, honestly. It doesn't help them that they used it as a stinger.
The greatest strength of season one was David Tennant, imo, so I'm a little cautious about season 2. I hope it turns out good though. Jessica is a good character but she needs someone good to play off.

I know the Marvel/Sony situation lol. They 'firewall' it but more or less still make direct references to characters and events in the movies. This was just a bad joke, at least in my opinion.Not easy area for Marvel, for now.
They don't own rights for Spider-Man when it comes to his use in media like movies or TV. They had to negotiate deal with Sony Pictures so they could get involved with development of Spider-Man standalone movies (I'm not 100% sure if Marvel is involved in Homecoming sequel), and get him into MCU for Civil War and Infinity War.
Kinda screwy when you acknowledge that Marvel created Spider-Man and owns full rights to use him in comics, but back way then before Marvel was owned by Disney they sold out bunch of IP movie rights to studios in effort to dodge bankruptcy. Spider-Man was one of them and Sony Pictures has been sure to keep rebooting those movies so rights don't revert back to Marvel.
Because of this it could be weird gray area if not full out no for direct MCU Spider-Man references in their TV branch. That on top of Marvel having basically firewalled MCU movies and TV from each other.
Perfect example of what is wrong with action shots nowadays. Jackie talks about this in this vid:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1PCtIaM_GQ&sns=em
Who is the villain this time?
Killgrave was the only good thing about season 1,not very optimist about the new season
Jessica Jones was always going to be the first. It was the first one into filming. Luke Cage S2 will hit in the summer and Daredevil S3 would be next Fall.
Agreed. Not convinced on how good the show will be without him.The greatest strength of season one was David Tennant, imo, so I'm a little cautious about season 2. I hope it turns out good though. Jessica is a good character but she needs someone good to play off.
season 1 has so many interesting ideas with kilgrave and it squanders every last one of them.The old forum (and by extension here I guess) seemed to have such an ardent vocal minority against this show lol
Then you look outside of that bubble, and the majority love it, it even won a Peabody award :3
That said, Season 1 got carried hard by Kilgrave, so it'll be interesting to see how good it is without him.
I reaaaaaaallly hope they don't do 13 episodes. Jessica jones had roughly 8 fantastic episodes, and then 5 episodes that were absolutely unneeded.
Strength
season 1 has so many interesting ideas with kilgrave and it squanders every last one of them.
1. jessica jones puts herself in a high security prison to force him to expose his powers. that would be a real neat setpiece in how he uses his powers. doesn't happen.
2. jessica jones lives with kilgrave and kinda starts to turn him into an antihero? wouldn't have worked with the setup, but still an interesting idea. nah he gets away.
3. try to get him in court and incriminate himself by using his powers somehow. dude escapes.
4. maybe have some poetic justice where she crushes his jaw instead of- ah no she just murders him.
and all this while the source material (and the character herself) is more about detective work. there should have been more standalone episodes at the start to establish the character and her world and instead they go hard with kilgrave from the word go. punisher and daredevil season 1 managed to get the pacing right. or at least, the handled it better.
Eh, opinions. I liked them all, but I'd watch more JJ, LC or DD over Punisher anytime. Punisher had by far the best storyline and was the strongest series overall, but every show has a completely different feel to it. And I loved the atmosphere and characters of JJ more than those of Punisher. Same with Daredevil and, for the most part at least, Cage.You see Punisher yet? Easily shit on the fluff that was Daredevil s1 and Iron Fist and even Jessica Jones. Luke Cage and Punisher so far been the best, in my opinion. Defenders was garbage too.
Daredevil season 1 says nope.
Really? In what way? I love both shows immensely, but in what way does JJ even give the most remotest of vibes to BtVS? Aside from having a kickass female character? I guess it kinda has similarities to episodes like "Passion". Pretty much the back half of S2.I liked the buffy vibe of the first season and hope for more of the same
So he can get his ass whupped.Blah. Not very interested in this unless The Punisher is in it.
I agree with how they should have paced it. Bad move not building up to Kilgrave and going hard from the start and dragging. Still panned out well as a whole.season 1 has so many interesting ideas with kilgrave and it squanders every last one of them.
