TK Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Pay special attention to episode 9 especially if you're a Daredevil or Cap fan. Simpson is Nuke. Red pills. White pills. Blue pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 4 episodes in, this show is so damn good  very different from Daredevil, and it should be, but just as good  It also managed to be much darker than Daredevil  Marvel is 2 for 2.

88Comrade2000 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I've watched the first 2 episodes; maybe an all nighter? It took me 3 days to watch Daredevil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Wached the first 6 with my brother earlier. Â Good stuff. Â Dark, but some humor mixed in, and less violent than Daredevil, but extremely suspenseful (almost to the point of paranoia, lol).

Gamebreaker Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So I finished the first season. My opinion? Just as good as Daredevil was, but in a different way. So many little Easter eggs in there that I probably missed a bunch. All the casting choices were spot on. Marvel and Netflix have proven to be good together once again.

Larry Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 BTW, Agents of SHIELD (which I'm liking, this season) had an advertisement for another season of Agent Carter, coming in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I think one of the things I like most about Jessica Jones is that she doesn't rely on her superpowers too much. Â Can only think of a handful of times where she's jumped. Â She's flexed some muscle and kicked some ass, but not at an annoying rate. Â It's really about her smarts.

Going Commando Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So I finished the first season. My opinion? Just as good as Daredevil was, but in a different way. So many little Easter eggs in there that I probably missed a bunch. All the casting choices were spot on. Marvel and Netflix have proven to be good together once again. I've finished the first seven episodes. It's good, but it's not as good as Daredevil was IMO. It gets a little too melodramatic. A little too unfocused and low-stakes. A little too lifetime movie-esque... Particularly in that whole distracting "I'm pregnant from Kilgrave's rape and need an abortion" story line with Hope. Also, the show's stunt work and fight choreography is tame and uninspired. The scenes lack the sophistication and creativity and attention to detail of Daredevil. And it definitely doesn't have anything that approaches that stunning one shot scene at the end of the second episode of Daredevil. Â Frankly, the villain isn't interesting or intimidating enough either. But the show is strong. Â Much stronger than any of the superhero shows on network TV. Â It's funnier than Daredevil was and I really like Jessica Jones the character. Â Please let the stunt choreographers from Daredevil do the fight scenes for Iron Fist. Â Daredevil is still the gold standard of superhero TV shows for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) I thought the fight choreography fit the character. Fighting is, and should be, an essential part of Daredevil. It doesn't need to be with Jessica Jones. Â Definitely agree about getting the Daredevil guy to work on Iron Fist fight scenes though.

visionary Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Finished it. Â Great show. Â I loved the villain and Jessica. Â Great acting, I thought they really embodied their characters. Â Ending spoilers It's kind of a shame that Kilgrave is dead, because he was such a dangerous threat and fun to watch in his own way. I thought it was a bit weird that Luke just took off too. Other than that no real complaints. Edited November 22, 2015 by visionary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 It's like a six episode story arc that the writers stretched for 13. Â I'm disappointed with all of the nonsensical directions the show took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Well, I loved it. I would've preferred Killgrave to die a more brutal way.  I can't wait to see where they take the show; if there's a season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Really loving it. Â Between JJ and Daredevil it feels like they're fleshing out the less earth shattering and grandiose, more down to earth side of the Avengers/Agents of Shield storylines. Â In a very enjoyable way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Jessica jones is no where near as accomplished a fighter as Daredevil is, it wouldn't make sense for her to have gracefully choreographed fighting scenes when she isn't a trained fighter and hadn't really tried to be a vigilante hero. I don't think the storylines were nonsensical, although I could've done without the whining of that twin sister. They have a purpose, and they've laid the groundwork to develop villains and story arcs for a second season. In some ways I see Kilgrave as a better villain than Fisk in Daredevil. Where Fisk would take a gangsters approach to dealing with his enemies and victims, some of Kilgrave's victims would've wished to have that fate than how he deals with them. I think all four individual series for the defenders team will have a certain theme and approach. We'll see Luke Cage and Iron Fist bring a different feel than Daredevil and Jessica Jones as well.

Spaceman Spiff Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Finished Jessica Jones, loved it. Â Netflix can't come out with the rest fast enough. Â I was never huge into comic books but these shows are great. Â I think I'm going to go back and watch Daredevil now.

Larry Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Granted, I know almost nothing about this. But I have to confess that this Civil War story sounds like too big a story for one movie. Although I've loved pretty much every thing Marvel has done, so far. And many of their films, I've been AMAZED at how much character they have put into their movies. So I'm prepared to be wrong.
