Might as well make a thread for this. Comes out in one month! I never read the Alias comic books, so this will be all new to me. Looks like it will be "quite dark"....

I know very little about the source, but I'm looking forward to David Tennant as Purple Man

This looks pretty good

Typical "is that black guy Luke Cage?" question right here.

Yes. Yes, he is.

Is Jon Jones ducking Jessica Jones?

God damn Tennant. You're gonna make this fucking series work.

Never really followed Jessica Jones in the comics so I wasn't too excited when this first got announced. Trailer makes it look pretty good though. :y:

Like you didn't know that already...
It's Tennant

Alias is actually extremely good. You should look it up. Can't find it on marvel unlimited because it's a max title but it's totally worth reading.

Just renewed Netflix membership. 20 minutes to go. Let's do thisssss.

Damm. Maybe not. Just read it'll be uploaded at midnight America time. I'm sure Daredevil was uploaded midnight UK time on our Netflix.

Oh well. I'll just watch some in the morning before work instead of tonight.

Holding off on watching this until after Thanksgiving.

On vacation then and I'll have something to watch.

So far so good.
Might limit myself to 2 a day to stretch it out.

Purple Man has a good level of creepiness in the first ep. Think I'm gonna try and watch a couple of episodes tomorrow morning, then hinge whatever's left on Sunday.

Might start on this later today but I'm feeling a bit burned out on TV, been playing catchup since I got back from holiday. Reviews look good, so hopefully it's going to be up to Daredevil standards.

Will watch the first episode of this or so with dinner tonight then do the rest at work or something.

Jessica makes me milky and horny call me at 914-966-0600 or text me heyKIRA at #45678

Super looking forward to this series. Going to try and binge it over the weekend.

On the last two eps left.

So, I finished this already.

Halfway through the season and I like it. Not as much as Daredevil but this can definitely stand on its own. I just wonder if this is going to go like Heroes with a villain that can't be matched in future seasons.

Fight scenes are a bit shit. All Jessica does is throw people or lift them off the ground. I don't think she's even thrown a punch yet.

I guess it sort of makes sense since she's not trained to be a fighter, just has super strength, just doesn't make for extremely interesting fight scenes.

Tennant is Fantastic though.

Spent last night trying to sleep, but pondering this show...

Yeah pretty much. Now that I finished the season I understand that

Finished it.

Awesome show.

Kilgrave is probaly MCU's creepiest villain yet. Loved him and everybody else.

Reuben's twin sister/lover whatever that was is the most bizarre character and story arc I've seen in some time.

After today I'm not gonna be on this spoiler tag thing just like DD. You had a weekend. Ye be warned.

A weekend really isn't "appropriate time" for spoilers.... but yeah, people should probably just stay out...

Did you enjoy Daredevil, though?

i'm about six episodes in, digging it heaps and v impressed etc but my issue is less with the show itself than its role in the mcu and what it says about how fractured marvel's 'shared' universe has gotten when you've got not only major franchise characters that can't be referred to by name ("the big green guy", "the flag waver" etc) or their actions only get referred to in passing ("the incident", "dropping a city out of the sky"), not to mention the barely noticeable tv adventures of s.h.i.e.l.d, but you've got two shows on the same freaking network/streaming service/whatever that are supposed to be part and parcel of establishing a big ol' team-up show down the line but feel barely related at this stage. maybe i am speaking out of turn having not yet watched to the conclusion, i don't know.

i know there's a crossover still to come with the night nurse and all but like... no passing reference to the vigilante running around hell's kitchen? the fact that there were like... several explosions in a few days in the neighbourhood? daredevil was literally all over the frigging news in his own show, but to watch jessica jones you wouldn't know it. there have been plenty of opportunities for throwaway references - not even direct ones TO murdock, but even just things in his universe; jeri could've offered to refer hope's case to the other big firm that matt and foggy left to start theirs, for example, just to show this is still the same borough, much less the same universe.

just seems weird that on arrow/flash, every other week it's "cisco whipped this up at star labs" or "i sent this to caitlin" or "barry couldn't be here", or once or twice a season, "holy shit it's barry and caitlin and cisco" and it's like, YEAH, arrow and flash SHARE a universe. this is nice. this is good. this is how it should be. it's not JUST the payoff of having robert downey jr show up at the end of your hulk movie so that it can be claimed to be 'in continuity'; especially on tv, it's the week-to-week reminders that this is still a part of something bigger that also count.

i get that jessica jones, being a max book, technically occupied her own little corner of the marvel universe anyway, but her best friend was carol danvers and she solved cases for superheroes and luke cage became an avenger, so she didn't exist in a vacuum. and with things moving towards defenders faster than they seem prepared for, i don't know if playing it the same way they played the pre-avengers films - ie completely separately - is the best path to take. or, if it is, then the singular 'shared universe' maybe doesn't matter off the big-screen as much as we thought it did.

tl;dr: show is amazing but the singular mcu seems increasingly vague and unnecessary

Keep watching but yeah nothing like what CW does.

Will have to see wha tthe Second season of Daredevil does as well as Luke Cage

Solid show. Dark as fuck. Wasn't impressed with the villain at first but he wound up being one of the best. Not really interested in a Luke Cage show to go along with Jones and DD though. Whatever. Really enjoyed this.
