She isn't a hero. She's a mess. Even Luke Cage calls her out on it.

i feel like her "care" for all of the victims in this show was just a false mask. She only cared about pursuing kilgrave for her own piece of mind, and that persona of "I'm helping people" to squeeze things out of others for her own ends. She never gave a shit about the personal lives of anyone he actually affected.

The Junkie, Kilgrave, Luke, and Lester Freeman were the bet characters in this shit SJW garbage.

>>63122346
I think it was pretty easy to miss and poorly executed. But it's really The conversation with Claire and the phone messages and phone call at the very end of the series that setup the change that JJ went threw or was processing the rest of the show when she was being a self absorbed bitch. All her character growth happens in the last 20 or so minutes of the last episode. That was her redemption. And from the way most people talk about this show I'm not surprised if most people didn't stick around long enough to see it.

Look, the raceposters are obviously retarded, ineffectual, or memeing, but there's plenty wrong with this show. I wanted to love it and tried my hardest to keep an open mind. It's just not well written. The scenarios and plotting are mostly solid, if thin by the end, (Kilgrave is literally the only problem she faces throughout) but the dialogue and lots of decisions and motivations characters make or have are just really sloppy.

Why did Jeri's lover showing up at exes house at exactly the right time? She rattled off some excuse but narratively it was a huge stretch just to get her there.

Everyone in the cast being at kilgrave's cell, similarly. Just clunky and poorly directed.

And yeah, nothing productive or admisable could have come of that. I know Jeri said so, and Jessica growled who cares or something but it's true. It was stupid.

The sister following Malcolm to the meeting and somehow knowing everyone's name and rallying them against Jessica. She doesn't freak out about Malcolm's admission of her brothers murder or even think to go to police. Somehow knows about kilgrave and just buys that this mystery villain was behind it, but also fuck Jessica Jones.

And she's the one to knock Jessica out with a plank of wood because uh, the narrative called for it.

Kilgrave's mom showing up at the meetings was fucking stupid and convenient. His parents being around at all. And his working with his Dad toward the end was deflating narrative momentum.

Kilgrave's warm recollection of being happy w Jessica for 18 seconds, where she loved him back. Would he really forget she then tried to jump off a building?

No broken necks from anyone when the entire group hangs themselves. I guess the writers think they're supposed to suffocate? Even if the ropes were too short-why? No lasting consequences.

Cops don't notice apparent rope burns on every witness afterwards.
>>
>>63122768
Jessica runs into traffic and gets hit "He didn't even stop! Humanity sucks and don't deserve saving." Just indicative of the dour, sarcastic tone throughout. I get that's her characterization, PTSD and all, but it's really off-putting after a while.

Simpson all amped up and he can't even get through a bathroom door.

When people do go through walls, which is all the time, as the one effect is Jessica tossing everyone, it's way too clear they're thin prop walls. No effort to make them look substantial.

Jessica clearly could have just let Simpson kill Kilgrave from the beginning saving many lives. I know, muh projection on Hope, but it's true. Hope died, Kilgrave too. Simpson could have saved lives by ending it earlier.

Simpson literally tells her about the blue pills. When Patsy's down, Jess doesn't try to locate them. Yeah he threw em out the window or something but maybe Jessica can use her superpowers to jump down there real fast and get em.

Luke- "Do i need to know what happened here?" After getting back to JJ's apartment following the Simpson stuff
Jessica-"NO!"
But... he does. Especially immediately after her "I'm so sorry for not being trustworthy."

Patsy has important news! People are dying left and right! But Luke's cute, go do your thing girl lmao, nm.

Luke struggling to punch through or damage a car door as if he was a normal human.

Why risk Patsy with that meaningless ruse at the end? For what purpose? Fooled ya, it's not Jessica. "Shoot her." But no, because? There was no need for Patsy to sacrifice herself like that for momentary hide and seek.

"They say everybody's born a hero..." No, they don't. That's not a thing, but writers just thought it sounded nice.

Abysmal writing, lots of potential. It's a shame.

I blame that on the pills though. Army guy from the minute he stepped in and wanted to help. Spotted the tail that Jessica didn't, suggested sniping Kilgrave, said they needed a professional driver and a team for Kilgraves extraction. Tried to get Jessica out before he blew up the house. He was effective and capable and on the money about how the plans should have been executed the entire series until he got blown up. Blown up because JJ told Kilgrave about the bomb.

>>63122279
>How is this person a hero in any sense of the word?

She isn', that's kind of the point of the show. It's view on violence and vigilante justice is very similar to Watchmen. One where heroes are generally terrible people and even those that aren't end up being forced to do horrible things to achieve their goals. It makes a great deal of commentery and asks lots of questions regarding matters like the 'just following orders' dilemma, using deadly force to stop criminals, how much collateral damage can be justified and so on.

For example, Hope ends up in prison because Killgrave made her kill her parents. Society doesn't recognize Killgrave's powers and assumes Hope is a murderer because she doesn't have to follow Killgraves orders under normal circumstances. But apply that logic to say a chain of command in a military organization where people are forced to obey orders and you end up with a reality where a commander isn't responsible to anythig that happens in a war because he only gave orders. And on the flip side if Hope isn't reposible then you can say that the soldier isn't either and he can carry out any order no matter how terrible.

The show also examines concepts like revenge justice, in the case of Simpson waging his own little personal war on Killgrave, and vigilante justice in the case of the support group deciding to kill Jones. Notice for example that the lynch mob ends up literally hanging themselves, that's hardly an accidental piece of symbolism.
>>
>>63122932
It was anticlimactic as shit. The big ending was him trying to escape on a boat and have a dozen people beat each other up. Did they run out of funds? I was expecting the scale to be five times larger. He got a giant boost to his powers and yet nothing fucking changed.
>>
>>63123039

You're not wrong, but you're generously giving it a lot of credit for its poor execution of these themes. The Watchmen thing is a stretch, nowhere near the depth and forethought involved in that series.

>>63122932
>>63123056
You guys are retarded. You do realize that Kilgrave before he did that heroic shit told his neighbour to give the bomb to simpson and kill herself with it. He was only trying to get Jess's love, he wasn't sincere in the slightest and if you thought so you are pretty brain dead even for capeshit.

Regardless of the quality of the execution, the themes are still there. Also, Watchmen having an influence on the show doesn't mean I say it's a better show, it's just pointing out that actually the show isn't exactly breaking much new ground since capeshit cover this kind of stuff decades ago.
>>
>>63123056

It really was, just mind bogglingly deflating and anticlimactic. "I'm not sexist but...." I feel like some of the problem is that female writers/showrunner aren't that well versed in action, comic books, noir, etc. And couldn't really carry out clever plot turns or intrigue within the genre.
>>
>>63122279
>How is this person a hero in any sense of the word?

In the ancient Greek sense, she's very much a hero - a person who performs great deeds and suffers greatly on their journey.

>She didn't even have any intentions of telling robyn that her brother died and was dumped in a river.

You're right. She intended to get herself thrown in a supermax prison for life by taking responsibility for it, though.
>>
>>63123130
kilgrave had no idea how to be sincere. he was literally fucked in the head from having shit parents who never even tried to raise him correctly. she could have taught him, but she didn't care and thought it best to torture and eventually snap his neck because the alternative would be just too hard and time consuming.

>>63123156

No you fucking retard, his parents tried to save him, he lied about the abuse, did you even pay attention? The series showed again and again that he lies about almost everything that comes out of his mouth.

>muh parents

Just fuck off dude.
>>
>>63123130

So she could still work with him to neutralize his potential violence rather than exacerbating it. He could have benefited from her friendship and guidance seeing as he'd never had either. Or she could have taken his life at an earlier point. She only made it worse, and racked up fatalities, because she stabbed him in the back.

Not that anon but calm down with personal attacks friend, it's only capeshit.

The truth about his parents was somewhere in the middle. There were other children after all. Their work was clandestine and immoral at best, and likely destructive to Kevin and however many other children.
>>
>>63123307
You again are missing the fucking point of grave's character, embarrassing, the entire arc of his character was even though he couldn't control her with his powers he was still in complete control. He was manipulating her and nothing he ever said to her was genuine, he just wanted her obedience because he is obsessed with control. How do you people even watch shitty capeshit shows like this if you can't even grasp the characters?

Because its the same thing. Yeah, that was supposed to be the crux of the tension there in that final scene but again, failed in the execution. Simply introducing, or understand a theme or what a scene is trying to communicate isn't the same as it's presentation being well done. The set piece didnt have to be grandiose, but it should be dynamic, memorable, something.

Right but they WERE trying to save him, Grave never said a full truth the entire time. The only time he states his real feelings for Jessica is when he's on the balcony and says he wants her to be in her own personal hell because he can't control her. Even without his powers he is a master of manipulation. That's why his character was so sinister.

>>63123389
Again he was still lying, once he got the powers he abused them indefinitely, and they WERE trying to cure his degenerative disease. He was always in control from then on, how fucking retarded can these c

Because they were trying to save him, that doesn't excuse what they did, they are both to blame, he grew up and had plenty of time to heal, he was a true born socipath who had no remorse at all and had no problems killing his parents who loved him in his own way and tried to cure him. People like you who let off truly evil people because of bad upbringings are absolutely bottom of the barrel mongoloids. They still have choice, he knows what right and wrong is, but once he got his powers he choose to inflict his will on people, even into his late 30's. honestly just fuck off man, you got blown the fuck out already, it's over

She only starts to have a better life after her daughter is born, because even in Pulse, when she thought everything was going to be ok, Luke Cage almost fucking dies, goes missing, she thinks she loses the baby because of Osborn and then, when she finally finds Luke, Danny says she's lying about the baby being Cage's

He wasn't. Being treated like a lab rat by the people who were supposed to teach and nurture him, then gaining powers that any 10 year old, yet alone one so scarred, would have a hard time understanding, then growing up with those powers, which where actually a curse...made him a sociopath

Also his mom stabbed him. They came there to kill him, so... he killed her instead.

I want to point out that I >>63123344 was meant as a reply to >>63123056. His complaint isn't that the execution is bad, but rather thant he scale wasn't big enough for him. Which is kind of an absurd thing to say when, as I said, the scene was trying to work a completely different angle than movies like Avengers where entire cities are leveled or getting lifted off the ground.

Also, you do understand that you and I are having two completely different discussions right? I'm talking about a theme of the show and you're talking about execution? That's like me talking about costumes and you responding by saying that the show had a shitty soundtrack.

Of course she came to kill him, she loved him but she knew he created a monster and that he had to be stopped. He made her burn half her face off with an iron, and literally has killed 100s of people by the power of sugesstion. I already said it doesn't excuse what the parents did, but grave KNOWS right and wrong, he isn't a 10 year old anymore, he's an intellectual who enjoys taking everything from people and will say anything to get the upper hand. Come the fuck on.

>>63123712
That's really the only description possible for people outright dismissing Killgrave's intent and actually thinking that he could change when they were at Jess's house, even though before they went to save people he already told her to detonate the bomb, and he had plenty of time to stop it before it happened. He does not give a fuck, and uses his parents as a justification for outright murder and complete disregard for human life. Of course they ran experiments on him, they were fucking ass holes, but at the same time they were trying to save him as well. I just don't get you people, normal non mentally ill people would learn forgiveness by that time. He would've made his parents kill themselves even if she never stabbed him. He was just waiting for his moment, playing the act until he again had the upperhand.

You bend over backwards to make your heart bleed for Kilgrave, probably because you're butthurt that the protagonist that took him down "is a feminazi" or some stupid shit.

Even if we go with your theory that he's not a sociopath, just because someone had terrible things happen to them, it doesn't give them a pass to do equally terrible things for the rest of their life. Some people can't be saved. Even people who have tragedy in their past. It's sad, but it's life. You acknowledge that they were hurt, but you still take them out because it's what needs to be done to save other people from being hurt.

just because someone tells a sociopath right from wrong, doesn't mean they know what it is inherently.

She would've killed him if it wasn't for hope. That was the only reason, truth is she wanted him to be alive in some twisted way, she kinda loved him just like the joker and batman love eachother. In a co-dependent psychotic kind of way.

That's what makes her an interesting hero. She's the postergirl for anti-hero and even at the end she is still reluctant to take the role of hero again. And do you know why? She actually was a superhero, but she got taken by Kilgrave and after that and what she had done under his influence she couldn't live with herself and the delusion that she could do good.

In the comics it's pheromones, why would the disregard the source material like that? Pheromones means he isn't as powerful as he looks, virus makes the whole pheromone bit seem more plausible.

To call it a rape doesn't really do it justice. Do you remember the Borg episode in TNG where picard get's captured by them? Then like 2 episodes later on earth literally breaks down in front of him because he regrets all he did and not being able to fight their grasp on him? It's just like that, rape is pussy shit compared to what Killgrave does to his victims.

Yeah.

>its very vague how strong she is and what she can do.
the problem is that their writers will ret-con her powers every episode, depending on what she's fighting. One episode she literally leaps from the street and "flies" away, another episode she can't jump over a crowd of people. One episode she can stop a moving car, another she gets overpowered by a roided-up cop.

So if the other shows are shit, then I shouldn't shit on this one?

Nah, Jessica Jones is a fecal pastry. It's easily the worst thing to come out of the MCU since Agents of S.H.I.T.

I'm not even talking about her relationship with Luke Cage. The story arcs were badly written and uninteresting, the action scenes were lazily done, the acting was subpar, and the overall tone had been accomplished much better many times in the past.
This simply isn't a good show, and its biggest fault is how hard it's trying to be. The rest of the MCU knows what it is and doesn't give a shit. This is working so hard on being serious drama it's kind of sad to see.

So yes, I am singling out this awful fucking television series for being exceptionally bad.

The show isn't bad, but it isn't great either. Kilgrave is great, and Ritter has her moments but i don't think she should be ever cast in a role that requires physical prowess.

Her fight scenes were terrible, she has absolutely no grace in her movement. Hell, the scene where Patsy eats Simpson pills and fights him was tiers better than any of Jessica's ones.

Luke Cage casting also sucks, there is absolutely no chemistry between him and Jessica, and he is generally played by a bad actor.

This bothered me the most.

Why the fuck even put Simpson in the show if you're gonna throw him away stupidly?
He is literally right about every single thing and forsees Jessica and Trish's multiple fuck-ups, telling them how they could have avoided it. Then he's suddenly the bad guy because he wants to make the people who fucked everything up so badly stand out of the way and take care of it himself?
