Why does /tv/ hate this show so much?

Is it because of the
- strong female lead roll
- strong female supporting cast
- the interracial relationships
?

I know it's hard to understand, if you haven't been in contact with the real world for a while, but it's not 1920 anymore. So shows are obviously changing too.

I just finished this and I think this might be the most SJW/Tumblr thing I have ever seen in my life. Let's go through the list of bullshit.

>feminist main hero
>white make evil villian
>white male villain uses rape against hero which is portrayed as absolutely worse than death
>5 unnecessary long winded interracial sex scenes with black side kick
>black man is a strong buck who is very smart and morns the death of a wife he apparently loved and was faithful to
>all secondary white characters are portrayed as incompetent or redneck stereotype
>white brother and sister family fuck each other and are both insane
>gay characters are everywhere
>gay marriage and divorce are issues explored
>gay main lawyer was gender swapped from the comic turning a proud straight white man into a cold lesbian woman
>secondary white male villian goes through a journey unlike a stereotypical MRA:
>unconfident white male gets mind controlled then falls in love with a woman but gets too clingy and demanding, forces her to adopt his thinking or else causes her to have conflicts wit h her female friend eventually goes off the deep end attacking both woman out of pure hate
>he literally takes red pills to make himself stronger, the more he takes the more vicious and irrational he gets
>when the woman tries to take the red pills it nearly kills her showing how bullshit it is

There is more but I think this covers the bigger points. Thoughts?

-action was horrible
-Jessica never flies
-like taken out by a shotgun
-daredevil never shows up.
-no increase/discovery of powers
-Jessica feels weak

I hate it because it's average, and so many people think it's the best show ever, but it's just painfully average,

That and way too many fucking Marvel shows on tv.

>uses rape against hero which is portrayed as absolutely worse than death
Agree with you on everything except for this. I would think rape would be worst then death since the rape will just keep replaying in that persons mind every second, of every hour, of every day, year after year. Some people would chose none existence then experience that kind of mental torturer.
>>

Def don't watch em all, I think I'm all burnt out on most of these super hero related shows(most of which suck dick, or are just there, not good not bad, they just exist). Not only Marvel, which will have even more shows in 2016.

Daredevil is the exception, followed by Gotham. I don't think it's the greatest, but I enjoy the show always liked Batman as a kid.

My favourite part is when JJ jumps 3 metres onto a fire escape and then you can see her arms shaking with effort as she tries to pull herself up and over the railings.

I didn't enjoy it for the following reason:

Terrible action scenes. Terrible choreography. Everything looked sloppy af. This IS in the capeshit genre, so stunt work is important.

Luke's BBC and JJ's big white feet did not bother me at all.

One that sticks out now is Luke saying Jessica can't fix him, because he's "unbreakable"

I dunno why you guys think this show is some SJW's wet dream. Personally I couldn't bring myself to finish it because I find the lel female heroes can only be rape victims who spend all their time chasing after their abusers trope both painfully boring and rather offensive.

I haven't watched this show but I'd be real surprised if it wasn't the same old "GURLS R STRONK" shit. American media is so fucked when it comes to "strong female characters" and it's not exclusively the fault of SJWs. And I think at this point it's too late to fix things.

1. She's a constantly unpleasant, insufferable cunt.

2. We see her as a kid, before the tragic events of her life, and she's still a fucking cunt.

3. She uses a physically perfect black man for sex, even though she knows she killed his wife.

4. She's bad at her job and has no professional work ethic. We see her doing other jobs before her work as a P.I. and she's terrible at those jobs too.

5. Every man in the series is either a chump (Luke) or a weak minded incompetent fool.

6. Kilgrave is literally regret rape personified. He's the classic "evil man who made her do it." He's the man that every woman blames for their trouble in life.

7. Kilgrave is a walking cliche. He's obsessed with her because he can't have her. He even finds her teenage diary full of all her whiny, cunty teenage diary bullshit.

8. She caused the death of her parents and brother because she's such a fucking cunt.

9. She's dirty and slovenly about her appearance.

Seriously, I could go on all fucking day.

This show is only praised because it pushes a social agenda, and nothing more. The lead character is a piece of human garbage.

A man creates a movie or TV show about heroes and it exemplifies everything that is best about the human spirit. Courage, self sacrifice, compassion, dedication, valor.

It's not.

Psycho-Pass is a detective series and even as the main character she's not physically strong, and mainly achieves success as a result of her cunning, negotiation, and detective skills.

Ghost in The Shell and Armitage III are much closer to Western "women are capable of being physically strong/er than men larger than them" tropes, although GiTS and Armitage III feature female leads with fully-cybernetic military-grade bodies.

Patlabor, a very old series, is also quite different as the female leads are simply talented pilots as a result of their training and temperaments.

So don't try to go make any more comparisons of things you haven't watched either.

The worst part of this show, the part that truly made me hate it, the characters, the writer and the female producer involved the situation with the incest couple.

The man in the relationship is obviously being controlled by his psychotic and abusive sister.

When he winds up dead in JJ's bed, her cunty best friend and a black drug addict do all they can to cover up the crime, even though there is clear evidence that someone else was involved.

(In before, "but kilgrave would just get away with it.)

That doesn't matter. They still could have told someone. They still could have given his family closure. Instead, what do they do?

First, they leave the body in the room for a few days. Next, they finally decide to dump it in the river.

Finally, JJ decides she needs to use it for her own selfish purposes. So she jumps in the river and rips the head off the corpse. She literally uses the corpse of a human being as a prop in her own sick game.

This man's life had absolutely no value to her. He wasn't even treated like a human being.

And when she's finally confronted by the crazy sister, who is now going insane with worry over her missing brother, she lies to her and covers up the death.

Hating this show is the right thing to do. The writers wrote this episode with a straight face, and were totally oblivious to the horrible, ugly moral implications of the whole story.

The worst part about it is her immediate reaction. "Kilgrave is ruining my life, he's never gonna leave me alone". She doesn't even take a second to be sad that the poor guy is dead because he just wanted to be kind to her. She doesn't give a fuck that his sister is broken up over it. She just cares how it affects her.

>>
>>63252745

the dialogue is cringeworthy and ritter is a shit actor

a lot of the stuff that happens is either nonsensical or happens for no reason (ie. when they first spend half an episode kidnapping Killgrave with the tranq dart, only for his goons to rock up and steal him right back before they even get to do anything to him, effectively wasting that entire half of an episode on a go-nowhere plot)

characters act in retarded ways, like when reuben's sister overhears that he's dead, instead of breaking down and mourning like a believable person she immediately rallies the other "survivors" into going to beat up Jessica (???), even making quips about "trendy guy" while she does it

killgrave is literally the only watchable character

Well I think the choreography was fine for what it was. Think about it, JJ and Luke aren't martial artists like DD. At the end of the day they're just regular people that are super strong and scared of killing people with their powers. It makes sense that all they do is throw people around. That being said, there are a lot of discrepancies in the way they depict JJ strength it varies so much.

>strong female lead roll
>strong female supporting cast
I can't be assed to pick up a new show with all the shit on my plate already, I'll just go ahead and ask.

When you say "strong female." Do you mean well-written, or just a woman portrayed with stereotypically male traits? Or perhaps some wish fulfillment Mary Sue?

I ask because a strongly written character will have flaws, be afraid, and have challenges that seem insurmountable at first. No matter what gender they are.

Whether I like or hate the show really depends on if she's just another cookie cutter "stronk womyn" character, or if she and the supporting cast are actually well-written.

Which doesn't mean they have to be "weak women" or have to rely on men. That's just as bad. Cardboard cutouts in either direction.

I just want them to be realistic, human characters.

But I see this is from Marvel, meaning she's a comic book character, so maybe I'm asking too much.
>>
>>63252855

Pretty thorough, honestly.
>>
>>63273583
>or if she and the supporting cast are actually well-written

The supporting cast - literally everybody except Jessica and Killgrave - are terrible. There's not a sympathetic, real-feeling person in the entire world except MAYBE Luke Cage (but that's to be expected since he's getting his own show so they had to spend a bit of extra money on a decent actor).
>>
>>63273580

But they're not trying to kill people. If you were super strong the safest way to deal with a normal person would be to grab them and toss them away or push them hard. You don't throw punches that's for sure. That's an easy way to accidentally put your fist through someone.

At the same time though JJ punches people in the face all the time...so whatever I just like playing devil's advocate and this show's really not as bad as people making it out be. It's just meh.
>>
>>63252855
If one of your points is going to be complaining about a character being gender swapped then a lot of your other points become moot since all they did was adapt the source material more faithfully for them.
>>
>>63252745
or is it just because it is really really boring ?
