I'm seeing rave reviews for Jessica Jones and I think I will start watching it. What does TV think of the show?
>>
it's the definition of mediocre
>>
>>64289372
It's really good and interesting.
>>
slow but pretty good

>>64289372
Good way to pass the the time while the wife is with her bull.

>>64289372
It's pretty good. I enjoy the darker aspects of the Marvel universe Netflix is willing to tell.
>>
>>64289372

It's interesting, but there's a lot of filler.

Worse than Daredevil, but still quality.
>>
been wanting to watch this. Does it just try to capitalize off the "girl power" movement tho or is it actually as good as journalists are saying?
>>
>>64289372
My wife's son loves it, haven't watched it myself though.

The commercials make her look like a tone-deaf 90s "badass" try-hard.

Looks like male to female. Too off putting.

Those aren't mutually exclusive.

Jewish shilling and interracial shit

Disgusting and deserves to be burnt
>>
>>64289530
I guess?

She's supposed to be a hard-boiled, hard-drinking detective. You're not supposed to think she's cool.
>>
Watched it solely for the villain. I think he's great, and I didn't much care for anything else. Except the secondary villain. He was pretty good too.
>>
They tried to make her this flawed and deep character but she just comes off as a complete bitch. Killgrave is really the only interesting character.
>>
>>64289530
That's exactly what she's like in the show.

I've watched up to episode 6 and so far it's been shit. Saw a slight bit of interesting characterization in the villain but that's it.

My ex wife's new husband, Jamal, loves it. Haven't watched it myself though.

There's literally only one scene in the whole series that resembles anything like "girl power".
>>
>>64289372
My best friends boyfriend loves it, haven't watched it myself though.
>>
>>64289372
It's actually pretty bad even if you let the cuck bullshit slide.
The plot goes nowhere and in the end most of it feels pointless.It's also full of filler.
The action scenes are lame and the only interesting character is Kilgrave, i didn't give a shit about anyone else.
Now the worst part is is the dialogue, that shit is laughable, the writing is actualy pretty decent
>>
>>64289527
It's watchable. But it's the weakest marvel series, in my opinion.
>>
>>64289734
...yeah, Agents of SHIELD is much better.

Moron.

My bulls wife loves it, haven't watched it myself though.

Pls no.
You don't want to see them, I promise

It's a 6/10 show. Pretty interesting main conflict and a really great villain, but everything surrounding it is bland, annoying, pointless or any combination of those three.
>>
>>64289795
It actually is

Looks like he struck a nerve there. Sorry your favorite show is shit bruh

When did tumblr take over 4chan?

AOS is low budget, procedural garbage. Jessica Jones is a tightly-knit story about one girl and one villain. They aren't comparable.
>>
>>64289372
they put too much sex in it for some wild reason, the female director obviously loves the BBC

stupid decisions made throughout.


Trish is fucking hot though. her sex scenes I wanked over they were pretty graphic when u could see the outline of her arse in silk covers grinding on that guys cock.

why didn't Marvel make her Captain Marvel is beyond me.
>>
>>64289976
I was mostly talking about how you got that defensive about the show. I don't even care about AOS

This absolut shit tier character alone prevents it from being a great show. Not that I'm implying it's a great show (it's mediocre), but even if it was this character would singlehandedly ruin it with her bullshit.

>In early episodes, Jessica is a bit of a drag: she’s like the self-image of every brooding brunette, a hot punk Daria in shredded Citizens of Humanity jeans and red lipstick.

>A modern TV show needs to be more than go-girl feminist to be any good. (If you doubt that, check out the absolute disaster that is the pilot for Amazon’s “Good Girls Revolt.”) And, truth be told, “Jessica Jones” wasn’t entirely my jam. It took five episodes for me to get interested—three too many, in these days of television glut. And only after the seventh and eighth did the cruel and clever plot twists (which include graphic torture) become truly gripping. In the early episodes, the pacing was logy and the action muddy, with several subplots that itched to be trimmed or recast.

>Still, right away I could tell what was firing up so many viewers, particularly online: in the world of Marvel Comics, a female antihero—a female anything—is a step forward. But a rape survivor, struggling with P.T.S.D., is a genuine leap. While the fact that “Jessica Jones” is Marvel’s first TV franchise starring a superpowered woman—and that it was created by a female showrunner, Melissa Rosenberg—amounts to a pretty limited sort of artistic progress.

It's super meandering.
>>
Well.

The first 8 or so episodes are quite boring. Very slow and not much action.

Last 5 are pretty good though, and it's no coincidence that they're the Kilgrave/Tenant heavy episodes, either. He's really the only thing the show had going for it. Season two will probably suck complete ass.
>>

I'm not overly-defensive about the show, I think praising A.O.S. is moronic, so I called him a moron. I don't get why my comment seemed so emotional to you.

>>
>>64290090
He didn't even mention AOS until you jumped to conclusions and acted all put out.
>>
>>64290085
Not really, and definitely not compared to A.O.S. with its dozens of characters and rival organizations and multiple storylines going absolutely fucking nowhere.
>>
>>64289976
It's not tightly knit, they let the villain go five times and the plot could have been settled easily if they weren't stupid about it.
>>
>>64290082

Yeah hits the nail on the head, the show isn't that great but because it handles subject matter novel for the genre people praise it as if it's the first coming of Feminist Christ.
>>
>>64290152
He said it's the weakest of the Marvel series, which means he placed A.O.S. above it. Now you're being a moron, too.

And no, pointing that out, doesn't mean I'm upset.
>>
>>64290167

I don't watch Agents of SHIELD because I don't hate myself much. Jessica Jones on its own is pretty meandering and slow-paced.
>>
>>64290007
someone get me this scene
>>
>>64290179
That's a shitty argument. Just because the characters aren't willing to throw away Hope's life like the badass cynic you are, isn't a fault of the show.
>>
>>64290208
So if he said it was the weakest besides AOS, you're telling me you wouldn't act like a bitch about it.
>>
>People arguing over which Marvel series is better.

It's like watching starving dogs fight over a piece of roadkill.

I loved Daredevil. Aside from the "reddit/sjw show" meme it was WAY TOO LONG and pretty repetitive, also its not as well directed than Daredevil
>>
>>64290255
Needs of the many, bro. If they had just killed killgrave to begin with, Hope would have only gotten like 20 years. They even discuss it.
>>
>>64290257
Once again, I'm not overly-defensive about the show. You're projecting.
>>
>>64290046
Is that Theon Greyjoy?
>>
>>64290281
or a bunch of fags fighting over the last dildo
>>
>>64290341
It's apparent how defensive of the show you are by the way you jumped to calling him a moron instead of having a real discussion about it.
>>
>>64290335
>Needs of the many, bro.

Right, but we're talking about a superhero here. Needs of the many is something that would occur to a military man or political leader. Essentially, someone like the police officer in the show.

A former costumed hero who wants to save everyone? She would want to save Hope under all circumstances. 20 years is a long amount of time.
>>
>>64290381
Moron isn't a particular strong or acerbic insult, nor does it somehow render what I'm saying a "false" discussion. Whatever that means.
>>
>>64290411
That's fair, except she doesn't really want to be a superhero. And 20 years isn't as long as a life sentence.
>>
I finished episode 4 last night, does it pick up soon?
>>
>>64289372
>I'm seeing rave reviews for Jessica Jones and I think I will start watching it
Same thing with TFA and you know why?

Left wing "progressive" politics.

It's time to take the red pill, anon.
>>
>>64290460
A false discussion meaning there wasn't any substance to the post, besides calling him a moron. The word itself isn't really the point I was making.
>>
>>64289372
A piece of shitt.
The only good thing in JJ is Luke Cage, the sex scene are mheee.
>>
>>64289372
My sons wife loves it
>>
>>64290484
She doesn't want to be a hero, sure; but she still wants to save everyone. That's why she could never just let the druggie kill himself despite being annoyed by him. That's why she won't leave Luke Cage alone.

It's her nature. It's what made her want to be a hero in the first place. People like Captain America or Spider-Man always try to save people. Would you or I just let Hope rot away in prison? Sure.

But that's why the show isn't about us.
>>
It's typical Buffy-esque urban fantasy fluff. The main villain is underdeveloped and the main character has no real feelings besides rage.

The good part: it's set in a darker corner of the Marvel world where ordinary people hate superheroes and are willing to do anything to kill them.
>>
nope! not falling for it
>>
>>64290509
But there was substance behind the post, you were just triggered by (a frankly mild) insult there at the end. Clearly it upset you, and now you're projecting this emotion onto me.

Moron is the tamest thing you can be called on here, I have no idea why it has affected you so much.

>>64289372
It's unwatchable by the third episode, sadly.

I don't understand all the praise it gets.
The dialogue is awful, the acting is meh and the camera work gets worse every episode. I dropped it 5 episodes in.
I understand that progressiveness is good but when movies do it at least they are very competently made 12 years a slave and Carol look very pretty. This show was praised just for what it was trying to do not how it did it.

Both Daredevil and JJ have a problem in that they feel like they have enough material for eight solid episodes but they need to fill a 13 episode season order, so around two-thirds in the shows both start to spin their wheels and meander around with nothing exciting happening

Right after Stick showed up Daredevil wasted time with the triads to set up the Iron Fist show that isn't happening and after Jessica played house with Kilgrave they spent three episodes sitting in that jail cell and he escaped over and over again. Don't even get me started on the support group deciding to attack Jessica out of nowhere

Just finished this show, should I start Daredevil?
