By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostThe show took too many liberties with her strength meter.Omg that part irritated me so much. It was such a dumb plot device to get Kilgrave to escape and setup Hope's suicide. So fucking unnecessary.
She can withstand being thrown through walls and having Luke Cage or a drugged up super soldier kick her ass but a whack or two by a neighbor who can barely hold up a two by four and she's knocked out until tomorrow afternoon?
By reilo Go To PostEva Green? She's like ten steps removed from Jennifer Conelly so she ain't touching Eva by a mile.
Prime Jennifer Connelly is the reason I have a type. Grew up loving her.

Of all of the weak points from the show that was the one where I just said "fuck it" and stopped trying to apply any sort of reason to what was going on.
It was a great show overall, and Tennant did an amazing job as Killgrave, but there were some definite shortfalls.
Finally finished it. Daredevil was better but this was ok too. I did feel like Kilgrave was introduced too early into the story, we should've gotten some more episodes of Jessica being a P.I. and maybe going against some minor villians first, because by the time he escaped again I wasn't feeling him anymore.
Wish there was more PI cases. That's essential to her character. The "power creep" was strange. One minute she's a glass cannon, the next she is on pat with comic Jessica. Shit was done badly. Don't know why they just didn't settle on her resilience. Jess can take what she can give.
Despite the show starting to fall apart near the end (imo) I still enjoyed it. Just finished it last night.
I think it needed to be less bloated. All the simpson stuff was pure garbage and could've been mostly cut and the show would've been better for it. Same with that one weird episode with that couple who wanted to mess JJ up.
Maybe keep it at 13 episodes but with 40 minute runtimes, or leave it at an hour but 10 episodes instead of 13.

For those hating on Simpson, you should know that he will show up more and should make an appearance on the other shows, especially on Daredevil if they ever adapt Born Again.
Nuke was cool. I figured he would show up in Daredevil because they changed his name from Frank to Will and they already have another Frank on that show.
I mean maybe they make that character good again but i dislike Simpson the way i disliked like 80% of the walking dead cast. I'm just constantly hoping they kill him because his character sucks, and not in a good way
Sounds like typical tone-deaf comic book discussions.
"- that character was lame in that story arc
- yeah but wait, it's so worth it just for those two issues when he makes a comeback, a thousand issues away from where you are"
No thank you. Poor writing is poor writing, even if the whole universe is more fleshed out elsewhere.

Though i wonder how much was the translation to TV than the comics themselves.

I wasn´t mentioned Nuke because he is going to be good. I didn´t have a problem with him on Jessica Jones.
So at the very end
Do yall think kilgrave actually did stop her on the docks, but only after his monologue and revealing of his plan to take her friend that she then had the power to overcome it. Because I didn't get the sense she was really in control the whole time. In my mind, His lack of, and then over inflated ego killed him. At first by doubting his own powers, and then doubting hers.

Nope. She needed to make him scream "stop", because if she just ran and killed him, she had no idea whether or not all of the bystanders would stop until they were all dead. Of course, once you get him to stop the bystanders from killing each other, you can't just then attack him. By the time you close that distance he can just scream out "everyone kill each other" in the 1 second it takes for her to move forward enough to kill him.
Remember though, she knows how he operates. So she knew that if she convinced him she was under his control, he'd eventually get close enough to her because ownership of her was always the goal - so she could kill him before he could utter any other orders. (Like how she knew a public radio insult would make her sister a target and a public apology would get the bullseye off her back). She understands how he thinks - but as she said - He's never died before, she needed to make sure everyone was safe before she killed him.
The thing I'm interested in is whether or not his father was outside the realm of his control. I think it's clear that the "antidote" worked because he hesitated in the restaurant and smiled at Jessica before pretending to be under Killgrave's control. I'm just not sure whether it's a one time spray thing or whether it needed to keep being applied. We saw him consistently talk back to Kilgrave in a way that no one under his control does. They just stand there and wait to take orders silently but His dad kept talking back and arguing with Kilgrave, he also incrementally increased Kilgrave's powers although Kilgrave kept asking for a more drastic improvement. Same with the hand in the blender situation. Most people just do as they're told with no emotional distress on their faces - but you can see the distress on his father's face as if he was still in control but needed to play along. I think he was essentially buying time, he knew what about Jessica made her immune (he made the antidote from her blood after all) and purposefully didn't give Kilgrave the means to control her. He stayed along and did his job for the same reason he stepped forward in the restaurant. By pretending to be under Kilgrave's control he had a measure of influence over the situation. That's just a theory.
