Marvel’s Jessica Jones (Netflix) Review

Marvel Entertainment has created an empire based on expertly crafted, fun blockbusters, and that universe is ever expanding through television shows such as “Jessica Jones“.

As a foil to Jessica, Kilgrave is one of Marvel’s most personal villains so far-and that deeply intimate connection to the hero of Jessica Jones amplifies all of his actions, in such a way that even though his threat is specific to a single character, he still feels as wildly unsafe (and arguably at points even more so) than huge villains like Ultron or Loki.

“I’m pounding vitamins and oregano oil”, Ritter said. An attribute that eventually links the two in a relationship that is more sensual and complicated than anything we’ve seen from Marvel. More importantly, someone who has never seen a single Marvel Studios film, or even read a comic, can jump right into season one without fear.

But many would justify that this detail alone is enough to write things like “Supergirl vs. Jessica Jones” and determine which series is better. She has also been a love-interest for Matt, and there was a possible reference to her made in Season 1.

Maybe you’re saying, “Well, didn’t Daredevil establish that tone?” “So it’s about building all of those situations and your reactions to those situations”. Now that the binge-watch is over (boo-hoo), I’ll be reviewing one episode per day, but for those of you who are better at this whole self-control thing, I’ll be staying away from significant spoilers for future episodes (but obviously, spoiler alert for this one). Meanwhile Jessica is a dark, prickly tomboy – but just as attractive. She doesn’t advertise them, but she doesn’t deny them. While the shows and the movies exist in the same universe, they could not be further apart in style and direction.

Just as the best Marvel movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier excelled by channelling spy thrillers, Jessica Jones works as a combination of hard-boiled detective movies like L.A. Confidential or The Big Sleep and the disturbing sex appeal of the Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan-led serial killer series The Fall.

But when the protagonist of your series has super strength and the power of flight (or, in her own words, “guided falling”), you occasionally have to hold off on the sleuthing and let her throw down. “She is who she is”.

Marvel’s newest Netflix series, Jessica Jones, dropped on Netflix on November 20. But Ritter doesn’t see Jones as a character that’s exclusively defined by her gender.

When we meet Jessica, she is a private investigator struggling to recover from her time as a victim of Kilgrave, a shadowy supervillain with the ability to control people’s minds. He doesn’t have to pretend to be your friend to get what he wants because he can get it instantly. “I don’t want to play that”.

Jessica Jones continues to be an antidote for the lack of thoughtfulness in the big-budget Marvel blockbusters by showing the repercussions of the Avengers’ actions. We won’t need to say “female director x” or “all-girl rock band y” because it won’t be a surprise or a victory, it’ll just be normal. It is sad though that we won’t see more of Kilgrave, since his character was one of a kind. But I wanted to experience the damage that it does.

But at the same time, I feel like I’m watching a different show to a few episodes ago.

I don’t mean to gloss over some of the softer moments of the show, because there are some. I’m so proud and happy for her for landing a part that she totally shines in. In short, he’s the monster of the tale.

Episode 2 opens with Jessica in an interrogation room, having a relatively antagonistic conversation with the police about the murder of Hope’s parents: “I’m licensed”. How dark the material was.

Marvel’s Jessica Jones is not queer-inclusive.

Ritter has described Jessica Jones as a feminist show, but not because Jones is a major badass.

“At the beginning, the most important element of this character was to be able to deliver a dryly comedic line”, Rosenberg says.

This inevitably leads us to getting the most simple and easy-to-understand villainous archetypes: the world destroyer.

The range was essential to a story that bravely explored the journey of a survivor and her healing. Cage is also a superhero trying to fade into an ordinary lifestyle.
