Tapping out at 7… 
Killgrave…GOD-DAMN!! JESUS H. CHIRST!!!
And poor Luke. :sad:
I pretty much did.
Mother fucker begs me for two weeks to watch it with him, and explain shit, then basically becomes a pest during the first two episodes. He is like that all the time. Fucker wonders why I won’t play games with him no more, but doesn’t understand that pausing every twelve seconds to send a text is infuriating.
Just finished it a couple hours ago. Tennant really slayed it, dammit.
Spoiler
I have to say Simpson’s “revelation” caught me off guard, didn’t connect even though the surname is the same…
Truly on a whole another tone than DD, didn’t feel like comic book-based at all in a good way (then again, Alias doesn’t either).
Spoiler
Wow, Jess going full dominatrix in this ep 
This red headed neighbor is DRAWLIN’
Tennant putting the WHO?! in Doctor Who.
What I mean is Purple Man is fucking killing it. Just finished 6 eps so far.
setting up Hellcat nicely.
Apparently they tried to get him for Alias back in the day but he was all busy.
He’s fucking incredible so far, definitely a great pick. Why is it the TV shows seem to know how to do villains right, yet the movies drop the ball so badly? Loki was the only movie villain that didn’t fall flat on his face, meanwhile Kingpin and Purple Man have been fucking incredible.
Pretty sure you meant shows not films but I agree nontheless lol
On episode 8, that revelation about Luke’s wife was a swift punch in the gut, mane.
Killgrave BETTER show up in more TV shows after this, Tennant to strong not to use again
Police captain dude annoying as fuck some times too. Dude insistent on getting in the way
While I agree on the principle, Killgrave in particular has been a lot of show, don’t tell, at least in the first half of the season. Like, the scene in the trailer where he goes to ask for an apartment would fit well in a film. In one small scene, you show what the villain looks and sounds like, and how absurdly dangerous he is - not just his power, but also his mindset.
I’m sure the series will delve deeper than that, but I’m just saying that I think he as portrayed early on is plenty threatening and intriguing enough for the big screen.
Holy shit, the end of episode 8
Just finishing the series up now and it’s wrapping up nicely. Killgrave is easily one of the best villains in the MCU. He is truly despicable with no hope of salvation. Jones made for a good, troubled protagonist. I like the much more personal tone the Netflix MCU can give us. Interested to see where they go for Season 2 and definitely interested in Luke Cage.
Spoiler
The show sets itself up well for plenty of cameos with Daredevil, especially considering the comic history of all the characters in the Netflix MCU. I was kind of disappointed when Temple subtly mentioned DD but he made no appearance, but that’s only because I am a big DD fan. Also I was kind of bitter with how Killgrave went out. Yeah he deserved it, but they have so few credible villains at this point.
Just finished. Was dope and setup nicely for Luke Cage.
I enjoyed how Purple Man was basically just a super powered stalker. The MCU Netflix shows are able to personalize and display the characters in ways that viewers can relate to unlike anything else Marvel or DC is doing.
Seriously, fuck this Robyn bitch. Just had to screw things up
I’m only on the third episode, but this is awesome. I’m loving it.
Killgrave needs to ascend to Avengers villian status.
Didn’t Zemo and Hydra recruit his ass for their plans.
Purple Man wasn’t much of an Avenger’s villain. He basically sent other people to get their asses kicked by them in the comics (such as Jessica Jones). He fought the Defender’s and Heroes for Hire a lot, though. I think when Jessica got her ass kicked by the Avengers, she had been sent by Kilgrave to take out Daredevil, and got his costume mixed up with Scarlet Witch’s.
The show is just way too slow and repetitive to my taste =/ The beginning is nice, but by episode 6 it just didn’t work to me.
I think Killgrave would work as a secondary Avengers villain in the movies, probably not the main antagonist tho
As I said before, that “Emperor Stark” episode Killgrave was in was one of the best episodes of Avengers: EMH in my opinion
Yea that’s what happened. She almost knocked her head off. Then the Avengers beat her down something vicious, so bad that they apologized after the fact. If it weren’t for Carol Danvers recognizing her, she’d be dead.
It wasn’t until you posted this that I realized how much I enjoy watching television by myself. I asked about the Netflix party chat earlier in this thread and I came to the conclusion I wouldn’t have liked that at all. I prefer being able to sit in silence w/o someone asking questions, trying to start a conversation, joking around, etc.
My only little gripes about the show is that while I understand neither Jessica or Luke are trained fighters at this point, they downplayed their strength a bit too much in every fight scene besides the initial one in the bar. The other is I couldn’t get past the black hair for Jessica Jones. Probably because I finished Alias a week or two ago and that depiction is still clear in my mind on top of all the other comics I’ve read over the years. Not a big deal, but it did affect my viewing a small bit.
Coulter was an awesome Luke Cage. Enough said.
As for Purple Man… wow. The levels of disgusting stuff he did to people was really compelling. I wish they would’ve kept JJ’s time with him closer to what it was in the books simply because I feel that was worse - watching him rape and kill women and then being forced to beg to be raped. Though I suppose it wouldn’t play as well with the love angle they introduced, whereas in the books he just wanted to torture her more.
9/10 for me.
