Jessica Jones Season 2 March 8, 2018

Yeah, when they announced Jeri was dying I was relieved as I feel her character brings nothing to a super hero show. Now if the show was a law procedural then maybe. But super hero no.

 

Doubtful Jeri does. Usually it’s the deal of trying some radical cure/procedure and gaining super powers from it. For instance, like Jessica’s mom. That is the usual MO in the Marvel universe.

 

Spoilers ahead.
I like JJ the most out of all the Netflix Marvel shows, (and frankly, the entire Marvel universe), but Season 2 was a fail for me. I think it's because Season 1's villain, Kilgrave, is the greatest Marvel villain we've seen, because he got everyone else to do his dirty work. He was a lazy supervillain, which makes him even more hateable. So Season 2 had a lot to overcome, and I don't think having her mother be the big bad worked at all. In fact the best episode for me was the one with Kilgrave getting inside Jessica's brain once more. And then we get the hopeful ending? This is not why we love Jessica.

 

Hampering my enjoyment of the tv series is my suspicion that the comic book character never gets out of her funk.

 

Just finished the 10th episode and I'm really digging the development of the Season, thus far. And learning through Carl that Shane and whatsername weren't even at IGH and having cleaned out Jeri's apartment was stone cold! Sure, Jeri isn't a very nice person herself but Jessica's warning to her was a little too late unfortunately.

OK, 3 more episodes to go? I've already done about 6 episodes this evening and still so much to catch up on, including The Punisher.

 

Keep watching. Jeri gets even worse. No redeeming qualities whatsoever is probably the way I would describe her.

 

I enjoyed Season 2, not as much as 1 but dang it was still good. I liked the slow boil. . . .

Right now I'm listening to this. No, this Jessica Jones doesn't have superpowers but she can play!

I enjoyed this. Interestingly what many seem to feel as "dragging" and "lacking plot" I see as a good video adaptation of the comic book experience. Lots of catch and release in comics, and either sudden jagged character development or long drawn-out character development. I thought the child molestation plot with Trish was a bit daring if a red herring to the main plot, and the Jeri character a very Marvel universe "anti-villain" that has a place in this tale. Jessica coming a bit out of her "destroyed family" loner prison this season is promising for a new color in future seasons as is Trish's blooming transformation. Season 1 may have been a bit better, but I found this one very interesting and a nice continuance.

 

'Nuff respect, that man. I too thoroughly enjoyed Iron Fist. Not sure what everyone's downer on it was. Great series. Hope there's another.
Love the relationship building between him & Luke Cage, which carries over into Cage's 2nd series too.

 

IMDB lists September 7, 2018 for Season 2 of Iron Fist, but that’s the only place I’ve seen that.

 

Good to hear. Ta!

 

It has been announced all over that Iron Fist Season 2 will air in the Fall of this year. IMDB is the only place I've seen an actual date as well though.
