Comicopolis Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Looks good! Am I the only one who was hoping the Purple Man would actually be purple? It would have been interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Give it time. He may actually BE purple but we're not going to find out that he's been tricking everyone into seeing him with a caucasian skin tone until near the end? I'm convinced we're going to see some really weird & disturbing things with this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 the netflix shows are trying to be as grounded as possible in reality. I doubt they would make him purple as it would be distracting from the story they are telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I don't think something like him actually being purple (but even the viewer not knowing it until then), if you find out near the end of the story, would distract much FROM the story. It would just add another layer. Show him Caucasian for like 99% of the story & then in one moment near the end, showing that he's actually purple would be a cool twist on top of the climax of the story. Like DD getting his actual costume just before the final battle with Kingpin. Edited October 27, 2015 by Doktor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) it would be very much like the DD costume, but considering most people see that as the only weak point in Daredevil's S1, I would assume they dont feed fanboys anymore at the expense of breaking the tone/quality. I think them trying to establish the gritty, dark, realistic street level world, is their primary focus. If they can have a purple colored person while doing that, they will. I just dont think it moves the story forward at all, and they would see it as a risk of degrading the tone. Edited October 27, 2015 by CBT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness though, I think people that said that the costume moment was the weak point of DD S1 was because they didn't really like the costume (too much black & not quite DD-ish enough for me) more than the "it took me out of the story".

That would be an interesting poll, I feel a lot took the other side of it. His dark costume suited the story and tone, and it was jarring (and felt forced) when he was in the suit, That's my 2 cents. I think having a guy actually being purple colored, would feel "Batman & Robin" ish. Maybe letting us see that's his "real appearance" and he warps everyone else's perception, or something like that could work. But seeing him purple for any extended period of time would be pretty far from the vibe the show has shown so far in the teasers/trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very familiar with the character from the comics, but if he really is physically purple in the comics, I think they could do it justice by simply having Killgrave be heavily laden with purple motifs. Have him wear purple, have his "powers" seem to invoke a purple aura in people, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting he's Killgrave the whole time. I wouldn't be so sure - if he were a "villain of the week" like in AoS, I agree, he'd simply be Killgrave (like Crusher Kreel vs. Absorbing Man) but I think he'll be referenced as the Purple Man at least once throughout his entire series arc. Wilson Fisk wasn't addressed directly as the Kingpin, but the word "kingpin" was used to describe him several times, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Look at all that purple. Netflix has released a new image from Marvel’s Jessica Jones. The image shows Jessica (Kristyn Ritter) approaching Killgrave (David Tennant), who is standing on a stage behind a miccrophone. We know that “the Purple Man” can control people’s minds, so perhaps the microphone is to amplify his power of suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
