HarveySwick Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 For everyone poo-pooing on the trailer and the potential for the show... Have you read the book? Honestly? If not, you're missing out and I can understand your lack of excitement. The book is one of the best series I've read in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveySwick Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Jessica Jones has nothing to do with the Bahrain episode, and the subject matters (Rape, Abuse, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Sexual Empowerment, Pregnancy, Abortion, Inter-Race Relationships, Power and Responsibility, being a victim vs overcoming it, PTSD, etc) covered by this show will be very significant to a lot of people.. The critics, blogs, and media will absolutely go bonkers for it, and the quality and tone of the show appear to be spot on with the Netflix Universe. CBT vs. Jaydogrules...

Ghost Town Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I think the trailer looks pretty great. And it looks like Detective Lester Freamon from The Wire makes an appearance too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBT Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) its so good...just went through the copper forums, and the heating up on ebay thread, and a few other places to gather up all the names to plug-in. It's like night and day, makes the forums completely readable and enjoyable. It's really really awesome. Even people using it against oneself is great, because it just ends the arguments. Completely erases them when viewing threads, but leaves them alive to PM, as well as seeing threads they create. The add-on lets you toggle the -script on and off too, if you need to, and removing them from the list restores them to your site. Epic "people" could be continuing to argue in this thread and I wouldnt even know Edited November 11, 2015 by CBT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAHokie Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 For everyone poo-pooing on the trailer and the potential for the show... Have you read the book? Honestly? If not, you're missing out and I can understand your lack of excitement. The book is one of the best series I've read in awhile. Agreed. I had no idea who Jessica Jones was, until either you told me or I heard about it due to show. I bought the entire series and read it almost immediately. It was really that good, especially for a character no one cared about. The sequel (kinda) called the Pulse was ok as well but not as good as Alias.

Doktor Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The Pulse suffered from being an all-ages book. Had it continued as a MAX title, I think it could have been a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, you're missing out and I can understand your lack of excitement. The book is one of the best series I've read in awhile. +1 I, like many, had no idea who Jessica Jones was when Marvel made the Netflix Line-up announcement. I know & love DD, PM, & IF, but who the heck is Jessica? So.... I bought the TPBs. What a great read!!! So well written. She's one of my faves now. And it looks like Netflix has really captured the essence of the comic quite well. It's going to be as big a hit as Daredevil was! You can take that to the bank.

If not, you're missing out and I can understand your lack of excitement. The book is one of the best series I've read in awhile. Harvey I am approaching it as the un-initiated might. The vast majority of the potential audience for this show have not read the comic and will not read the comic. From that standpoint the trailer failed to reach out and grab you the way Daredevil did, IMO. Very little of the nature of the character or the themes involved you say are in the series came out in the trailer. The observation is similar to what many have said about the Preacher trailer (and they have a point as well).

cloud cloddie Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I thought the Jessica Jones trailer looked just as good if not better than the Daredevil one, and I've never read the books on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will side with you in your right to state your opinion, because you are NOT incorrect in what you're saying. If the themes didn't jump out at you, they didn't jump out at you, and someone can't tell you you're wrong for that. I will however, respectfully disagree - I was not hugely aware of JJ's story but I feel like I got much more than just the gist of it from the trailer.

I hated the Preacher Trailer and am super worried about where that show is headed. I have loved all the Jessica Jones spots so far and am super excited about it. I feel the JJ spots are capturing the mood. The Preacher trailer had nothing to do with the series I remembered reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't read Alias you don't know what to expect or look for and aren't familiar with the subjects that will be depicted. i can see Jessica Jones having more mainstream success than Daredevil and being a bigger hit. Just sayin. Go read the damn book THEN see if the trailer feels different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
