Jessica Jones Netflix Alias #1 0

[Kyle R.]

What material will they be using though ?

They didn't even have enough for one "season". And the character was wearing pretty thin even by the end of it. I think Marvel/Netflix is smart enough to know what shows and characters really did work and translate well (Daredevil), and which ones were noble experiments that didn't quite pan out (Jessica Jones).

I know most enjoyed the show, but wouldn't most people have enjoyed it more if was 8 episodes? Edited December 24, 2015 by Revat

As long as JJ keeps on getting schlonged by Luke, there will be plenty interest and continuity for this character/show

I actually think that this won't get a second season. BUT I do think there will be a Heroes for Hire tv season at some point, like a true detective show with Luke and Danny investigating a weird case that keeps crossing the path of Jessica Jones.

 

It is funny you mention the JJ issue, I have several non-comic friends and family who loved Daredevil but hated JJ. In fact, I just had this discussion with my sister-in-law about this subject today. I know several people here on the boards have raved about it, but how many non-comic fans liked that series? My sister-in-law just said it was dark and none of the characters were likable.

 

I haven't watched it yet and so far I'm being told it was not good. I never read the comic, only have a passing familiarity with Daredevil when he crossed over with other MU heroes, and I did enjoy the first 5 or 6 episodes of Daredevil (another series I have yet to finish.) Is JJ a series I will enjoy?

[N/A]

The book will come back to its' $350+ selling point, it is just a matter of time.

 

Looks like I will be sitting on my CGC 9.8 slabbed #1 for about a year, because I am not going to let it go at the levels it is presently going for.

 

JJ is guaranteed to have a role in Netflix's Hero For Hire and Defenders:

 

http://marvel-movies.wikia.com/wiki/The_Defenders_%28Netflix_series%29

 

From what i read in the linked threads, contractual issues prevented a second season of Alias to beging shooting intil Defenders shooting was completed.

 

Those 2 series will revive interest in her character, which in all likelihood, will propel the second season of Alias to begin shooting after Defenders is wrapped up.

 

that bet.

If you don't like dark, skip it. It isn't a "happy" story. I personally liked it but I like all good material whether it be lighthearted, middle of the road, or ultra violent. The villain in the TV show was much better than the same guy in the comic and I really liked how bad he was in the book. Everybody that has mentioned it to me had mostly positive things to say. These boards are the only place I've seen negatives.

 

Rotten Tomatoes reviews are very high

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/jessica-jones/s01/

 

As are IMDB

If you already have netflix, it won't cost anything to give it a try.

Agreed... Everyone outside of these boards loved it. Including my wife who doesn't care for anything comic related.

[Crimebuster]

I thought it was excellent.

 

I have no idea if you'd enjoy it though. Just because something is good doesn't mean it's enjoyable.

Yup.

 

That is why JJ will have a role in Defenders and Luke Cage......which will help build momentum....and more plot lines to explore in tandem...for a 2nd season of Alias.

 

The book is seeing a slump now, not surprising as she is not presently being shown on other Netflixs shows but that will likely change soon enough.

There's not going to be a second season of this show.

 

You can feel free to rub this declaration in my face if I should be proven wrong. (I won't be).

 

The book isn't in a"slump" right now. It is at the end of its speculative cycle and the masses (speculators) are dumping all their copies now to move onto the next "thing".

-J.

 

So you say.

 

Based on the overall interest in the character, the show being a hit and the near definitive fact that JJ will be in Defenders and Cage, I have to disagree.

 

KR stated she has to be tight lipped about a 2nd season, due to contractual obligations WRT the timeline of Defenders being filmed.

 

My take is that around the time Defenders hits, the 2nd season of Alias will be promoted.

 

Look at the Strain #1, for comparison of speculation cycles.Even with the 2nd season being confirmed, the book has slumped even further than Alias #1 has.When the Strain comes back on air, prices will shoot upwards again.

 

Speculators/collectors are a fickle, short sighted group.That explains drops and surges in prices.Overlooking the forest for the trees is a perfect analogy.

 

The market on these sorts of books invariably comes in cycles.

 

Even well established books like Walking Dead are subject to this.

 

The market fluctuates greatly but it always corrects itself.

 

Keep in mind I am not suggesting Alias #1 will not be a $1000 or $2000 book but I think , after interest/speculation is piqued again, it will likely hit the $400 mark.

 

That is why I am not joining the herd and selling my CGC 9.8 for $250, now.

 

I will say that if I had the CGC 9.8 #1 in my hands a couple months ago, I would have taken $350 for it.

You may want to check your data again. Your examples do not justify your claims on the future prices of alias. Also keep in mind the Alias market more closely resembles the movie hype price than it does a TV show price. It was a real long movie given how it was released.

[Real Elijah Snow]

There's still plenty of material to draw from considering that the netflix series drew from the Purple Man story more than anything else. There's another 20 or so issues of stuff that could be drawn from and also the Pulse series could be used partially too. Also, the idea of completely original content shouldn't be ignored. It's not like every episode of Agents of Shield is taken from a comic book. It got favorable reviews. People loved it. It will return.

 

What material will they be using though ?

They didn't even have enough for one "season". And the character was wearing pretty thin even by the end of it. I think Marvel/Netflix is smart enough to know what shows and characters really did work and translate well (Daredevil), and which ones were noble experiments that didn't quite pan out (Jessica Jones).

Quite simply , this show has drafted off the success and (actual) popularity and acclaim of daredvil and traded on the good "Marvel Brand". There is much, much dissension with how "good" this show really was, and that is reflected in how it is already fading into oblivion (along with the book). That's not a knock against the book. But the show itself was a poor adaptation of what was already an obscure no-name character. If anything it proves that you can only scrape so far down in the barrel before you're just getting rust under your fingernails. If there was any chance of a second season , it would have been announced by now, just as marvel announced Daredevil season 2 a week or so after season 1 dropped. There is simply no reason for marvel to force out another season of this thin material about this genuinely unlikeable character and her annoying, enabling friends. As it is the prospect of her possibly showing up in other shows that I might be interested in is making me personally a little nervous, and even a tad turned off as to what may happen with those shows if marvel should feel the need to have her gratuitously popping up all over the place.

The writing was atrocious, the fight scenes were poorly choreographed and boring, the depiction of Luke Cage and their alleged "chemistry" was embarassing , character motivations were weak and random as was the depiction of her powers, the subplots about her friends were extraneous and unnecessary filler, too many repititious sequences involving kilgrave, and overall the show was about 9 episodes too long (4 would have been enough, those who are saying 8 would have been better are still being too generous).

We watched 2 different TV shows.

 

JJ is a seriously screwed up individual in print as well as on the screen. I loved how Cage was portrayed but I must admit, I've been a fan of his since the '70s. I like that he was more low key as '70s Power Man would have been cheesy. The "friends" characters are being built for the long term. Purple Man was considerably more powerful and effective in the show than in the book. If you were looking for spandex, this isn't going to be your show. She's a tortured soul and the show put that out. As for special effects, Marvel leaves a lot to be desired in general.
