Yes and no. She is still a dick, but I think she arrives at a point at the end of the season where she realizes this and tries to change.
And not only that but you find out some of the underpinnings of her shit attitude, both familial and otherwise. Personally I thought JJ 2 was unusual for a Marvel series in that it started really slow, picked up and got pretty damn good in the middle, then had some silliness toward the end that really hurt it. But overall I liked it. And watching it with my wife she helped me notice some things I wouldn't have tuned into related specifically to the female experience. She really enjoyed it, and she hadn't seen season 1 (after I warned her off; she doesn't do well with graphic violence, and some of the Kilgrave stuff definitely danced on the edge of torture porn).
OK, finished Jessica Jones season 2. It wasn't bad. It wasn't as good as JJ season 1, but different in tone. JJ season1 was a long horror show, with a seemingly unsurmountable bad guy (David Tennant's Kilgrave, who could make awful things happen with a few words). JJ season 2 was a much more internal study of ********ed up people doing ********ed up things because they were ********ed up and there wasn't a good solution for any of them. All of the main characters - Jessica Jones, Trish Walker, Malcolm, Jessica's mom, Jeri Hogarth, creepy doctor guy, Trish's mom - were ********ed up in one way or another. The bad guys they were fighting were inside them more than external. I liked the inclusion of Pryce Cheng - the same actor was in The Expanse, a very different kind of character but fun to see him again. But it wasn't that bad. I think, more watchable than season 1 - I had a hard time with the horror of season 1. Probably lesser, storywise, than season 1, but easier for me to watch. The occasional guest stars / cameos from previous shows were nice. Foggy Nelson, Turk Barrett, Thembi Wallace (TV host), etc. made it feel like part of a larger whole. Overall the Netflix shows feel kind of ignored by the movies - the shows refer to the movies occasionally but the movies pretty much blow off the shows - so it's nice to get a little continuity with the other shows. Overall Marvel Netflix series: Punisher and Daredevil season 1, followed by Luke Cage (hurt by the second half), JJ seasons 2 and 1, Daredevil season 2 (hurt by pacing issues), Defenders (hurt by the inclusion of Iron Fist) and Iron Fist.
Looks like a lot of fun. I really liked the first one. It was a lot better than it had any business being, considering its troubled production history.
It's one of my favorite Marvel movies. It is probably the only one that got the humor right where it wasn't so clunky.
I liked seeing Lawrence Fishburne as Bill Foster at the end of the trailer. I'm wondering if the Captain Marvel movie - supposedly set a decade or two prior to the other movies - will feature Hank Pym, Janet van Dyne, etc. as they may have been active at that time. I don't know if Michael Douglas can be digitally edited into a younger form (probably), but maybe he'll be in a cameo as the active Ant-Man.
So the wife and I just started Jessica Jones season 2 and we’re 4 episodes in. I am so bored, does it get any better? I just wish it would end.
Do you think there will ever be a Hulk stand-alone movie or will he continue to be a sidekick in other heroes' movies? I think what hurt the Hulk movies was that the actor they signed demanded to get his face seen on the screen for the majority of the movie which made it actually a Bruce-Banner-movie, not a Hulk-movie. People want to see the Hulk not Bruce Banner, but as long as the actor is quite high-profile it will always be much more about Bruce Banner, but that just does not draw huge crowds I guess. In the comics it was the other way round. It was the Hulk ca. 80% and only 20% Bruce Banner. In order to revive the Hulk movie they should hire a big-name actor to play the opponent of the Hulk and increase the screen time the Hulk has considerably. Also, the Hulk does not always have to be on a rampage when he's on screen. They should keep to the comics in this respect, too, because in the comics the Hulk is able to communicate and he's not always crashing things and going bezerk. That would get tiresome in a movie of course. So, Marvel should revitalise the Hulk by sticking more to the comics.
Not just action oriented, I mean better. It moves along so slowly, it's boring. Jessica's entire shtick has already made me wish I never started season 2. The character hasn't grown at all, she's the same boring, stupid decision making Jessica. She learns nothing.
I mostly like the show and the character but I also understand why people might strongly dislike it. It's definitely the odd one out among the Marvel Netflix shows, to say the least. But I find it well-acted and I like Krysten Ritter's interpretation of the character. That is of course very subjective.
There is, and it is considered canon in a sense because RDJ/Tony Stark appears in the post-credit scene. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800080/ I couldn't make it through the first episode.
It has nothing to do with the actor. It's all about the studios. I think it's Universal that has some control of the Hulk as a standalone. That's why the character is not in solo movies.
The first one was a hell of a lot of fun. And I have a feeling this one is going to have some impact on the Infinity War endgame, it's the best reason I can think of that they decided to have it come out after even though it takes place before.
