Marvel's Jessica Jones

Generally speaking, the MCU has been way too eager about killing off dece villains. Unless my far-fetched theory that Thanos + Death/Hela are going to resurrect them at some point pans out, IDGI.

I watched more than I expected to last night and they seem to, once again, have it set up so that the main arc ends several episodes before the end so there’s a couple hours of lingering subplot. I’m not sure why they keep doing this.

Inhumans and Runaways (why because I'm cheap) are still the only MCU things I haven't watched.

jesus i'd forgotten runaways ever happened

Don't forget, there's an impending Cloak & Dagger series for you to soon forget the existence of.

Do u Scots even get Freeform? How did you watch Secret Life of the American Teenager?

i assume freeform is some kind of american feminine hygiene product, not sure what the relevance is to this conversation tbh

we have to torrent tslotat obv

Seems like a hassle but at least you got to experience the defining cultural product of a generation.

Freeform's expansion into television has been surprisingly successful. I just wish they'd scale back the product placement at least to the point where it made sense (hint: teenage boys do not generally carry around prominently-displayed boxes of pantyliners for even their best lady friends).

i am given to understand freeform's tampon-cannon is very popular at live events such as state fairs, taffy pulls and barn-raisings

You just used three names to describe the same event, you Ameri-dummy (see also: jelly offs, hog rassles).

Re-railing the train: I both identified Whizzer and predicted the alternate employment of his nickname immediately after he mentioned super speed and I noticed the color of his hoodie. Fastest nerd on the couch, that's me.

look i'm doing my best to understand the backward social customs of yr heathen colonial culture, cut me some slack here

well this wasn't very good. lowlight was probably the lesbian whorgy where jeri takes superpoppers.

yeah i’m only half invested in this

6 episodes in, bored and irritated but somehow i'll hatewatch the whole thing which is more than i can say for defenders

the first 6 are the worst, on the bright side.

^^^ summing up the marvel TVverse in one sentence

Second season features the most nightmarish tv proposal ever

finally got around to finishing season two with all the enthusiasm of someone clearing a beehive from their shed six months after it appeared

this season was very, very bad, folks

It was nowhere near as good as the first, I can agree.

Whoever proposed on one of these threads that the Netflix seasons should be cut down to maybe like 6-8 episodes was suuuuuuuper OTM. I mean...why thirteen? They've demonstrated with every outing that they don't have enough material for a solid thirteen-episode season. Every outing winds up feeling threadbare and wheel-spinny at some point. Just tighten it up, folks. Trim the fat.

As I do with most of the world's problems, I blame Loeb.

yeah, it just drrrrraaaaaagged on for so long with so little material

krysten ritter def seemed to have less to work with this season too - any progress jessica seemed to have made as a person in s1 was right out the window

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:
