Jessica Jones gets closer to Luke Cage, and thinks that she knows a way to nullify Kilgrave’s abilities, so she tries to enlist the aid of various people in her life. Which, it goes without saying, doesn’t quite go as planned. This episode is also the first time we hear Cage say “Sweet Christmas,” and […]
After unwittingly helping to orchestrate a tragedy, Jessica Jones tries to find out why Kilgrave is back.
Welcome, True Believers to the commentary on the first episode of Marvel’s Jessica Jones. The first thing I noticed was that Jessica Jones is a co-production between Marvel Television and Netflix, which I don’t recall during Daredevil’s credits. The second is the music, by Sean Callery, gives the series a very noir feel and is vaguely reminiscent […]
This episode we meet Stick (Scott Glenn) in flashback–he’s the man who taught Matt Murdock/Daredevil his formidable fighting skills–and in the modern day. He’s in New York to attempt to enlist Matt’s aid in stopping Nobu (Peter Shinkoda), the right hand of Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) from bringing a mysterious shipment, known only as Black Sky, into […]
A few hours ago I wrote a piece for MoviePilot about Spider-Man’s return to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and overall I am pretty happy about the way things have turned out. Technically speaking, it’s not quite Spider-Man returning to where he belongs, but under the circumstances it’s probably as good as it’s going to get. That being […]
When Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television, said that Marvel’s Daredevil would be a more street level interpretation of the character, he wasn’t kidding. The trailer looks gritty and nothing at all like Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Marvel’s Agent Carter. I think that it’s neat that so far every Marvel series each has its […]
Seriously, why does Marvel Studios even bother with trailers, especially for a property like The Avengers? They already have my money, and I am sure the same applies for millions of other people. Just don’t give away any more of the movie (which the new trailers don’t seem to be doing) because I am still smarting over […]
James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy was without a doubt one of the best movies of 2014. Marvel Studios’ motley group of space heroes was certainly a surprise, though like any other movie there were things that could have been improved. For me, the first would have been some sort of explanation about how StarLord’s mask […]
Oh. My. God. Can this movie look any more awesome? At this point, no movie matters more and it has somehow managed to move from mere celluloid, to an event. If this movie doesn’t earn at least $500 million its first weekend, it won’t earn a penny.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Daredevil (the first entry of Netflix’s launch of Marvel superheroes, soon to be followed by A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, culminating in The Defenders) will premiere April 10. And as typically the case with series that appear on Netflix, the entire first season will probably air in its entirety. And […]
