After teasing us with teasers and sneak peaks Netflix finally came up with the good stuff. A full two minute trailer for Jessica Jones. Sorry, MARVEL'S Jessica Jones.
I really hate it when they do that. We get it you're Marvel.
Looks rad, one interesting thing of note. Jessica Jones is essentially a former superhero that quits the cape and tights biz to be a private investigator. If I remember correctly, the very first story arc of the comic book Alias (which this is based off of) has Jessica Jones getting involved in a conspiracy against Captain America. Given that she's a former superhero she has a lot of interaction with other Marvel heroes like Cap, Daredevil, Spider-Woman, etc.
It isn't until something like the 20th issue of the series (and the very last story arc) that we learn about why she quit being a superhero and what her beef with The Purple Man (played here by David Tennet) is all about. So what I find so interesting about the trailer is that it looks like this first season is going straight to the Purple Man. Also it kinda looks like they're skipping the whole "she knows a lot of superheroes" thing. At least that's what I gather by her interactions with Luke Cage at the bar. That's supposed to be Luke Cage, right?
I'm actually ok with all the changes, I'm not one of those nerds that gets caught up in the details. Find the heart of the character and make the story work for TV, that's what they did with Daredevil. Hopefully that's what they've done here too.
