Jessica Jones-- Marvel/Netflix
- Thread starter Turtletrekker

Then it failed there, too. 90% of it was flashy computer graphics. If it wasn't for the Marvel logo, the average viewer's reaction would be "eh?"
I'm struggling to think how new world methods translate into old world practices like subliminal media saturation.
How this teaser would succeed is if you see it 60 times over the course of a week, until you start to get pissed off by it, and aim to fight it.
I thought that the point of Netflix is that you don't accidentally see anything, like advertising, that you don't want to see?
Is this teaser the only thing on the Jessica Jones page, or are they randomly inflicting the teaser all over the Netflix website and flooding the rest of the internet with it as well?
Have your facebook friends been trying to bludgeon you with Jessica Jones?

Just because it's a longstanding practice doesn't make them interesting.
Yeah, it didn't intrigue me at all. Two seconds after it was over, I couldn't tell you what I just saw. And I was a fan of the original comic.
You're not ignorant of the product enough to respond to the tease.
It's interesting, it did seem more geared to people who already know the character. I never read it but I'm assuming "Alias Investigations" refers to the comics and that the show will be set at that point in the character's arc. The "Now it's time for the world to know her name" again seems targeted to those with previous knowledge.
In this day and age of internet word-of-mouth and such it's possible that this teaser is intended to fire up and reassure the faithful and keep them from poisoning the well for the general audience.
This was really little more than a fanciful way of announcing the premiere date.
That's the point. Marvel is one of the best known brands in the world right now--this is a show about the MCU. That is more than enough to spark interest. Well done, I think, and I am not really familiar with the character other than her appearances around the Civil War and Secret Invasion arcs (or in other comics around those years?)
Complaining that the first teaser promo doesn't reveal enough is like complaining that the first whiff of a cooking meal isn't filling enough. Patience is a virtue.
Could be.
Wow, she really doesn't look like Jessica Jones. I never really paid attention before. I just saw Krysten Ritter on an episode of The Blacklist, and I'd definitely not pick her to play a superhero (or former hero). She looks super angsty in every picture, and she was exactly the same on the episode of The Blacklist. But, that's not as big a deal as the fact that she had a very unimpressive performance on The Blacklist, too, and it wasn't the writings fault. I'll still watch Jessica Jones obviously, but this is some DC movie style casting.
Well, I guess Marvel was going to mess up the casting eventually, I'm surprised they've gotten so many of the main characters of the MCU cast so well so far. At least Luke Cage seems like he'll be good, and David Tennant is pretty great in everything i've seen him in. If nothing else, Luke Cage's show should benefit from him being at least a little established in Jessica Jones.

Charlie Cox doesn't look like Matt Murdock, but he did a great job portraying the character.
As for being super angsty, wasn't there a lot of angst in the Alias comics?

He looked like Matt Murdock to me
Jessica Jones wasn't really angsty in the comics. A lot of dark stuff happens, but the character herself (while admittedly prone to drinking and a bit of depression) never really screamed "angsty" to me. She was more the "Angry and short tempered" type than the "sit and brood" type. Regardless, she is easily the casting who looks least like the source character (for the main characters, not counting stuff like heimdall) but the actual problem, as I said, is that she's not a very good actress from what i've seen. She was kind of funny trying to play threatening on The Blacklist, but she wasn't supposed to be. She did well playing a meek data entry type person, I guess. But she is definitely not someone to play Jessica Jones.
Its not a huge deal. Marvel can't be perfect, and as long as Luke Cage still gets a show having Jessica Jones suck will be unfortunate, but not a huge disaster. I wish we got a good show with the character, she deserves it, but I'll settle for the show just being a long preview for Luke Cage. I'll watch for Cage and Tennant, and hopefully some clever Marvel easter eggs. As long as they don't make Jessica totally obnoxious, I'll consider it a win.
Krysten Ritter looks just fine and she'll do great.
I only watched a handful of episodes, but Kristin Ritter was good in Don't Trust The B____ in Apartment 23. I haven't watched it yet, but I also have the impression that a lot of people liked her on Breaking Bad. I'm not that concerned with whether or not the actors looks like the character in the comics if the performance is good, and at this point I'm pretty confident in Marvel's casting.
Hmm, so it looks like David Tennant doesn't have purple skin, or at least wears makeup to cover it. I could see a big dramatic reveal with him wiping off normal skin tone makeup to reveal his purple skin.
Other than that it's kind of hard to judge much from the pictures since the characters aren't really doing much of interest, and there aren't any real costumes or anything in play here.
