I'm digging these promos.
So what comics are worth reading? Alias? Anything else?

After Alias ended, it was quasi-continued with a new monthly called The Pulse, a non-mature readers book that mated Jessica's PI work with the goings-on at the Daily Bugle, who was retaining her as an investigator at the time.
Jessica is also the main supporting character in the first Young Avengers series. The first issue is essentially told from her point of view. She is in the first and last scenes of the story and is in every issue except 9, 10 and 11.
I wonder if they'll ever release a real trailer, and not stupid teasers that tell us nothing, and honestly aren't even particularly interesting to look at. As someone who is already pretty sure they've completely screwed up the character, they certainly aren't giving me any reason to believe they have any idea what they're doing. I'm pretty sure even Daredevil gave us more before it came out.
The show premieres in six weeks. I imagine there will be a trailer by the end of October. I mean, reading this thread, it's fairly obvious you've already made your mind up about this show, so why do you care? I don't get it.
A combination of trolling and wanting to be convinced otherwise.
Netflix waits until very close to the premiere before they release a real trailer. I think they released the Longmire Season 4 trailer a week before the premiere and I think Daredevil's was somewhere around there too.
Well I've never trolled, so that's not it. Disagreeing with the majority does not equal "trolling". You had it with the second part, though. I want to be convinced that I'm wrong. I'm not happy that I think it looks like they completely screwed up Jessica Jones, and I want to be proven wrong, or at least see a real trailer that makes me hope I could be wrong. So far we saw a pointless purple CG thing, and two mini "trailers" that were probably not even filmed with the actual actress, and even if they were short and really don't tell you anything about the show or character. I want to see some footage from the show, with Jessica Jones actually on screen and interacting with someone. I doubt they'll change my mind, but I really want them to.
Well, that's unfortunate, and ridiculous. Normal TV shows would probably have had at least one or even two full trailers by now. Even supergirl has had I think two real trailers farther away from its debut than Jessica Jones is right now.
Not really. They will almost certainly be releasing a trailer before the show premiere's and that's really all that matters.
As for the trailer's we have gotten, I think they've done a pretty good job of giving us a feel for how they're approaching the character's attitude.

I'm more interested in seeing how the actress is attempting to approach the characters attitude then how the writers/producers/director is. Also, I want to see some clips (even just short ones) of Luke Cage and Purple Man, the two characters that are the only reason I'm still planning to watch the show.
Damn!
I just noticed while looking at wikipedia that the Jessica Jones showrunner/executive producer is best known for writing the screenplays for 4 twilight movies, writing and producing a few episodes of the mediocre Birds of Prey show, and she also wrote two particularly atrocious episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Ok, yeah, the show is completely screwed 
Well, she worked as a consulting producer on one episode of Boston Public and wrote one episode of Ally McBeal according to IMDB, so they're barely relevant to her career. That said, all three of those shows are things that hopefully marvel will not be copying anyway, and definitely don't make her resume seem better when it comes to adapting comics.
Stephanie Myers is a sap that writes sappy books for saps.
A massive audience of literate saps wanted a movie just like their books, and a huger audience 9000 times that mass of saps, or more, of illiterate saps were pleasantly surprised to find that a sappy movie had finally been made just for them.
How saptastic for them to finally be acknowledged.
Being able to write (prostitute yourself) in whatever voice the person paying your wages tells you to, is how most writers in the industry make money.
It takes a while, unless you are super lucky, before you can earn enough to eat when writing with your own voice.
This is a Bendis character, on Marvel TV for the Netflix audience.
Can you really define "better" (than Twilight)?
Jessica Jones will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER make the money Twilight did.

And yet you keep stating an obviously unpopular opinion as fact. This is a common trolling technique.

Well, she was also adapting Twilight, so most of the issues you might have with the series would lie in Stephanie Mayer's shoulders more than Melissa Rosenberg's. It's also worth noting that most of the Twilight fans seemed to be happy with the movies, so she's obviously good at adapting stuff, which is she's going to be doing.
I'm not ready to write off the show just because she did one thing I'm not supposed to like.
And just out of curiosity, have you actually watched the Twilight movies? If you didn't like them do you know that it was Rosenberg's writing that was the problem, and not Mayer's books?
I'm going to go and admit something here, but I watched the first Twilight movie, and I actually enjoyed it.
