simple and effective
So, above you’ll find the latest teaser for Marvel’s Jessica Jones, the second of the “street level” MCU series on Netflix (coming in November). I was looking forward to this one anyway, because I really enjoyed the comic series Alias upon which this show will be based (plus, you know, I’ll watch anything related to Marvel comics, but…)
Mostly, though, I’m seriously impressed with this 48 seconds or so of video, for managing to completely capture the essence and tone of the character without even showing her face. It is, as a Pokemon referencing person might say, super effective.
The mess, the empty bottles, the tools of the detective trade, the alarm set for 3:00 in the afternoon, and the subtle (?) use of super-strength. This is Jessica Jones, former D-list superhero, current hard-boiled private detective dealing with the effects of post-traumatic stress through snark and self-medication.
Give this to me now.
