Re: Jessica Jones!

[(Anonymous)]

Not only do Bendis' run on DD and Alias overlap, but they actually complement one another. Alias fills in the other side of certain scenes in DD.

For example, when Luke and Jess are guarding his door, you see a woman come in to talk to Matt, then she leaves and her hair is a different colour and you realize it's Natasha. The DD series actually shows you Luke and Jess guarding Matt but then you see what Matt and Nat talked about. So if you re-read them both together, they're two sides of the same coin in a lot of ways.

Also, I took Jess' fixation on Matt to be related to the fact that Daredevil was the one who finally got the Purple Man arrested and took him down. She's not attracted to him until she suspects he might be Daredevil, and then she starts to admire him but also becomes obsessed with confirming that they are the same person. It made sense to me, because even though she was no longer under Killgrave's control when he fought Matt, it does make Matt kind of her hero because he did what she wasn't able to do and she probably wants to know how he does it or has him on a pedestal. And then, once she takes Killgrave out herself, it paves the way for her to get over Matt and be with Luke. That was my take anyway.
