Re: Jessica Jones (spoilers!!!)

[(Anonymous)]

i did kind of want to put it down to the genre, but in saying that i'm not a fan of action-heavy media. i skip the fight scenes when i'm re-watching daredevil, they don't bother me i just don't care about/enjoy them. i think (unfortunately) it might just be a character thing?? also maybe a power/ability thing. personally, i find matt's abilities (and his character) much more complex + interesting (but i guess that's inherent, like, blinded + consequently gained super-senses vs super strength it's not a really a fair game in terms of complexity/interest) i think, even though i have no real reason to, i relate to matt + i also feel like there was more insight to matt, i kind of feel like i didn't get enough insight into jessica's life to get super invested, i think it might be that she internalises way way more than matt?? i can't even begin to work out why the supporting characters did like zero for me.

i don't know for sure if that's where it lost me but i'll for sure be giving it a second go.

Matt & co were so empathetic to the suffering of others and passionate about helping everyone else - to the detriment of themselves.

Jessica & co were... not passionate, but. Something? Determined. About helping themselves.

Like... idk, Jessica had the whole ptsd thing and history with Kilgrave but I never actually felt her rage. All these terrible things happened to her - the death of her family, getting raped and controlled by Kilgrave - and she's just so emotionally numb to all of it (which is realistic, but makes for boring TV and made ME numb to HER).
