A.K.A Jessica Jones tv series canned

**worstblogever** · 05-16-2012, 03:08 AM

I would have wondered if the pilot would have been true enough to the source material to be the first show in television history to have its protagonist sodomized in the first episode.

I don't know. Does this help or hurt the chances of seeing Ms Marvel in a Marvel movie? Or does it have no effect at all?

If it could only be one or the other, I'd want to see Carol on the big screen, where big-budget special effects can portray her as an ass-kicking female physical powerhouse, which is something we've never really seen in a Marvel film. And something we probably wouldn't see on the small screen, at least not nearly to the same extent.

Carol only appearing on the big screen may also mean that an actress with a much higher profile could be cast in the role. That's not necessarily a good thing, but it could have its advantages.

Never thought the concept would transalte well into TV. It's too dependent of the general MU. Jessica Jones doesn't have her own mythology. Legal issues would surely put a cramp on the use of other characters and intresting storylines, leaving us with a main character of, arguably, uncarismatic personality and generic super-powers, dealing with super-beings no one ever heard of. It probably wouldn't take off.
I always thought the idea of a super-hero cop show would be great, but I'd go with J'onn J'onzz. You'd have an investigation show with cool super-powers (shape-shifting, Martian vision, telepathy, plus the usual brick stuff), an alien perspective, and he could bring in his own mythology in the form of, mayby, a white Martians covert invasion. I think they'd have a lot to work with.

Peace

Yah!!!! This show would have only done bad things for Marvel's rep plus Bendis doesn't get TV money. Jessica Jones is the WORST character in the history of Marvel.

Totally agree. Now with all the interest in vampires and the supernatural, now might be the time that Blade could become a TV property.

Jessica IMO was a novelty that was retrofitted into the MU as a former Avenger that we never saw. It was her only saving grace. There's plenty of cop shows on TV and this show would need the superhero link to make it stand out.

Have you actually read it? I think it would appeal to a lot of people who are under the misconception that Marvel just equals dudes running around in spandex.

Not canned... but seemingly delayed. Or the for all intents and purposes, canned.

I've read it and still didn't think it was that great. The main character was unappealing to me. Then again I guess I can blame part of that on Gaydos's art. She looked like a frump and a loser. I also dislike characters that are a retrofit and she was this Avenger that we never saw before.

The end of that mini left me wanting more and more and more! Awesome creative team as well. It also left me feeling a bit sad, since we really don't know when the story will pick up again.

As for the TV show, I am a bit torn. I would love to see female characters at Marvel get more spotlight, but I have never enjoyed Jessica Jones from the Avengers issues I've read.

that was the point.

she wasn't ever an actual avenger, she just had friends amongst the team from he days as a d-lister

Still, there are a lot of other Marvel properties that are available. A Stana Katic as Jennifer Walters law/hulked out drama, pleeease?

That would be sweet, you know since Wonder Woman fell through they should get David E. Kelley to make it

**Nomads1** · 05-16-2012, 03:24 PM

Elza Bloodstone, Monster Hunter. That's one that I think would translate great to the small screen, or the big one.

Peace
