The Crazed Spruce November 21, 2014 Share November 21, 2014 Word is, five women are currently testing for the role of Jessica Jones. According to reports, it's down to Krista Ritter (the "B" from "Don't Trust the B___ in Apt. 23"), Jessica DeGouw (who played The Huntress on "Arrow"), Alexandra Daddario (from "True Detective"), Theresa Palmer (from the movie "Warm Bodies"), and Cleo Anthony (from "Divergent") are all up for the role. According to the article, they're also casting Luke Cage, who'll appear in about half a dozen episodes of Jessica Jones before his own Netflix series starts. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18388-the-pulse-jessica-jones-in-the-media/#findComment-588773
Actionmage November 28, 2014 Share November 28, 2014 Oh, now I'm pulling for Kristen Ritter! Loved her in Don't Trust The B* and I think she'd have the right feel for the character. Plus, I'd prefer Ms. DeGouw to reprise her Huntress over on Arrow, but I know that's being greedy.

The Crazed Spruce November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 I'm really only familiar with Ritter and DeGouw, but I think either one can do a great job. (I pretty much only know Kristen Ritter from Don't Trust the B****, though, so I'd love to see her tackle a dramatic role.)

FurryFury January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 I love both Ritter and Tennant, and any genre show with a female lead is a must-watch for me, but I've read some comments about this Purple Man and now I have doubts if I should give it a try. Apparently, this villain is a serial rapist with superpowers which let him control people, and he has a past with the heroine. What, exactly, has happened in the comics, and how do you expect the show to adapt this storyline? I'm not sure if I can handle rape and torture of the lead character, it triggers the hell out of me. Secondary characters, I can deal with (although not easily), but lead, it may be just too much.

The Crazed Spruce January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 In the comics, the Purple Man's deal is that he gives off powerful pheromones that can override a person's free will, and can force them to perform any depraved act he can imagine. He didn't do anything physical to Jessica, but he forced her to stand by his side for months with a plastic smile on her face while he did it to others. While what he did to her was a shadow over Jessica's first series, he didn't show up in person until the final arc, giving her a chance to confront him, and put him behind her once and for all. I can easily see them doing the same thing in the show. I'm not a fan of using rape, either physical or psychological, to give female characters an "edgy" backstory , but I thought the comic did it well, and I hope the show does the same. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18388-the-pulse-jessica-jones-in-the-media/#findComment-760983

Dandesun January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 I wonder how they're going to deal with it, though. In the books Jean Grey of the X-Men was the one that helped Jessica a) get over what he had done and b) established specific blocks in her mind that would help Jessica fight Purple Man if he showed up and used her power on her again. What's more, when he used his power on her to attack Daredevil and the Avengers, Carol Danvers was the only one who knew Jessica and pulled her out of the fight in order to get her away from the Avengers and to the help she needed. Those were really good issues... if I recall, we saw that story in flashback as she told Luke Cage about it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18388-the-pulse-jessica-jones-in-the-media/#findComment-771299

Fukui San May 31, 2015 Share May 31, 2015 I guess they're going to have Purple Man be a factor in the series from the start? In the comics she was a "damaged goods" character for unspoken reasons for the equivalent of a TV season and a half working cases before they did the Purple Man arc at the end of the series, so that's some reshuffling. Also, I would guess they're going to jettison the whole "Purple Man breaks the fourth wall and talks to the reader/audience directly" bit, as I'm not sure it's sustainable for TV.

starri June 8, 2015 Share June 8, 2015 Since they approached Daredevil more like a crime drama than a superhero show, I'm kind of hoping this might turn out to be Veronica Mars with Actual Superpowers. That may be an association I'm making just because of Krysten Ritter. As weird as this is to say, that poster makes me a little more enthusiastic toward Ritter's casting. I'm apparently the one person in America who's never really watched Breaking Bad, so I only really know Ritter from VM and Gilmore Girls, and just based on that she doesn't really have the damaged-but-tough vibe that I think Jessica needs. But they're certainly presenting her like she is, and that helps. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18388-the-pulse-jessica-jones-in-the-media/#findComment-1223400

I hated the AKA. It just sounded stupid as a show title. Just calling it Jessica Jones is fine, that's the lead characters name. My only issue with Krysten Ritter is she's too skinny for me to buy as a former Super Hero. Acting wise, she was brilliant on "Don't Trust the B". And based on her role in Breaking Bad she can play the damaged but tough character. I'll give her a chance, plus David Tennant was enough for me to check this show out.

And the latest teaser? Wha-aa-aat? Killgrave's creep factor was amped up exponentially in Alias and since my first experience with Tennant was as Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this is reverting to form in a sense. Seriously, when I saw he was the 10th Doctor, I gasped and went 'Barty Crouch.... JUNIOR!' So I have absolutely no doubt he can bring the creeps big time.
