Jessica Jones - The darkest part of the MCU

I just finished the second season. Although I didn't like it as much as the first season (tho that's partly because of the lack of Killgrave), but it still was great.

What really makes this show stand out, even amongst the other Defenders-Shows, is how dark, depressing, pessimistic and mature it is.

Yes, Daredevil is dark too, but in a very different way than JJ.

JJ's handling of themes like mental health problems, depression, addiction, grief and loss is outstanding and hit home close. You can feel and relate the pain and struggles Jessica is going through. She has never really dealt or coped with the loss of her family or the trauma she got from Killgrave. She went through a life full of loss and abuse and never recovered from that.

Watching this show really is depressing as hell and in many ways very relatable for me as someone who has gone through or encountered similar struggles.

So I just finished Jessica Jones

I'm a little bit upset that Trish is going to the raft, granted she did some bad things, but what bothers me is that we didn't get a continuation of this. Also, wtf is up with Hogarth, she was all over the place this season. Complete villain turn and all. submitted by /u/pkjoan [link] [comments]

Bitter thoughts after Loki ending

Alright so I just finished Loki and I just…ugh idk. Yall im so sad I get that he gets his throne and he helps everyone. But I just wanted him to have friends and be happy. I know it’s unrealistic but I just wanted him to have friends and be happy. I think it sucks that he wont get that maybe that’s just me because sometimes I feel like Loki in the aspect of being looked down on. I just wanted him to be there with his friends what do you guys think? submitted by /u/Candid_Wafer1587 [link] [comments]

The first 2 avengers movies feel pretty different compared to a lot of the mcu

I was rewatching avengers 2012 and realized how different it feels to the rest of the mcu. It feels more comic booky and a little campy somehow? That's kind of what I really like about it though and really just find it interesting. Avengers age of ultron also has this more comic booky vibe to it. Any thoughts on this? Still some of the best and most iconic though. submitted by /u/TheIMaster64 [link] [comments]
