    I'm a bit confused at the hype surrounding Jessica Jones. I have little knowledge of what her powers are, so I wiki'd the heroine.

    > Superhuman strength
    > Limited invulnerability
    > (Limited?) Flight

    Besides there being a dearth of female superheroes in TV and movies these days, what makes Jessica Jones stand out from all the other superheroes?

    The big deal is that she is like Daredevil in they deal with low level street crime
    They are not world beaters and they are more gritty

    Sort of the Blue Collar Heros

    Rather than trying to show all the world beaters and incredible unbelievable people
    they are show casing those that are only slighting unbeleivable :D

    She has flaws and is dealing with PTSD. She handles problems that normal people face (e.g. finances, family, being weak enough that other superheroes or super villains can beat the crap out of her).

    I'm sorry, but, for me, the first part of your post (pre-ellipsis) kinda negates the second part. ;)

    Looking forward to David Tennant as The Purple Man. They are also being sly about sneeking Hellcat into the cast, listed only as "Trish 'Patsy' Walker".

    Netflix is doing Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Hellcat, Iron Fist etc in order to build to a Defenders series - sort of what they are doing in film writ small for TV.

    I'm looking forward to Jessica Jones as much as anything on TV.

    They just seem to be moving so damn slow. They need to start pumping these shows out quicker.

    Or maybe I'm too impatient and need a hobby. One of the two.

    Excited for this. I think Tennant will steal the show as the villain (he does creepy a bit too well). There needs to be more great villains in the MCU like Loki and Winter Soldier (I thought Kingpin was memorable as well) for it to sustain peoples' interest.

    I wish they'd be quicker also, but I'd rather good than fast.

    Google "skinny white girl", I think pretty much any picture you find will be equivalent. She's very cute, but not much for T&A.
