What do you think needs to be included in a revised Jessica Jones series?
With rumours that a “Born Again-type” Jessica Jones series is in development at Marvel Studios, what are some things that you think is an absolute must that needs to be included in this show!
Whether it’s anything from the original series, anything that you felt was lacking from the Netflix iteration, or something that would improve the quality!
For me personally, I really want to see Jessica be more connected in the MCU where her cases tie into things that have happened in different projects but she’s in the shadows of it all! Especially where we’ll get to see a lot more unique interactions of familiar characters we recognize from other properties!
Plus, I hope that they’ll bring back Trish and Malcolm since they are to her character what Foggy and Karen were to Matt Murdock/Daredevil! They’re just a more dysfunctional unit in comparison, but are still an important part of her character

And her jacket
Jessica Jones is a private investigator. The very concept gives you everything you need to have great mystery of the week episodes that showcase her private eye side with some superheroics. And some of the cases can come from low level heroes or even villains or be about them. The main season story arc can play in the background with just a little capper or whatever. You don't want to make it totally formulaic like NCIS or law and order or something; You can give great single episodes with a beginning middle and end where you get a case and you wrap it up. Building character and establishing the world. Not everything has to be about plot at all costs.
As in, if it doesn’t have to do with her she’s unlikely to just jump in.
Well, she didn’t actually put it on.
Season one was hard carried by David Tennant. Without him, her general morose brings down the show with nothing else to pick it up.
I'm not saying SHE needs to be happier or upbeat, but I think we need better supporting characters who can balance the mood a bit.
2/10 F, come see me after class
Here's another idea, maybe you'll prefer instead. >!Jessica's dad also wasn't killed in the car crash. He'd been body-snatched some time earlier by a Skrull who was working in concert with the X-Men in an attempt to overthrow the Essex Corporation's experiments. He'd also had his memory wiped, as part of Project Tahiti, which is why he never came looking for Jess. Although he still isn't around, the plot details have been revealed to Jessica while investigating another unconnected case. She doesn't believe it anyway, but casually mentions it to Misty Knight and Colleen Wing during a girls' night out, just before a massive fight against ninjas. !<
Have a little think about why projects and scripts are always developed over such a lengthy period and will go through multiple rewrites. None of your favourite shows were ever released to theatres having been shot with solely the initial unamended idea.
Someone else mentioned other New York based heroes showing up, I’m all for that too. Have a guest appearance in every episode as a new case. Sony control a bunch of the Spider-Man characters, Universal hold a bunch of the Hulk ones still, in before someone says they sold the rights back, they didn’t, they sold the rights back for The Incredible Hulk 2008 only, which is why it’s now freely on D+.
But there’s plenty other characters from New York that Jessica Jones can work cases for.
Different kind of deal than Universal.
Edit: And yes, I hated all those World War Hulk rumors too. Everyone was so sure that the Universal deal was ending and there has been absolutely no reliable proof of it.
Those people were freaking driving me crazy
It’s why Marvel have changed Hulk from Rage Hulk to Smoldering Ragnarok Hulk who jokes and has friends, to Smart Hulk, who is really neither Banner nor Hulk. It’s why Betty Ross was disappeared in favor of putting Banner together with Natasha Romanov, it’s why Red Hulk is never referred to as a Hulk in BNW, they say he “hulked out” but that’s not a confirmation that he’s a Hulk, it’s why The Leader was changed from his original look in the movie which was fairly comic accurate, to the chewed bubblegum head guy we got after the BNW reshoots.
If you look back at Marvel’s use of those Hulk related characters over the years, it’s always bit parts, and where possible, they’ll change the character somehow to make it a unique version. If you look back with the lens of them trying to avoid triggering Universal’s distribution clause, you can see clearly they’ve been dodging around it then entire time. It’s pretty amazing how much they’ve managed to make these characters feel like a large part of the MCU without triggering the Universal clause to be honest.
Universal are likely still salty about being kicked off as a distributor for Marvel when Marvel created their own distribution company, so they aren’t ever going to sell those rights back unless their company is on the absolute skids, and it’s not any time soon. Likewise, Marvel have no interest in paying Universal a ton of money to basically make some phone calls. So the stalemate endures.
Bring back Trish as doing Community Service or whatever and have their relationship slowly get back together
It might just be Tennant though, so I dont know how much its replicable.
A good villain.
Unlike Daredevil I really don't care much about her supporting cast. Carrie Anne Moss' character was pretty good, I'd say. It'd be fun to see her again.
People saying that they’ve done that obviously don’t know the character very well. And as much as Daredevil continued and makes sense to do so… what are people’s take on the character?!? How many people watched the original show?
Or defenders or read pulse or alias?
Keep the OG cast and don’t lose the stylish edge the show had.
They tried to play with the formula of daredevil and it blew up in their face and they had to reshoot and Punisher hated it burning bridges…fortunately they were able to make up with it by putting him in his own special and spiderman but … who knows when we’ll see him after this year!
Anyway keep the tone. Mix up the flow with wider MCU characters but that’s it don’t push it beyond her vibe and the things that brought her to the dance. Luke cage and iron fist should all be family after defenders..but they’re more outta necessity like the avengers than xmen always together!
In the first season when she escaped by doing that, but they didn't show her in the air. I thought was a great way to hint at that power.
