Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Those things are more or less synonyms.
(Also it's Wack'd.)
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Ah, yeah, no. Kilgrave strikes me as more of a Redditor.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.If we're going off that one incident of him calling Trish's show to threaten her, that's general internet troll behavior regardless of the political spectrum. There's nothing distinctly "SJW" about it.
In fact anonymously contacting a woman to threaten her over her opinions is kind of a hallmark of the internet, sadly.
Jessica Jones strikes me as distinctly pro-Tumblr, seeing as its a community of women and minorities banding together to try and validate the shit they've been through to a society that doesn't believe their oppression is a thing that actually exists.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.I mean, maybe I'm just being defensive because I'm a redditor and that apparently makes me the enemy, but it's not like that's only available on the secret internet only white dudes are allowed to use.
My various fanfics.I mean, I'm not saying being on Reddit inherently makes you a bad person. I'm using it to mean r/MRA the same way folks use 4chan to mean b/ and Tumblr to mean SJW. That was probably wrong of me, and I'm sorry.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Everywhere has self-righteous assholes.
What they're self-righteous about varies by website, but at the end of the day, everyone is only varying degrees of dickhead. The internet just magnifies it.
We've got a trope for this, people.

Yeah, I don't think Kilgrave was necessarily meant to embody any singular group as much as being a good old fashioned all-around, elitist and entitled asshole who thinks he's inherently superior to everyone else. Throughout a lot of the plot, he struck me as an even more narcissistic and sociopathic Gaston, who is an example of the same character - a person who believes at his core that since he gets everything he wants, the people around him only matter insofar as they can give him what he wants.
There are a lot of groups and ideologies today that suffer from that mindset, and Kilgrave can call to mind or be applied to any or really all of them depending on your outlook (for instance, I read a lot of classist subtext in his demeanor).

He may not supposed to embody any particular group but his status as a white male contrasted with the rest of the cast makes it super-easy for him to do that anyway.

Pretty much. Though the Unfortunate Implications hopefully wont get too many people heated.

Sounds very similar to a certain group or two. >_>

Yeah, the show is amazingly, quietly, about white male entitlement, which is wonderful.
