Just finished episode 11 of Jessica Jones, and it's still getting awesomer (don't care if that's a word).

Spoiler for spoilers:
I'm loving Trish's character more and more. She fits right into the darker tone of the show, but she still manages to maintain a certain bubbly optimism and enthusiasm that just makes her delightful. And every time she gets in a fight I find myself going, "Yes, yes, kick is ****ing ass. Be god damn Hellcat."

Her fight with Simpson was epic, and she totally gave me a superheroine boner. I don't know exactly what they have planned for her, but she's clearly not going to remain in Jessica's shadow forever. Whether or not they decide to give her her own show, I have no doubt she's only going to become more awesome... unless they kill her by the end of the series, at which point I will picket Marvel's main headquarters: Disney World.

I'm also curious if this means that Marvel and Netflix are actually planning out a Marvel TV "Phase 2", that will build on this new universe once The Defenders mini-series is over. If so, I'd say this is probably our best chance at She-Hulk: she's a lawyer, so she's got a connection to Daredevil and Jessica Jones, she hires PIs, so that's another connection to Jessica Jones AND Hellcat, and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to link her to Heroes for Hire. Though I don't exactly know how they would handle her appearance with a TV budget.

Even with movie money, they'd either have to just paint her green or use CGI, and both could very easily look hokey on a character who spends the majority of her time and dramatic moments while green. And I doubt a TV show would have the money to have a character CGI'd green for thirteen episodes. So either, they use body paint, or they keep Jen human for most of the series, and only have her Hulk out when necessary. I know they did that for her second solo series, but I wanna see her green as much as possible... for plot reasons... yeah...


And soon... Daredevil season 2. Life is good.
