Here's How CAPTAIN MARVEL Was Going To Factor Into JESSICA JONES

Back when Jessica Jones was A.K.A. Jessica Jones and looked set to debut on ABC, the series - which is now streaming on Netflix - was quite a bit different. Hit the jump for details on the role Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel would have played in the show...

In the Alias comic book series, Carol Danvers was the best friend of Jessica Jones. However, with that character now set to receive her own movie as part of Phase 3, it wasn't feasible for her to show up in Netflix's Jessica Jones, but what role would she have played had that been the case? As it turns out, pretty much exactly the same as her comic book counterpart! "Back when it was at ABC Network, I did use Carol Danvers," Melissa Rosenberg explains. "But between then and when it ended up on Netflix, you know, the MCU shifted, and it also shifted away from the universe in the [comic] book. So in the book, the powers are very out in the open and the themes of that are about ‘the other,’ and in the cinematic universe that’s not the mythology. So there was a lot that I had to move away from, just in terms of sheer plot, and Carol Danvers got her own movie."
 
However, the departure of Captain Marvel from the series meant that Trish Walker (better known as Patsy Walker/Hellcat in the comic books) could step up and take over the role of best friend, albeit in a ver different way. "But as it turned out, Patsy Walker ended up being an incredibly—a much more appropriate fit with Jessica. It was better that her best friend was not someone with powers. It actually ends up being a really great mirror for her." It would have been pretty cool to see a fully costumed Ms. Marvel - as she was known when A.K.A. Jessica Jones was being developed - in the series, but Trish is great, so it's not the end of the world. What do you guys thinks?

@Castiglione

I'm not really impressed right now, and I'm not feeling Ritter as JJ, they really could have been so much more creative with these scenes

I'm on episode 2, and I don't think the directors or writers have any knowledge of how hospitals really work, or what a stroke is, or a kidney donor.... and that would be fine, but their trying to set this in a "realistic" tone

Hopefully it gets better

Yeah, I know man, but it's not surprising that Netflix is darker and more hardcore than the big screen MCU

I don't know why you feel the need to defend the MCU right now, or why the lack of seriousness, or the all ages approach to the movies in the big screen MCU is immediately seen as a negative.

But, it's common knowledge that Daredevil was darker and more "hardcore" than the big screen MCU, which implies that Jessica Jones would be darker than the big screen MCU as well. Also, given the nature of "Alias" and the nature of characters like Jessica Jones and Daredevil, I'm not surprised that Netflix has a darker tone, I'm actually relieved

And, I'm happy about the darker tone because it will finally give us a more accurate Punisher in Daredevil Season 2.

With that said, I'm not loving Jessica Jones right now. They could have been a lot more creative, I am only on episode 2 though, and it is my opinion

@JoJo1982

Ok, it's not the "big screen" MCU, it's the "Marvel Netflix" MCU

Haha, I'll make sure that I spell everything out more clearly next time

Of course it's "all connected", again, common knowledge, but I'm not surprised at the difference in tone, that's the purpose of the Netflix shows, imo, their almost like the Max line of comic

Don't forget the graphic stuff in AoS! Coulson's brain being worked on, the pure craziness of that whole scene, Ward torturing Bobbi, etc..

I'm not sure what you mean by wanting the show to be more creative (especially considering you've only finished the pilot), but I will say give it time. I had similar feelings in not being as satisfied with the first ep, but trust me... it just amazing.

And yeah, Colter is [frick]ing killing it. I always thought he looked too soft in the promo images. He has it absolutely nailed down.
