Man. While this is definitely good news, particularly the Netflix part (meaning we'll get all the episodes instead of a pilot and "see how the ratings are" model), but at some point something they put out has to be awful, doesn't it? I know some of you aren't thrilled with Agents of SHIELD, but it is entertaining enough, and gaining steam I think. But they can't keep putting out stuff worth watching forever, can they? A terrible director, or an unlikable main actor, or just a terrible story has to pop up at some point.
Still, I'd rather they keep pushing forward and trying to make shows instead of just sitting back and letting their movies do all the storytelling. Maybe they are better at this than I realize.
I had no idea who Jessica Jones was, and would have vastly preferred Jessica Drew, but from reading her background it obviously makes sense that they'd go with Jones for this series of shows. I'd be particularly impressed if they could somehow work in the part where she's in the hospital as a girl and the Fantastic Four are fighting Galactus outside her window, but I'm guessing licensing probably wouldn't even allow Galactus to fight anyone Marvel owns.

Not a huge fan of the characters--rather I'm more excited at the steady death of the normal media industry thanks to producers now actually turning to internet release sources more. Hopefully in 30 years our grand kids will be asking what a "TV channel" is. Can't happen soon enough, the stranglehold on this industry has killed so many quality shows that should have gotten made, and turned countless others into shit thanks to some idiot who controls broadcasting being able affect the people with talent who actually make shows.

Excellent news indeed, that line-up makes up the majority of the list of Marvel characters that I like as well as DC. Please let the Jessica Jones series be at least inspired by Alias MAX, and have nothing whatsoever to do with the utter shit it became after moving off MAX and being renamed The Pulse.
Shes tied in with Luke Cage... its not random person they picked out of a hat.
It's obvious they are going for the Alias storyline with her.

Which is awesome, though so much will rest on who they cast for her. Too bad they won't be able to include her crush on Peter Parker, or this awesome scene with him.

I'm hoping Netflix got that out of their system with that vampire series or whatever...Hemlock Grove. That was some horrible TV right there...And after googling to remember its name I find out it has a second season coming.
Netflix is going balls to the wall, folks.
I'm sure they will go with unknown actors given the commitment they need to make to those series.
