I wasn't expecting anything except a dark-themed detective series. I'm really enjoying Luke Cage, but didn't know until

Yup.
If IGH is mentioned in any way at all during Iron Fist then that should seal it. I sure hope it's not "the source" of his (or Daredevil's) powers though.

Marvel definitely doesn't have the rights to X-23 or Psylocke. And one of the reasons I liked the idea of a Jessica Jones series so much was that she was such an obscure character. She brought less baggage to the table than characters that a lot of people know a bit about. And I disagree that X-23, Psylocke, or Spider-Woman are any more interesting than Jessica. Not to take anything away from those characters, who are all interesting in their own rights, but Jessica allows the writers to explore a dimension that has very rarely been touched uponthe "failed" hero and her redemption.

Sorry I think your point is wrong here. You would have to rearrange "baggage" with a word like "Attachments" or "Priorities". As she has plenty of mental trauma which is highlighted and those kinds of issues are considered "baggage," same as things like having children or a troublesome ex can be. -

Sigh. He means a long history in the comics or in "common knowledge" about the character among non-comic fans. Like how many people know Daredevil is a blind vigilante or that Hulk is angry etc.
He (or she) is not saying the character doesn't have baggage in story - just that the fictional character's history is less complex than some of the comic characters that have been around since the 50s or 70s even.

FWIW I can't recall why I had that sigh in there. I can't imagine it was directed at you based on re-reading the thread.
Apologies if it came off that way.

I never finished the show myself. Started watching when it came out and just stopped. The show and characters didn't really do for me. I thought Kilgrave was great villain.

Personally i think jj told the story better than dd and lc.
I do think there are flaws.
Jj living with kilgrave.
They should have explored kilgrave being a hero more instead of the lesbian lawyer interlude or kilgrave working more with carrie an moss.
Less of the wonder twins and the addict neighbor.
