Jessica Jones, Netflix and Marvel's first new show together since Daredevil, isn't your regular superhero tale. The new trailer (above) drives that point home.
Marvel released a new trailer for Jessica Jones. It’s perfect.
Alex Abad-Santos is a senior correspondent who explains what society obsesses over, from Marvel and movies to fitness and skin care. He came to Vox in 2014. Prior to that, he worked at The Atlantic.
In it, we see empty liquor bottles on an apartment floor taking up the empty spaces between (dirty?) clothes. There’s a woman face down on the bed, the obnoxious afternoon sun screaming down into the apartment. It looks like a hangover from hell. And then we see her crush the snooze button with super strength.
The tiny tease is a perfect lead-in for the show, and a perfect little hint of Jessica Jones’s comic book origin story.
In 48 seconds you understand immediately that Jones is a messy, meandering superpowered person with a bit of a drinking problem. She might be the first Marvel superhero to be hungover (give or take whatever was up with Tony Stark in Iron Man 2), and in sharp contrast to the Avengers, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Daredevil, she’s still in bed at 3 pm. Jones, as you may have grasped, isn’t great at this superhero business.
You’ll be able to see if she can sort herself out when the series drops on November 20, 2015.
