why is it always the woman who has to see past the beast in the man? [x]
So what, it’s just every man for himself, then, huh? Everything I learned in church, all the praying that my mom did for the sick and the dying, all the community projects my dad worked on, basically, everything that they taught me… it was all bullshit? They’re idiots and I’m just the only asshole in the world who didn’t know?
“Jessica Jones was really an exploration of a survivor and her healing, to the degree that she does in facing those demons quite literally.
With rape, I think we all know what that looks like. We’ve seen plenty of it on television and I didn’t have any need to see it, but I wanted to experience the damage that it does. I wanted the audience to really viscerally feel the scars that it leaves. It was not important to me, on any level, to actually see it. TV has plenty of that, way too often, used as titillation, which is horrifying.” –Melissa Rosenberg
Marvel’s Jessica Jones has four principal male characters, and they each demonstrate familiar facets of masculine tropes: the controlling monster, the dark berserker in disguise, the compassionate nurturer, and the romantic protector. There are good men and bad men in Jessica Jones, but the show’s slow-revealing pace means that the audience experiences what is the daily reality for most women: you can’t always tell a good man from a bad man at first sight, and rolling that dice can get you killed.
