You obviously don't play poker... you can't just fold after going all-in.

It just wouldn't have been hard for them to make a scenario where all players were in on a pot, he then proceeds to ask players what cards they have, once knowing he has the best hand, he then forces them to go all-in. Once again, would have taken an extra 30 seconds and it would have made sense. Going about it how they did was just stupid... It's fine, it's a TV show, little stupid shit happens all the time. Someone brought it up, and I'm just agreeing and explaining why it was stupid. You can agree to disagree all you want. It just doesn't make any sense that he tried to do everything as legitimately as possible leading up to trying to win over Jessica, and then they have a scene that just shows that none of the writers have ever played poker in their fucking lives lol.

Same thing you see with hacker shit on TV, or other various random shit where you know the writer just has NO fucking clue what he's talking about.



I play poker. I want you to find me the rule where it says you can't fold after going all in. I searched and could not find it. It's probably an "unwritten rule," but still ambiguous nonetheless.

Asking each guy what cards they have would have taken longer as killgraves can't control what cards he is dealt......he would have to wait for the situation where he "could" have the best cards and even then, every single player would have to have worse cards than him. He wanted one card game where all players were in.

Hey, manipulating players into showing their cards is also against the rules but you don't seem to care about that.

Having them go all in and folding against 2/7 creates even more confusion for them after the fact because it's the worst hand. He even insults them for it.

whether there is, or is not, a rule against folding when going all in, killgraves doesn't have to follow it. He creates more confusion this way which is exactly what his character is about.

The scene was fine the way it was executed.

He can't make money on his own unless he got a job, so I don't understand how you propose that making people give him money by force is legitament.

Watched the first episode, was not really impressed.

The comments here will make me watch a few more. Maybe it will grow on me slowly :)

It's the golden era of superhero films / series!!

No one ever knows they're being watched unless it fits the narrative.

So is Kill grave like her Joker? or is her "main bad dude" someone else? or was this just a season to get to know the character because they plan on combining the future lineup of superheros?

/e I know nothing really about Jessica other then what I saw in the first season never even heard of her before finding out this show was in the making.

Just a getting to know and introduce her series.

First was daredevil, then jessica jones, after that is luke cage getting a season, then ironfist and finally a defender series where all of them are on the same team.

Also, he is essentially her joker, so we don't know if he's gone for good. (just because his neck snapped doesn't mean he's dead, in the comic he has accelerated healing) it's marvel after all, villains die and return all the time. Their history together is pretty elaborate and we never saw him become the purple man, so I have a feeling he'll return. Also, one of the best arcs from the comics was when kilgrave sent her after the avengers.

Mortal Combat was Johnny Cage, heh.

He's important. He's getting a series that will air next year after daredevil season 2 (which will probably around april)
Rumor has it jessica jones will cross over into his series. We've already seen set photos of the nurse from daredevil making an appearance.
I want to see jessica get another season or at least have them explore the avengers arc. They need to do some crossovers into the big screen outside of just mentioning names and events.
