Jessica Jones - Killgrave's Commands (Part One)

[@mattwho81]

Tennant said in a interview that Kilgrave doesn't see himself as a villain, hes a man whose never had a chance to have a proper conversation, let alone form any sense of morality.

[@EmptyMan000]

@NecroMelodia Indeed. There's blatant evil and delusional evil but they're both still evil. Kilgrave would be the latter and sometimes indulges in the former if he's feeling sadistic.

[@maxhydekyle2425]

Well he does straight up say so in the show

[@asmartistenthusiast3469]

Oh I feel so sorry for someone who cant just not be a homicidal maniac. He can control his powers hes just a dick. Though david plays him perfectly

[@AwinoWrites]

How does that not make him evil? He's human, that is clear. Evil is a choice.

[@Kasiarzynka]

@The Program I like your comment, it's very in-depth and analytic. Kilgrave is easily probably the best villain I've ever seen or read about. Half the time I wanted him to actually figure out how to be "a good guy". Half the time I wanted him dead. But I never stopped admiring him for how well he was written and portrayed, including the acting. Perhaps especially the acting. The scenes with him being locked in that safehouse were extremely satisfying as he deserved punishment and obviously couldn't just be handed over to the police and court. But they were also heartbreaking, as you could see that little, terrified child in his eyes. I also noticed pretty soon that he is a sociopath, like you mentioned. I think it only became crystal clear when they saved that family and he made it all about himself. At that point it could've been either that he would realize it feels good to do good from time to time or it would become clear that he's a lost cause. I'd like to add some more but I guess you said everything that could've been said. Wish I could like your comment twice.

[@nicholashylton6857]

One of the most terrifying villains, *_ever!_* Killgrave has no interest in taking over the world or the universe. Instead, he shatters lives in the most personally... intimately... and grotesquely ways possible. I am just blown away by David Tennant's performance!!

The thing I love about Killgrave is that he doesn't just outright say do this shit for me all the time but works his commands into everyday conversation giving the outside impression that the person he was talking to just arrived at that conclusion themselves.

[@dazzatv9571]

yeah he said it annoyed him at one point

[@twiglegg508]

of course after he keeps them in the control long enough they will realize it, in addition what he says is open to interpretation, giving those people the ability to not do exactly what he says or to outsmart him in that sense. An example would be when he says to put a bullet in your head just take out a bullet stick it in your mouth then take it out. There millions of ways to come up with technicalities to these things.

[@the_kovic]

What? He does precisely that. He's talking to person, stops him mid-sentence, says "Leave." and the guy leaves. He fucking walks into a guy's house, says "I'm gonna live here now indefinitely." and no one bats an eye.

[@zacharycooke7629]

Later in the show he talks about how pissed he is that he has to be careful of how he words things because of his unique powers

[@brianbrush5107]

@@the_kovic He does that sometimes. But not ALL the time

[@MasqMasque]

I love the addition of Killgrave being a football fan who likes to shout at the TV. He can shout all the commands he wants at them to play this and that way, knowing that he won’t affect them. It gives you some great insight into his character. It shows that he truly is desperate for human contact where he doesn’t have to worry about every single word he says, but he doesn’t actually want to change his behaviour. It’s also so impersonal and still entirely in his control, in the sense that he can turn the tv on and off whenever he wants. It also shows that he always has a need to tell other people what to do- even when they can’t hear him. Like, they could have had him watch any program and had him say a number of things, but they chose to show him watching a game and shouting at the players whenever he’s dissatisfied with their performance. I imagine that’s how he regularly sees the world and the people around him. Great writing.

[@ThePinkMan]

What I like best about this character is that they were able to make him both sympathetic and utterly despicable at the same time. Even though he spends the entire series ruining the life of every person he comes into contact with, you get a strong impression that he leads a miserable, empty existence and that he was basically fated to become a monster since birth. In the end, all he really wants is love... Something he can never legitimately have with his power.

[@marketastankova2493]

[@sergioolvera1150]

[@Damar158]

He actuallly *Can* just like how he bought Jessica's childhood home without using his power. It's just too much of a bother when he can have anything at anytime inmediatly. Except for Jessica Jones's unconditional love.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

You do realize that in order for him to not use his power he'd basically have to never speak again. Can you imagine how that would porbably drive someone nuts?

[@waismartialarts1]

No he did use his power to buy jessicas house. He never would have got it unless he made the mobsters give him the money and then let him walk out with it. Also since he was a child he could have anything he wanted whenever he wanted it. Children need to be taught delay of gratification and without that being taught and there being literally no reason to have it, its never going to be reingrained in him especially at his age.

[@ksaraf23]

[@theductductgoose]

I like that with the little girl, the "You too" wasn't enough of a command the first time, she was able to argue back that she had to go to the bathroom until he refined the command to be more specific. It's also a thing in the comics that certain people have a high enough willpower to be able to resist him, partially or fully. Since his first command was so weak, but still clear enough for the suggestible state he puts people in, I'd wager that little girl had a bit of a higher than average willpower, but not enough to notice otherwise.

That's the terrifying thing about mind control, it's morally questionable. It uses words as weapon, clouds the victim's judgment and takes away his/her free will.

[@henryjones2766]

What I find interesting about his powers is what kilgrave says to Jessica about when he gave the command "take care of her" he said it was her choice to kill her so I do believe it's purely down to how the individual perceives the command It is quite interesting and it's shown with other commands like "put a bullet in your head" how it's completed upon putting a casing in their mouth

+Crichjo32 I liked him up until he took the serum. Funny thing, his character in the comics is a really not well known character; even I didn't know about him and I love comics.

I reckon for Infinity War, Thanos should resurrect Kilgrave with the soul stone to use as his ally, but then Kilgrave should say "you will give me the gauntlet and go home" and then Kilgrave takes over the world with it

[@thec-m]

H LP - What did you think of Christopher Eccleston and Matt Smith?

[@kinghippo2034]

Saaaaaame, i have a problem with all the doctors really but his one was the most annoying one to me, Eccleston was great, he actually looked like he cared for Rose (amazing chemistry between them also), he also was the most psychotic one (torturing "the last Dalek"). Tennant is just tooo dickless, he let a guy kill his daugther in front of him and he did nothing, in the christmas invasion the introduction to the 10th doctor, he says hes not a second chances man but they just threw that in the trash in the second season and onwards. M Smith seems like a good one, i can tell he actually shows a lot of emotion in the scenes i've seen, he does look, extremely silly sometimes, and i'm talking about the same person who used to wear broccoli as clothing. Capaldi...o fuck, he definetly seems like the most depressed one, also probably the one who most accepts his anger, top that in with his amazing chemistry with Clara and Capaldi's amazing charisma you've got my second favorite doctor, 1th being Eccleston.

[@MastaChiefa99]

After this, I can't view him as the Doctor in the same way again

[@channelsold3236]

this actor 👏 🙌 they way he stepped on the kids car!!!! lmaoooooo had me ROFD!!!!!!!! 🤣 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yet again Tennant knocks it out of the park we need him in the MCU for real

[@AzguardMike]

the fact at the end he bought the house fairly (sure the money was acquired by the mob in poker) and the guy was genuinely happy to move out without mind control, shows Kilgrave had a bit of humanity

[@waitselljones8068]

No, it shows that he gets bored if he has to do everything the easy way. It's why he was so attached to Jessica after she broke free.

[@supernaturalawesome1]

Rewatching this makes me so mad they didn't go with the children of Kilgrave storyline from the comics. They explain with Hope's fetus that his children will inherit some of his Gene's, so potentially his powers. In the comics he has several kids from multiple women he's raped throughout the years who inherit his powers. The most noteworthy is his daughter Kara who becomes a hero named Persuasion. Imagine a season with Kara tracking down Jessica to learn about her father because she wants to learn about what she is. We see her genuinely try and use these powers for good. We see how hard it is to live everyday life without accidentally commanding someone and the tremendous potential for good with this power. Not to mention the great exploration of what it's like to be raised as a child of rape and maybe Kara accidentally commanded her mother to tell her the truth and it just came out......so much potential wasted 😔😡

Killgrave seems more dangerous than any other villain because he can control any person he wants. He could tell Hulk to smash all the other Avengers and tell them to smile and take it lol. If he could control Thanos then holy shit he would be unstoppable. Great character! JJ seems like a horror show sometimes because of how evil he is.

[@NRF-ee6cp]

It's realistic. Some people are charismatic irl without the mind control and are able to manipulate through charm, looks, and words alone.

[@roelfromtheblock7939]

When you think about it, Kilgrave is the most dangerous MCU villain because he can easily manipulate the biggest MCU villains and heroes and use them to kill everyone practically. HELL for all we know he can manipulate Thanos!

i LOVE him. jessica jones was a great new show all round but what really REALLY clinched it for me was the presence of david tennent (who's literally always wonderful and one of the finest actors out there) in such a well written and defined nonchalantly /menacing/ character....he just elevated the whole show to another level. i love how he's written as well as performed. david brings a suave sparkle and charm to the role and at times an almost petulant nature which seems to simultaneously make him terrifying yet believable and even relateable...but the writing is also wonderful in this regard! i LOVE that here is probably one of the most sinister and powerful villains on tv or film right now, and that has zero to do with blah-blah-blah wanton destruction blah blah blah apocalypse oh aren't i so evil, and EVERYTHING to do with how self fucking centered he is! it's very human... next season's villain will have a tough act to follow.
