This weekend, the world met the whiskey-drinking, super-powered Hell's Kitchen detective known as Jessica Jones. She's the star of the second Netflix Marvel superhero show, leading into the team-up series The Defenders, and many people spent their weekends on the couch, devouring all 13 episodes.

    The Handling of Superpowers is Masterful

    When you sit down to watch a Marvel show, you expect superpowers. Jessica Jones obviously delivers that, but it’s dealt out in a very piecemeal, slow fashion—which makes it that much more satisfying when we learn something new.

    So, in the first episode, you find out she’s super strong. She uses that a bit as we wait for her to acknowledge she has powers at all, which she does to Luke Cage. Then we find out she can jump high. We see her use that to varying degrees before she busts out a mega jump, that makes people think she can fly.

    Plus, each time, Jones isn’t impressed or excited about any of this. With every single lock or chain she casually rips apart, she’d much rather just take some photos and pound some whisky. And yet this decision to hold back the reveal of her powers not only makes for a gripping subtextual mystery for the viewer, it adds unpredictability and deeper characterization. Jones herself says she’s not hiding her powers, but she’s not advertising them, either. Which says almost everything you need to know about this confident, yet scared, character.
