You should post that Jackie Chan video onto global. A lot of people could really appreciate it.

Jessica Jones is something completely different, both in story telling and in feel. Pacing wise, it was kind of a slow burn. For the most part, it seemed to fit the tone of the show. It's more of a thriller/mystery than a beat-em up action fest so any sense of urgency would need to fit the situation for fear of it being forced. There are a few episodes where I did feel like the story was being dragged out a bit, because of the pacing. I didn't enjoy the series as much as Daredevil, as it's not really my kind of story, but overall I think it was alright. If I had to say one thing definitely, I think they did a wonderful job with the character Nuke. In the comics, he's a bit over the top and I don't think it would have fit the series by being a direct translation. By toning him down a bit, he became much more realistic.
