NYCC 2015: First JESSICA JONES Episode Screened; Marvel Gets Risky and Sexual in This One



Marvel is not know for sexuality in their movies or television shows at all. Well, that's about to change as fans at New York Comic Con got a surprise from Marvel TV as they brought the first episode of JESSICA JONES to show the crowd.

The Daily SuperHero was not at this panel but everything I've heard revolves around the sex shown in the episode. Apparently, it was shocking (for Marvel standards) and Jessica Jones is shown in several positions during her "encounter."

The following is a description of this sex scene, via Vulture, so here's your SPOILER ALERT. You've been warned.

"But y'know what's delightfully unsubtle? The sex scene that will have everyone's eyebrows on the ceiling once it hits Netflix in November. The episode introduces us to Mike Colter's Luke Cage, a beefy superhuman (though he's not yet revealed as such) who will soon star in his own Netflix series. In a sequence lifted more or less directly from the comics series Jessica Jones is based on, a depressed Jessica finds Luke at the bar he runs and confidently hits on him. He's coy at first, accusing her of flirting with him, but Jessica says she doesn't flirt: she just gets what she wants. 'What do you want?' Luke asks? 
"Smash cut to Luke on top of Jessica in his bed, going at it with a sexual fury unlike anything Marvel (or DC, for that matter) has even come close to putting on screen. She eggs him on, and when he warns her that she might not be able to take it, she insists she can. At that point, he flips her over and starts taking her from behind while the camera focuses on her impassioned face. It's a scene where Jessica is in total control of her sexuality. Whatever her reason may be for banging Luke, she's doing it on her terms. It's the way real-life grown-ups have sex, not the way neutered TV superheroes do. The audience at Comic-Con seemed to simultaneously clutch its pearls and lean forward in titillated fascination."


Sounds like Marvel's most risky and sexually produced project yet. Is it November 20 yet?!?!
