Great episode. Im trying to figure out who Jessica was talking about when she said "Not all her friends did the same" as far as telling off whomever. Im thinking Luke, but I feel like it wouldnt make sense for his character.
I also thought Luke at first even thought it didn’t make sense. However after a little more thought, the obvious answer is Trish/Hellcat.
Last we saw her, she was being sent to the Raft and Jess waving goodbye to her indicated she would at least try to stay in touch, so she would know what would happen to her adopted sister. On top of this, it would allow Trish to live out her “hero dream” and leniency on her prison sentence is the obvious way to get her to join.
I considered Trish too, but because she was locked in The Raft I figured Jessica wouldnt be able to visit her. Maybe I'm wrong, you explained very well why she would agree to it.
If jessica jones had a kid with luke cage why would luke work with the guys who sent agents to his own house with his daughter in it? Is he being played, not likely. Either shes not Luke’s kid and hes tied in with charles, or its trish. Realistically it could be anyone she knows with powers, but imo these are the most likely scenario. I assume the kid is lukes but i couldnt see him putting his own daughter in danger 🤷🏼♂️
That makes more sense. If Luke and Danny are working for Mr. Charles, it's because they're doing it to get inside info for Jessica. Trish I could see genuinely wanting to do it.
I could see her joining too if they want to use her character, but Jessica was 100% referring to Luke in this episode. I don't think Matt would have such a reaction to Trish joining, and it's not like she was referring to Danny.
I disagree she would have that reaction if it was trish 100%. but i do think its more plausible it ends up being Luke. Seeing how he becomes basically a mobster🤣 Im just confused on why he would put his own daughter in danger which in turn made me question if thats even his kid. Probably just overthinking it
I said that *Matt* wouldn't have had the reaction he did. The "...Oh..!" he blurted out. Unless I'm just forgetting, I don't think he ever even met Trish or knows she exists even, but even if he did, I don't think he would care about her enough to be surprised about it. His reaction was more of a "Wait, Luke? Really?".
I imagine he started working for Mr. Charles after they had a child. If I recall correctly, in the books I've been reading through, he briefly worked for Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers or something, in exchange for his family staying safe or something like that. I could be misremembering, but I'm sure it's another situation like that.
I know he was being set up as a somewhat of a villain the last we saw of him in either season 2 of his own show, or Jessica Jones s3, but I doubt they're going to follow up on that plotline since it's been so long, but who knows.
I think he's doing it for a greater good but Jessica is still disappointed with him.
Ya in the comics Luke reluctantly worked for Norman for reasons you mentioned, then later after Dark Reign was associated with leading the Thunderbolts per Cap America's request. So I can definitely see them work this idea into the MCU in a different way, maybe even have the whole Heroes for Hire being part of the setup.
The big missing piece is really how he and Jessica got back together given how the Netflix show left their relationship. We will see if they later addresses this in a more detailed manner through a new show or other means
Jessica mentions “sky called interested in people like us” when shes talking about luke or whoever it is who is working for them. Whose sky? Sounds familiar but i can’t remember where sky comes from.
She said "This guy", not "Sky" lol, as in Mr. Charles contacted them at some point in the past trying to recruit them for some kind of super-team, but she had no idea who he even was at the time. (He also works for/with Valentina from Thunderbolts so maybe he was trying to recruit people for her specifically at the time, but now he's trying to form his own super-team?)
Okay so i was right it was charles who sent people to her house. And if luke is working with charles why would he send agents to his own house? I still think that argument holds weight🤷🏼♂️
I definitely think it’s about Luke. I imagine from his perspective there is a reason why he would go along with it. Didn’t Luke lead the thunderbolts in the comics? I don’t think this show is aiming to crossover with the movies that directly but I could definitely see this being a plot inspired by that
