In a scene reminiscent of something youd see in American Horror Story, the tormented Jessica Jones is eerily back in the presence of her family as theyre getting ready for a trip away. Now staying with Kilgrave in her former house, Jessica wakes up to see her mother, father and brother at the bottom of her bed and all seems well. A little too well. Before you know it, blood starts to pour from her younger brothers head as the scene takes a demented turn and is soon revealed to be a dream.
12. Rape
You can get all kinds of deep with the Jessica Jones show, citing it as being essentially a story of a rape victim trying to rebuild her life after the horrific act. The rape in question is Kilgraves rape of Jones mind, but we find out here that the rogue went to all kinds of terrible depths when it came to Jessica. After Kilgrave makes a quip about how they used to do a lot more than just hold hands, Jessica calls him out on how he raped her physically and mentally in every sense of the word. Its a hard-hitting moment and clearly a delicate subject that the show isnt afraid to tackle head on. The Netflix-exclusive Marvel shows have been extremely edgy so far, and this was certainly a major WTF moment as the show addressed one of the worst crimes out there.
