32 WTF Moments From Marvel's Jessica Jones

31. Enter, Luke Cage

Marvel€™s Jessica Jones wasted no time in having Luke Cage entering the action€ in more ways than one. The two heroes have seen each other around, with Cage running a local bar and Jones fitting the description of being local, hot and drinking alone. Within a matter of minutes, the pair end up in bed and engage in some intense, hard sex. There€™s a famous (or is that infamous?) moment in the Alias comics where Jones and Cage partake in a particular sexual act, and this shocking moment certainly seemed to be implicated here. Again, this was a hard-hitting happening and one that once more set the tone for what this series is all about.

30. Dead Parents

By the end of the first episode, we€™d started to get an idea about what uber-rogue Kilgrave was all about as Jessica is suffering from what€™s almost a form of PTSD after what he€™d put her through. As poor Hope is finally rescued and reunited with her parents, all seems well and the first episode looked to be ending on a relatively positive note. Only it doesn€™t. It really, really doesn€™t. After Hope shockingly kills her parents in an elevator, Jones rushes to the ground floor just in time to find two corpses and young Hope instructing Jessica to €œsmile€ before the realisation of what she€™s done takes over. This was almost an Episode Strikes Back-esque ending for the first episode, with doom and pain the order of the day.
