Warning: Spoilers Jessica Jones finally came out this weekend, and I (being me) finished the entire show within a day. Once I finished the show, I wallowed in self-pity and denial for a bit until I collected my thoughts and hauled my ass to my laptop. So here are some random thoughts that came across my mind over the course of 13 hours. No matter what this article says, I loved Jessica Jones, maybe even more than Daredevil.

X-Men: The Last Stand seemed like an obvious movie to make. After establishing characters and plots for two movies, adapting one of the most popular X-Men storylines seemed like a surefire way to create more money for the franchise.
