Marvel’s Jessica Jones has four principal male characters, and they each demonstrate familiar facets of masculine tropes: the controlling monster, the dark berserker in disguise, the compassionate nurturer, and the romantic protector. There are good men and bad men in Jessica Jones, but the show’s slow-revealing pace means that the audience experiences what is the daily reality for most women: you can’t always tell a good man from a bad man at first sight, and rolling that dice can get you killed.
