Maybe because I'm female that I'm not getting the point of sex scenes in Marvel stuff, but my partner felt the same, were they an added bonus to entice the dirty Mac brigade?
And the awful Tennent just stank, of all the things to get a second outing this should not have been one of them.”
You’re not alone.
I have absolutely no problem with sex or nudity in a programme if it’s appropriate, but I hate it when it’s added in for no real reason.
I felt this about Strike Back (although it did tone it down a bit in later seasons), it was an action programme, it didn’t need sex and nudity (sometimes full frontal) in just about every episode. However, in Californication I had no objections to the explicit sex and nudity as it played a major part in the plot and life of the main character.
I’m a guy by the way.
How explicit were the sex scenes in Jessica Jones? Was there actual nudity? If so, then I’d say you probably right, it was just added in to be ‘adult’ and controversial.
