I am utterly perplexed as to why people keep posting this image with text that implies that we’re supposed to sympathise with the mass murdering serial rapist.

But I’m the caster, I couldn’t possibly sympathize for a lowly fighter!

Always seen this meme format posted here, bo clue what it’s supposed to be from

From Jessica Jones, the guy has a superpower where what he speaks is treated as a command by the one hearing it.

It’s from Jessica Jones, a very, very good show. David Tennant plays a man with mind control powers who uses them in all of the worst ways you can possibly imagine. It’s technically a Marvel comics thing, but the creators were given total carte blanche and went deep into the absolute nightmarishness of the subject matter. It’s basically a mix of detective noir and horror. Tennant and Ritter both deliver incredible performances and the show really plays with the abject terror of living in a world with superhumans in it. It’s like a version of Invincible that refuses to ever undermine the horror by cracking a joke.

Tenant does such a good job with the role that I legitimately had a hard time watching him as other characters for a while after. Kilgrave is so fucking vile on so many levels, but is still a fully fleshed out awful character by the end, and Tenant absolutely nails it.

It’s a ridiculously good performance and I think it really shocked a lot of people who only knew him from Doctor Who.

I’ve always said that it takes a genuinely good person to play a truly vile villain, and that’s Tennant through and through.

Totally the same. Between this and him as Crowley in good omens I have a hard time seeing him as anything but these 2 characters.

I think my favorite episode was the ‘kilgrave tries to be a hero.’ Like, there were so many perspectives that could be taken, and all of them had valid points. They did a good job with it. It also… did have a dark comedy/joke to it. The exasperation of the two main characters as he struggles through the hostage scene was humorous.

If you want a less explicit example of what he does that doesn’t really spoil anything, he picks some random family’s house as a base and tells the kids to stay out of sight. Iirc they just stand in a closed closet because they can’t disobey.

They aren’t familiar with Kilgrave and just make the meme based off the image and their interpretation of it

i just assumed it was the Doctor ranting at someone at the end of an episode

It only implies that if you’ve watched the show. Otherwise its a picture that says 10,000 words.

The fact that people see the emotion over the lore just shows the acting was good IMO.

Why would you use an image as a meme format if you didn’t know where it came from? That’s an incredibly bad way to communicate. You’re basically saying “Yes your Honor, but you see I was deliberately being an idiot.” Like, that doesn’t make it better.

You don’t have to know the history of every meme that you post.

It’s ok it’s a TV show and he was just acting.
