following the release of "jessica jones", david priest at c|net/a wrote about how the series rescues "marvel from itself ... "jessica jones" takes big steps forward in terms of theme, craft and diversity. it's a good story first, and a superhero show second. and for the first time, the mcu seems like it matters. our culture needs stories like this. here's hoping marvel keeps them coming." for paul tassi and erik kain of "forbes", watching the series made them question the mcu, with kain feeling that the "morally complex, violent, dark world of "jessica jones" has no place in the mcu ... right now, the mcu is holding back shows like "jessica jones" and "daredevil", while those shows are contributing absolutely nothing to the mcu." tassi went so far as to wonder what "the point of the marvel cinematic universe" is, lamenting the lack of major crossovers in the franchise since the "winter soldier" reveal on "agents of s.h.i.e.l.d.", and saying that "jessica jones" is "so far removed from the world of "the avengers", it might as well not be in the same universe at all ... [i] really don't understand the point of [the mcu] if they're going to keep everything within it separated off in these little boxes". conversely, eric francisco of inverse called "jessica jones"s lack of overt connections to the mcu "the show's chief advantage. besides demonstrating how physically wide open the mcu's scope really is, "jessica jones" also proves the mcu's thematic durability."
