8 Awesome Easter Eggs In Jessica Jones Season 1

1) The Purple Man

While he may have been portrayed as having a penchant for wearing purple clothing, David Tennant’s Kilgrave is never once referred to as Purple Man in Jessica Jones. That’s understandable (they also dropped the “Zebediah” part of his name), but you have to hand it to the series for finding a way to incorporate his comic book counterpart’s purple skin in the finale.

When Kilgrave’s father injects him with a concoction of drugs to make his powers even great, purple veins can be seen spreading up from his neck, and it seemed for a second as if the show would end with him actually being purple. Obviously, that wasn’t the case, but when the villain really intensely barks an order at Jessica, his face does go purple for a split second, a side effect of that injection no doubt.

As brief as it may have been, this was definitely a fitting way to handle it.
