If you had the powers of Kilgrave


Admit it, you'd use them to get the the same things Kilgrave does. He's the most realistic villain out there. He's not out to conquer the world. He's just out to get laid. That makes him cool.

Uhh, no. The prospect of having Kilgrave's powers would be terrifying. You know how Kilgrave claims he can't turn his power off, so he always has to be careful about what he says ("I once told a man to go screw himself. Can you imagine?" Can you imagine such a life and becoming accustomed to, and then expectant of, having your absolute ''every'' whim obeyed? I think most people would turn out just like Kilgrave, especially if you get said abilities in childhood.

Of all the women he could have coerced into having sex with him, why did he pick Jessica? She's OK looking but not all that. He could have picked someone way hotter. That would of been better.

Because she was a gifted person. That's why he asked her if she had an alias when he first saw her on the street. Kilgrave knew he could use Jessica as both a sex slave, while using her superstrength as a weapon.

reply

He chose Jessica because she was the only person he couldnt control. Which in a way, made him want her more.

Urich: Guess I have more faith in humanity. Fisk: So did Christ, if I recall.

Not quite. He chose her because he saw she had powers. It was only after the death of Reva that Jessica regained free will. That probably did result in his obsession.

In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.

reply

Yeah, I thought the same thing. She was so annoying and obnoxious. He could have just used his powers to charm any girl without really using mind control on her, but I guess that would not make a very good tv show.

reply

Maybe something different. At first it seems like a bit of fun and she is unusual in the fact that she is not pretty in the conventional way.

Me, Sarah Palin and Margot Robbie would be having an intimate conversation and we'd rent out the penthouse suite for months. They'd both be preggo in a matter of hours

reply

All the woman in the world you can think of you picked Sara palin?

reply

Sarah Palin? Wow.

There's always free cheddar in the mousetrap

reply

Have you guys seen her? She's soooooo stunning. I would be in heaven. Absolute heaven. Just add a pair of high heels and a fur coat and I'd be set.

You cannot tell me this isn't a beautiful woman!

Well on the one hand that's a terrifying comment.

On the other hand, I do sort of see how Kilgrave is somewhat more realistic in that he's not looking to rule the world or be a billionaire like so many TV/film villains.



Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late)

Sounds weird maybe but I would use it mostly to get people to tell the truth. Sometimes you just know you're being lied to or someone is trying to hide whatever intentions they really have. So with my sweet, little voice I would command people to say the truth.

reply

I would use it to change the world for the better.

It wouldn't even be that difficult. Just a few words to the right people now and then.

reply

Me getting laid makes the world a better place, at least for me.

Right but what if you end up producing tons of offspring and some or all of them have the same ability?

reply

Yeah that's how it starts. Just a few hits here and there, y'know, to help get the presentation in on time. Then one day you realise you're using every day, and then non stop.

Never say "Worst movie ever" to someone who's seen Highlander 2

reply

That's what I think. You might have good intentions or just trying to improve your own life a bit but after a certain time, you just give in and do whatever you want. But for a short time, I would love to see how my life would change while having his power.

So basically it would be like Donald Trump "grab that PUSSY".

If it were Trump, he would be rigging the election in his favor. Since he's losing so badly, he's clearly not Kilgraved.

Sheer arrogance handed him the election.... no super powers required

reply

Ha ha ha joke's on you. If I had the power of the President I'd use it to grab all the pusssy I want. That's what Trump said he's going to do and I believe him! LOL 💏🇺🇸

The big point about Kilgrave's power that people forget is that Jessica said no person with his abilities could be on anyone's side. He's on his own side.

Furthermore, you know what separates Kilgrave from Drumpf? The fact that Kilgrave keeps things small, not yuuge. Had Kilgrave had not been so obsessed with Jessica and had the strength to just avoid her, he could have spent his entire life living the way he was. Drifting from penthouse to penthouse doing whatever he wanted.

reply

I would abuse my powers for everyday things but don't think I could go as far as mind tricking a woman to have sex with me.

Why not lots of guys trick women into having sex with them all the time. Pick up artists even have books telling you how to screw with girls' minds so you can screw them other ways.

Tricking women into having sex with you and making them do it against their will is two different things. I also am always honest with women when it comes to sex.
