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.
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.
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.
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.

Always seen this meme format posted, no clue what it’s supposed to be from

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 repugnant villain, and by all accounts 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.

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

You don’t have to know the history of every meme that you post.
Go have a juice box buddy. You’ll feel better.
It’s ok it’s a TV show and he was just acting.
But I’m the caster, I couldn’t possibly sympathize for a lowly fighter!
