Yeah, from a writing standpoint, I think we needed to see some desire for reform for justification for the complexity. It can work, but it wasn't natural or well justified.

Also, it kind of felt to me like she was villain-coded and terrifying right up until we discovered that she's a cute white redheaded teen girl, which felt off to me.

When her lines come out of a cop or a random black dude or MJ, it feels like we're supposed to see Kilgrave. We're supposed to really hate her. And then as soon as we see her real face, all of a sudden even when she's possessing the motherfuckin' hulk the direction seems to insist that we're supposed to suddenly see her as far more human. Maybe this means nothing, but I couldn't help feeling like the movie seemed written by someone with a really heavy bias on who deserves retributive justice and who deserves restorative justice. Like she was irredeemable until white, female, and pretty.

She's REALLY lucky that Spidey saved all of the people she almost murdered.

100%. The movie really seemed to bend over backward to forgive her without her even needing to ask for it.

I'll also add that obviously, part of the reason is that many of the viewers are implicitly told that we're watching a hero origin story for one of the X-Men.
