Twilight Scribe Melissa Rosenberg talks about why Jessica Jones is more interesting than Wonder Woman

Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg had a lot to say about her new project 'AKA Jessica Jones' and how her character has more to offer than WW.

Now, for those who don't about Jessica Jones. She's from the Marvel Comics universe and a former Avenger. After a fallout, she leaves the group and start her own detective agency that helps other superheroes. The comic was called 'Alias' and had a successful run in the early part of the 00's. Now the comic is being develop into a TV series.

Okay, so back to the point of the post. Melissa explains why Jessica is more interesting than Diana:

 I think one of the major differences between Wonder Woman and Jessica Jones is that Wonder Woman is iconic and much better known, so you get into a lot of ridiculous expectations, like what’s her costume going to look like? Well, nobody knows who Jessica Jones is, except for fangirls and boys. So we have more freedom to actually bring the character to the screen in a way with a lot fewer expectations.

The other side of that is we’ll have to earn fans as opposed to having them already in place.But I think there’s also another element of Wonder Woman vs. Jessica Jones; I find Jessica Jones a much more interesting character to write for than Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is so noble and heroic, and I don’t find that as interesting as one who’s really damaged and flawed and has post-traumatic stress disorder. Her superpowers are kind of B-level, they’re not all that great. [Laughs] I just find that much more interesting, you know? It’s like she’s not quite cutting it in the superhero world, she’s a little too weird to be in the human world, so she ends up straddling both. 

I disagree. Diana is not perfect and naivete is her biggest flaw. But I don't want to turn this into a 12 page post. I'll just agree to disagree with Melissa.
