Jessica Jones season 2: 5 things we want to see
By Mark Lynch
1. Continue to be unlike any other
What makes Jessica Jones so special is she is nothing like any other superhero. She doesn’t wear a bright colored costume (she made fun of Daredevil for having one), she doesn’t want to be in the spotlight, and she’s a bit of an a-hole. All of these qualities are what make Jessica Jones such a great character.
Jessica Jones is more like a regular person than any of the other heroes. She doesn’t want to use her powers. She just wants to do her job and get on with her life. So when she gets asked a question like, “Why aren’t you a hero anymore” she is justified by replying, “None of your damn business.” She responds the way all of us wish we could. We don’t look at her and think that she’s Captain America or Thor. We love her because she’s nothing like the Avengers.

As long as Jessica Jones continues to be the whiskey drinking, curse hurling, butt-kicking P.I. Jessica Jones season 2 will be a success. We don’t need her to be anything other than she is. We love her because she is flawed and we can all relate to her.
