Marvel's Jessica Jones Season 2: 10 Reasons To Be Excited
The Punisher was great, but...
After the long-awaited and deeply enjoyable team-up audiences got in the Defenders, fans have been vying for a new season of, by now, old favourites—starting with the tough as nails P.I, with super strength only secondary to her skills as a detective, the street-smart superhero Jessica Jones.
This marks the return one of the best, if not the best series among the Netflix Marvel shows, standing as the most grounded, grittiest, and least campy of all of them, even with a super-powered protagonist. After mysterious ninjas and magic fists and colourful, costumed villains, her return will be a breath of fresh air, bringing audiences back to her film noir style storytelling, intriguing plot lines, and mysteries to solve alongside the harrowed heroine.
With questions and plot threads left unanswered from the first season just waiting to be explored, season two is sure to be a bumpy ride, with Jessica's origins and the aftermath of her fight with Kilgrave weighing heavy on her super-powered shoulders. From Kilgrave's return to the trailer teasing Jessica finally discovering the origin of her superpowers and the dangerous secrets they come with, this is one Marvel show fans absolutely cannot miss.
10. Brighter Than Ever
Based on the trailer alone, it seems like the show's atmosphere has gone from sombre and tense in purples and blues to something more kinetic and high-energy. Jessica's more driven than ever, a far cry from the out-of-work alcoholic hiding from media attention that she was in The Defenders, only just getting back in the saddle after Kilgrave.
The season brings back what we loved from Jessica's first outing as PI and reluctant hero - starting with low-level cases like adulteries and inevitably falling to high stakes hunts for answers and hidden enemies - but this time, with a brighter, bolder colour palette to go with it. The yellows and highlights added to the palette look like a new day, after the dark night of the first season. It'll be a refreshing change for people who want to see Jessica in action, since it seems like she's gonna be getting a lot more action in this season (literally and figuratively)—chasing down quarry instead of being stalked by a madman.
And really, who wouldn't be hyped by that Heart's Barracuda baseline in the trailer, matching Jessica's purposeful stride, her throwing down with new threats, and her hunt for answers?
