This series had a very rough first season, the only saving graces being the supporting characters (Mike Colter and David Tennant specifically) and unfortunately season two just doubles down on the angst and alcoholism and leaves out character development, much to my chagrin. Unless there’s something that directly leads into The Defenders season 2 (if it ever happens) I’m going to be skipping any further adventures of Jessica Jones, she just isn’t worth my time.
The only saving grace of season two is that they finally nailed down what her actual powers are: she’s strong. That’s it. It was heavily implied in The Defenders that she could fly while carrying an elevator, but it seems that wasn’t a correct implication.
I agree with pretty much everything you said. Although, I do remember a conversation between Jessica and Trish in season one in which it was implied that Jessica USED to be able to fly (she called it “falling with aim” or something like that). I guess, for her, it was a perishable skill. But, yeah, it’s like they dropped all that. Pretty crazy. I mean, it’s not like they have a wealth of pre-made story to utilize. Hmm? Oh, they do? Nevermind.
Implies to me that she just jumps though.
