Ok i'm tired of watching Jessica drink and act depressed


Its beyond fucking annoying and insufferable at this point, its not entertaining watching someone do that for 13 episodes every fucking season. She needs to have a character change or something cause its getting so repetitive and boring to watch.

She's leaning toward that as of the end of Season 2, which is good. Because it seems like she pushed everyone away and she'll have to bail them out or bring them to their better selves in season 3 i assume.

Yeah watching someone have a pity party for themselves everyday is fucked up, but Jessica is probably a walking depressed person with an axe to grind, which is sad, she seemed happy and somewhat adjusted in the flashbacks, but fragile, which has morphed into 'don't fuck with me' Jessica.

I readily second your idea. At some point, if you don't give viewers a protagonist they would like to support, then you're not going to have viewers at all.

Except for Iron Fist, every other Defender is like "I don't wanna be a heeeeeeerooooooooo! Leemee lone!" Although it seemed like Luke Cage was changing a bit toward the end of the series.

I get that she can continuously drink without any consequences from substance abuse due to her healing powers but damn, the few drunks I knew chain-smoked when they went on a bender. It's not as though she's going to get lung cancer.

Of course this is a TV show aimed towards a younger generation, so cigarettes are a big no-no.
