【Watch Swap (2024) full movie】

Spoilers for Season 2 of Jessica Jones

Jessica Jones has been through a lot. She had been when we met her – two and Watch Swap (2024) full moviea half years and three seasons ago, before breaking Kilgrave's neck or joining the rest of her local heroes to face off with the Hand in The Defenders.

After the events of Season 2, our battered hero is more bruised than ever, and it's hard to imagine those battle scars ever fading.

If Jessica JonesSeason 1 was about exiling the past, then Season 2 is about protecting the future (albeit often by way of exiling the past). Jessica sees the future she could have with her mother Alisa, a super-powered and super-temperamental addition to her life courtesy of IGH. She forms an attachment despite herself; this isn't a stranger, after all, but the mother she knows and remembers from childhood – or at least some of her.

Gaining and losing her mother so quickly, and in such charged circumstances, is going to take a toll on Jessica Jones. She's guilty about doing what felt like leading Alisa to her death, but regretful that any of it ever happened in the first place. Maybe life would have been better if they never found each other again; maybe, with more time, she could have helped her mother (though I don't honestly think Jessica believed this). Ultimately, their time together was an escape.

In the process, she also lost Trish. Little Patsy Walker really went through it this season, going from a conspicuously perfect life (and conspicuously attractive, successful, and British boyfriend) to a full nosedive back into addiction and eventually killing Jessica's mother. After a turbulent season, the friends-slash-sisters end this Season no longer on speaking terms, perhaps for good. Trish may have feared for Jessica's life, but still shot her mother and put all of them at risk while her curiosity about IGH grew.

The notion that Trish envied Jessica's abilities to the point of submitting herself for surgery feels like a stretch, but what doesn't is the principle behind it; Trish woke up in the hospital berating Jessica for wasting her abilities and not rising to the mantle of hero. For someone as desperate to make a difference in the world as Trish is, that must have been infuriating, but being a superhero vigilante is a different kettle of fish in theory than in practice.

From the looks of that finale, Trish is about to learn exactly how the practice plays out. Something about that surgery took, and suddenly Patsy has heightened reflexes and can catch a falling iPhone with her foot (this is the best real-world superpower). Does she have super strength too? Or speed, or super-sensory awareness? (We know a guy in Hell's Kitchen who has some experience with that).

It's hard to imagine we still have to care about lawyers in Hell's Kitchen with everything else that happened this season, but we do! Jeri is zen now, having blackmailed her former partners and broken free of their firm with loads of cash and clients that will certainly be able to buy back all her furniture. Malcolm and his new haircut join up too, and frankly we can't wait to see what he and Foggy get up to in DaredevilSeason 3 (this is a pipe dream but also a free idea for Marvel TV).

Even in extenuating circumstances, that drive upstate with her mom made a world of difference to Jessica. For a few hours, she didn't have to be the grown up or shoulder any responsibility solo. Her final conversation with Alisa will prove to be pivotal.

"Hero isn't a bad word, Jessica," she says on that fateful ferris wheel. "It's just someone who gives a shit and does something about it."

With all her baggage and that rough exterior, Jessica Jones has never fully fit that bill. But now she might finally be ready.
