Why Jessica Jones is Your New Favorite Superhero

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Marymount chapter.

Season 1 of Marvel’s “Jessica Jones” was released on Netflix November 20th and now we are hooked!

Here are more than a few reasons why Jessica Jones is your new favorite superhero!

1. She’s a strong, independent businesswoman (of a sort)

She takes pride in being a Private Investigator and goes to great lengths to solve her cases.

2. She’s 100% honest and isn’t afraid to show her dark side

And she’s sarcastic as heck about it.

3. She’s not afraid to confront her past, no matter how much it terrifies her

She faces the demons in her head and the ones in front of her.

4. She’s brave

She helps others even when it puts her own life in danger.

5. She surrounds herself with other badass women like her best friend Trish. 

6. She has a heart

She falls in love and cares for people even if it gets in the way of her thinking clearly.

7. She’s a goofball

She’s witty and fun with the people she trusts, even during the difficult times.

8. She’s a superhero who walks alone

She save lives to save lives, not for recognition. And she always tries to make things right.

We’re excited for even more reasons to love her this season! HCXO!
