JENNIFER KNIGHT/PHANTOM LADY & DANE MAXWELL/DOLL MAN in PHANTOM LADY AND DOLL MAN (2012)
#jennifer knight#dane maxwell#phantom lady#doll man#dane x jennifer#it’s too bad this series ended so abruptly because this is one trope I’m absolutely about#and it would have been neat to see their relationship progress past the point where jennifer accepted Dane’s feelings for her as real#and embraced her own feelings for him#so we could see the other barriers their lives presented toward them being together (esp with dane being trapped in his small state. as a#character with so much insecurity already who would be hard pressed to believe the woman he’s loved almost all his life finally lives him#back handles the idea of not ‘measuring up’ and his disbelief of being enough for her)#which would parallel whatever insecurities jennifer is showing here. where she’s incapable of believing the man she knows loves her is#someone who could be *in* love with her#and the series never got the chance to explain Jennifer’s backstory in enough detail to illuminate why that might be. why she hides behind#casual sex instead of real intimacy and why she’s blind to the true feelings of someone she clearly cares so much for#and getting more info on their childhood would have been rlly interesting too#diving into how exactly they met and what spurred their mutual interest/eventual friendship#how long have they known each other? was it love at first sight for dane or did he know her before 3rd grade and only realize the depth of#his feelings then?#and it would have been interesting to spend more time with Jennifer recovering from the lengths she went to with Cyrus to get information#and the impact that had on her#as well as her relationship with dane which is clearly strained at this point#it’s all very open ended. a shame#*panelsandpages#freedom fighters
