After both Iron Fist and The Defenders disappointed, it's fair to say that Marvel's Netflix shows no longer feel like an event which fans are desperate to watch as quickly as possible. However, seeing as Jessica Jones remains one of the online streaming service's better efforts, it's no surprise that season two was highly anticipated and it's definitely left the majority of comic book fans talking this weekend.

Now that you've had the chance to delve into season two, we're taking a look at all the show's biggest Easter Eggs along with surprising references, cameos, nods to the source material, and much more.

To check out the list in its entirety, all you have to do is click on the button below. There are, of course, some spoilers here but nothing too major and this list is essential viewing regardless of whether you've watched Jessica Jones season two or are simply curious about what exactly you should expect from it. 


The Ringmaster



It's not clear if Spider-Man's presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe means we'll start seeing characters from his world pop up elsewhere but the first episode of Jessica Jones mentions a hypnotist named Maynard Tiboldt. That's the real name of The Ringmaster, the leader of a Circus of Crime that clashed with the wall-crawler during one of his earliest comic book adventures.
 

Hedy Wolfe



Trish is distraught to find herself on the cover of a tabloid magazine but look closely at the cover and you'll notice that it mentions Hedy Wolfe, a character who starred alongside Patsy Walker in her early comic book adventures. It doesn't look like she and Trish know each other but this was a cute nod.
 

Spider-Man



The wall-crawler is officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (for now, at least) and that's clearly opened the door for Jessica Jones to take some shots at the hero. For starters, we hear The Whizzer say that "With great power comes great mental illness," while Jess later refers to someone having a bad feeling in their testicles as "Scroty-Sense." So, not the nicest Easter Eggs referencing Spidey.
 

The Whizzer



In the first episode, Jessica is attempting to sort through her possible clients when she comes across one who calls himself the Whizzer. This guy is a bit of a slob but quite clearly based on the character with that name from the comic books. Decked out in the same blue and yellow colour scheme as the character, he's a huge departure from the Golden Age hero who was the father of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch until Magneto took on that honour. It's a random but fun nod to the source material!
 

The Whizzer's Pet Mongoose



Still after further proof that Jessica Jones' version of The Whizzer is based on the version from the comics? Well, he's shown as having a pet mongoose, a nod to the fact that the hero actually gained his super speed after undergoing a blood transfusion from a mongoose. If that sounds comical, it's probably because it is and no one has admitted that they came up with the speedster's origin!
 

The Raft



It's quickly become clear that these Marvel shows don't really link up that closely to what we see on the big screen but Jessica makes it clear that she's well aware of The Raft's existence in one episode, a secret prison for superpowered individuals which was first introduced in Captain America: Civil War
 

Hellcat



Trish finally gets superpowers during season two of Jessica Jones when she forces Karl Malus to grant her superpowers. While we'll have to wait and see if she actually suits up as Hellcat, her visit to a veterinarian to pick up feline distemper vaccine is a pretty obvious nod to the fact her comic book counterpart donned a super suit previously owned by The Cat to gain her amazing abilities.
 

David Mack



Brian Michael Bendis is obviously the writer most closely associated with Jessica Jones but artist David Mack has played a huge role in her world as well. So, when Jessica's new boyfriend Oscar paints a picture of her, it makes perfect sense that the gorgeous piece of artwork used is actually by Mack!
 

Captain America's Shield



The youngster who asks Jessica if she knows Captain America later reveals that his toy version of the hero has lost his shield so he's made him a new one out of a magnet. That could be a nod to what's currently going on in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but is more likely a reference to Cap wielding a magnetic shield both in Avengers: Age of Ultron and during his Silver Age comic book return. 
 

Stan Lee's Obligatory Cameo



Stan "The Man" Lee has always popped up in these Netflix TV shows (usually on the posters in police precincts) but Jessica Jones shakes things up by putting the comic book creator on the side of a bus advertising a personal injury firm. Could this be his new role in this corner of the MCU? 
 

Alisa Jones



It's fair to say that none of us expected Jessica's mother to essentially be the big bad of the season and Alisa Jones is quite a bit different to her comic book counterpart. However, we do get a nod to that when we learn that Jessica's middle name is Campbell. That was actually her original surname in the source material before she was adopted by the Joneses following her parents' death.
 

Foggy Nelson



Matt Murdock's old friend clearly has no intention of reteaming with ol' Hornhead in the near future because his law career is on the rise as we see when he enters Jeri Hogarth's office for a brief cameo.
 

Patsy Walker



Hellcat has undergone some major changes during the transition from page to screen but Jessica Jones's second season still finds some clever ways to reference her history. That wig and costume she dons to please a fan is a clear nod to when Marvel introduced Patsy Walker as its version of Archie, while we also learn that she was the star of a comic obviously based on her early adventures.
 

The Killers



Jessica's love of black and white movies is made apparent throughout the course of the season but her watching The Killers is perhaps most interesting. The 1946 release told the tale of a group of organised criminals in New York City and it features a number of similarities to both the worlds of Daredevil (it's about a boxer who refuses to throw a fight) and Jessica (the movie's working title was "The Matadors," the name of the hotel she's standing on in the first episode of season two). 
 

"Lizard People"



When one of Jessica's possible clients refers to "lizard people" replacing notable figures in society, the private eye quickly laughs off her claims but with Captain Marvel on the horizon, could this be a nod to the Skrulls? The more likely possibility is that this was actually referencing the lizard people most frequently associated with the Illuminati, a sure fire sign that this woman was a complete nut.
 

Turk Returns



Turk has become a staple of these Marvel TV shows so it should come as no surprise when he pops up here to sell Jeri Hogarth a gun. It makes a nice change to see him not getting his butt kicked. 
 

The Rand Corporation



We quickly learn that Jeri Hogarth has managed to save her job by securing the business of Rand-Meachum Inc. and this has to be a reference to her comic book counterpart. He was a man but served as the company's lawyer and so it's appropriate that this version heads down the same route. 
 

Hellcat's Nine Lives



The comic book version of Hellcat gained actual superpowers after her mother sold her daughter's soul to the devil. Jessica Jones has now also taken things down the supernatural route (well, sort of) by bringing her back from the dead and having a nurse point out that she's surely used up two of her nine lives. It's pretty clear what that's referring to and Trish's journey to becoming Hellcat has begun!

Wasn't even anywhere near as good as season 1 in my opinion but its still fun to see Jessica do her thing.

Best episode was when Killgrave came back. Even when he's dead he's still the best MCU villain.

HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/12/2018, 7:47 AM
@IronMandarin - I totally agree. The only episode I actually enjoyed this season, the only one that was anywhere close to 'good' or the greatness of season 1.

That episode could have belonged in season 1, and it really revealed one of the big problems with this season. I was actually surprised that we only got Kilgrave for a single episode. That was kind of a big mistake. He should have had more of a presence in the season, since Jessica was very conflicted for more than a single episode. And I was actually hoping that he was going to appear in the closing minutes of the final episode, revealing that he somehow survived. What a mistake to kill him off.

@HeavyMetal4Life - So surprising to read this. I loved Kilgrave in season 1. But when he popped up here, I was hoping it was just for 1 episode and they didn't drag it out. It was for 1.5 episodes, which I was relieved to see. Cant take Jessica talking to herself for too long for it to be believable. I'd say this was the weakest episode to me. THe strongest one was episode 7, where they did the flashbacks
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/12/2018, 7:54 AM
@Vigor - haha, episode 7 was the worst episode in my opinion. The whole nightclub plot was dumb beyond belief. The only thing I liked out of that episode was it showed Jessica used to be likeable before spoilerish events happened. But hey, we will agree to disagree!
Vigor
Vigor - 3/12/2018, 7:56 AM
@HeavyMetal4Life - I think it's amusing that we like/detest opposite episodes. Goes to show how perspective and opinions can really differ!
IronMandarin
IronMandarin - 3/12/2018, 7:58 AM
@HeavyMetal4Life - Yeah it's odd that they only included him for one episode when they could have had him in Jessica's head for half a season. Was expecting him to be a residual effect of his mind control in the last season or maybe a drug (ala Arkham Knight), but Jessica basically was able to get rid of him pretty easily.

But man he was just as sadistic as I remember him from season 1.

HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/12/2018, 8:00 AM
@Vigor - haha, its all good. And yeah, very interesting. If people like you are enjoying these episodes, then hey I'm glad you are. But this was not the season for me, and I loved the first season [for the most part].
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/12/2018, 8:01 AM
@IronMandarin - yeah it was weird because the trailers made it seem like he would have more of a presence.

He was sadistic and hilarious, really loved his scenes. He was just having so much fun.
MrDandy
MrDandy - 3/12/2018, 8:24 AM
@IronMandarin - His episode was the best one of the season.

@HeavyMetal4Life - I told you, dude. Episode 7 was pure trash.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/12/2018, 9:00 AM
@Toecutter - you were right. "I m Cray Cray" or whatever that bet I d dumb song and scene was. Not really sure how Trish on her knees about to give a guy a blowjob is empowering, but alas I digress...
Toecutter
Toecutter - 3/12/2018, 9:01 AM
@IronMandarin - The Kilgrave episode was the only time I gave a shit about what was going on.
Toecutter
Toecutter - 3/12/2018, 9:21 AM
@HeavyMetal4Life - The "Cray Cray" scenes were so cringe-worthy.
HeavyMetal4Life

@Toecutter - so cringe worthy.

Seriously, who comes up with this stuff? And then who says, hey this will be good on screen??

Stop the Jessica Jones 2 wagon! At least for a couple of days...? I'm starting it today but everyone is talking about it already.

Doomsday8888 - 3/12/2018, 7:41 AM
Now i know why nobody is talking about this season...

Finally f*cking managed to finish JJ S2.
Got only one thing to say:
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/12/2018, 7:43 AM
@Doomsday8888 - Totally agree. My thoughts on this season:

Doomsday8888
Doomsday8888 - 3/12/2018, 7:48 AM
@HeavyMetal4Life
Kinda want to go back and reevaluate IF tbh...
I don't even know where to begin... :/
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/12/2018, 8:04 AM
@Doomsday8888 - Haha, probably seem like a masterpiece compared to this season of JJ. I actually enjoyed Iron Fist. I mean, it had a lot of problems and it had aspects that I really hated. But it kept me hooked for some reason and I enjoyed other aspects of it. I actually found it more enjoyable than LC s1, but that's just me, lol.
Doomsday8888
Doomsday8888 - 3/12/2018, 8:17 AM
@HeavyMetal4Life
I thought it was better than the second half of LC, and that people were really harsh with their reviews, it wasn't terrible.
IF wasn't really entertaining for me, but JJ S2? Oh boy...
It was hard, man...really hard.
I watched the CW shows in between, but my biggest mistake was to watch AoS' 100th ep, and then pick up JJ right after that...
I was having fun, you know...


HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 3/12/2018, 8:22 AM
@Doomsday8888 - haha lmfao. Yeah I watched SHIELD 100th episode in between the JJ shitfest. Probably not smart either. [Also, I love Hitman's Bodyguard, so much fun. Super like for those gifs!]

I actually felt the opposite way with LC, I wasn't very impressed with Cottonmouth. And yeah, IF wasn't terrible and the reviews were extremely exaggerated. It had issues and its pretty obvious what they were. But even being so flawed it had more enjoyable aspects than JJ s2.
