>>96558996jackie doesnt get much in bon bon, existing mostly to shadow marco
while janna also shadows star in girls day out, she is shown with her own goal, getting the remote, and puts the plot into motion
so janna has more agency within her ep than jackie did, who was mostly along for marcos ride
furthermore, we get to see a different side of janna, that she actually has friends in detention that she, in her own weird way, cares for and tries to lead, and this makes a small but pretty good contrast to the usual troll that she is
while jackie shows some extra traits, but its mostly stuff we already knew, that she is chill and goes with the flow
and janna is allowed to contribute to the plot, even when the focus isnt romance, jackie never does anything except when the crush is involved in the episode
and i am extra hard on jackie precisely because she is the love interest, janna is "best friend" and this character gets off the hook easier, while a love interest can make or break a show, and we expect them to be very well developed or else the romance angle falls flat
if star was a dude or didnt exist, we would love jackie, after all roxanne gets even less and everyone loves her
but jackie ends up being something of a satellite, better than a 2-D love interest, but when matched against star, the one everyone actually wants, she just fails to measure up in any department
indeed jackie gets of very lightly in the "bash the designated love interest" department, in that she has fans at all
people have always absolutely despised the designated love interest of most shows
