Okay, look, this is not a conversation.
(Just kidding)
For a character who hangs out with the literal protagonist, Jay is really overshadowed and doesn't get a lot of attention.
The first movie is mainly about Mal finding her place as a VK among AKs. We get a bit of Evie vibes from her love life (you suck, Chad.) but overall, it's about the girls. Carlos and Jay are kind of just there to act as support.
The second movie is really all about Carlos and Uma, but this is the movie where we get the most Jay vibes with him finding loopholes in rules (which, as I'm basically an IRL VK, I love doing). Even so, it's not a big show. Honestly, Jane played just as much of a role as he did.
We have his supposed "relationship" with Lonnie, but since Dianne didn't show in the third movie, they couldn't keep Jonnie going like they did with Jarlos. Jay didn't really have a huge gig here either. This movie's all about Audrey. In additon, we get some of Mal's anger. We get some of Evie's desperation. We get some of Carlos's anxiety. What do we get from Jay?
Thank you for taking some time to read this and feel free to comment your own thoughts on Jay.
