* GoGoEnslavement: Jenny is trapped and chained in The Darkness’s realm. Jenny is also barely wearing anything but some kind of torn gown as she would be naked otherwise.


Added DiffLines:

* VaporWear: Poor Jenny, the only thing keeping her from being completely naked in hell is a very torn gown.

Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Darkness really thought it was a good idea to imprison Jenny in its realm [[spoiler: where it also happens to have The Angelus imprisoned.]] You know, [[spoiler: it’s own mortal enemy that also happens to require a female host?]] Didn’t quite think about that, did it.


Added DiffLines:

* NotMeThisTime: Each time Jenny appears, The Darkness denies any involvement of Jenny’s appearances. Only saying “It deceives you!” [[spoiler: Which hints that the Angelus is involved.]]

* SequelEscalation: The first game is primarily a mob revenge story, where the protagonist just happens to have supernatural powers. The Darkness is very much an OutsideContextProblem for the mobsters you spend the game killing; only a single antagonist, Captain Shrote, seems to recognize that Jackie is receiving supernatural assistance and takes measures to counteract it. The sequel has Jackie pitted against the Brotherhood, a wealthy, heavily armed, magic-wielding cult army that fully knows what the Darkness is and is ''much'' better prepared to battle and capture its host. Jackie, in turn, is now the head of his mafia family and has a decent number of goons of his own.

* TransformationDiscretionShot: Most transformations in the game take place on screen and in full detail. However, during Jackie's visit to [[NightmareOfNormality the Darkness's Asylum]], the true identity of the mysterious janitor is revealed in a cut: after escorting Jackie into the supply closet, he orders him to shut the door behind them, and when Jackie turns back to face him, the Janitor has become the Darkling.

* OffModel: Characters who've been grabbed turn into 2D decals in the player's view, instead of remaining actual 3D models in the environment, meaning that they are the closest thing to the player's view no matter how close anything else is. When other baddies get close enough to dominate the player's view, this contrast has the morbidly hilarious effect of making it look like the player's current character is tormenting a tiny leprechaun or a doll.

* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Jackie describes having the Darkness as feelimg like your the star of your own action film, killing all the bad guys and looking good while doing it. That is, until you look around and realize everyone else is terrified, because your not an action star, your actually the monster in a horror movie.
