Line 3:
** [[Memetic Mutation|Maybe they should try Magic Missile.]]
** The Darkness has yet to be defeated. If it hasn't passed on to a successor yet, it will do everything it can to bring the current holder back to life. The Angelus believes there has to be a limit to this power, and tries to kill its host whenever it can.
* In the game, the police ambush Jackie at a church where he has agreed to meet [[The Dragon|Eddie Shrote]]. They cut the lights before piling in wearing full SWAT gear. Of course Jackie's powers being fuelled by darkness, they get slaughtered. Until halfway through the fight, where Eddie suddenly calls out "hit the floodlights, he can't do that shit in the light!". So if Eddie knew Jackie's weakness, why'd he cut the lights in the first place? Yes, he might have only figured it out during the fight by watching how Jackie either avoided it, or shot out all light sources. But during the church fight, all the lights have already been cut, so there's no light for Jackie to avoid. Eddie was more likely to have guessed Jackie's weakness during the other few times he see's Jackie in action (such as when Jackie chased him through his own police station, a set-piece where, if the player is smart, he'll shoot out every light he comes across). So what, did Eddie just think it'd be funny to feed some of his few remaining SWAT personnel (Jackie having slaughtered more than half the force at this point) to the [[Eldritch Abomination]] empowered [[Hitman Withwith a Heart]]?
** Schrote sent the few remaining "good cops" in first?
*** Combined with the above, he was testing a theory? I'm going to assume that the player, at that point, cut loose with every power they had, and an observer would quickly see that Jackie wasn't just destroying lights for effect, he was actually weakened by the light. Personally, I would switch off Darkness Mode whenever surrounded by too many light sources to avoid draining too much power, it's not too much of a stretch to assume canon!Jackie does the same thing.
Line 11:
** Yes that has been brought up when Jackie was dating one [[Girl of the Week]].
** Also at one point the Darkness suggests to him that he should totally go for an orgy-[[Kick the Dog|he could always rip their wombs out afterwards.]]
** In one story arc there was a [[Running Gag]] where [[Depraved Homosexual|Wenders]] (a former minion of Sonatine's who is aware of Jackie's predicament) keeps offering to [[Is That What TheyreThey're Calling It Now?|"serve" him]] by suggesting that [[Gay Option|there's one sex act that has no chance of pregnancy...]]
