* OneTrueLove: She discusses the topic briefly in the Vampire Diaries movie. She mentions how this is common in media aimed at teenagers because teenagers have a very limited and romanticized view of love, that you are only allowed to love one person your whole life, meet them in high school, and have never loved anyone before or after them even if they're dead. She mentions this is probably why Damien was not allowed to date anyone, especially not Bonnie, after Elena was written off the show, even if they'd serve the exact role as an EscapistCharacter for the audience to project on.

** She goes hard into this during her ''Film/DearEvanHansen'' video regarding the infamous [[RoleReprise reprisal]] of Creator/BenPlatt. She notes that Platt is a talented singer and ''stage'' actor, but none of his strengths or performance idiosyncrasies translate well into a grounded, realistic medium like film, the most prominent failing being [[PassFail how he simply can't pass for a teenager]] and [[UnintentionalUncannyValley looks unnatural as a result]]. Jenny also points out how the film and Platt's casting was effectively a case of {{nepotism}} as it was produced by his father, with a claim that had Ben not been cast, the movie wouldn't have been made, which Jenny sees as less of an excuse and more of just the whole project setting itself up for failure.
** It's also discussed during "The Church Play Cinematic Universe"; she occasionally comments on the odd choice of characters picked to represent Jesus Christ in each play, often solely on the basis that they're the main character (with Captain Jack Sparrow and Tony Stark being stand-outs).

*** She mentions the poor handling of Elena's transformation into a vampire, which should be the culmination of her survivor's guilt trait, feels like it ends up justifying it. Elena lost her parents in a car accident that resulted in her being the only one saved from a drowning car; when the situation repeats with Elena in a drowning car with someone else, she elects to save the other passenger, being brought back as a vampire. Jenny mentions she dislikes this because it feels like the story is justifying survivor's guilt, in that it was indeed a failure of Elena to not have saved her parents or died with them, and this chance of a do-over where she dies to save someone else is how it was supposed to go.
