Who do you think Jane will end up with?
Wikipedia says that Jester's actions "in a late episode indicate a romantic attraction to Jane."
It seems like Gunther likes Jane and doesn't know it yet though.
Who do you think jane will choose?
I have a feeling they'll never really flesh out any sort of romantic storylines.
But I am a shipper at heart, and I think if they do, Gunther would make for a more interesting story, IMHO.
Word.
I said basically the same thing in a simlar thread over at TV.com. It'll never really happen, but Gunther would certainly make things interesting (plus I love him. :P)
Besides, it's very possible that Gunther and Jane will go into battle together one day, and Jester will never be able to relate to that.
Has anyone actually read the book this show is based on? I have it.
Jane & Jester are meant to be.
Personally I prefer Jester =)
shareI pearsonally think if she ever gets in a realationship with someone it will be jester because they are good friends. Plus Jane has made it clear that she loths Gunther.
shareJane is a basically honest and straightforward person. I don't think she could ever stand someone as dishonest and manipulative as Gunther. Of course, they are still children; they have a few years to go before any romantic interest would become serious, and possibly Gunther will improve as he gets older. But I cannot imagine Jane EVER wanting to be tied to a cheat like Gunther!

I think that if anything impedes a possible future between Jane and Gunther would be Magnus, Gunther's father. He would not want them together. Gunther is under a lot of pressure by his pushy father. Even though Gunther is manipulative and somewhat jealous of Jane, I believe he truly wishes to become a noble knight(if his father doesn't destroy things for him). There is some decency in him.
I think a future relationship between Jane and Gunther is still possible, on the other hand, Jester knows Jane well and their personalities mesh well. Jester is also sensible and extremely intelligent so no one should underestimate him just because he is the King's entertainer. He is carrying a heavy torch for Jane. The only thing standing between Gunther and Jane or Jane and Jester is her wish to become a knight. She may not wind up with either because I don't think a romance will survive with Jane joining the knighthood. She may be alone in her adult life or just not in a committed relationship.
It would be interesting to see somewhere down the line if this store were to continue.

I'll quote whatever I feel like quoting, GOSH!!
Unfortunately the only book I could access at my library was Jane and the Magician.
Can you tell me if Gunther was in it? Or Pepper, Rake, Smithy etc? I'm just curious. :)
Well, of course the books (there are three) are obviously biased towards Jester/Jane - there isn't a Gunther character! LOL. (To answer your question: the only characters from the cartoon that are in the original book are the King, Jester & of course Dragon (& her parents). There is a prince, but he's not given a name (& he's a redhead). There are MANY more knights/people & a magician who appears in 2/3 books.)
It's DEFINITELY canon that Jester likes Jane. It's in the books (a quote from the first book "Jane and the Dragon": Jester gives Jane his suit of armor (He dreamed of becoming a knight, but wasn't brave enough) Jane: "But what about your dream?" Jester: "...You dream it for me." & Then at the end, the King throws a party for Jane for saving his son & she chooses Jester to dance with). And from the first episode, it's obvious that Jester likes Jane.
But, I'm always for the dynamic couples and Gunther shows true growth in his personality. In "mismatched", Gunther was HAPPY Jane liked him (until the end when, IMO, Ivon opened Gunther's mind to doubts) & went out of his way (on his own accord - before Dragon pushed him) to be extra nice. There are other less obvious hints (i.e. could be reading too much into it) that Gunther is starting to "LIKE like" Jane.
However, I agree with whomever said Jane seems too busy. Even IF she feels anything for Jester/Gunther, she won't allow it - she refuses to wear a dress because she wants to be taken seriously as a knight & not seen as a "helpless woman". Becoming romantically involved would do the same thing as wearing a dress (remember that this doesn't take place in modern times, so I doubt 'courting' is on equal terms).
I see Jester in the 'best friend' role - she'll tell him she's afraid of the dark because she doesn't feel like she has to prove herself to him. For example: how many girls burp in front of the guy they WANT to date? (not are already dating) Now, how many girls burp in front of their friends? Same thing as guys trying not to admit they're utter pigs until after they start dating a girl. But, if they don't care, they've no need to impress. Jane & Gunther are rivals, so of course they aim to please, but that leaves the small gap of "just friends" and "potentially more".
Short story long - I feel the same way as I STILL do about Avatar: Last Airbender: Aang/Katara and Jane/Jester are the canon couples, but Zuko/Katara and Jane/Gunther are the more realistic (ie: I could see them as a real life couple) & dynamic pairing. They have something to bring to the table. Sorry, but the saying, "Nice guys finish last" is said for a reason. Aang & Jester are the pity dates. Zuko & Gunther is where the real, balanced relationship lies.
But, of course Dragon won't let anyone have more time with Jane than he gets, so I doubt she'd have time to date, what with the training & then Dragon.
If I said you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?
I think it was the writers who answered a question of this nature. They said the characters were still too young to really become romantically involved, but there are certain attractions...
They confirmed that Jester is attracted to Jane, but Jane will never see Jester as anything more than a good friend. They also said Jane is much too focused on becoming a knight to pursue a romantic relationship.
Personally, I vote for Gunther. The couple's interactions lend themselves to the classic love-hate and battle of the sexes relationship.

Just 30 mins ago, I saw the episode Mismatched and I'd say gunther maybe. It just seems like a pretty obvious couple, even if I hate it, not that I do.
Oh, and I don't really go for Jester/Jane, he's too ......queer???
