Vi was also a child, a teen who literally just lost her second family. She needed to have space from Powder, she deserved time to process everything but Powder was just a naive kid who probably had fantasies of proving to everyone she could save the day, and the whole thing just hurts.
@@BitterCyder Because she’s a child and because of her naivety, she never realized the consequences of what would’ve happened thought. She thought she could’ve saved her family. Both Vi and Powder are in the wrong and in the right. That’s why it’s extra fucking depressing
“Why did you leave me?!” At her sister leaving her home. “She left me.” At her sister, whom she thought abandoned her. Honestly sucks that Powder’s abandonment issues were so severe to the point that she couldn’t handle being alone at all, interpreting Vi wanting Powder home as leaving her. The second time with Vi wanting space is a little more understandable for Powder to see it as abandonment though. This show is like the biggest tragedy ever
I thought they were just red from her crying so much, but it served as foreshadowing for when she is revived with shimmer and her eyes actually do turn pink.
This shit had my jaw on the floor Whoever voiced younger Jinx has one of the best performances I've heard in animation my god it's so real it's horrifying bravo
Her name is Mia Sinclair Jenness and she’s an amazing young actress. Apparently she recorded this scene when she was 9 years old and she only needed 2 takes to absolutely nail it.
Man... The way Silco looks at Vander's lifeless body is so sad. You can tell he's really mourning the loss of his old friend and never wanted it to come to this. Silco is such a great character. One of those characters you love and hate at the same time.
Well Silco did have begrudge respect for him but didn't understand why he was so passive unlike younger Vander who tried to fight the topside it was only until Jayce told Silco to hand jinx over to the enforcers that Silco realized he has to protect his kid and let go of his dream of zhuan being independent.
@@maraneza-5370 exactly, people always though silco was manipulative during the show but in reality, he believed what he was saying. As far as he knew, Vi really did abandon powder just like how he felt vander abandoned him. His projection of betrayed feelings on powder is why he came to love her as a father
I was honestly shocked that Silco hugged her back and essentially adopted her. You’d never expect that these two people would have so much similar pain and trauma and therefore be able to understand each other so well. I love how layered the characters are in this show.
Apparently after Powder's (child) voice actress recorded this scene, they had to sit Silco's VA aside and tell him he better not mess this scene up. Hell of a debut for a voice actress.
The thing is, you can't really blame jinx or Vi for what happened. Powder was just a little girl fixated on proving that she wasn't the failure that everyone thought she was. You also can't blame her for trying to save her loved ones. But also, Vi just witnessed 3 of her loved ones die, and learned that Powder did this. Vi being furious at her sister is very understandable. Vi was angry, rightfully so, and people do and say things in anger they don't mean. Marcus and Silco could not have shown up at a worse time. So unfortunate.
@@DzinkyDzink honestly, you can blame Jinx. I get she was a kid, but recklessly using bombs that she knew the power of, and then using 3 of them in excess is just so, well, reckless. She was trying to prove something more than she was trying to help.
The way Powder reels back and blocks when Vi stands up, fully expecting her to hit her again, makes me wonder how many times Powder has gotten a beating like that before.
@@mxrceline__solo Those scenes are not canonical. They were just done to show a spoiler free version of the show. The fact that Powder didn't flinch/dodge proves that she wasn't expecting the hit. Vi never hit her before this moment which is why it was so traumatic.
This clip doesn't show it, but the way they zoom in on the faces of Silco's henchmen was also pretty interesting. It's kind of a trope that on the bad guys' side, there's always someone who is just pure evil, whether it be the boss or the boss's subordinates. They saw Powder hug Silco so tight, and their hearts actually seemed to melt for her. Silco and his gang are indeed terrorists, but they're also a band of brothers and sisters who value Zaunite lives, like Powder's.
The facial expressions are animated so expertly. The look on Powder's face when she sees vander's body is so heartbreaking and real. It captures the fear, shock and disbelief of learning what she just did.
The rage I felt when Marcus grabbed Vi is indescribable. If only he’d been a second late. So many “what ifs” in this show. Edit: Yes, I know they both would have been killed by Silco. I’m just talking about how the scene made me feel in the moment.
@@reianvase6683 Don’t be an asshole. I said that EXACT same thing in response to someone else, my comment is right above yours…Use your eyes before you spout nonsense.
@@maqaeda You think I didn't understand what you said? You want Marcus to not capture Violet right? You want her to be caught alongside Powder which will results to the death of both of them. Silco wouldn't see the abandoned child that we saw in the show if Vi came back.
Everyone's saying that Vi is a bad sister for leaving Powder. Vi is still a child herself. She lost everything, and nearly lost her little sister too. Yes, she hit Powder, but when she realised what she'd just done, she removed herself before she could do anything else. The most tragic thing, is that Powder's desperate need to prove that she can be of help, is what got Mylo and Clagger killed; they were inches away from getting out of there when the bombs went off - Vi was terrified that Powder was dead too, and when she learned that her little sister had disobeyed her, and followed her, of course she got angry. Both Vi and Powder lost everything at a young age, and that isn't something anyone can process with a clear mind right away. Powder, unfortunately, became Jinx.
Slapped her so hard. She dropped her bunny... and kept it all these years along with the flare. Thinking, is she still mad at me? Will she come back for me? Could she ever forgive me? Hella sad...
A bit of in game fact. The game is well after these events. Fiddlesticks is a demon who taunts his enemies with their absolute worst traumas, and speaks them aloud. This scene explains why his interaction with Jinx is “Jinx!! It’s all your fault!! It’s all your fault!!!”
Meanwhile Sevika is just like “Umm, sir? My arm just got blown off and I am currently bleeding out. I know this is a notable moment but for the love of god please take me to the doctor”
Vi isn't doing the "right" thing though in this scene. That's hardly what any person in her position would do. It's not good that she hit Powder, but Vi grew up in an environment where she had to be strong and punch her way through everything. I know someone said or wrote this somewhere but I don't remember where or who. Anyway, Vi's first instinct in moments like this is punching and I'm very sure she wouldn't have done this if she was in her right mind. But she literally just watched some really messed up things. It took her just a minute to realize what she did and said to Powder and I think that's probably why she left. I think it would've been good for her to walk away for a minute because that's usually a good idea when you're too angry to think clearly. Problem is...it would've been a good idea if it wasn't Powder specifically who she was walking away from. I've seen it mentioned before that Powder is pretty heavily dependant on Vi or has a strong fear of abandonment because of losing her parents. So she immediately took Vi stepping away as Vi leaving her for good. It would've been better for Vi to say "I'll be right back" or something like that. But that's an afterthought and I'm pretty sure most people have moments where they go "Why didn't I say that back then?" I fully believe Vi would've come back if it wasn't for Marcus showing up. Even if Silco hadn't shown up, she wouldn't have been able to abandon Powder. Not that Silco is pure evil or Vi is pure good. This show's characters are some of the most human characters I've seen in a long time, which also means morality is a little more difficult. Anyway, end of my rant. I literally just wanted to type this out.
I understand the rant, I'm still processing this scene. Even though Vi never intended to leave Powder, of course Powder would feel abandoned. Maybe if Vi had been older, she would have realised how important just saying "I'll be right back" would be in that moment. But Vi was still a child. They both were
100% agree. I don’t think Vi was aware of just how severe Powder’s abandonment issues are. I think that’s why she never expected to return to her sister and see her become a killer working for the man who ruined their lives. She never saw Powder as becoming Jinx out of desperation for acceptance because she simply didn’t know how severe it had been - and the little time they had when they reunited was so sparse that Vi wouldn’t have been able to process it anyways. I feel for Vi so much. It’s like her entire sense of self revolves around protecting her little sister and now her sister is practically a “monster” of sorts (of course this is simplifying the nuance of Jinx) and is blamed for it. And it’s clear she has all these burdens ever since Vander told her that whatever happens is on her. I really hope that Arcane steers a little from lore so these sisters could reconcile somehow. The whole thing is honestly a big, painful misunderstanding.
That’s where the big misunderstanding happens Silco think Vi truly left powder and decided to adopt her From Powder perspective Vi didn’t comeback when silco arrived so she also believed Vi completely left her behind Vi who was just about to comeback gets kidnapped midway, and Vi’s plan is rather simple She walked away to sit down,take a rest to ease her injuries after scolding powder,Then after a few minutes comeback to powder,comfort her,take her home She seem that she didn’t think about silco would find powder
Vi didnt walk away because of her injuries... she needed time alone to process what just happened and also didn't want to emotionally break down in front of her younger sister who sees her as an unbreakable rock
Ugh I have a hard time giving words to how amazingly well everything in arcane is done. The emotional dispair feels so tragic and real it makes you believe everyone involved in the animation and voiceacting has felt the pain depicted before. This is truly what feelings of disbelief and abandonment and deep raw emotions look like. It's like a knife torn through my heart but so beautifully done. Arcane required such exquisite skills but also empathy for the characters with how well it was made.
You can see Viwasnt actually leaving powder, when she saw Silco approach her she panicked and tried to go save her, unfortunately it was too late. This show is amazing man
A lot of people really don't realize that almost every character seen in this show isn't good or bad. They are all morally grey characters, who sometimes do bad things or good things, hurt or get hurt, and ultimately are just people.
I can hardly blame Vi for how she acted. Hitting Powder was undoubtedly wrong no matter the situation, but almost her entire family died practically right in front of her. Vander, Milo, Benzo, and Claggor were pretty important parts of her life and they were gone just like that. Anyone else would be absolutely destroyed emotionally, almost crippled with the weight of everything that had happened. Rage, sadness, helplessness; all of those and more. She only left so that she could try to process everything, to calm down. I’ve seen a few people acting like there’s really no defense for Vi, but can anybody really say that they wouldn’t be the same after being put through so much in just about 15 minutes or less?
hitting powder was wrong yes but she just watched her second family die, in front of her eyes. or more correctly get killed by her sister, she wasn’t thinking straight the moment she slapped powder, she ALSO suffered from trauma which most people fail to see and only acknowledge powder/jinx’s trauma. She wasn’t gonna abandon powder, she needed a moment alone after all that horrifying shit she just saw ,which lose her family, she was going to go back for powder if it wasn’t for marcus
Maybe...but doesn't change that even her actions played a role in Powder becoming Jinx, and whatever exist now between them is likely gone. It doesn't matter if it's just to get space, even the smallest actions have the biggest impact later on regardless of what. She played a role in creating Jinx although unknowingly at the time, even if she was right to get space from her sister but done so at a terrible time.
@leon4000 Again, I’m not excusing what she did. I’m saying that during such an emotional moment, there were no good decisions. Vander and everyone else were part of her and Powder’s family for years and it was all torn apart like confetti right in front of her. She was in no state of mind to be calm around Powder at that moment, not after hearing that she was the one who caused the explosion. Besides, even if she had stayed or if she had tried to bring Powder with her arm broken like that, Silco could’ve seen them both and probably would’ve killed them before they could get away.
@@Pathfinder-jk7gh Maybe, maybe not. But right now, Vi now has an out-of-control sister to deal with. Perhaps she should have never allowed herself to be separated from her sister and also not let her guard down while emotionally traumatized. By the time she came back to see Powder, she was already mentally unstable.
its not only Vi that Marcus saved it is also Powder, if he didnt get Vi, Silco will kill both of them and Jinx would have not exist thus saving all the lives that Jinx killed
Another idiot. If VI goes back for Powder, Powder will have hope again, that means they both get killed by SIlco here. The only reason Silco took Powder in is because of the reminder of the despair she's going through. Now, if VI goes back for her, you think SIlco will spare them both? I don't think so. What changed SIlco's mind is the scene of an abandoned child. It won't be the same if Vi come back for powder.
@@reianvase6683 so you think that a tired and beaten vi and powder could kill silco when he had his people with him? They would’ve both been killed. The only reason silco didn’t kill powder was because she was abandoned.
The saddest part is, I can't even blame either of them. Growing up in Zaun may have given them some level of experience, but in the end, they're still just kids thrown in a horrible situation. Currently trying to glue my heart back together.
Yesterday, what I see in that episode is holy god it's amazing because it puts a kind of sad moment which counts as melancholy in it when Vi (or Violet) leaves Powder and it creates the best moment I've ever seen in my entire life.
I feel like most of the chat is forgetting that Vi has extreme uncontrollable anger issues. Also, if your gonna use Powder's/Jinx's trauma, then why not Vi's? So many people say how Powder still had to live with the trauma of her parents dying, but she was literally about 2-3 and she didn't understand what was going on around her. The only reason she was crying was because Vi was also crying, so she sensed that something bad happened. For the parents' death, Vi has more trauma. People are also forgetting the actual meaning of trauma and traumatic moments. Trauma is more-so how the character/human REACTS to what's going on around them, and not what specifically happened. Some people also find that if Silco found both siblings, he would kill them, but that's not true. While Vi was fighting in the 3rd episode, he actually sort of smirked at her. He was also surprised at her skills, which leads me to think that he would've actually killed Powder and taken Vi, or he would've taken both. More evidence is when Vi was dying and Cait saved her with the shimmer, right after when Vi found Silco teasing the shimmer-addicts with the drug. Silco says, "I've regretted that we've never had the opportunity to speak," and "Candidly, I thought you were the prize of your secondhand family." Silco also asked Powder where her sister was when Powder was crying on the floor on the 3rd episode. This basically is stating that he originally didn't want Powder, and wanted Vi for his own instead. Also Silco didn't even know what really happened when Vander died. He assumed that Powder ran away. He said, "You don't know your limits, girl. It's what got Vander killed. What drove your sister away. And it's why I'm here right now." Silco always admired Vi's strength from the beginning. Going back to the topic of Vi and Powder, no, Vi did not punch Powder. She slapped her. The official script stated that she slapped her. Sorry to the people that hate Vi for slapping her sister, but as I brought up earlier, you have to understand that she has severe anger issues and felt so angry at the moment, she didn't know how to even express it. Did you really expect her to go up to Powder and be like, "Oh hey, buddy! Great job!!! Your monkey bomb finally worked! It's okay that you accidentally murdered our whole family. Now c'mon let's have a tea party with our family's dead bodies!-😍" Like seriously? As someone with actual anger issues, I'm really proud of Vi being able to slap Powder only once and walking away after. I'm also pretty sure that Vi almost broke her arm. She most likely dislocated it, though. It's not Vi's fault that she got angry. Any other person would, honestly. I'm not hating on Powder OR Jinx, but you have to understand both sides of the story. Powder/Jinx didn't even know the full story and assumed that Vi left her and didn't want her anymore. She was very focused on screaming after Vi, that she didn't think of a possibility, which is highly expected of a young child. People are using the excuse that Vi was a child also, which is true, but there are better excuses than that. I stated some above. Powder felt underestimated and stuff and wanted to prove herself. She screwed the hell up. You have to accept that Powder messed up even if you think she did great. Vi messed up too. She looked at the palm of her hand, then her knuckles, realizing her anger and how she was expressing it. I just wanna add that when Cait and Vi were laying in bed together, Vi mentioned that a REAL monster came and she ran away. People assume that she spoke of Silco in the moment, although, would it really make sense? She stated that she ran away AFTER the monster came. She was actually talking about herself. When she looked at the blood on her hand, and her knuckles, that's when she left for a breath. It'd make sense that she would be talking about herself. Then a real monster showed up, saying that her anger took over, and I just ran away, she ran away from the anger and left to calm herself down. If you actually took the patience to like read this entire thing I wrote, you deserve a freaking medal-
She never left powder, only wanted a lil time for herself, but that marcus ruin it all. Sure silco could harm her, but at least some stupid ppl wont keep blaming vi and praising silco at the end eeerr
@@keith9864 a tragic and heartfelt tale of a villain being born (jinx) and how it came to be. Her sister and Silco both loved her, but Silco also killed her family and she never quite grasped that because she blamed herself for her family's deaths.
This scene is agonizing. IMO there's no "right" and "wrong" here, no Team Powder or Team Vi, just two traumatized kids pushed beyond their endurance. That's what makes this show so great.
Is it bad that even though I get that Vi is hurting and needs to process all this, I was mad at Vi for punching Powder, and I cried for Powder when Vi walked away from her? I'm around Vi's age, but I feel like I'm understanding this scene the way Powder does. Like, I get that walking away made sense. She didn't want to hurt Powder any worse and needed some time, which was a more mature decision than hitting her again (and Powder seemed to expect another hit). I just feel like if Vi hadn't seen Powder in danger, she wouldn't have even tried to go back for her, at least not for several days. Powder, while she did cause a lot of this even though she was trying to help, also lost everyone except one person in this situation. Then said person hits her, throws the words she'd been trying to prove wrong in her face, and walks away from her even though she's begging not to be left alone. Of course she thinks she's being abandoned. Of course she clings to the only person who seemed to care enough about her to be near her anymore, even if she had no idea who he was. Of course she says Vi's not her sister anymore - I wouldn't be surprised if she thought Vi made that decision for her. Is this the wrong way to look at the scene? Do I feel bad for the wrong person?
They’re both victims here with completely understandable reactions. Powder is heavily BPD coded so her switching up against Vi and denouncing her as her sister seems to be splitting. VI’s anger is completely understandable as Powder’s one mistake caused everyone to die when they nearly escaped… The only wrong one here is Silco for causing them to be in this situation. Him taking her in worsened her life. If Ekko had found her instead, Powder would’ve became extremely different from how she did with Silco.
This scene is so sad. And probably the best scene in the entire season. The girl playing powder gave it her fucking all right here. Absolute perfection.
People can say Vi doesn't abandon Powder and Marcus took her, but she does. She hits her, calls her everything she wasn't suppose to say, then leave her trying not to go down the same cycle Vender and Silco went down. Powder doesn't become Jinx because of Silco, he just enabled it to happen because he saw a broken girl who lost her only family. This is why Vi has to redeem herself and save her sister from her own madness. Agree or disagree, but blaming Marcus for saving Vi isn't the reason Powder become Jinx.
Honestly the fact that Vi only slapped Powder, considering she killed their second family, is surprising enough. Like, so many people hate Vi for slapping her but it’s completely understandable. Don’t see why it causes people to hate Vi because her sister, who she told to stay home, killed everyone she loved just to prove that she was worthy.
When Vi punched Powder, I was ready to throw hands. They are both kids but Powder didn’t know what she was doing. Vi shouldn’t have left her or punched her in the face, but Powder should’ve listened to Vi and should’ve been under supervision.
🎵I can hear the sound of a heartbeat before it goes out Won't ever leave my memory of bloodshed all around And I can see a tear on my father's face before it falls out Oh, my enemy, how could I have ever let you down? Oh… When all these trees saw us grow Cut our teeth and make our bones right here We'd play with shields made of stone Share our dreams and sit our thrones Be still, 'cause I see smoke up ahead and I got steel in my hands We will return like warriors, I swear, that we'll find glory up ahead Tell me: Where is my home? I don't recognize the faces anymore, no Where is my friend? The one I've known since I was only just a kid I think it's time to say goodbye Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, woah🎶
While Powder clearly is shaken and traumatized for the deaths she inadvertently caused, I noticed she never once apologizes/says she's sorry for what her actions caused. She insists she only wanted to help and pleads with her sister, as well as demands "why did you leave me?!", but never says "I'm sorry" during any of it. And on one side, I get and understand her issues with being alone on account of losing her birth parents and inferiority issues. But Powder also deliberately disobeyed her sister's instruction to stay out of the fight, out of danger, and her recklessness killed the sisters' entire second family. And then never apologizes to Vi for it. Yes, it was an accident. Yes, Powder is a kid. But Powder worryingly takes little to no accountability for her actions and how they affect others. To not instill that in a young kid sets up an individual to take on a "never my fault' personality into adulthood. Something that seems to be well set into motion as Powder goes on to become Jinx throughout the rest of the season. And I think the unapologetic aspect is in part why Vi loses control the way she did in this scene on top of her grief losing their second family. They're dead, they're all dead, and the one responsible for why they're dead is more concerned that the bomb didn't do what it was supposed to in the end and the fact that Vi told her to stay behind and left her alone at the house. Not the fact their second family is dead. Vi has been frustrated with Powder's mess ups prior and has tried to still be patient and understanding for those, while also trying to address/be mindful of Powder's issues in the mix. She couldn't do that here because this wasn't just a bag of supplies lost. This was their family's lives. And Powder's disobedience and deflections of accountability (unintentional or no) are like a slap to the face for Vi. It was too much. Not to say Vi was wholly in the right for slapping Powder, but her anger is not unjustified altogether either.
In this scene, both of them are seeking pacification because this trauma is just too much for the two of them to register so quickly… for Powder, it’s begging to not be left and shifting the blame (and we see her lack of accountability earlier on - when she says “I didn’t do anything!” after the building exploded. This is probably because she views mistakes as something that causes her to lose love, so she denies them? But we see later on that Jinx DOES blame herself, even in her diary) whereas VI’s pacification is fighting the thing that causes her pain - in this case, Powder. I definitely think VI’s anger is 100% justifiable and while the slap caught me off guard, I think 99% of people would do the same or worse under the same circumstances. I also think Powder’s lack of accountability is worsened under Silco’s care. In all honesty, Silco was a horrible father figure. He loved her, yes, but not only did he cause the event of her trauma, but he encouraged her to murder and emphasized her worst traits and enabled her fears of abandonment further by projecting his “us vs the world” mentality onto her. Not to mention that he never holds Jinx accountable (while people are rightfully angry at Jinx for ruining things, he never speaks with her in regards to her mistakes and was even willing to get jailed for Jinx as seen in the final episode). I have no doubt that he raised Jinx to believe that every wrongdoing that she suffered through was everybody else’s fault, and that she is the victim always. Her circumstances are truly unfortunate but the one thing about her that annoyed me, as both Powder and Jinx, was that she blamed everyone else for the person she became in the end. Also, love the slap in the face analogy you used near the end. This scene was showing how these two sisters hurt each other (intentional or not) and how it permanently affected their lives onward.
Look, i get it it was wrong for Vi to leave jinx alone but as many people pointed out when Vi just left to cool off cause Vi thought she was going to do hurt even more if she stayed there. In Vi defense she literally saw her 2nd family die in the spans of what is 5 minutes at most and turns out the cause if of all there deaths is Powder/ jinx yeah that's something you don't forgive on the spot even if it was an accident.
Well in Vi's defense, they successfully rescued Vander, and all they had to do was walk/jump through the hole and they'd have gotten away. Then suddenly and without warning the building blows up killing her brothers and pinning her and Vander. Vander then dies fighting and protecting Vi. Then immediately after seeing her loved ones brutally killed, she came to find out her little sister was the direct cause of the traumatic events that had just transpired, which could've been avoided, had Powder just done nothing. Just one of the aforementioned events can mentally cripple someone, going through all of them in quick succession, would be more then enough to break anyone and cause them to snap, regardless of who was the cause. As shown when she hit Powder(which was something she'd never do), she clearly needed to distance herself from her temporarily until she cooled down. And judging by the fact that she didn't go to far away, shows she would've gone back to Powder, had Silco not shown up.
I think that it's more difficult to understand if you never had a little brother/sister. As a big sister, Vi's actions were very relatable to me, and pretty easily understandable. Also the amount of trauma Vi was put through, and in such quick succession, fucks you up immensely
I know a lot of people say when Vi calls Powder Jinx, is when Jinx was made. But I personally think it was when Vi struck her. That had never happened before. She always gave Powder hugs, touched her face, loved her, everything. And the one thing Powder admired Vi for, her fighting ability, the moment that was used on HER, she took that to heart. Why do you think Vi looked at her hands like that? She was remembering Vander saying “THIS? This only causes more problems.” Gesturing to Vi’s bloodied hands when she got in a fight with the thugs in episode one.
Powder called Violet mom hey.. listen at 00:49 hey!! This shows how much Violet meant to Powder.. she was absolutely everything to her.. her sister.. her role model.. her mother.. when Violet walked away Power lost more than just a sister.. she lost everything that she had which had meaning to her!! Add the guilt of killing her friends.. her family.. her team.. it is no surprise Power threw herself at the first person to show her an ounce of affection hey!!
This is such a heart breaking scene. Watch this scene through to the end credits. It makes perfect sense why Jinx says later on that Powder fell down a well.
I love scenes in movies and TV series where "perception is reality" Powder is looked at by Vi, Milo, and Vander as someone who is not treated the same or looked at as a distraction in their suppose "family" group. Then the main villian, Silco finds Powder and takes her in as one of his own. Showing that he became a better caretaker than any of Powder's other family members. Silcos family is now the new family to root for. Everybody saw Powder for her mistakes except for Silco who saw her greatness and what she could bring to the world.
While I do have empathy for Powder her “Why did you leave me”? As if to almost blame this on Vi showed the clear shift in character. When powder began to crack and Jinx was born. And Vi hearing that, powder not taking responsibility for her actions no doubt further enraged her.
Additionally, Vi never denounced powder as her sister she just separated herself from the situation. But IMMEDIATELY wanted to rush back to her, and was caught. Powder on the other hand was the one to simply say she LEFT me and jumped into the arms of the man who was partially responsible for the death her family. To blame Vi for this is to ignore that it powder was the one to fully ignite the flames of Jinx. Jinx was always apart of her that specific situation just happened to be a catalyst
This. I admire the writing for Jinx, and she’s one of the best written characters I’ve ever seen, but I can’t tolerate her. She’s such a toxic family member to Vi, both as Powder and Jinx, because she undoubtedly burdened the family (shown clearly here) and continues to torment Vi even though Vi has done everything to attempt to reconcile. Jinx’s complete lack of accountability in anything just always bothered me, and the fact that so many fans seem to blindly hate Vi makes no sense. Like, Jinx shoots at Vi and the fans expect Vi to run to Jinx with open arms? Caitlyn is the only person Vi has and of course she’ll be hesitant to lose her, especially to her sister who also indirectly killed their entirely family. But people will praise Silco in the same breath and obsess over his relationship with Jinx when he caused their family’s undoing. Vi deserves Caitlyn without being demonized. Silco does not deserve Jinx and he should not be praised for adopting her. Sorry I went on a rant but I’m having arcane brainrot again
@@inactive_subs Yup I agree. i love silco’s character but he is like 95% to blame for everything jinx is. And what she has become, but since he’s hot he’s “best papa”. Let’s be forreal….
