ok i’m not feeling very poetic or literate right now so this may not make sense BUT: here’s my thing about Ekko and Jinx in season 2.

i really, really hope that Jinx doesn’t replace Ekko as the revolutionary. instead, i see Jinx as the symbol of rebellion. i know they’re technically the same thing, but i see it more as Jinx knows what she’s fighting against, while Ekko knows what he’s fighting for. to me, Ekko is the one gathering the people and doing what’s right. the Firelights aren’t really vigilantes, per se, but rather the third party in this war. they want both Zaun and Piltover to change, they want the rules and statues quo to change. Jinx, on the other hand, just wants the council and enforcers gone entirely. Ekko is fighting for peace, while Jinx is fighting for destruction.

i hope that the writers make a distinction between their roles, because i don’t want Ekko’s role as a black revolutionary to be taken by Jinx, a white rebel. the difference in their main goal is drastically different and i hope that that’s included. i love Jinx, don’t get me wrong, but i feel like such a role wouldn’t fit her character at all and would entirely erase Ekko’s schtick. it’d be cool to see them work together, but i don’t want Ekko’s work to be overshadowed by Jinx’s.
