Which Undoubtedly Is A Major Factor In Powder's Downfall (if Not Major One) - Tumblr Posts

Jinx isn't a bad person for killing enforcers or blowing up the council. She's a bad person for brutally killing Firelights (her fellow oppressed people), aiding Silco's drug operation despite the harm it causes to people in Zaun, and kidnapping & psychologically tormenting her sister. That is what makes her a villain.

I find the choice to blame Jayce of all people rather… odd? He didn't create the crystals that Powder used as a weapon — he obtained them and studied them in pursuit of scientific discoveries, with the show making it clear that Hextech is neither good nor evil by itself. Every instance in which it caused harm was facilitated by the flaws of the ones using it: be it Piltover's corruption, Jayce's naïvette, Viktor's carelessness, or Powder's desperation to prove herself; and while there are many reasons for her state of mind at that moment, Jayce certainly isn't one of them.

arcane season 1 is like yes this is jinx's villain origin story, but if you think about it, is she really that evil? is fighting back against your oppressors with weapons of their own creation (both hextech and jinx) really that unjustified? and personally i don't think it is. but the point isn't finding the answer, it's that you can ask so many difficult questions in the first place
