I would contend that Singed’s remark about people in power not being innocent is actually a fairly universal point rather than extreme or radical. It even matches Vander’s perspective that he taught Vi in episode 1, that if you are a leader and your choices affect many people, then you carry responsibility for any consequence or collateral damage. Even if a leader is maintaining the status quo or implementing moderate reforms, every choice that affects a population will still affect the balance of life and death and some sacrifices and compromises will always be made on some scale, so a leader who makes those executive decisions must take responsibility for the numerous trolley problems they’re solving and the inherent tradeoffs that come with them. It’s the price of being an individual with the power to affect the world and the lives of others.
So much for redemption,eh? Vi is getting a lot of punches in the face, whether she chooses it admittedly or is forced, she's truly a pass out in the mug.
yeah its weird and easy to think the season and therefore the show is just dunking on Vi, but I think its a lot more to do with their idea of tragedy, despite intentions or love. I've heard before that the show values the idea of 'too little, too late' and I think that Vi is like the hero who lives within that idea. We want so much more for her, and we with full context understand how easy those choice could be--but who she is, what she wants and what she knows never aligns properly or at the right time.
Vi just easily falls apart when things get tense (Protected Isha from Cait in ep 3 but hit her here during a fight with Jinx), I wonder if vander’s presence will remind her about his lesson to Vi in s1 regarding self-restraint?
I don't think it's entirely coincidental. The writers for Jinx said she took some direct inspiration from the Joker and her mannerisms were very Batman-like in s1. There are quite a few subtle overlaps with the Batman series in Arcane and I think that is part of what adds to its overall appeal.

@@DownUFO I like that a lot better than the way I took it
Am I the only one who had "Korra alone" vibes from the first scene including Vi?
I love how both Vi and Jinx are these capable fighters, but the moment they're fighting, it's bitch slapping and hitting, true sibling energy 😂
Everyone wants to have a happy space in this series😂😂😂😂

16:10 great detail here
Vi thinks she doesnt have the right to console Jinx

I feel like crash out Vi and crash out Korra would get along😅
Hell yeah on the Boondock Saints reference.
Powder and Vi and Vander and Isha live a happy life in Zaun! Everything is ok! Jayce shaves his facial hair and everything is normal again! Please!!!

In fairness there's a large difference between letting a kid get shot in the head and hitting them reflexively when they bite you
So many batman nods this video. Bane and the pit, Scarecrow, Dr. Freeze (lol)
@@heisetube8233 It reminds me of that great episode from Batman Beyond where they're stuck in their hallucinations
Spellbinder was a menace
