    After watching Arcane, I really like your theories about Jinx's future, particularly Jinx forgetting what the chaos is all about. I could easily see her mental state deteriorating over time, only made worse by the shimmer augmentation, to the point that she becomes the full on chaos gremlin we have in the game; forgetting who she used to be and exactly who Vi and Caitlyn are, only knowing that they are important to her.

    You forgot the Ziggs comic, it gives a small incite into Jinx by contrasting it to Ziggs. Jinx does not understand what she's doing, she is a child who doesn't realize her actions have consequences. At one point she attempts to blow up the police department and succeeds and slowly come to the realization of what she just did and starts to feel shame. But then it's revealed all the police survived and then she goes. " yay now I don't have to learn from my actions now." (I don't know the exact line but that's I think basically what she says) it basically confirms she's not evil just really dumb.

    I gotta say, I really like this new direction for the What's the Deal series, including a section about their lore/future lore and speculation for what they can be. I never get tired of hearing you talk and theorize what and how a champion can grow/improve their character design. Can't wait for the next one, maybe some of the older champs of how you could imagine them in a rework!! Like, What's the Deal with Corki?

    I find it funny that people call Jinx a knock off Harley Quinn but a more apt comparison would be a female Joker. Post watching Arcane she's not really either. She's not as deranged as the Joker but she doesn't suffer from the same kinds of trauma as Harely and I'm happy that she's come into her own.

    I like the broken bird perspective. Sort of. Like in the start it really IS just Jinx having fun and loving explosion and causing mayhem and not knowing/remembering/realizing the trauma that happened to her, be it normal trauma or some chemicals making her bonkers. And an encounter with Vi, something she says or does, or something else, TRIGGER a downward spiral for her, that makes her relive/realize her trauma one piece after the other, which could lead to an emotional breakdown (Or FULL madness) and it ends with Vi and Jinx either ending the other or reconciling. Maybe Vi's whole thing is either bring back the person who used to be her sister, be it with hextech, fists, magic, medicin whatevs. Or end the person who has taken her place.
