The worst line in season 2
By far the dumbest line in season 2 for me was when Jinx was in the jail cell and tells Caitlyn(Who she murdered the mother of) "I didn't know your mom was in that building" Like what?
This line makes no sense how you interpret it and for no reason should make Caitlyn think that Jinx is a good person. You can either interpret it as
- Jinx didn't think ANYONE was in the building. In this case, jinx is insanely stupid as the lights in the building was on and its literally the capital building. She also thought to herself "Show them, Show them all" as she aimed the rocket launcher towards the building, so its safe to say that she was expecting to hurt someone.
- Jinx specifically didn't know Caitlyn's mom would be in the building. Like okay, maybe she didn't know that is literally where Caitlyn's mom works. But what about all the other people? She was cool with killing people but only regret killing Caitlyn's mom because she actually is facing some consequences for once.
How on earth does this convince Caitlyn that Jinx could change? It either makes no sense at all or shows that jinx doesn't care about people unless she has to face some consequence for doing something wrong to them.
To me, this line kinda summarizes why Jinx's redemption arc completely fails. Jinx was the one that killed Victor(Which results in Jayce using the arcane to try to revive him), Caitlyn's mom, cripples Sylo, start the crack downs in the underground, and destabilize the underground by killing the one guy keeping it under control who could actually free the people down there. all the people worshipping her would not be praising her if they knew that she literally directly caused all the problems that they are facing. Its a terrible arc cause everyone just suddenly decides that Jinx is a hero and is so quick to forgive her. They never even discuss how the people who worship her don't know the full story. The worst thing to ever happen in Caitlyn's life(The death of her mother) is because Jinx shot a fucking rocket launcher at her and somehow its all better because Jinx "Didn't know she was there".
