seriously the way they abruptly stopped showing us jinx's mental state in s2 despite it making zero sense for her symptoms to get better was a weird choice considering how rock bottom she gets. then she reunites w her family which is one of her biggest triggers and it's no biggie. s1 had me like wow as someone who experiences psychosis this is the first time i've seen the illness portrayed in a way that doesn't turn the character into a caricature and the animation actually helps the viewer understand and sympathize with the trauma shes suffering from. shes not just a quirky manic pixie dream girl trope but a fully fleshed out person who's a product of the ppl and environment around her. and then they take all that brilliant depth of her character away, making her more palatable to fans who now say "shes not insane anymore!" even tho that's not how it works. and then after a season of suicidal ideation, attempting multiple times, they have her fake her own death bc the message is that her loved ones are better off without her. cool character. i barely recognize her.
#arcane spoilers#arcane critical#sorry yall im breaking my silence. if you dont wanna see critique mute prev tag#there was some weird ableism that really jumped out to me in s2#i know its just a joke but vi insisting jinx is just psychotic and delusional when vi doesnt believe her#like youre right... jinx is delusional and psychotic sometimes but the show just gives this as a reason for vi to never accept her#and then jinx joking that viktor looks like he has a couple of conditions... i didnt think it was funny#and then jayces lines fumbling the wording lumping viks physical disability he was born w with a sickness the conditions of zaun caused#like uhh no i think viktor rightfully didnt want to die young
