If we're operating under the assumption that Jinx is alive, then she absolutely got a better *ending* than Vi. And it's really sad when you think about it.
Jinx essentially :
- Gets to be known as Zaun's - and maybe even Piltover's too - hero (this was Vi's dream originally).
- Gets to say her final goodbye to their father, face to face whilst being cradled by him. (Vi only got to hold him briefly before he attacked her).
- Probably has the door open to a relationship with Ekko, someone who has proven his love and devotion to her by literally letting himself get blown up multiple times in order to save her life despite all she did.
- Most importantly, she gets a new fresh start, away from all of her trauma with no strings attached. Obviously, she'll still struggle, but she's in a much better place.
Vi, on the other hand :
- Is perpetually blaming herself for her sister's death.
- Has a father in law who holds disdain to her at best and is openly discriminatory at worst.
- Is entirely financially dependent on someone who has shown very little loyalty to her (the first time street). Due to the writer's refusing to acknowledge Caitlyn’s harmful actions to Zaun, she and Vi don't feel like equals.
- Has no support system (other than Caitlyn and maybe her father). She has no ties to her home (burnt down)/family(all dead). I dont know if ekko even fws her anymore, especially if she's an enforcer). She's technically having a "new start," too, but she doesn't get to escape her past like Jinx does.
They really wrote Vi as the most tragic character without even meaning to. Oh, my shayla 😭
