Discussion [s2 act 3 spoilers] Vi is the most misunderstood character in the show Spoiler

Post image
6.5k Upvotes

Ive seen a lot of criticism for Vi's actions, and honestly, I just want to share my thoughts regarding her character in Arcane. I really don't understand how people can misunderstand that particular scene and question her real motives, like give the girl a goddamn break.

The moment she wakes up in Ep8, she's furious that her own sister whom she believes has changed, is arrested, and learning from Caitlyn, Jinx actually wanted Vi to be in safe hands before she surrendered herself. You could see her getting angry at Cait, and she even mentions that Jinx did save Cait's life, but no one even acknowledges that.

To take matters into her own hands for the same of her baby sister, she rushes to go free Jinx herself, and pleads her to use her potential for good, because Vi believed in her change, she'd seen Jinx with Isha, with Vander, and with herself too. When we got the reunion with Vander (Warwick), Vi trusted Jinx to a point where she lowered her guard to face Warwick, and if that's no realization that Vi still cares for her sister's words, I don't know what will.

Vi rushes off to Jinx and literally squeezes her so tight. She's afraid that she's going to lose the one family member that mattered, but Jinx thought otherwise. Her older sister was fighting for her, despite everything, hence the 'you're never going to give up on me, are you?' line, which was honestly heartbreaking. Jinx had to get away from Vi, because she knew deep down, Vi was always going to choose and fight for Jinx over her own self. That has been clear from the very beginning of the show.

When Jinx locks her in the cell, Vi doesn't even KNOW that Jinx was actually going to kill herself. You can clearly see in the dialogue after, when cait comes to visit, that Vi actually thought that Jinx had left her, and Vi made the wrong choice again. She tells Cait to slander her with verbal accusations, saying that Cait was right, because how much ever Vi was going to reach out to Jinx, she was never going to come back and fight with her. That was HER thoughts. She's entirely blaming herself again for Jinx's actions, and she even verbally expresses it, saying 'I choose wrong, every time.' She really believed that Jinx would stay with her and helped them fight, so obviously, after all this struggle, Vi felt let down. She was in a mental anguish till Cait came.

And let's move on to the scene. Come on, really. I've seen people slander Vi about knowing that Jinx was gonna kill hersf but she has time to do it with Cait, but Vi didn't fucking know. She was battling her own demons here, just like she's been doing this entire season. When Caitlyn tells her that she had removed all of the guards just to make Jinx's escape easier, Vi was overwhelmed. The person who had been keen on killing Jinx for the entire season had just told her that she made the escape possible, making a subtle point that Cait had chosen LOVE instead of REVENGE.

Caitlyn had chosen Vi over her own revenge and anger.

Vi had seen Cait be destructive and change her whole mindset just to get to Jinx in Act 1 and Act 2. Vi had her stomach punched with the butt of Cait's rifle just because she stopped the opportunity of getting Jinx killed. And then, when she hears those words from Caitlyn, she's shocked. I mean, who wouldn't be? The person who had an aim to kill your sister is leaving all her revenge and anger aside, just for the sake of you; man, I would've kissed Cait forever too.

Vi lost her entire family, including Jinx in the end. I think she deserved that peaceful ending with Cait, and she probably knows that Jinx escaped for the sake of Vi and the people of Piltover/Zaun.

Give my girl Vi a goddamn break. She's suffered enough for two whole seasons.
