Having motivations tie and build on each other How to show trauma in a character Miscommunication done well How Binge watching vs Slow watching and how it can affect perceptions Way to make Partner a confusing term.. Piltover and the Lanes storylines mirror each other very will, which keeps the pacing strong Watching the stakes getting smaller for a global scale, but much higher on a personal scale Somehow Drew spoils himself again... Vander: Sense of responsibility and paternal instinct Clearly instilled his morals down to the kids Not selling out, but doing what he can to protect everyone Silco: Similar motivations to Vander, but on the opposite side of the coin Was he trying to take Jinx relationship from Vander, or actually caring? Jinx/Silco have one of the most honest relationships Vi: Did the voice actress miss the mark late in the series? Flat in presentation, but not in the writing Clearly cares for Powder, and has always fought for her Vi becomes the successor to Vander in her own way Jinx/Powder: When does Powder end and Jinx begin? Was there ever a Powder? The leadup to the final scene was built up perfectly Vi is all that was keeping Powder Powder Beautifully tragic character Cait and Vi: Make the relationship make more sense. These characters have known each other for like a day - Is the relationship just bait, or is it founded It's okay Cait can fix her Does Vi really reciprocate Cait's clear feelings? Jace: Idealist to near Tyrant: Road to hell paved with good intentions Character is not as compelling as others in the show Mel: Clearly using Jace Would be nice to have more time with her The interaction with the mother, helps recontextualize her character Victor: Taming of Jace and instrumental to the peace that Jace offers Heimdinger: What did he see and was he involved with the previous magic incident? Ekko clearly opens his eyes to how the undercity actually is Clearly always an academic Predictions/Wishlist: Drew: - We will adjust to new primary characters, and we will move away from characters like Jace - Vi will be followed, Jinx won't be quite as prominent - Viktor and Jayce splitting, and becoming side characters - What kind of take over from Mel's mom? Wants: - Vi teaming up and going after Jinx for accountability - Caitlin being a more flushed out character and some independence Dev - Time skip - Vi and Cait on a man hunt for Jinx - Vi will not be trying to save Powder, but hunting Jinx - Jayce and Mel dead from the explosion and that is where we will have opening for other characters - Mel's mom will take over Piltover - Viktor will also try hunting Jinx, and Vi will have to deal with him Wants: - External threat that forces Piltover and the Undercity join because of a larger threat - Build a buddy cop feel so Vi and Cait can grow from each other ... Guys will play gay chicken and it is surprising how far you can get
