I would contend that Singed’s remark about people in power not being innocent is actually a fairly universal point rather than extreme or radical. It even matches Vander’s perspective that he taught Vi in episode 1, that if you are a leader and your choices affect many people, then you carry responsibility for any consequence or collateral damage. Even if a leader is maintaining the status quo or implementing moderate reforms, every choice that affects a population will still affect the balance of life and death and some sacrifices and compromises will always be made on some scale, so a leader who makes those executive decisions must take responsibility for the numerous trolley problems they’re solving and the inherent tradeoffs that come with them. It’s the price of being an individual with the power to affect the world and the lives of others.

I love how both Vi and Jinx are these capable fighters, but the moment they're fighting, it's bitch slapping and hitting, true sibling energy 😂

So much for redemption,eh? Vi is getting a lot of punches in the face, whether she chooses it admittedly or is forced, she's truly a pass out in the mug.

Am I the only one who had "Korra alone" vibes from the first scene including Vi?

yeah its weird and easy to think the season and therefore the show is just dunking on Vi, but I think its a lot more to do with their idea of tragedy, despite intentions or love. I've heard before that the show values the idea of 'too little, too late' and I think that Vi is like the hero who lives within that idea. We want so much more for her, and we with full context understand how easy those choice could be--but who she is, what she wants and what she knows never aligns properly or at the right time.

I don't think it's entirely coincidental. The writers for Jinx said she took some direct inspiration from the Joker and her mannerisms were very Batman-like in s1. There are quite a few subtle overlaps with the Batman series in Arcane and I think that is part of what adds to its overall appeal.
