[@Urbanspacefox]

I also concur that having prior knowledge didn’t help much… for those who are NOT familiar in the games Jinx is portrayed more as a Harley-Quinn-esque character… sure she’s got a violent streak but somewhere deep inside she’s still got a lovable side… and tends to direct her destructive tendencies at ‘the bad guys.’ This went so far off left field… there’s a reason I’ve said ‘it like comparing mark Hamil to heath ledger’ over and over…

[@rhaidsbenito6407]

I can’t hear Arcane Jinx from Ella… I mean, her actual voice is just so different from the character she portrayed, which just blows my mind because that’s talent.

[@maximelover3314]

Because these are not the voice actors of Arcane I think, since Jinx in Arcane is voiced by Hailee. Maybe that's why you can't hear Arcane Jinx from Ella, because she's not her voice from the show but from the game (or something else).

[@rheejin9987]

idk if they matched the character's appearance with the actor, or picked the actors based on the characters. Cuz Cait's father is likely Ionian(Asia-inspired region) and her mother is Piltovan(Europe based) and Katie has a background very similar to Cait.

[@Garl_Vinland]

Was Cait always half Ionian? Or was this a checkbox Netflix thing?

[@avozsaj]

@@Garl_Vinland She wasn't since her parents barely had any mention before, but I wouldn't call it a checkbox thing since Netflix is usually more ham-fisted with that. I'm kinda assuming they're mostly just there to distribute the show, Riot should have enough in the bank to make Arcane on their own.

[@biazacha]

What I appreciate is how doesn’t portray “crazy” as this one note - you can feel her instability and in some moments legit have no idea what she’s gonna do. She suffers about her trauma in one scene and in the next one is intimidating people with the knowledge that others FEAR her craziness - Jinx both weaponized and is victimized by her mental illnesses.
