Was there ever a Powder?The leadup to the final scene was built up perfectlyVi is all that was keeping Powder PowderBeautifully tragic characterCait 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 foundedIt's okay Cait can fix herDoes Vi really reciprocate Cait's clear feelings?Jace:Idealist to near Tyrant: Road to hell paved with good intentionsCharacter is not as compelling as others in the showMel:Clearly using JaceWould be nice to have more time with herThe interaction with the mother, helps recontextualize her characterVictor:Taming of Jace and instrumental to the peace that Jace offersHeimdinger:What did he see and was he involved with the previous magic incident?Ekko clearly opens his eyes to how the undercity actually isClearly always an academicPredictions/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 independenceDev- 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 himWants:- 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
