How Arcane Writes MORAL AMBIGUITY (9 Methods, 4 Rules)

#LeagueOfLegends #Jinx #Vi Grey characters are what make Arcane SHINE. Jinx’s final act in episode 9 forces upon the audience an unbelievably complex mixture of emotions about every character in the show. How does a story create this kind of complexity? Arcane’s grey heroes (Vi, Vander, Ekko, Caitlyn) and grey villains (Silco, Singed) and everyone in between (Jinx, Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger, Mel) are full of weaknesses, redeeming qualities, moral failures, and moral triumphs. They thrive in Runeterra’s nuanced world of two-faced facades and outright injustice. Piltover and Zaun, the sisters, hextech and shimmer -- all follow along their separate independent tracks until episode’s 9 implosion of hopelessness, catharsis, failure, triumph, all questions, no answers.
