Jayce reminds us of 2 iconic characters from DC and Marvel
The reason comes from the fact that this character unexpectedly shot his old friend Viktor, leading to the departure of a series of other supporting characters. This has caused quite a bit of outrage among viewers. On many forums from Reddit, Facebook, X… has become a topic of controversy in the audience community .
Jayce has been mentioned a lot after Arcane 2 released the next 3 episodes
Especially for many viewers, Jayce reminds them of 2 iconic characters in the DCU and MCU. Those are Batman and Iron Man.
In his famous comic storylines, Batman has never traveled through time, but he has been to many places on Earth and in the universe. Batman understands how dangerous his Justice League teammates can be if they lose control. Therefore, in some comic issues, Batman asserts that he has prepared all the plans to counter his own teammates.
Batman is the brains of the Justice League but he also prepares many ‘toys’ to prevent his friends from losing control
This has become material for DCU fans to tease Batman when many of his gadgets have been stolen by villain groups, causing him and the Justice League to struggle numerous times. At the same time, he is often questioned by his close friend Superman.
As for Iron Man, in the Age of Ultron episode, this character was shown a vision by Scarlet Witch where all his teammates were annihilated. This affected Iron Man’s psyche and contributed to his agreement to the superhero registration program. He even created Ultron to help his teammates have more time to rest and deal with villains more effectively.
Iron Man also faced off against his best friend after seeing visions of the future
And similar to Batman or Jayce, Tony Stark also faced “backlash.” His creations also “rebelled” and nearly caused the Avengers to “disappear.” Meanwhile, Iron Man got caught up in Civil War and had to fight against his best friend Captain America.
Will Jayce be similar to these two superheroes?
In the debates about Jayce, there are quite a few opinions “defending” the character Jayce. Because before that, he had a moment that could be related to “time travel” and witnessed something new that made Jayce confused, and did not hesitate to “deal” with his friend like that.
Combined with another factor, in the League of Legends storyline, Riot has nicknamed Jayce “The defender of tomorrow” while affirming that “his heart is always in the right place.” It could be that the details in Arcane 2 are to explain the entire storyline and the character’s title in the game.
Many viewers also believe Jayce is ‘righteous’
At the moment, it can be said that Jayce is receiving countless “backlash,” similar to Batman and Iron Man when their plans have issues. But perhaps, in the upcoming episodes, Riot will resolve and help Jayce be “vindicated.” Just like when the audience understands the motives of both Batman and Iron Man in their story arcs.
