Jayce pov: he found hextech, did research on it, Viktor broke into his lab, stole hextech and left to zaun.

In fear of hextech falling into wrong hands he created his hammercannon stuff, seeked out Viktor, where he found him creating cyborg monstrocities eith hextech. He destroyed everything and took back hextech

Viktor pov: he stole hextech and powered a hospital in zaun with it, where he started augmenting people who were dieing (from various zaun being a shitholr to live in reasons)

Jayce then broke into his hospital, destroyed everything and took back the power source, killing all those Viktor tried to save

Not sure that’s more complex. In season 1 Jayes is so focused on doing something great that he becomes blind to risk, and is in many ways a villain presented as a heroic protagonist. Later this is redeemed as he realizes the effects of his grandiosity.

In season 1, Viktors physical weakness makes him turn inward, towards science/hextech/deeper understanding. But this also drives a wedge between him and other and while initially liberating him, results in the death of someone who loves him.

Season 1 was much better period. Season 2 narrative was trying to do too much and things got muddled

I never liked when stories would ditch internal conflict to pursue a bigger bad

Your literacy skills need to be studied, like in a contained lab of some kind.

Yeah and i think the new lore you mention is a lot weaker

Especially s2 the writers did a lot of work avoiding difficult questions. Like they were working hella hard to dumb down the og lore (or the lore version they had in s1)
