Definitely noticed MU Ekko has a short temper and tends to snap at people quickly lol. He's also super blunt to the point he comes across as rude in multiple occasions, but I'd say that type of behaviour makes perfect sense based on how he had to grow up in a messed up environment
Ok but MU Ekko has better drip and bigger muscles.
But more seriously, that's the main reason why I disagree with people who say that Ekko x AU Powder makes more sense than Ekko x MU Jinx.
It's made pretty clear that MU Ekko is traumatized. Maybe he could have gotten used to the peaceful life of AU Zaun, the same way soldiers eventually do go back to their lives after seeing the horrors of war. But Ekko is still forever changed and hardened by his life in the main timeline, something that AU Powder can't really understand or empathize with.
That's why he never seemed to really hesitate about going back home. His rightful place is in his own timeline, with his own Jinx, and all the people who know who he is, what he's been through, and how far he's come because they've lived all their lives in the same cutthroat hellhole as he does. Even though they're broken, at least they know the source of each other's pain and shortcomings.
It's a comfort that Ekko would never be able to find, in the alternate universe.
Personally, I love the relationship between Jinx and Ekko, though I understand that not everyone shares the same perspective. It's a dynamic that has a lot of history and emotion, but I also like how each character has grown individually. I don't think they necessarily need to be together for their stories to remain powerful. Still, I'm always excited to see more of them in future seasons.
