While Jhin is my favorite champion and I would love to see him play a major role in some kind of movie (or better yet an animated show or Netflix series,) I think it would be far more interesting if the focus was split between him, as well Zed & Shen in their efforts to track him down, taking place in either their pasts or within the current lore's timeframe.

More importantly, if such a thing were to happen, then I can't see it having a PG-13 rating. If Riot or their fans want such a movie/show to live up to its full potential regarding Jhin's insanity and the after-effects of his mind-scarring murders, then it would most certainly have to be rated R... which Riot (and to a greater extent, Tencent) probably doesn't have the balls to do. If they didn't have the balls to release his original color text in NA due to "graphic imagery," then they definitely wouldn't take the same risks with a movie or a show... which could very likely result in the whole thing feeling "watered down" and just being a huge disappointment for a lot of people in general.

And if Jhin was actually the main character of such a show or movie, with its plot revolving entirely around him as its protagonist.... then they would have to apply some form of vulnerability or humanity to him to make him likable or even somewhat relatable for an audience. (A lot of fictional serial killers like Dexter Morgan, Hannibal Lecter or The Joker have gotten similar treatment, so I don't see why Jhin would be any different.)

This could vary from an expansion on his insecurities (like his self-image,) to something as crucial as a face reveal or a sob-story for his past, or a combination thereof. While I'd be fine with any of this, I know there a lot of other mains who wouldn't be (especially a face reveal,) because it could potentially ruin their perception of the character.

So while a lot of people in the community keep saying they want a movie about Jhin, or a movie about Zed and Shen trying to track him down... I don't think many of them are considering the potential monkey's paw scenario we could get in return.

I'm so into the character that every night i listen to his quotes and watch the awaken bow , it's just amazing. Jhin's character reminds me of joker of dark night but more bad ass . i mean just consider his voice . i'm so obsessed with it . i think if Riot games makes comics for Jhin at first ( because they are working with marvel over comics) and then if they were successful, make a movie , it's gonna be lit.
