I am not sure how to explain It and maybe It's just me but I feel like Isha doesn't really act like a child, especially in the finale. It feels like she is an adult character who magically shape-shifted into a child or like a spirit guide who took such a form.Of course we know that her reason for existence in the narrative is to be a plot device for Jinx but It almost feels like Isha herself is aware of that. Isha's intervention in the battle is supposed to parallel Powder's but I feel like Powder's lines, mannerisms, emotional responses and way of thinking were more reminiscent of those of an actual real child. She felt like a more organically written young character being concerned and reckless and wanting to help. Isha acts like she is in an edit and for some reason her resignation at the end somehow felt unnatural and not quite fitting for a kid character. I don't know If that makes sense but that's just the feeling that I got while watching the scene.
Yeah I think they made her too young, she look like 5 - definitely younger than Powder in any case and she is way too competent lol. I guess she is meant to be like. A super powered 5 yr old or something. But her abilities in act 2 definitely ruin my suspension of disbelief. In act 1 she was believably childlike- even when she protected Jinx it was uncertain and hesitant (w pulling the trigger). After a few months with Jinx she’s apparently making bombs and staging prison riots - I guess Jinx is an excellent teacher haha. Then during her sacrifice she strikes a cool pose and everything- yeah it all feels pretty unbelievable for as young as she is. Wish it meant she actually was Janna or something but I think it’s just cheesy writing.
