"If you think calling Jinx is perfect is admirable, you need to rethink your life" Ah, there it is. Insulting your audience. Thanks, now I don't have to watch the rest of it.

Dude you missed one of the best characters, Singed!!!(singed and heimer, heimer is an immortal yordle who doesn’t care about mortality and only sees science with patience since he has infinite time while singed is a researcher that uses science to fight death in any way possible and is struggling with the fragility of life against time, he wants to save life at all costs)

The way you talked allllll that sh*t about how "evil" Silco is, but failed to acknowledge how much death suffering & poverty Piltover is responsible for, doesn't sit well w/me. 😒 They are responsible for WAY more death, disease, crime, lack of healthcare, inadequate housing, abysmal working conditions, homelessness & hopelessness, than Silco could EVER be, in his entire effing life. The sole reason Piltover is the fancy gleaming prosperous city that it is, because they exploited, abused, oppressed & murdered the people of the Undercity, for entire generations! But sure... Silco is the "big bad" everybody should hate. INSANE.

I still don't see Silco as a manipulator. I think he's genuinely trying to help Jinx, but the problem is that Silco is also haunted by his traumatic past and is a deeply damaged person, but in very different ways, so his "help" is destructive. I think his paternal instincts and love for Jinx is 100% genuine, but that doesn't mean that their relationship is healthy, or that his guidance is what she needs, or that they either of them are a good person, in the end. It's a bit of a misunderstanding to think that all tocic relationships are based on one or both people in it not loving the other person. There are many, many ways that unhealthy relationships can exist between two people who love one another, and I would argue that this is probablu _more_ common than unhealthy relationships where one person is simply _knowingly_ manipulating the other for their own benefit or for a sense of control and power over the other. And I really think that always painting unhealthy relationships in this wat in media and online discussions can cause damage to people in IRL bad relationships where there is mutual love, because it allows for that classic line, "I know they did X, but I also know they _really_ love me, deep down!" to continue to live and be used by people who are being abused. Usually unhealthy relationships come from one or both people being so damaged as to be incapable of expressing genuine affection in a healthy way or controlling their emotions, or from plain old _basically_ OK people who are otherwise normal and functional, but who both feed off of each others worst qualities and bring those worst aspects out of one or both of them. And this is what I think is going on with Jinx and Silco. They're both just completely fucked in the head, just in different ways that causes them to do pretty fucked up stuff to each other and to anyone nearby who is unfortunate enough to get between them or even just catch the odd stray, here and there. But they both _genuinely_ seem to love and care for each other, and they both want the best for each other... But what they think the "best" thing is and how they can help the other achieve it would be considered crazy nutso bullshit by anyone except them.

This video is absolutely perfect, and has taught me so much about writing, arcs, and storytelling. There is an abundance of Iron giant video essays but this is by far the best. The iron giant is my favorite movie, and you have improved it so much for me. I do not consider you a mere “Amateur” analyst. You are truly a professional, and it’s a shame you don’t upload more.

Loved the things you spoke of but, this was difficult to watch knowing the scenes were mirrored.

Only a couple of videos and gone. Crazy, this guy made an incredible video essay.

52:25 Just look up Georgia Dow's view on Silco. And on the Silco + Jinx relationship.

The quality and care that went into Powder's Ugly Cry scene is not something you will find anywhere else. We have all been there. We KNOW how it feels. But the tone and music and DETAILS on it is *chef kiss*.

Nice note on the sputnik beep never caught the before and after idea. quality video keep it up

Amazing review. Documentary style and depth. Just a great job all around

I love this gem of a movie

Hi I'm a french guy and in my country NO ONE knows this classic and I would like sooooo much for it to be more watched in here but anyway thank you for your excellent analysis on my favorite movie ever and I also wanted to say, magnificent message at the end, Warner deserved it.

This is the best analysis of The Iron Giant I've ever seen.

Silco's a remarkable villain. But it's important to note that a huge part of what makes him so effective a villain, and so ruthless and certain in his course, is that he was not ALWAYS a villain. Silco gave everything for his rebellion and thought he was surrounded by rebels as committed, and passionate, as he was. This belief was torn away from him when Vander made peace with the top siders and nearly murdered him. The betrayal shattered Silco in a way that only an earnest, heartfelt, absolutely convicted person can be shattered. That's why he becomes the Silco we know in the show. That's why he's so ruthless. That's why he looks at people as assets and pieces on the board to be used rather than actual partners, loves, brothers, sisters, daughters. That's why the love he holds for Jynx is so undoing. It's more than just his inability to give her up for the dream of Zaun that is undoing. The one thing that has driven him into the monster he has become. His absolute justification for who he is and why he is. It's also undoing every measure and means he has left to protect himself from ever being that vulnerable again. Silco is an evil bastard. But he's not an evil bastard for the sake of being an evil bastard. He's an understandable over-correction from a character we'd have likely loved and rooted for. That kind of writing is just so rarely done with villains. Silco's motivations, his thoughts and decisions, his feels all make sense in context with the writing of who he is.

This was always one of my favourite movies as a kid, but seeing it again now in my adult years has given me a whole new appreciation for it. I have so much empathy for the child like innocence of the giant, the ending had me bawling my eyes out. Great video man.

“DEEnn” That’s all I wanted to say.

Wow, phenomenal analysis! I would LOVE to hear you cover Tony Stark!! Got some anime ones too if you’re into that sort of stuff :)

6:39 never thought I’d see a trailer park boys clip in an iron giant review, good shit

Screw this! Riot should give up making games and make a streaming service.

iron giant is my favorite film of all time. it gets better everytime i watch it! it is a masterpiece

This is the first film to make me cry

Bro you make fanominal video extremely enticing and captivating Hope you still plan on making more videos

I keep seeing CC videos(NOT this one) and people posting which is CLEARLY subjective far reaching BS, that because they can't make Silco into a villain that he "groomed" Jinx. I want to stop this crap right now because I've been m0lested at 4yo and I have grown quite tired of people CLEARLY NOT, saying this about Silco and Jinx. Two scenes specifically so I'm going to clear this up and I hope all of you will just copy paste this to the idiots. Player in DOTA and LoL, Love Arcane and ANIME in GENERAL. I am tired of seeing sick individuals act like because they can't define why Silco is who he is, simply defer to some subjective PROJECTION on him and Jinx. I want to say firstly, thank you for MAKING IT all about your neurotypical PRIDE and I mean that as in the liberalistic trash that wants to be identified by pronouns rather than NOUNS Ie who the F you really are. If I see one more leftist talk about pedophilia between Jinx and SIlco I swear I'll put a 500 page essay out that rips your idiot self-indulgent whatever letters you ARE to the down under. You know what's rarer than LGBTQFGHGHIIETRHGI???? Being AUTISTIC, We are every race and every gender and we neurodivergents get nothing, even the word is list in red by google LOL not even in the lexicon yet. Imagine being LGBTQx10 and living graciously with that understand for 30 fkin years? That's US. So to put it clearly and bluntly, STOP trying to manifest your BS on US. WE are the real minority in every ethnicity and religion and left aside. There is nothing pedophiliac and I swear the next CC or idiot I see make this claim, let's start with WERE YOU M0LESTED? I WAS and I couldn't see more self-indulgent, narcissistic PROJECTIONIST bs in my life......... I'm editing because I did NOT give the 2 scenes because I forgot, apologies. Scene 1 People keep talking about the scene where Jinx swing around Silcoand sits on him while playing with a ship and not paying attention. This is AUTISM and it's NOT a disease but a DIFFERENT way of thinking. Jinx has Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( Think War Vets....) AND was born Autistic. Scene 2 The BAPTISM.....what I call it. I have heard so many times, "I felt like he was going to kiss her?" The baptism was the MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENE to me.....Silco tells about how Vander nearly killed him, Jinx doesn't listen (we always think we know best and 90% of the time we do but no one listens.) Jinx could kill almost anyone but pays attention and allows Silco to make her vulnerable by submerging her like him because she on a subconscious level understand their pain is identical. Brother supposedly betrays brother and sister to sister....It's not a kiss scene it's a scene of pure love, a father willing to give up EVERYTHING for an adopted daughter who would of died on the streets of the underside because Vi never would of been let out of prison without JINX bombing topside!

I found d a parallel between Heimerdinger and Echo. When Echo brings him to his hideout and he shows Heimerdinger what magical and mechanical marvels he created in the wake of all the fallout I think Heimerdinger saw in him a younger version of himself and his values.

I love your unpopular opinions about Silco. Yes he was an excellent written character, and he DID love Jinx....but love isnt enough. Love doesn't make someone a good person or parent. Love doesn't simply make a relationship healthy. And I agree, Vi is the best and her fight scenes are a highlight of the show for me too😆 great video!!

Beautiful analysis, one of the best I've seen! Now I want to see your other analysis too. (also, not trying to be a jerk here, but the correct spelling is 'competence'. The word 'likeability' is correct in English, but 'likability' is correct in US English too 😀 )

cupcakes , something a little is sweet isn't that bad , , "Caytlin" , its hint about whats to come for vi , powder as well

I’m sorry but you can’t really say someone is objectively unlikable. There a subjective experience whether or not someone likes them. And Silco didn’t create Jinx

This was my favorite movie as a kid. I played it over and over again anticipating the sequel. But it wasn’t until this year, 2023, that I saw the deleted scenes for the first time. Made me love it even more. This is a classic

This needs more views and likes. Can't believe UA-cam has videos like this buried underneath garbage

Had a chance to check out Blue Eye Samurai?

From what I’m reading and don’t get me wrong love the video but when analyzing silco you’re looking at it in third person cause he had no reason to scene his manipulating when talking to vanders statue if that’s what they wanted then That moment would be where he shows his true colours but at that point he realizes he can’t have zaun and jinx safely he’s struggling with the fatherly instinct he’s nurtured and the fierce resistance fighter he thinks he is

love the way you simplify charcters hope u can analyse s2 aswell:)

You're saying that one cannot sympathize with Silco because we can compare him to Vi and Ekko. I disagree with this take. Both Vi and Ekko are much younger than him and does not share the same history that both Silco and Vander have. Let's not forget that Vander was not only part of the rebellion, he was leading it. Silco was the only character between the three (silco/vander/benzo) that kept on going and would do anything it would take to get his justice. And what got Silco killed was the same reason that Vander (and Benzo) gave up on the rebellion and died. Silco is a great villain because he's a gray character, like the other characters in the show. He's mysterious, smart, extreme and yet surprisingly ends up having the same soft heart for his "daughter" that Vander had. He would've achieved his goals if it weren't for this weakness. A lot of people seem to forget about how badly Piltover had treated Zaun. Even Heimerdinger, the head of the council, was not aware of how bad it was. Even the term "villain" is only a matter of perspective, which is quite important when looking at this show. You can just as easily say the council were the villains. In S2 we'll see more of Silco and Vander's background, which will be quite interesting. I wonder how S2 is gonna change people's view on Silco.

Great video, tho I think you exaggerated silco's evilness. He's mostly a radical mafia boss rather than a full fledged monster.

CompEtence

I love the Marcus insinuation "I know theres a crime behind every coin that passes through this place" and then carries his blood money that is a symbol of getting her mentor killed for the rest of the show

Why do people try make silco a pedo??

Many people in the community will call you unfair with Silco, I don't think you are, he is an evil bastard through and through and is way too glorified. With that said, I do think you are mistaken about his natures. I don't think he is actually a psychopath, keep in mind that neurotypical people can be and have been insanely evil throughout history. Silco is capable of love, and he loves Jinx, not in a twisted way, he truly cares for her as a father should. He cares about her more than he does his ideal of Zaun, which is the other thing he actually cares about. And this makes for an interesting tragedy, his love for Jinx is reciprocated. And Jinx grows to love and respect him as well, she emulates him in some ways. But what she emulates and respect is essentially a piece of shit glorified Mafia Boss, and if Silco is a good case for the banality of evil, Jinx is actually mentally unstable. The tragedy is that if Silco had manipulated Jinx like he does everyone else, if he had been insincere in his fatherly love, then Jinx might not have respected him, she would not have been torn between Silco and Vi, she could have been rescued Vi, but Silco making an exception for Jinx makes him just as influential on Jinx as Vi is. This makes Silco a more interesting antagonist in my opinion, as it makes his most redeeming trait have the worse consequences for the characters.

Hey guys, make sure to check out my latest video on Rumble! TLDR: Fair use is dead on UA-cam. rumble.com/v3pb6a5-top-gun-th...

This show is so full of dualities I'd made completely different connections then mentioned here. You can make an insightful duality out of pretty much any two characters in arcane. A lot of them form squares. Jayce and Jinx have a whole inventor theme that's contrasted a lot. Singed and Heimerdinger are also a big one from that perspective.

idk if you have watched the videos from schee´s channel, he has a lot of analysis vids about arcane, you should watch the one about immortality

this video helped me write a 3 page essay. thanks man

Excellent video. The misspelling of "competence" continuously showing up did distract from the argument though. Also, while the little punctuations of goofy humor are hilarious, they really undermine the tone of the video.

I can't remember the last UA-cam video that made me cry. You bastard, yes it is mostly because the iron Giant is quite the emotional movie. Also, what is the context behind the F-U Warner Brothers?

I'm only 15 mins in and am already in love with your format. This video deserves more views and you definitely deserve more than 400 subs and you completely earned mine. Please keep 'em coming, can't wait to see what's next!

26:46 - Powder's breakdown is one of the most visceral pieces of animation I've ever seen.

bullshit.
