this show is 9 episodes of pure fucking magic. nothing in the last few years remotely touches this and it makes a case for being the greatest animated series of all time though we'll have to see how future seasons go
Marcus is following in his mentor's footsteps. Just like Grayson worked with Vander to help keep peace similarly Marcus is working with Silco to do the same. But by the time he realized that this deal is far more toxic and worse, it's too late. He's too deep in it to get out now.
Vander and Grayson had mutual respect for their positions and that they needed each other. Marcus has always just been Silco's beeotch from the get go.
This show does everything right that others have failed till now. -Strong Female characters, that arn't Mary Sues, and are actually nuanced characters with their strenghts and flaws. -Engaging World building that does makes sens and where the rules do not change for conviniences sakes. -Interesting characters interactions and banter, like real people would and not like exposition bots would do. -Amazing art style and stellar animation -Amazing sound design and mixing -Leave you wanting for more.
what i love about Vi is that her fighting style is 80% boxing. Of all anime/tv shows/movies , it's always some kind of martial arts or MMA (probably cuz it's got more of a WOAW factor) but besides a few knees or kicks to adapt during the fight she shows some pretty awesome to watch boxing skills.
I will offer some counter. Episode 5 here, the mid episode with Mel and Jayce I felt was a little cringe. Are two other points in later episodes that sort makes me go... eh... but not like EP5. I think this episode was the lowest of the set.
@@MarkusReese To understand that scene you will need more insight of film making or some art degree. Of course to average viewer it can be cringe, but that shit is top note of film imagery. There's a reason why this show remain 100% to critics review and 97% average audience. It will win any award that it's being nominated for sure.
@@MarkusReese ep 5 was one of my favorite because you can see Marcus and silco corruption and the counsil corruption and all the politics was so cool + vi is showing us the undercity and of course silco and jinx relationship. That's why it's one of my favorite épisodes.
youre the first reactors ive watched who noticed the similarities between vander-silco and jayce-viktor! i didnt think about how both parties are trying to revolutionise, make things better for their people, but their ambitions and willingness grow apart
I started watching this show after Spotify started giving me “Enemy” to listen to, and it became one my favourite songs from imagine dragons. And im so glad I watched this show. It’s so good
A probably unintentional symbolism in the scene where Jayce and Mel were talking while watching someone play a violin: Mel was playing Jayce "like a fiddle".
Another great reaction from you, guys! What I love the most is that yours appears very sincere and not made-up, and that means a lot for me. The show is starting to evolve to its final stage, for next episode will be the end of Act II. And I know you're gonna love it. By the way, Vi and Caitlyn relationship seems to me very organic and not forced at all, and that's a smart move from the creators of Arcane. This is a smart show indeed.
I feel bad for Marcuz honestly. He made a decision that he can't change. And now his daughter is involved with it. He was so young when Grayson died, and now he can't escape that mistake.
Oh he could change it, but the consequences are almost to much to bear if they 'happen'. Losing his daughter. In the pic on his desk, you see 'mom' floating above him and her. Implies she's passed too, mom's an angel. There's always a chance that if Marcus had flipped, Silco wouldn't have been able to do anything and Jinx wouldn't have killed a kid for him. I don't think Sevika either. That's why he had those crack heads there.
Marcus is a tragic character. He was a man with good intentions, but he felt powerless to challenge Silco, and thought it was better to go along to get along. There was potential in him to do good but alas...
You guys really should watch the Enemy music video. It has all new animations using assets from the show and the Imagine Dragon gang is there in their animated form.
Another great reaction to Arcane guys. Now that you have watced this episode, you should really watch/react to the Enemy official video. It contains lots of new footage on the tragedy of Powder/Jinx plus more of Imagine Dragons and JID
Well, when you look at the sentence and the way it was said then it does make sense that Sevika is the Number 2 because Jinx would be Silco's Number 1. Silco can't be Silco's Number 1 if uh... that makes sense.
Recently, a trailer of a movie called Everything Everywhere All at Once, a new A24 film, was uploaded, so if you don't mind, could you react to the trailer? I'm really looking forward to this movie
It's not that Viktor's passion to do more Hextech research is overtaking that of Jayce...it's that Jayce is becoming evermore mired in bureaucracy as he tries to keep his Hextech from being misused, and also ensures that they can still research it at all. . The fact is, research isn't free, and someone's got to get funding, and keep it all safe. Jayce wants to do the work, and he's certainly smart enough to do it...but there's nobody else to do the other part of the job. So, as Jayce falls deeper into that unavoidably necessary pit, Viktor finds more and more time to continue true research, without ever thinking of what his friend is doing for their sake.

Remember everyone, Vi and Caitlyn are just close friends. Like REALLY close friends. Like no space between them at all. 😉
we can all agree the less space between the better....
just gals being pals
Vi needs to hurry up and eat her “cupcake.”
@@michaelsinger4638 and Caitlyn needs to hurry up and eat her V…
I mean what
They were roommates

Finally someone noticed why Sevika don’t really like Jinx
I feel like they got off on the wrong...arm.

Glad someone else immediately thought of Annie from Community when Caitlyn did her accent as 'Matilda'
Viktor exploring the hextech while jayce is doing the sextech
🤣
arcane is easily the best show of the year
there is no bad episodes
for me even the last years
Agreed. Not even a "meh, this episode is okay..". Every episode delivers!!

‘Council is in session.’ ‘Viktor is there to get the work done, and Jayce is there GETTING THE WORK DONE.” I died 😂
This show just gets better as you go on can't wait for more!
"We got a partnership." oh boy, oh boy

Arcane - the best show for me.
loved Ray Chen playing the violin in the theater
I love Viktor so much, the next episodes broke me a little ngl

I first thought Viktor was gonna steal Jaycee stuff but now I see him as a good person and just hope he doesn't die

@@lilscenechick1995 right, those shimmer addicts were who he brought. With good reason.
@@lilscenechick1995 yep... his death was sad.

“That’s how a genius bangs: through the cosmos.” 😂😂
6:19 Me Singing Bea Miller's Playground. 🎼🎵🎶🎼
It’s them. It’s Imagine Dragons living the dream inside the world of Arcane
Y’all really need to react to the enemy music video! It has its whole animation for it from arcane!

It worked for Dwight Schrute
i cant wait too see theyr reaction to the 9th Episode
Silcos number 2 is Sevika
Are we still going to get a saturday episode next week on christmas?
Loving these reactions

@@LatetotheParty knowing what episode that is. thats gonna be a nice christmas present lol

I'm really looking forward to this movie
imagine away lol nice
this show is the full package, but critics don't want to touch it...wonder why that is?
Game adaptation, most critics don't care enough to touch it, but they will have to if Arcane get nominate in Emmy or Golden Global.
Uhuuuu...look at Caitlyn body shape hmmm....hahah! 😅
