    The opening credits also reference famous plays, notably tragedies. Caitlyn's hand-crown thing is Macbeth, Mel and Ambessa in their chairs could reference Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony respectively, Jinx raising her flag is Les Miserables and Victor with his mask allude to The Phantom of the Opera.

    Sevika crying out when the hexcore is freaking out is probably because her scars she received from powder’s monkey bomb embedded some hextech in her and so she’s physically reacting to the hexcore glitching instead of it just affecting her weapons like it does the others.

      If you look real closely at when she's in pain, the scars on her face are flaring up with the Hextech going out of control. Woman was probably feeling the pain of 5 of her being split apart AND still jumped in to protect Jinx not long after.

    @Hangler613 Місяць тому +404

    Not so much an Easter Egg but a very cool writing moment/usage of symbolism is when Ekko, Jayce, and Heimer first enter the hex gate core. You can hear Ekko tell Jayce how Piltover has made it so that whenever it rains, Zaun are the ones to get wet. However, in the first episode of the act after the Piltover council discusses invading Zaun, you can see Salo notice rain drops hitting his hand in the room; showing that for once Piltover is experiencing and noticing the consequences of their actions.

    • @jondough9545
      @jondough9545 Місяць тому +25

      I feel like alot of people forget about the power dynamic between Zaun and Piltover. They're currently technically the "same" empire, but the Zaunites are treated as 3rd class citizens and basically used for all the dirty/ dangerous labor and are alluded to be heavily repressed.
      My go to parallel is that it's almost like the hunger games. Piltover=Capitol
      Zaun=Districts
      Zaun does have a reason to rebel, but Silco was willing to damage and use his own people to gain enough power to make it happen.

    • @cartoonishidealism582
      @cartoonishidealism582 Місяць тому +39

      Yeah, it’s also worth noting how the councillors were affected in ways that resemble Zaunite characters.
      Salo was disabled, unable to walk without aid, much like Viktor.
      Shoola was disfigured, half of her face scarred, like Silco.
      Caitlyn lost a parent, like Vi and Jinx.
      It’s fine if the people from the Undercity suffer like that every single day, but the moment PILTOVER is forced to deal with the same thing? It’s an outrage.

      @@darksaint0124 Caitlyn is very clearly being "molded" into a leader to take down the undercity by Ambessa because she's blinded by her hatred, so her being "pliable" _does_ actually apply. Are you blinded by your bias for her like she is with her hatred lol? It's kinda obvious and this video literally points it out multiple times.
      If you're talking about when Mel said something along the lines of "we need someone with a fat, kind face", I don't think those words are meant to be taken literally. Caitlyn's family, the Kiramman's, are a powerful symbol in Piltover and they're very well off, hence the phrasing "fat face"; fat being a way to say wealthy and powerful.
      So yeah. Caitlyn fits the description perfectly. _You_ don't seem to know what those words mean

    TB Skyen is convinced that Viktor healing people is the hexcore feeding on them but really I find that kind of weird to think when the process of "evolving" these people who come to Viktor takes a very visible physical toll on him, if the Hexcore was being invigorated by the process we'd see Viktor swell with vitality not fall to his knees, gasping for breath. We see it again when he's helping Vander where navigating the interior of Vander's Warwick-mind is both dangerous and exhausting for him.
    The hexcore and the evolution thing definitely has some bad vibes with it but people are just way too quick to dogpile on Viktor & the commune and it annoys me.

    Something I don't think I've seen anyone else mention is that you can actually see fishbones start to glitch before it explodes. It's a bit hard to see but if you look really closely at its eyes, you can see the color within them rapidly change from blue to orange.

    When you talk about the leads releasing the grey you say it’s just to catch one person but it’s for the three reasons Cait lists. Dismantling shimmer, neutralizing agents of silco, and locating jinx. The first two happen in the little intro they do.

    Smeech is immortal tho, he just took a trip back to bandle city! This could probably be a way to show us how the yordle immortality works, although I doubt we're seeing Smeech again, so maybe not.

    i think fishbones didn't glitch at first because fishbones has two modes, normal which just shoots a none-hexcore powered explosion and the hexcore powered one which immediately glitched out when turned on.

    when Jayce pauses as he's hammering it's actually because he's bleeding while he works. If you watch closely, his bloodstain starts getting larger and he continues when he's contempt with working through the pain to make the gun for Cait.

    I gotta say: how did Caitlin shoot Powder's finger? Why was she aiming for her finger, and not a kill shot?
    My call? She wasn't aiming for the finger.
    Her emotion got carried away.
    Caitlin MISSED.
    That's why Vi is so concerned about her aiming.
    She shot Powder it the finger. Which does nothing for anyone.
    So Vi knew how close that child was to death when Cait took those shots. She knew she'd stepped over a line.

  • @scorpionlust7391
    @scorpionlust7391 Місяць тому +3

    this is a pretty commonly mentioned one, but in the scene where Caitlyn stares down at Vi after hitting her, her face softens for only a moment before turning away, suggesting she DOES feel remorse about what she did. (I'm grasping at straws for caitvi.)

    30:10 in here i dont think its a convenient thing, you can see moments before Jinx shoots Vi with Fishbones Vi's Atlas Gauntlets stop glitching out allowing her to dodge the missile from Fishbones, later on Fishbones does get affected by the glitching and it explodes from the inside

    1. We add a small, not important thing that you see for maybe 30 seconds (like Heimer's mask)
    2. EVERYTHING has a place in the world, so we add other small references and hints to explain the existence of said thing (Heimer later infiltrates the lab so he uses the same mask, it's actually Fireflies' mask that they gave him. It's decorated so we add painting tools to the Heimer's workshop to show that it was actually him who painted it, which shows to us his little quirks

    29:44 Caitlyn also blinks as the petal falls behind the mirror, so she missed the part where it's just a mirror that she is aiming at and not Jinx. Because of that moment of hesitation (Vi specifically told her to not hesitate), she shot the mirror and gave away her position and lost her advantage in the fight, turning it into a losing fight. Her and Vi lost that fight because she hesitated at the very start.

    Sevika was seen gambling multiple times durring season 1. She was seen playing cards, perhaps poker, gambling where skill matters. Jinx fixes her arm, and implements a slotmachine. A chaotic and uncontrollable way to gamble.

    I've never shot a lever-action before, but if you have your fundamentals down right, it's easy to keep your shots within an area the size of a quarter, like caitlyn's shots against the chempunk, from a stationary standing position.
    From a military perspective you're expected to keep your shots that precise to ensure you break body armor through repeated strikes. So Caitlyn doing this, while not too impressive realistically, is exemplary considering literally nobody else can shoot like that, except Jinx.

    8:40 The light flashes and blurry vision is probably because she got some chemicals in her eye when Jayce pulled out her nose tubes.
    22:08 That isn't a hammer. It is a spool of wire from a claw game. So, in combination with the Chomper, that is the roll for launching it. There is currently a minigame in league where you can play through Jinx collecting the items to construct the arm.
    25:34 The Chembarons may not be dead since the shot is the netlauncher and we saw alive goons from Episode 2. They may have been apprehended instead.
    30:47 It wasn't the hexcore, but a rapidly spinning globe in the Mage's hand.
    In Episode 2, Jinx says to Isha, "That's me," which is identical to what she said when Silco tried and failed to get her attention after she stole the Hexcore. She also sits in the same position after jumping from the rafters in his office.
