Imagine being Viktor: perfectly attuned to the Arcane, has everyone on the ropes, is guarded by his robot army that one-shots anyone by touching them, inches away from his goal. Then a kid he's never seen in his life comes from out of nowhere, zooms past his army like it's nothing, throws an impossible bomb at him and ruins his whole day.
I didnt mind Singed getting what he wanted because he was the only character whose motivation never changed throughout the entire series. Every decision he made was to advance his knowledge to bring back his daughter or to live long enough to be able to do it. Every other character's motivations shifted at some point. So if we can apply different themes to every character, his would be slow and steady wins the race.
@@SaguntoYT Yeah I am honestly also not the biggest fan of the ending overall (of the series and also for jinx). But it was entertaining and i'll just take that I guess
That 'imperfection tentacle' coming out of Victor's back is the backpack laser cutter Victor invented in season one at the same time Jayce invented the gauntlets.
At 33:30 that's one of the three-eyed ravens that Swain uses to see everything from a distance. Similar to the one in Game of Thrones. Swain foreshadowing for the next season about Noxus. Also the raven following the Noxus fleet across the sea, watching them.
The fact that AU-universe Viktor doomed and saved the world because he couldn't let go of Jayce because Jayce doomed and saved the world because he couldn't let go of Viktor is sending me! 😭😭 (Also putting The Line song on top of "why did you ever give me this?" Scene MATCHES PERFECTLY to the second they disappear is insane, why didn't the show use it in that scene?!)
cant wait to get home to watch this. Still cant get over how much dude on the left has changed from Arcane season1 to season 2, not just looks wise but emotional wise more so.
If I could have asked for anything. I would’ve really liked an episode that takes place almost entirely in Viktor’s mind while he was in that Hex-cocoon. I think that could’ve been a cool way to examine his transition from Scientist to Messiah.
I actually don't think that Viktor missed Ekko, there were 3 of these "threads". Jinx dodged one and it dissolved afterwards, then Warwick grabbed her and the one initially going for Ekko snatches onto Jinx. Ekko still MVP, absolute gigachad
I think Viktor's Glorious Evolution didn't acknowledge Ekko's existence, probably because he was involved with the Wild Rune parallel universe thing. Notice how it didn't get Jayce either, and Viktor had to do it himself.
@@anitaremenarova6662 or it could be because he was touched by the arcane similar to Jace. So Victor needs to be in direct contact with him for it to work
@@pabloc8808 Actually it did acknowledge Ekko - if you recall from Jayce's AU excursion, there's a shot where you see Jinx's blimp crashed into the hexgate, so we can presume that Ekko is there for the fight because he saves Jinx. In that timeline, he probably said the right things first to save Jinx - but didn't have the Z-drive. All of this reinforces the key thing that stopped Viktor in the end was the Z-drive, since we can tell from the fight on the rooftop that if Ekko didn't have the Z-Drive he would have been stopped by Viktor. Ekko was still there for the fight, and he was able to confront Viktor at the top because his "thread" that missed was because of Jinx's shimmer, not because of the Z-drive (in the hexgate, when Ekko was knocked out). Viktor does say that the "device" cannot be - he did still beat Ekko, just not without the Z-drive. It's great attention to detail.
Powder lives! 🙌 (For doubters: shimmer speed line zipping out of the explosion, Caitlin is investigating the ducts because they found the monkey bomb pieces but no Jinx/Powder body, the airship at the end is the same kind Powder announced in S1E1 she would ride on one day, and the final Jinx scribbles on the last frame of the reel)
Episode 1 Powder says she'll ride on an airship one day. Final episode ends with an airship after Caitlin is looking into the air ducts as escape routes. Jinx listened to Silco and walked away and left.
Isha dying was the moment Viktor realised he was wrong. I'm 99% sure that the Viktor talking at the end of Ep 6 is the older Viktor, because at that point younger Viktor had no chest cavity left and the VA is missing the robotic quality. Viktor could remove humanities weaknesses but in doing so he also removed humanities strengths. His army of mindless perfection couldn't do sacrifice nor was it capable of love. Isha was better than anything Viktor could ever produce, so he timey wimey fixed what he did.
Watch the new League trailer, Welcome to Noxus (Bite Marks)! Its sort of a continuation (with an Arcane character!) and hint at future shows! Also the same Arcane style animation!
Long rambling incoming, I love arcane and league so I like to talk about it lol. yessss you fully got the Jinx bit for sure she's alive, going frame by frame you can see a pink light jump through a vent before the explosion, based on league stuff we can assume she's likely headed to Demacia. Also my personal takes: they showed Jinx hitting the ground SUPER hard we all cringed whereas Vi had a better fall but got hurt when Jinx just stood up as if reminding the audience she's super durable and can survive most damage. The Swain crow showed up and started digging through the remains of the hammer to take something out, we never see what. I don't fully believe Jayce and Viktor are dead tbh but at the very least Swain will be interesting to see where that goes. Also side side note I'm curious about the anomaly itself. In the different realities we see Viktor give young Jayce stones with DIFFERENT runes each time. In the reality we're following he was given the acceleration rune. And the end of the world was only stopped when that was combined with Ekko's reverse acceleration rune. So I'm wondering if by combining the two it may have literally stopped time in that moment for Viktor and Jayce, or that it may have cancelled eachother out completely erasing both them and the anomaly. From this we can determine that only in a universe where Viktor always went back to save Jayce and admire and work with him and a universe where Ekko loved Jinx enough to break reality to get back to her can we ever get this ending. still can't get over Singed winning in life. good for him good for him I hope he has fun with whatever war crimes he gets up to next ep 9 or as I like to call it: the questioning the introduction of every new character of the season episode. Shout out to our boy Steb being the only character that ended up doing anything while still not mattering at all (I love this fish lol he had no reason to exist). Maddie was arguably the most developed secondary character because she has a goal, drive, shots of her thinking about her goal, and has a built up conclusion where she didn't really act as a point of story progression for the main crew (She's been confirmed noxian so she WAS a plant). I can't believe I have to praise the character made to be hated because thinking on that we have to consider: Why was Loris there. Why was Isha there. Why. The answer is plot convenience or to act as the emotion hinge which is not inherently bad but when they exist for that purpose and that it thats all to them their story and their character, with them being swiftly discarded after use, it makes you wonder if a story that relies on the introduction of a very simplistic plot device is doing all it can. Some part of me loves how random zaun npc guy from ep 8 - 9 got more character development and story than Loris across the entire season. Need to specify here arcane is show of the year for me, I still like to discus the flaws with series I enjoy. On top of that all these introduced characters are enjoyable but I'm just like. If you introduce a cute kid character for the sole purpose of taking them out back and shooting them for some kind of emotional reaction I'm going to question why that emotional reaction couldn't be built with what was already there. Personally I think season 2 would have been better without Isha or Vander at all to see how the zaun revolution/jinx villain to revolutionary story could have been but thats a personal take and not too relevant to discussion. Otherwise as much as I have personal issues with their Viktor portrayal, I find it funny that out of all relationships, platonic romantic or otherwise, Jayce and Viktor is 100% at the top lol. I'm not even a fan of the two together but fr the build up to them having that moment was so good. Anyways, Ekko MVP the GOAT fr fr.
@TheApol93 oh I meant the zaun dad who got shot and left behind his wife and kid! He had a bunch of tattoos, helped cait with the bomb but was shot through the neck, and had a send off in the name burning scene ^^ I give piano guy a pass as an insert character, thats fun and a cool nod to a team member even if it wasn't needed XD
@@TheApol93 It shouldn't be Jhin, it would retcon A LOT from the lore, which is also tied to a bunch of other champs, who you would also have to retcon as well. I like to think this pianist isn't Jhin, but rather a random guy with a heart of gold that decided to fight in a war without experience, nervous and scared, just because it's the right thing to do. It makes his character more heavy than just being Jhin, and you don’t have to be an important character with special equipment or abilities to be a hero. Also. Jhin is ionian, and he's probably imprisoned in ionia by this point in the story. Not to mention this guy seems rather young. So unless Jhin traveled to Piltover before the killing spree thing, went back to Ionia, started killing, and got imprisoned, he can't be Jhin. Riot did say at some point that Jhin was never going to get a face reveal because it would defeat the point of his character and the whole mysterious thing going on.
There's nothing to suggest Maddie is from Noxus to my knowledge. Do you have a source on where it was confirmed, since on the wiki and most other places they just state that "she's from Noxus" with nothing actually proving why. I don't think she was a plant from the start. I think she was converted by Ambessa in the time period while she was with Cait, as a means for Ambessa to both get closer to Cait as well as gather more information on Cait. Maddie was already shown to be enthusiastic for Piltover's cause, something that was pretty consistent throughout the series, so I think it's more likely that Ambessa latched onto that, and convinced Maddie that Noxus was the best choice for Piltover's success, using Maddie's patriotism/nationalism to her advantage.
Powder s1ep1 - airship flyes by - "I will ride it one day" - the last scene - airship leaves, "The End" title in Jinx style :) (during the explosion there was a pink line leaves the center, also Cait was checking the air vents on the Hexgate plans while holding one of Jinx's monkey bomb part)
The device on Viktor's back is the same as his invention from season 1 that he demonstrates to Heimerdinger as a tool that can be used to improve the lives of the people, so I feel like its inclusion in his final form demonstrates a corrupted inversion of his ideals, but also hypocritically a symbol of his inability to truly let go of his affection and humanity.
I'm pretty sure the stringy arm things didn't grab Jayce and Ekko because they had touched the Arcane. That's why it didn't grab Ekko and why Viktor has to physically touch Jayce himself
We actually see Jinx dodge one of them and then a second one turns and goes for her. That one could have been Ekko's that helped grab Jinx instead, buying Ekko some time. Ekko also could have just rewound before it ever got to him. Unless we see it on screen, we don't know when or if he's rewinding
My take on Arcane S2 is that it was good, but not as good as S1. It had better highs, but also lower lows. The finale wasn't as conclusive as S1, though that can be partially attributed to the upcoming Noxus spinoff. I still very much enjoyed my time with S2. As Jayce said, "There's is beauty in imperfections."
I kind of understand the whole imperfections speech but also what was wrong with trying to cure his body, like the whole perfect being thing got out of hand but healing his body to the point where he could breath and walk so he can live and survive
I think the idea is that there’s nothing wrong with trying to cure yourself of course, but even if you don’t, your imperfections and struggles are a part of who you are and what makes you the person that those around you admire. This is just my take tho
The idea is Viktor isn't broken because of his disease. There's nothing wrong with trying to cure it, but it doesn't make him lesser for having it. He felt lesser for being disabled and sick. Jayce is telling him he was never lesser. Those things didn't define him. How he kept pushing forward despite those things is what defined Viktor.
Isha's death is the only reason Jinx decided to fake her death and leave Piltover, it literally shaped the final decision of the most important character
nah, we needed Jinx to take a major nose dive and lose all hope and then get pulled back from the brink by her old dear friend Ekko who would use reasoning and memories to make her see the world in a more positive way - which we didn't get to see anyway so...
@@Harrison20101000 I honestly think Isha helped Jinx see where Vi is coming from and emphasize with her, it was just never said out loud. I just wish they had at least one conversation about their relationship.
Now that we've seen the Mel LoL trailers we know why she got so badly nerfed as a character. Machination would be hard to represent in a MOBA. Better go with flashy golden orbs instead. S2 is a good cartoon. S1 was a great tragic drama.
Setting aside that I myself am a Jayvik truther, whatever was going on in that last scene between Jayce and Viktor was infinitely gayer than the sex scene from last ep.
The same way people could consider The Last of Us a complete story. It's okay to only spend a certain amount of time with a character and see the end of a chapter in their lifes.
My guy still considers "and they lived happily ever after..." a peak ending. Season 1 ending was cathartic and emotionally well concluded. It answered everything it asked.
The whole show 100% could've happened with Isha staying alive, although Isha's character was definitely on a one-track path to getting herself killed at some point even if it was after the show had ended. Time and time again emulating her ideal version of Jinx, at the same time as ignoring her own safety. The direction she was heading in consistently just made that her destiny. Trying to be that hero. Even if she stayed throughout the entire season I could only imagine "you're going to get yourself killed", unless Isha's character stopped being the way she was. I wonder if Jinx could've helped Isha to change once Jinx herself had healed.
not that it maters but they have said that viktor and jayce are dead cant wait to see the next step in the world runeterra! i dont care to much about noxus but if its just half as good as arcane im going to love it
I'm a little blindsided by the thought of season 1 is a complete story with the second season just tacked on, like how even do you come to that conclusion in the season 1 ending it literally cuts off mid scene as the first shot is fired.
I'm so glad this series is done. I don't even get what people liked about this series in general, including season 1. I don't remember the characters, their relationships, the events, etc. being impressive. I remember what happens in some of the greatest animated/illustrated stories I've seen, like Berserk. I remember the character arcs and of course the eclipse. But Arcane? I guess the animation is great but...I don't care that much about animation. I'd rather watch something poorly animated with great characters and a great story like Berserk 97.
the storytelling in Berserk is on a completely different level, but Arcane is still good for the most part, it's somewhere around 6-7/10 in terms of writing, which is better than most popular shows. Season 1 had some great moments and dialogue too.
Imagine being Viktor: perfectly attuned to the Arcane, has everyone on the ropes, is guarded by his robot army that one-shots anyone by touching them, inches away from his goal. Then a kid he's never seen in his life comes from out of nowhere, zooms past his army like it's nothing, throws an impossible bomb at him and ruins his whole day.
Throws an impossible bomb at him and ruins his makeup in front of his boyfriend
Viktor: “That device can’t be”
Ekko: “Eat this time bomb bozo”
eheh "Timebomb"
Viktor: "I'm full build"
Ekko (team chat): "ganking Viktor"
Singed won while actively making everyone's life worse 😭
How to get everything you want in life;
Step One: Be the BIGGEST war criminal
Step Two: Know when to get the hell out
Lore accurate and game accurate
I didnt mind Singed getting what he wanted because he was the only character whose motivation never changed throughout the entire series. Every decision he made was to advance his knowledge to bring back his daughter or to live long enough to be able to do it. Every other character's motivations shifted at some point.

'Affection' truly did keep Jayce and Viktor together in the end 😢

Finally some quality discussion about the season.
Fun animation note is that, every time Ekko goes back in time, his hourglass face makeup gets slowly wiped off! Couple cool details like that.
"A wolf has no mercy."
The device on Viktor's back is the same as his invention from season 1 that he demonstrates to Heimerdinger as a tool that can be used to improve the lives of the people, so I feel like its inclusion in his final form demonstrates a corrupted inversion of his ideals, but also hypocritically a symbol of his inability to truly let go of his affection and humanity.
Ekko living up to his title
Jinx with that entrance was gold
Looking forward to the Noxus show

@@eetuv6075 the only thing cathartic was Jinx's resolution. Almost every other character had an incomplete arc
The whole show 100% could've happened with Isha staying alive, although Isha's character was definitely on a one-track path to getting herself killed at some point even if it was after the show had ended. Time and time again emulating her ideal version of Jinx, at the same time as ignoring her own safety. The direction she was heading in consistently just made that her destiny. Trying to be that hero. Even if she stayed throughout the entire season I could only imagine "you're going to get yourself killed", unless Isha's character stopped being the way she was. I wonder if Jinx could've helped Isha to change once Jinx herself had healed.
the victor timeloop with jace is a retcon. there is production footage of s1 showing the mage was Ryze, from LoL
not that it maters but they have said that viktor and jayce are dead
cant wait to see the next step in the world runeterra! i dont care to much about noxus but if its just half as good as arcane im going to love it
Isha HAD to die. So that Jinx could have her development.
I'm a little blindsided by the thought of season 1 is a complete story with the second season just tacked on, like how even do you come to that conclusion in the season 1 ending it literally cuts off mid scene as the first shot is fired.
I'm so glad this series is done. I don't even get what people liked about this series in general, including season 1. I don't remember the characters, their relationships, the events, etc. being impressive. I remember what happens in some of the greatest animated/illustrated stories I've seen, like Berserk. I remember the character arcs and of course the eclipse.
But Arcane? I guess the animation is great but...I don't care that much about animation. I'd rather watch something poorly animated with great characters and a great story like Berserk 97.
No one asked
the storytelling in Berserk is on a completely different level, but Arcane is still good for the most part, it's somewhere around 6-7/10 in terms of writing, which is better than most popular shows. Season 1 had some great moments and dialogue too.
Is this bait? It feels like bait but it's also super long
It's always a Berserk fan
