Jinx is one of the most tragic stories. The way mylo's voice is portrayed in her head along with all her psychosis and trauma is very powerful and heartbreaking.
Also she is the perfect example of how much potential society throws away by allowing inequality. Imagine if Jinx didn't have all this tragic fucked up background, if she grew up loved and supported. She is INCREDIBLY smart and ingenious. She could be creating new technology right along with Jayce and Viktor, probably surpassing them in some ways.
Every great partnership starts with "Who the hell are you??" Also, you're definitely thinking about Arcane the right way when you're questioning everyone's motives and plans but never assuming you already understand them based on a few interactions. It can be easy to jump to simple conclusions when the reality is much more complicated than it seems at first
season 2 trailer dropped yesterday, ofc don't watch it till you finish ep 9, also there's a 5ep documentary on the making of arcane season 1 called "bridging the rift" if you want to check it out or react to it, not many channels have reacted to it on youtube and it's really good if you want to know more details. Btw the 3 drunk dudes on the progress day air balloons @ 4:05 are a cameo of the directors of fortiche.
Nice! Might have to check that out, thank you! Yeah looking forward to seeing the new trailer when we have finished the series! Hoping to smash through it this week so hopefully shouldn’t be too long!
Lol I just want to say how cute and funny it is that you two are on the same wavelength and turn to look at each other at the same moment sometimes. 😂❤
I'd say a mix of Harley's persona, the Joker's plots, Batman's stealth, and Punisher's guns. Or, what a female Bruce Wayne adopted by a supervillain after his parents were killed could have become.
Victor does so much work! Why isn't he up on stage? Jayce literally asked him to come onstage...Victor said no. And from the look on his face he would rather be anywhere than center of attention.
The answer is simple. Yes, officially, as one of the main Hextech researchers he could be on stage, but he knows that people don't really want him there. He is the outsider, he is crippled, so... Piltover citizens probably would throw tomatoes at him.
The Vi 'reveal' on the boat is really well done if not confusing, using Vi's teenage face on the girl (as you are seeing it from Jinxs perspective). Looking back you can see she's much smaller than Jinx, and looks similar but different. Jayce revealing the gloves always makes me think of 'we can make the poors work harder'. Silko has eye injections of small amounts of shimmer in his eye due to the river toxins when he was being betrayed by Vander. To let Jinx do that shows a real level of trust he has in her. It is a Father / Daughter relationship he has with her. Silko is a bad guy, but it doesn't mean he is a 'bad guy'. Love your Jayce / Mel / Victor insights! It's a complicated trio, and Mel is a great character. That Vi reveal is brilliant as well. She recognised the big dude from the confrontation with Silko hence why she hit him right off the bat. And as others have said, S2 teaser has dropped and it looks like another banger.
Amazing! Can’t wait to check it out! Yeah we were confused for a second with the vi reveal but then it made sense. I think Jayce has good intentions with the glove but I can see how it could be seen as “look…they can do more now” I’m not a fan of the Silko and Powder dynamic but it does remind me of joker and Harley Quinn (but not in a romantic way). The trio is very interesting. Can’t wait to see how that unfolds. Love Vi and I can’t wait to see a lot more of her in the next episodes hopefully!
Thank you! This season is so good so far. I saw that a trailer came out for S2 so looking forward to checking that out when we have finished season 1!😃
Lovely reaction, good insights overall. One of the best things about Arcane's characters is how easy it is to see why they think what they think, and to agree with them--right up to the point where they go a step too far. It's almost like people do that sort of thing in real life... For me it's clear that Victor is a self-conscious introvert who is happier working and not taking a bow, but it's hard not to want it on his behalf. As I recall, Ella Purnell, the voice actor for Jinx, said they used Harley Quinn's voice as one of their references: earlier animated versions of the character, all of which derive from the late Arleen Sorkin's voice work, as well as Margot Robbie's live-action take in the first Suicide Squad movie (also obviously shaped by the animated work). I think it's most evident in Jinx's more manic moments, such as the "Happy Progress Day!" fireworks here.
Thank you for understanding Jinx’s need for physical affection and her trauma-induced attachment to Silco instead of immediately assuming weird shit is going on. most don’t pick up on that when watching this episode and it’s a shame
I partially interpret this as Jayce's naivete. He's the guy who called Piltover a land of "...equality" in E2. Viktor knows they won't be booed off the stage let alone have tomatoes thrown at them, but that bringing someone from the undercity on stage in such a public way is a faux pas.
I am of the opinion that in this point of their careers, Jayce and Viktor are too naive to realize that their creation can be used as a weapon. I believe the general consensus is that it has been around a 7-year time lapse. As psychotic as Powder has become, she also severe separation anxiety and needs someone to cling to. Viktor said it himself when Jayce asked if he wanted to join him, he said, "not in front of them." He's from the undercity and no matter what he's accomplished, they, the topsiders, will always look at him as a lower-class person.
Enjoying the reaction so far! One critique: you're very quick to assign characters the label of "good" or "bad." The characters in Arcane don't fit those kinds of easy moulds. They are all very human, very flawed, and shades of grey. Silco, for example, is (imo) the best character in the story because of his depth and complexity.
They never really say in the show but the timeskip is 6 to 7 years. Great reaction as always! Also, some new trailers and teasers for season 2 just dropped so if this video gets less interaction, you know its nothing u did
Yeah we wanna watch it but obviously can’t until we have finished the 1st series ☹️ but we will defo check it out! Ahhh ok 6/7 makes sense. Was thinking around 5 myself. Thanks! 😀
Viktor JUST SAID TO JAYCE that he didn't want to go up on stage. Why do people ask this question? He's there because he wants to see his work presented, not showboat a sickening body in front of all of Piltover.

So sad to see the direction she has gone. Can’t wait for vi and powder to cross paths! 😃

Professor Heimerdinger, named for OppenHEIMER and SchroDINGER, two famous scientists (you may have heard of a film about one of them recently :) )
I have indeed! Lol

@Reactsandgames Harley Quinn is the Spar own brand version of Jinx from Waitrose.
Im really enjoying your arcane reactions!! It’s a good time to watch it because arcane s2 marketing is starting to come out!!
Thank you! This season is so good so far. I saw that a trailer came out for S2 so looking forward to checking that out when we have finished season 1!😃

Thanks, Appreciate it! Yeah we definitely sensed some Harley Quinn vibes! lol.
I agree about Victor. I guess we just want him to want the recognition!
Love the reaction! I really hope you make more videos exploring more of League of Legends lore, cinematics, champions, etc.

Nice to see people who don't judge Jayce negatively. He's trying his best, he even wanted Viktor on stage with him.

Oh my God.. I love your insights.. hope you will also react in arcane season 2 this coming november... 😊❤
100% will be there!
Loving the reactions guys
Appreciate it Andy!

Thanks. Yeah I see your point. We change our opinion all the time lol. You’re right though. 👍🏻

They are not prepared for the end
Almost there😢
Fckkkkkkkk how can this couple damn so good looking. BOTH OF THEM!!! god is not fair :(
😂 don’t know about both but I appreciate you! 😃😂😃
Viktor JUST SAID TO JAYCE that he didn't want to go up on stage. Why do people ask this question? He's there because he wants to see his work presented, not showboat a sickening body in front of all of Piltover.
not necessarily b/c of a sickening body, it could be humbleness, which he seems to have a bit of. he just doesn't want to be the poster boy.
Finally 🔥🔥🔥
😎
I adore this show.
I loathe marcus
Enjoy the trauma.
