Jayce and Viktor are the anomalies. Jayce shouldn't have made it out of that snowstorm, his story was destined to end there. Viktor's story was meant to end with his disease, he should have never survived for as long as he did. Jayce and Viktor HAD to give their lives to correct the timeline. One couldn't have survived without the other.
@@EgoJinpachi_that's literally what she did tho. Look at the timestamps, each episode lasted at least or near 20 minutes. You just go to show even if you give people exactly what they want, you can't always please everyone.
isha’s death literally always fucks me up. i just wanted them to be happy. also w 5 hour reaction. i love the “yapping/crying/hating with krysta” segments
Your style of reaction is not what I usually go for (not an insult at all, just preference), but you picked up on stuff some people seem to just not get for some reason, so this was super enjoyable! I hadn’t laughed out loud in a while watching UA-cam, but some of the comments you made were hilarious, great stuff :)
they didnt cancel the show. They're releasing more shows furhtering the universe. Most likely following mel. And theres strong evidence that Jinx is alive.
And from what I can tell they're doing next, it's gonna be taking place on the conflict between Noxus and Demacia. Surely, I hope we see my favorite LOL ship that is Garen X Katarina.
@@CB-eo6xomost likely Noxus and Ionia. Cause in the Lore Noxus attacks Ionia with the help of singed chem weapons. And Singed is now just part of Noxus.
1:45:58 Jayce was trying to help and save Viktor and everything he said was true. As head of the council it was Heimerdinger's responsibility to manage relations between piltover and the Undercity. But his love for science and mentoring lead to him being distracted and only focusing on piltover. He neglected the problems of the Undercity which lead to it going into decay and falling under the control of Silco. 4:31:02 Jayce is forced to reflect on his actions and mistakes and learn to get back up. From this moment he has changed from "The Man of Progress" to "The Defender of Tommorow".
LMFAO as if every councilor except heimerdinger didn’t use the undercity for profits to build their precious aristocracy, be it the mining colonies in the fissures that produced every single stone that Piltover was built with, the chem-factories, the ports and overall cheap Labour… Let me repeat that Piltover business magnates with council approval had entire Zaunite colonies LIVE in Mines filled with toxic gas that causes mutation, cancer, birth defects like US chemical weapons did in Vietnam? How do you think Viktor got his condition? it’s a coincidence that all heavy and toxic industry, foundries, mines, factories (except Hextech cause it’s too valuable) are located across the river as to not pollute their own streets? And on the topic of Viktor, why does Piltover have an Academy that is famously known to dislike undercity students to the point of social isolation like victor, if they even accept them regularly, while Zaun has no education facilities that we ever saw, only getting a University in League Lore after they gained independence? It’s a systemic issue; oppression, exploitation and segregation of one class by another. Trying to blame a single person or act as if it was not societally widely accepted if not pushed by every single council member, noble House and Industrialist including Caitlyn’s mother and Mel, is reductive and frankly childish.
I hate how people hate on Jayce for making Heimerdinger retire and then hate Jayce more by saying that Jayce should've listened...but then people convientaly forget that Heimerdinger...also didn't help and was just as complacent for not showing or actually doing shit to help his pupil not do stupid shit...there's a lot of factors and Heimerdinger is one of them...
3:02:01 i literally can't hate ANY of the characters because i feel bad for every single one of them, even Marcus, Ambessa, Singed and Silco i genuinely can't hate them, they all have their motivations, it's not black and white that's why i love Arcane
2:02:16 they cut a scene where he tried to save her from Silco which is why she calls him "the boy savior" here 4:55:21 they also cut their extended dialogue here and them painting each other
who said that? like i see comments everywhere about cut scenes, but all I know from the writer Amanda Overton is that those cut scenes don't exist really
Of all the reactions to this show, I'm astounded by how often you correctly predict plot points ahead of them being revealed. Goes to show just how locked in you are, its crazy
this is my new fav comfort video and ive been playing it in the background while doing things and everytime u say “youll figure it out girlypop” to sad powder i giggle every time
I can't believe a human did this. I hope you enjoyed being gutpunched for two days straight. And yes, you are absolutely right, the magic aspect of the show was underbaked compared to the MASTERFUL human stories. I think longer episodes in the second season would have worked out better. But hot damn, despite my gripes, nothing NOTHING beats Arcane in so many categories.
i've no seen 3 Binge reactions... they are kind of fun to watch... FFWDing through the whole thing to the good parts anyway. Still amazes me that no one who binges it, seems to grasp the meaning of the airship at the end.... but many of us who didn't... caught it right away. Wonder why that is?
I just knew about Ekko and Powder's dance: "This 4fps scene is a reference to the 4 sec time reversion but it also feels a lot like Ekko's desperate wish to stop time - 'do you ever wish you could just stay in one moment?' and ties back to his promise to never forget it, even when the memories become frames," tweeted another.
Has this actually been confirmed by the showrunners or any one from the Arcane team at Fortiche, though? 4 fps means 4 frames per second, so not really anything to do with 4 seconds except for the number which could just be a coincidence, and they chose to animate it in 4 fps because it just looks so good for that scene. If it had been 1 frame per 4 seconds, yeah I could have seen somewhat of a connection there to Ekko's 4s ability, but not 4fps. I might be wrong but to me this is just something that started with a comment and everyone keeps repeating as if it was a confirmed official statement but in truth it's just a theory that doesn't really add up when you start thinking about it
5:12:34 It wasn't cancelled just ended they planned to end it on season 2 but honestly season 2 should've either had more episodes or each episode should've been way longer than what we got.
well they had to cram it all in somehow, the moment they decided to give the fans actual full on CaitVi, they knew their Chinese owners would not be happy so... better get everything in there and after the heavy censoring tencent had to get done, to make it legal for their home market, it should be obvious, that they don't want to see Piltover ever again. So the mentioned possible standalone Movie, it should be safe to say, won't have anything to do with relationships...
@@thatonkgau5221They weren’t pressured at all. THEY wanted to finish it in s2, it was a choice with no pressure Last ep feels packed because the Noxian stuff will be explored in the next series
if you pay attention at the end where jinx falls with vander, split second before the explosion happens there's a pink light that dashes away from the center, its pretty missable if you don't notice it i believe it's a fact that she used her shimmer speed to get away from the explosion and convince Vi that Jinx and powder are dead, so that vi forgets about her and move on with her life with Cait instead, and then caitlyn in the end was checking the building and it shows 6 vents that lead out for ventilations systems, meaning she's alive, besides there is an integral character that jinx is yet to meet for her character growth in the lore
Just so everyone here is aware, this is the final season of Arcane because this is the last season that focuses on Jinx/Vi & Jayce/Viktor's storylines. Riot Games have announced that 3 series in this narrative universe are currently in development, they'll be set in Noxus (likely the next one, as this is where Mel's family is from), as well as Demacia and Ionia. One of them is supposedly live-action, but we don't know which yet.
It's funny in the moment, but it's always disappointing when people refuse to try and reflect on his character's arc. People beg for strong storytelling and then completely it when they get it once they've got a first impression stuck in their head, it's such a waste. Lol.
@LockeNarshe I haven't finished the video but I give people a break if it's their first watch through. It's hard to reflect and notice the nuances and character work on frustrating characters on the first time through.
@@LockeNarshe and I’m sure you got everything on your first watch without rewatching the series or watching videos that broke down each character’s arcs and motivations yes? Istg our community can come off so pretentious sometimes..
@@maries6368 No one whom watches this show catches everything their first time. If you're asking if I was able to see the nuance in Marcus' character on my first viewing? Yes, of course. They put a lot of effort into showing you that the man was trapped in a box and was trying to redeem himself for what he'd done to get Grayson killed. You're the twat attempting to be pretentious here. It wasn't sly or subtle. It wasn't a hidden 'nod' that you had to watch multiple times to see. This reactor binged it, so they didn't even have the excuse that they forgot waiting between episode arcs.
@@silver9wolf6 That's just typically a lack of empathy and understanding into someone else's situation. Especially someone that forms an intentional bad impression on you & then you write everything they do off as bad. New information is just as important as the first information you learn about a character. You get tired of hearing the overwhelming majority of reactors miss the point of his character. It's the same people that believe Silco's "evil" and "irredeemable", not just a man pushed to desperation to get his people out of the hellhole they've been in.
Politics: the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power. Governance: the process of making decisions that affect the outcomes of a society, such as economic, social, and environmental outcomes. In other words...EVERY choice made for more than one person is governance, and people trying to work out who makes those choices is politics, so...EVERY interaction in a society is politics. When people display their politics in art, it's absolutely natural and normal.
Gyatt damn literally uploaded the whole thing? BOTH SEASONS?! Earned a sub, like, share, everything for that. Well done. Had to be an editing and rendering nightmare lmao
Great reaction. You've got really good memory to remember minor details like the song and drink/cup that Vander gave to both Powder and her mom. Fyi another good animated series to react to is RWBY
I'm completely flabbergasted by how phenomenal this show has been both artistically and in terms of its storytelling, Im so happy I finally caught up watching the show and understood why this show is *PEAK FICTION!* I don't know if I've ever been so enamoured by such a show like Arcane and felt so much for all these fantastic characters l, and this is coming from someone who's never played League of Legends or knows anything about the lore to begin with. I just finished binge watching Arcane a couple of weeks ago and now that it's over, I'm truly saddened to know this is the last season because I desperately want to see more of these characters, and if the games are good, even though Ive been warned by friends how bad the original League of Legends game is😂 Ekko absolutely was the MVP of this show as he came in clutch when it came to stopping Viktor and truly earned the title of *Boy Saviour!!!* Granted, I do think Season 2, while being extremely good, had a few problems and some storylines were told rather quickly with some characters feeling less explored but still ultimately gave a very solid ending to this show despite only being 2 seasons and while I wish the ending was a bit longer. This show manages to reach a level of quality writing, storytelling, animation, voice acting and emotional connection I never knew I could have for a show like this since I have no prior knowledge of League of Legends. Arguably the best-animated series of the year, this show should be examined and celebrated in a masterclass of animation, storytelling and world-building. Generational show ❤️💙🥹
its kinda suspicious if you think about it, like how on earth was she be able to predict almost every plot twist in the show cmon, something doesnt seems right, the thing that threw me off was when she predict viktor being the sorcecer all along, that was a wild guess yet so convinient accurate imo
@@luissmith3281Viktor being the sorcerer isn’t that surprising of a plot twist since he became basically a god in the begging of season 2. The only two people it could have been was a future Jayce or future Viktor
@@luissmith3281 again it’s not that hard to figure it out if you pay close enough attention to the show. The mage had a walking stick like Viktor, the mage had pale skin like Viktor (so it couldn’t be Jayce because he has light brown skin), the mage has a lean male body like Viktor, the mage saved Jayce when he was a child (something Viktor would have done because of their close bond), the fact that this show loves doing parallels and callbacks and tying up “loose ends” (i.e finding out who the person was that saved Jayce and his mom) Add all that up + Viktor’s god like abilities in act 1&2 and the answer is logically Viktor
Jinx's process of death is the most fascinating approach to writing about death I have seen. She keeps the memories of her two friends alive and in her head basically at all times. She can hear what they would say if they were still alive. She most often hears Milo whenever she is scared or insecure about anything because Milo used to always chime in with an insult to belittle Powder. So she hears that mocking every time through Milo's hallucination.
So "Arcane" is ended, but they will be making more stories in this universe. It just won't be "Arcane", but we may have similar characters in other nations, like Mel going back to Noxus and all the black rose stuff.
It’s so interesting because the community was so split up about Jayce in this season. We despised this man at the end of the second act of season two… even led to the infamous Jayce pfp incident. I just have a stance about it. Jayce 100% had reason to do what he did… but I believe he still fell to his flaw from plenty times before. Acting before actually thinking. We see what Viktor became and it absolutely was dreadful.. but people also defend Jayce by saying the people Viktor saved wasn’t actually there but I disagree. The hexcore completely erased Sky but kept her subconscious in the Arcane. I 100% believe everyone was there, they just all had a shared knowledge.. making them more wise and “bigger picture”. Overall point for me is, I don’t think Viktor was doomed to become what he was in the future. The show strongly implies that Viktor didn’t come to his “everyone needs to evolve” mindset until Jayce intervened, making him connect love and hate as if they are exactly one and the same. He had the capacity to actually help and save people, and Sky helped him stay on the straight path. Even IF Sky wasn’t actually there and was a metaphor of Viktor’s mind… it was still a symbol of his humanity. I’m arguing Jayce did worsen the events but truth be told.. this is still just a theory because it seems as though Viktor knew factors that we the viewer doesn’t know. It’s a headache to try to think of them all lmao
I believe it wouldn't have come to this if jayce/ambessa didint attack the commune, the people he helped person is still there at this point I'd like to think, but he only comes to the conclusion emotions are the problem at the end of episode 6 everything before that he thought otherwise Idk if I worded that poorly but I think you get my point
@@justhaku9240I fully believe that it still would've gone down this way even if Jayce didn't intervene or if Jayce actually tried to use his reason for once. Ambessa and The Doctor/Singed wouldn't have stopped at anything to get what they want, and the actions they would've taken at the commune could've still become the catalyst for Viktor realizing that he needs to proceed with Glorious Evolution to save humanity from its self corrupting nature.
Now that I’m thinking about it , I like to imagine Ekko carrying haimerdinger in his arms like a puppy while riding his thingy back home on the first season … i can’t get that image out of my mind 😅 Also Warwick waiting on the elevator with elevator music , just waiting to get to the floor very civilized
Coming back to season 1 I have to wonder in a world without cellphones how Jayce managed to know to bail on Mel in bed and visit Victor in the hospital. A guard had to be looking for Jayce to tell him Victor is sick and another guard had to be like "ah man, Jayce is knee deep in the Noxian good-good... maybe knock?"
Just want to point out that Warwick comes out of the elevator the enforcers just came out of a few seconds before, so no he didn't get on like a civilized person but he jumped down and ripped the elevator/door to pieces
They didn't cancel the show, they actually had to fight hard to end it where they did as everyone and their mom wanted it to keep going but the original team had a very specific story they wanted to tell, and this was the end of it. The story is meant to come full circle, the airship flying away is a callback to the beginning when Powder says "Some day I'll ride on one of those", the show is insinuating that she is on that ship at the end, hence why you get the flash of "Jynx Art" THE END.
Lady, impressive. Especially your take on S1E3 and blame and fault and relationships. You got what legions of reactors couldn't. Bowing in respect for your insight and stamina.
2:14:34 "Here comes Vi" that's actually the name of the song for Vi when she was released for League of Legends. 2:35:49 "Get Jinx" which sounds like "Get Jinxed"... the name of the song for Jinx when she was released. I just found it funny.
I know but this type of show takes so long to produce and I think it is only in the development stage now. Although, with a few releases to LoL lore and updates to the game, perhaps the next series is not as far away as we may think.
On rewatches i knew there was recurring characters like the jaw guy we see vi beat up like 3 times, or huck of course the most obvious of them, but it wasnt until this reaction 1:26:02 that i realized even piano boy was showns all the way back in season 1. Makes me wonder if we ever see the emo dad who gets an arrow in the head anywhere in the series, or maybe even the fake vander shield guy in the background Sidenote the regular marcus crashouts during season 1 had me dying every time 😂
The character during that timestamp is meant to be Ray Chen, the musician who played most of the Violin progressions in Arcane and, most notably, the Violin in "What Could Have Been." He is not the same as the piano guy. This one is an homage to Ray Cen, whereas the piano one might just have been there to show how sometimes simple civilians also fight in war.
ik a lot of ppl don’t play LOL but there is an AMAZING cinematic they released that’s basically like Mel’s trailer into the game and start of the new season ! but it’s amazing and shows some of the other characters possibly teasing a new show
SOOOOO MUCH HAS HAPPENED TODAY I got 700 subs, Cory came back!, I went to two parties, and I got a 5hr video to watch from Krysta!?? What’s next I get a billion dollars in my bank account
Thank you for keeping it real @3:40:04. Season 2's timing makes it hit so much harder. Especially when Episode 7 shows us a better timeline in the show, reminded us that we are *not* in the best timeline IRL. Arcane, why did you choose to hurt us?
I commend the emotional resilience to go through this in a couple of sessions. Bravo girl 👊 I subbed out of pure respect for this but also, top tier reaction
Cait using chemicals warfare “whoa, clever girl”; Cait almost shooting a child “let’s be honest, she would have hit the target”; Cait talking bad about Vi “yo girl, you’re losing the plot”; Cait sleeping with someone that’s not Vi “GRRHANBBDJFOENE!!!!!!”
I also really wanted this show to have Piltover and Zaun truly come together and acknowledge the oppression that is shown. But the issue is having this be canon to a preestablished world where some core things must remain constant, such as the state of Zaun as a smoggy, slummy underbelly run by corrupt crimelords and neglected by the capitalist nobles in Piltover, who are more than happy to let Zaun rot. But despite having to exist in a world where some things cannot really be changed without making so many things not make sense (a lot of Piltover & Zaun champions are already kind of in limbo), I think the writers did a phenomenal job within those constraints. 97/100 for season 1 91/100 for season 2
What a great reaction and commentary easily my top 5. I love that you share your opinions, insights, feelings and perspective to every scene, topics/themes of the show and its characters specially Caitlyn and the sisters. Yes, they are already working on another series for over a year now and they plan to move to Noxus next (plus another region) so we might see Mel again. Although in original lore Jinx, Vi, Cait and others wasn't involved in Noxus story, but the writers/creators said that they're planning to make a spinoff and continue the Jinx/Ekko story. In terms of Cait/Vi, there's still so much lore within the Piltover and Zaun alone that wasn't included in series maybe because of the timeline since it was an origin story of these characters. So we might see the couple once again in the future spinoffs. Anyways, love your reaction 😄

😭😭 I love how stylistic choices as to how many frames to use in a scene means so much
Has this actually been confirmed by the showrunners or any one from the Arcane team at Fortiche, though?
4 fps means 4 frames per second, so not really anything to do with 4 seconds except for the number which could just be a coincidence, and they chose to animate it in 4 fps because it just looks so good for that scene.
If it had been 1 frame per 4 seconds, yeah I could have seen somewhat of a connection there to Ekko's 4s ability, but not 4fps.
I might be wrong but to me this is just something that started with a comment and everyone keeps repeating as if it was a confirmed official statement but in truth it's just a theory that doesn't really add up when you start thinking about it
@@Attya-y2ythe thing is in arcane with anything involving ekko there’s always something resembling 4 seconds or the number 4 in general
While you Binge watch all of arcane I’ll be bing watching this whole video 😂🍿
Same!!
5:34 Cmon man bro just left a sandwich just sitting in his room 😭
I cant stop trying to find arcane reactions:]
I might be a bit addicted
4:14:11 had me cryimg
5:12:34 It wasn't cancelled just ended they planned to end it on season 2 but honestly season 2 should've either had more episodes or each episode should've been way longer than what we got.
at least episode 9 of s2 was supposed to be at least 1h30min with more Ekko/Jinx talk and action and such
@@firecat4529 It was only 50 minutes in the end.
There was so much cut as well. We would’ve watched every hour they didn’t need to cut it unless Netflix forced them to.
@@beethewizard Netflix most definitely cut stuff out.
@ Now I wonder if we’ll ever get to see a director’s cut because I’m sure we all want to see it.
The last episode shouldve been a whole arc in itself
Exactly I know the creators were pressured to finish it all in one season but they could've at least given us more episodes.
Yeah I wish S2 had more time to let things play out
well they had to cram it all in somehow, the moment they decided to give the fans actual full on CaitVi, they knew their Chinese owners would not be happy so... better get everything in there and after the heavy censoring tencent had to get done, to make it legal for their home market, it should be obvious, that they don't want to see Piltover ever again. So the mentioned possible standalone Movie, it should be safe to say, won't have anything to do with relationships...
@@thatonkgau5221They weren’t pressured at all. THEY wanted to finish it in s2, it was a choice with no pressure
Last ep feels packed because the Noxian stuff will be explored in the next series
if you pay attention at the end where jinx falls with vander, split second before the explosion happens there's a pink light that dashes away from the center, its pretty missable if you don't notice it i believe it's a fact that she used her shimmer speed to get away from the explosion and convince Vi that Jinx and powder are dead, so that vi forgets about her and move on with her life with Cait instead, and then caitlyn in the end was checking the building and it shows 6 vents that lead out for ventilations systems, meaning she's alive, besides there is an integral character that jinx is yet to meet for her character growth in the lore
I've seen a bunch of these reactions, and I gotta say, you are one of the most perceptive viewers. Great work
girl stop crying, i've rewatched this show so many times but i'm starting to cry with you too 😭😭😭😭
Just so everyone here is aware, this is the final season of Arcane because this is the last season that focuses on Jinx/Vi & Jayce/Viktor's storylines. Riot Games have announced that 3 series in this narrative universe are currently in development, they'll be set in Noxus (likely the next one, as this is where Mel's family is from), as well as Demacia and Ionia. One of them is supposedly live-action, but we don't know which yet.
The marcus rants were my favorite part of the video lmaoooo
It's funny in the moment, but it's always disappointing when people refuse to try and reflect on his character's arc. People beg for strong storytelling and then completely it when they get it once they've got a first impression stuck in their head, it's such a waste. Lol.
@LockeNarshe I haven't finished the video but I give people a break if it's their first watch through. It's hard to reflect and notice the nuances and character work on frustrating characters on the first time through.
@@LockeNarshe and I’m sure you got everything on your first watch without rewatching the series or watching videos that broke down each character’s arcs and motivations yes?
Istg our community can come off so pretentious sometimes..
@@maries6368 No one whom watches this show catches everything their first time. If you're asking if I was able to see the nuance in Marcus' character on my first viewing? Yes, of course. They put a lot of effort into showing you that the man was trapped in a box and was trying to redeem himself for what he'd done to get Grayson killed. You're the twat attempting to be pretentious here. It wasn't sly or subtle. It wasn't a hidden 'nod' that you had to watch multiple times to see. This reactor binged it, so they didn't even have the excuse that they forgot waiting between episode arcs.
@@silver9wolf6 That's just typically a lack of empathy and understanding into someone else's situation. Especially someone that forms an intentional bad impression on you & then you write everything they do off as bad. New information is just as important as the first information you learn about a character. You get tired of hearing the overwhelming majority of reactors miss the point of his character. It's the same people that believe Silco's "evil" and "irredeemable", not just a man pushed to desperation to get his people out of the hellhole they've been in.
If someone ever tells you “art” isn’t political, you have free license to disregard anything they ever say.
💯
REAL AF
"is" and "should be" isn't the same though
Politics: the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.
Governance: the process of making decisions that affect the outcomes of a society, such as economic, social, and environmental outcomes.
In other words...EVERY choice made for more than one person is governance, and people trying to work out who makes those choices is politics, so...EVERY interaction in a society is politics. When people display their politics in art, it's absolutely natural and normal.
Gyatt damn literally uploaded the whole thing? BOTH SEASONS?! Earned a sub, like, share, everything for that. Well done.
Had to be an editing and rendering nightmare lmao
Great reaction. You've got really good memory to remember minor details like the song and drink/cup that Vander gave to both Powder and her mom. Fyi another good animated series to react to is RWBY
This is genius. Can't wait to watch ALL 5 HOURS.
edit: the Silco name confusion was killing
I'm completely flabbergasted by how phenomenal this show has been both artistically and in terms of its storytelling, Im so happy I finally caught up watching the show and understood why this show is *PEAK FICTION!*
I don't know if I've ever been so enamoured by such a show like Arcane and felt so much for all these fantastic characters l, and this is coming from someone who's never played League of Legends or knows anything about the lore to begin with. I just finished binge watching Arcane a couple of weeks ago and now that it's over, I'm truly saddened to know this is the last season because I desperately want to see more of these characters, and if the games are good, even though Ive been warned by friends how bad the original League of Legends game is😂
Ekko absolutely was the MVP of this show as he came in clutch when it came to stopping Viktor and truly earned the title of *Boy Saviour!!!*
Granted, I do think Season 2, while being extremely good, had a few problems and some storylines were told rather quickly with some characters feeling less explored but still ultimately gave a very solid ending to this show despite only being 2 seasons and while I wish the ending was a bit longer. This show manages to reach a level of quality writing, storytelling, animation, voice acting and emotional connection I never knew I could have for a show like this since I have no prior knowledge of League of Legends.
Arguably the best-animated series of the year, this show should be examined and celebrated in a masterclass of animation, storytelling and world-building. Generational show ❤️💙🥹
"He over here makin a fuckin dark souls boss" I died irl
Love how mel goes from as you said "gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss" to just THE girlboss
Character 👏 development 👏
you never lost the plot. you lowkey predicted everything.
its kinda suspicious if you think about it, like how on earth was she be able to predict almost every plot twist in the show cmon, something doesnt seems right, the thing that threw me off was when she predict viktor being the sorcecer all along, that was a wild guess yet so convinient accurate imo
@@luissmith3281Viktor being the sorcerer isn’t that surprising of a plot twist since he became basically a god in the begging of season 2. The only two people it could have been was a future Jayce or future Viktor
@@Terriblegam2r ik but, she guessed that in the 2nd act, viktor was only the healer then
@@luissmith3281 again it’s not that hard to figure it out if you pay close enough attention to the show. The mage had a walking stick like Viktor, the mage had pale skin like Viktor (so it couldn’t be Jayce because he has light brown skin), the mage has a lean male body like Viktor, the mage saved Jayce when he was a child (something Viktor would have done because of their close bond), the fact that this show loves doing parallels and callbacks and tying up “loose ends” (i.e finding out who the person was that saved Jayce and his mom)
Add all that up + Viktor’s god like abilities in act 1&2 and the answer is logically Viktor
bro said “y’all getting the whole package, that’s it” 😭
Props to Krysta, binging this show is DANGEROUS
SOBBING AND THROWING UP - I BINGED WATCHED ALL OF SOBBING AND THROWING UP - I BINGED WATCHED ALL OF ARCANE S1+S2
3:09:44 “that’s smart” girl that’s a war crime 💀
Jinx's process of death is the most fascinating approach to writing about death I have seen. She keeps the memories of her two friends alive and in her head basically at all times. She can hear what they would say if they were still alive. She most often hears Milo whenever she is scared or insecure about anything because Milo used to always chime in with an insult to belittle Powder. So she hears that mocking every time through Milo's hallucination.
5 WHOLE HOURS?!? THANK YOU FOR EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT
WE WERE SO ROOBED AT THE GAME AWARDA LOL
Krysta immediately thirsting over Vander is SO REAL
I know what I’m watching for the rest of the night! What an unexpected treat!
Lorddddd this is about good 😭🤣you are officially traumatised like of us
So "Arcane" is ended, but they will be making more stories in this universe. It just won't be "Arcane", but we may have similar characters in other nations, like Mel going back to Noxus and all the black rose stuff.
It’s so interesting because the community was so split up about Jayce in this season.
We despised this man at the end of the second act of season two… even led to the infamous Jayce pfp incident.
I just have a stance about it.
Jayce 100% had reason to do what he did… but I believe he still fell to his flaw from plenty times before.
Acting before actually thinking.
We see what Viktor became and it absolutely was dreadful.. but people also defend Jayce by saying the people Viktor saved wasn’t actually there but I disagree. The hexcore completely erased Sky but kept her subconscious in the Arcane.
I 100% believe everyone was there, they just all had a shared knowledge.. making them more wise and “bigger picture”.
Overall point for me is, I don’t think Viktor was doomed to become what he was in the future. The show strongly implies that Viktor didn’t come to his “everyone needs to evolve” mindset until Jayce intervened, making him connect love and hate as if they are exactly one and the same.
He had the capacity to actually help and save people, and Sky helped him stay on the straight path. Even IF Sky wasn’t actually there and was a metaphor of Viktor’s mind… it was still a symbol of his humanity.
I’m arguing Jayce did worsen the events but truth be told.. this is still just a theory because it seems as though Viktor knew factors that we the viewer doesn’t know. It’s a headache to try to think of them all lmao
I believe it wouldn't have come to this if jayce/ambessa didint attack the commune, the people he helped person is still there at this point I'd like to think, but he only comes to the conclusion emotions are the problem at the end of episode 6 everything before that he thought otherwise
Idk if I worded that poorly but I think you get my point
@@justhaku9240I fully believe that it still would've gone down this way even if Jayce didn't intervene or if Jayce actually tried to use his reason for once. Ambessa and The Doctor/Singed wouldn't have stopped at anything to get what they want, and the actions they would've taken at the commune could've still become the catalyst for Viktor realizing that he needs to proceed with Glorious Evolution to save humanity from its self corrupting nature.
This show has explored Piltover, Zaun and Noxus. Theres still a lot to cover. Demacia. Pirates. The Frejlord.
This has completely made my day❤🥹
Now that I’m thinking about it , I like to imagine Ekko carrying haimerdinger in his arms like a puppy while riding his thingy back home on the first season … i can’t get that image out of my mind 😅
Also Warwick waiting on the elevator with elevator music , just waiting to get to the floor very civilized
Coming back to season 1 I have to wonder in a world without cellphones how Jayce managed to know to bail on Mel in bed and visit Victor in the hospital. A guard had to be looking for Jayce to tell him Victor is sick and another guard had to be like "ah man, Jayce is knee deep in the Noxian good-good... maybe knock?"
Just want to point out that Warwick comes out of the elevator the enforcers just came out of a few seconds before, so no he didn't get on like a civilized person but he jumped down and ripped the elevator/door to pieces
Exciting news for you, I just took my Science GED test today and I passed the first time! 😁😁😁😁
Happy for you dude!!! 🎉
Mr man of tomorrow over here
They didn't cancel the show, they actually had to fight hard to end it where they did as everyone and their mom wanted it to keep going but the original team had a very specific story they wanted to tell, and this was the end of it.
The story is meant to come full circle, the airship flying away is a callback to the beginning when Powder says "Some day I'll ride on one of those", the show is insinuating that she is on that ship at the end, hence why you get the flash of "Jynx Art" THE END.
I love the persona 5 background music in the intro... Makes me want to play it again ❤
Suchhhhhh an amazing game
i found you from your persona playthroughs but im a league player so like woah girl u always keeping me fed its crazy
Lady, impressive. Especially your take on S1E3 and blame and fault and relationships. You got what legions of reactors couldn't. Bowing in respect for your insight and stamina.
lol, i think that one guy from the council wasn't a robot. i suppose he used machine parts as a substitute to replace his "bad" body parts.
I love how it went from “yapping with Krysta” to “hating with Krysta “
I love the segments that say "Yapping with" "Hating with" and "Crying with" lmao. It reminds me of Reality TV confessionals.
2:14:34 "Here comes Vi" that's actually the name of the song for Vi when she was released for League of Legends.
2:35:49 "Get Jinx" which sounds like "Get Jinxed"... the name of the song for Jinx when she was released. I just found it funny.
The next series may focus on Noxus. Now we have wait; there is definitely another series coming and the creators are developing a feature film.
Yeah I think it'll be Noxus
I can’t wait for what they have next!
I know but this type of show takes so long to produce and I think it is only in the development stage now. Although, with a few releases to LoL lore and updates to the game, perhaps the next series is not as far away as we may think.
Takes about 3 years to make a season and their already a year into development @@beethewizard
On rewatches i knew there was recurring characters like the jaw guy we see vi beat up like 3 times, or huck of course the most obvious of them, but it wasnt until this reaction 1:26:02 that i realized even piano boy was showns all the way back in season 1. Makes me wonder if we ever see the emo dad who gets an arrow in the head anywhere in the series, or maybe even the fake vander shield guy in the background
Sidenote the regular marcus crashouts during season 1 had me dying every time 😂
The character during that timestamp is meant to be Ray Chen, the musician who played most of the Violin progressions in Arcane and, most notably, the Violin in "What Could Have Been." He is not the same as the piano guy. This one is an homage to Ray Cen, whereas the piano one might just have been there to show how sometimes simple civilians also fight in war.
Each of these episodes is like nearly a hour . Wow That’s dedication
"bringing your own soundtrack to a battle is fucking nuts" lmfao
ik a lot of ppl don’t play LOL but there is an AMAZING cinematic they released that’s basically like Mel’s trailer into the game and start of the new season ! but it’s amazing and shows some of the other characters possibly teasing a new show
SOOOOO MUCH HAS HAPPENED TODAY I got 700 subs, Cory came back!, I went to two parties, and I got a 5hr video to watch from Krysta!?? What’s next I get a billion dollars in my bank account
I don't know you
But it sounds like you are having a good day and I'm happy for you
@ definitely needed it 🙏🏽😭
Thank you for this! This is literally keeping me sane during the holidays. Bless 🙌
Vander: I've always liked the name violet
Silco: *does a line of Cocaine* What about powder
Its insane that i watched the first season in the beginning of my first enlistment then season 2 finally camw out until i got out of the Marines😂😂
Lol
Thank you for keeping it real @3:40:04.
Season 2's timing makes it hit so much harder. Especially when Episode 7 shows us a better timeline in the show, reminded us that we are *not* in the best timeline IRL.
Arcane, why did you choose to hurt us?
I actually watched the whole thing even though I rewatched this show often before... I'm normal XD Loved your reactions so much!
“She was just a girl in love who ended up being vaporized by her mad scientist crushes AI bullshit” is an insane sentence 😂
I commend the emotional resilience to go through this in a couple of sessions. Bravo girl 👊 I subbed out of pure respect for this but also, top tier reaction
"so like was that not y'alls cat..?" SO REAL
Going to need a "Yapping with Krysta" counter 😂
Cait using chemicals warfare “whoa, clever girl”; Cait almost shooting a child “let’s be honest, she would have hit the target”; Cait talking bad about Vi “yo girl, you’re losing the plot”; Cait sleeping with someone that’s not Vi “GRRHANBBDJFOENE!!!!!!”
“The Kirammans must be somebody!” Not me bein’ like nah she gonna love Cait 😂
WE ARE BEING FED, GIFTED, BLESSED, SAVED, PROTECTED, LOVED, APPRECIATED, SHELTERED, TUCKED INTO BED AND TOLD A GOODNIGHT STORY
😂🥰
I also really wanted this show to have Piltover and Zaun truly come together and acknowledge the oppression that is shown. But the issue is having this be canon to a preestablished world where some core things must remain constant, such as the state of Zaun as a smoggy, slummy underbelly run by corrupt crimelords and neglected by the capitalist nobles in Piltover, who are more than happy to let Zaun rot.
But despite having to exist in a world where some things cannot really be changed without making so many things not make sense (a lot of Piltover & Zaun champions are already kind of in limbo), I think the writers did a phenomenal job within those constraints.
97/100 for season 1
91/100 for season 2
Season 1 is a 96/100 and Season 2 is a 100/100 for me
"The second and final season. They cancelled it?"
They didn't cancel it. Arcane was only written to be two seasons.
4:44 - Yes, this (4:33) is foreshadowing this (5:12:19)
Edit: This (5:12:22) also feels similar to dear friend across the river…
i love when react channels do these long videos its always an immediate subscribe and like from me lol
A binge watch video that is actually a binge watch wow!
What a great reaction and commentary easily my top 5. I love that you share your opinions, insights, feelings and perspective to every scene, topics/themes of the show and its characters specially Caitlyn and the sisters.
Yes, they are already working on another series for over a year now and they plan to move to Noxus next (plus another region) so we might see Mel again. Although in original lore Jinx, Vi, Cait and others wasn't involved in Noxus story, but the writers/creators said that they're planning to make a spinoff and continue the Jinx/Ekko story. In terms of Cait/Vi, there's still so much lore within the Piltover and Zaun alone that wasn't included in series maybe because of the timeline since it was an origin story of these characters. So we might see the couple once again in the future spinoffs. Anyways, love your reaction 😄
