Yes I felt the same, he "died in this room". That Viktor so soft spoken yet so determined, passionate and somehow funny. I quickly read his lol lore so I kinda knew he was supposed to reach his "glorious evolution" (even if it was less science/machine oriented in the show to my regrets tbh) But he was feeling so human, I miss him. I felt like we had a glimpse of him again just before he disappeared completely in the Arcane. My boy died like thrice and left nothing but my heart in shambles 😭
The fact that he got so excited and open with Jayce because he found someone with the same passion for improving lives through science is so sweet. It's incredibly endearing.
He will be main character this season, Viktor is the Arcane, although I'm not sure if you will like the way he becomes, probably after loosing Jayce? to the rocket explosion.
When I saw that he was able to walk and full on run for the first time as an adult, I was so proud of him I cried. The precious baby. I love him so much omfg
At first sight, I felt Viktor was a jealous assistant distilling hate in the shadows, as apparently shown in the first 5 seconds of the video. But with each passing episode, he built himself as an ambitious, deep, but caring individual, concerned by Jayce's well being as a colleague and as a friend; and at the same time dealing with his illness and condition. Watching him enhance himself through Hextech was a heartbreaking but logical step for his character development into the champion we know. He desperately looked for a solution to his condition, to be able to finally walk, run and live without constant pain. I think we will see the completion to this transition in the next iteration of Arcane; but we will cry as a MF when that happens
At 5:47 notice the way Viktor falls . Ik it’s just a compilation, but it’s pretty similar to the position he was in after Sky disintegrated in the lab . Which kinda makes the parallel of him falling while chasing something, as a kid it was his boat, and as an adult it’s his glorious evolution .
@@somethingcreativeprobably5160 oh the original post was making a reference. If you don’t want any spoilers for the rest of Arcane, I wouldn’t look it up, but if you don’t mind, it’s about a voice line from LoL
* as in, it isn't just Jayce overshadowing Viktor, it's Piltover overshadowing Zaun. There's a reason why it's always been Jayce giving speeches about Hexcore - he has the social status to even be allowed to speak in front of illustrious people. Viktor's place IS in the shadows, despite the fact that he's just as intelligent and as much as a contributor to Hexcore. His accomplishments, his position as Heimerdinger's student, not even that uplifts him socially enough to be worth listening to.
I’m only just noticing while watching this vid, but 2:15 - 2:26 the Hexclaw is shot in a way that it either looks like it’s attached to Viktor’s back, or in a way where you could very easily see it being attached to his back. Very cleaver usage of visual foreshadowing.
2:54 i remember watching this scene for the first time and wondering what it was alluding to or if it would ever be brought up again. i just saw someone on twitter mention this scene, and how viktor’s blood is probably what is affecting the hexgate in S2E3. ig we’ll have to see what happens but im high and this is blowing my mind rn
the parallels with him being young and unable to run to follow his tiny boat invention to him being older and evolved and now able to run and follow the boats that probably use or carry his technology/invention is so /pos
Idk if you went and read the LoL lore alr but essentially he gets kicked from the academy after Jayce goes to the counsel abt an ethical disagreement him and Viktor have over one of vik’s inventions. Most of his scientific work is scrapped and once he’s back in the undercity he spirals. He falls onto a depression and ends up removing part of his brain to rid himself of emotions + pain and starts augmenting himself with steel prosthetics. Arcane is rlly divergent from canon lore tho so I hope that the writers take some creative liberty 🤭
“ I told you I knew someone ☹️ “ 8:33 “ what difference does that make 😕? “ 8:37 “ I’m.. from the undercity 😟😠 “ 8:42 You can hear him pouting in his voice, HE’S SO CUTEEE.
I'm curious if they'll follow Lol lore or if they'll pull a castlevania and give us a happy ending. I really don't wanna see Viktor turn into the bad man he's supposed be.
No. They need to be realistic and not make everything always have a happy ending. What’s the point In watching if you can’t worry about what can happen.
Viktor's current personality traits already set him up as an idealist who feels short on time, and options. He's a sweet young man who nonetheless had to claw his way to where he is, and that past experience can be a major thorn to his sweeter side as he keeps moving forward. Especially since he's tampering with forces that feed on human blood, with a disregard for safety protocols. From what we've seen so far, his idealism overrules his wisdom. When he refuses to let his inventions be used for war, it's not out of discernment or sensitivity to the current situation, but out of the ideal of helping all of humanity. And that's a good ideal to have, but if he keeps placing his ideals first sooner or later he's going to run into issues. For instance, what if one day he decides that "helping all of humanity" means forcibly augmenting everyone with Hextech? This is an extreme example, but it's to illustrate a point: even a good ideal can go bad without the proper discernment, and again we have no real reason to believe he's fully developed that discernment. This doesn't mean he's a bad person, but rather that he's pretty much set up to make some really, really bad choices later down the line. Especially after the initial early success he had with "healing" his leg. He is going to get overconfident. I don't really see how he can personally have a happy ending unless he lets go of Hextech, and I don't see how he can let go of Hextech with his values and priorities being what they are. He'd need a major revelation of some kind, and I don't think he's going to get one.
the first time I decided to watch the Arcane, I watched it for Jinx, but two years later....... I... I'm a real fan of Victor, how wonderful he is 😭😭😭😭
I think S1 Viktor is much more well written than S2 Viktor. They tried to transition him into his League counterpart in S2 but made that transition so fast and sharp that it felt like a whiplash.
