    When Jayce said "What have we done.", it's like you can hear the fear and horror when the realization struck in. That montage with the wild core coupled by chanting is both beautiful and haunting. Mixed with the fights happening in the vents, the hex cores to the gauntlets and rifle going wild and erratic in resonance to the corruption, pure visual storytelling you'd expect from Arcane.

      That doesn't sound like Jayce at all, though. Notice how when Jayce smashes the Hex ball it turns into a butterfly. A butterfly effect! I think that sequence has something to do with time travel or alternate reality because that voice line sounds so off

    • @ChIMeRaTeX
      @ChIMeRaTeX 12 днів тому +57

      To me it doesn't sound like Jayce tho. He also doesn't talk in that moment, so it would need to be some kind of internal thought, something the show doesn't really do at all.
      I think the voice sounds kind of similar to how the distortion in Viktors voice sounds, so I think the voice has another origin, maybe it's even directly linked to Viktor somehow.

      I feel so bad for Jayce. These three episodes alone have seen pretty much every facet of his dreams and hopes dismantled. Using hextech for good and not harm: gone. Using it to better the world: it's possibly destabilizing everything. Saving his best friend: Viktor doesn't even want to speak with him anymore.

    You could say this song is about a battle between sisters but really it’s about Jayce. “You summon storms and play with nature” that’s Jayce throughout the course of the series to now. He’s played with nature, experimented with things that he doesn’t fully understand, and now he sees what has come of it. Him researching Hex-Tech lead to him making the Hex-crystals, which lead to Powder finding them and becoming Jinx. Which is why there is so much focus on the transitions between Jayce’s terror and the sisters fighting. None of this might not be happening if he hadn’t researched Hex-Tech and “played with nature”. You could also say this song is about him and Viktor, hence Jayce saying “What have we done.” Great song, you could look at it in many different ways.
