This song expresses pain, so anyone listening to it will feel that regardless of whether or not they’ve felt this specific type of hurt. Someone who’s not felt like this will still feel the emotion, but after the first impression they’re over it. But if you’ve experienced this type of pain, and it’s a deeply seated emotion for you, this song brings it up with the same intensity no matter how many times you hear it. That’s my take anyway.

    I love almost all Arcane characters, but Jinx has a special place in my heart, I love how she was written and developed, her story is so tough and tragic and it's outcome heartbreaking. Uncomprehended, broken, rejected, resigned to walk by herself on a path she never asked for, she is one of the greatest victims of all this conflict and violence.

      It's hard to sympathize with her, despite knowing she is just another victim, when her actions are causing just as much suffering as she's experienced herself. If I see her as the unavoidable result of Piltovers neglection of Zauns problems and Zauns own disregard for itself, in that case I can sympathize with her, but then she goes and makes things worse simply because she can't do what Vi asked her back when she qs a child, just stay home and wait for her.

    • @apache6111
      @apache6111 2 роки тому +47

      It's true, but we have to consider that she was raised by a psycopath, he loved her more than anything in the world sure, but never properly stood as a parental figure through her childhood helping her to deal with her traumas and overcome what happened just as he did with Vander's situation, and when he tried to, it was too late. And about what Vi asked, well, I honestly put myself in her shoes, if I know my sister and family are going into a suicide mission, I couldn't handle the impotence of not knowing if they would ever come back, in this case what she did would be as bad as not doing anything.
      Sometimes the best intentions lead to bad outcomes.
      With all this I'm not saying that all her actions are justified, but are the logical response to others actions, cause and effect.

So as a gamer, I really couldnt care less they invite, say, Ariane Grande or Imagine Dragons to play one of their hits. I'm here for the games. If I wanted to hear their music, I'd go to their show.

    This one sounds better than the other video of this performance on UA-cam. But some parts are still off. Sting is pretty much always spot on, including very recently, which leads me to think that there had to be some kind of technical difficulty with sound in this case. I am also guessing there wasn't much rehearsal time with everyone in the same room, either. Nevertheless, it was nice to see him, and Ray Chen and the rest, perform it live. Such a beautiful song.

      Yeah, just how and when he was flat sounded, to me, like an issue with being able to hear the music through the monitors/earpiece. It wasn't like he was straining for the notes and missed, but was flat for a fair number of them all in a row.
