The problem is, Viktor arc was never about curing imperfection, unless Jayce is so tonedeaf that he thinks Viktor keeping himself alive is somehow wrong. Its a decent line, but it doesnt fit in the arc of Viktor.
@@cardmaster8772 well it kind of was. that's what future Viktor says he was chasing - neutralizing humanity's negatives, weaknesses, in short, imperfections, to achieve an ultimate peace, which in his mind was a perfect solution. and i do think it stems from experiencing his own struggles since childhood. i don't think Jayce meant his disease as something that should not have been cured, he tried to help with it the whole time, but it doesn't make him less in any way, in contrary, he's much stronger for overcoming it all. i saw many people with disabilities and chronical illnesses who found this speech very comforting and wished for people in their life to say the same to them
@@iloveyousomuch11111 i saw many people with disabilities and chronical illnesses who found this speech very comforting and wished for people in their life to say the same to them. obviously not everyone go through the same but it means a lot to them if people around them accept and love them regardless of the circumstances they can't change about themselves. i think the whole Jayce being stuck in that cave and getting a permanent leg injury, even wearing the same kind of brace, was symbolical meaning of him understanding Viktor a bit better (obviously not to the same degree but i think they put those scenes for a reason)
i would argue viktor is the only character in the series to make every right choice from beginning to end. it just so happens that a fundamental part of the universe to be understood is that an imperfect world is simply more interesting, for a perfect world is equivalent to no world at all.
Jayce: (your imperfections) made you who you are Viktor: yeah, my diseased body made me a cripple, just slightly better than a corpse - glad you could find some beauty in it, Jayce 😐
The way you’ve matched young Viktor chasing the boat, to ‘there is no prize to perfection, only an end to pursuit’ just as the boat finally comes to a stop against the rock is so profoundly beautiful, every time I watch this edit it strikes me as such an amazing find within the context of the show!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🥺 Jayce and Viktor completely stole the show for me. Their storyline was just so beautiful. “You were never broken Viktor” has got to be one of the best lines in the whole show 😭 Wonderful work!
Once again, the way you tie together comments from other seasons. Exceptional. How "when you're going to change the world, don't ask for permission" went from the optimistic voice of a young scientist to the calm presence of a demigod with a means and a plan.. Another masterpiece.
I don't know why, but arcane Viktor reminds me of the movie Annihilation. The music, the shimmering barrier, the evolution all the organism went through, the design, the crystals, hell even the alien that replicated the doctor at the end. Any time i see Viktor i just hear that darn music from that movie.
I thought I was the only one! There are so many parallel's its actually so hard to not compare them. I love both of them and I"m so happy there are so many similarities between Arcane and Annihilation because they're both my favorites.
I keep returning to this video. Beautiful work that nails the themes and weaves everything together in such a concise way. Perfect music that swells with the dialogue for max impact. Some of my favorite moments: 0:45 Viktor drawing on the chalkboard, the way he taps the chalk as "a better place!" 1:56 Fields of dreamless solitude, paired with that visual, especially in contrast to the brightness of the previous frame. Devastatingly beautiful 2:26 The swelling of the music with the turn and eye contact paired with the line, "of everything I admired about you" 2:35 "End to pursuit" Can't get over how perfect this cut is with the boat hitting the end The weaving of Jayce's "Thought we wanted to give magic to the world" with Viktor's "Failed to do good" dialogue... just, chefs kiss 2:54 the way the music and the visuals cut back and forth between their past and final poses.... All of it is just so gloriously perfect, but those moments in particular give me extra dopamine. I haven't been this blown away and in admiration of an edit since, ever, I think. Wish I could like this video as many times as I've actually watched it. Looking forward to more of your work!
0:52 I just noticed that the first thing Viktor grabs when hextech succeeded and he’s floating with Jayce is the gear and when Jayce shoots Viktor he finally lets go of the corrupted gear. He lets go of the corrupted dream of hextech. This show is so good.
Amazing edit!!! I have tears in my eyes every time i see those two. Viktor and Jayce are the real main characters of the show for me. I will remember and miss them. 💔💔💔
I'm amazed by how well you managed to capture every aspect of Viktors complicated character development over the course of the show. This should be recommended to anyone who is kinda confused about the actual essence of his entire philosophical argument at the end of the series. really kinda puts things into perspective cause there is so much else going on
Awesome as always! Such a good character. "there is beauty in imperfection" is good, but my favorite one is still "In pursuit of great we failed to do good"
I don’t know if you’ll see this… but holy smokes. You have an amazing talent. I was a bit “eh” about ARCANE season 2 simply because I thought it could benefit from a few extra minutes or episodes, but this video brings out exactly what I love about Viktor’s story (damn, I wish we got to see more final phase Viktor- his design was phenomenal!). Thanks for the wonderful work- keep it up! I look forward to the next project! Have a lovely day! :D
On the thirteenth day, I abandon here the first of the flesh of my body On the twelfth day, I abandon here a part of the flesh of my body On the eleventh day, I abandon here my arm sinistral On the tenth day, I abandon here the flesh of my body On the ninth day, I abandon here my heart On the eighth day, I abandon here the flesh of my body On the seventh day, I abandon here my eye On the sixth day, I abandon here a part of the flesh of my body On the fifth day, I abandon here my arm dextral On the fourth day, I abandon here the last of the flesh of my body On the third day, I abandon here my doubt and vacillation On the second day, I abandon here my love On the final day, I abandon here all of my fears
I don't know how to explain it but gloriously evolved victor has the same colour scheme and stance I imagined saruman to have when I read his description in the book
Viktor got to see what Jayce went through and what his own actions accomplished. No one saw Viktor's memories being unable to recomprehend what he'd experience.
_“I have to ask myself what is the true meaning of being perfect and the answer I came up with was: nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection. If something is truly perfect, that’s it. The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination, no space for intelligence or ability or improvement. Do you understand to men of science like us perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you, but not perfect.”_ *- Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Bleach* _“I thought I could bring an end to the world’s suffering. But when every equation was solved, all that remained were fields of dreamless solitude. There is no prize to perfection… only an end to pursuit.”_ *Viktor, Arcane* I love when mad scientists understand that perfection is the unequivocal end, not the satisfying achievement that many of us think it is. It’s the final stagnation. The end of pursuit, therefore the end of any reason for being.
I loved seen the brotherhood between Jayce and Viktor. “You’ve always wanted to cure what you thought were weaknesses. Your leg. Your disease. But you were never broken, Viktor. There is beauty in imperfections. They made you who you are. An inseparable piece of everything… I admired about you.”

"If you want to change the world, don't ask for permission!" and "There is beuaty in imperfection!" hits hard when you realize how true this is
"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good" is another hard hitting quote that rings true
Easy for Jayce to say. He was born rich and healthy. He absolutely has no right to say that stuff to Viktor
The problem is, Viktor arc was never about curing imperfection, unless Jayce is so tonedeaf that he thinks Viktor keeping himself alive is somehow wrong. Its a decent line, but it doesnt fit in the arc of Viktor.

"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good" really does hit so much harder after the events of Act 3. Excellent work.
Thr greatest line of the show in my opinion.
The story of Viktor and Jayce is basically about two guys who make all the wrong choices until they both finally get it right at the very last moment.
They tried to course correct so many times, but the greed and stupidity of those in power stopped them.
last moment for now !
We will see them again I think (and hope :) )
i would argue viktor is the only character in the series to make every right choice from beginning to end. it just so happens that a fundamental part of the universe to be understood is that an imperfect world is simply more interesting, for a perfect world is equivalent to no world at all.
just like a research. You make theories and theories until you prove one right :)
If u listen viktor tells u their whole story arc....emotion clashing with reason
The irony of the perfect beauty of the imperfect.
not the irony but paradox of never ending cycle
Jayce: (your imperfections) made you who you are
Viktor: yeah, my diseased body made me a cripple, just slightly better than a corpse - glad you could find some beauty in it, Jayce 😐
"Don't cry. You are perfect."
@@augustussmythe8379 well... trying to overcome his condition is part of what made Viktor smarter
If "imperfections" make something better, perfection should include them by definition
"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good." Such a powerful line. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
"There's no prize to perfection, only an end to pursuit." - profoundly beautiful
i love viktor so much
Nah hate him
i love him in season 1, what happand to season 2 viktor...

Yasminaaa
@ my queen 🥹
"there is no prize in perfection, only an end to pursuit" still to this day one of the best lines to ever come out of an animated series
Finally, a tribute edit with no flash, no capcut fantasy text, no transition, no phonk music. Only pure story telling music that full of emotion
"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good" might be the single greatest line I have ever heard
the edit where it cuts to young Viktor feeding Rio, as Jayce says "You were never broken Viktor," is such a tearjerker 😭
Once again, the way you tie together comments from other seasons. Exceptional.

Viktor is the best Arcane character for me from the very start. And his and Jayce's storyline stole my whole heart
Glorious editing omg..

This is one of, if not the coolest arcane edit I have ever seen❤❤
I love Viktor, he is one of my favourites. 💜 Aamzing character arc & designs. Thank You for great edit/tribute.
10/10 video and song choice as always SWFT

Would be better if they cut out the half with lesbian romance drama
@@Yoroiful It would be better for you to cut out your homophobia.
Damn thats crazy @@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440
Amazing edit!!! I have tears in my eyes every time i see those two.
Viktor and Jayce are the real main characters of the show for me. I will remember and miss them. 💔💔💔
Holy fuck this was absolutely amazing. By far one of the best edits I've seen to date.

Man !! This is insanely good !!
Viktor really became hexcore Jesus.
"There is no prize to perfection, only an end to pursuit" such profound words.
Awesome as always! Such a good character.
"there is beauty in imperfection" is good, but my favorite one is still "In pursuit of great we failed to do good"
Honestly, I don't think anyone can top this. Very well executed tribute video!
I hope I'll see more of these main character edits, once again a great job SWFT
gosh this hurts, its so good. " There is beauty in imperfections" that hit hards 😭
Another masterpiece wow
Two brothers
Bonded together, beautiful
yet they'll be labeled gay by the gays
you'd treat your brother like this?
@cockycookie1 yes cause I'm not broken and know how to love my family and my friends
They’re husbands, actually.
This might be one of the best edits of Viktor I’ve seen on here
"That which inspires us to our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil"
The final glorious edit.
Your dedication to your craft is incredible! This is art, simply put!
Thanks man!

My favorite character, literally was always on his side until the end
Glorious
Amazing as always my friend.
I'll admit, this made me cry a little bit
The sextech is just temporary, jayce. Glorious evolution is eternal !
-Viktor probably
I started crying again. Thanks. 😭💕 10/10
This is incredible
Great damn video. The clip sequence and especially the music.
This is basically the Summary of the Arcane 😭😭😭 Its all about Jayce and Viktor all along. Without them there's no Arcane.
This was so smooth omg
Magnifique.. Il n'y a pas d'autre mot.
cried watching this. amazing.

10/10. Well done!

Viktor deserved better than the "Herald of the Arcane" we got.
The Machine Herald lives
Now I really want that Iron Blooded Orphans edit form swft
Glorious!
Incredible
Fantastic
