I feel like Jinx won't be the main villain, but Noxus will. I think Jinx is going to team up with Ekko/Vi to defeat Noxus in Act 3. That would explain why she's flying the blimp and Ekko is fighting Noxus soldiers with Vi. Jinx is definitely a morally grey character, so Ekko could probably convince her someway to fight on their side of the war.
Knowing singeds involvement in ionia, (and despite the changes in lore I think they’re gonna keep some key aspects the same) I feel like Ambessa is gonna take singed as as a replacement for hex tech to show that their involvement in piltover wasn’t for nothing, and she’ll use his expertise in chemtech to create weapons for Noxus’s war in Ionia
I recently watched the trailer for S2 again and came to a brutal realization: Jinx says "watch it all burn" and later on in the trailer she actually watches everything burn, in shock and with a bloody nose. I guess it will be the hideout of the firelights she is going to see burning, right after she makes friends with them and decides to go with a more peaceful approach. And Ambessa will be the one burning it down. This will probably also be the incident that will make everyone - including Caitlyn and the enforcers - realize that Ambessa is the true VIllain.
Harder to draw conclusions but the main takeaway from that battle was the inner thoughts of Jinx truly taking over but mental conflict wasn't really a point in that fight so I couldn't say if that battle has anybl takeaways
I think the only thing about these teasers (not a bad thing) is why they don't show Jayce and Viktor, or Mel directly in focus, it's intentional I think these characters are going to end up being extremely different to s1, so they're easy us into these new dynamics, basically some significant stuff is going down between Viktor and Jayce, my opinion on Heimerdinger I think he's going to try and reach out to Jayce or Viktor mid way to the end of season, and it comes to. Him having to take matters into his own hands
Guys i just realized arcane isnt 6 months away anymore. Not 5, not 4, not 3, not even 2 months away. Its literally only one month away until we are all gonna hear Enemy by imagine dragon again
I just wanted to point out Jinx's cowl of fishbones, and some of the graffiti of a strange dark creation in the temple bears a huge resemblance to the shadow of Vex from League of Legends
If you pause the trailer strategically, you can catch a hint of light blue under the helmet of the enforcer Vi is carrying. If she is carrying jinx in disguise, then it's possible the firelights and Vi are helping Jinx directly instead of Piltover
Fantastic Video essay. I really loved the points you made. I really don't believe jinx will be the final villain, though. I'm pretty sure black rose will get involved.
As a writer, you both make me happy and scare me. If my stories end up catching your eye, you may break it open like an egg (not that I would care, I would troll if asked)
I think a lot of my discussions have helped me learn the structure of building a sequel when it comes to viewer expectation, narrative buildup, and possible foreshadowing. If it's an individual story I probably don't have much to say. But working on arcane S2 contalent has taught me how to assess all these dogshit sequels and how they always fumbled the bag. When it comes to arcane I have so much confidence in them they they won't be the same. Who knows 😅
@@maofone from what they have shown us, they seem to understand storytelling and proper character progression. They understand these characters have to feel human and have flaws. They know they have to be as complex as we are or they come off flat or wooden.
@riveevatera9263 how do you know?👀 I mean, I both believe it has to be and want it to be there. But it is hard to make theories about that. Not enough info( for me And I'm glad I'm not the only one who roots for them ❤️
You are talking very big words for just „analyzing“ a trailer. Like I get the idea and in parts I have those points as well (link between design and story for example) but Im not confident to present them as facts. Like sure we can say Mel got hit badly from the explosion. But if we say she is dead how did Jace survive being right next to her and therefore also in the blast radius? So assuming she is dead is kinda far fetched. Also assuming Jinx is Jinx and not Powder is in my mind deeply disrespectful to the writers. Because we all agree Powder is mad (suffers from some type of personal disorder) but then to say she is just Jinx is just not how mental illness works. Yes atm she is primarily Jinx, but this doesn’t change the fact that Powder got every song Jinx could have had and that it was Powder who got scared in the final scene and that it was Powder who saved Vi from Silco and that it was Powder who cried and screamed in agony that her sister cannot understand her. Jinx is a coping mechanism. Jinx is a defense mechanism. Jinx is not Powder. Jinx is not her name. Nobody can change who they are. They can just lie to themselves in the hopes they don’t notice. And I can give yourself an example: Silco on the surface is the phenomenal proof that this theses is wrong. Because Silco did change. He chose Jinx over Zaun. The same guy who did everything for the cause. Well nope: Jinx is the embodiment of Zaun so giving her up would mean to give up Zaun. But he did took in Powder even though he wanted to kill her. He changed his mind. Well Silco was all about power. Killing Powder who just became like him would mean that he did a mistake. The ones in charge cannot make mistakes. So even here Silco didn’t change. He just got new informations to work with. Each and every character has a theme of love and that they cannot break those bonds even though they want to. Sure Ekko tried to lie to himself and succeeded until he faced Jinx and found Powder. And if you now try to say that Powder changed as Jinx came to be changing her story I can tell you your wrong again. Powder needed protection from the reality that her sister abandoned her. Jinx is like her sister because Jinx is a result of Vis strength and Powders believe in her sister to be strong for her. So Jinx being like Vi is in line with what Powder wants. But in the end Jinx is a story and a story can be retold and thus shaped. And so all the little gears turn and the clockwork never stopped. This is also the reason you don’t find a lot of stories like Arcane. Because every gear is fine tuned to perfection leaving no room for logical leaps. Then finally the writers told the story by outlining the clockwork through the lenses of Powder. Everybody can create gears and make them spin. Only few have the luxury to perfect them. Of course this is just my personal opinion but this is what I believe is a more plausible interpretation of the informations we have. Still the video has a very good structure and editing. I don’t want to discourage you or anything. Just saying what comes to mind. Thank you for reading Have a nice day AEther
1. Im on the side that mel is alive so I'm not quite sure what you are referring to 2. As of the moment Jinx sees herself as Jinx. I don't think that its disrespectful to the writers since the entire last scene was Jinx choosing who to be and sitting in the Jinx chair and embracing her identity. Sure deep down she is definately not jinx and its an image forced onto herself. As of the moment she is a beautiful mix of Jinx and Powder and she shouldn't really let hard identities force her actions but thats just something we have to see play out.
new mic? pro tip: you dont really need a pop filter just position the mic at a 45 degree angle from you, as if you where recording your jaw. pro tip 2: resonance is usually nothing to worry about, but if want to reduce it, do not buy foam, just record under a blanket. or record with your back to a door frame you hung a thick winter blanket from.
I already had an old pop filter so i just used that. Tried recording under a blanket in the first half of my Piltover explodes vid but it got way too hot. Also i dont have a mic stand so i have to hold it T_T. Ill try the door frame method :)
@@maofone honestly this is nitpicking at this point. you sound great. there sure is a lot of room for improvement but currently you're hitting a quality quite above you're league! in other words: you're underrated.
@@maofone How though? Everything Jayce went through was tough. His own mother calling him crazy, him being asked by his own partner (Victor) to destroy their own project, killing a kid unintentionally, being locked up in prison. Yet after all that he is still able to be the leader he is for his city. Calling him a big baby is a big stretch.
@@wdotwreckvideos exactly, in all essence Jayce is one of my favorite characters. But sometimes he does weird stuff like want to die after one rejection and make Viktor announce independence to take all the heat it's kinda funny calling Jayce a baby. Everyone in arcane is complex but the general community sentiment is to give "hate" on Jayce
@@wdotwreckvideos It was in episode 3 when he was about to jump after the kiramanns told him to go away and episode 9 when he declared giving zaun independence he made viktor say it instead of him
I like the way you said look like her rocket launcher showing she used weapons all her life and the final weapon she used I season 1 act 3 but now in season 2 she is a weapon for the symbol of hope for Zaun she weapon or the symbol of resistance and in way she is her own her weapon her wearing the shark cloak is symbol her exterminating Powder once and for all killing Powder fully and finding peace within her self but she kills Powder it won’t be because of hatred of her old self but accepting who she is now and finding total sanity and she wears all the colors as an honor for powder death while being at peace with who she so and no longer hearing or seeing the ghosts of her past.
you can also see it in the way they are shown in the trailer. of course, you can watch and see what they might do but it also shows their main priority and their appearance that also further uncovers the lore of arcane and the character as an individual
Jinx’s inner-child getting incorporated into her style is just so beautiful
sevica gets a terrible barber 😂
@Ja-dk2mu I think it's because she couldn't make her hair with one hand ( before she found a replacement ) and that's why she cut it like that .
i actually kind of liked her hair
I think Jinx did that 😂
I feel like Jinx won't be the main villain, but Noxus will. I think Jinx is going to team up with Ekko/Vi to defeat Noxus in Act 3. That would explain why she's flying the blimp and Ekko is fighting Noxus soldiers with Vi. Jinx is definitely a morally grey character, so Ekko could probably convince her someway to fight on their side of the war.
Man, the wait for this series is metaphorically killing me.
really underrated channel!! never realized most the symbolism here, jinx’s fingernail pattern is something i didn’t even consider. keep it up

You forgot to mention the literal scars Jinx has on her right arm from that s*icide attempt with a grenade on the bridge.

9:16 NAH...I AINT GONNA LET YOU SLIDE WITH THAT ONE
WHO'S DEFINITELY A TOP?😂😂😂
Caitlyn is canonically gayer than Vi due to her feats
@@maofone then again, Vi is literally someone who uses strength in everything *wink*
only thing i heard was truth 😌
NOVEMBER CANNOT COME SOONER
3:05 I always just assumed she rolled her shoulder to prepare for the punch, I also do this when I’m about to punch something.
I was confused when he said it messed up her shoulder. But, she does stretch her shoulder every time, that’s a cool detail I haven’t noticed yet.
@@Hope-ii5ec yea, it makes sense, I just never thought of it lolz
When I first heard that I thought it was dumb too but since vi did it in her cell expecting to fight the guard I think she did injure it
@@maofone that makes sense, looking at how she rolls over (when she’s crushed) her shoulder does appear to move a little to much to be normal.
Best Maofone fan back!!
[Insert Vi "who the hell are you" line]
@@LunaticLacewinglol [insert vi knee kicking sevika in episode 5] i’m the best maofone fan >:D

Time to rewatch season one 🔥
9:15 LMAO
Why do I get the nagging feeling that Jinx is going to *save* Caitlyn from something or someone in that clip where she shows off her shark hoodie?
It definitely Jayce and I feel the flying people who obviously are sick/injured/disable are because of Victor, but for the second is my theory
