Arcane was a journey for me; now I find myself obsessed with the world, thinking of the science, the fictional lives, and the fantasy of Runeterra. This show drips lore and I can't wait to make more videos digging it up. Arcane is so worth watching right now, season 1 was magic.

I gotta say, the other stand-out voice actor for me was Powder's voice actor. She was absolutely phenomenal to create the utter hopelessness and rage as a child and make it so believable. Her screams were such a deep gut punch that I can't forget them, can't imagine what it would take to record that as a young actor.
Fun fact on Ella Purnell. This is her first time doing Voice Over for any film content ever!
@@Mythichunter341 Ella Purnell did not voice over child jinx/powder, that was Mia Sinclair Jenness. She was around 10-12 years old when they took the record. Jinx: Ella Purnell, Powder: Mia Sinclair Jenness
The "I was saving you" line right before her full breakdown was one of my favorite voice-acted lines in the show. It captures perfectly the confusion, desperation and welling up sadness in Poweder as she slowly came to realize what her bombs actually did, before breaking down completely shortly after.
Says a lot when you remember that your talking about a child.
I agree, and who knew Hailee Steinfeld had the acting chops to do such an good job with an animated performance?
There's so many flourishes in the animation that Fortiche didn't *have* to do but they did. The way Vi steps out of the elevator before it stops moving, the way characters fidget when they're nervous or anxious, all of the subtle (and not so subtle) facial expressions. Every aspect of the show is truly a step beyond.
Yea feel I need to do a whole video on just that.
That's what you get when everyone involved wants it to be the best it can possibly be, and never settle. The writers, whom had _no_ experience beforehand by the way, the animators, the sound design... Everyone went out of their way to create perfection. That's why it took 6 years.
@@Flippokid I just moved from LA back to Phoenix for a bit (maybe, I'm planning to go back if my next job is remote), and new nextdoor neighbors moved in the month I left. One of them worked at Riot, and the amount of enthusiasm and love she had when talking about her job there really showed how much these people are doing what they love.
No company is perfect, but IIRC the first thing she said about it was "it's the best place in the world, I don't think I'd ever leave."
@@actuallynotsteve Awesome. Sounds like the place is a riot!
@@Flippokid if you wanted to make me laugh, you got me brother. Gadooshed even.
The way they handled Jinx was really quite brilliant. Between Ella Purnell's voice acting, the animations and the special effects that we constantly see when she's on screen, it really sells the insanity of the character; from hallucinations to ADHD and PTSD. Whenever Jinx talks you can really feel the confusion, the pain, the hate, and the crazy in her voice.
Wait does jinx have adhd too?
@@specialsauce. I mean i would make sense given how hyperactive she appears to be.
@@specialsauce. there’s no basis for that other than people projecting what they want to see onto the character. Constant hallucinations will affect your attention span too. And she never showed hyperactivity or any other symptoms as Powder when she was a child, which means any symptoms she displays as an adult are not due to adhd because that’s something you’re born with. People are very uninformed about how all the symptoms of adhd are also symptoms of many mental illnesses and can cause the same difficulties. Everything jinx displays is a trauma response/mental illness
@@clared5812 yeah thats what i figured... i have adhd and i still am a child and i personally didnt see any of my symptoms in her. But i felt really attached to Powder so if she actually did have ADHD, i would have found her story and her reactions so much more personal 😢😢
Give credit to the child voice actress as well. Her performance in episode 3 felt so real and broke my heart
One of the most interesting aspect of this show's world building is that the characters actively build the world. The same way Jayce and Viktor became the catalyst for progress, Jinx became the catalyst for destruction, tearing down the new status quo the former two have built over the story arc. While not every character is mega impactful, they all have just enough contribution to the ever shifting status quo.
A voice acting bit that really wowed me was when Jayce sees the dead kid in the factory. The way his voice cracks ever so slightly when he says "the next parent that gets the message their kid isn't coming home, i..."
The sentence seems familiar to me in screenwriting but most of the times it doesnt feel genuine, more like a statement to make a moral point in an argument. The voice actor made it sound real, Jayce meant it and his actions after that proved it. Thats what you get when you hire people who care. That show should be taught about in writing/acting schools.
Fun Lore Fact: originally both cities were Zaun but then in order to open a canal (which would come to be named The River Pilt) they blew it up which caused the poor side of Zaun to collapse into the ground, the sea gods Janna saved a lot of people but then over time they became two different cities, Piltover and Zaun, cause in the games lore they were never the same after that
I've seen some people kind of complain about the firelights mv... But honestly it was another use of "show dont tell". Instead of having ekko talking and narrating their story and ideals they just show you in a badass way
I can’t wait for people to do individual character analyses, especially with Jinx, Silco & Victor who imo were the most compelling characters overall
Check out georgia dow’s videos if you haven’t already, she does these and she’s already done jinx & silco
i may not be speaking for the majority, but as much as i liked silco's character.... i just.... can't forgive him for child labor, exploiting jinx's trauma for his goals, countless murders that most likely took place to get him in power... and literally drugging almost everyone in the undercity...
yes he did love jinx, but just because he does one good thing, doesn't mean i have to let go of everything else he did...
ofc yall dont need to agree with me, this is a personal opinion after all. great vid as usual btw ✌️
Oh definitely. People need to understand, as great a character Silco is, he’s still a horrible person. Man ruined so many lives, for a noble cause true, but ruined lives nonetheless.
Yes, i agree. As a person, he's very morally wrong with most of things he did. But as a character, he's definitely one of the most well written ones. I still love him tho but i sure hope no one in real life is like him.
I love him as a fictional character, but if anyone irl have the qualities with Silco... thats kinda terrifying
In the pursuit of great, he failed to do good
Get used to it buddy, runterra kinda has a theme of intresting yet DEPLORABLE people getting seats of power.
From interment camp king iv to, golden birb slaver, to war crime malfoy
"From the dead?" That line from Silco, in episode 5, kills me every time. I completely agree the voice actor was phenomenal. And the dialogue with Vander in episode 3!
Great video. I have so much I want to talk about with this show. I legit cannot come down from the hype and the emotion. I have to pause the video now and then to calm myself. And I have to do that with Wheel of Time at the same time, which is just my favorite thing in life. Yes, I'm quite the fanboy right now.
So I'll say a few things here:
- I loved Silco. Such an evil and twisted character, but so compelling. When you were evoking his ideology for season 2, I thought about Sevika, who does not get talked about a lot, but who will take over for Silco in my opinion.
- The music video bit is so cool, and will be very polarizing as you said. I kind of did not like it in episode 7 on first watch because it is not really my taste in music, but on re-watching, it's just so good... Now, Ekko vs Jinx is one of my favorite moments in the whole season.
- Not knowing about League avoids spoiling where the story is likely to go and who is important. At the same time, I was somewhat invested in the champions from the game before Arcane, but seeing them come to life in the show and become such deep and complex and tragic characters was just magical.
- One thing I appreciated in the show and you did not really mention: the show is relentless and does not miss a beat. Stuff keeps happening and you get hit again and again. The release schedule was actually perfect for that. After act 2, I thought Arcane would be standalone and all wrapped up in a tight package by the end of episode 9. Well, now we will get more instead, which is awesome, but the season 1 is still the full package, with many complex characters, intense emotion, action and hype, story and worldbuilding, politics, insane pacing, and everything else! Regardless of what comes next, for me act 1 and season 1 both stand on their own as masterpieces.
Arcane makes you feel proud about videogames as a hobby. I've never played League, don't intend to and I've heard what a cesspool of degeneracy the community is but Arcane really is about what we love in videogames. Great writing, story and characters that evoke emotions and tackle difficult themes with nuance. It's also the raw talent and artistry of the makers that make me marvel at their craftsmanship from the animation to the music and the voice acting.
It's a love letter to videogames and the best to date. Even better than Castlevania and that already set the bar high and probably opened the door at Netflix for this kind of content.
all games have toxic communities to some extent. Its the mix of online culture where people can say anything and not get punched in the face and the competitive nature of humans. Doesn't mean it isnt a good game. It wouldn't be the most popular game in the world if it wasn't it is definitely for a more thick skinned crowd though.
@@juniorc1521 I would say that moreso applies to competitive games. You'd be hard-pressed to find toxicity in sth like the Stardew Valley community, but gaming in general does attract a lot of weirdos who threaten developers for example.
@@Shvabicu to be fair, there are a lot of single player games that lead to crazy toxicity, games like Stardew Valley dont really cater to that audience though. It's a farming simulator that you can be gay in, the worst of the toxic weirdos dont like that very much.
I'm a lifelong gamer myself, and I didn't look at Arcane as a 'video game adaptation'. It is a masterful work that would stand on its own even if LoL didn't exist. That is what makes it stand out against all other adaptations. It focused on building its world and characters so you became invested whether or not you knew of them before or didn't.
Silco's monolog about water was so masterfully written. I could listen to it again and again!
In French "fortiche" is... kind of a cutesy way of saying "really good at something". And yeah they are.
Lol nice
Next video: Arcane is HEXTECH
You made me spit out my drink. Good one
Part 3: Arcane is GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
It's not just the best video game adaption I've seen. It's not just the best animated film/series I've ever seen. It's up there with the Wire or Breaking Bad in terms of writing making it one of the best things you can watch on a screen.
Ngl... "Modern day Shakespeare" is fitting praise. And if I'm honest... it's probably better than that.
The part about every scene being a wallpaper is so true. There are so many amazing shots and I was actually thinking a lot of the time "This would make an excellent wallpaper".
If you interested in the lore, then card game Legends of Runeterra (LoR) and the new turn-based RPG "Ruined King" are great games for you. LoR is also just very good card game on it's own, so if you like those, you will fall in love with it instantly (also, animation and art in this game art insane).
Love the editing, and commentary. Arcane, in my opinion, is the best western animation. Seeing these characters from the game come to life in such a faithful way is truly satisfying. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope we get more adaptations/shows like it.
It's at the same level as the best of eastern animation. I'd rate it as highly as Cowboy Bebop (the original, not the live action 🤡) and I absolutely adore Cowboy Bebop.
@@Shvabicu Tbh, eastern animation isn't nearly as good as people say it is. Arcane is way better than any eastern animation I've ever seen.
@@eternal7912 Your Name is a very gorgeous animated movie, same with a lot of Ghibli stuff. Most anime that comes out is under too tight a budget and timeframe for it to really have quality. They do pop up from time to time, though, particularly with movies.
@@eternal7912 in terms of plot, there are tons of great anime that are arguably better or at least on the same level as arcane. Obviously there isn't any anime that has the same artstyle, but many have some top tier animation. Vinland Saga, and Attack on Titan are some of my favorites. That said, most anime doesn't have the consistency that Arcane had. Whether that's animation or plot. So in that regard I can see where you're coming from.
@@RetroYusuf I'm sure there's some good stories in anime. I do like a lot of the concepts behind them, but in terms of just animation, I haven't seen any that stick out as significantly better than western animation (if anything a lot anime's seem to be on such a tight budget that their animation is worse then most western stuff). I will admit that I haven't actually sat down and watched a whole lot of anime, as the few times I've tried it turns me off for a number of reasons. That said, the animation quality of the likes of Attack on Titan isn't necessarily bad, but its really nothing special. The art in a lot of anime is pretty good, despite the fact that I haven't seen any that had a style that I actually liked; but that's just my personal preference. My main point is, eastern animation isn't this amazing work of art that's better than pretty much all western animation. Its about the same in overall quality, and varies from studio to studio and the budgets they have to work with.
The animation is god tier and I absolutely love all the characters. This is going to a show that is going to get a few rewatches for me before season 2. The voice actors were unrecognizable in their respective roles. I still can’t believe that Silco voiced Wally West in Young Justice. The voice actor for both jinx and powder both absolutely broke my heart. From displaying the mental breakdowns to the emotional turmoil in just their voice made me want to jump into the screen just give them a hug. This show was really something special and any complaint I had was so minuscule that it isn’t even worth a mention. This show made me fall in love with the world of League of Legends and this is coming from someone that has never played the games.
PS. I also wanted to say that I loved the thumbnails of the videos. I realized that they are just screenshots of the show with text over them but good lord are the screenshots beautiful.
Arcane is so gut wrenching that I am afraid to rewatch because of heartbreaks after heartbreaks from all the tragedies. I will defend the show with my life, but it's so hard for me to rewatch it 😭
Haha. I've rewatch this for 3 times
After watching it 7 times
I finally realized how well their eyes are animated
Every subtle movement their eyes make like actual people
Great vid. Agreed completely with everything expressed here. The animation detail is so damn impressive. There's a moment when silco sits down In his chair and they animate him getting back up and shuffling back down to get comfortable. Like, the fact they took time to sit and animate that tiny insignificant detail just to add a touch more realism is fantastic to me. Then when it really matters the animation of the characters faces is so good it doesn't even need dialogue to be 100% effective at telling a story for example When VI meets powder on the water tower during the flare scene Vi's face literally quivers so realistically as she's trying to hold back her emotions. Also jinx looking up after her fight with ekko when he stops as he realises powder is still in there and he can't stomach hurting her, powders face here was so beautifully animated here words weren't necessary. The show doesn't have any weaknesses and is utilising 100% of it's potential at all times which is just an absolute masterclass of pacing and storytelling and the voice actors for me particularly powder jinx and silco where fantastic. You know it's good writing when the thing that hurts the most is the conclusion of the main antagonists story. The worst thing about arcane is how high it's now set the bar for everything that follows 👍
Finished watching it for the second time tonight
Never gets old
When it first came out, I already felt this way but I didn't want recency bias to influence me. But I watched it again this weekend, and it's the best adult animated show I've ever seen.
it's beautiful, tells a tale as old as time, has an antagonist you eventually feel sympathetic for, and shows a world where Vi/Caitlyn is so normal that it's not even necessary to say anything about them other then "they like each other."
Every time I see the Monkey Bomb scene, I tear up. This show is everything, and I've played exactly 1 game of LoL and was shit-talked out of ever doing it again. My expectations were low going in, and by the time I finished Part 1/ep3, I knew this was something very, very, very special.
There's nothing like it. So pumped for Season 2, and that we're getting more Silco via flashbacks.
""Every scene should look like a wall paper""... I see that the teachings of the savior Zack Snyder wasn't forgotten.
ngl i just heard about this series 3 months ago even though I've played league a lot before and i thought that i would like this just because i played it and am familiar with the lore and assumed that the casual watchers wouldn't because, y'know.. it's a series based on a video game which is a taboo at this point because it almost always never works out
but my god i could never forget the first time i watched the first act like I can't believe it would be possible for people to do it right....also super proud of fortiche i hope they keep prospering because that was exactly what we needed in western animation right now
Arcane is love Arcane is life
It's a masterpiece but even better, it's the closest thing to perfect I've watched
i think the music video bits ONLY ADDED so damn much to this show
I really want to commend you for the way you deliver the things you want to express. Your storytelling is almost the same process of painting a picture, but through words. Even your stuttering and the somewhat annoying yet emotional repetition of words carry weight, which add to the overall feel and atmosphere of your video. Just like the series itself, this review is magical.
when i watched the final trailer on october i thought "wow the animation looks great but i highly doubt its gonna be good because its a videogame tv show" OH BOIIIII I WAS WRONG i watched it and i can't stop thinking about it
I love how each of the champions shown in the show would all have motives to theatrically fight each other. Seeing Jayce vs Vi or Ekko vs Cait in future would be cool. It's a very complex world they created.
it was the best animation experience i've EVER watched, and all i do is watch animations all day
Aside from all the love i have for Arcane (it even inspired me to learn to draw and i might do a review aswell lmao) I really love your videos, just the way you talk is so intriguing and catches your attention, well done gained a sub!
Subbed for the Arcane vids, keep em comin'
can we be ral and say this is the best anime ever? you can say whatever show is more fleshed out but the animation of arcane puts it over the top
Ey, I see what you did with that title. And man, I really hope Season 2 lives up to this season, it’d be a shame for the magic to fizzle out. And I have to say, what really stands to me in Arcane, above the characters, story, voice acting, above everything, is their use of colors. They’re so vibrant and beautiful while also able to be subdued and menacing.
Good review and good points all throughout 👍
Very much enjoy your reviews. And you have a great voice too.
Thanks for a great review.
Jinx destroying the council at the end, had me warped with emotions and her accidentally killing mylo, clagger and Vander made me cry
9:00 you know i have heard people say before about other shows that they actually genuinely dislike and get annoyed by everyone you meet seeming like they have their own anime worthy story and seeming like truly well thought out and real people even if they only show up for literally 5 minutes of the entire show but personally im a guy who LOVES not just a good world, but who LOVES LOVES LOVES LOVES my characters in the shows i watch ALL feeling truly real. i dont mind if i never get to learn everyones story even if i wouldnt mind hearing them all but the mere fact that no matter what happens and no matter what may arise i love that no just in shows that understand how to make real people but honestly real life, that no matter how much is lost or whatever may happen its a matter of so long as your alive there are always more people to meet and more journeys to start and that until you stop breathing you can always find another story to make :)
I don't know a single thing about League of Legends, yet I decided to give Arcane a shot. And boy, after a 2 day binge session I was mad that I almost didn't go through with it. I picked up my phone ONCE during the marathon and that was to put it on silent. I'm right there with you in that this show gets a perfect score from me. I feel sorry for those who discount/won't watch this masterpiece simply because it is tied to the League of Legends negative stigma.
great review mate.
I have to agree: without a doubt, Jason Spisak was the MVP of this show's voice cast.
His voice has a rent free room in my head.
When you mentioned "magitek", the nostalgia flows in.
Rewatched the series, act-by-act, and read up on some in-game lore. And I have one major gripe. Ekko's and Sky's could've had more screentime.
Ekko, based on the game and "Enemy" music video, was more involved in the group. So I would like to see his past in the next season.
And Sky, was just... there. She seem to be really importamt to Viktor show I hope we also get to learn more in the upcoming seasons.
The show is a 10/10. Just hope that they slow down the pacing this next season to focus more on Ekko and some supporting characters.
P.S. I know this is not really presenting new information but I feel I must share my stance.
As a wise man once said "It's not state of the art, it is the art"
I'm not a gamer at all. I know nothing about League of Legends. But this show was incredible. I'm probably going to get disowned by several friends if I don't shut up about it. It's absolutely brilliant. Worth every minute of viewing time. I saw it just a couple of weeks ago, and I'll be watching it again from the start soon. Epic stuff.
Great video!
Not sure about them being "Twin Cities", Zaun is literally the forgotten underground/back alley slums of Piltover where its citizens are forgotten and looked down upon for being vagrants and poor... anyway just a nitpick :P
I'm so glad someone out there loves arcane as much as me
Jason was absolutely sensational as Silco.
However...
He was only second best.
Mia Sinclair Jenness blew EVERYONE out of the water as Powder.
She only had three episodes but she absolutely obliterated everyone else, not just in Arcane but its the best, most realistic (and, in ep3, soul destroying) voice acting Ive ever heard period, at least in english.
The fact that she was only 11 years old when recording absolutely blows my mind.
I dunno if there is an Oscar for voice acting but if there is its an absolute joke that she didnt get it.
If there isnt, they should friggin make one and give it to her.
God damn, that girl got some insane talent.
Based upon the world-building and storytelling methods that win the show in addition to the amazing art that was clearly handcrafted with care this is one of the few shows that regardless of your opinion on it it is an objectively amazing show
Legends of runeterra, ruined king, stay the fuck away from League of legends like Singed said : " please understand this is for your own sanity"
I redownloaded lol and played a game because the show and 30 minutes later I was crying saying “I only wanted to help I only wanted to help!” As my team screamed at me and called me a jinx
Well that's easy because MOBAs suck anyway
The only in-series music video that took me out instead of taking me in was the Imagine Dragons cameo.
my man waited for this one
Your videos are my favorite on UA-cam
Still not over this show, love it too much.
14:25 Oh god, what have you done. You've already escaped! Why did you return!
Arcane is a masterpiece
What do you mean by "it did not do much" regarding the jinx vs ekko scene?
Arcane is in my opinion, the best animated show ever made, hands down
I never saw Silco as the main character. Most of that was really taken by Vi, Jinx and Jayce.
On my first viewing the music videos were hit or miss with me. Some felt out of place and jarring, while others were so good they pulled me completely in. But on my second viewing I started liking the other bits more for the piece of art that they are.
Was I the only one who was satisfied with the ending? Like, honestly, I’d prefer if season 2 went to another region instead for a new story. That ending felt right for me honestly. I won’t say no to a season 2 with Vi and Jinx, but if it ended there, I would still be satisfied.
I am happy that we will (I hope) wrap all loose ends in season 2. But if we wouldn’t get the continuation I would be fine with this ending as well
I agree completely. Even the cliffhanger I really didn't mind, I took it as this thing just happens, that's it. Like, you don't need season 2 to explain.
I wouldn't. I'm familiar enough with the lore to know that some characters need some more evolving to do. And I think I want 2 more seasons before they move on to another region. 3 seasons feels right, but if they can do it in 2, I'm all for it
It was the perfect ending to the battle for Jinx’s soul. But a terrible and unsatisfactory ending for my desire to be in this world more!!
Nailed it
About having music video in every episode, that reminds me a lot of vivziepop, in every helluva boss episode there is a new song. It’s pretty much an artistic choice, and ofc some may not like it
Hey man! Love a bunch of the visual editing/cuts that you do for this video. I've been working on an Arcane video essay for a bit now - I just finished the introduction. I came to study the way that you make different cuts etc and learned some things, I figured you might like some constructive input as well!
The video was very exciting, and if that was your sole goal you definitely succeeded, but in that, I will also say the pacing and consistent dramatic vocals created an anxious experience. If you slowed down a bit I think it would make these videos a lot more consumable.
I would love to hear your thoughts on my introduction for my video so far - if I could find a way to contact you.
There is also some vocal distortion at 8:33
no, it’s not magic. It’s a human made masterpiece!
Worth buying all the skins! League produces top tier content
I'm still not over it T_T
Imma loose all my shit if they shadow-drop an Act 4 tomorrow...
Season 2 has already been announced last week. We already know Warwick will appear, and we can hope for Swain
nice vid
Silco is a top3 villain of all time.
Forget about LoL the MOBA, try Ruined King instead, it's a story focused turn-based RPG based on LoL (it's great they are expanding out of MOBA into other game and media genres, there is also project L, a fighting game), Ruined King focuses on six characters and locations from LoL which might appear in Arcane if they do expand the universe in future seasons (like Miss Fortune)
whats up that breathy voice you put haha
"European studio" we don't do that in europe :). we name the country, we fought each other for thousands of years not to be referred as a European country. It's a french studio.
Good point. I just wanted to distinguish thïs isnt "anime"
@@SkylentShoreqwert in France we call that a "dessin animé " witch literaly mean "animated drawing " or "série d'animation " = " animated serie " and NOT cartoon , for us cartoon is a subgenre of comedy very burlesque (like tex avery show)
Man and I thought Canada was petty about this kind of thing.
Well in lore they are all heroes on their own story.
Except seraphine!!! Change my mind
Fortiche is French! Btw.
About the soundtrack, I would've liked to see less Imagine Dragons and shitty pop songs and more unique stuff. I liked the song that introduces Zaun, it's got a cyberpunk vibe to it. I liked the Denzel track that plays when Jinx and Ekko remember their childhood games as they faced off. I would've loved to have some punk/grunge style songs in that because it Zaun literally has punk bands in it, so it would show off some of the culture of the place through the soundtrack. Imagine Dragons and the Sting song felt like purely business/fanservice decisions, NOT artistic ones. They pulled me out of the show and not in a good way, but in a way that made me cringe.
Weird take: virtual idols are safer than real life idols.
no no no.....
You've got a point ☝️.
I didn't think Silco's voice acting was the best, not because Jason Spisak didn't do a good job -- he did a fantastic job -- but because I thought everyone else was voice just as well.
Upon repeat viewing I could tell there's actually a lot more layers to Silco's voice throughout the season. He was pretty sinister throughout most of Act 1 and a lot of 2 and 3, mainly when speaking from a place of authority, be it to Deckard, to Sevika, to the other Chembarons, to Marcus, etc. But when he speaks to Jinx, his tone ever so slightly changes, and especially throughout ep9, you hear his voice go through so many layers of change, as he grappled with the choice of giving up Jinx for his dream of independence, finally understanding Vander (his monologue to Vander's monument) and his admitting to Jinx that she's the most important thing to him, his dreams be damned, yet the differences were always so subtle, and never over the top.
Still, I have to give the best (if only by a tiny bit) voice acting to Ella Purnell, the VA for Jinx. After listening to Powder's VA for 3 episodes (a rare, superb job done by a teen/child actor), I was ready to be disappointed by whatever voice they gave to the grown-up Jinx. Instead I was floored by the depth of Jinx's voice, always teetering on the edge with an air of over-the-top playfulness as if to compensate for her trauma-ridden psyche and at any time ready to completely breakdown. Then when Vi showed back up in her life, you hear very subtle bits of Powder poking through, always quickly snapped away and back to the manic Jinx. Her voice in both the reunion scene at the end of ep6 and the dinner party of ep9 were both brilliant; especially at the dinner party, I found myself paying attention almost subconsciously to her every inflection, to try to figure out "who's talking right now", be it Jinx or Powder. And it NEVER felt like an obvious "split personality" cliche where the VA does two distinct voices, because there was never a "split" in her personality; Powder simply grew up to be Jinx. Yet the subtle change in tone still reminded us of what state of mind she's in at any given time, be it closer to her more innocent "Powder" past, or her more pragmatic "Jinx" present.
Purnell's fantastic portrayal of Jinx actually made me find faults in Steinfeld's acting as Vi, which is a shame, because she also did a great job, but just by the fact that Vi was mostly playing the "straight woman" for the audience, she just didn't have as much material to work with.
Might want to throw a spoiler warning
Please react to League of legends mangas, it in their website
hi I know who you are
Hey! Lol whatever that means.
@@SkylentShoreqwert this just feels so intimidating. Especially if this person is a giant buff cactus
Ummm hextech, not magic
