1:23 the look that Mel gives Viktor is chilling, like “i know you’re there, I heard what you said, I’m even gonna answer your question, but I’m not going to address or acknowledge you”, she’s almost treating him LESSER than the counselor she bought a children’s toy for, in the scene she never talks to Viktor directly he’s simply a barrier to Jayce & convincing him of what she wants.
It’s so painful when you hear how hurt he sounds when Jayce shows his distaste towards the undercity. Plus, it’s not even like at that point Jayce didn’t know Viktor was from the Undercity.
0:58 ik Vik isn't violent or anything, but i deadass thought he was gonna bonk Jayce with his cane for sayin that shit. like, "oh, i got ur 'dangerous' right here bud" * *t h w a c k* * 💀💀💀
As someone who cares so much about saving lives, I personally don't think Viktor would ever consider taking the life of his best friend? But that's just my opinion...
The scene were jayce and Viktor fight over the blockade makes me so sad... I bet Viktor would have told him about the shimmer if jayce didn't say those things about the under city... The sad thing is if the blockade never happened I bet viktor would have told jayce about the shimmer and together they may have found a way to use it safely not ending in sky's death 😔
Exactly! He had just told Singed earlier 'Jayce will understand' and then Jayce says those things about Undercity, that they're 'dangerous' and...well.
Yes, he fell into the us vs them mentality, because literally everyone around him was peddling the exact same statement. Everyone in the under city was also peddling the exact same statement. In the end the blockade made sense because they were experiencing terrorist attacks from the undercity. Him getting mad at Viktor was a slip up. *One he immediately apologizes for.* But Viktor decided to not trust Jayce anymore, a man who was able to remove someone from the council who had been there for 300 years, because he was in the way of saving Viktor's life. That is the primary reason Jayce got rid of Heimerdinger; because he was actively trying to destroy the one thing they believed could cure Viktor.
Yeah, he totally was going to tell him. Probably would've told him the person he was going to see was from Zaun too, if Jayce hadn't left so quickly after the meeting with Heimerdinger.
@@rai4119 one can't really blame Viktor for deciding not to trust Jayce at that moment tho. He's pretty open about what he stands for, so justified or not, finding out that Jayce directly ordered a blockade that mostly affects the very same people they both have supposedly been trying to help would make him believe Jayce won't understand. Not to mention that he already thinks Jayce is wasting time with the political stuff + he most likely doesn't know a this point about Heimerdinger getting kicked out of the council Doesn't help that after this he basically sees Mel push for hextech weapons and Jayce doesn't back him up in opposing that
@@rhys1264 It's sad too because Jayce wasn't a bigot either, or was at least not far down the pipeline at this point. He had been influenced by everyone around him to see people he never met as dangerous, but as soon as he actually interacted with them, he began to care about them and wanted to help, losing any prejudice. But the damage was already done and it led to bad consequences.
My brain releases dopamine every time I hear Viktor's voice. Also, the "Am I interrupting?" parallel scene destroyed me. Here's to hoping I recover before season 2.
I genuinely don't get all the Jayce hate. He was a naive person who was easily manipulated by all around him, and the only person who wasn't manipulative, Viktor, also wasn't there -- present minded -- in the things that were happening all around them. I was seriously surprised that On his second day of being a council member, Jayce is discovering that a lot of people were literally stealing their tech, there were a lot of inventory discrepancies, And Victor is like "yeah push that stuff to the side what about staying in the lab to help people". Dude. Viktor. Someone is literally stealing tech. Someone has *been* stealing tech. Someone just recently stole a marble-shaped battery that was enough friction could power a bomb and level the city. They were BOTH too focused on ONE thing, And they needed to stop outside of their bubbles and see that there needs to be a BALANCE. I think they acquired it at the very end of the show. But the ending wasn't there fault; It was literally jinx's and silco's.
@@rai4119 viktor is literally dying, why would he care about stolen tech when they haven't even made anything to help to people where he grew up so they won't die like him.
@@MayvaAva they are absolutely gonna, in the intro for a moment we can see the machine herald, then it breaks down into a smaller Viktor. And even if the lore is so very different the ending place is gonna be mostly similar to league
@@noel2641 well I never said he would t become the machine Herald, he has to, arcan is like an origin story, they have to end where they begin in the game I believe, I meant that it might not be as heartbreaking friendship wise
@@MayvaAva eh I disagree. It feels like it's gonna be worst, in the game they were described as never quite being friends, here they both talked each other down from suicide. I feel like their gonna make it really tragic, like even worst then jinx, and vi
0:53 bro listen to Viktor saying "what difference does that make" clearly showing that jayce only knows that people from the undercity a good if it's Viktor. You can clearly see in jacye's eyes and the fact that his grinding his teeth is that he really doesn't trust ppl from the undercity imagine how that made Viktor feel oh my god.
I hate seeing Jayce that way too because it's so clear that he's been conditioned to think that way by every person around them, but it's clear he wouldn't think that way if he got any exposure to the people of Zaun and realized they weren't monsters and are living in terrible conditions (which is what happens when he does go down there). And at the same time it's so sad seeing Viktor having to deal with his best friends saying Xenophobic shit about his people.
I absolutely love this. Also the part where Mel and Jayce are literally talking over Viktor? Raised above him whilst he can't get up? The symbolism in that scene is incredible, and I haven't seen anyone mention it
He *can* get up; he was just working. (Hi, disabled person with a crutch here) What was actually good about the cinematography was "defend YOUR people" bit, and then it cuts to the one Zaunite in the room
@@rai4119 I saw a comment once saying that it cut to his face because no matter how much time he spends topside, he's still from the undercity. So by refusing to make weapons he is, in a way, defending his people.
@@bxttercxp_swxxts yess and in that bridge scene Jayce refers to Viktor as 'us' (Pilties) someone exposed to the undercity,not as a person FROM and OF the undercity.Jayce is shut down when Viktor says "I'm from the Undercity," hence why Jayce immediatly retaliates, "I need to think," because his view has been skewwed,Viktor didn't change,he just lives in Piltover cause its generally safer better cleaner etc.
‘I’m only asking you to prepare to defend your people’ As it focuses on Viktor, who is defending his people by refusing to create weapons, who may end up taking that leap to actively protect Zaun in season 2. I love this show so goddamn much!
Now while i like mel i don’t like when she’s around viktor cuz she acts so rudely towards him and u know the only reason she acts like that is cuz viktors from the undercity
Finally, a satisfying cinematic triology! That’s what your Jayce Viktor videos are. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna post some fics to AO3 and mend my fractured heart while I wait for season two.
Jealous??! Mel is talking about creating weapons with magic involved and aiming them to the the undercity and putting Viktor's people in danger with his own technology... And you think that jealousy is the reason he's upset?
Video idea: Jayce being your standard bisexual Basically making bad decisions at his worst and being gay for Viktor at his best ( well, more or less when I mean gay)
I like the imagery of victor defusing a bomb when talking about the potential war. At the time I thought it was forshadowing for victor defusing the greater situation, but so far that hasn't been the case. Season 2, maybe? Probably not.
In the end it was actually Jayce who came closest to defusing issues and securing peace/a better future for Piltover and Zaun. Well, before Jinx got a little quirky at the end. Who knows, maybe it's foreshadowing for Viktor defusing Jinx's missile at light speed and saving the day.
Jayce really said "you are one of the good ones Viktor"
Litterally
1:23 the look that Mel gives Viktor is chilling, like “i know you’re there, I heard what you said, I’m even gonna answer your question, but I’m not going to address or acknowledge you”, she’s almost treating him LESSER than the counselor she bought a children’s toy for, in the scene she never talks to Viktor directly he’s simply a barrier to Jayce & convincing him of what she wants.
"What difference does that make?" is just so soft and pure 😭🤧
It’s so painful when you hear how hurt he sounds when Jayce shows his distaste towards the undercity. Plus, it’s not even like at that point Jayce didn’t know Viktor was from the Undercity.

I wish he did 😂😂
He's been needing to let out steam for a while now.
I was full on expecting Viktor to wack Jayce at several occasions through the season.
@@gaemp2918 me too 😂😂
the fact that Viktor was hesitant to defuse the bomb, I bet he was considering taking them both with him---
He really said "I'm dying anyway" 😩
lol ikr
And saying "there is always a choice. " while looking at jayce 👀. Just- oof
@@roodytheowl3145 Ngl the obvious hurt in Viktor's voice while saying that made me choke up a little ;-;
As someone who cares so much about saving lives, I personally don't think Viktor would ever consider taking the life of his best friend? But that's just my opinion...
@@Reveri247 I heavily believe that's why Viktor stopped. If he was by himself he might have done it.

maybe season 2 will show why Viktor is now how he is in the game, and that will be worse
Well hopefully the next few years will be enough time lol, I feel it tho
"I have to think." Why would you waste your time on something you're so bad at, Jayce.
Lmao😂

Mel asks Jayce to defend his people literally behind the back of Viktor, whose "people" are the ones she wants Jayce to make weapons against. Ouch.
The way Viktor defuses the bomb is such brilliant symbolism. While he disarms the bomb, Jayce goes to make weapons.
I was thinking that
Hes so cute saying "what difference does that make?"

because of some league lore i brushed up on, their relationship will only get worse and that hurts me
Viktor is so attractive I-
ikr
Ikr
jayce really like to touch the ones he cares for
If I met someone with an accent like Viktor's....
so basically slavs
I replayed the “ridiculous” part so much his voice is great
JAYCE WILL UNDERSTAND
