    Hello, I'm getting a lot of new views and comments on this video because of s2, so thank you for that!! I have made follow ups for act 1 and 2 of s2, however it is wayyy more strict this time around and I can't upload them without them getting completely blocked for copyright. Sorry all! If I find a way around this I will upload them, but for now I have been defeated by netflix. Please enjoy s2 regardless....iykyk.

    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.

      But ultimately, it is a flaw on both of their ends. Viktor asks how are Undercity people dangerous while smuggling an illegal drug that has ruined countless lives into Piltover so that he can use it in illegal, dangerous experiments. "Pshft, I can't believe Jayce just called Zaun dangerous."

      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.

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

      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.

    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.

    Ngl, as pretty as she is, I kinda hated Mel in season 1. ESPECIALLY during that scene at 1:20. She talks as if Viktor isn't even in the room! She just completely ignores him, and tells Jayce it's HIS decision whether they turn hextech into weapons or not! GIRL Viktor has literally done more research than Jayce at this point. Why isn't it up to him too?...The way nobody on the council listens to Viktor EVER, except for Jayce, is so tragic. The inequality is palpable. This poor guy just gets overlooked and has his sense of control taken from him over and over again. When he tries to say anything in council meetings, he gets ignored. When he tries to tell Heimerdinger that he's anxious about dying and he wants to help people with hextech asap, he gets ignored. When he tells Mel he doesn't want to use hextech for weapons, he gets ignored. Then when he decides he's just had enough, and tries to take some control back for himself, fucking MAGIC starts taking his control from him, and he loses more and more of himself as the very thing he hoped would help people!!! And yeah, he shouldn't have messed with shimmer and started doing experiments on himself. Heimerdinger did warn him. What happens to him is partially his own fault and I can't justify all of his decisions. But damn do I feel for him. The fact he carries so much empathy for people, and STILL wants to help them, even after how poorly he gets treated, really shows what a kind person he is. I mean, tbh even after he lost faith in humanity, he still kinda wanted to help them. "Glorious Evolution" was supposed to free people from conflict and suffering. Like...obviously taking away people's free will and turning them all into robots is bad. But like...calling Viktor "evil" feels wrong to me. Cuz even if he did ultimately hurt people, that was never his intention (Ok well...maybe with the exception that one scene where he was fighting Jayce and Mel. But that was only after they rejected his offer to join him peacefully. Overall he didn't want to hurt anyone). Even someone like Jinx, who kinda gets painted as a hero in the end, WANTED to hurt people. Jinx is way more evil than Viktor ever was imo. She enjoyed causing pain and chaos. Viktor wanted the opposite, his methods were just a bit fucked up. I'm really glad he got his redemption at the end of the series and that he and Jayce forgave each other. I think he deserved it. And honestly, I stg if a new series gets made and everyone just talks about Viktor like he was evil, and nobody stands up for him and is like "Actually he always wanted to help people. His goal was to end suffering and war and make everyone equal. But then he started experimenting with magic, and got all corrupted. His methods became more evil, but his intentions were always good", I'm gonna lose my mind. I need justice for my boy Viktor. He's not a villain. He's morally grey, just like pretty much everyone else in Arcane. :*)
    Edit: THAT SAID THOUGH! I also want to clarify that I only disliked season 1 Mel. She has a whole character arc and becomes a better person and I actually love her as a whole character. It just took me a while to warm up to her because Viktor's my favorite character, and up until she realized how much he meant to Jayce, Mel kinda just treated him the same way all the other council members did. Which was essentially "Omg Jayce, the inventor of hextech! ...Oh and that other guy I guess". But I know she gets better. I'm not a Mel hater. I'm actually extremely exited to see what the writers might do with her in the new Noxus focused series.

    4:21 Why does the council get so upset about Jayce’s peace deal?
    It seems reasonable, & the Undercity didn’t really seem to contribute much to Piltover’s culture or finances. They’d lose nothing but problems, right?

    • @mylola.
      @mylola. 12 днів тому +2

      It isn’t super explicit but I think that piltover relies heavily on zaun for production and mining, which are essential to piltobian culture as it is so heavily based in science (and in turn heavily relies on metal mined in zaun) Zaun and piltover do in fact do trade, and all the not so pretty production goes on downtown.
