I could be completely wrong here.. but if you re watch the scene when viktor wakes up hes see all the blue prints on the desk of the hex tech weapons that jayce is making and dont want to be apart of it so he just dips after he sees it.
Might be right but might also be an oversight because during the whole "in the pursuit of great, we failed to do good" scene in season 1 x 9 Jayce has the hextech hammer he made with him, so Viktor should already be aware that that's what has been going on.
I wouldn't call it an oversight. The hammer and gauntlet weren't originally made to be weapons. When they were showing it to Heimerdinger they said it was to help with mining and building in the under city. Jayce and Vi ended up using them as weapons instead of tools.The new blue prints are strictly for weapons which victor was against.
I just realized: Season 1 Episode 2: Enforcers come to the arcade looking for Powder, who bombed a building in Piltover. Season 2 Episode 2: Enforcers come to the arcade looking for Jinx, who bombed a building in Piltover. 😅
@@datzfatz2368 True, but did you notice how little difference that actually made? In season 1, Topside knew the materials used to cause the explosion belongs to Jayce, they knew the people "responsible" were 4 kids, and they knew it was a break-in gone wrong, they *knew* it was an accident... And *yet* they sent enforcers to the underground in force to root out the "criminals" so people in Piltover would "feel" safe - coerced and interrogated random citizens living in the undercity looking for the culprits, and were willing to employ violence to catch them. No different from how they hunted Jinx in season 2.
1:09:00 so here Jinx says "never thought my sister would turn bluebelly" and Vi responds with "never thought mine would orphan kids". Both very heavy lines as it was enforcers (bluebellies) who orphaned vi and jinx. Jinx cant believe Vi would become the very enemy they feared and hated all their lives (enforcers) and Vi cant believe Jinx is doing to others one of the worst thing to happen to them as kids. Reason i am pointing out this scene is because in my opinion reason Vi doesnt just shove kid away from Jinx or grab her or whatever is because in that moment she did not care about how to save kid from jinx but thinking about how killing jinx would "orphan" this kid. Ofc Vi doesnt have any idea who this kid is but she is seeing with her own eyes that this kid is willing to kill and/or die in order to save Jinx. For Vi who already did one unimaginable thing (joining enforcers) and used the other thing as excuse or justification (other thing being jinx orphaning kids) i imagine Vi struggled deeply to justify killing jinx in that momment seeing that she would do the very thing she is condemning jinx for. To try and make comparison. Batman is vigilantee who ignores the law and boundaries and justifies it by saying criminals made him into who he is by killing his parents making him orphan. And reason he doesnt kill is because he knows if he crosses that line he will be forever lost and who knows what would happen. Its somewhat same thing. Just like how batman knows that he is not entirely in the right and refuses to kill in order to save the last shred of his soul, Vi is clinging on the fact that Jinx must be stopped aas she is orphaning kids and whatnot. So for Vi to kill Jinx there after seeing the child protecting her would be same as for Batman to start killing
A general with Warmason training is an insane threat for the stability of any independent city-state, let alone one who had half its leadership caste assassinated in the midst of a civil war being brought to a boil.
Another reason why Viktor left Jayce the way he did in episode 2 is because he saw the plans for the hextech weapon he made for Caitlyn when he took Sky's book off the table. Jayce promised Viktor that he would never make a hextech weapon again (a very subtle detail they showed us from Viktor's point of view) Going back to Episode 1, in the last scene where Jayce places the hextech crystal in Caitlyn's new weapon, we see a disturbed look on Viktor's face. It's as if he felt it.
35:00 I think a lot of people misunderstands Sevika in season 1. She agreed on the concepts of not giving your people to topside, the thing that broke the camel's back for her was that topside was insisting on pushing them and Vander's plan was to do nothing and hope that Piltover wouldn't screw them too much. I also believe that Heimerdinger is very scientifically proficient, he knows his ways around science, but he was always very whimsical and joyous, I think we didn't get to see much of that. I'd say one of Arcane's issues with threading so many plots, some of the minor character details always feel like they get lost or there isn't enough of them, especially with secondary characters. Also love how everyone is trying to play their own situation to save their city, meanwhile Ambessa is playing the political play like the fox and the wolf that she is. You can see the moment Salo tells him about how Caitlyn's name bewitches people, so she knew what she had to do. Also love how the name of the episode is both "You got the name right" from Jinx's dialogue, but also "the name right" as how Caitlyn's family name holds so much power.
I thought Salo and Ambessa were talking about Jinx, and how her name bewitches people - frightens them. How Jinx has essentially become the unofficial face of Zaun, at least to the people of Piltover. Ambessa talks about how a "child" beat them in the Council chamber - I'm not sure that would refer to Caitlyn marching in and making demands - seems more likely to mean Jinx blowing them up. But the point about how names have power probably did lead her to decide on Caitlyn (with her influential family name) as her figurehead, rather than Salo. It isn't entirely clear.
@@BlastOffer No, I just checked the scene again: Ambessa said "Perhaps if you hadn't let a child overpower you in your own chamber," presumably referring to Jinx blowing up the Council, Salo replies "It's not the girl. It's the name, it bewitches people," again, almost certainly referring to how Jinx terrifies everybody topside. He then adds, as a sidenote "You should know. Do you really think Mel could've succeeded..." by which point Ambessa interrupts him. Making it clear that he was not talking about Mel at first, Mel is not a child, and he was using the influence of Mel's family name as an example of how Jinx's name influenced people. Which then leads Ambessa to decide she needs someone with a powerful name to lead Piltover, and presumably at that point settles on Caitlyn.
Fun fact - the scenes for the memorial of caits mom look like charcoal painting. Because they are. These were real HANDPAINTED charcoal paintings they then used to animate into. Fortiche is build diffrent
Btw, Cate did miss two times during the fight. She had the shot but she missed only hitting jinx's finger, and second when she hit Vi's gloves when she was aiming to both jinx and the kid. She wasnt thinking straight and is filled with rage hency why she was missing.
small details i noticed during my few watches: viktor says sky had 'such dreams' and looked at her hallucination warmly, before looking down and seeing her sit atop yet another example of jayce's betrayal of him: the hextech weaponry blue prints. i theorise he keeps hallucinating sky because 1. out of guilt or/and 2. she embodies the dream he had to help people, maybe keeps him grounded or maybe its being used against him by the hexcore. another detail that i love, jayce and heimerdinger all talking in the lab with ekko about the runes, and ekko of course came here out of concern for his sacred tree, and when he asks about viktor and jayce's experiments and trails on plants with the hexcore, asking if they survived, and they said the plants werent really their goal to save. ekko looks upset or confused here, obviously not understanding how less important greenery was to the topsiders.
I think Vi hesitated in the end because, there's a child that is holding on to Jinx with care and worry, that doesn't want her to die, which could mean that Jinx isn't like, a complete murder maniac. That makes Vi see there's still a bit of her sister left, some humanity Also, yeah, I do believe Cait wouldnt have missed, but that would have also put the kid in the same spot as Vi and Powder where at the start, with an enforcerer killing important people for them. She would have become exactly what Vi hated about enforcerers
@@microcelltechnicalassistence I don't think it was hesitation, it must not be easy to see the face of who used to be your sister, and having to kill her. I take it more as gathering the strenght to do it. It's not like she even knew the child was there.
Disagree with you on the hit jinx part, she missed before hitting her finger, which showed how she could very well mis. The issue is that either she killed the child, or she traumatized her and the cycle of violence would never stop.
regarding the green fluid, I don't know for sure but it seems like that's the main export of the undercity (the shit they dig underground) and the standard source of electricity. You see it powering a bunch of stuff like the arcade, the lights, etc
8:11 you’re SO real I can’thxhdhhddhc no but seriously the absolute artistry of this show and the amount of care that is put into every single frame is INCREDIBLE
Just my thoughts on the overall Situation. Piltover and the Council always looked down on Zaun. The people have always been suffering, starving, unable to properly breathe. They've been ignored, shunned, attacked and arrested unjustly many times and could do nothing. Living in poisoned air, not enoiugh food. Crime and Murder running rampaned. Their own people ungoverned and unprotected while Piltover never offered help to their own citizens. Then People like Silco take charge because when nobody listens, you make them listen. Piltover and the Council made it worse and worse, widening the gap and treating Zaunites like animals. Now it's gone too far and the people who took charge in Zaun have decided enough is enough. While Terrorism is horrible, Piltover had it coming. These were the consequences of their inaction and ignorance. They've been attacking Zaun and treating them horrible since the day the City exists. But now that they're on the receiving end of the violence they've so often used against the people of Zaun for a change, they cry and play the victim. Refusing to take any accountability for a situation that is very much their fault. Yes Jinx was the aggressor, but she is a representation of Zaun. A genius traumatized by the class divide and resulting violence who has decided that she has had enough and fought back with whatever means, no matter how unproportional, she had at her disposal. Invading Zaun would prove them right. It'd prove that the Council and Topsiders are hypocrites and don't care about Zaunite innocent lifes. They would rally against Piltover. And Caitlyn is now part of this as well. In season one she learned of how Piltover has treated Zaun. "If you do this, the Cycle of Violence will never stop" is what she told Ekko. But now that she's on the receiving end instead of just a spectator she does what she shames and despises Zaunites for, retribution with unproportional force. Another thing with Caitlyn and Vi stopping her from shooting. Caitlyn missed before. She hit Jinx's finger, not her hand or head, which she's have been aiming for. Regardless of that, she was angry and moving. From Vi's perspective, she could very well have missed. And even if she didn't, she'd have blown Jinx's head to pieces while a small child was crying and hugging her. "If you do this, the cycle of violence will never stop." She'd just have made another Jinx and traumatized that child forever. Caitlyn is out of control, motivated only by anger and vengance, not logic and compassion to the innocent that suffer. All that is to say that I don't dislike Caitlyn. I understand her motivation and why she does the things she does. It makes sense for her character. I still think it's wrong. Something that is interesting is that Cait is mirroring Jinx a lot. Acting more and more violent and crazy with little regard for others. For one, when she shoots at the wood mannequin in the Game Room, when she's breathing heavily, there's a short hallucination on her face, like the ones that Jinx usually has. Maybe hinting that she's becoming more and more unwell. War is horrendous. But in all honesty it's what was bound to happen. Piltover brought it on themselves. Innocents on neither side are safe and the people in power only care about themselves. On the other side, Viktor finally gets to use Hextech to help the People of Zaun like he always wanted. Concerning Jinx, it seems to me that she's weirly focused and "sane" (for her standards) these episodes. It's like that since she decided that she's Jinx, that powder is gone and that she isn't hearing Silco or Vi (or Mylo for that matter), her head is finally silent enough for her to actually think on her own. She remains batshit crazy but she seems more collected, focused and for that matter, stable. I think we've only seen her hallucinate once, when Vi walked into the Game Room there were hallucinations on her mask. Jinx has also shown a weird sort of caring for the girl (named Isha by the subtitles). When the air vent explodes, she embraces her to protect her. She takes her along with her. Gives her (messed up) advice and "wisdom". I think it might be setting up a sort of Silco-esque situation where she sees herself in the young helpless orphaned girl and wants to be what Silco was to her. And Mels mother, I hate that bitch with a passion. Which is great. She's a great character. But my god do I hate her. Causing war and discord for personal gain and possibly setting up a takeover of Piltover. With how much power her forces are gathering with the Council and presumably Caitlyn, it's only a matter of time before she could actually take over. I hope Caitlyn sees that and knows how to juggle giving them the power they need to help and keeping them firmly in line. Suffice to say, I love how serious these episodes have been and am excited.
Minor correction: Blowing up the government building of an oppressive regime is not terrorism - by definition. Terrorism is the act of targeting civilians to spread fear. Jinx specifically aimed her rocket at the people most responsible for Zaun's oppression. That's resistance, not terrorism.
@@LadyDoomsingeractually by definition, terrorism is when the terrorist commits acts that TERORIZE, people. Blowing up the building is by definition terrorism, since for piltover the council aren’t aggressors or at fault, which would terrorize the population.
@@Maotrix-RandomGameStuff Sorry, I should have been more clear: That is not Terrorism by the *real* definition, which is to target civilians for the purpose of spreading fear - If you go by the made up definition used to justify war crimes, you would be correct. You know, because "an act that terrorizes" can literally refer to any act of hostility done against a people or nation, and is therefore useless, which is why politicians love it so much when they have to explain why they sent predator drones to kill civilians in another country. Or why they bombed a hospital or a refugee camp.
Really like how you have so much understanding of the plot and point out immediately! Ambessa is such a great manipulator. Now I know where Mel learned to manipulate Jayce into the council in the first season lol
i think the kid (Isha) is, to be blunt, Jinx's redemption arc. "this isn't how it's supposed to be..." - i think Jinx wanted to kill both Vi and herself, Sevika (who didn't know Jinx's intentions imo) triggered the bomb early which i think was to be Jinx's ultimate finger to Piltover. jinxed again.
Glad i wasnt the only one crying at the funeral, it had amazing imagery and music. I got to say tho 😅..It is a little mindboggling you managed to get to season 2 still thinking vi and cait are just friends when their romance plot has been flourishing since episode 5 of season 1 but other than that, amazing video and commentary!
Great reaction! I just want to add thay everything Jayce did this act is 100% justified. I would do the same thing if my best friend and adopted brother was dying. Jayce made weapons ONLY for the 5 members of Caitlyn's exclusove squad, and he only did that after they were attacked by Zaunites and he realised they could not match their weaponry without Hextech. It's also weird how Ekko wants to blame Jayce for everything when Heimerdinger LITERALLY has overseen the deterioration of the Undercity for decades. Heck, part of the reason Jayce got him kicked out of the council was because he his 'wait and see' approach led to the current issues Zaun and Piltover have.
Few things I want to mention here: When Viktor wakes up first thing he sees on the table are the blueprints for the weapons Jayce just made - thats why he decides to leave. Heimer is silly cause he is a yordle. They dont really care about being serious - he might act out and do weird things but if you listen he is very solid on the advice he gives. I wont spoil on the group that attacked Ambessa and kidnapped Mel - all I will say is that Black Rose is extremely dangerous and from Noxus. The temple they are fighting in is dedicated to Janna - she is a wind spirit - and another lol champion. It makes sense that they would worship her since she used to bring them clean air to breath. When Cait says "I wouldn't miss" she references her lines in the game where she says: "Me? Miss? Not by a longshot!" - Fun fact, her passive ability is "headshot" - this was pretty much ideal hit for her. Now ofc we dont know what Jinx was thinking but in a way it was a "look how far my reach goes" terror tactic while at the same time it feels like a rallying cry for the Undercity - since they also see how far her reach is and that it is viable to stand ground. Also honestly its really hard to feel with Vi in this act - I feel like she is acting like a kid. If she cant handle stopping Jinx, why does she insert herself. Goddamn
All good until he end with Vi. It’s her sister the fuck you expect, you could argue the same with Caitlyn, both have lost much but VI is trying to go forwards while cait is letting her rage blind her
@@Maotrix-RandomGameStuff That sister is a terrorist - if she knows she cant do it - why is she placing herself in a situation to get conflicted about it. Its hard to relate to someone who goes so half way for me. Also it feels inherently childish which doesnt seem very Vi.
@@FuFightersStudio it isn’t childish, she was going to kill her until the kid arrived. That isn’t inherently childish, you could say Cait is inherently childish for going out of her way to shoot without control and missing cause she is blinded by rage, or even use her mothers gift to zaun as a weapon. I’m not saying what vi did was good, but saying she shouldn’t struggle it still would happen and it has been characters character since s1.
@@Maotrix-RandomGameStuff she wasnt going to kill her - she wasnt even going to knock her out - she had loads of time and she froze up. Cait was in control - if not for Vi getting in the way she would have easily hit - she doesnt miss like that. What I call childish is the fact that she understands herself so little in this arc that she doesnt know what she will do until she is on the spot - which is peak immaturity. Vi was always mature and understood tough stuff easily - just last season when Jayce accidentally kills a kid she walks up to him and says "kids die here every day - it was worth the cost"
As someone whose Mom was killed by suddenly and violently last October (also happened to have all purple flowers at her service) the scene with Caitlyn’s mother’s funeral hit me HARD.
I think Vi didn’t grab the kid and throw her away is because season 1 episode 3’s tragedy. She hit Powder (which is a kid) and everything changed. I think Vi is seeing the kid as Powder. Moreover, usually ppl would choose to reason with adults than a child, that’s why Vi choose to stop Cait first. It’s just complicated, I feel sorry for both Cait and Vi.😢
I believe Jinx did send the Grey up, just redirected the Grey Cait already used to poison the Undercity back at them. But, because the people of Piltover live above ground with fresh air, it wasn't really the same problem for them, ironically. Glad to catch up with your reactions to this show :)
I will have you know that when I was watching this with my mom the other day, I said the EXACT same thing about Viktor-- "He's Arcane Jesus!" lmao glad to know that seems to be a popular conclusion so far! And as someone who doesn't know much about LoL (except for what Viktor's visual vibe becomes), I am endlessly excited/fascinated/scared to see what happens with him.
I think Viktor also left Jayce because Jayce promised to destroy the Hexcore but he used it to save him. Viktor was ready to die, all his life he knew he had a sickness and he was ready to go but Jayce refused to let him go. If he is ready to use forbidden knowledge to save a life, it means Jayce won’t respect any rules and it’s against Victor’s principles (+ the blueprints he saw that people already explained)
Not a missed easter egg, but a fun piece of meta-lore is that the song that plays at the end of episode 1, "Heavy is the crown", is a cover for the song that Linkin Park made for the 2024 League World Championship!
WE ARE SO BAAACCCKKKK idk how am I supposed to make it alive until next week after thissss 27:14 someone pointed out that Vi looks like a cat when you put clothes on them and i can't unsee it 😹😹😹 One of the things i love the most about this show (besides animation and character design) IS THE SOUNDTRACK, IT NEVER DISAPPOINTS 38:41 "what... am i" "YOU'RE ALIVE" like he doesn't care how Vik looks like he's just so glad he's alive 😭😭😭 and then they ended me with the "it was affection that held us together" BYEEEE THEY GOT ME IN SHAMBLES jayvik breaking up wasn't on my bingo card
Duuude me and my gf laughed so hard when we were watching this and Vi showed up with the enforcer uniformm she just looks sooo uncomfortable man. I actually think they made it like this on purpose, seeing her in this outfit just feels wrong yk
A few things Im theorizing: Heimer is acting more goofy cause he has been responsible for the city for 200 years, now that he is "releived of duty" its the first time in a long time, he feels free and playful. Jayce inadvertantly was abusing the Arcane. The Arcane may have some form of sentience, it doesnt mind being used in small amounts, but if abused will start defending itself. The Black Rose is linked to a particular character in the game, Im excited if it is who I think it is. (pulling this out of thin air) Imagine if Mel sides with the black rose and agrees her mother needs to be defeated, learns black rose magic and comes back to piltover as a witch? that would be crazy! Jinx first attack with the rocket launcher was a regular rocket, so it wasnt affected, the second one was a special attack using the hextech so it exploded on her. Savika was really affected during the fight, cause back in 1x3 she was in the explosion and she has Arcane energy infused into her, denoted by the blue scars on her face. Great reaction, someone who geeks out as much as I do about this show, its so damn good.
So if you want to know: Yes, the thing at the very end is Singed's creation. It's actually a Champion in League of Legends. If you want to know what it's about with no spoilers for Arcane, there's a cinematic Champion Trailer from 7 years ago: ua-cam.com/video/fsnDbealN9E/v-deo.html
Same I don’t know anyone else watching Arcane! So let’s chat! AND same I started crying with that first song during funeral. I was like omg why am I crying already 😢
in the last scene of season 1, while el rocket is flying, the show cuts to different angles. you can see the doctor (Singed) there staring at his locket, which shows the picture of a girl :) love your reactions and cuts
I love that you like the strong but controversial women in Arcane lol Like Ambessa, Sevika and Caitlyn. Yeah, they might not be the nicest people but they're badass!
i see lot of comments about viktor leaving because he saw weapon blueprints but in my opinion as someone who knows the lore from league i think that is completely wrong. Ofc, arcane is setting new lore and its possible that everything i know about viktor is wrong so i could also be wrong about the way i am interpreting this BUT that being said... and i will keep this as spoiler free as possible and only work with informations arcane already gave us... I think blueprints on the table had no relevance in his decision at that point. 1st thing to remember, Viktor already knew about weapons. He already had the thought process about weaponized hextech back when he was dismantling jinx's grenade. So having same thing be relevant much later again without it actually being addressed would in my opinion be mistake. 2nd thing to remember is that Viktor already lost trust in Jayce firstly because of weaponized hextech sure, but secondly because of the blockade and Jayce's attitude towards undercity. Fact that he was hiding the shimmer from Jayce is proof of this. 3rd thing to remember is that Viktor made Jayce promise to destroy the hexcore. 4th thing to remember is that Viktor and Jayce relationship is based on their feeling of owing each other. Viktor saved Jayce life in ep2 by stopping him from jumping and Jayce in pretty much same way saved Viktor for doing same thing. Jayce feels like he owes Viktor because without him he would be dead or banished and he would never achieve anything with his research. Viktor feels like he owes Jayce because for first time in long time Viktor fealt he could do something good and help people in undercity to not suffer the way he did. so with all these things we already knew from season 1 the way i see it is 1. Viktor wakes up, not feeling pain, not feeling cold (these are things he says to Jayce). 2. Viktor realizes that not only Jayce broke his promise and didnt destroy hexcore but also used it on him 3. Given that reason Viktor worked with Jayce in the first place is to find cure for his disease and now disease is not the factor he loses the main reason to work with him. 4. With main reason to work together gone all that is left is emotions and feelings. Friendship, comaradery, partnership... whatever you wanna call it. But that is already gone in season 1. Jayce talking down on undercity during blockade, weaponizing hextech, and prioritizing his role as council instead of his role as Viktor's partner all played role in losing this bond. 5. With trust and bond lost and promise broken decision to stay and work together is completely gone and only thing left that would potentially keep them together is pure emotions and Viktor since leaving the cocoon (for the lack of better words) feels like he is void of emotions so only emotionless pragmatical and logical solution is to go each other ways. 6. We see that he "sees" things that others cant see and seemingly "Skye" is guiding him somewhere so he is just following wherever she leads him. I dont see the relevance of weapon blueprints in his decision making post-transformation at all.
Reading the comments I'm surprised nobody is talking about it, so I want to give some non-spoiler context regarding the Black Rose. The Black Rose is a hidden organisation in Noxus, the nation Mel's family is from. They are a group of incredibly powerful mages and noblemen, talking about their ulterior motive could become a spoiler, so I'm skipping this part (we don't know how Arcane will tackle this). But just know that they are POWERFUL. Their leader, Leblanc, is considered one of, if not the strongest witch in all of runeterra and she is essentially ruling Noxus from the shadows, by manipulating pretty much every political figure in the nation. Now, this begs the question what on earth did Ambessa's son do to anger the Black Rose to THIS degree. Killing the son, chasing Ambessa beyond the borders of Noxus, infiltrating government positions of another nation, and then kidnapping Ambessa's daughter. Depending on how they wan't to handle this story line, things could become REAL ugly, REAL quick lmao
I believe almost all of the teasers and trailers for S2 were in these three episodes (there is one specific one you should not watch yet if you don't want spoilers to Vi during her #AllTimeLow). You should be free to watch the teasers after what I would presume to be this next 3 episode arc, though the full trailer has scenes from the whole season.
Thank you for being the only reactor i've seen that is asking why Jayce and Mel are completely fine. I was yelling at that when i watched it... I need an answer to how they're literally the only two people to come out of the attack COMPLETELY unscratched, especially when Mel was closest to the blast.
I heard theories from LoL players who thought Mel might've been wearing some kind of armor from the game (golden jewelry), but that seems a bit weird to me, in that it wasn't set up or mentioned at all in either Season 1 or 2. As it stands, I can only conclude plot-armor/luck... which is unfortunate for a show this great, but Jayce wasn't going to die no matter what in that scene, he plays too important a role for that - as for Mel; I speculated that she would either die or be badly injured, and that would spur her mother on a path of vengeance - but it seems Ambessa didn't need any further motivation to go down that path.
@@LadyDoomsinger it hasnt been mentioned nor setup but the show does hint toward mel wearing something akin to solari armor, as the gold shined when jinx's missile was about to hit the council which alerted mel, and it shined a second time while jayce was trying to get his bearings back in the first moments of s2 ep1, additionally jayce questioned the exact same thing yall are questioning and it seems like mel isnt aware of it either, so from the looks of it its intentional that theyre hiding info about it in the dark for now
also added to the fact that the gold she wears isnt apart of her dress but rather an undershirt of sorts, as you can see in the shot of her back in the end of s1
The fact we still have 6 episodes left and the 9th episode being longer than the others and I’m left in shambles form act 1… if act 1 is making me this crazy I don’t think it’s gonna get better. I have a very strong love for Vi and Cait and episode 3 just ruined me. I’m really hoping that those two can get back together because I feel like they’re good for each other. I think they’ll get back together because in the trailer we see Vi with Ekko wearing some type of armor? Yeah it looks enforcer like, and those scenes look like Act 3. We also see Caitlyn looking up at something dunno what but she’s wearing a very similar outfit as Vi. Yeah they’ll be teaming up again to say the least, I wanna see them happy though, this show is just amazing and I’ve literally never felt such strong emotions to a ship before it’s ruining me 😭 and I sadly have gotten episode 4 slightly leaked and to say the very least I’m not happy at all. I’m not gonna spoil for anyone else because it’s so annoying to get spoiled by people. I hope these two make it back to each other because I’m not joke gonna be so depressed after the show if they end on a sad note. YES DEPRESSED OVER A SHIP I KNOW
btw what is the song at start of your intro? you have the song in description from end of the video but i wanna know what is the prologue song (or is it just soundtrack you adding?)
Since temu Vander still doesn't have a name I'm calling Peanut Papi. I love his design and that he seems to have some moral fiber. I want more story on him but I don't think he is champion, at least not yet.
The thing is the city leaders that died in a jinx explosion at the start were to onne that pushed for peace i dont really see a reason to dislike them strongly
They pushed for peace at literally the last possible moment, and Jayce literally had to bully them into it. They've spent their entire careers neglecting and abusing the people of Zaun. That's why I dislike them so strongly. And all of Piltover. Doing the right thing is great... but it doesn't undo all the damage you did up until that point. Jinx is literally a result of the generational and systemic failures of Piltover's government.
Aooooooooooooo, WW Inc (those who know know.) Btw: "The Gray" has been explained to just be trapped smog from factories and sht, so, it's hard to breath but not actually toxic as in deadly. Also, the people who don't know "she will never become an enforcer", while her official champion title is "Vi - The Enforcer", and "Caitlyn - The Sheriff", tho tbf, it could be changed do to Arcane beeing the Canon. Also, I love Moses-Viktor so much. TBH, based on his ingame design (and also him being very old Champion) I never liked him much (one of my least played mages). But damn, out of all the Champs in Arcane, Jayce was my favorite, until this EP2. Viktor ftw hly sht, he my type. Also Heimer is adorable... considering in the very old version of the game, before the graphic update.. his head looked like a yellow brain. (which is why i also didnt like him much), but they made him so loveable in arcane. The trio of Jayce, Ekko and Heimerdinger is awsome, best partnership ever. love it! Also, Blackrose hype. I wonder if this is the starting point of tv series and movies, that will lead us to a biiiiig cross-game and cross-media event facing Mordekaiser. Could be super epic (like in... 20y or so XD at least maybe the MMO could be part of it by then? hopefully?)
The Gray is not "immediately" deadly - as in you don't choke and drop dead from breathing it. That doesn't mean it doesn't have long-term consequences, such as long-lasting lung-damage, cancer, or just some generic "sickness" like Viktor's, that doesn't really get explained. And either way, releasing chemical weapons on a civilian population is still pretty damn messed up, even if it's not "technically" lethal. Like, look at how people affected by it gasp for breath; that is literal torture.
As you said, it makes no sense for Vi to stop Cait for the child, she could have just taken the child away. The child was just an excuse. Vi was the first one who could hit Jinx with her gountlets, but in the end she didn't and then she stopped Cait. Vi knew very well that Cait never missed a shot with her rifle, she would never miss from that distance and Cait knows that Vi knows it. That's why she feels even more betrayed, when Vi tries to justify herself using the child as an excuse, which made Cait feel mocked, as well as betrayed.
at the same time from vi’s perspective her trauma with enforcers and experience with powder probably kicked in at that moment. she knew that kid saw her as the same villain she saw enforcers as when she was a child which is probably why she didn’t want to forcefully drag the little girl away. most logical decision? no. most in character decision for vi? yeah. i’d say it makes sense in the context of her character tbh
Dude, Caitlyn literally just missed her shot - twice. First shooting off Jinxes finger (I don't care what anyone says, THAT wasn't an intentional shot, because that would be fucking stupid) Second hitting Vi's shoulder when Vi gets between Caitlyn and Jinx. Not saying that Vi might not be conflicted about killing Jinx - that might well be the case, she might have had a change of heart in the actual situation. But Caitlyn objectively, factually could have missed again. As for taking the child away, Vi was pretty obviously convinced Caitlyn would fire immediately, grabbing the child and moving her away might not get her out of harms way before the shot was fired - she prioritized stopping Cait instead. Whether that was the right call or not, I think is subjective - but Vi's character has been pretty consistent in not always doing the logical thing, and just acting with her fists when situations get out of hand.
@LadyDoomsinger Caitlyn didn't missed, first one hit Jinx moving hand in a long range shot, hand she was aming. Have you idea of how difficoult it is? That shot wasn't for kill proof once again how good she is. Second shot was incerpted by Vi with gountlet, non with shoulder Vi is not wounded. Caitlyn aimed good, Vi just put is gounglet on the line You have comfermation bias, dude Vi was littelay on Jinx and child, grab it away was faster then get up and put her self in the line. Dude, really what are you talking about. She easly grab the child with a gauntled and lift her up, withou even get up and stand over Jinx. Seriously, whatch it again.
@@mlivraghi Explain to me, please, how shooting off Jinx's middle finger is *in any way whatsoever* helpful to anyone. Are you saying Caitlyn is an idiot, because that's literally the only reason she would deliberately aim for Jinx's middle finger, and leave Jinx both alive and with pretty much full function of her injured hand, rather than *literally* any other part of her body: She could've aimed for the head for an instant kill shot. She could've aimed for her hand or arm to render it useless in the fight. She could've aimed for her legs to sabotage her mobility. She could've aimed for Jinx's *fucking trigger finger* - what possible reason would she have to aim at Jinx's middle finger? She missed. The confirmation bias is on your side.
@@LadyDoomsinger You have letteraly have sight problem. Confermated by the fat that your not eable to read too. I have wrote "moving hand" in a combat that moving hyper fast. Never wrote "middle finger" even once. Obviously wasn't aiming middle finger, but first you say "she missed" we are talking about 3cm from a 50/60 meters, on a fucking moving hand, is a impossible shot, impossibile and is a WAY harder then hit Jinx head, while she isn't moving, from 10 meters. Repear you have really tonrewatch it with open mind
Jinx weapons are not hextech. She used hextech gemstone to power the nuke she fired in season 1 finalle but her other weapons are just junkyard metal scrapped together. Jinx doesnt have gemstones to make hextech weaponry she is just putting scrap together the same way she did when she was kid EDIT: actually, if anything she is more likely to use shimmer for her weapons instead hextech
The shark canon she used in ep 3 is hextech we can see it get affected when jinx jumps and super speed about to shoot then it exploded making the gemstone fell to the ground
@@jmlxrni i had to rewatch the scene multiple times before i saw what you talking about. And as much i hate when i am wrong i always admit it. Her shark canon has gemstones in the eyes which is why when she powered it with gemstone for the "big bang" it glitched like all the other hextech weapons and exploded. What i dont understand (and is reason for my mistake) is that she uses the same shark canon when all the weapons starts glitching and canon itself works fine, Jinx is not harmed by carrying the shark canon, it wasnt glitching and it fired just fine shooting the missile that exploded properly. then during the scene where she jumps it looks like its the missile that explodes as if missile itself is hextech not the canon but i could be wrong. also regarding the jumping scene imo thats brilliant eye for the details and excellent writing as Jinx was never portrayed as strong and athletic individual so trying to jump in air with such a heavy machinery would be imposible or counter productive. But throwing it in air while your feet are on the ground for leverage and then using your shimmer enchanced speed to jump high enough to grab it and get to its highest point before it is just peak fiction. And still all the other weapons jinx made including Sevika's new arm are just scraps so they never glitched
@@frankcayseron8637 the normal bullet from her shark cannon is not hextech powered, only the big red missile is using the power of hextech (the bullets are different)thats why its not glitching at first because shes still not using it with hextech. Its based on her abilities in game.
@@jmlxrni i know about the game abilities (1st shot being her alternative Q and the jumping one being her ULT) SO it is the big missile that is hextech only, the normal shark missiles are fine like all the other weapons she uses. Initially my comment and point stands, but i am still thankfull you pointing out the detail i missed. Also i think it is important that gemstone falls down and looks seemingly fine. Maybe Arcane is rejecting hextech which is why gemstones are trying to escape the weapons? Could be cool twist for both first time watchers and the league players as arcane is completley new concept for us too (at least in the form we are seeing in s2 for first time). Maybe arcane thinks it has no need for hextech as something better came up (alluding to whats happening to Viktor)
Hi. I Dont know you and you Dont know me, but when I listened to the intro I got the feeling you don’t have many in your life? Could of course be totally wrong. But just wanted you to know that if yo ARE lonely and want a friend, pal, bro, or just someone to write to, you have a friend in me. I have too much love and not enough people to share it with 😊 cheers 🤘🏼
thank you, people dont realize that vi is the one who doesnt want or cant kill jinx, she shouldnt have gone with cait if that is what gonna happened, cait was right this time
Cait wasn't right she was going to kill a child, but was fine with kiling jinx as she gives cait the shot, yes she hesitated when she had the chance but it was a second, she was going to finish the job and them isha shows up, leading to cait almost shoting a inocent kid
@ she said she was not gonna miss and i believe her. Cait was absolutely right, vi couldn’t kill jinx, and apart from that, she stopped her too. The child was an excuse, every physical language from vi says that she wouldn’t kill jinx even if she has the chance. So yeah, cait has the right to be mad, because she asked vi a lot of times if she was alright with what they were gonna do and vi says that she was ready when obviously she was not
@@tanianeira9532 she was gonna miss, don't Trust the person that is BREAKING APART from trauma and grief, vi was literally going to finish Jinx after a Second of hesitation when isha got in the Way, and vi Also let cait get her shot in the start of the fight she looked away, either she was going to finish Jinx, or get her in prison anyway Without killing her, we have no reason to Trust caitlyn but have reasons to distrust her judgement.
"Why is Heimerdinger acting like an idiot, I don't like it" yeah his entire character is beyond annoying to me LOL every time he shows up it makes me sigh. The only time he was good was when he got mad over the hexcore because he finally showed some kind of competence/care for people. Writing long lived species having the emotional intelligence/object permanenance of a child is something I highly dislike and they're doing it in spades with him. He alongside Vi (shockingly) are the show's worst written characters imo
I don't like Salo's dialogue after the crash, so out of touch and entitled way of thinking "how many more councilors have to be blown to piece before u wake up?" well, how many more undercity people, kids even have to die before the councilor decides to act to help them or stop dehumanizing them? that if they mattered to them at all. I just find it infuriating that now that it happened to them they want war but when the undercity people are retaliating against the uppercity's abuse they're evil, animals and subhumans. crazy. had to get this off my chest lmfao
We are so back baby
I could be completely wrong here.. but if you re watch the scene when viktor wakes up hes see all the blue prints on the desk of the hex tech weapons that jayce is making and dont want to be apart of it so he just dips after he sees it.
Hmmmmm interesting I didn't even think of that
Jayce has done everything that Viktor didn't want.
Yeah, and he didnt even argue or reason with jayce because it seems like he lost emotions on the evolution.
Might be right but might also be an oversight because during the whole "in the pursuit of great, we failed to do good" scene in season 1 x 9 Jayce has the hextech hammer he made with him, so Viktor should already be aware that that's what has been going on.
I wouldn't call it an oversight. The hammer and gauntlet weren't originally made to be weapons. When they were showing it to Heimerdinger they said it was to help with mining and building in the under city. Jayce and Vi ended up using them as weapons instead of tools.The new blue prints are strictly for weapons which victor was against.
BRO THE "LET'S GO GAMBLING" EDIT WAS SO PEAK
Hahhah I'm glad someone liked it!
I just saw that part as I was reading this comment and it made me spit out my water lol you just gained a new subscriber
@@J1ntu LETS GO!!
I just realized:
Season 1 Episode 2: Enforcers come to the arcade looking for Powder, who bombed a building in Piltover.
Season 2 Episode 2: Enforcers come to the arcade looking for Jinx, who bombed a building in Piltover. 😅
at least she didnt do it on purpose the first time lul^^
@@datzfatz2368 True, but did you notice how little difference that actually made?
In season 1, Topside knew the materials used to cause the explosion belongs to Jayce, they knew the people "responsible" were 4 kids, and they knew it was a break-in gone wrong, they *knew* it was an accident... And *yet* they sent enforcers to the underground in force to root out the "criminals" so people in Piltover would "feel" safe - coerced and interrogated random citizens living in the undercity looking for the culprits, and were willing to employ violence to catch them.
No different from how they hunted Jinx in season 2.
@LadyDoomsinger well yeah obviouly, thats the joke i Was making^^ the parallels and social commentary are very much the point in the story
@@datzfatz2368 Ah. I guess /whoosh on me then 😆
1:09:00 so here Jinx says "never thought my sister would turn bluebelly" and Vi responds with "never thought mine would orphan kids". Both very heavy lines as it was enforcers (bluebellies) who orphaned vi and jinx. Jinx cant believe Vi would become the very enemy they feared and hated all their lives (enforcers) and Vi cant believe Jinx is doing to others one of the worst thing to happen to them as kids. Reason i am pointing out this scene is because in my opinion reason Vi doesnt just shove kid away from Jinx or grab her or whatever is because in that moment she did not care about how to save kid from jinx but thinking about how killing jinx would "orphan" this kid. Ofc Vi doesnt have any idea who this kid is but she is seeing with her own eyes that this kid is willing to kill and/or die in order to save Jinx. For Vi who already did one unimaginable thing (joining enforcers) and used the other thing as excuse or justification (other thing being jinx orphaning kids) i imagine Vi struggled deeply to justify killing jinx in that momment seeing that she would do the very thing she is condemning jinx for.
To try and make comparison. Batman is vigilantee who ignores the law and boundaries and justifies it by saying criminals made him into who he is by killing his parents making him orphan. And reason he doesnt kill is because he knows if he crosses that line he will be forever lost and who knows what would happen. Its somewhat same thing. Just like how batman knows that he is not entirely in the right and refuses to kill in order to save the last shred of his soul, Vi is clinging on the fact that Jinx must be stopped aas she is orphaning kids and whatnot. So for Vi to kill Jinx there after seeing the child protecting her would be same as for Batman to start killing
I didn't expect Mel's mom to be such an interesting villain for this season, she is so menacing.
She is dangerous alright
Eh, it was expected, her presence in season 1 was already concerning
A general with Warmason training is an insane threat for the stability of any independent city-state, let alone one who had half its leadership caste assassinated in the midst of a civil war being brought to a boil.
40:09 I think Viktor decided to leave, after he saw the blueprints of the Hextech weapons on the desk.
Another reason why Viktor left Jayce the way he did in episode 2 is because he saw the plans for the hextech weapon he made for Caitlyn when he took Sky's book off the table. Jayce promised Viktor that he would never make a hextech weapon again (a very subtle detail they showed us from Viktor's point of view)
Going back to Episode 1, in the last scene where Jayce places the hextech crystal in Caitlyn's new weapon, we see a disturbed look on Viktor's face. It's as if he felt it.
Hmmmmm true true! I didn't even think of that in the moment
holy crap i didn't connect the hextech weapon and viktor's expression in ep 1 that's crazy
35:00 I think a lot of people misunderstands Sevika in season 1. She agreed on the concepts of not giving your people to topside, the thing that broke the camel's back for her was that topside was insisting on pushing them and Vander's plan was to do nothing and hope that Piltover wouldn't screw them too much.
I also believe that Heimerdinger is very scientifically proficient, he knows his ways around science, but he was always very whimsical and joyous, I think we didn't get to see much of that.
I'd say one of Arcane's issues with threading so many plots, some of the minor character details always feel like they get lost or there isn't enough of them, especially with secondary characters.
Also love how everyone is trying to play their own situation to save their city, meanwhile Ambessa is playing the political play like the fox and the wolf that she is. You can see the moment Salo tells him about how Caitlyn's name bewitches people, so she knew what she had to do.
Also love how the name of the episode is both "You got the name right" from Jinx's dialogue, but also "the name right" as how Caitlyn's family name holds so much power.
Salo spoke of Mel, the Medarda name, which is why Ambessa got mad he belittles Mel's skills beyond the name
Hmmmm so man good points here. I did notice how she realized Caitlyn's name in that moment which was a cool detail
I thought Salo and Ambessa were talking about Jinx, and how her name bewitches people - frightens them. How Jinx has essentially become the unofficial face of Zaun, at least to the people of Piltover.
Ambessa talks about how a "child" beat them in the Council chamber - I'm not sure that would refer to Caitlyn marching in and making demands - seems more likely to mean Jinx blowing them up. But the point about how names have power probably did lead her to decide on Caitlyn (with her influential family name) as her figurehead, rather than Salo. It isn't entirely clear.
@LadyDoomsinger child meant Mel, salo also say "like you know" as she is also Medarda
@@BlastOffer No, I just checked the scene again: Ambessa said "Perhaps if you hadn't let a child overpower you in your own chamber," presumably referring to Jinx blowing up the Council, Salo replies "It's not the girl. It's the name, it bewitches people," again, almost certainly referring to how Jinx terrifies everybody topside. He then adds, as a sidenote "You should know. Do you really think Mel could've succeeded..." by which point Ambessa interrupts him. Making it clear that he was not talking about Mel at first, Mel is not a child, and he was using the influence of Mel's family name as an example of how Jinx's name influenced people. Which then leads Ambessa to decide she needs someone with a powerful name to lead Piltover, and presumably at that point settles on Caitlyn.
Fun fact - the scenes for the memorial of caits mom look like charcoal painting. Because they are. These were real HANDPAINTED charcoal paintings they then used to animate into. Fortiche is build diffrent
That is insane
Btw, Cate did miss two times during the fight. She had the shot but she missed only hitting jinx's finger, and second when she hit Vi's gloves when she was aiming to both jinx and the kid. She wasnt thinking straight and is filled with rage hency why she was missing.
cate is unreal
The first shot she takes at Jinx hand is intentional, she stopped the punch she was going to throw at Vi.
first miss she was aiming at jinx hand second one aiming at vi to move away
she didnt miss lmao.
@@deathgoat4978 jinx hands was intentional, second one vi got in her way
small details i noticed during my few watches: viktor says sky had 'such dreams' and looked at her hallucination warmly, before looking down and seeing her sit atop yet another example of jayce's betrayal of him: the hextech weaponry blue prints. i theorise he keeps hallucinating sky because 1. out of guilt or/and 2. she embodies the dream he had to help people, maybe keeps him grounded or maybe its being used against him by the hexcore.
another detail that i love, jayce and heimerdinger all talking in the lab with ekko about the runes, and ekko of course came here out of concern for his sacred tree, and when he asks about viktor and jayce's experiments and trails on plants with the hexcore, asking if they survived, and they said the plants werent really their goal to save. ekko looks upset or confused here, obviously not understanding how less important greenery was to the topsiders.
I think Vi hesitated in the end because, there's a child that is holding on to Jinx with care and worry, that doesn't want her to die, which could mean that Jinx isn't like, a complete murder maniac. That makes Vi see there's still a bit of her sister left, some humanity
Also, yeah, I do believe Cait wouldnt have missed, but that would have also put the kid in the same spot as Vi and Powder where at the start, with an enforcerer killing important people for them. She would have become exactly what Vi hated about enforcerers
She hesitated before giving time to the child get there and give the ultimato stoping her dead in her tracks
@@microcelltechnicalassistence I don't think it was hesitation, it must not be easy to see the face of who used to be your sister, and having to kill her. I take it more as gathering the strenght to do it.
It's not like she even knew the child was there.
@omgHeYa thats what we call hesitation and overcoming It.
Disagree with you on the hit jinx part, she missed before hitting her finger, which showed how she could very well mis. The issue is that either she killed the child, or she traumatized her and the cycle of violence would never stop.
@Maotrix-RandomGameStuff or killed Jinx and the kid becoming a Full fledged Monster, as in the end Jinx and isha Heads could be shot at the same time
I absolutely LOVED act 1, from my wife Sevika returning with the best fight scene to Viktor's "Wake up and Break up" accidental jesus arc 😂
hahahah it was cinema all round
I like how you completely forgot the merchant sold out Vi and Cait to Silco for a hit of shimmer last season
regarding the green fluid, I don't know for sure but it seems like that's the main export of the undercity (the shit they dig underground) and the standard source of electricity. You see it powering a bunch of stuff like the arcade, the lights, etc
I think it's known in the community as Chemtech
23:34 "if it wasn't You that set it up" made me cry laughing 😂😂
played myself hahha
8:11 you’re SO real I can’thxhdhhddhc no but seriously the absolute artistry of this show and the amount of care that is put into every single frame is INCREDIBLE
Hahahah they put together soooo much effort into the whole show
Just my thoughts on the overall Situation.
Piltover and the Council always looked down on Zaun. The people have always been suffering, starving, unable to properly breathe. They've been ignored, shunned, attacked and arrested unjustly many times and could do nothing. Living in poisoned air, not enoiugh food. Crime and Murder running rampaned. Their own people ungoverned and unprotected while Piltover never offered help to their own citizens. Then People like Silco take charge because when nobody listens, you make them listen.
Piltover and the Council made it worse and worse, widening the gap and treating Zaunites like animals. Now it's gone too far and the people who took charge in Zaun have decided enough is enough.
While Terrorism is horrible, Piltover had it coming. These were the consequences of their inaction and ignorance. They've been attacking Zaun and treating them horrible since the day the City exists. But now that they're on the receiving end of the violence they've so often used against the people of Zaun for a change, they cry and play the victim. Refusing to take any accountability for a situation that is very much their fault.
Yes Jinx was the aggressor, but she is a representation of Zaun. A genius traumatized by the class divide and resulting violence who has decided that she has had enough and fought back with whatever means, no matter how unproportional, she had at her disposal.
Invading Zaun would prove them right. It'd prove that the Council and Topsiders are hypocrites and don't care about Zaunite innocent lifes. They would rally against Piltover.
And Caitlyn is now part of this as well. In season one she learned of how Piltover has treated Zaun. "If you do this, the Cycle of Violence will never stop" is what she told Ekko. But now that she's on the receiving end instead of just a spectator she does what she shames and despises Zaunites for, retribution with unproportional force.
Another thing with Caitlyn and Vi stopping her from shooting. Caitlyn missed before. She hit Jinx's finger, not her hand or head, which she's have been aiming for. Regardless of that, she was angry and moving. From Vi's perspective, she could very well have missed. And even if she didn't, she'd have blown Jinx's head to pieces while a small child was crying and hugging her. "If you do this, the cycle of violence will never stop." She'd just have made another Jinx and traumatized that child forever.
Caitlyn is out of control, motivated only by anger and vengance, not logic and compassion to the innocent that suffer.
All that is to say that I don't dislike Caitlyn. I understand her motivation and why she does the things she does. It makes sense for her character. I still think it's wrong.
Something that is interesting is that Cait is mirroring Jinx a lot. Acting more and more violent and crazy with little regard for others. For one, when she shoots at the wood mannequin in the Game Room, when she's breathing heavily, there's a short hallucination on her face, like the ones that Jinx usually has. Maybe hinting that she's becoming more and more unwell.
War is horrendous. But in all honesty it's what was bound to happen. Piltover brought it on themselves. Innocents on neither side are safe and the people in power only care about themselves.
On the other side, Viktor finally gets to use Hextech to help the People of Zaun like he always wanted.
Concerning Jinx, it seems to me that she's weirly focused and "sane" (for her standards) these episodes. It's like that since she decided that she's Jinx, that powder is gone and that she isn't hearing Silco or Vi (or Mylo for that matter), her head is finally silent enough for her to actually think on her own. She remains batshit crazy but she seems more collected, focused and for that matter, stable. I think we've only seen her hallucinate once, when Vi walked into the Game Room there were hallucinations on her mask.
Jinx has also shown a weird sort of caring for the girl (named Isha by the subtitles). When the air vent explodes, she embraces her to protect her. She takes her along with her. Gives her (messed up) advice and "wisdom". I think it might be setting up a sort of Silco-esque situation where she sees herself in the young helpless orphaned girl and wants to be what Silco was to her.
And Mels mother, I hate that bitch with a passion. Which is great. She's a great character. But my god do I hate her. Causing war and discord for personal gain and possibly setting up a takeover of Piltover. With how much power her forces are gathering with the Council and presumably Caitlyn, it's only a matter of time before she could actually take over. I hope Caitlyn sees that and knows how to juggle giving them the power they need to help and keeping them firmly in line.
Suffice to say, I love how serious these episodes have been and am excited.
Minor correction: Blowing up the government building of an oppressive regime is not terrorism - by definition.
Terrorism is the act of targeting civilians to spread fear. Jinx specifically aimed her rocket at the people most responsible for Zaun's oppression. That's resistance, not terrorism.
@@LadyDoomsingeractually by definition, terrorism is when the terrorist commits acts that TERORIZE, people. Blowing up the building is by definition terrorism, since for piltover the council aren’t aggressors or at fault, which would terrorize the population.
EXACTLY I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE MISS THE FACT THAT CAITS AIM WASNT GOOD CAUSE SHE IS BLINDED BY RAHE
@@Maotrix-RandomGameStuff Sorry, I should have been more clear: That is not Terrorism by the *real* definition, which is to target civilians for the purpose of spreading fear - If you go by the made up definition used to justify war crimes, you would be correct.
You know, because "an act that terrorizes" can literally refer to any act of hostility done against a people or nation, and is therefore useless, which is why politicians love it so much when they have to explain why they sent predator drones to kill civilians in another country. Or why they bombed a hospital or a refugee camp.
Really like how you have so much understanding of the plot and point out immediately! Ambessa is such a great manipulator. Now I know where Mel learned to manipulate Jayce into the council in the first season lol
i think the kid (Isha) is, to be blunt, Jinx's redemption arc.
"this isn't how it's supposed to be..." - i think Jinx wanted to kill both Vi and herself, Sevika (who didn't know Jinx's intentions imo) triggered the bomb early which i think was to be Jinx's ultimate finger to Piltover. jinxed again.
I think she just wanted to kill herself with a last fight where the right person wins
7:03 "how many more councilors have to be BLOWN TO PIECES" bro thought he was cooking there unfortunately
OH MY GOOOSH!! I can’t believe you’re uploading arcane reaction so fast. I so LOVE your reaction!! Thank you so much 💛💛
speaking of this show's budget, apparently it was $250M for 18 episodes, so basically 14 mill per episodes... so yeah, it's a lot
They said that was including promotion so it's much less than that.
Thats crazy!
@@lachyywhitestill 4x less than the spiderverse movies btw
Glad i wasnt the only one crying at the funeral, it had amazing imagery and music.
I got to say tho 😅..It is a little mindboggling you managed to get to season 2 still thinking vi and cait are just friends when their romance plot has been flourishing since episode 5 of season 1 but other than that, amazing video and commentary!
Great reaction!
I just want to add thay everything Jayce did this act is 100% justified. I would do the same thing if my best friend and adopted brother was dying. Jayce made weapons ONLY for the 5 members of Caitlyn's exclusove squad, and he only did that after they were attacked by Zaunites and he realised they could not match their weaponry without Hextech. It's also weird how Ekko wants to blame Jayce for everything when Heimerdinger LITERALLY has overseen the deterioration of the Undercity for decades. Heck, part of the reason Jayce got him kicked out of the council was because he his 'wait and see' approach led to the current issues Zaun and Piltover have.
Facts all-round. I always think jayce makes pretty good decisions.
Few things I want to mention here:
When Viktor wakes up first thing he sees on the table are the blueprints for the weapons Jayce just made - thats why he decides to leave.
Heimer is silly cause he is a yordle. They dont really care about being serious - he might act out and do weird things but if you listen he is very solid on the advice he gives.
I wont spoil on the group that attacked Ambessa and kidnapped Mel - all I will say is that Black Rose is extremely dangerous and from Noxus.
The temple they are fighting in is dedicated to Janna - she is a wind spirit - and another lol champion. It makes sense that they would worship her since she used to bring them clean air to breath.
When Cait says "I wouldn't miss" she references her lines in the game where she says: "Me? Miss? Not by a longshot!" - Fun fact, her passive ability is "headshot" - this was pretty much ideal hit for her.
Now ofc we dont know what Jinx was thinking but in a way it was a "look how far my reach goes" terror tactic while at the same time it feels like a rallying cry for the Undercity - since they also see how far her reach is and that it is viable to stand ground.
Also honestly its really hard to feel with Vi in this act - I feel like she is acting like a kid. If she cant handle stopping Jinx, why does she insert herself. Goddamn
I love a lot of those details its super cool! And I'm super eager to learn more about the black rose
All good until he end with Vi. It’s her sister the fuck you expect, you could argue the same with Caitlyn, both have lost much but VI is trying to go forwards while cait is letting her rage blind her
@@Maotrix-RandomGameStuff That sister is a terrorist - if she knows she cant do it - why is she placing herself in a situation to get conflicted about it. Its hard to relate to someone who goes so half way for me. Also it feels inherently childish which doesnt seem very Vi.
@@FuFightersStudio it isn’t childish, she was going to kill her until the kid arrived. That isn’t inherently childish, you could say Cait is inherently childish for going out of her way to shoot without control and missing cause she is blinded by rage, or even use her mothers gift to zaun as a weapon. I’m not saying what vi did was good, but saying she shouldn’t struggle it still would happen and it has been characters character since s1.
@@Maotrix-RandomGameStuff she wasnt going to kill her - she wasnt even going to knock her out - she had loads of time and she froze up. Cait was in control - if not for Vi getting in the way she would have easily hit - she doesnt miss like that.
What I call childish is the fact that she understands herself so little in this arc that she doesnt know what she will do until she is on the spot - which is peak immaturity. Vi was always mature and understood tough stuff easily - just last season when Jayce accidentally kills a kid she walks up to him and says "kids die here every day - it was worth the cost"
As someone whose Mom was killed by suddenly and violently last October (also happened to have all purple flowers at her service) the scene with Caitlyn’s mother’s funeral hit me HARD.
I’m so sorry to hear that! I imagine that scene would have been extra hard. I hope you’re doing okay legend
I will say no more, because I don't want to spoil anything, but players of the game know exactly what that thing the doctor had at the end is
I think Vi didn’t grab the kid and throw her away is because season 1 episode 3’s tragedy. She hit Powder (which is a kid) and everything changed. I think Vi is seeing the kid as Powder. Moreover, usually ppl would choose to reason with adults than a child, that’s why Vi choose to stop Cait first.
It’s just complicated, I feel sorry for both Cait and Vi.😢
Facts so do I, everyones been sharing such great break downs of the situations
I believe Jinx did send the Grey up, just redirected the Grey Cait already used to poison the Undercity back at them. But, because the people of Piltover live above ground with fresh air, it wasn't really the same problem for them, ironically. Glad to catch up with your reactions to this show :)
They are freaking bio-hacking our emotions..but thats also one of the coolest parts of this show how we can relate in different ways......
I will have you know that when I was watching this with my mom the other day, I said the EXACT same thing about Viktor-- "He's Arcane Jesus!" lmao glad to know that seems to be a popular conclusion so far! And as someone who doesn't know much about LoL (except for what Viktor's visual vibe becomes), I am endlessly excited/fascinated/scared to see what happens with him.
«little spoon game all day.» hahah you are great for that! XD
Rise up hahah
I think Viktor also left Jayce because Jayce promised to destroy the Hexcore but he used it to save him. Viktor was ready to die, all his life he knew he had a sickness and he was ready to go but Jayce refused to let him go. If he is ready to use forbidden knowledge to save a life, it means Jayce won’t respect any rules and it’s against Victor’s principles (+ the blueprints he saw that people already explained)
Not a missed easter egg, but a fun piece of meta-lore is that the song that plays at the end of episode 1, "Heavy is the crown", is a cover for the song that Linkin Park made for the 2024 League World Championship!
WE ARE SO BAAACCCKKKK idk how am I supposed to make it alive until next week after thissss
27:14 someone pointed out that Vi looks like a cat when you put clothes on them and i can't unsee it 😹😹😹
One of the things i love the most about this show (besides animation and character design) IS THE SOUNDTRACK, IT NEVER DISAPPOINTS
38:41 "what... am i" "YOU'RE ALIVE" like he doesn't care how Vik looks like he's just so glad he's alive 😭😭😭 and then they ended me with the "it was affection that held us together" BYEEEE THEY GOT ME IN SHAMBLES jayvik breaking up wasn't on my bingo card
Duuude me and my gf laughed so hard when we were watching this and Vi showed up with the enforcer uniformm she just looks sooo uncomfortable man. I actually think they made it like this on purpose, seeing her in this outfit just feels wrong yk
The jayvik break up was definitely not something I was expecting and got me in the feels
Cait about to pop that poor boy Heenot bcs he has allergies lmao
“They do not have the budget!” - 250 million dollars. That’s the budget of Arcane. So yeah, they kinda do have the budget
Hahaha i meant to say they dont have a budget, meaning they have infinite money to spend because its so good haahha
i've watched your reaction twice already its that good 😂❤
That means the world to me! I'm really glad you're enjoying it 👑♥
33:40 “a gas attack... The Germans are here?" well as it turns out... Yeah. Lmao loved your unintentional foreshadowing.
A few things Im theorizing:
Heimer is acting more goofy cause he has been responsible for the city for 200 years, now that he is "releived of duty" its the first time in a long time, he feels free and playful.
Jayce inadvertantly was abusing the Arcane. The Arcane may have some form of sentience, it doesnt mind being used in small amounts, but if abused will start defending itself.
The Black Rose is linked to a particular character in the game, Im excited if it is who I think it is.
(pulling this out of thin air) Imagine if Mel sides with the black rose and agrees her mother needs to be defeated, learns black rose magic and comes back to piltover as a witch? that would be crazy!
Jinx first attack with the rocket launcher was a regular rocket, so it wasnt affected, the second one was a special attack using the hextech so it exploded on her.
Savika was really affected during the fight, cause back in 1x3 she was in the explosion and she has Arcane energy infused into her, denoted by the blue scars on her face.
Great reaction, someone who geeks out as much as I do about this show, its so damn good.
24:10 got me wheezing 😂
Instantly proven wrong hahah
"she likes it" 🤣
Lachy you forget that last season the merchant sold Vi and Caitlyn to Silco right after Cait hugged him
"Is Caitlyn going down a bad path?"
BE PREPARED!
Not my dictator queen
So if you want to know: Yes, the thing at the very end is Singed's creation. It's actually a Champion in League of Legends. If you want to know what it's about with no spoilers for Arcane, there's a cinematic Champion Trailer from 7 years ago: ua-cam.com/video/fsnDbealN9E/v-deo.html
Same I don’t know anyone else watching Arcane! So let’s chat! AND same I started crying with that first song during funeral. I was like omg why am I crying already 😢
That funeral scene broke me so quickly hahahah
in the last scene of season 1, while el rocket is flying, the show cuts to different angles. you can see the doctor (Singed) there staring at his locket, which shows the picture of a girl :) love your reactions and cuts
I do remember that! I can't wait to see what he's working on
love your reaction man, you're hilarious 😂
saw the outro and IMMEDIATELY liked
Let’s goooooo
The meme's ICANT 😂
Helping me deal with my feelings hahahah
I love that you like the strong but controversial women in Arcane lol Like Ambessa, Sevika and Caitlyn. Yeah, they might not be the nicest people but they're badass!
Still weird to me that Caitlyn is on that list now...
12:20 Not you agreeing with his survivors guilt💀
i see lot of comments about viktor leaving because he saw weapon blueprints but in my opinion as someone who knows the lore from league i think that is completely wrong. Ofc, arcane is setting new lore and its possible that everything i know about viktor is wrong so i could also be wrong about the way i am interpreting this BUT that being said... and i will keep this as spoiler free as possible and only work with informations arcane already gave us... I think blueprints on the table had no relevance in his decision at that point.
1st thing to remember, Viktor already knew about weapons. He already had the thought process about weaponized hextech back when he was dismantling jinx's grenade. So having same thing be relevant much later again without it actually being addressed would in my opinion be mistake.
2nd thing to remember is that Viktor already lost trust in Jayce firstly because of weaponized hextech sure, but secondly because of the blockade and Jayce's attitude towards undercity. Fact that he was hiding the shimmer from Jayce is proof of this.
3rd thing to remember is that Viktor made Jayce promise to destroy the hexcore.
4th thing to remember is that Viktor and Jayce relationship is based on their feeling of owing each other. Viktor saved Jayce life in ep2 by stopping him from jumping and Jayce in pretty much same way saved Viktor for doing same thing. Jayce feels like he owes Viktor because without him he would be dead or banished and he would never achieve anything with his research. Viktor feels like he owes Jayce because for first time in long time Viktor fealt he could do something good and help people in undercity to not suffer the way he did.
so with all these things we already knew from season 1 the way i see it is
1. Viktor wakes up, not feeling pain, not feeling cold (these are things he says to Jayce).
2. Viktor realizes that not only Jayce broke his promise and didnt destroy hexcore but also used it on him
3. Given that reason Viktor worked with Jayce in the first place is to find cure for his disease and now disease is not the factor he loses the main reason to work with him.
4. With main reason to work together gone all that is left is emotions and feelings. Friendship, comaradery, partnership... whatever you wanna call it. But that is already gone in season 1. Jayce talking down on undercity during blockade, weaponizing hextech, and prioritizing his role as council instead of his role as Viktor's partner all played role in losing this bond.
5. With trust and bond lost and promise broken decision to stay and work together is completely gone and only thing left that would potentially keep them together is pure emotions and Viktor since leaving the cocoon (for the lack of better words) feels like he is void of emotions so only emotionless pragmatical and logical solution is to go each other ways.
6. We see that he "sees" things that others cant see and seemingly "Skye" is guiding him somewhere so he is just following wherever she leads him.
I dont see the relevance of weapon blueprints in his decision making post-transformation at all.
very well written!
Reading the comments I'm surprised nobody is talking about it, so I want to give some non-spoiler context regarding the Black Rose.
The Black Rose is a hidden organisation in Noxus, the nation Mel's family is from. They are a group of incredibly powerful mages and noblemen, talking about their ulterior motive could become a spoiler, so I'm skipping this part (we don't know how Arcane will tackle this).
But just know that they are POWERFUL. Their leader, Leblanc, is considered one of, if not the strongest witch in all of runeterra and she is essentially ruling Noxus from the shadows, by manipulating pretty much every political figure in the nation.
Now, this begs the question what on earth did Ambessa's son do to anger the Black Rose to THIS degree. Killing the son, chasing Ambessa beyond the borders of Noxus, infiltrating government positions of another nation, and then kidnapping Ambessa's daughter. Depending on how they wan't to handle this story line, things could become REAL ugly, REAL quick lmao
I believe almost all of the teasers and trailers for S2 were in these three episodes (there is one specific one you should not watch yet if you don't want spoilers to Vi during her #AllTimeLow). You should be free to watch the teasers after what I would presume to be this next 3 episode arc, though the full trailer has scenes from the whole season.
Singed's experiments in novels were straight up nightmare material
They already freaking me out hahah
Love your reactions!
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for being the only reactor i've seen that is asking why Jayce and Mel are completely fine. I was yelling at that when i watched it... I need an answer to how they're literally the only two people to come out of the attack COMPLETELY unscratched, especially when Mel was closest to the blast.
FACTS
I heard theories from LoL players who thought Mel might've been wearing some kind of armor from the game (golden jewelry), but that seems a bit weird to me, in that it wasn't set up or mentioned at all in either Season 1 or 2. As it stands, I can only conclude plot-armor/luck... which is unfortunate for a show this great, but Jayce wasn't going to die no matter what in that scene, he plays too important a role for that - as for Mel; I speculated that she would either die or be badly injured, and that would spur her mother on a path of vengeance - but it seems Ambessa didn't need any further motivation to go down that path.
@@LadyDoomsinger it hasnt been mentioned nor setup but the show does hint toward mel wearing something akin to solari armor, as the gold shined when jinx's missile was about to hit the council which alerted mel, and it shined a second time while jayce was trying to get his bearings back in the first moments of s2 ep1, additionally jayce questioned the exact same thing yall are questioning and it seems like mel isnt aware of it either, so from the looks of it its intentional that theyre hiding info about it in the dark for now
also added to the fact that the gold she wears isnt apart of her dress but rather an undershirt of sorts, as you can see in the shot of her back in the end of s1
@@thirstyboiii That can hardly be called "setup", but I'll wait to draw my conclusions until the end of the season, as always.
The fact we still have 6 episodes left and the 9th episode being longer than the others and I’m left in shambles form act 1… if act 1 is making me this crazy I don’t think it’s gonna get better. I have a very strong love for Vi and Cait and episode 3 just ruined me. I’m really hoping that those two can get back together because I feel like they’re good for each other. I think they’ll get back together because in the trailer we see Vi with Ekko wearing some type of armor? Yeah it looks enforcer like, and those scenes look like Act 3. We also see Caitlyn looking up at something dunno what but she’s wearing a very similar outfit as Vi. Yeah they’ll be teaming up again to say the least, I wanna see them happy though, this show is just amazing and I’ve literally never felt such strong emotions to a ship before it’s ruining me 😭 and I sadly have gotten episode 4 slightly leaked and to say the very least I’m not happy at all. I’m not gonna spoil for anyone else because it’s so annoying to get spoiled by people. I hope these two make it back to each other because I’m not joke gonna be so depressed after the show if they end on a sad note. YES DEPRESSED OVER A SHIP I KNOW
gambling edit went hard ngl
Imagine gambling to stay alive in life or death battle...
IM UNWELL THIS WHOLE SEASON HAS ME STRESSED ALREADY
I'm gonna pass out by the end of it hahah
btw what is the song at start of your intro? you have the song in description from end of the video but i wanna know what is the prologue song (or is it just soundtrack you adding?)
It's "fight back" be NEFEX. I have forgotten to put it in, thank you for reminding me!
@@lachyywhite thanks. its going straight in my playlist next to the ending one :D
50:07 W edit
Hahhaha I'm glad you appreciated it!
Since temu Vander still doesn't have a name I'm calling Peanut Papi. I love his design and that he seems to have some moral fiber. I want more story on him but I don't think he is champion, at least not yet.
HAHAHA I love Peanut Papi 😂
Ambessa is great but the tease of The Black Rose I hope we get to see their leader show up in this season. She's a much cooler character.
I’ve played Scythe!!! I love that game!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!! I love it so much
It was the gray, just colored with dyes my guy
I think Elora is loyal to Mel. Black Rose attacked them both and Elora was trying to warn Mel before they were both taken.
The thing is the city leaders that died in a jinx explosion at the start were to onne that pushed for peace i dont really see a reason to dislike them strongly
They pushed for peace at literally the last possible moment, and Jayce literally had to bully them into it. They've spent their entire careers neglecting and abusing the people of Zaun. That's why I dislike them so strongly. And all of Piltover. Doing the right thing is great... but it doesn't undo all the damage you did up until that point.
Jinx is literally a result of the generational and systemic failures of Piltover's government.
Aooooooooooooo, WW Inc (those who know know.)
Btw: "The Gray" has been explained to just be trapped smog from factories and sht, so, it's hard to breath but not actually toxic as in deadly.
Also, the people who don't know "she will never become an enforcer", while her official champion title is "Vi - The Enforcer", and "Caitlyn - The Sheriff", tho tbf, it could be changed do to Arcane beeing the Canon.
Also, I love Moses-Viktor so much. TBH, based on his ingame design (and also him being very old Champion) I never liked him much (one of my least played mages). But damn, out of all the Champs in Arcane, Jayce was my favorite, until this EP2. Viktor ftw hly sht, he my type. Also Heimer is adorable... considering in the very old version of the game, before the graphic update.. his head looked like a yellow brain. (which is why i also didnt like him much), but they made him so loveable in arcane.
The trio of Jayce, Ekko and Heimerdinger is awsome, best partnership ever. love it!
Also, Blackrose hype.
I wonder if this is the starting point of tv series and movies, that will lead us to a biiiiig cross-game and cross-media event facing Mordekaiser. Could be super epic (like in... 20y or so XD at least maybe the MMO could be part of it by then? hopefully?)
The Gray is not "immediately" deadly - as in you don't choke and drop dead from breathing it. That doesn't mean it doesn't have long-term consequences, such as long-lasting lung-damage, cancer, or just some generic "sickness" like Viktor's, that doesn't really get explained.
And either way, releasing chemical weapons on a civilian population is still pretty damn messed up, even if it's not "technically" lethal. Like, look at how people affected by it gasp for breath; that is literal torture.
As you said, it makes no sense for Vi to stop Cait for the child, she could have just taken the child away. The child was just an excuse. Vi was the first one who could hit Jinx with her gountlets, but in the end she didn't and then she stopped Cait.
Vi knew very well that Cait never missed a shot with her rifle, she would never miss from that distance and Cait knows that Vi knows it. That's why she feels even more betrayed, when Vi tries to justify herself using the child as an excuse, which made Cait feel mocked, as well as betrayed.
at the same time from vi’s perspective her trauma with enforcers and experience with powder probably kicked in at that moment. she knew that kid saw her as the same villain she saw enforcers as when she was a child which is probably why she didn’t want to forcefully drag the little girl away. most logical decision? no. most in character decision for vi? yeah. i’d say it makes sense in the context of her character tbh
Dude, Caitlyn literally just missed her shot - twice.
First shooting off Jinxes finger (I don't care what anyone says, THAT wasn't an intentional shot, because that would be fucking stupid)
Second hitting Vi's shoulder when Vi gets between Caitlyn and Jinx.
Not saying that Vi might not be conflicted about killing Jinx - that might well be the case, she might have had a change of heart in the actual situation. But Caitlyn objectively, factually could have missed again. As for taking the child away, Vi was pretty obviously convinced Caitlyn would fire immediately, grabbing the child and moving her away might not get her out of harms way before the shot was fired - she prioritized stopping Cait instead. Whether that was the right call or not, I think is subjective - but Vi's character has been pretty consistent in not always doing the logical thing, and just acting with her fists when situations get out of hand.
@LadyDoomsinger Caitlyn didn't missed, first one hit Jinx moving hand in a long range shot, hand she was aming. Have you idea of how difficoult it is? That shot wasn't for kill proof once again how good she is. Second shot was incerpted by Vi with gountlet, non with shoulder Vi is not wounded. Caitlyn aimed good, Vi just put is gounglet on the line
You have comfermation bias, dude
Vi was littelay on Jinx and child, grab it away was faster then get up and put her self in the line. Dude, really what are you talking about. She easly grab the child with a gauntled and lift her up, withou even get up and stand over Jinx. Seriously, whatch it again.
@@mlivraghi Explain to me, please, how shooting off Jinx's middle finger is *in any way whatsoever* helpful to anyone. Are you saying Caitlyn is an idiot, because that's literally the only reason she would deliberately aim for Jinx's middle finger, and leave Jinx both alive and with pretty much full function of her injured hand, rather than *literally* any other part of her body:
She could've aimed for the head for an instant kill shot. She could've aimed for her hand or arm to render it useless in the fight. She could've aimed for her legs to sabotage her mobility. She could've aimed for Jinx's *fucking trigger finger* - what possible reason would she have to aim at Jinx's middle finger?
She missed. The confirmation bias is on your side.
@@LadyDoomsinger You have letteraly have sight problem. Confermated by the fat that your not eable to read too. I have wrote "moving hand" in a combat that moving hyper fast. Never wrote "middle finger" even once. Obviously wasn't aiming middle finger, but first you say "she missed" we are talking about 3cm from a 50/60 meters, on a fucking moving hand, is a impossible shot, impossibile and is a WAY harder then hit Jinx head, while she isn't moving, from 10 meters. Repear you have really tonrewatch it with open mind
"this show has so much budget" HAHAHA I think its 1M USD per episode
Much more than that, more like 10 million.
Currently, publicly available information says the budget for season 2 was about $250 million. So about $28m an episode
@@bant3rlad717 I think 250 million was the combined cost for season 1 and two
@@gustavgustav2670 oh damnn
The $250 is the estimate for creation and marketing. But season 1 alone was $100 million. So yes these episodes are roughly 10 million each.
26:27 She's old enough to be an officer, and commit police brutality.
Jinx weapons are not hextech. She used hextech gemstone to power the nuke she fired in season 1 finalle but her other weapons are just junkyard metal scrapped together. Jinx doesnt have gemstones to make hextech weaponry she is just putting scrap together the same way she did when she was kid
EDIT: actually, if anything she is more likely to use shimmer for her weapons instead hextech
The shark canon she used in ep 3 is hextech we can see it get affected when jinx jumps and super speed about to shoot then it exploded making the gemstone fell to the ground
@@jmlxrni i had to rewatch the scene multiple times before i saw what you talking about. And as much i hate when i am wrong i always admit it. Her shark canon has gemstones in the eyes which is why when she powered it with gemstone for the "big bang" it glitched like all the other hextech weapons and exploded. What i dont understand (and is reason for my mistake) is that she uses the same shark canon when all the weapons starts glitching and canon itself works fine, Jinx is not harmed by carrying the shark canon, it wasnt glitching and it fired just fine shooting the missile that exploded properly. then during the scene where she jumps it looks like its the missile that explodes as if missile itself is hextech not the canon but i could be wrong. also regarding the jumping scene imo thats brilliant eye for the details and excellent writing as Jinx was never portrayed as strong and athletic individual so trying to jump in air with such a heavy machinery would be imposible or counter productive. But throwing it in air while your feet are on the ground for leverage and then using your shimmer enchanced speed to jump high enough to grab it and get to its highest point before it is just peak fiction.
And still all the other weapons jinx made including Sevika's new arm are just scraps so they never glitched
@@frankcayseron8637 the normal bullet from her shark cannon is not hextech powered, only the big red missile is using the power of hextech (the bullets are different)thats why its not glitching at first because shes still not using it with hextech. Its based on her abilities in game.
@@jmlxrni i know about the game abilities (1st shot being her alternative Q and the jumping one being her ULT) SO it is the big missile that is hextech only, the normal shark missiles are fine like all the other weapons she uses. Initially my comment and point stands, but i am still thankfull you pointing out the detail i missed. Also i think it is important that gemstone falls down and looks seemingly fine. Maybe Arcane is rejecting hextech which is why gemstones are trying to escape the weapons? Could be cool twist for both first time watchers and the league players as arcane is completley new concept for us too (at least in the form we are seeing in s2 for first time). Maybe arcane thinks it has no need for hextech as something better came up (alluding to whats happening to Viktor)
Havent watched the reaction yet but i saw some chicken crimpy's

I have too much love and not enough people to share it with 😊 cheers 🤘🏼
I appreciate your kind words legend! I love having all these great people to talk with it about in the comments
THIS 6:36
thank you, people dont realize that vi is the one who doesnt want or cant kill jinx, she shouldnt have gone with cait if that is what gonna happened, cait was right this time
Cait wasn't right she was going to kill a child, but was fine with kiling jinx as she gives cait the shot, yes she hesitated when she had the chance but it was a second, she was going to finish the job and them isha shows up, leading to cait almost shoting a inocent kid
@ she said she was not gonna miss and i believe her.
Cait was absolutely right, vi couldn’t kill jinx, and apart from that, she stopped her too.
The child was an excuse, every physical language from vi says that she wouldn’t kill jinx even if she has the chance. So yeah, cait has the right to be mad, because she asked vi a lot of times if she was alright with what they were gonna do and vi says that she was ready when obviously she was not
@@tanianeira9532 she was gonna miss, don't Trust the person that is BREAKING APART from trauma and grief, vi was literally going to finish Jinx after a Second of hesitation when isha got in the Way, and vi Also let cait get her shot in the start of the fight she looked away, either she was going to finish Jinx, or get her in prison anyway Without killing her, we have no reason to Trust caitlyn but have reasons to distrust her judgement.
"Why is Heimerdinger acting like an idiot, I don't like it" yeah his entire character is beyond annoying to me LOL every time he shows up it makes me sigh. The only time he was good was when he got mad over the hexcore because he finally showed some kind of competence/care for people. Writing long lived species having the emotional intelligence/object permanenance of a child is something I highly dislike and they're doing it in spades with him.
He alongside Vi (shockingly) are the show's worst written characters imo
I don't like Salo's dialogue after the crash, so out of touch and entitled way of thinking "how many more councilors have to be blown to piece before u wake up?" well, how many more undercity people, kids even have to die before the councilor decides to act to help them or stop dehumanizing them? that if they mattered to them at all. I just find it infuriating that now that it happened to them they want war but when the undercity people are retaliating against the uppercity's abuse they're evil, animals and subhumans. crazy. had to get this off my chest lmfao
Viktor is STEALING this season.
