When Jinx says "Are you real?" really hits me.. perfection in terms of character development, so fitting and so real that she would say something like that considering all the flashbacks and ptsd moments she lived through
@@crankfastle8138 Wow... You just blew my mind with that observation. I had to Google Jinx's tatts. That is next level planning by the character designers that long ago.
@@CarlieAndAnge yup. A confused punisher. Just found your channel. Love your guys chemistry together and reactions. Gonna catch up with your witcher season 2 uploads a bit later. Keep up the good work.
i love how they show too-cool and too-smooth silco losing it. i think it reflects or at least hints at his genuine fear of vi taking jinx away from him. he didn’t send the goons, he’s down on the streets himself.
Btw, another fun fact about this episode (not sure if it already has been posted): Jinx obviously thought that Vi was dead, which is why she probably never lit the actual flare (as she is lighting the flare once she learns that Vi might still be alive). However, she was permanently calling out to her sister - by tattooing blue smoke on her arm. Makes the scene even more sad/impactful - and goes to show that no detail, however minor, is wasted!
"No you can't end it there!" a summary of every episode LMAO Good catch on Jinx making mechanical butterflies. A lot of reactors miss that. Makes you think of how much Powder would have thrived if her trauma didn't break her mind and her genius was nourished properly.
Yeah, except jinx didn’t make the mechanical butter flies, she stole a bunch of them when she stole the gem. On episode four before they go to Jayce they show the a guy with mechanical butters. She did make them into bombs though. And I’m pretty such she copied and made a bunch more of the firelights.
Even if you guys are late to the Arcane reaction party, the quality of your reaction is top class. Not pause and give an essay, not complete silence during the show, you do short comments every now and then, which I prefer the most. Great job, cant wait for the next episode.
Silco: *literally threatening to abduct/kill Marcus‘ kid* Carlie: „He‘s so good with kids 😍“ (I didn‘t edit because I had their names mixed up - I repeat, thats NOT why)
I guess that is what is called cognitive dissonance? Many Jinx and Silco fans suffer from it from what i can tell. There might be no way around it, if people are so willing to cheer on sociopathic Character types.
@@tryoncemore8570 Eh, don‘t think its that deep. Also think its always important to see the human behind all of it, especially if you know the backstory. Doesn‘t mean that it excuses the crimes or absolves from consequences, but understanding these factors also means we can try to avoid them alltogether. I‘ve come to believe that sympathy is better used too often than too rarely
Carlie is actually so observant. Shes caught every subtle foreshadowing. Like with Butterfly bombs and something else in the previous episodes i cant remember! Well done, it took me a second watches to catch some tbh
Its hard to imagine, but somehow, the next 3 episodes keep getting better. This show is amazing, just unfortunate how long we'll probably have to wait for season 2.
@@CarlieAndAnge definitely not 6 years. Probably late 2023/early 2024. They already worked on season 2 before season 1 even came out. They also have all the models, voice actors etc now.
@@CarlieAndAnge it didnt take 6 years to make, they started 6 years ago. The first episode was made 6 years ago as a proof of concept, after that there was a lot of work that had to be done to get the show greenlit, getting the right people to work on it, etc. Realistically it took 2/3 years. My prediction for season 2 is late 2023
Considering the unprecedented worldwide success of Season 1, I’m wagering (hoping) that Season 2 will be such a priority for Netflix and Riot that we’ll see it in 2023. That said, the bigger question in my mind is, Will Arcane Season 2 be able to meet or exceed the standard of storytelling it established with Season 1? Personally speaking, I’d rather wait six years for a quality second season than have the integrity of this amazing show diminished by a poorly executed cash-grab. (Remember Game of Thrones, S8? /smh)
@@CarlieAndAnge some clips from trailer are not shown and if you hear the season teaser they have a conversation between vi and cait.. so maybe and I hope that on those 6 years season 2 are included on the preparation so we dont have to wait for eternity..
The duality in this episode is so entertaining. The show writers would be proud 😁 Got to admit, he's good with kids. "Accidents happen." Unnecessary...that's so MEAN. Oh no, it's actually sad....it's what I wanted. It's a rat. It's not a rat! IT'S A RAT. This is better than I could have imagined. *single breath* Oh no. OH NOOOO. Real talk though: the cinematography this episode around the moments with Jinx with her ghosts is enthralling and terrifying.
I'm so happy that I found you two recently. I have absolutely loved every reaction of yours I've watched so far. You both have such genuinely great commentary, attention to detail, theories, and inviting personalities in general. I'm happy to be here!
Obsessed with your Arcane videos! You both have so much compassion for all of the characters and it's awesome to see you so emotionally invested. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more
I feel stupid but I never realised that just after Vi says she's gonna topple Silco's Empire all around him she makes the symbol of his empire, the eye, fall all around him (sadly she is even right about the "around" so he survives xD).
I have a feeling that was translation error. Because Jinx said she knew how she would 'deliver' the message before stringing Sevika up. And then she left the up arrow on Silco's desk pointing to the 'message'. She was delivering a message to Silco, who from Jinx's perspective had been lying about Vi being dead.
I don't know if it's intentional, but one of the reasons Silco kind of loses it with everyone is because of he hit rock bottom. He is literally (and figuratively) at the lowest point of the under city while also being at the lowest point of his life as the new Silco: - He can't handle Jinx. - He is losing his grip on Marcus. - Vi is alive and back. - Caitlyn & Vi defeated him and his goons with ease (and Sevika). - The Firelights destroyed a huge shipment. - Piltover is getting further away with the Hexgates. I think the fact that they portrayed that scene and geographically showed him to be at the lowest point is just so brilliant. Another beautiful metaphor in this episode is when Jayce talks to Mel, the conversation ends with them being alone with Mel's painting as the background of the shot. That simulated that Jayce sees the world the way Mel painted it for him (which will serve as a great character moment later). It's just, way too good. There Viktor and the boat and a few more minor ones. If you analyze this show I think you can find a couple hundred metaphors hidden in subtext, character animation and shot composition. Nothing has business being this much of a masterclass of storytelling. I really enjoyed your videos on Arcane so far. You have great personalities. I don't know if you enjoyed Black Widow or not, but I highly recommend regardless that you guys watch a video by MauLer about the movie, to get some context into why this is one of the worst movies Marvel has ever produced (I find it fascinating). It's over 4 hours long and it's extremely detailed and referenced. I don't want your reaction on it, just think you should watch it to see an very different perspective on media analysis. None of what is said in his video invalidates how you felt about the movie on your initial viewing. Nobody can see it the way he analyzes it, including himself on just a watch through. I just think it's good to have a perspective on what is absolutely (sometimes blindingly) terrible, to appreciate media like Arcane that much more. Love your videos on Arcane. I probably won't stick around to watch your other stuff because I don't care about most media you cover, but I'll look every now and again at your catalog to see if there is something I care about because you guys are genuinely great. I would love to grab a drink with you if that were ever possible. You seem like too much fun 😊 Keep at it!
First off, thanks for all those insights! As for Black Widow, we actually watched it and uploaded on the channel. We actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Mainly because of the introduction of Yelena. She’s great. But we’ll have to check out that video you suggested. Sounds interesting. As for Arcane, when we finish the series, we’re definitely going to react to some other Arcane related media. We’re in to deep now. We’d love to have a drink with you too! Thanks for the lovely comment ❤️
I’m sooo glad you guys are enjoying it, arcane is basically my favourite thing ever now and before I watched it I had no great expectation of it whatsoever. You guys are really fun and have such a good vibe, have fun watching the rest!!
Hi there. I'm new to your channel (arcane of course). I watched lots of reactions to arcane already (its keeping the show alive for me somehow). I must say that of all the non-LOL-lore-familiar-reactions I enjoyed yours by far the most. Its so nice to see how you got sucked in by this show. I really never would have thought that an animated show would be able to produce so many emotions. For me it is clear that we are witnessing a leap forward in cinematography here. Hopefully there will be much more to come. As to your reactions: they are by far more "natural" then most of the others. I really love that. I think I'll stay at this channel for a while. If you are interested in diving deeper in the lore of LOL I would highly recommend the "lore guardians" TENEBRIX, NECRIT and TBSKYEN. They are brilliant (each in a different way) and will be able to give you a glimpse of what LOL could have in store (yes, you should be afraid MCU) . In arcane you get to know less than 10 champions while LOL as almost 160 of them. A lot of them with great lore. I also recommend you react to the LOL cinematics as well. You'll get to know new champs and your channel will also grow. Promise! 😉
Awww thanks so much for this comment! ❤️ means a lot to us. Yes definitely, we’re planning to react to a lot of League of legends related content after we finish up with Arcane so stay tuned for that!
@@CarlieAndAnge Yes, I will (stay) ! At least until the cosplay! 😉 Forgot to mention how adorable you two are together. ♥️♥️ As for the rat: when you are done with arcane you would be very happy with the rat being the worst thing Singed (the scientist/doctor) had created...
@@CarlieAndAnge As a league fan for more than a decade, I would be happy to suggest you guys cinematics and music videos or videos that just goes over Easter eggs and details of arcane ^^
My man can totally pull off Jayce!! Also, new here but I've been really enjoying your reactions!! Truly! I've seen a lot of reactions but you two are just great!
Love how much you guys appreciate even the little things on-screen, and are quite funny too :D Gonna go far with this channel for sure, wish you the best!
This episode at first I thought was good but as i've let it sit more and more I've come to really REALLY love it. The visuals, music, story beats and more is just amazing. Milo and Claggar behind jinx is an image that still pops into my head with the music and moves me. I can't wait for you two to enjoy the rest of the episodes and while this season had taken 6 years I watched a podcast with the lead animation director who let some cool information "slip". The pilot sat for around 3 years, so they didn't actually begin animating the show until 3 years ago. It was actually supposed to come out in 2020 but with covid happening riot wanted to postpone until after covid to make it more of an event all around. Season 2 was greenlit almost a year ago and has been in production for 9ish months by this point. He believes the animation should be done by 2023 but also states that Fortiche and Riot are going to be and are working on projects together for the foreseeable future, some of which are not arcane but in that same cinematic world.
I absolutely love your reactions to this series and can't wait for the next episodes. also the scene with jinx at the end the reason that she looked confused is so fitting with her mental heath so far she's been seeing vi every now and then not knowing when it's real or fake so when she finally saw her and then she vanished with the firelight she was left confused as to if she actually saw her sister this time or another hallucination.
both y'all are wildin' out with your predictions and hunches, you guys' analysis and brainstorming is one of my favorite bits each episode.. first and foremost, we have Carlie with her adorably suspicious nature, while she doesn't unjustly jump to conclusions and dismiss characters outright, everyone still has to prove their intent and earn their trust in her eyes.. Carlie trusts her gut and rationality, as it rarely lets her down, keeping her head in spite of a vivid imagination that leans well into the dark side.. this is Carlie's world, we just live in it, and *No* _Rats_ *Allowed* ! .. on the other hand, last but certainly not least, we have Angelo and his inner eagle eye, piercing through the B.S.. he's absurdly perceptive with a penchant for parsing out patterns with near perfect precision.. (holy alliteration batman).. in all things abstract and tangible, no detail escapes him.. .. he links deeper meanings and foreshadowing with ease .. calling upon his wellspring of knowledge, overflowing with symbols and universal truths, Ange looks to the past to inform his predictions for the future, knowing all too well, "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.." .. lol, that was fun.. this channel is really fun.. you two are #goals .. keep killing it y'all.. ✌️
God, you're such wholesome people. You always pay so much attention and you're enjoying the show and the characters and you're so cute and real about it. Again, you're truly a joy to watch.
The girl that saw Viktor during the toy boat scene was Sky! Sky is Miss Young who will continue to be important in interactions with Viktor moving forward!
and the journey of them trying to guess what happened to the rat in episode 1 continues LOL. Trust me, having to wait 1 week when it first air after act 2 cliff hanger was torture, They teased us with the sisterly love and ripped it away from us 🤧
Super late to this vid, but extremely esoteric bit of lore if you (or anyone else reading this comment) didn't know this yet: The guy you were arguing whether or not was a rat was actually a chirean, a race of batlike humanoids from Zaun. All of the extremely limited information on them comes from the card game Legends of Runeterra.
The montage on Woodkid's song is phenomenal, indeed. ^^; I've watched a lot of animated series through the years, I don't know shit about LoL, and Arcane is one of the best I've ever seen. My astonishment seems to have no end right now. Oh, and it's not a rat.
I'm jealous that you two, as a couple, enjoy these things together. I really enjoyed all of your reaction videos. This show is my favorite and now that I'm done with it, I am hooked on seeing other people gush over it.
@@CarlieAndAnge if you take a quick look back at episode 4 in the opening Progress Day scene with Caitlyn's mom, you can see her talking to some vastaya.
You definitely were right though! The doctor young Viktor met, and current day Viktor reunited with, was the Doctor making shimmer in silco's base when it all blew up and thats why he's wrapped partially in bandages! (you might have figured that out by the time im posting this im still watching your vids!)
haven’t really commented the last couple episodes but i’m still here and loving your guys’s reactions! the rat debate at the end was hilarious lol sidenote, you guys should definitely get a mod at least for certain shows. some of these commenters have absolutely no self control smh.
Great to hear from you again Chance! Looks like you were SO SO right about how attractive these characters are lol… We might look into the mod situation. We havent really picked up on any ground breaking spoilers yet. Just speculation. So our viewing experience hasnt been tarnished at all. When that happens, its probably the right time for a mod haha. Thanks again for your support ❤️
Carlie you made a good spot it does seem like th firelights are good guys, in episode 4 they were trying to burn silco's shimmer barrel's and silco said they've been a thorn in his side. What are their goals 🤔
ive rewatched this from your reaction now since i was addicted to it (watched your reaction 4x and also demon slayer twice). in the meantime i also watched a therapist youtuber with the name i think Georgia Dow... she said when silco went to Marcus house his purpose was to pay back Marcus. In the fifth episode Marcus said to Silco: '' Arresting her (Jinx) would do you a favor'' obviously insulting Jinx right there even tho Marcus did not know about their relationship (father daughter) and as payback Silco visited Marcus threatening him with his daughter to make it something equal painful. Silco is a very smart man and i think none of his actions are made out of nowhere and always have a connection even tho it might just looks like him acting rough on harsh ways. that riot thouught all the way about this is so incredible and shows the sripters divine work just more. that Georgia is a very big recommandation. She sees things we cant see where i was like woah... how are you able to connect things so perfectly.
i miss this. your excitement to talk about a show both of you are invested in and love makes the "discussion" section of the reactions so seamless and more enjoyable to watch rather than how its handled now. I understand things cannot always be as they were, but there is a big difference from here and current. you two are enthusiastically and organically talking only to each other about the show and completely ignoring the audience and camera. no hate at all, and you two are definitely good people. just wanted to write an opinion.
Love to watch your reactions to this show. Arcane was the best thing I watched the whole year. Thks guys! I would love to to see you guys watching Old Boy (theoriginal korean one)... try to avoid spoillers at any cost for this one, thou. ;)
I dunno how anyone thought that Vi & Powder/Jinx would work out alright. Vi is the least removed from when they were children due to being imprisoned from a young age. Jinx is the most removed from when they were kids. There's really no going back to what they were before they were separated too many years have passed... its nigh of a decade since Vi & Jinx were family. The identity of the Firelights is easy to work out... all I'll say is its all in the mask, it's not the 1st time you'll have seen it in Arcane. To get the Firelights leaders Identity all you have to do is remember where you last saw it.
You notice btw, Jinx got the blue smoke flare from VI as a child... And she has blue smoke clouds tattooed all over her right arm... She sort of always wanted VI to come get her.... I left a big loredump in your latest video btw :P
You guys are so dope....The post episode discussion had me near death lmao Carlie: "It's a rat Angelo...." Ange: "Nooo, I'd know if it was a rat" Me: **DEAD** 😂 😂
You guys mentioned Jinx taking on that boxing machine at the arcade & falling short of beating Vi's best score - nobody else (after watching soo many reaction podcasts) have ever said that Jinx came in second place THE FIRST TIME she's ever played that thing, compared to however many times Vi has played it over how long (time-wise)? - Jinx actually DIDN'T fail her first time out (even if SHE felt she did)
actually, could be wrong, but I actually think he's a chirean, a race of batlike humanoids. They show up on a couple cards in Legends of Runeterra (they might be a subrace of vastaya but I think they're their own thing)
I'm usually not big on reaction videos, but your Arcane ones are pretty good. And considering my friends are tired of hearing me tell them to watch Arcane, I'm gonna watch it with you! When's ep7? I can't wait
Sorry for the out of focus image from 18:25 - 19:26. We got a bit carried away and started moving too much lol. Feel free to skip past!
@@jackspratt7264 yikes dude. Let them theorize about whats going on, it's fun to see what they get right and wrong.
No need to insult anyone.

Someone yelled "Sky" at the young girl who was looking at young Viktor. Sky is Jayce and Viktor's assistant now. 👍
Ohhhhhh! Cant believe we didnt pick that up.
The scene with Jinx lighting the flare is just breathtaking no matter how many times you watch it. The visuals with the music is more than perfect🙌🏻
So good….
@@CarlieAndAnge It also highlights jinx's tattoos also being blue smoke. As if she is always calling out for Vi.

So true. Every little detail makes this show really shine.
When Jinx said “Are you real?” I burst into tears. That poor, traumatized baby, stuck in a haze of shock and disbelief for years.
So tragic 😔
"No you can't end it there!" a summary of every episode LMAO
Good catch on Jinx making mechanical butterflies. A lot of reactors miss that. Makes you think of how much Powder would have thrived if her trauma didn't break her mind and her genius was nourished properly.
Ahh yes good point! She could’ve definitely thrived.
all the pretty, pretty butterflies.....

@@rinzzler366 Ah yep, good idea :)

Ahh thats a cool little detail. We’re keen to find out more!
I don't know if it's intentional, but one of the reasons Silco kind of loses it with everyone is because of he hit rock bottom. He is literally (and figuratively) at the lowest point of the under city while also being at the lowest point of his life as the new Silco:
- He can't handle Jinx.
- He is losing his grip on Marcus.
- Vi is alive and back.
- Caitlyn & Vi defeated him and his goons with ease (and Sevika).

Thanks so much! This show is better than we imagined! Thanks again for the comment ❤️
19:22 LOL! I love this inside joke of Ange and the rat XD
Cant believe its come full circle haha!
I can't wait for the next episodes! Your reaction videos on arcane are the best I have seen by far. You guys are doing an amazing job, thank you.
Awww thanks so much! We love this show! ❤️
Hi there. I'm new to your channel (arcane of course). I watched lots of reactions to arcane already (its keeping the show alive for me somehow). I must say that of all the non-LOL-lore-familiar-reactions I enjoyed yours by far the most. Its so nice to see how you got sucked in by this show. I really never would have thought that an animated show would be able to produce so many emotions. For me it is clear that we are witnessing a leap forward in cinematography here. Hopefully there will be much more to come.
As to your reactions: they are by far more "natural" then most of the others. I really love that. I think I'll stay at this channel for a while.
If you are interested in diving deeper in the lore of LOL I would highly recommend the "lore guardians" TENEBRIX, NECRIT and TBSKYEN. They are brilliant (each in a different way) and will be able to give you a glimpse of what LOL could have in store (yes, you should be afraid MCU) . In arcane you get to know less than 10 champions while LOL as almost 160 of them. A lot of them with great lore.
I also recommend you react to the LOL cinematics as well. You'll get to know new champs and your channel will also grow. Promise! 😉
Awww thanks so much for this comment! ❤️ means a lot to us.
Yes definitely, we’re planning to react to a lot of League of legends related content after we finish up with Arcane so stay tuned for that!
@@CarlieAndAnge Yes, I will (stay) ! At least until the cosplay! 😉 Forgot to mention how adorable you two are together. ♥️♥️ As for the rat: when you are done with arcane you would be very happy with the rat being the worst thing Singed (the scientist/doctor) had created...
@@masterofpuppets7586 😩
@@CarlieAndAnge As a league fan for more than a decade, I would be happy to suggest you guys cinematics and music videos or videos that just goes over Easter eggs and details of arcane ^^
@@erenbaran8184 10000000%, yes we’ll definitely be reacting to all that good stuff!
Wasn't expecting this episode yet, can't wait for ep 7 my favorite with episode 9, 3 and 8
Cant wait to watch ep 7!
same! in that order...
I also include 4 with those, Jinx's introduction is spectacular... "Happy Progress Day! *fireworks*".
My man can totally pull off Jayce!! Also, new here but I've been really enjoying your reactions!! Truly! I've seen a lot of reactions but you two are just great!
Aww thanks so much! We really appreciate that ❤️ glad youre enjoying the videos ☺️
Love how much you guys appreciate even the little things on-screen, and are quite funny too :D Gonna go far with this channel for sure, wish you the best!
Awww thats so nice! Means a lot. Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
This episode at first I thought was good but as i've let it sit more and more I've come to really REALLY love it. The visuals, music, story beats and more is just amazing. Milo and Claggar behind jinx is an image that still pops into my head with the music and moves me.
I can't wait for you two to enjoy the rest of the episodes and while this season had taken 6 years I watched a podcast with the lead animation director who let some cool information "slip". The pilot sat for around 3 years, so they didn't actually begin animating the show until 3 years ago. It was actually supposed to come out in 2020 but with covid happening riot wanted to postpone until after covid to make it more of an event all around. Season 2 was greenlit almost a year ago and has been in production for 9ish months by this point. He believes the animation should be done by 2023 but also states that Fortiche and Riot are going to be and are working on projects together for the foreseeable future, some of which are not arcane but in that same cinematic world.
Hopefully it comes out soon! 2023 would be fantastic 🤞🏻thanks for the nice comment ❤️
Oh shit thats sick! Can you drop the podcast?
@@vanderlark ua-cam.com/video/4nTtManGqbw/v-deo.html I believe it's this one.
@@lockekappa500 yes thats the one! I was so amazed the full way through, such a good conversation about art and animation
I absolutely love your reactions to this series and can't wait for the next episodes. also the scene with jinx at the end the reason that she looked confused is so fitting with her mental heath so far she's been seeing vi every now and then not knowing when it's real or fake so when she finally saw her and then she vanished with the firelight she was left confused as to if she actually saw her sister this time or another hallucination.
Yes! This is phenomenal writing. So good. Didnt pick up on it at the time coz we were so flustered lol
You're reactions to this is are always so PERFECT, you make my cry again and again as when I first watched it. Please we need more :')
More on the way! Thanks so much ❤️
"Oh you can't end it there!" yup. And some of us had to wait for a week to get the next 3 episodes. 😂🤣😌😭
Ohhhhh gosh that sucks! Glad we dont have to 😂
@@CarlieAndAnge 😂😂
lmao I love your intro 😂nice reaction!!!! looking forward for the next episodes!
Haha glad you enjoyed it! Coming soon ❤️
both y'all are wildin' out with your predictions and hunches, you guys' analysis and brainstorming is one of my favorite bits each episode.. first and foremost, we have Carlie with her adorably suspicious nature, while she doesn't unjustly jump to conclusions and dismiss characters outright, everyone still has to prove their intent and earn their trust in her eyes.. Carlie trusts her gut and rationality, as it rarely lets her down, keeping her head in spite of a vivid imagination that leans well into the dark side.. this is Carlie's world, we just live in it, and *No* _Rats_ *Allowed* ! .. on the other hand, last but certainly not least, we have Angelo and his inner eagle eye, piercing through the B.S.. he's absurdly perceptive with a penchant for parsing out patterns with near perfect precision.. (holy alliteration batman).. in all things abstract and tangible, no detail escapes him.. .. he links deeper meanings and foreshadowing with ease .. calling upon his wellspring of knowledge, overflowing with symbols and universal truths, Ange looks to the past to inform his predictions for the future, knowing all too well, "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.." ..
lol, that was fun.. this channel is really fun.. you two are #goals .. keep killing it y'all.. ✌️
Hahaha this is great!!! 😅 thanks for making us laugh 😆 and for the compliments
God, you're such wholesome people. You always pay so much attention and you're enjoying the show and the characters and you're so cute and real about it. Again, you're truly a joy to watch.
Wow thank you! Thats so nice of you 😊❤️
LMAO IT'S A RATTTTTT, that had me dead asf!!! I can't believe y'all still on about the rat XD that was so funny
"Why did they have to tease us with the hug, and then this"
Because the Arcane writers FEAST ON OUR SUFFERING! 😢😢😭
😭
OMG this show is amaizing! i love ur reacts guys. I cant w8 for the next episode
We cant wait to watch it! Thank you ❤️
rewatching your reaction on Arcane. Safe to say, That poor Rat had been mentioned so many times, it needs its own spin off lol.
Hahaha yeah the rat debate was a very big deal!
6:57 Cause she is Harley. This is how Harley Quinn should be portrait.
I was waiting wor this :')
Hope you enjoy it! ❤️
Lol. Love when the credits roll and you both throw your arms in the air. "You can't end it there!" :P
Ughhhh 😩
"you thought the doctor was the zombie man downstairs" is my favorite quote from this reaction lmao
The girl that saw Viktor during the toy boat scene was Sky! Sky is Miss Young who will continue to be important in interactions with Viktor moving forward!
Ahh yes we’ve had a lot of comments about Sky
20:28 This guy's all right. I like where your heart is boyo. Thanks for being a great couple - and for sharing your content! Happy New Year.
Thanks so much Sam! Happy new year to you too ❤️
Good catch about the guy with the glasses 👓! I totally missed that 1st time watching
def the best reaction to this show on youtube. And I watch a lot of these for this show lmao
Thats so nice! Thanks so much ❤️ we’ll have episode 8 up soon ☺️
@@CarlieAndAnge You guys have great chemistry too. I'd love to see ur other stuff now just cuz of that.
and the journey of them trying to guess what happened to the rat in episode 1 continues LOL.
Trust me, having to wait 1 week when it first air after act 2 cliff hanger was torture, They teased us with the sisterly love and ripped it away from us 🤧
Oh man we couldnt imagine waiting so long to watch the episodes!
THE RAT WAS ALREADY A RAT!!! 😁
Super late to this vid, but extremely esoteric bit of lore if you (or anyone else reading this comment) didn't know this yet: The guy you were arguing whether or not was a rat was actually a chirean, a race of batlike humanoids from Zaun. All of the extremely limited information on them comes from the card game Legends of Runeterra.
The montage on Woodkid's song is phenomenal, indeed. ^^;
I've watched a lot of animated series through the years, I don't know shit about LoL, and Arcane is one of the best I've ever seen. My astonishment seems to have no end right now.
Oh, and it's not a rat.
i completely understand ange in the beginning though
I'm jealous that you two, as a couple, enjoy these things together. I really enjoyed all of your reaction videos. This show is my favorite and now that I'm done with it, I am hooked on seeing other people gush over it.
Haha aww thank you! This show was just so easy to watch. One of the best if not the BEST we’ve seen
those tears, so sweet 💓
The "rat" (actually closer to a bat) person you two talk about at the end is a vastaya. They're a race with elements of animals and humans
Ahhh okay sweet! Thanks for clarifying
@@CarlieAndAnge if you take a quick look back at episode 4 in the opening Progress Day scene with Caitlyn's mom, you can see her talking to some vastaya.
You definitely were right though! The doctor young Viktor met, and current day Viktor reunited with, was the Doctor making shimmer in silco's base when it all blew up and thats why he's wrapped partially in bandages! (you might have figured that out by the time im posting this im still watching your vids!)
Ange with the one dripping teardrop like the movies at @17:00. Awesome reaction
Thanks so much Ken. It was Carlie* by the way with the tear drop. You’re not likely to see a tear drop from Ange 🤣🤣
@@CarlieAndAnge Oh! My bad
@@ken-supports all good! Youre not the first ❤️
LMFAOOOO “and then jayce kills hiemerdinger” IM DEADDDD
😂
haven’t really commented the last couple episodes but i’m still here and loving your guys’s reactions! the rat debate at the end was hilarious lol
sidenote, you guys should definitely get a mod at least for certain shows. some of these commenters have absolutely no self control smh.
Great to hear from you again Chance! Looks like you were SO SO right about how attractive these characters are lol…
We might look into the mod situation. We havent really picked up on any ground breaking spoilers yet. Just speculation. So our viewing experience hasnt been tarnished at all. When that happens, its probably the right time for a mod haha. Thanks again for your support ❤️
up next my favorite Episode...12/10
Ahhhh man cant wait!
Can not wait for you two to watch the next three episodes!
Same! Cant wait 😩
2:20 did you notice that Victor can’t keep up with his inventions…
Ooooo interesting point. Bit of foreshadowing it seems
Carlie you made a good spot it does seem like th firelights are good guys, in episode 4 they were trying to burn silco's shimmer barrel's and silco said they've been a thorn in his side. What are their goals 🤔
Hmm yes very intrigued by their involvement!
ive rewatched this from your reaction now since i was addicted to it (watched your reaction 4x and also demon slayer twice). in the meantime i also watched a therapist youtuber with the name i think Georgia Dow... she said when silco went to Marcus house his purpose was to pay back Marcus. In the fifth episode Marcus said to Silco: '' Arresting her (Jinx) would do you a favor'' obviously insulting Jinx right there even tho Marcus did not know about their relationship (father daughter) and as payback Silco visited Marcus threatening him with his daughter to make it something equal painful. Silco is a very smart man and i think none of his actions are made out of nowhere and always have a connection even tho it might just looks like him acting rough on harsh ways. that riot thouught all the way about this is so incredible and shows the sripters divine work just more. that Georgia is a very big recommandation. She sees things we cant see where i was like woah... how are you able to connect things so perfectly.
act 2 was a nice set up, but now its just getting better and better. im hyped for the final act!
Same here! Filming them soon :)
“it’s a RAT angelo…!” 😂😩
ange has to cosplay vander… or the purple rat…
🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction again. W8ing for next One
Thanks so much ❤️
i miss this. your excitement to talk about a show both of you are invested in and love makes the "discussion" section of the reactions so seamless and more enjoyable to watch rather than how its handled now. I understand things cannot always be as they were, but there is a big difference from here and current.
you two are enthusiastically and organically talking only to each other about the show and completely ignoring the audience and camera. no hate at all, and you two are definitely good people. just wanted to write an opinion.
Silco and Cait cosplays defo do it!
Hmm we’ll get started!
she can call me cupcake any day of the week LOL hahahahaha
Kiss your perfect day goodbye
🤣yep!
It’s ok! I have crush on Vi too🤣
😅 she’s AMAZING
Love to watch your reactions to this show. Arcane was the best thing I watched the whole year. Thks guys!
I would love to to see you guys watching Old Boy (theoriginal korean one)... try to avoid spoillers at any cost for this one, thou. ;)
Aww thanks so much! We’ll note that one down. Thanks for the suggestion ❤️
holy crap just noticed you can see vi's face on the knife, when sevika says "its your sister"
Oh dang….
"She's my number 2. She can call me cupcake any day of the week." 😭😭😭😭
😅
I dunno how anyone thought that Vi & Powder/Jinx would work out alright. Vi is the least removed from when they were children due to being imprisoned from a young age. Jinx is the most removed from when they were kids. There's really no going back to what they were before they were separated too many years have passed... its nigh of a decade since Vi & Jinx were family.
The identity of the Firelights is easy to work out... all I'll say is its all in the mask, it's not the 1st time you'll have seen it in Arcane. To get the Firelights leaders Identity all you have to do is remember where you last saw it.
Hmmmm interesting. We might need to do some homework!
You notice btw, Jinx got the blue smoke flare from VI as a child... And she has blue smoke clouds tattooed all over her right arm... She sort of always wanted VI to come get her....
I left a big loredump in your latest video btw :P
Yeah we saw it! Thanks so much for your help 😊
You guys are so dope....The post episode discussion had me near death lmao
Carlie: "It's a rat Angelo...."
Ange: "Nooo, I'd know if it was a rat"
Me: **DEAD** 😂 😂
🤣🤣 that rat is causing too much controversy! Thanks for the comment Matt! ❤️
For real...Thank YOU! That reaction made my day. You guys keep it 💯 authentic. That's why I subscribed and became a patron (illmatic_mg 😉)
@@illmatic_mg thanks for supporting us on Patreon! Ep 7 is already up there if you wanted to check it out too. Thanks Matt ❤️
jinx being haunted by the ghosts, but also Silco as well, he beat up the minions but in his minid he was attacking the kids holding Jinx back
EP 1: "The rat was already a RAT!"
...
EP 6 "It's a rat, Angelo!"
😂 there have been even more developments with the rat in Ep 7! Stay tuned 🤣🤣
@@CarlieAndAnge Yes, I am looking forward! Love the reactions 😊
New to the channel but I'm already a fan of you guys. ❤
Aww thats so nice! Glad to have you here ❤️
I'm supposedly an adult male but this show has me on the edge of tears everytime I watch it.
Its soooo good!
@@CarlieAndAnge it's amazing
18:27 That scene goes so hard it knocked your camera out of focus.
You guys mentioned Jinx taking on that boxing machine at the arcade & falling short of beating Vi's best score - nobody else (after watching soo many reaction podcasts) have ever said that Jinx came in second place THE FIRST TIME she's ever played that thing, compared to however many times Vi has played it over how long (time-wise)?
- Jinx actually DIDN'T fail her first time out (even if SHE felt she did)
Ahhh yes very true! Thats gotta be one of our favourite scenes of the show. Soo good!
Dayum.
DID you guys do the cosplay???
Edit: "oh..that butterfly...wasn't Jinx making those?" Woah... nice
19:52 I mean there is a talking rat champion in league of legends from Zaun. His name Twitch.
It's not a rat. It's a bat :D
😭
For a little bit of extra impact, Jinx's minigun is named PowPow in game.
😭😭😭
The RAT guy is from a type of race in the League world called Vastaya, mystical beings that are half human half animal.
actually, could be wrong, but I actually think he's a chirean, a race of batlike humanoids. They show up on a couple cards in Legends of Runeterra (they might be a subrace of vastaya but I think they're their own thing)
really can't wait to see your reaction to Ep 7 and 9 (8 is very good as well, the whole of Act 3 is bonkers)
We cant wait!
That WAS the doctor that worked with silco
Hmm yes, i wonder why they split 🤔
The funny part about the rat thing is that there are actually theories around him in the lol comunity
Oh goshhhh 😭
I'm usually not big on reaction videos, but your Arcane ones are pretty good. And considering my friends are tired of hearing me tell them to watch Arcane, I'm gonna watch it with you! When's ep7? I can't wait
Thanks so much Aaron! ❤️should be up in around a day or so 😄
