I never thought that I will feel such devastated and emotionally vulnerable after watching a show, that too animated. What a masterpiece Arcane is. Jinx has such a tragic story. She was always a victim of other's actions but still went onto the road of redemption in the end. All she ever needed was love but whosoever she got close to, died. I still don't have much words to right about Arcane or Jinx as I'm still trying to recover from the finale and as most of us know by now, she is alive and escaped right at the end through the air duct :) I hope you will love and enjoy my video on Powder/Jinx.

first of all, i'd like to say that i am on very, i mean, VEERY similar grounds with you on about what the s2 made me feel. 2nd, i love your video, great cut! thanks for your work! :) i mean like, in the s2e7 the dance scene makes my heart squeeze... almost every time makes me cry...
it breaks all our heart Cuz not knowing jinx/powder will ever be happy all by herself was truly a big mistake from the story but somehow i begin to understand and we all must accept is that their different , above all their league of legend every single one of them specially jinx/powder and i believe this is why she has to take this leap forward..
Everyone loves Jinx simply because redemption is often the deepest yearning of our hearts, be that for ourselves or someone else. We yearn to see kindness, compassion and love triumphing over insecurities, fear and hate. For, we all profoundly know that at the core of each and every one of us is a Powder looking to love and be loved.
For those who watched it and don't know already: JINX ISN'T DEAD I read a UA-cam comment on another video and it said this: "Jinx is alive. If you slow down the explosion and look at the top right you will see a streak of purple quickly move out of frame. Plus Caitlin puts two and two together showing emphasis on the tunnels that lead out of the hex gate. Then the show ends with a zeppelin flying off which hints back to how the show started with powder saying how she wanted to fly in one. The last frame of the show also says " THE END" in Jinxs art style." ...So I rewatched the last scene and it's true; there is her glowing purple movement line which comes only from shimmer in her eyes...
What I love the most, is that the zeppelin that flies out of Piltover is the EXACT. Exact same model that powder refers to in season 1. Watch it. The same model that many years later, you’d thought it be different, changed, but no.
This is the best video of a Jinx complication ever!!!!! It shows her growth as a character so well, you captured it beautifully with the editing skills. As someone who only watched the show for Jinx, and tried to skip as much of the other characters as I could so I could see more of her, this is definitely the type of video I have been looking for. Jinx is the most beautifully broken and best animated character ever written. Well, well done! If anyone ever asks for a video of Jinx, to understand her character, this is the video I send. ❤💔💖
Arcane is one of the very few series that has managed to entangle me with it emotionally, physically and metaphorically. I am sure you understand the extent of it given by how much i messaged abt arcane and its various allusions, hints, well written characters and ofcourse, the visuals. Jinx, for me, is a very personal character, one that i understand and relate to way too much. Seeing you put together some of her life changing moments and editing them so beautifully is healing, in a way. Keep up the good work!
Arcane made me felt almost every emotion. It's just so so good. Even after almost 10 days I still can't stop thinking about it and I know this won't stop for years. Jinx has been my favorite character. Like you said, her character is very relatable to everyone in some or the way and I can't even express the feelings that I felt all the way in season 2. Thank you very much for your kind words!
the fact that this is an 8 minute tribute video and youtube puts 3 ads in the middle of this is a crime in itself.... I am at a point where i am just going to x out of a video as soon as an ad pops up no matter how good the video is
This was such a good edit too, how do you keep doing this T^T the start slowly painting a picture of jinx and how she became like this.. and then the slow transition with silco's voicelines as she tries to end it at the end just- f man this is way yoo good thanks for making my day finding your channel. This def deserves so much more viewsლ(T~Tლ)❤
True masterpiece, one of the best edit I ever seen, probably the best as it is from Arcane and it is the best show I ever seen, the best fiction to ever exist.
Я русский, я не знаю как сказать на английском фразу "ебейшая работа" но попытаюсь сказать так, чтобы ты перевел. Это грандиозный труд, поистине прекрасный, спасибо
MASTERPIECE INDEED, but honestly i would have slown down the video speed on the explosion, maybe zoom in to make sure ppl sees her getting away and shown the airship and ended this video with the "the end" from the series...
Thank you so much! and I wanted to include all that but it felt forcefully included and didn't really fit in well. So, in just let it go with the flow as most people already know about that theory now.
I am dota player for a years but jinx has the reason i start play some lol games not because of the arcane but after that i love her more and more she is so op!
Beautiful edit! I am glad now though that they've given enough clues to show that she survived. I think it would have ruined the endong for me to have her arc end that way after just regaining the will to live. I hope she shows up in whatever world they decide to focus on next, starting her new life (and hopefully with her sister hot on her heels as well).
i enjoyed the series very much even when it made me cry, they were part therapy for me, battling depression and all that good stuff (says sarcastically) but it was hard for me to watch powder, even more vi because i could see powder trying a bit more to get close to vi and with isha, but all vi would do was turn her away or give her one of her one liners which cut deep, and that's why she gave them. sometimes we give words not knowing the state someone else is in...
"what makes you different makes you strong" is a lie that we tell the impressionable to encourage them to embrace who they are that's all. I for one, wanted to become a full time musician since I was 16, given my passion for it and the fact that I'm heavily inclined to the creative arts, talents and passion wise. Couldn't do it because of family circumstances. Wore that mask for years until recently when I took the stand that I was in face born to be a creator and not an academic. That's when the entire family sitch went to shit. I come from a family of brilliant doctors and engineers, so it is safe to say that I AM truly different. All this for me was heartache, guilt and crippling feelings of inadequacy. Being different makes you strong? What a joke. Being different makes you a joke to the rest of humanity, that's all. What matters is whether you let it get to you or not
Your music, art and creativity talent does make you different and strong. You come from a family of brilliant doctors and engineers and you will definitely inherit some of their knowledge but you have something different and extra from them. Your family didn't appreciate your talent that's a different thing and an issue but that doesn't mean that the quote is wrong or you are not strong. They will understand one day, keep working on your art and skills and prove yourself.
Question for a starting editor: how do you get the high quality raw footage to make these? I would love to make video essays but video files are my stop gap. Any tips?
Well, I know you can get them by just doing a web rip of the episodes, and then cutting them, season 1 is on bluray, season 2 you got to webrip until its on bluray
Even if We're Worlds Apart. In the Afterglow watch party the the question whether Jinx survived or not came up and the creators and Ella Purnell, could not keep a straight face, Ella in particular, she kind of his behind her question card, but they said "leaving it open". They have done this many times in Films and T.V Shows when they a character's fate ambiguous. They all give the same answer only for later down the road to bring those character's back after some post-credit reveal to get everyone Hyped up for the return of that character. Look at John Wick, He has a bloody tombstone by the end of John Wick 4, And now he is coming back. Of course he is. Jinx is known for her escaping,She always was able to outsmart the Enforcers, that is her character in game, fractured but Genius,Explosive loving Fun wacky criminal. Now we have a Jinx who is healing, but is still a Genius who has all the skills to fake her death. So her sister can move on. Cait figured it out, Vi didn't burn a paper,like everyone else. Jinx is ALIVE, It is only a matter of When will we see her again, not If..
@@Gamerstrix they do this all the time in media, makes me happy because she’s the face of the game, and it fits her character to escape somehow. Especially after her time with Ekko, there is a massive Cut to Jinx and Ekko arc after Ekko saves her, and he tells her about her other self that there is a positive her they actually get closer as they build weapons and create in preparation to help Vi. Apparently it was done in a romantic montage that parallelled the romantic montage in the alternate universe, which explains why Jinx and Ekko we’re all painted in each others colours and Jinx with a brand new look. Jinx 🥰 TimeBomb in all timelines universe. We will see Jinx again and Ekko. He definitely knows Jinx is still alive. The paper he burned had Powder on it.
CARALHO ISSO AQUI TA LINDO, TA BOM DEMAIS E ME FEZ CHORAR MAIS AINDA TOP, BACANA, LEGAL, nao aguento mais chorar por causa dessa porra de show maravilhoso
how do you separate the background music from the voice lines? 5:00 - 5:10 for example. sounds way too clear to be edited out. do you have access to official voice tracks? or are they public?
I use 5.1 audio as it has separate audio tracks for dialogues and music. If still the dialogues aren't clear then there are some isolation tools like adobe audition or free a.i. tools as well
Mylo may be the created but he did it for a reason. To seek attention because he knew Powder had loads of potential and he barely had. And because Powder was the youngest Mylo took advantage and insulted Powder getting Vi’s and Claggor’s attention to remind them that he is also in the team. Also when the four went on the job and they had to jump. Mylo went before Claggor and jumped and immediately looking at Vi to see if she took note. He thinks he’s useless so he relies on Claggor and mostly Vi when things get serious. And in Ep nine when Vander was proud of him Mylo was happy because he got noticed by the things he do what he is great at.
Amazing edit, if you don't know about the theory regarding the ending scene please do not let me be the reason you find out DONT FUCKING READ MORE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!: After I learned that Jinx survived the explosion it COMPLETELY undermines the entire scene right? Like this edit it amazing but the ending scene is now just pointless and holds no baggage for jinx, it kinda to me feels like it's just a scene meant for Vi now... idk I really wish I didn't know what I know.
@@Gamerstrix You know when Echo is trying to stop her from blowing herself up or from jumping off the fan blade and keeps reversing time? If you look at her face when she starts to listen to him that's when I noticed it.

“I'm always with you, even when we're worlds apart”😭😭😭

As I watch this video a thousand times that scene hits more and more.
That means she flew away. Walked away.
That's sisterly love right there

I love Jinx because she's a psychopath but
incredible I love Arcane and Jinx
honestly I don't think I could watch the whole series again it hurts too much
Same!
Same, friend, same 😭
Same. Hope they bring back Jinx for Season 3 because I miss her and trying to recover from this pain
@@magdypool5582 we're all in pain, friend. But there's no season 3 😢

The most devastating quote "I'm always with you, even when we're worlds apart"😭

For those who watched it and don't know already: JINX ISN'T DEAD
I read a UA-cam comment on another video and it said this:
"Jinx is alive. If you slow down the explosion and look at the top right you will see a streak of purple quickly move out of frame. Plus Caitlin puts two and two together showing emphasis on the tunnels that lead out of the hex gate. Then the show ends with a zeppelin flying off which hints back to how the show started with powder saying how she wanted to fly in one. The last frame of the show also says " THE END" in Jinxs art style."
...So I rewatched the last scene and it's true; there is her glowing purple movement line which comes only from shimmer in her eyes...
Exactly! That's totally correct
What I love the most, is that the zeppelin that flies out of Piltover is the EXACT. Exact same model that powder refers to in season 1. Watch it. The same model that many years later, you’d thought it be different, changed, but no.
Ever since you dropped into my life "literally dropping from the sky"
THIS EDIT IS A MASTERPIECE , literally tells her emotions (if you get what I mean)
Thank you so much!
Understanding videos like this is one of the reasons why I started learning English.
I'm crying, Arcane is so beautiful, Jinx is so beautiful, Ishaaaaa ❤❤❤ Vi💙💙 Vander 💙💙💙
💙💜
Watched it all, made me cry again
🥲
The "Always with you" phrase would have been a better fit for title of the ninth episode imo. What a glorious edit btw🔥
You're right...although that might have spoiled it a bit as the episode names are made public before the show is released
And thank you!
Thanks to your masterpiece edit, I cry even more.
Thank you so much!
This is SO SPECTACULAR!!! Like a movie trailer!!

Mylo is the original creator of Jinx
Mylo may be the created but he did it for a reason. To seek attention because he knew Powder had loads of potential and he barely had. And because Powder was the youngest Mylo took advantage and insulted Powder getting Vi’s and Claggor’s attention to remind them that he is also in the team. Also when the four went on the job and they had to jump. Mylo went before Claggor and jumped and immediately looking at Vi to see if she took note. He thinks he’s useless so he relies on Claggor and mostly Vi when things get serious. And in Ep nine when Vander was proud of him Mylo was happy because he got noticed by the things he do what he is great at.
During the timeline episode, It shows us how MUCH the song "What couldve been" meant to the story. I loved it but hated it 😭
So true🥲
How do you find the footage to edit?
Amazing edit, if you don't know about the theory regarding the ending scene please do not let me be the reason you find out DONT FUCKING READ MORE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!:
