ARCANE EPISODE 9 SEASON FINALE REACTION - THE MONSTER YOU CREATED - 1x9

- Join us as we react to the final episode of Arcane, the Netflix series based on the popular game League of Legends. This episode was devastating... the ending of the season had us in tears for the most unexpected character. This heart wrenching episode 1x9 titled 'The Monster You Created' totally caught us off guard. It speaks volumes of all the character development they've accomplished in such little time. The arcs of all these characters were written so beautifully. Viktor's search of a solution to save himself so he can save others. Jayce coming to terms that sometimes peace comes at a cost. Vi slowly learning to let go of Powder. And Powder/Jinx embracing who she choses to be. But of all of these arcs one stands out. We absolutely ended up loving Silco's journey. Through his perspective we got to understand him. Understand his flaws and his strengths. What hurt us the most was that in the end he was no longer the Silco we saw him as. He was a father giving everything he had for his daughter and that....that hurt us man. I was already a fan of League of Legends but I can positively say now that Arcane has become one of my favorite shows of all time in such little time. Thank you guys for watching!

You wanna know how I lived since Arcane came out?! I need to regularily watch people react to this show, because it's the closest thing to experiencing it again for the first time again I'll ever get. The making-of series on YT helped too. I'll be in trouble if Season two doesnt come out this year :(
I think it will! Hoping for a November-December release! But I guess we’ll know more during Worlds this year 😃 thank you for watching our reaction. We hope we got to give you that feeling of watching it for the first time!
It's what some of us are now cursed to do - to wander UA-cam looking to vicariously re-live that first time again. I've even bumped into another reactor doing the same.
The other thing to do, is to watch Arcane fully at least one more time - you will notice things you previously missed, and it hits somewhat differently.
Let's stay strong. I'm not in too different a position myself.🥲
hi my name is Veit and i`m arcane reaction addicted :D
It almost certainly will not come out this year sadly, but maybe 2024
Jayce: oh no I killed a kid.
Vi: my sister could do that when she was eleven.
Too soon dude 😂
😂
She was twice the killer at half his age. (More like a third of his age, actually)
💀💀💀💀
That was gold in all meanings
"How have you lived?"
By watching this show break others, just the same way it broke me.
We can see how we will all need something to keep our minds full of Arcane until season 2!
Yes… partaking in the schadenfreude of seeing the show emotionally destroy others
@@graphicsaw2657 im not entirely sure you are using that word correctly. Watching other experience a thing you love, including all of the positive and negative emotions that come with it, isnt really the same thing as simply enjoying others' misfortune.
amen to that
the only person whoever accepted and loved Jinx was Silco... everyone else just wanted to see Powder, but Powder was long gone and never would have come back. its not like Jinx replaced Poder out of nowhere, she developed into it.
Techncially its not a cliffhanger ending. The core story - that of Vi and Powder - is complete (as far as the season goes) when she pulls the trigger and fires. Thats the completion of Powder's arc in becoming Jinx and the completion of Vi's arc of failure to save her sister.
Its such a beautiful tragedy, there's really nothing thats comparable as a single season of television that I have ever seen. Truly a masterpiece and perfect on pretty much every possible level.
That's very true - its core has come to a conclusion, and now we're going to embark on the consequences. It was a truly spectacular show!!
Yes, this.
Plus, we all know that most of them is gonna survive.
Also the villain died and Viktor's story is just starting muahahaha
@@crusaderz2 "Join the glorious evolution."
Well, Heimer, Ekko, Viktor, Singed, Warwick, and Ori arc are just starting, I'm guessing they're slowly gonna introduce all of Plitover-Zaun champions over the seasons
There's a reason why this show has won the most awards ever in the history of animated films 🙂
Ufff yeah, no surprise there at all! Fantastic show!!
I still marvel at how the animators manage to capture character's emotions through their facial expressions. Just moments after Silco's death, you can see the grief on Jinx's face turn to complete resignation & despair.
YES!! The level of artistry in this is honestly breathtaking...
yea, and it was all hand animated too, no motion capture.
The skill level of Fortiche is fakking unbelievable.
fun fact they recorded the voicelines before they did the animation so they filmed them while doing it to get these emotions.
Sad part is, if Vi hadn't told them Jinx was responsible for the attacks jayce would have never known her name and Silco could have just thrown someone else under the bus for her actions.
Yes and no. I mean yes, but I do think they would find another solution. The council was already voting for peace with or without the certainty to have Jinx. Jayce would work around it.
But I think that Jinx would have jinxed the situation in another way, it was destiny.
@@concettasorvillo3719 I was just thinking the reason he specifically asked for Jinx was because Vi said her name at the meeting. If she hadn't then Silco likely could have passed the blame onto someone else, and wouldn't you know there just happened to be a woman who had tried to overthrow him that he could have made take the blame.
I was also thinking, just like how a lot of other things mirrored the first few episodes in the ending. In a way Vi's rash decision ended up getting people killed in a similar war to how Powder's rash decision did.
@@trueblaze84 ah no I agree with you on all this. I was just pointing out that, as far as Jayce and Mel are, I don't think they would waste a full agreement on peace just because Silco was not willing to give up Jinx. Maybe they would work it out.
But it wouldn't be the great tragic story it is.
Sorry for the bad use of my verbs, I probably fucked them all. English is not my first language 😅
Some of my thoughts and analysis:
After Jinx shoots Silco, she's shown clearly in that triggered mindless instinctual state like in episode 4 on the ship. Then after a couple breaths you see the exact moment her brain kicks in to full awareness again and... instant regret. Jinx didn't chose to kill Silco, but in a triggered state she instinctually shot at the threat of the sound of the pin drop in Silco's gun. That's entirely the reason she then chooses the Jinx chair, yet again, she was a Jinx to her family.
There is no Powder, Jinx situation there, nor is it a conscious decision. It's just tragedy. Once again, Powder unwittingly killed her family. But this time she killed someone who loved her perfectly. This is probably Jinx's breaking point.
This comment, which many people misunderstood and shared as a comment under each video since this series came out: "Powder killed Silco, so Jinx killed Powder" is actually a wrong analysis. Jinx is Powder's evolution that grows over time. Powder and Jinx are not different people or split personalities, they are the same person.
Silco's line:
"don't cry you're perfect" = not Jinx, not Powder, you're perfect.
I Like the post I saw in someone's comment earlier:
Here is that comment:
Jinx breaks my heart, more than usual, in her final scenes. There's such a sense of resignation and sadness to her; it's in her eyes, her expression, and her body language. I imagine that she's thinking that Mylo was right, all those years ago:
She's a jinx.
And if she's a jinx, she's going to be the worst bad luck Piltover has ever experienced.
No truce. No negotiations. No peace.
Jinx will show them all. Let it all burn, and chaos reign.
War is coming...
I agree, she even jinxed when firing her rocket at the council because I'm not sure she knew there were voting peace at the same time :)
This! Absolutely agree. Jinx is just what became of Powder after all that hurt and trauma. She will definitely show them all. War is coming in season 2 for sure! Ambessa Medarda is coming for Topside with her entire fleet as well! They will feel the wrath of both Jinx and the Noxian forces.
@@OfficialMediaKnights yeah, when you see the show... and know that piltover and zaun are only a little piece of runeterra world...
+
Vi's admonition for Jinx to "remember" everyone...was a bad thing, not a good thing. Those memories HURT her. All she remembers is failure and insults. Even though there were good memories...she doesn't have any of them, they've all been corrupted. Memory isn't a pure thing. It's messy and inconsistent and broken...always. Twisting someone's memory into something else is actually a pretty trivially easy manipulation. Almost nobody recalls anything accurately, ever.
Imagine if a loved one had always been good to you and treated you the best, but for whatever variety of reasons, like some underlying mental illness, a predilection for fixating on negatives, whatever...you ended up remembering them as always hating you, or having abused you. And then someone demanded that you remember only the good things. What would that do to you? Do you really think you'd miraculously have good memories you never made in the first place? Some magical light would open your eyes and you'd just..."get it"? Nope. You'd only remember the awful things your mind concocted for whatever reasons, and the experience would completely destroy you.
Just like it did to Jinx.
Silco didn't want to lose Jinx to Vi...no. But, had things gone differently, if Jinx could've told him that she'd always be his daughter, but she still needs to be Vi's sister (and if Vi could find a way to accept that somehow), Silco absolutely would've let her go, for her to be happy. He was prepared to shoot Vi not because she was going to take Jinx away, but because she was hurting Jinx, and no parent who loves their children (even if they're not an especially good parent) can live with that.
The moment right at the end when Jinx is having a psychotic episode, those crayon-scribble monsters surrounding her and overwhelming her, does a beautiful job of illustrating the tragedy of her impossible choice between her sister and her father. Vi's love for Jinx is as pure and selfless as ever, but she doesn't understand the person her sister has become. She's the one creating those monsters by stirring up memories which for Jinx are nothing but torture. Silco understands Jinx perfectly--you can hear him yell "Shut up! Don't listen to her!" while Vi is accidentally pushing Jinx over the edge because he knows exactly what's happening--but the love he has for her (while real) is manipulative and toxic. For Powder, there was no right choice, and it destroyed her. My only hope for anything resembling a happy ending for the two sisters is if they can somehow find a way to meet in the middle, but at the moment that seems impossible.
Thank you so much for sharing these reactions with us! I had a great time watching. Genuinely this is one of the greatest pieces of media ever made.
Thank you so much for a thoughtful and insightful comment, it's always so wonderful to see analyses like these! There's definitely a lot of complexities to the relationships between the characters and the writers did an amazing job illustrating them both with the dialogue and the symbolism! We're so glad we got to share this journey with y'all!
That's the utterly beautiful and horrific tragedy that is Jinx. Both Vi and Silco love Jinx with every fiber of their beings. However, they are both bad choices for taking care of Jinx. As you already stated, Silco understands Jinx. He often shows patients and encouragement. However, he's also overindulgent towards her destructive (both internally and externally) behavior. Not to mention his projected trama has caused Jinx to become paranoid, distrustful and socially isolated.
Vi on the other hand is a completely different mess. Her biggest problem is that her guilt has caused her to want to press the hard reset button on her and her sisters relationship. Basically she loves Powder so much that she is currently incapable of loving Jinx as she is now. Bless her heart she would try her best, but Vi as she is in Arcane is woefully ill equipped to take care of her volatile, mentally ill sister.
"how have you guys been able to live without season 2?"
I watch people react to season 1 endlessly to vicariously relive the magic .
Haha we feel you, it's impossible to let go of Arcane!!!
All powder wanted was validation, but never got it. In her one moment of "triumph" she accidently causes the death of her father figure and gets anger from her sister. Jinx kills her father figure and he treats her with kindness and gives her the validation she was always after.
Absolutely - it was a tenderness and approval she was longing for, which she received from Silco - uncompromising and unconditional.
Something I thought to metnion while watching:
Jinx and Power are the same person. Jinx has (from what I can tell) PTSD from the 3ed episode and she only started calling herself Jinx because of her last argument with Vi in that episode. Its not entiearly defined but she could have taken the name as either out of spite or because its the last memory she has of her sister. In either case, Power as a person is technically the same person as Jinx, the only difference is that she didn't have Vi there to guide her. So while she feels she has "changed" she is right in the sense that she no longer has the moral compas taught to her by Vi & Vander. All their lessons basically got forgotten under Silco, who raised her how he thought would be best, seeing her situation as being one he was in. What Silco probably knew that Vi was not catching on to either too is that Jinx's memories of Vander, Clager & Milo are not positive. And arguably, neither is her last memory of Vi. They are the "monsters" she battles with and when Vi was edging her on with the intent to getting Jinx to remember who she was... well that was the problem. She isn't Power anymore. She has changed and Vi is holding onto a version of her that no longer exists. She has grown and changed and Vi hasen't been digesting that through the end of this series. Jinx just wanted Vi to lover her regardless of what she had become. Vi wanted the sister she had, not what her sister had become.
It is by far one of the best scenes ever written into this show but that finel bit shows it all. Its hard to describe. But the point is, Jinx has always been Jinx. Power is Jinx. The only difference that changed her was how she was raised after Silco took her in. I can only guess as to why she took to calling herself Jinx, but if she feels she is that far different from her past self, then that might explain it. But the important part is that aside from a change in morality, she is technically the same person. Even at her younger age, Power/Jinx was tinkering with making weapons. She stuck to that and got better at it. I think if she didn't have Siclo as an influence, she easily could have made a career as an inventor.
Vi needed to accept jinx as she is now, jinx. Not be stuck on her past self (powder) because she literally isn't powder she changed.
But yes its not that simple obviously, it's just a very well done complicated story.
Also that transition of caitlyn screaming to her mother in the council made me tear up. It explains why caitlyn has a personal grudge against jinx, she's the reason her mother died.
Jayce designed those gauntlets for mining, so when a large, heavy object was coming down from above, it likely triggered a cave in defense feature, you can tell Vi was just as surprised by the shield as Sevika was. So in a way, Jayce was right, Vi couldn't make it on her own, she needed help from Caitlyn and (indirectly) Jayce to survive Sevika each time they met. Sevika is.. probably my second favorite character behind Vi, and it's not a big gap. She's like a dark reflection of Vi... Tough, Smart (the way she pushed Jinx and Vi's buttons), and loyal to the idea of freedom for Undercity over any one person (which is why she betrayed Vander but not Silco). If Silco had survived and refused independence to save Jinx, Sevika would have almost certainly turned against him. Just another example of the greatness of this show is that these relatively minor characters are gaining their own fans and they communicated so much of who they are with such limited screen time.
The writing is so subtle and masterful, and like you said it shows how they wrote the smaller characters and breathed life into them as well! They were not just props to move the plot forward, which is just amazing to witness in a show!
I read a comment somewhere that its the first time Vi actually tries to block an attack not just with her face, just like Echo said.
@@CraftedLP I've seen that comment. It's fanciful, but patently false. Vi blocks loads of attacks throughout the series, including several knife thrusts that would have cut young Vi's story short, let alone the blade wielding shimmer zombies in Episode 8. Even in the fight where she was captured, the firelights couldn't lay a fist on her until she got hit from behind while trying to stop Jinx from killing someone.
"You block with your face" isn't usually literal, it's a metaphor for an overly aggressive style that sacrifices defense. The series clearly shows Vi as very adept at blocking and slipping attacks, but also shows her aggression with those big leaping right hands that often get her punished.
I'm really glad that I'm not the only one who caught the logical explanation for having a hextech zero-gravity shield as part of the atlas gauntlets that Vi wears. I've seen a couple reactors in the past who, upon seeing the shield, were like, "AND THESE ARE FOR MINING?!?!" These are supposed to be gloves to allow the user to mine underground without significant risk of death or potential injury. Part of that is the ability to block falling debris, rockslides, and other seismic activity that would otherwise cause a cave-in.
Silco is the best Villain ever written, possibly the best character Ive ever seen.
Aboslutely amazing.
All characters in Arcane are but Silco and Jinx in particular are absolutely phenomenal.
The Voice acting is also the best ive ever heard, atleast in english, from every single character.
This show the definition of a masterpiece.
Absolutely agreed!!
This show has so many amazing lines throughout, but no matter how many times I hear Silco's "Don't cry. You're perfect.", it rips me up every single time. I need to double check, but I think it's the first time in the show he isn't addressing her as Jinx. He is always telling her that Jinx is perfect, but at the end it's not about Jinx vs Powder, it's about his daughter and how she is perfect. Silco is one of my absolute favorite villains. He has goals that we can sympathize with, but chooses a villainous path to achieve them. But he is also a father and we do find at the end that he truly cares for his daughter (a question I know I had until this final episode). Arcane is absolutely amazing and watching again with your reactions was fantastic.
Thank you soooo sooo much for your support and the compliment!! You are so right - Silco is such a wonderfully written character, with all his complexities, his rage, his hurt, his love and vulnerabilities... Just spectacularly written
Ella Purnell is so good. Every line hits so hard in this last scene!
Her voice and the cracks...where you can literally hear the emotion through the delivery. An amazing performance!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Yup.
This show is nothing less than a complete masterpiece. It's been an absolute pleasure watching you two discover and enjoy it for the first time. I normally don't comment much on videos in general because of my social awkwardness/anxiety, but you guys are legitimately some of the best reactors I've seen tackle this show and I've seen a lot. I love how attentive you are, you catch nuances and the many layers this show has, you don't dismiss any of the characters or their motivations and not to mention great commentary. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing your channel thrive.
Not sure if anyone commented this yet, but in the final scenes of episode 9, where Vi is trying to call back Powder, she's inadvertently recreating the game where they pretended to be big scary monsters when they were children. Back in episode 8, Vi mentioned she would sometimes get way too into her role and scare Powder, so she would pretend to chase her own monsters away to make her feel better.
Jinx tells Vi to make Caitlyn "go away", because in Jinx's mind, Caitlyn is a monster that she needs to be protected from and wants to get rid of and she wants Vi, her big sister to do it for her, to protect her from the monsters; just like she had promised she always would.
Here, Vi is getting carried away and doesn't realize that she's hurting and scaring Powder by reminding her of their family. For Vi, even though their family is linked to trauma, they are a source of love and motivation for her to keep going, to keep fighting despite the hardship. But for Jinx, they are nothing but demons who constantly haunt her at this point. She no longer has happy memories of them.
The whole dinner/tea party scene imo, was one big test to see if Vi would accept Jinx as she is now and let Powder (the past) go. To love her unconditionally, despite how much she's changed. But of course, Vi seeing just how violent and unhinged her sister has become is taking a toll on her emotionally and she hasn't really had much time to process any of it.
"I thought maybe you could love me (Jinx) like you used to (Powder)".
Wow! It means the world to us that you took the time to write such an insightful and wonderful comment. And we are happy to hear from you. Thank you for being part of this community. The ending of this season was tragic and heartbreaking. Made us feel for all the characters involved. So many layers of deep storytelling here. Vi has to accept Powder is gone…she is different now…she is Jinx. But maybe just maybe after all. There is still room for love.o
@@OfficialMediaKnights
That's why Silco was telling Violet to shut up and Jinx shouldn't listen. (when Violet starts saying names and Jinx says "stop" after seeing the Claggor image)
At that time, Silco knows Jinx better than Violet.
If you go back and check out Episodes 4 and 5, you can see that Jinx has suffered from past traumas and is trying to help Jinx in her Silco.
That’s a really good analysis. Especially when you think about how all the monsters got stronger when Vi said me. In VI’s mind, their family was a source of strength for her, something to fight for. For Jinx, it’s a reminder of her guilt and insecurities. Jinx was created so that Powder could distance herself from it all, having to change herself to survive her demons. To be stronger. But we see that her ways of coping are violent and chaotic. Vi can’t accept that her sister became a product of what she saw around her growing up.
The fight scenes in this series were just unbelievable well done. So badass
"In the pursuit of great we failed to do good" is my favorite line from the series.
Savika isn't loyal to Silco, she's loyal to the cause. She's frustrated with Silco and she and Fin formed an alliance based onbthat frustration. But Silco reminded her that Fin doesn't care about the cause, the undercity is just a moneymaking enterprise to him. She may be frustrated with Silco but at least they agreed on the cause.
That's so funny you wrote this, we LITERALLY just yesterday said the same thing! Sevika's loyalty is absolutely not to Silco, she made that clear when Silco asked her if she was tempted, and she said 'not to a rat like him' (or something along those lines!). She wants independence for Undercity - she'll work with whoever she thinks will get it done!
@@OfficialMediaKnights I do wonder if the shot at the end of this episode showing Sevika looking over at Silco's empty chair is foreshadowing - perhaps it's her time to lead now.
@@Hohum37 this is my thought. I love the idea. Though I've heard some speculation about who the bigger fish in the undercity may be.
Sevika is not the type to lead but to be the right hand. and in the game, the underworld leader is someone else.
Arcane is now a show you watched, join us with our expectations permanently raised 🤣 thanks for sharing with us this is a great reaction channel
We will stay in the 'When are we getting a season 2 trailer' limbo with you guys 😂 What an amazing experience! Thank you guys for watching with us!
@@OfficialMediaKnights btw you brought up Warwick, if you're feeling brave and wanna be even more sad, Warwick has been hinted throughout the entire show, and here is a video where they put it all together. ua-cam.com/video/2MRqHaXpW6s/v-deo.html
@@OfficialMediaKnights there is teaser for season 2. With Warwick's music theme.
Ohhhhh wow thanks so much for this!!! We will absolutely check it out to see and get even more sad!
You guys are probably the 15th(?) full react I've watched of this show. Top notch. Looking forward to seeing Bridging the Rift with you guys. (Patreons know it's coming)
possible spoilers ahead if you scrolled down without watching episode 9 yet :
The show does such a great job at putting the characters into decisions where it's impossible to know what 'the right thing' is and how to proceed. Even little bits like taking the time to humanize Sevika beyond "tough bad guy" with telling Silco how to deal with a daughter. Every character has behavior that seems reasonable for who they are and what they know at the time.
Silco is one of my favorite villains in any show I've seen. Even without the touching arc he went through, he was amazing. The scene at Vander's statue really was the moment that helped me solidify my belief that this show knew how to write nuance. I cried so hard at his death. I cannot wait for Season 2 and I'm really curious how they're going to use Warwick.
Thank you soo soo much for joining us on this journey, honestly, it's been incredible to go on this with you guys. It's a little bittersweet knowing this is the last episode but Season 2, hopefully, is here soon!
And absolutely agreed with your comment. We both were quite apprehensive of Silco - despite you all telling us, we both had a hard time trusting if he actually cared about Jinx. But, alas, he did - and it was his ending that shattered us the most. That and the moment he had at Vander's statue... This show, man...
@@OfficialMediaKnights That's honestly most people with Silco. Episode 1 you're creeped out, Episode 3 you hate him, peoples opinions shift but most are still apprehensive up until Episode 8 when his genuine love for Jinx shines through on the bridge and the doctor's office. After that, I haven't seen a single bad word about Silco as a character. Most people cry at his death, which is pretty rare for a villain.
It's funny, back when the first trailers for Arcane came out, I was actually concerned about Silco. He only got small bits of dialogue, and most of them were his more stereotypical villain stuff about stopping at nothing to achieve his goals. So I felt he was going to be a bit flat based on my first impression - "it's League of Legends, it's a video game adaptation, even if the art is cool the story will probably be pretty mid, he's gonna be a typical scheming archetype". I could not have been more wrong.
Silco ranks up among my favorite villains of all time - animated or not. I'm hoping for some more Silco through flashbacks next season, be it through Jinx or Warwick's eyes.
In the end, I don't feel that there are any 'true' villains in this show. There are a lot of human characters; some do a few bad things, others do a lot of bad things, but none of them are stereotypical, cliché Bad Guys. I understand how and why the characters make the choices that they do, even if I can't condone or approve of them.
"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good." One of my favorite quotes from the series.
I think Jayce is being overly optimistic and naïve in his thinking that topside would massacre the under city, should it come to war. He took part in a single fight against factory guards, child workers, and drugged up berserkers, with Vi backing him up with hextech powered gauntlets and himself wielding a hextech powered hammer that also had a shield and blaster mode. To extrapolate from that fight the course of an entire war? I really doubt it would be that easy.
"Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?" I'm reminded of another quote: The one thing you can't give up for your heart's desire is your heart.
The tea party scene: right away, you know it's not going to end well. Vi and Silco both love Jinx, I have no doubt about that, but Silco is projecting his own issues and trauma onto Jinx, while Vi inadvertently but repeatedly triggers her sister with reminders of their past. And Caitlyn wants to arrest Jinx for all her crimes.
And at the center of it all is Jinx: traumatized, mentally unwell, Shimmer running through her system, trying desperately to figure who to trust and what she should do, knowing that she can't even trust her own mind.
Naturally, it all goes to hell. Vi meant well, trying to remind her sister of their family, but she didn't realize that to Jinx, those names, those faces, aren't comforting. They manifest as demons in her mind, driving her towards one of her worst mental breakdowns yet. Silco manages to grab a gun, points it at Vi, and...
Jinx reacts. Again, she kills someone she loves without being fully aware of her actions. Tragedy, yet again. And Jinx is pushed to, and most likely past, her breaking point.
One more attack. One more explosion. And...that's how we're left, until next season. Who lived? Who died? What next?
Hopefully, we'll find out soon.
Thanks for your reactions.
Thanks so much for such a great comment, we truly appreciate it! Your thoughtful analysis was such a joy to read!
The way they wrote the grief and trauma into this, whilst growing the friction between the characters is truly masterful. Cannot wait for season 2!
28:32 You’re right, that’s Vander (aka Warwick) hanging from the dr.’s wall with shimmer being pumped into him. Can’t wait to see what they do in season 2.
No longer Vander I’m afraid…that is most definitely Warwick 😭
@@OfficialMediaKnightswarwick is known to have flashbacks of his past. It’ll be super interesting in S2. It’s funny you didn’t pick up characters calling Vander ,,Hound of the underground” 😂
Ahahah I mean it honestly didn't cross our minds 😂😂😂 now we know better and need to go cry some more!
He's the first one that I see that he has noticed that Vander is very possibly Warwick
you know it's a great a show when yo cry over the villain
FACTSSS!!! I was stunned by how I was weeping for Silco, a character that took me so long to trust when it came to his feelings for Jinx... Just wow
The series is so good that it even has rewatch value and you find those little hints and nuggets that you had missed before.
10/10 show.
Oh absolutely, we're definitely gonna be rewatching the hell out of this until the next season comes out!
arcane and the last of us are 2 video game adaptation that have set the bar so high for other show
Right?! They ruined us for life, now even mediocrity will hurt 😂
Vi's gauntlets were designed for mining in the fissures. Of course Jayce incorporated a shield to activate in a collapse when rocks fell from above. It didn't activate until Sevika leapt off the bar and came at her from above :D
And I recommend therapy, because it doesn't get easier. The obsession with it, if anything, gets more intense. Next comes watching Bridging the Rift, then watching every league cinematic, then watching everyone else react to it.
Haha that moment was so badass though, all the fight sequences were just filled with high stakes!
We are definitely gonna need some therapy after this haha, thankfully we got Bridging the Rift after this so at least there's that silver lining 😂
Ekko told her when they reunited “And you still block with your face!” VI’s approach to fighting (and a lot of things in general) has been to brute force it, all offense, no defense. That’s why in the Vander vision, the first thing he mentions is “Your guard needs work.” He was pointing out she needed to block, defend more, not just straight attack, if she wanted to win. It had a double meaning as well, because she always approached her problems in the same way, powering through, when she needed to approach them in a different way if she wanted her sister back.
Seriously one of the best reactions to Arcane that I've seen! Thank you guys! I have re-watched the show countless times and the only way I can wait for season 2 is by watching reactions like these! Even though I know everything word for word and scene for scene, I was still crying alongside you...this is a masterpiece for sure!!!
Honestly we're going through the same withdrawal feelings - the emptiness after those credits start rolling is just... Heavy. It's comments like these filled with passion for such a good show that keeps us inspired. Besides we're working on Bridging the Rift now haha, so we have something else to help ease our pain - together!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Yessssss Bridging the rift just leaves you even more awe-struck!!! Can't wait to see those reactions ;0))
Hey Knights! Thank you so much for watching this series with us! It has been such an amazing experience and we are so grateful for all the love and support. So happy we got to meet so many of you through this show. You guys are amazing!

It is hardly a spoiler, but yes, Vander is Warwick
P.S. we can hear “a bit” from him in the season 2 announcement (at the end)
The answer to your question about Warwick is yes. But it's a big spoiler to non-league people so keep it hush-hush :)
Now you can watch Bridging the Rift, one of the best documentaries about a show I’ve ever seen.
Others have already answered but I wanted to bring another thing up that would be spoiler-y for non league people below:
If you know or see Viktor ingame you also kinda know what kind of route he'll probably take in the future.
"How have you been able to live?" Well you notice the audience... we're obsessed. I never was into tragedy but Arcane, omg Arcane!
when Vi was telling her to remember it was hurting her more than helping and Vi just didn't realize that. That's why it looked like her demons were overbearing her
I always love it how whenever jinx says "girlfriend" every reactor immediately knows who she's referring to💀
Our minds went to the worst place possible! Really thought we would loose Caitlyn!
Man that's the 4th time watching this season all the way through and it still has me bawling like a baby. And each watch through you see things differently and pick up on little things you missed even such things as a glance to another character or a small facial expression that change the scene entirely.
THANK YOU! I stated it at the first episodes and I can only repeat it here. You are easy in my top 3 reactions to this MASTERPIECE. I could have watched this reaction without the original material and without your sound. I still would have known where we are in the show just by you reactions and faces. You could see every puzzlepiece clicking in its position. I sat there for 15 mins straight without saying a word when I saw the end of this episode. Completely lost and devasted.. You asked how we could survive so long after this. The answer is easy : reactions like yours. Going through this over and over again. And commenting with people who feel the same. You surely haven't watched this the last time and it will not lose any of its fascination. Thanks for joining my therapy ... ;-) And best of luck for finding a show that will have a similar affect on you like Arcane. It took me months to be able to really enjoy another show... You did an amazing job guys. :)
DUDE!! Thank you so much for your generosity and your kind words. It really helps us keep calling off of work to be able to edit these videos for you! 😂But in all seriousness we are very thankful to have you here with us. We are so happy that we are in your top reactors list. That is a massive compliment for us and it is what we strive for everyday. This show was one of my favorite experiences throughout media. Books, movies, games or shows. This is it. This is what art is supposed to do. Connect us all and have us asking the right questions. This community has been filled with nothing but wonderful beautiful people like yourself that keep sharing with us knowledge and experience. Up next we still have some more Arcane left in the tank with Bridging the Rift and some Champ cinematics to keep us going. We hope to see you in a future show. Thank you for all the love ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights I am not going anywhere. The show will get even more fascinating when you watch Bridging the Rift and even League stuff. I trust in your patrons to supply you with the right cinematics (I know at least one who will try it😜) . You will be blown away by the possibilities this world has to offer. Other even greater stories to be told. This can EASILY become a better MCU! Seriously!
The journey goes on.. 😃👍
Haha I mean if you know someone who knows all the right cinematics get us in touch, ya know 😉 We honestly can't wait to share Bridging the Rift with y'all, and then perhaps some cinematics too!
@@OfficialMediaKnights You will get adressed... 😉👍😜
@@masterofpuppets7586 Lol. Haha. It was already done ;D But thanks MoP. Always the go to hype guy in these reactions. Thank you always for your kind words and support! Keep a wary eye out!
Bravo.
Few reactors have been so in tune with Arcane as you folks. Thank you for sharing your first experience with the rest of us.
A genuine pleasure for me.
My goodness, thank you!! So very much! It's been our pleasure and honor to go on this journey with you all!
This show is an AMAZING demonstration on why animation should not be able to considered only for kids
Precisely!!! It was easily one of the greatest show we've ever seen!
This is and will always be my favorite show, so well writen and the ending got my jaw left open.
Seriously though, after we realized that that was it we just blankly stared at the screen for a hot minute... Fantastic show!
i've loved you guys' reactions!!! i have seen probably 75+ arcane reaction series and you guys are one of my favorites!!! i'm so glad I found your channel and i'll be sticking around for tlou :)
Wow...simply wow. This makes our day and our entire week! This is why we do what we do. Everyday we strive to connect with you guys through these reactions in the most genuine way possible. In a way we are vulnerable and allow you guys to get to know us a bit better. Hearing that you guys enjoy our reactions and going a step further and putting us on your favorite list is the best gift ever. Thank you!
Every time you guys cry, I cry lol. I’ve really been loving this channel and I think it’s my favorite. You two seem like really kind and empathetic people and I can’t wait to watch more stuff with you.
Awwww this comment!!! You're so kind for these words and for your support, it truly means everything to us! We're so glad to have you among us!
Viktor is my most favorite character with no question. He spent his entire life living for others, trying to help others and never himself. Then the ONE time he does something to benefit himself this happens, and he immediately walks it back. And even that *selfish* decision was one that was for benefiting OTHERS. UGH give my boi a moment of peace please
also that shot of Caitlyn screaming at the missile, and then the fade away to Caitlyn's mom.
Absolutely agreed on all fronts!! This show did such a fantastic job at crafting their characters and creating such heartwrenching defining moments for them! What a masterpiece!
The way that Mel looks at her family crest ring when the idea of peace is brought up because she knows that peace means no weapons for her mom's war. It's peace or family for her. Also she takes her ring off right before she votes to support it.
What to do until Season 2 comes.... that's the question. Well, the rewatchability of this show is through the roof. I have watched it several times and watched at least 50 full reactions. It's so densely packed with information that nobody picks up on the first few watches. Even now, I still find things I never noticed before. For example, I found one today... When Jinx pushes Kaitlyns chair up to the table we see that Jinx has put a gag/muzzle/mask over her mouth and drawn an exaggerated smiley face on the mask in pink crayon. Today is the first time that I noticed that after Kaitlyn gets free and has removed the mask that there is still a couple of pink marks on her face where Jinx had overshot the edges of the mask. Who pays attention to details like that when they are making a friggen cartoon? You will see during the "Bridging the Rift" series that the creators of "Arcane" put maximum effort into every aspect of the show. The whole thing is a labor of love and the showrunner, Christian Linke, is my personal hero.
This is so damn true!! Y'all have continuously pointed out details to us, on top of which we still get to edit the episode, so even then we miss things! The attention to detail in this is absolutely incredible, and makes it worthy of multiple re-watches!
Agreed on all points. I think that each of the artists involved in this masterpiece spent each day committed to giving their best work.
Yay!! So glad you guys finally finished it and loved it :) Absolutely loved watching you fall in love with the characters and art. Cant wait for us all to have season 2!
We're so glad you enjoyed! We definitely fell in love with all of it. The story...the show...the characters. Need season 2 to be done this same way. They can take as long as they need because this was unforgettable
You two have one of my favorite reactions I've watched to this show so far, and I've seen a lot. As to your review of the show, I can only say, "You're goddamn right."
Whoaaa thank you!! Wow this honestly makes our day, thank you so so much for your support!!
This finale broke me too. It was amazing and it been a long time since I watched this but what keep me going are reactors like you guys. I'm glad you enjoyed it and let hope to have news about the season 2 ASAP.
Ahh this ending was absolutely devastating, but so worth every moment. Your comment and other comments like these, truly are a huge part in what keeps us so motivated, so thank you! Can't wait for season 2!
7:20 definitely my favorite lines in the show, and his delivery was perfect for the great remorse he was feeling at the time
Man that line... Utterly destroyed us 🥺
Thanks!
What a great show ! And what a cliffhanger too. After the first three episodes, hard to imagine shedding tears for Silco at the end...😭
Right?!? We were so stunned to see how emotional we got at Silco's demise... It's a spectacular show!
Can't wait for Bridging the Rift, that behind the scene really make me appreciate this show even more and I already in love with it.
Oh we are so excited to share it with you, the first reaction will be ready soon!
Great to see you get to the glorious end of season 1. What a finale! The writers managed to both give us an actual conclusion, seeing Jinx come into her own and learn/decide for herself who she believes she truly is, all the while leaving us with that massive cliffhanger. I cannot wait to see where Riot Games and Studio Fortiche take season 2! So glad you loved it! It's my favourite animated series of all time.
Thank you so much for embarking with us on this, and for sticking with us through to the end! This show has been such a journey, an emotional rollercoaster - with one of the best finales I've ever seen for a show! Season 2 can't be here soon enough!
What a beautiful heartfelt reaction.
Thank you so much for watching this with us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed!
It was great to see you two so stoked about this show!
Thank you so much for the consistent support til now, it means the world, truly! The show was spectacular, so we couldn't help but be stoked!
I've survided this long with just feasting on YT reaction videos and this is exactly what I needed to breathe thank you 🙂
also, to make the ekko and jinx scene even more sad, Ekko used to have a crush on powder, LOL players and Legends of runterra players would know
because in game they'd have interaction when they meet each other, he would say to her "I use to have a crush until you started talking to the gun"
(P.S I've subscribed)
Thanks for the comment and support! We are definitely missing the world of Arcane desperately and can't wait for Season 2!
the best show couldn't miss the best reactors, thanks guys for that 🥰👏👏
Aw thank youuu!! Comments like these make our day, we appreciate you!!!
Guys, it was a great jorney to watch this show again with both of you. Thanks a lot for all reactions. I will follow you in the next ones:)
Thank YOU, honestly, your continued support has meant the world to us, truly. To future journeys together!
This was the best Arcane reaction I have seen. I really enjoyed that you actually discussed the themes of the story and appreciated the show in all its facets. You seem like two very cool and intelligent people. Thank you 👌
Whoa thank you so much for this wonderful comment, it means the world to us to read this!! So glad you enjoyed our reaction!🙂
Thanks you 2, your true reaction to this show, made me live again all those emotions, I love this show, and this to me is the best drama narrative I ever saw
Our pleasure! Super happy to see you enjoyed it. I can see why we all need reliving these emotions. Season 1 was so incredible I cant thank this community enough for suggesting this show. This is one of the best experiences I've had in media in a long time!
The way i've been able to live without season 2 is that I am happy to wait for as long as necessary if it means season 2 is treated a beautifully as the first was. They can take all the time they want to do everything right, to make sure the quality is worthy of the legacy that season 1 has established
Jinx is who she is. Sico accepted her for that. As much as Vi loved her she was never going to accept her as she was. It's nice to say she should be powder but she's just not that girl anymore.
Absolutely - and as Jinx said, they've both changed. After what she's endured I don't think there is a going back for Jinx - only moving forward.
Acceptance of her monstrous aspects isn't the best thing for Jinx. They fall in line with Silco's warped sense of what's perfect though.
Vi has had literally only minutes with Jinx, and most of that time wasn't under the best circumstances. No, Vi isn't likely to accept the murdery/tormented aspects of Jinx - and she shouldn't - they are deeply unhealthy. It's Jinx that's coming up with the idea that it's a choice between Powder and Jinx. The creators very carefully made one of the interactions between Vi and Jinx unique in style: Black screen, no music, barely any ambient sound. "Are we still sisters?" "Nothing is ever going to change that."
Given a bit more time and positive circumstance to understand her sister as she currently is, Vi would likely want to help her become someone who isn't tormented nor criminally violent. Of course, this isn't going to happen.
I loved your reviews of this series. You have a definite follower.
Wowwww thank you!!! We're so glad to have you among us, your support means everything to us!
Glad you spotted Warwick. The theory is that Vandar is Warwick and there is so much to back it up.
Great reaction you two! And yes, that was Vander at the end. Most reactors miss that.
Thank you so so much, we're so glad you enjoyed it!
Great reaction I couldn’t wait for you to react to this episode. Yes, you did see who will become Warwick, the former hound of the underground Vander himself. I know I watched all of the cinematics to help get through my Arcane withdrawal.
Haha the withdrawal is real! Thank you so much for sticking with us and supporting us all the way through. This finale was sensational! Vander as Warwick is going to break our hearts, we already know it!!
The arc of Powder/Jinx of consistently feeling insecure and not enough and being a "Jinx" for then Silco at the end to call her "perfect" it's so devastating but to me, I know she needed to hear it.
I won't defend Silco, nor do I think any love he had for Jinx makes up for his actions, but I do think he was in danger of turning into a different man.
Vander was supposedly known as the "hound of the underground." Silco repeatedly mentions how Vander had been some kind of brute during their time of leading the uprisings. "I knew you still had it in you" after Vander tried to choke Silco, or him telling Vander "I'll show you what you really are" when threatening to use Shimmer to turn Vander into a monster. Vander had once done monstrous things. That's why Silco was so in disbelief about how Vander could roll over for Piltover, because this was the same ruthless, driven man that had been instrumental in their rebellion. It was also the same man who had decided he couldn't let Silco live and tried to drown him in the river. It was Vander finding the kids and becoming their father figure that made him leave that old life behind. He found something he couldn't sacrifice, even for the cause. He became a different man. Silco saw this as a complete 180 from the fighter he knew. Vander learned to be a decent father and a pretty good guy.
This is why I think Silco is such an incredible character, because he's going through the same transformation. Before Jinx, he had given his speech about how power comes to those who are willing to give up anything, but as the show goes on we see how power is slipping away from him because Jinx is the one person he'll never sacrifice. His business partners were turning into rivals, his second in command was questioning his judgment, his corrupt sheriff was beginning to crack, and all because he wouldn't give up Jinx. Everyone around him keeps bringing her up as a weak link: "Where is Jinx anyway?" "She's a risk and we all know it." It took Jace flat out forcing the ultimatum for him to realize how far he'd fallen, prompting the scene where he drinks in front of Vander's statue and says, "It all makes sense now, brother" and "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?" He finally understood the 180. He would burn down everything he had worked for just for her. His days as a crime boss were numbered. Peace with topside would never happen so long as they wanted Jinx's head. He was going down the same path as Vander, he was just slower to realize it has happening, trying to juggle being ruthless and being a loving father, and realizing too late that he couldn't be both.
So yes, Silco was a monster and a terrible influence, but he was in real danger of becoming a good man.
What a beautiful comment and analysis, thank you for taking the time to write this out.
You know, it's funny to see these small children get under the skin of such ruthless men - somehow they lost all their defenses against them, and it was such a vulnerable journey to watch... Absolutely agreed that Silco is a beautifully written character, full of contradictions. That's truly great and timeless writing...
At last, final episode!
Perfect..
Thank you so much for going on this journey with us! Hope you enjoy 😀
Ofc, we enjoy) I even started playing League of legends because of this show… that’s how much it got me invested…
P.S. maybe, some LoL music video or tales of runeterra reactions? 😊
Ohhhh that sounds good actually! We're currently working on Bridging the Rift so right after we'll get into some more fun stuff 😁
Vi was always strong. But in episode 6 she took a shimmer tonic to heal her wound. I feel like some of that power is both from the Hextec gloves and the small amount of shimmer in her too.
Sevika wasn't tempted, she was sending a message. The funny thing is that Finn wasn't even a player in his own takeover (It's not like she didn't warn him several times that he was a moron). Sevika just used Finn to send a message to Silco "Get your shit together or next time I might kill you". Sevika is loyal to the cause, not Silco nor Vander. I love this scene because it really cement Sevika as a great character in her own right. She goes from super minor musclehead in act 1 that serves to show the dissent against Vander (although we get hints of her devotion to the cause when she sacrifices herself and end up losing her arm to save Silco from the bomb) to major character but without too much agency in act 2 (beside trying to figure out a way out of the "Jinx" problem) to really being a major player in act 3.
You guys are lucky that it has so far only been a month, we have been waiting for almost 2 years now. It is a masterpiece but to get this level of quality you need time.
That's very true!! As much as we would love to have Season 2 out now, we care more about them maintaining this level of quality, so we'll gladly wait if that's what it takes!!
Love these reactions.
Thank you for watching this show with us! We wouldn't be here without all of you ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights Well done.
Thank youu!!!
Mel is wearing what i believe is shining Locket of Solaris. Item in the game that protects its user and the nearby allies. So, i do expect if not all, then some of the council members to survive the blow.
When this aired I cried. There was so much going on I hardly knew what to think. I just wanted everyone to be happy.
SERIOUSLY!!! We did not expect to get this emotional - we're not really heavy criers unless something is truly good and heartbreaking. This just hit us out of nowhere! Everyone just deserves a break, man... This is too sad 🥺
The technology incorperating stuff like shimmer is called chemtech. So vi vs savika was a matchup of hextech vs chemtech while fishbones, the rocket launcher jinx used, is a fusion of both techs which is what makes it extra impressive
It's so awesome and badass to see different techs face off against eachother!!
Show left a hole in my heart. I keep watching reactions over and over and over again. I can't bear the fact that I have to wait so long for season 2
Silko was not an absolute villain. He was a revolutionary who wanted his people to live better. And the way he went about it - well, he grew up in that world, in absolute poverty and darkness - the son of his people. And, nevertheless, despite the prohibitions to himself, he remained a man and a loving father, and not an insensitive, harsh leader.
Absolutely - he was a man of determination, and did what he thought was right with the resources he had at this disposal. All characters in this have multiple shades and facets to themselves which makes the show so much better than it already is!
Great reaction, enjoyed the part the whole way !
I love the way they showed us how jinx is haunted by her past !
And of course she s gone sit in the jinx seat ... she s the cause of the death of both her fathers...
Thanks so much for your support, we're so happy you enjoyed our reaction! You know, as much as we love Jinx, and how she had good intentions when she set off that bomb as a child, her actions had devastating consequences - consequences that still haunt her. It's heartbreaking how she's become a victim to her own trauma... Just goes to show. Sometimes what doesn't kill us, doesn't make us stronger, it just breaks us...
Boom! You are now suffering from Arcane withdrawal. Welcome to the club! That was a quite a ride and I quite enjoyed the journey with you guys. Best overall reactions series I've seen so far from the intelligent and nuanced takes to the emotional roller coasters. I recommend seeing Cyberpunk: Edgerunners as well. These two series single handedly made me believe that video game adaptations can work as long as the source material is respected and built upon with both the characters and the loyal consumers in mind. Looking forward to more content from you guys! Peace!
Hahaha thank you, we are glad we get to suffer together in this club, so we're not alone in this 😂😂😂 Thank you so so much for your support and kind words, honestly, it means the world to us to see this kind of immense support! We wouldn't be here without y'all! Thank you also for the recommendation, we're currently looking for the next show to devastate and entice us haha!
@@OfficialMediaKnights best part after watching is the meme art and videos you can see afterwards. Looking forward to your channel's growth!
Okay, now that you've watched ARCANE, there are two things you really should check out. 1) Arcane: Bridging the Rift, the making-of series that Riot released on UA-cam, and 2) all of the UA-cam videos that @schnee has released which take a deep dive into the mind-blowing writing of ARCANE. Both will give you an even deeper appreciation for the series.
Thanks so much for the comment, actually we are currently working on Bridging the Rift, the episodes should be out soon! For the second one, hell yeah, we'd love to!
Finally reactors who understand Silco was never gonna surrender Jinx to Piltover
A detail I like is that you can *see* that the light’s left Jinx’s eyes after Silco dies.
Glorious evolution - "victor"
Behold the new era of dark Vader
29:19 I felt that. I felt that so hard. That moment of utter horror and shock when you actually realize that there are no more episodes currently. It’s quite painful tbh
And that was the edited version!! We were stunned into silence and ended up scrolling back and forth to see if we'd missed anything!! How have y'all done this for so long?!
If you are wanting more Arcane, they have a "Bridging the Rift" series where they go into the backstory behind the production of Arcane. It's actually a really great behind-the-scenes series (5 eps long). You really get to feel their nervousness about going and doing something in Animation that has never been done before. You should check it out and react to it.
We're currently working in Bridging the Rift, the episodes should be out soon actually so stay tuned! 😀
@@OfficialMediaKnights Great to hear! I look forward to seeing it when it comes out! Thanks so much for the reactions so far!
fans to the ending: "Don't cry.. you're perfect...." good job with this series guys: epic react... see you @ season 2..
Oh my goodness, indeed. It truly was perfect. Thank you so much for your support, it means the world to us! See you at Season 2!
We watch reactions from all of you to survive..its been a long 2 years. I am praying season 2 is as good as season 1
Thankfully the wait will be over this year!
idk how the fuck you don't even have 10k yet with the insight and highlight quality. Subbed!!
Thank you for your support and kind words! Almost at 10K! We wouldn’t be here without you guys ❤️
This show had some of the best lines. My favorite is "In the desire to do great, we failed to do good." I read that it took five years to create this. I hope it doesn't take as long for a second season.
Oh my goodness, that line?! It's one of the best things I've heard. So many of the lines in the show will stick with me for years to come...
I think that last table scene has mutch more meaning then what ppl relalize when u start to look abit closer into it. Hopefully this wont look like an essey (no promises)
Jinx ask Vi to make Cait go away, big empasis on GO away. When they were kids and played Vi scared away the monsters when Powder got scared. Vi told Cait this when in Caits bed but Vi said she would make the monsters go away, so when Jinx ask her to make Cait go away she hands her a gun but she can force Cait away and out of there lives right there but Vi thinks she wants her to kill Cait.
When Jinx bring in the cupcake Vi thinks she has killed Cait and Jinx points out that "I´m not THAT crazy" Vi belives Powder is still in there but with every situation she already assumes that Jinx have done the worst possable thing in every situation.
Maybe its a little stretch but i strongly belive that Powder/Jinx was testing Vi during that entire table scene to se if Vi could ever accept this new person Powder hade become becouse lets face reality she would never turn back into sweet little Powder again after all she has done even if Vi could convise her to walk away. But in the end Jinx realizes that Vi would never be able to accept this new personality and what really sealed it was Vi´s inability to understand the constant trauma that Jinx experiances becouse of her choices when she was younger.
To explain this abit futher, Whenever Jinx thinks or gets reminded about the past and her family she dosent se there happy faces, instead she sees haunting visions and nightmares. This is shown almost all the time but perfectly shown when before Jinx shoots Silco, Vi is shouting at Jinx to remember Milo, Clagger, Vander and herself to try and bring out young Powder. But all Jinx sees are haunting visions and monsters. U can ever hear Jinx begging for it to stop by saying "stop, please stop" and her body language shows that she is terrified. Vi dosent realize what this does to Jinx, however Silco definatly does and at this point he goes absolutly berserk and tear himself lose resulting in Jinx instinctively reacting to the gun and shoots Silco without realizing it. Jinx last line seals it all. "I thought u could love me like u used to, but u changed to" Vi never realized the trauma Jinx is constantly suffering from and in the end she forced that trauma onto Jinx and as Silco tried to protect her by shouting "dont listen to her" Jinx killed her 2nd father figuer and the only 1 that trully understood what she was going through.
That ending song was by Sting
Loved your reaction to this series. You should do a short reaction to the season 2 trailer they released.
Thank you for watching! We will definitely be checking out all the extra content related to Arcane in any way, shape or form haha we loved this too much to leave anything out.
He really did love her.
I adore this show so much.
I have a bigass canvas print of Jinx when the is sitting in her chair in me ManCave.
Never played LoL.
And IMO marcus caused at least as much problems as Silco. At least Silco was striving for independence.
Oh duude that is so cool, definitely makes your man cave even more badass haha. Uh yeah, Marcus made some wrong choices, and his was purely based on surviving his alliance with Silco... Just a tough situation all around.
@@OfficialMediaKnights as a father of two daughters. I wouldn’t allow myself to make the decisions he chose to make.
And I have made a lot of poor decisions in life.
Bring drugs to piltover (shipments that Cait stopped) and coruption to the undercity (counsel where silco could poision them)
02:00 , I kinda liked Silco aswell ;)
With that glimpse of Warwick, notice the body build. Earlier Silco even asked Singed how his experiment was going with their "old friend", so introducing Vander as Warwick.
Right... Honestly, so not emotionally ready for that to happen. Imagine when WW finally encounters Jinx or Vi... If there is any of Vander left inside...
@@OfficialMediaKnights Honestly, I fell like it will be Vi that WW will run into, not so much Jinx. I think it'll be a huge emotional arc for her to recognize WW and try to reach out to his humanity knowing that to fail Vander would hurt even worse than failing Powder already did.
Silco is my favorite villain
Also I just noticed that sevika has no lighter at the end when she wants to light up that cigar. (Symbolizing silco's death)
Oofff yeah, that little symbolism hurts deep...
Warwick was made from a violent man who changed and tried to be a "Good Man". Translate Vander from Greek to English.
Whooaaa nice!! So many hints early on!
Great reaction series, also you really edited it down with the most pinnacle moments where so many have left in the least impactful and left out the best of the show. Really good editing with the restrictions of a YT reaction. Well done, standing by with you for season 2. Now go watch Bridging The Rift, the short making of series on Riot's (or LoL's?) YT channel.
As a person with 14+ years experience in the animation industry, it is a fantastic insight into the work involved for a series like this.
Oh my goodness, this comment!! Thank you so so much, you have no idea how much it means to us that you enjoyed our editing style and the reactions! We're so happy and honored to have you with us!! We're also currently working on Bridging the Rift, the first episode should be out soon!
