where is the 9TH episode ?
Zaun is the german word for fence.
5:22 sister Jinx ❤💙💜💞💙💜
Vi’s relative lack of reaction when Jayce accidentally kills the kid says so much. She isn’t shocked. Kids die all the time down in Zaun, so what’s one more? Conversely, Jayce is totally horrified cause he never knew how bad things were down there from up in Piltover.
If you rewatch the last scene you'll notice that jinx is actually behind Caitlyn in the right corner of the room....with glowing purple eyes
OH MY GOD I NEVER SAW THAT WTF
Most reactions channels notice that detail
I’m surprised they didn’t notice it, but I was looking for it and in their showing in the corner they didn’t put that part, so they probably didn’t notice it
Dude I never noticed that before😶
How tf didn't I notice it
Mama-Darda: "Weapons can't be unmade and they are always used!"
Me in real life: profusely sweating...
no one likes talking about nukes, but it's always in the back of our heads these days....
i mean, the first thing we did with nukes was use them
Theres some really great lines in this show. Two of my favorites being that, and the one Viktor says to Jayce next episode about great and good.
@@P99s-s multiple times. Several times just to see what happens.
I also disagree with the boys here regarding the "simply destroy the research" that would only work if you also kill all people who worked on the project because even without their research papers I am sure they would be capable of recreating it again so in dire times they might be put under pressure by themselves and others to rebuild the technology. So unless you kill Viktor and Jayce together with their research and their creations the weapon is not unmade.
3:02 I love how the blood-covered collar becomes an abstract painting in Mel's room. Such a nice and simple way to tell us that this event has deeply affected her
It's crazy that she would paint such a traumatic moment
@@mathies3598 Many people use art to cope with trauma, but I think maybe there's also something else here: Mel painted this to remind herself that she can't trust her mom. To not look back on her past life.
Silco is, in my opinion, one of the best written villains I've ever come across. Such a complex character.....and I can't wait for next week's reaction, because it's so gonna come out of left field for them
Is he really that complex? I think Jinx is the complex villain. Silco is pretty simple with just a bit of twist. Silco is kinda like Thanos. He's a good villain yeah but nothing really new.
@@rustygear447 you can write complex characters that build on past tropes. Arcane does this frequently. Silco is similar to Thanos but not exactly, because Silco actually chooses to sacrifice his dream for Jinx. And it makes a lot of sense when you look back and see how close they are. Thanos didn’t have that kind of relationship with anyone in the end. He prioritized his ideals above everything else up until his final moments. Silco would’ve likely gone down that path too, if it weren’t for Jinx. The scene where he finally comes to understand Vander is huge, because that’s the point where he deviated from his “the ends justify the means” mentality.
@@rustygear447 Yes, he is.
I don't care, Singed the best.
@@beyondviolet Also people see Silco as a villain so they assume there must be some abuse going on but there really doesn't seem to be any indication of that. By all accounts he was genuinely kind and nurturing to Jinx. Even if he gave Jinx a warpped view of things I don't think he was being dishonest, whenever he emphasizes that everyone else betrays them, he's not lying at least not intentionally, I think he believes that himself too. I think comparing him to Thanos who was objectively abusive to his daughters even if he sees it as love does a huge disservice to Silco.
I appreciate how easily they noticed that Silco really did care for Jinx in his own twisted way. He’s a crime lord and revolutionary who operates and rules through fear, him showing weakness by worrying over a nearly dead and unconscious Jinx has no benefit to him. He’s not even manipulating a ‘weapon’ here, his actions here only showed weakness.
I fully agree. He arrived at that bridge with two strong subordinates. Despite that, he carried Jinx himself, even though he is comparatively frail and had other duties he probably should have been attending to, as shown when the Chem Baron was trying to manipulate Sevika. He arrived at Singed's laboratory alone and out of breath, and we know he had no backup as Singed was able to knock him out without anyone stopping him or enacting retribution.
Not even in a twisted way, he cares for as a father does. Even before all the weapon stuff, he still has little knickknacks on his desk that Jinx made. He wouldn't keep small things like that if he was only using her for material gain. He genuinely does care for her.
Did you catch the boat behind him while Victor was running? And the call back to when he was a kid trying to catch up with his toy boat? :">
I was in tears during that scene :C
:c :v :) :( :v :d :D D: d:
Such a simple but beautifully crafted scene. One of personal top 5 moments in the entire show.
I did notice tht. THIS SHOW IS INCREDIBLY AMAZING, SHOWS THE TINIEST DETAILS AND CALLBACKS
:((
12:18 Caitlyn and Vi: the only couple to break up before they even get together
Yeah. "What about us?" What about you? You were together on a vigilante chase and shared a room for a night. Nothing was there yet sweetheart XD
jayce wasn't attacking children he just happened to hit a child whilst he was fighting the shimmer enhanced soldiers. also I wouldn't call the look on his face "vindication" more "adrenaline fueled rage" honestly I don't think jayce was thinking about anything during the fight he was just focused on trying not to die.
I agree. Jayce's inexperience parallels Jinx's mental instability in the ep 4 shimmer heist. They both lose control over themselves in a tense situation, resulting in unintended collateral damage.
i agree with u.
basically his rage blinded him for a sec, which led him to kill a child
They arent kids workers either, Jayce just views them as children. He just rather imagine them as children because probably the childhoods he ruined. Those aren't children working there, except the one Jayce shot. You see at 16:40 that they are actually all adults
@@WhiteSharks-wz6kn plus they probably need to work otherwise they would starve
he does look almost maniac though while shooting. He completely lost himself in the moment and in his power
Viktor going on a light jog is unironically one of the best moments of cinema
This year's Viktor running and Viscerys walking are both some of the greatest moments of achievement and triumph
it wasnt explained well at all but skye saved viktors life, becoming his literal right hand in the process.
Hold up, WHAT!?
@@PsychoDiesel48 the hexcore drains lifeforce after doing a transformation, demonstrated on the plants. in viktors first transformation, shimmer was used as the lifeforce, and in the second, it was skye.
One of the coolest attention to detail moments of the whole show to me is the eyes as Vi and Jayce prepare to fight, Vi is calm, prepared, and full of resolve, which makes sense as she is a seasoned fighter, meanwhile Jayce is nervous, unsure of himself, which all turns to rage. Its little details like that which put this show on another level to me
The scene with Vicktor running is so impactful in a series full of powerful moments. Also, the irony of Skye being sacrificed to transform into Viktors right hand is poetic indeed
I fucking bawled at that scene
Viktor's running scene is even better when you oppose it to when he was young. Back then, he built a small boat and could barely keep up with it as it went along the stream. Now, he can finally run and in the background, there are ships. Not only can he keep up with them, he also goes faster than them.
39:57 "He could LITERALLY sweep it under the rug." 😂 🤣 NO YOU DIDN'T
About the weapons discussion, one important part that should be remembered is that Jinx stole more than just the hextech crystal. She also took their research notes. The council and Jayce already believe that hextech can be reverse engineered with the stolen knowledge. And in episode 5 we are shown that Jinx has indeed successfully reverse engineered the technology on her own and Silo wants her to weaponize it.
Jayce, Viktor, and Piltover no longer have any control over whether or not hextech weapons exist. The only control they have is the supply of crystals and who's to say if that can last? They can barely keep a lid on things as it is.
They can make the right choice, destroy what research they have, and still loose.
Instead they should embrace it!
Imagine a soldier combining body transformation with the hexcore juiced up by shimmer and then encased in a hextech power-armour armed with hextech weapons... And all of that mass produced with droves of recruits who want to improve their life through conquest backed up by the greedy elites who would gladly invest into the war effort. The rest of Runeterra doesn't stand a chance.
@@DzinkyDzink glorious evolution!
@@DzinkyDzink and that is how you get an overpower militarized dystopian state sir.
@@VendettaProduction01 Service guarantees citizenship!
@@mathies3598 The glorious evolution isn't about war, it's about improving lives through technology and over-coming the struggles of flesh.
Both Silco and Vi want the same thing for Powder/Jinx. Both know they aren’t respected by the topsiders, both saw her potential, and both are willing to fight to give her a better future. So different as people, and yet the same. Brutal.
Mama-darda always reminds me of that scene in Batman where Bane puts his hand on the businessman's neck and asks him if he feels in charge.
She never does anything overtly violent during her trip, but you get the feeling that if anyone makes one wrong move she'll break their neck without a second thought.
- - SPOILERS - -
I think she does display power, but both in this and the next episode you notice that she's actually hiding in a place where she thinks her enemies cannot reach her. She's a powerful woman from a powerful house, but as she says, her family crossed the wrong man, one with greater power and more resources than them. She's terrified and has come to piltover in search of the advantage that may help secure her house's survival.
writing a complete, fulfulling character whose storyline is just kind of on the side, doing his own thing with limited screen time is damn near impossible, but arcane did it with viktor. they set up his motivation, his theme, the paralellism so well that everything culminates in a burst of 40 perfect seconds, without a fricking single line of dialogue.
That Viktor/Skye scene gave me some serious FMA vibes.
It is ironic that Vi was essentially advocating for all out war against the undercity. She is so fixated on defeating Silco, that she doesn't focus on the collateral damage. She is advocating for the type of action that made her hate the enforcers and topsiders in the first place.
Silco's 'be willing to sacrifice everything' leadership style is caming back to bite him, now that he has both Jinx, and his vision of Zaun.
Oil and Water.
Thats what Vi said, because shes hurt and feels embarrassed for having hope and essentially being vulnerable, so she pushes away Cait first thinking itll protect herself from being hurt even if it sacrifices the idea of "them" from even getting off the ground. So then we see Cait replaying that moment again in her mind, the shower acting like the rain, and obsessing over this impossible problem like when she was doing her conspiracy map. Shes there trying to think of what she could have said and done different to keep Vi around, and when she gets to the part where Vi tells her to forget her, Caits chewing her lip in frustration and does a small subtle "no" headshake as if shes saying "No, I wont just go and forget about you". Mean while, most importantly, we see her bleeding again and her blood is mixing really well with the water, which wouldnt be the case if she really was Oil to Vis Water.
It was so sad that is soon as sky was about to open up and admit her love for Victor she's forced into a situation where she has to die for him
The Boys: Oh Silco’s death is gonna be really satisfying.
Everyone who watched episode 9: Wanna Bet?
Why is such a spoiler so highly upvoted?
@@TheGrouch91 they do not read comments
@@TheGrouch91 also they are a week ahead
Jinx left before Silco woke up. She is acting entirely on her own say so.
This episode introduced me to Jayce being a legend…and then smacked me with reality this man killed a child while basically on an adrenaline rush
Yeah his face looked too much like Jinx' in the moment.
@@DzinkyDzink I mean, he’s says it himself. If Zuan and Piltover went to war, Zuan wouldn’t stand a chance.
@@santino7470 Nah, the rat will just come out of invis and ult the whole hero squad with Runaan's.
@@DzinkyDzink i think you mean nashors deathcap crown.
@@mathies3598 AP Twitch is the way
Viktor running is my favourite scene of Arcane by far
I know this is kinda random but I really like Caitlyn's design. I don't think I've seen that much detail in a character where I can actually tell that they're biracial, like you can tell shes half white and half asian.
Oh you didn't catch that a shadowy Jinx appears in the right side in the last scene, literally with Caitlyn, after the vapor dissipates!
Edit: I've also missed in my first watch, it's subtle but it's there
I wanted to ask .. i always check their eyes and it didnt seem they saw her :)
@@carbuneskinny5797 They didn't see her.
Minor Spoilers for the world of Runeterra (the Arcane World)
Its kinda funny how the bros think Piltover and Zaun are basically one of the biggest players, when in reality they are just kinda often sitting there, too obsessed with progress and money to recognise or care about other things that gets hurt. Noxus have way more power than piltover id say, they just have so many fronts and opiltover is a tough egg to crack (although we don't know where Swain is or if the Trifarix is even formed yet). As Finn said, "there are bigger fish than Silco" Piltover is a powerhouse in technology and money, but they are too self centered. Im not even sure they have a military to really help defend themself in a greater regard. Piltover is a trading port, the largest trading port, but they are not a big enough player to survive all out war
Not that the bros could know this, still kinda entertaining.
A little fact, the hextech hexcore on Arcane have 4 runes, valor, Magic, domination and precition, on the Game exist 5 runes the last one is Inspiration, Sky is all about Inspiration and the hexcore change when she is consumed and complete the 5 runes... I don't know if is oficial but it's a good easter egg for fans...
LMAO they didnt notice Jinx actually standing in Caitlyn's bathroom in the last couple seconds of the episode.
Yep they didnt :)
Jacob do look preemptively wrecked.
Im not sure he is going to survive
He won't. It's over for him
It does make things both better and worse to realize that the kids working in the shimmer factories probably work there of their own free will. This is not slave labour, they probably buy in Silco's propaganda and believe they are fighting for a cause. Shouldn't they be at school instead? Well, that's the thing: what if there aren't any school in the undercity?
Symbolically, this is just so powerful: the kid is the one who raises the alarm and calls for the shimmer guards: his anger and hatred towards the enforcers call for the use of violence. And he is also the first casualty (the shot transition from the shimmer guard to him: the superposition makes the terrified shimmer guard become him...!). Basically you have this motif: kid -> shimmer soldier -> kid. Each shimmer soldier was a kid of the undercity once; every violence these soldiers commit come from those kids' fury and feelings of injustice. Every violence retaliated against those soldiers falls down on those children, who pay for the violence and neglect of Piltover towards them. When Jayce looks up and sees all those other kids, he sees those his city failed, those he will have to fight. He sees the victims.
It probably doesnt even have to do with propaganda considering its the undercity there are probably alot of orphans that actually need jobs to survive and not resort to stealing or kids that need jobs to support their family.
The shimmer-mech-soldier guys weren't children. Jayce just accidentally shot the kid that activated the alarm.
Yeah but they *are* using children for a ton of things
I made the same mistake when I saw this episode, either the editing is just a little ambiguous or we're all just dumb lol
@@TheMaitoPulla from my perspective, them working here in these factories are probably safer than the norm of living in the under city, seeing as one of the Chem barons we're willing to let her child work there, they probably thought no one would attack them
@@BelowAverageBeing I guess thats a fair argument to make
Those are called Turbo Chemtanks
I don't think Jayce was 'getting into this'. There was probably some catharsis, but I think it's more that he was fighting for his life for the first time ever. Red mist is not enjoying things, necessarily.
Looking very European Bond villain with the turtle neck, I dig it.
44:40 the monster she created huh
Oh what could have been
Also I don‘t think you guys discussed the „visions“ Jinx had when she got treated by Singed.
Vi stands behind Powder holding childhood toy, gets shot in the head by Vi and then replaced by Cait holding the childhood toy. They then go on torturing her.
I know its very on the nose, but I think the replacement fear of Jinx is especially well highlighted here.
I find it ironic that Vi is shooting Powder with Jinx's own gun. There's got to be some symbolism there, either by the writers as a nod to the viewers, or even by Jinx's own subconscious knowing that she's a bit at fault for the divide between her sister.
@@lockekappa500
Probably not.
@@lockekappa500
Technically it's alot more on Vi side.
Lol yes she killed your fam.
Her fam too.
But ya left her alone in a danger zone.
Now who is more at fault.
The little girl or the leader?
I mean they treated you like one.
You failed to act like one.
@@lolicongang.4974 Nothing is done unintentionally in this show. Nothing.
@@lolicongang.4974 Im also not talking about the reality of the situation, or who's to blame, simply what IN JINX'S HEAD, she feels is the truth. Or could have guilt about.
FYI, the music during Jayce and Vi fight was a collab between PARIS and Miyavi.
Miyavi is the voice actor for Finn, and he's a brilliant actor, guitarist, voice actor, producer and all that XD
Gotta love how it's the penultimate episode and they still suspect nothing, can't wait for the finale!
These reactions to arcane were SO fun I was looking forward to each week.
See you next week!! Cant wait
I think the parkour scene in ep. 5 was supposed to be VI letting loose from her new found freedom. So a parallel to Viktor's running scene.
also without doubt the first time he has ever run in his entire life
Also the scene where Viktor is trying to ruin his hextech creation is a parallel to Powder trying to destroy her creation, monkey bomb . They both couldn't do it, and their creations basically killed them later, making them what they are now, new versions of them. Viktor will be basically an iron man because of hextech and Powder will become Jinx because of monkey bomb.
19:04 I've never seen Caleb so disappointed hahaha. Even the way he said that sounds like disappointment beyond imagination
The Jayce/Vi team up fight was my absolute favorite in the season. As a RWBY fan I loved the Rule of Cool action that was used, and their moves even relate to their skill sets from the MOBA. Overall it actually felt like a video game fight: fun, energetic, loud, a great time…..
…..until Jayce shot a smol boi, then snap back to reality and be reminded of how human and real these characters are.
Well that and it snaps Jayce out of his naive view of seeing anyone from the undercity as "The Enemy".
I literally JUST found this channel and binged all of the Arcane reactions, lo and behold my surprise when one is released six minutes ago. Can't wait for this one
They are my favorite reactors ever
You may consider watching other reactions from them.
They are mainy into anime but, they also have a gaming channel.
I seriously didn’t find any other good and honest reactors aside of them.
I would appreciate it if you pointed me to other good reaction channel.
it's a good channel
Just like when Viktor tried to run as a child, there is a boat in the scene. This time he was able to keep up.
vi: *dramatically* "just forget me"
me: HA NO SHE WONT
The action scene with vi and Jayce was so goooooood not just in the scene itself, but also how it hypes you (the viewer) up to the same point Jayce is in and then abruptly shatters that moment with the kid, we cant really blame jayce because we were hyped too 2sec ago, but it still sucks
the final episode is gonna blow their minds, so excited!!!
So much references to the game in thus episode. The goons they are fighting are wearing Chemtank which is an item in the game. It boosts movement speed and deal extra damage. Jayce used pretty much all his abilities in the game. Vi used her Q to start the fight like in game and finish off with W and E but haven't seen her ultimate yet. Really cool to see it all animated.
there is actually a brief moment where you can hear the sound of her ultimate charge, if I remember correctly
Still find it crazy how that kid wasn’t greasepaint when they hit the floor
ya'll gonna die watching episode 9. that being said it's the best animated show I've ever seen but is definitely the best thing in general that's come out in quite some time.
Jayce: why is it so dusty here?
Man, their takes are really fun to think about on seeing their rational sides and character takes but man are they on for a ride is all I'm gonna say. Arcane really pushed the envelope for great character progression and weren't afraid to let the audience feel what they're about to feel on the last episodes. Good stuff bros
Edit: Props to the bros to probably be one of the only reactors out there that read the CaitVi dynamic right!
I've seen more reactors get the Caitvi relationship right. I mean, it's really obvious. You have to be ignorant or homophobic not to see it tbh.
39:58 „He could literally sweep it under the rug!“
…C‘mon bro… Not cool man…
xD
But hilarious
Well... He kinda did...
Caleb : "Victor assistant just got ashed!"
My mind : "Hmm.. Gotta catch 'em all"
The council would never give back Zaun to its people. The very thought would be alien to them. The council is not a group of democratic elected representatives. They are a oligarchy. They represent the richest and most influential Houses in Piltover. Thats why they only think of Silco. He is, while being looked down upon, the closest thing that Zaun has as a mighty House and ruler. He is someone who they can understand.
Piltover might be a city of Progress. But they haven't progressed to things like democratic representation, rule of law or independent judiciary. They doesn't even have a police force. They have Enforcers. There to enforce the will of the council. The will is the law. Only things that threatens the city is even brought up to the council. Like Jayce. But without any legal representation.
Marcus put Vi Into Stillwater, without being accused or get a chance to defend herself in a court. She was just put there.
In many ways the world of Arcane resembles the European world during the end of the 19th century.
"And they have the crystal, right?" Hehe... That aged well.
Good to see Viktor on his way to the G L O R I O U S E V E L U T I O N
about vi only telling caitlyn of her memory of long time ago, i see it more like this: vi and caitlyn only just met like yesterday. so for vi to trauma dump on who's basically a stranger would just be weird imo. it also correlates to your commentary about vi having too much on her plate right now to make room for another form of relationship. she may have feelings for caitlyn, but she's not there enough to open up to caitlyn about everything, especially what happened in episode 3, if that makes sense.
also i'm surprised caleb and jacob didn't catch the paralel between the two "viktor and the boat" scenes. but anyway, viktor running is just too beautiful it brought tears to my eyes
Look to the right as the last scene ends.
I recommend watching that last scene again and paying attention to the left-hand side of the screen. Its not a warning for some future attack
My brother tried to get me to play League of Legends for over a decade. But I could never get used to moving by clicking instead of using WASD. It just felt wrong to me so I always avoided games with that control scheme. I still gave it a shot every few years though and after ten years my account was at lvl 16.
Then Arcane happened and... I still didn't feel like playing that shitty game. But it was because of Arcane that I decided to watch a LoL stream and THAT got me to try it yet again. And now I'm finally addicted, rushing to get to lvl 30 so I can queue ranked and destroy the last shred of my sanity.
Same.
Bruh... I feel for your soul. RIP.
I’m so sorry. You have my deepest sympathy
Remeber to always Yasuo and you'll be fine.
You have stared into the abyss for too long my friend, i wish you luck.
My god, you dropped a line in your breakdown that I hope you remember going in to the end of the final episode - when Vi is talking to Cait on her bed about the monsters... I can't believe how on point that comment was. I'm pretty sure you guys have finished the series by the time this come out.
nice reaction- especially loved your discussion on the story telling on the bed scene. Not too many reactors touch upon that. I am very excited for your reaction/discussion on the final episode! Let's honor the sweet cupcake ^^
Caitlyn's mom reminds me of the Fairy Godmother from Shrek
Please please please do a surprise reaction to the final episode early. It's a fantastic finale.
Jacob looking you're clean as hell in the turtleneck man!
What I find extremely fun is that Singed is just straight up competent. He's morally so deep in the red that the entire kingdom of Demacia is jealous but he's managed to come up with a safe, sacrificeless way to use the Hexcore, and the only thing that dooms Sky is Viktor's impatience. In addition, he also is absolutely matter of fact with "sometimes death is a mercy", he knows he can save Jinx' life but also is fully aware that the process doesn't allow for anaesthetics and therefore will be tortorously painful to boot.
Genuinely, if he wasn't exiled by Heimerdinger for being a complete psychopath he'd probably be Piltover's leading medical expert.
I’m surprised they missed how Jinx was in the bathroom with Caitlin in that last scene.
I keep seeing that chair in the throne room as Akira's Throne in the Otomo's manga. Mama Medarda is scary. No bad episodes in this series. Vi getting the gauntlets, YES PLEASE.
the whole "we don't negotiate with terrorists/crime lords" topic is so well shown in the show in my opinion. Showing that both approaches (negotiating or not) have their downsides like in this case nothing would probably change for the citizens in Zhaun at least not quickly in terms of prosperity if you negotiate with Silco. On the other hand not doing it or actively going to war with the crime lord brings casulties to many people and escalates a dire situation even more. Such a lose-lose situation.
Loving the mighty nine shirt, you all should do the legend of vox machina when it releases!
(Fyi not an ep 9 spoiler) I like how the story kinda went full circle with how the series started out with vi and her crew robbing jayce, to now working together with him
I‘m so excited for episode 9 reaction, a fantastic finale
AHHHHH, it's a good day when sos reacts to arcane
Saw a theory online (which someone said one of the show’s writers posted then deleted it but I’m not sure) that the man with Mel’s mom is actually the girl’s brother - the one whose head was cut off by the mom, and he may be after Mel’s mom for revenge. They do have really similar features (cheekbones, eyes color, hair color…). The show has a lot of before hints for later scenes in this season, so maybe his appearance can be more important.
Yeah when I first saw the mom's full character design I had a bi panic moment.
Also love how Mel sways a bit when she first sees her mom almost like she got knocked back into the present after reliving all her trauma shit lol.
Love how Viktor finally runs past the boats.
you can un-make a weapon but you cannot un-invent a technolgy and a hex-tech gemstone is already in enemy hands. Jayce has seen how good jinx's creations are he saw it with the grenade marcus gave him and with the explosive firelights on the bridge. He probably believes that she will be able to make a powerful weapon from it which is why he needs powerful weapons of his own. so in this context I don't think it really matters whether weapons can be un-made or not because Jinx has a gemstone and so making sure that she doesn't get the chance to use it should be Jayce's priority.
At some point I’d highly suggest you guys react to serial experiments lain, an anime I think you’d like a lot!
Taking the final scene with Jayce and the kid completely the wrong way. The point of that scene was to show Jayce foolhardiness and going in guns blazing believing that was the right recourse and killing a kid, to which tons of other kids of the Undercity now see him for what he is, someone who they WILL NEVER FOLLOW.
Extra point: Silco is an asshole and using child labor yes, but to believe he forced every single one of them to be there, or the kids don't have a parent that is for one reason or another allowing it so they can push to free the Undercity from Piltover's control, is a little much. They are stuck in a no win situation unless they resort to war and pull out all the stops or use whatever advantage they can utilize, regardless of how terrible it might be.
Most of those kids are probably orphans that need money to survive or they are working to support their family. Him allowing child labor may actually be saving lifes in a way.
Mama-D.
At the end of the episode you can see Jinx in the corner.
What a fight.
Yo nice hoodie
Hi! New to the channel and I LOVE you guys, but I couldn't help noticing that Mighty Nein shirt! Happy to find a fellow critter out in the wild! Will you be doing reactions to the animated show when it comes out? (I think it's next week, right?)
I hold out hope for a reunion episode where it’s no longer a case of oil and water, but of a beautiful emulsion.
Man, I can’t believe we’re already at the end. One more episode and then it’ll be at least another year or so before we get any new info on season 2 if I had to guess.
So dramatic! Having a break up in the rain when you haven’t even started dating yet! Girls, slow your roll. And in Vi’s attempt to sever connection and keep Cait out of her family mess, she left Cait by herself and thus vulnerable to Jinx’s ambush. Not that she could have known, but still… whew boy.
I wasn’t sure what to make of Mel throughout the season but this episode finally gave me the context I needed.
22:51 hahaha if only, if only that world was this small to be featured in only one season
Great to see a d&d fan :)
19:33 they're not soldiers they just work there lol
They arent kids either, Jayce just views them as children. When they enter the facility for the first seconds, they are all adults. He just rather imagine them as children because probably the childhoods he ruined. Those aren't children working there, except the one Jayce shot
@@WhiteSharks-wz6kn no that IS a child he was shown at the start of the attack and in episode 9 they reveal his mom
I know this is a bit late, but when Vi said that a real monster showed up and she ran away, I believe she was talking about herself, not Silco.
