Who do you relate most to, Jinx, Vi or Caitlyn?
Jinx
vi with her anger
Relate to... hmmm.
Identify with: Caitlyn. Analytical., honest, introspective, caring.
Care about: Powder
Love watching: Jinx
With Vi in second place for each category, which maybe puts her in first place overall.
caitlyn to be honest.
I love Jinx the most, she is my fav character of the whole series. Caitlyn is who I would want to be friends with. But I honestly don't relate all that much to any of them, I suppose Vi would be the closest. But the character I most relate to is Vander.
20:00 that song is from 2013 when Riot Games introduced Jinx into League of Legends. Its called "Get Jinxed" and has 119 million views on youtube. It was the first time Riot was working witch Fortiche, a French Animation studio who at the time was 5 people and they made a music video for the song. Fortiche is the animation studio who is behind Arcane and is now 300 people big, all thanks to this show.
Edit: Its worth doing a reaction to "Get Jinxed"
"When has Marcus ever done anything right?"
I'd argue he did something right when he kidnapped Vi at the end of Episode 3. Because he's right -- Silco would've killed Vi if he'd seen her, that was his intention when asking Powder "Where's your sister?". And Powder would've likely died as well. So there's that.
Doesn't make him a good guy though. Or likeable. But he's good for something, at least.
I love your reaction to Arcane. It is so great to see someone else exited for a show I love 😛. This animated series is one of the best I have ever seen. 🙂
Ella Purnell is the VA for Jinx. Ella also won an "Annie" award for her work in Arcane.
Since you asked, Progress Day is very much what the World's Fair from ye olde days was about. People from around the world bring and show things what their countries can offer or corporations can showcase new products. Yeah, you did read Viktor not wanting to be on stage because of his disablitly, but Jayce is pretty egotistical so he's fine with it. As many commenters have said as well Caitlyn is indeed capable, but Marcus shuts her down because he doesn't need people looking too deep. Jayce is trying to help her since her family pulled strings to get her out of the Enforcers. Next episode is gonna be awesome for you.
EDIT: One more thing about this world is that Piltover is totally an autocratic system of government. The ruling council is totally made up by the weathy and richest people. How well the city and the people do is purely based on products being produced and sold all over the world. The richer the families are, the more the city thrives... but yeah, not for everyone. The Hexgates also helps make Piltover a hub of commerce, with other countries using it as sort of a Panama Canal, thus making it even more weathly.
Seven seats makes sense actually. That way you can avoid a stalemate. Ruling bodys often try to have an uneven Number for that exact reason
I agree. That’s good thought
I think this is the epidose a lot of people say that Jayce is leaving victor behind. I disagree. I think this is the episode Jayce is dragged away from Victor.
I'd recommend not reading the episode descriptions. Let the story unfold on its own.
Can nobody see that the pink haired person, is not Vi, the face is glitzing several times... 95% only see VI...
But love your reactions😍
It’s definitely hard to tell
You have to notice that the face changes if you want to pick it up. Cause first we see jinx vision of vi and than what the girl really looks like
"Including those in the Undercity" Is maybe a strong wording. I am going to say that, while Jayce made it sound like it is for everyone, there was _no one_ from the undercity in that tent to hear the speech.
He also made the Atlas Gauntlet for the miners, so they can "Work harder and without fatigue" Now, that does sound good on the surface. Should benefit the workers, right? But if this technology gets used, my guess would be that it would just mean longer shifts for the workrs, since the work isn't s tiring and a higher workload expectancy. In the end, the one benefitting would probably the mine owner, not the worker.
To be clear, I don't think Jayce realizes that. To him, this _is_ for the workers. he just doesn't see the disparity and the ruthlessnes within the system
That's true
Guards at first were guarding the place where gemstone and research papers were. But Jinx set fire at a different place. Guards noticed it and left gemstone unguarded so they could deal with a fire.
You asked on your last video if people think Silco truly loves Jinx. ( my answer is a resounding yes ) Good evidence in this one, the first scene l they share, look at his desk, his coffee mug is decorated with a monkey clearly drawn by a little Powder, he also has a litttle monkey plushie...I believe throughout the series you see other little Powder drawings he's kept and decorated with....That's true dad life
You're really doing great . Please don't even think about getting every hidden detail in this show. ☝️No one does! Don"t read the comments and think " How could I miss this or that!". Many of your viewers will have watched the show and reactions to it dozens of times (for me it is clearly more than 50) and gathered a "knowledge" that is impossible to gain by one view! Make a connection to the story and the characters (I think you already did😉), enjoy the show and stay authentic! For me that's all it needs. No need to get into an observation competition. Don't see comments like "Haven't you noticed...? " as critic. Most of us probably just want you to experience the depth and complexity of this masterpiece in the best possible way and therefor give you as much informations as possible! I am happy to be part of your journey now. ❤️👍😃
Welcome to the club and the channel!!!
Yes, this.
Also please do yourself a favor and watch it at least twice. This is easily one of the best shows I've ever watched a second time. Knowing the characters by face and name up front sheds an amazing amount of new, interesting detail in their dialog!
@@danieldalton1757 I watched it six times in full length by now and it doesn't even lose a bit of its intensity. I actually would say it gains with every watch. Never had this kind of experience with a show. Outstanding!
A few comments:
The tent was guarded by seven enforcers, though as we saw they were lured away and most of them murdered.
Marcus has always listened, even in the early days, it was after all the Counsel that told him and Grayson to do anything within their power to find the kids, turn the Undercity upside down.
Jayce invited Viktor up on stage, I lie to think Viktor's not being in the limelight is more self imposed, not everyone thrives there, we saw he was stressing over running he might have to give the speech in Jayce's absence.
The poro was most frightened of Jayce due to nearly having rocks dropped on it, then being accidentally fired on by a laser, heh
Finally, there's an element to this show that will be hard for people, and has shown to be. This isn't Earth, and with that they don't have the same hangups as we do, or at least it hasn't been shown, there are fully women in power on all levels (Grayson, the Counsel), they weren't so much giving Caitlynn grief because she was female, but because she comes from an extremely rich background, but was slumming it with them, when she's clearly just trying to earn her own way, free of that background. This Concept of not having the same hangups will come up again.
i've watched many reactions to this show.. people see what they want to see..
How someone responds to Marcus has kind of turned into my barometer for how strongly a reacter is led by the writers' intent. The audience is very much encouraged to dislike Marcus when they show us his disdain for the zaunites, but we don't need to read too much between the lines to see what his intentions are and why he's doing the things he does.
He was willing to take Silco's information in the first act because he saw Greyson do the same with Vander. He arrests Vi because she's responsible for blowing up a building and stealing a bunch of unstable magic rocks... and also because she would indeed be dead if he hadn't. He doesn't like Caitlynn because she is (from his perspective) a spoiled socialite who constantly disobeys orders, and whose influential parents are forever demanding special accommodations to keep her safe.
Some reacters notice all of this pretty much immediately (I certainly didn't), but the vast majority of them just latch on to that first impression and continue to blame Marcus for everything -- even for certain actions he takes in the final act, where he arguably has less freedom of choice than any other character in the series.
I admit, my pet peeve with reactions to Arcane are people who blame Marcus for things which are 100% Silco's fault, and then go on to gush about how amazing Silco is. :v
@@sanctimoniouslocke3941 Marcus is mainly a "normal" human between superheros. In the beginning he is to pride for he little understanding of the world. And than later he's not evil, just not brave.
Spoilers:
He does make a lot of the same decisions as the heroic characters, but is just not lucky or brave enough to be a hero in this story. He disobeys the orders of his mentor when He storms the last drop, like vi in the opening or jayce in his hearing episode 2.
Also (hard spoilers) he gives up his 2 biggest character motives (his pride and his believe that you should enforce law hard and don't make deals with criminals) for his daughter. Just like Vander and Silco. Also he's the only one who prevented a crime in the whole show when he saves vi from getting killed by Silco in episode 3 and keep her hidden for years.
Powder just wants to be accepted by the people around her. She wants to be thought of as useful to the people around her. I wonder why.... (glares at Milo). 🤨
What Jinx is after is not chaos, but validation.
and perhaps, sometimes, oblivion.
My question is, validation from who? At least in this episode she doesn’t seem to care about what Silco wants her to do, and actively rebels against his wishes. She may crave validation and acceptance but she’s still prone to outbursts of strong emotion that mirror her psychological state
@@stellaa_rrose She wants validation from Silco. She does care what Silco thinks of her... as for rebelling against his wishes, well, she is a teenager after all. The hug scene with the crystal is the big giveaway there.
@@stellaa_rrose From Silco. "Today's screwup will set us back weeks. I need to know I can rely on you" (after the shootout with the firelights on the airship). He tells her to "take some time". She feels useless and unwanted and has a bomb laden rage session in her lair about it. Then she goes off to steal some hextech to prove that she is useful. She's calm when he's berating her about killing the enforcers because she knows having the hex crystal will prove her worth to him.
@@Hohum37 ooh, thanks, I hadn’t thought about that. By now it’s been several weeks since I’ve seen the episode. I think I’m already due for a rewatch of the series😂
Two nice catches -- one, that Silco seems to be showing a certain level of gentleness or understanding in his office scene towards Jinx. A lot of reactors seem to focus on their closeness (in a negative way) and sort of assume the worst there. And the river Styx comment as Caitlin approaches the Hold ... I had that same thought when I first viewed that scene.
The guards WERE protecting the incredibly valuable stuff, but then Jinx set a trap and lured them into it. While the guards were kinda dicks, they selflessly tried to save the helpless little girl from the burning building. Kinda heroic tbh.
Caitlyn isn't good at her job. She's an excellent detective and investigator, but her job is to be a COP. For all he's awful and contemptible, Marcus is correct in one thing: there's a chain of command for a reason. You don't WANT a bunch of renegade cops investigating whatever draws their attention. Caitlyn needs a new and better job... which she now has: unemployed heiress vigilante. She's basically a just-starting-out femme Batman.
Jinx doesn't just want chaos. She desperately wants to prove that she's useful to those she has designated her in-group... which right now is Silco, since he's been trying to take care of her and protect her. Nice catch on Silco trying to keep her safe and OUT of trouble... the whole topside raid is because she wants to prove herself, and explicitly against his wishes. He just isn't a big enough hypocrite to keep scolding her when she achieves a pretty spectacular success, given that he was only concerned about the dead Enforcers insofar as their deaths would make trouble... when she shows that she got something major out of it, he's dumbstruck, but he stops the scolding.
As for Jinx needing counseling... I'd agree in our world, but I see no indication that such a thing exists in Piltover or Zaun. Might as well say "she should eat the magical mental wellness cookies that resurrect your dead family twice a week and maybe stuff will improve"... if the resources don't even exist in the setting, it's kind of pointless :P
Not sure if it's in the lore or not, but I assume with the steampunk setting we would be looking at late 19th century views on mental health in this World. A lot of reactors comment on therapy, as if it's an actual option. Or they think Silco is at fault for not helping Jinx more with her issues. They are viewing the situation with modern day sensibilities.
The most likely mental health resources in this world would be something like the equivalent of Bedlam -- at best she would rot away there for the rest of her life, worst case would also include torture. Perhaps the rich of Piltover have better options, but for those in Zaun? Live in misery and quickly die is probably the standard Zaun version of therapy.
I think it’s just a product of us reacting in our own time. Those tings do exist in our word, so naturally you’ll just say stuff like that
@@whitenoiseanimereacts I agree, but it bears remarking upon, I feel. There are those who would fault Ellen Ripley for not taking out her laser cannon and frying the xenomorph, given that it's a sci-fi setting so obviously she must have one. Arcane does a lot of good work to show us what's available and what isn't, what they can do with magic and what they can't, which keeps the magic from making the whole story pointless, which deserves some respect... also, if it turns out the region has a competent therapist, Jinx actually isn't the first person I'd send to see them, though I think Silco probably would.
As far as what Powder/Jinx wants, it's what she has always wanted: to help. "I can help them." Now, she helps Silco. She just wants to be useful and loved.
The new gal is doing really well!
Yes, the voice actress is my countrywoman Katie Leung. In League of Legends, Caitlyn was Caucasian, but they changed her to Eurasian here to match her voice actress.
The fact that Jinx saw the girl as Violet tells us about her mental state. She's seeing things that aren't there, in her trauma.
And yes, Silco genuinely loves her as his daughter. He sees himself in her, as someone betrayed by a sibling they trusted.
I agree!!!
They are including those in the undercity who are "honest laborers" ....who know their place.
The guards that died in the fire/explosion were guarding the building with the gemstone. Jinx set the fire & bombs to lure them away from what they were guarding and distract them. Jinx was busy stealing the gem while the guards were fighting the fire. It was a rather intelligent thing to do, at least from someone that sees enforcers as the enemy to the point where their lives are forfeit... like Jinx.
Also neither Jinx nor Silco are evil. They're fighting a situation of massive oppression from topside. Jinx is only shown to kill 'enemy soldier' types - enforcers and firelights, both being factions that have taken up arms against Silco's revolutionary movement. You can argue that they didn't deserve to die sure, but it's a war-time / battle morality. Jinx has not been shown to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Bruh they're evil, but it doesn't make them any less complex.
@@bursky09 Well, why are they evil in your opinion?
Is there any level of justification for their actions in your opinion? Or excuses (such as being mentally ill)?
Do you view the enforcers and council as being evil, as well? Likely the council has indirectly (or directly) led to the death of hundreds or more in the undercity.
The little critter is hiding because in the previous scene at Jayce and Viktors lab, the little critter got nearly zapped by the lazer invention.
"Evil" isn't a useful concept in Arcane. I'd advise you to put it aside :P
Sure it is. Evil can have shades.
@@Hohum37 In my opinion, you can refer to somebody as “evil” for an action they commit, without condemning them to irredeemability. However, I understand that it is a loaded word, just makes it easier for me to communicate my anger towards a character.
@@Hohum37 Evil is purposeless, needless malice... no other definition has ever been remotely sensible to me. No major characters exhibit that in Arcane.
This is show where even the worst characters have a little good and even the best have a little bad. The show definitely operates in those shades of grey. So I wouldn't say Evil isn't a useful concept, just an oversimplification that lacks the nuance of this situation. Silco despite his faults is fighting for a cause. Jinx is battling mental illness and trauma, seeking love and approval in all the wrong ways. So I wouldn't call either of them evil. Hell, I can make arguments for them being good characters. Silco is a freedom fighter after all. However, I wouldn't get held up on the definitions of good and evil here. Stella was only expressing the extreme Jinx has gone to. Is it the most apt term? No. But good enough for an off the cuff reaction to Jinx's actions.
@@th3voice Well, that's one definition, among many; books and thesis by philosophers are full of them. One of Arcane's lessons is that there are tones, nuances, complexity. For me, there are shades of evil, confounding applications and interpretations of it. It's not just available in the deepest, bleakest black.
You'd be surprised at how little "guarding" a guard actually does. Having guards where crime isn't likely to happen is about the same as putting up fake surveillance cameras. They present the illusion of security and people believe it. But they are good for preventing spontaneous crime. Just not planned out crime.
Don't worry about missing the Vi lookalike. Most people miss it. She's meant to look a lot like Vi. The differences are subtle, because the wanted her to look close enough to Vi to trigger Jinx.
The little creature is a poro. The reason it hid from them was because they nearly shot it earlier in the lab by accident. Not because of any vibe.
The show doesn't really get into gender discrimination. Caitlyn not being taken seriously has more to do with her family connections/money and her mother being on the council. You even see another female enforcer making fun of her for it in the episode. "Shouldn't you be at a cocktail party?" There is also a scene at the beginning of the next episode that addresses this too. You sorta implied you were a week ahead of youtube, but I won't spoil it just in case.
Reactors get a pass on the Vi lookalike thing. It seems like most miss that. Although one key giveaway is that Vi appears as if she was still young Vi, with young Vi face and she's shorter than Powder. Still, most people don't catch that. As a positive she realized it was Powder/Jinx in the underbelly of the ship early on-- I get sort of frustrated when reactors miss that, or don't even realize it's Jinx after she monkey bombs them.
@@Mi_Z Actually for me, the bigger clue was the mannerisms. The lookalike is meek and scared. She runs away the moment she gets loose from Jinx's grip. I remember thinking its not quite her but wasn't sure, till I saw her trying to just meekly pull away. That was the 100% tell for me.
@@chuckmanion1128 Yep, that too. If that was Vi, she's probably say something or recognize Powder... she wouldn't just gaze in fear and try to pull away. Still, I can see how some reactors miss that, as it's kind of a shock to see Vi so soon. And I certainly have seen worse reactions from other reactors --
I recall one still thinking it's Vi even after Jinx mentions the pink haired girl, and after the lair scene -- all the way until the end of the episode. And there was another not even recognizing Vi in jail, wondering who this person with a "six' tattoo is.
@@Mi_Z Here's another reactor's reaction: I ran into people who thought Violet was wounded by Jinx's gun, then was healed and sent to stillwater prison. (So people who think that the person in the beginning scene and the end scene are the same person.
@@n0bleonline222 And I guess she hit the local prison tattoo parlor and had a growth spurt all in a single episode?
it can be hard to wear up to new people? haha u´re the only reason i´m on this channel ;D
People wont take Cait seriously, not because she´s a woman, but obviously because she´s from a rich family and may seem to some people as a spoiled brat.
love your reactions =) keep it up!
Well, welcome!! Then maybe it will be hard to get used to us lol
26:30
An additional detail I would like to add: punching a concrete wall with bare hands is not something a healthy person would do. The last thing she punched nonstop was a boxing machine. You compare.
To be fair the last thing she punched onscreen we powder xD
This good/evil -- heroes and villains thing -- doesn't apply so much to this show. Jinx is many things but I wouldn't consider her evil. Silco isn't even evil.
As for Jinx' motives this episode -- she wanted approval, as evidenced by the "I'll show him" scene in her lair, as well as the 'Get Jinxed' scene where she hugs Silco. It wasn't chaos for the sake of chaos (although she's certainly chaotic).
By the way, as for now not caring about murder... she was making nail bombs when she was like 10. Vander was training them all to be thieves (at the least). I don't think she (and her family) would have batted an eye killing enforcers even as children. Time just made her better at it.
While I agree with your first two points, I disagree with your last about Vander approving killing enforcers. He was more about de-escalating the tensions between Piltover & Zaun, hence why he & Greyson had their arrangement to keep the peace.
Also remember back in either episode 1 or 2, there was a scene with Vander & Vi where he had chastised her that violence was not the solution to her problems.
@@cluster_f1575 I probably should have been clearer, I didn't mean Vander wanted to kill enforcers (at least not past the opening scene). I meant the kids probably didn't have any qualms about killing them.
My point was that Powder as a child wasn't exactly an upright citizen, innocent of any crimes. So although she is certainly a more proficient murderer as an adult, and by working with Silco I am sure she got more practice at it, we need to wrap our heads around the fact she was making nail bombs as a little girl too.
@@cluster_f1575 Yeah I think the issue a lot of commenters have is they try and course correct the characters in this show and go overboard with the "there are no villains" and then proceed to conflate that someone like Vander would EVER encourage killing an enforcer, seemingly in some effort to put him on the same level of "evilness" as Jinx or Silco. Which is so far from the truth that I wonder how anyone could come to that conclusion. Not to say he doesnt have his faults, but he is ABSOLUTELY on the ligher side of the grey spectrum than someone like Silco.
@@lockekappa500 Umm.... I never said Vander would encourage killing an enforcer. Please read again. I probably should have been clearer, but I meant the children would likely have no qualms killing an enforcer.
@@Mi_Z Oh I was simply responding to Cluster, (in which he does state that) I didnt realize he misrepresented you, (or even if he was referring to you) My bad.
Don't worry, that Vi fake out confuses almost every reactor. I nearly missed it my first time watching. I wish they made it a touch more obvious in the moment that it wasn't Vi. Only because if by the end of the scene you think Vi is dead, you'd be a little distracted by that going into the next scene, wanting clarification, and also feeling a little underwhelmed at the sudden and abrupt reunion and apparent end of that relationship.
It kind of is made rather obvious, though, from the lack of a reaction from the pink-haired girl. I understand that they do use Vi's actual face for a moment to represent Jinx's trauma, but they equally show a face that shares no real resemblance to Vi other than the pink hair and seeing Jinx elicits no response at all but to try and pull away. There's no audible gasp, no longing look or even surprise on her face. I'm not shaming, per se, as they do show Vi's face in the first half and that usually catches people's attention to the point that they ignore the second half of that interaction, but I don't think the writers did an unfair job of thoroughly showing that it isn't Vi. Plus, for the build-up you see in the first 3 episodes, it simply doesn't make an ounce of sense that Vi would be killed that way.
EDIT: In all fairness, no one catches every detail of this show on a first viewing. Hell, not even on a second. :P
I can accept when a reactor mis-judges the girl at the beginning during that scene. It happens quickly, and I think it's inherent in the nature of reacting to see the initial appearance (the Jinx delusion) and to start discussing it, not allowing later indications that it's not Vi to sink in. What annoys me is when in later scenes, they confirm it wasn't Vi but the reactor hangs onto the thought that it still was, unable to reconsider, sometimes even arguing with the show itself. Our reactor here Stella avoided that and accepted that it wasn't Vi during the scene in Silco's office, so all is good.
@@demise0 Yep, I recall one reactor arguing with Jinx (during the lair scene) -- so after TWO confirmations it was just a pink haired girl -- that it was in fact her sister. I kept thinking.... ugh... really... come on now.
A couple other ways to know it wasn't actually Vi... even with the overlay of Vi's face, it was her face from 7 years ago. Everyone else is much older now, wouldn't Vi also be older? Also, the pink haired girl is about a foot shorter than Jinx is, and Jinx is not tall by any means. Anyway, I completely understand why viewers make the mistake but aside from a tatoo that says "NOT Vi" on her cheek I don't see how much more they could do. Again, this makes the re-watchability much better and most people will wonder how they didn't see that. There are many story beats that are a surprise when you first see them but later seem like we should have seen them coming.
Very much so. The pink-haired girl (almost sad that they never give her a name) looks to be about the same age as Jinx there, and is actually a bit smaller than Jinx.
Riot doesn't really create sexism in Runeterra. They are likely not taking her seriously because they see her as a spoiled rich kid playing policewoman.
And also not taking her job seriously. We see this when she is abandoning her post to investigate when it's clearly not her place to be.
Sorry but undercity have no counciling, therapist... That city is the poor city
Stella I am glad that you have overcome the trauma caused by episode 3, I broke many emotionally and the truth is that this would have been more family friendly, a separation like that would not have happened or it would be possible that Powder hit her head and lose her memory or that Vi does not see her and she believes that he abandoned her, but they give us an irreparable wound that marks both sisters and we see how Jinx carries the shadow of her brothers to the point of representing them with dolls but she does not have one of Vi so we assume that he either doesn't believe her dead or just still hates her, the time jump gave us a space to see how both Piltober and the Lower District grew under the influence of both the Hexghate and the Shimmer and that an opposing force to Silco challenges him sabotaging their shipments, the way Silco says "the others who?" He refers to the fact that no one can hold meetings behind his back and it seems that he is overporting Jinx which shows that he has feelings for her. Caitlyn will now be the one who takes the viewer and we can see that her career as an enforcer is overshadowed by her family's surname, while she seems to have a friendship with Jace although now they seem more distant, they don't see each other as a couple but as friends separated by their jobs , which took one to the top and the other forces her to go down, Victor on the other hand keeps a low profile and also an illness, while Jace is carried away by fame although he decided to be cautious as Hermeindigger told him , after the mess that Jinx made Mel Medarda makes his move and forces the council to give Jace more responsibilities, Caitlyn's path leads her to run into Vi and this gives us a Hype for the next episode.
Man I remember this episode. Jinx blowing up that building. I was sitting here like jinx nooo that’s terrorism.
You’re doing great you have such a clear lovely voice. Keep it up.
I know this is an old vid, but this series is the first of yours I'm seeing so: when you talk while the episode is playing you should pause it so you don't miss things. There were things I was interested to see your thoughts on (assuming you had anything to say about them) and I could see those moments play out on screen while you were talking to the camera
Please let people interpret things as they do. Stop telling "right" interpretations, especially for this show. Arcane written in a way for viewers to second guess characters decisions to reveal their intentions later. By telling what their intentions might be, you're ruining the whole purpose of the reaction.
Yeah, before a time jump have characters wanting something (to be a formidable fighter and gadgeteer who gets results, or for their hextech to be embraced by the city) and when we meet them after the time jump they've achieved it but are unsatisfied because that's not what they actually needed in order to be happy. It's a good way to feel like the time jump was neither a stasis in which nothing happened, or something we missed out on by not seeing it.
A: I love this show
B: I loathe marcus
Lmao!!! Yep!
Marcus doesn't listen and Jayce seems easily manipulated. Yeah, you can have one or the other. I mean it's not that black and white actually, but you can lean one way or another.
she’s so funny I love the reactor 🤣
I'm glad you're really enjoying the show.
Can't wait for the rest of the episodes
Why can’t reactors look at the screen and talk at the same time. Like…we don’t need you to look at the camera. You’re missing important stuff on the screen when you take your eyes off of it
I do hope you are pausing the video when you are commenting, especially when they run long. This show makes great use of "Show don't tell" and if you aren't looking you will miss a lot.
I know James and I have clarified this in other comments:
The way we do reactions at White Noise is somewhat different than some reactors. Because this videos go up on Patreon as “full length” reactions”, we avoid pausing the video. This means that our viewers can watch along with our reactions in real time.
-Stella
Yeah we make a point to pay a lot of attention, but we also want to allow people to be able to watch along with us in the full reactions!! We will keep in mind these notes though
@@whitenoiseanimereacts I get it, but Arcane is a different show to most. You don't need League knowledge, but you do need to pay attention to follow it. The show doesn't spoon-feed you, and there's very little downtime to reflect. From this point onwards, it comes at you *fast*, with only a handful of episodes and a very quick pace. It's easy to miss things when you're talking about what's just happened.
On the other hand, we're here for your *reaction*, so, yeah... it can be hard finding a balance.
@@Fionalah Yeah I mean that is just how we do it. But we are very careful to catch things
@@whitenoiseanimereacts You're doing fine, just keep it up!
This is so good! Also I love Jedidiah. I see what you’re doing 😂
Is Jedidiah a "Farmhand" reference, or is it something else?
@@brackto8176 I believe it’s a reference to Night At The Museum.
@@patrickdevon1425 Ahh, OK. Thanks.
I really wish they had made the firelight girl look much more different then Vi. So many people think it's her and get confused about that. I think it might even have been more effective, if she looked completely different and just had the same haircolor, thus showing that it doesn't take much to trigger Jinx
I think it's fine the way they did it. This show doesn't spoon fed you and that's why adults and people that like good storytelling and characters can get into this show so easily.
Sometimes I really want to hear what you think and you start but edit yourself out. Why do that :(
The rest of what you do is really great so it's sad.
Hiya!
I don’t edit these, but I generally feel that most of what I say stays in the video.
If it cuts off before I finish a sentence, it’s most likely because I trailed off while trying to focus on the show, and didn’t finish my thought!
I’m glad you want to hear my thoughts though😂
-Stella
@@stellaa_rrose Ah ok that makes sense. Anyway I'll keep watching :)
@@stellaa_rrose i feel you've done a really great job as someone new talking through their thoughts. so many reactors I see just try and hit small points but dont actually give any real thoughts. especially at the end of the episode so many just sign off I really love you breaking down her thoughts
Guessing stella really loves Heimerdinger's poro! They really need to make plushies of them for purchase
Yes!!!!
You go girl! Your reactions are on fire! This show is awesome!
The girl in the beginning isn't Vi btw
yes jayce is also thinking about the undercity
he want to help everyone but the council has the finale decision not him
Also i might argue that the reason why the show is good are the characters are grey so they feel so human so no one is really the bad character or the good character.

I know it doesn't sound like it, but Shoolas (The Lady with the neckgear) Argument is not even completely wrong. Note that, unlike the guy with th toy, she said "thousands woudl lose their income". Clearly, Piltover has prospered and new areas of work have opened up. Suddenly closing the Hexgate couöd actually lead to an unprecedented economic collapse, which is _not_ something you want. While it _does_ sound like most of the other Councillors are mainly in it for their own gain, her Argument isn't without weight.
The great thing about hextec, even if you're born without magical talent you can still use it.
"The Black Cauldron" is from Lloyd Alexander's "Chronicles of Prydain". I really liked those as a kid. They would be well worth a modern TV or movie adaptation. (Other than the old Disney one.)
lmao she really believed that the girl was Vi? Somehow Vi stayed small while Powder grew larger? Such a comedy.
That's sort of unfair -- I think 'Vi' showing up throws a lot of people off-guard. They don't expect to see her so soon, nor do they realize the full extent of Powder's mental issues as of yet. Now yes, the size thing is quite noticeable and one of big giveaways, but I give reactors a pass on this. Most get this wrong.
And to her credit, she followed through, commenting how she thought she wasn't dead (backpack) ... and then reacted when she in fact appeared dead.
A lot of reactors seem to cheat here. I noticed in a lot of reaction videos how the reactor states they think it's Vi, but make no comment afterwards about her apparent death, nor have any reaction to a major character seemingly dying. They just remain silent on the whole situation. And that makes me think they simply edited out that part so they didn't look dumb.
At least here she went with her real reaction.
Stuff sorta just happens sometimes man
Quick point about growing up with siblings:
My “baby” sister who is nearly five years younger than me me is almost half a foot taller than me, and is still a teenager.
That argument doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. The creative team behind the show definitely incorporated visual indicators that this character wasn’t actually Vi, but I think many first time viewers are taken aback by her sudden appearance, and as a result miss the signs that the writers meant for them to catch.
Hopefully you still enjoyed the reaction!
- Stella
Just my opinion: Don't second guess yourself too much about your reactions. I think what people respond to is authenticity, and you have that.
I’m trying!
Full disclosure I was SCARED people weren’t going to take well to someone new on the channel, especially because I’m new to this:)
Much thanks to this amazing community for being so welcoming!
- Stella
@@stellaa_rrose You're doing great! I like how you spend more time reflecting on the episode after the end than a lot of reactors.
@@brackto8176 agree stella's been awesome
Is "indulgence" the word you were looking for between Silco and Jinx? There's a later scene in which he chuckles at something she says that if literally anyone else had said it, he would have had then gruesomely killed, no doubt.
