i love how every attack Sevika does is base on the result of the tiny slot machine, totally a jinx-style weapon. She wouldn't make it any other way and I love it.
love how they didn't simply create a fun jinx-like weapon but also managed to make it make sense in the story because she created it in an arcade from the machines in the arcade
I’m not certain that Viktor is hallucinating seeing Sky. The ancient Egyptians believed that the Ka (soul, consciousness, spirit) and the Ha (the physical body) weren’t exclusive to each other. I think that while the Hex Core did in fact destroy Sky’s Ha it preserved her Ka and that’s what Viktor is seeing and hearing.
I mean there is cannonically a lot of egypt them "Ascended God Warrors" who's souls are eternally bound to their weapons in the lore. So idk, maybe not the same methods but could be the same idea.
I think when Sky got disintegrated, her 'essence' for lack of a better term got absorbed into the Hexcore somehow. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it's not really her that Viktor is seeing. I think the Hexcore is using the information it extracted from her(her voice, appearance etc) to talk to Viktor and manipulate him into doing its bidding. All this 'curing' that he's gonna be doing may also be spreading something among the population...
Holy shit, the predictions with these guys were spot on. Victor becoming a messiah, Achara wondering whether the guy’s now connected to Viktor, Michael’s theory on Viktor being the one who helped Jayce. Impressive!
About Viktor and the sick guys: it would seem like he could manipulate the Shimmer within them and just... Purify it? Change it, somehow? I think the key is that, in a way, whatever Viktor turned into is a perfect mix of Hextech and Shimmer. The Arcane and the Organic.
Silco isn't some new voice in Jinx's head. Whenever Jinx heard Mylo's voice in S1, it was accompanied by the "tormenting" scribble animation. That's not present here. The "have you had enough" is simply a callback to Silco's "drowning," which was when he had to decide if he would accept the peace of water or go on to fight. Silco would have told Jinx that story. Here, Jinx is faced with the same choice: she could join her father and slip forever beneath the waves, or she could continue the fight. She had to answer the same question: "Have you had enough?" Awesome writing, and the perfect close to Silco's character: Jinx will take on his struggle.
I do not view Jinx and Savika as the antagonists. I'll always root for Zaun over Piltover (Tho Ekko is definitely the most morally good character in the show).
That was fast! I just watched the first one a couple of hours ago and now this. After watching Act 1 of S2, I'll be spending my weekend watching reactions from almost anyone.
I'm guessing Mel saved Jayce. In the ending scene of arcane season 1, Mel is standing directly in front of the missile, her back glows before the missile makes contact with the glass. Opening to season 2 she is standing in front of Jayce, Jayce asks how he managed to survive while Viktor got his shit rocked. And she just goes it is what it is. Everyone on the council was significantly injured but Mel and Jayce are ok? I'm thinking big back energy...maybe literally.
I think its the "Locket of the Iron Solari". An Solari Artifact (and League of Legeneds Item) that creates a magic protective shield. Somehow Mel is linked to the Solaris (maybe her Dad was one). In Season 1 Mel had a Flashback Scene where her mother killed a young girl that had Lunari Symbols on her, wich further proofs this theorie because they are opposing organizations/religions.
@15:26 the deity depicted on the mural is Janna. She is a wind goddess the people of Zaun pray to for pure air and protection. I wonder if by the end of the series she will appear and act as a foil to Viktor whos new religion will rise in power.
30:35 Thank god, you said it perfectly. I am so tired of always having those arguments online over characters and media being portrayed one or another way. When you write a character that happens to be strong, it doesn't matter - if they're female or male, same as writing character to who's intelligent doesn't matter - If it's female or male, you write the best character you can even if they are flawed, but their color, S.O, background, or beliefs don't own them, They make the choices that they want to for their luxuries and pleasures and even pain.
24:11 - Michael Boose - i hear you. The Undercity, the Rakghouls - Taris definitely has similar vibes to the contrasts shown between Piltover and Zaun ~
if that thing about viktor helping out jayce is true and it was from a spoiler i m going to be so mad lol, if it isnt, brilliant theory gave me absolute chill.
glorious reaction and onto the next!~ also incase it wasnt pointed out by anyone else yet. the yordle Teemo is seen as a storybook character as of right now. he was featured in the bar on an arcade box in the hang out
This show XMEN 97', Invincible, & Blue Eye Samurai are in a league of there own in terms of superhero animated series heck animated series in general, to be made in the past decade.
I don't think she does. I get the impression nobody knows it was her. I mean, Smeech didn't, and... so far nobody would have any way of knowing : there weren't any witnesses and based on the intro, we can assume that Jinx left Silco's body in the water pretty fast after his death (assuming that the intro isn't a metaphor). And I doubt she'll tell anyone if she can avoid it. She told Smeech because she wanted to scare him but other than that, I think she'll prefer to keep it to herself. Beside Sevika would probably destroy her if she knew :')
Man I've been thinking about Viktor being the mage who helped Jayce as a kid since mid-season 1, short of a "Viktor from the future", but the fact that that mage had a hand with normal skin and nails and runes tattooed on the back of his fingers... doesn't fit in with it.
Michael is a lot at times, I like him cause he's really insightful but then there's the one in every group that over powers the group chat. Not naming names but sometimes less is more. Love the channel. Always have.
He talks way too much, which is my only issue. He's very good at analyzing but he has to learn to reserve his points post-watch discussion. Still loved the reaction tho!
Was totally unprepared for Victor's Messiah arc. I'm wondering if the work that Skye was wanting to present to Victor before she got dusted was some sort of addiction cure for the undercity. Now Victor is continuing her work?
I too thought Victor was the one who helped Jayce and it was a time loop thing but someone who played the game told me it was a champion named Ryze and who saved him. But I do think Victor is turning into an Arcane figure like that guy was.
That's definitely not 100% Ryze, but its still a possible theory. Generally people who play the game do not even know the lore, but there are multiple reasons it could be Ryze, and multiple reasons why it shouldn't be, so who knows he might be right in the end.
The fact that Jaby never questioned which character is male or female hinges just on 2 words : Good writing. Something that has been sorely missed in Hollywood for the past decade, and that Arcane truly makes us hypersensibly aware of.
It's funny how some of the stuff that Jinx was complaining about at the beginning happened because of her own actions. 🤣 I can't get over how fun it is to watch this show. Can't wait to watch the next episode. Enjoyed the reaction 👍👍✌ out.
Teemo is a character in fiction, shown in Marcus' daughter's book in s1 and on the broken arcade machine this ep. So I think the Teemo helmet it's just a in-world cute/innocent kid thing.
I can see this story lead to Jayce's and Viktor's actual lore in league. Viktor wants to change everything with glorious evolution, Jayce wants to keep what Piltover always doing. They fight and Viktor being a raid boss in Zaun
Everybody is so hyped by Hextech-Shimmer Jesus and i completely agree with it. The Viktor arc and Liberation Flag Jinx thing is what im so excited for.
Jinx: the one who killed the two pillars of Zaun. Vander: The one who kept everything in order Silco: The one who kept everything in check Both, the fathers of Jinx
In case you're wondering why the plot seems a bit fast, I think it's bcuz it's wartime. Both sides aren't keen on wasting any time. Everyone is a hurry one way or the other. Things move very fast when war is declared.
The "Tree thing" isn't any form of message, it is literally the ONLY NATURAL source of fresh air in the undercity which Ekko found and started a community around. Emphasizing that the undercity is deprived of the simplest most important necessity which is breathable air.
Best man holiday, Think like a man 1&2, Almost Christmas, Tyler Perry good deed; confessions of a marriage counselor; big happy family, the hate u give, instant family
I have a feeling the little girl is Marcus' daughter, Little Ren. Michael called it that she's dressed in a Teemo costume. And the only other reference to Teemo was the comic book in her room being browsed by the creepy Silco goon when Silco went to threaten Marcus and his daughter. This would set up the revenge arc for Little Ren as the "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter" coming back to undo Jinx eventually. Fuck I love this show.
@@Mizako96 i meant just like her. Not her. A spirit that guides Viktor. I wouldn’t be opposed to an arcane Viktor skin with Sky in the background of the splash art and have her appear here and there in game lmao
Powder and Jinx aren't two different people. She doesnt have a split personality. Powder grew up, is all. If Vi had understood that, she wouldnt have ruined everything.
The arm that Jinx made for Sevika is exactly like Jinx herself, colorful, unpredictable, fun in a terrifying way, and extremely destructive.
Also Sevika is a Gambler, so it suits her a bit.
@@carlosruiz3500Jinx is goofy, but her weapons are serious. Sevika is serious, but her weapon is Goofy.

Piltover was connected to Shurima in the past, and Shuurima is the ancient Egypt of this universe.
glory to Shurima!

He just healed them with metal. Basically replaces weak flesh with glorious evolution metal. Thats viktors mindset
I hope he still dawns the mask
I agree, I also believe the shimmer has a role in this transformation
im pretty sure vikor has become a mage

Seeing Jinx in the water like that with Silco, I was actually thinking of that "what it's like to drown" scene the whole time. It was perfect.
Love seeing people notice that
“You can make a religion out of this” they do the church of the evolved
How GLORIOUS

The way he said it I believe refers to a very popular YT video « history of the entire world… i guess ». He said it in the same fashion :)
I do not view Jinx and Savika as the antagonists. I'll always root for Zaun over Piltover (Tho Ekko is definitely the most morally good character in the show).
It's nice that Jinx made Sevika an arm, when it was Jinx who originally was responsible for taking her arm away :D
Powder is definitely still in there. She probably wont come back fully, but shes still in her.
Victor's journey is definitely underrated and I can't wait to see where it goes.
my theory is that he is going to become the first mage seen in the series because he definitely has the the attire and power lol
That was fast! I just watched the first one a couple of hours ago and now this. After watching Act 1 of S2, I'll be spending my weekend watching reactions from almost anyone.

Watch It All Burn! 🔥 I loved the Jinx, Sevika and Isha dynamic. Thanks for the vid!
I think powders hat you’re thinking of is the bowl she used as a helmet in her duel with ekko as kids in «the boy savior»
Viktor is becoming Dr Manhattan basically 😂
No doctor Manhattan but doctor doom
Thanks for dropping fast
The hat is from jinx and Ekko's fight on the bridge
ngl I thought it was a Teemo scout hat.
Powders hat from that fight is more like a pot with a handle. This kids hat is very much like Teemo.
Oh thank god, I thought we'll have to wait for a couple days for the 2nd ep reaction
24:40 man guessed the ending in the second episode. 😂
Yeah right!!! 😂😂😂
People: Wow, this looks like something you could build a religion around!
THE GLORIOUS EVOLUTION guys: THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT!
Wow, this season is really getting interesting especially with Vi not being able to stop Jinx from killing the council
Sevikas new arm is amazing!!
The sync in emotions and the song lyrics in 20:57. The people who made this know their audience.
damn they straight up confirming Singed created "It" cant wait to see "it" in this animation and combat style!
24:11 - Michael Boose - i hear you. The Undercity, the Rakghouls - Taris definitely has similar vibes to the contrasts shown between Piltover and Zaun ~

Jinx and Sevika team up is literally my favorite thing this season.
if that thing about viktor helping out jayce is true and it was from a spoiler i m going to be so mad lol, if it isnt, brilliant theory gave me absolute chill.
Fun fact: Scheems is a yordle. Same species with heimer.
I wanted to mention it since you said you haven't seen any kind of yordle besides heimer
Or maybe scheems vastaya
Scheems seems more Vestaya. They are quite large to be a yordle and I don't see why a Yordle would have so many physical enhancements.
There is also the lady Yordle who runs the whorehouse
@@mostcreative3680isn’t that due to his mechanical limbs? Also he’s from zaun. I don’t doubt for a second that he altered his body to have an edge
@@mostcreative3680Kled? Rumble? Yordles fight too.
I wanted to cry when Jinx was crying and i was so heartbroken to see Jinx still hallucinate vi as a monster. It hurts to see.
Love that you pointed out the Teemo hat 💙
Episode 3 reaction when? Loved the two reaction so far.... this show has hooked me once again
What a glorious moment for viktor
Keep up with the Arcane League of Legends guys. Ooh loving it. And most of all love you guys ❤😂🎉

If I'm not mistaken, Powder had a similar hat to Isha in ep 7's flashback, when she fights with Ekko on the bridge
Viktor becoming Hex Jesus was not on my bingo card this season.
