Honestly, this whole series is rewriting the lore into something that ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE. I hope they actually rewrite the ruination in the future and give us ALL the characters going through it. Like the ones we missed in Samira and Darius and Poppy.
I want the next series to be about the noxus invasion of ionia. Add in riven starting as a hopeful soldier fully believing in noxus, irelia starting the resistance, karma dealing with the avatar spirit, singed using nukes and chemical weapons of mass destruction and ending in swain having his hand cut
Friendly reminder that the scene where Silco is hugging Powder and she has the purple eyes is ACTUALLY a reference to one of the series' teasers, except for those ones, its Vi hugging her :)
Besides her being a child with abandonment issues, messing with weapons and explosives was something not only natural for Jinx but also something they praised her for. It's so unfair to blame her for it because there's no way a child would know that bombs are bad if she spent her life being encouraged to make and use them (Vi herself expressed positive interest in her "projects", i can't even imagine how confused and betrayed Jinx felt).
I dont think Vi blamed her for using a bomb : she blamed her for messing it up by heavily miscalculating its effects. The way their thief group fonctionned emplied everyone had to use their talent at the right moment, and dose it carefully. Not only Powder disobeyed her, but she went overboard (not on purpose, of course). Mistakes happens, but some can have dreadful consequences depending on the situation. Powder was literally playing with fire, a fire very dangerous since most adults (save for our 2 inventors!) wouldn't even know how to handle properly Hextech. At the same time, you cant blame her : she's just a kid, and really wanted to save her sis and her friends... Poor Powder, that was so heart breaking to watch
That entire scene with jinx really brought me to tears not only cause shes just a child in this but because I tend to have a mental breakdown whenever I screw something up that causes other people to be affected and when I feel like I'm completely usless and cant be of help to anyone.
Yeah agreed, but that would mean they need to update skarner's lore soon. Cuz honestly the whole hextech crystal being his race kinda does hold back the story.
@@vincentlayug1361 It’s never mentioned where jace got the crystals, he only saw a rune stone and then seeked out similar power. It’s entirely possible that there still brakern
I'm torn. I think that Arcane is such a well-told story that it has to be cannon. It must be cannon. However, I don't love the idea that Riot executives can continuously retcon stories, just so long as they have something that generates them more money. What happens when some Jinx/Vi story comes along that's more popular than Arcane? It's kind of a slippery slope. It made sense for the older characters because Runeterra is fundamentally a different universe from when they were created, but I'd like each piece of lore to be concrete and have weight. Nobody wants to have to question the validity of what they're watching/reading. I think a happy medium is for them to find ways to integrate new stories into what they already have.
So true, at least it doesn't require joining discord or being flamed. I have only played a half dozen games in the last 8 years so I was kinda surprised at how into the characters I got. But its just one component of a stellar production. I listen playing through a receiver and surround setup. The score of the show is really stunning and evocative. The strings in the Jinx bust up was so good. I dont know if there is really anything else I can compare it to but its not my genre. I want to see what else the studio has done now.
sometime, you can grab some food with your friend without it being a date. Eating feels nice, and it is also necessary in order to survive... But it's cool to craft scenes that are open to different interpretations anyway, so why am I even commenting? I don't know...
Got back on this from act 2: So conflicted on liking ALL of the Casts, they fit their roles so, so well. And guilt tripping out off my mind. Really great recap. Can't wait for the upcoming (if any) Act 2 & 3 recap.
Easter egg i noticed: when powder is crying with her tool box in episode 3, there are wings (one Black and the other white) draw in the inside of the box, which is a reference to her tattoos in the star guardian skin
Love how passionate you are about it all ^^ This series was amazing, I cannot wait for season 2. I do think that characters like Grayson don't deserve praise. She was keeping the peace sure, but in a system as broken and exploitative as can be. She even recognizes that the arrest needs to happen just to make the topsiders feel better about things and her men run roughshod over the lanes. She might mean well, but she certainly didn't do well. At the end of the day she was exactly what the corrupt council wanted and the fact that she had some empathy for Vander and his people actually makes it more horrible in some ways because she knows how they are treated is heinous, but she guards the system anyway.
The Brackern aren't being ret-conned necrit pointed it out and I needed to hear it for myself but it's real. When Jinx first finds the crystals in jayce's lab you can hear their voices if you have good headphones. You can also hear their screams mixed in with the explosion during Marcus's view of the explosion on the docks. The Brackern are still very much in there.
The scene at the brothel, where Vi speak with the brothel owner (the old yordle woman) there were also many masks behind her. I think there was even Shaco's mask hanging there.
After Vander was taken by Silco and angry purple boi...Silco says to Vander "I'll show you what you really are." Right after that, you clearly hear the Warwick Blood Hunt sound right as the music picks up...hearing that gave me chills
Honestly, Vander becoming WW and Jinx/Vi figuring out who he is is going to be a lot more gut wrenching than anything if/when they do find out. Vander = WW was my only theory during the whole time I was watching after the ending of ep 1. The moment I saw the first shimmer vial and the relationship Vander and Silco had everything just kinda clicked into place. Silco then basically telling Vander to release the monster he know he has in him and Vander basically being an uncontested threat to anyone and everyone from the very first scene in the show. After revisiting WW's lore page and seeing everything it all clicked together and removed any doubt I might have had. You begin to see just why a former retired gangster turned chem'd up murder machine ended up being a lethal vigilantee and the context of vague memories of a little girl calling his name. It's all SO GOOD and I want more of it.
Here's a thing I noticed ! (Spoiler for the end) In the game, Jinx got tattoos of blue clouds and bullets, right ? In Arcane, Jinx only got blue clouds. What killed her family the first time ? An explosion she made ending with blue smoke. What killed her family the second time ? Bullets that she shot. Tl;dr : Jinx tattoos on herself her two most traumatic failures. She sure deserves that name, huh ?
i am happy that i never read enything about the lor, because I can fully enjoy the story of jinx and Vi in the series without thinking about what probably is not exactly right.
I know almost nothing of official LoL lore. I just know that Arcane is amazing! The animation, the storytelling, the voice acting, the music... everything, so well done! And Act 2... it just gets better!
About the hex crystals, in the files on lol client, jayce talks about the expeditions to find the crystal that matches what was given to him. So the lore still on going about Skarner's family
I like how at the beginning it made it seem like silko and Vander were just straight good guy bad guys but by the end I actually ended up identifying with and having alot of respect for both of them in different ways while also being a little bit disgusted by both of there gray moralitys.
Jayce having to compromise integrity for power while still lamenting his own inaction to do anything about the gasses in the undercity that took out the partner who essentially made him and looking past the scourge of shimmer etc. This is pretty contemporary for Steampunk in some ways as allegory.
I didn't miss it when watching, but I miss it now, mainly Viktor and Jayce being absolutely adorable awkward dorks together, Riot, I didn't even ship this, I mustn't, _don't tempt me_
Tho there might be changes that happens, I heavily appreciate the sht they doing back there. The whole League Lore is a world we never knew we needed. And the changes, the updates to the lore, makes it deeper, less normy, the dept it's starting to give off is like the dept of the Star Wars universe.
I'm surprised nobody mentionned the similarities between Grayson and Lin Beifong in Legend of Korra, visually-wise and "background"-wise. I'm convinced Riot took inspiration to built Grayson's character, but with some improvement : Grayson is smoother, less hot-headed, and wiser. Like you said DInka, peak queen energy. Other than that, I'm overwhelmed like you all by the incredible quality of Arcane. It just hits and feels right in every aspect, and I mean in EVERY aspect.
I think that this serie really connects with the audience. I have a friend that has schysophrenya (sorry my gramar chilean / zaun guy ajajaj) and i asked him if he could relate to jinx voices and hallucinations. And yes he admited it is very real. You have jayce that was about to commit suicide until they break the scene with a soft joke, and it could have been controvertial , but they made it brilliant. And then you have viktor a guy that doesnt want to get to much involved with the people , but its ok because he's a genius. And then you have the plot, man i can relate so much to vi and zaun people, because third world is kinda similar you know. This serie could mean riot taking over the world.
This might be out there with all the things and references but I firmly believe that Fiddle is out there watching them. Cuz I feel like there's a Fiddle shaped chair on the first episode when Silco was interrogating the frat boy and crows are showing up left and right too. Which I solely think explains why Fiddle knows Jinx's fears. But this is just my theory.
In episode 2, when the enforcemen is looking for them and looks under the bed, there is a rhinoceros stuffed animal with the same paint job as the one in the jinx music video.
If you listen whenever the Hex Crystals are struck, you can hear whispering/screaming. There's been a lot of hypothesis that it's the Brackern souls crying out. Also when Powder is running from the gang with the pilfered stuff in Ep 1, a PentaKill poster can be seen on the wall just before she tosses the stuff into the water. Along side what looks like a torn Doctor Mundo Poster. We also get to see Powder find the teeth for her future Chompers. When the kids are jumping from ledge to ledge in the very beginning of Ep 1, you get to see Caitlyn's Cupcake's on the balcony. The face on the punching machine is supposed to be that of Milo's. Also, just personally, the big guy that works for Silco. His tattoos remind me of the Serpent Isles. It also doesn't help that we see Bilgewater creatures in the water outside Silco's lab, and that the gun game Powder and Milo play is based on Bilgewater. I'm curious if there's going to be any connection there to other characters or places.
AS far as in-game lore goes, I think about it as gossips and people's tells, which is fitting, considering scattered and disjointed format. It is natural that Victor became evil in the public eye as opposed to Jayce. Series provide IMO much more compelling and natural actual stories and motivations.
Victor feining innocence and saying "wait a minute," 😧🤔 "this isn't my room-" made me laugh myself to _tears._ Coz that was 12 year old me attempting to liee 😭
I hope the show gets more seasons, with each one focused on a different region and the characters that live there. Imagine an entire season about Noxus, Bilgewater or Ionia.
Necrit made a similar "missed points" video, and just off the top of my head I remember that he had found Pentakill logo (and indeed it was there), and some semi-covered poster, which looks similar to Corporate Mundo splash.
The masks in Benzo's shop, the rightmost mask is even the actual Haunting Guise :D AND WE HAVE RABADDON'S, HEART OF GOLD, AND TRYNDAMERE'S HELMET IN THE SHOP TOO.
I hope Fiddlestick's lines in the game hint that there is an even more significant event that Jinx will be the catalyst for. I heard Fiddlestick's lines are all him just mimicking the dying words of his victims, and since nobody in the explosion was screaming that it was all Jinx's fault - that could mean there is a future event where Jinx somehow causes someone else to be killed by FiddleSticks, and he is just repeating their last words
I mean silco when from trying to exploit powder with is "sweet" voice so he could get both sister and kill them... to not trying to exploit power the moment he see her going through the same thing as him. There is not other motive at that moment.
Yeah, taking into account Riots history of "keeping up with their own lore" I'd say never expect they will keep up with their own lore. As in, don't expect they will showcase what they wrote, better imagine someone else that kinda read the lore is running the show here and maybe he remembers some of the story and maybe some other parts will be invented on the spot.
in my opinion the worst thing about jinx and vi was that they should tell vander about the hextech crystals in the first place(I mean 95% of it was Vi's fault to do not let jinx to show them to vander) and than none of these would happen.
Actually, it was Ekko's fault from the start. He was the one who gave the job to Vi. Markus did his job as an enforcer to track down and capture the culprit behind the explosion that was caused by Powder. This isn't even debatable, it's the fact. Also, it was Silco who manipulated Markus since he's the one who gave the info to him. If Silco didn't do that, Markus would probably still be looking for the four of them. In the end, it wouldn't matter much if Markus accepted his deal or not, Silco will still capture Vander by using one of his subordinates, or kidnapping the kids.
okay you asked for our theories and here is mine and i am pretty alone with this one but i think that silco will become or be associated with shaco. i had this theory right from the beginning and his death in EP9 made it a bit harder but hear me out. 1. his name and visuals are quite the same, even his clothing reminds me of shaco (the red and black) and the wild card shaco even has a scared red eye 2. the way he plays and talks with ren (marcus daughter) and also his shadow bending on the wall might foreshadow a transformation? 3. he already is taking a daily dose of shimmer that could have "changed his nature" enough to survive/ be transformed? (just like jinx, warwick and viktor) 4. silco says "there is a monster in all of us" and jinx says "nothing ever stays dead". the last one is dropped in the same episode he dies. 5. shaco has almost no lore and eventhough riot wanted to change it, they never did. maybe to prevent arcane spoilers? 6. in the lore shaco has it's said that he got corrupted by dark magic (shimmer maybe?) after he lost his beloved charge (jinx?) 7. shacos splash art has purple stuff all over his weapons and toys 8. silco sneaks behind vander and stabs him with a dagger in the back for a "critical" hit. sounds to me like something shaco does right? 9. jinx is always concidered the harlequinn of league and she is missing her joker right? also killing with toys is pretty jinx-ish right? 10. pim (the dude with the clowns mask in the brothel) has the same voice actor as silco. why? i could've said this one line? and i know there are a lot voice actors that do multiple roles but that seem sto me like to big of a coincidence by now. 11. in the scene where vi decides to fight in episode 3, right after she steps on the bridge, you can hear a clowns laughter (round about minute 21:40). why?! and if you say now, well silco is dead and shaco is a puppet soooooo. well i got a last one for you. jinx, so far, has made a puppet of every family member she accidently killed. mylo and claggor. she has a tendency to keep stuff as a reminder. why not making a puppet in rememberance of silco maybe with his blood stained clothes and the blood and shimmer might at some point mix and bring the puppet to life that is known as shaco. and like warwick he wont have memories of his past but just be an evil entity killing stuff. okay thats enough. what do you think? am i seeing things or am i on to something?
Excellent video. Well made and informative even for the most affictionate lore enthusiasts. Allow me to add a thing or two to your great explanation: First of all, this "never happened in the lore" looks like it's susceptible to change. As you may already know, Caitlyn's lore was updated, and I think, by the end of the series, many others may change as well. In Jinx's LOR's tale, Jinx and Vi seem to have reconciliated. She's still a lunatic, and they fight each other sometimes, but there is some good talks and hugs inbetween (Jinx still dislikes Caitlyn, by the way, wich creates some dilemma to Vi). It seems that the way Vi will get her gauntlets will change, and this needs to be reflected in her lore. Besides, Jayce's lore says he was born on Piltover, and this needs to change as well. Now, Ziggs and Jinx's comic. I know you like this story, and I like it too. But the idea of yordles being seen with prejudice and needing to disguise themselves with glamour simply doesn't hold much water when compared with everything else. First, we are aways reminded that Heimerdinger is the greatest mind of Piltover and the University's headmaster. In the comics, he is working on a pyrotechnic workshop, which doesn't make much sense. Second, there is a statue in front of the University of Piltover, as can be seen in the LOR card with the same name, portraying Heimerdinger himself in his normal yordle form. If he needed to use glamour, this wouldn't happen at all. Third, he is not the only yordle on the University of Piltover, as is stated in Ziggs' backstory. And finally, speaking of Ziggs' backstory, Ziggs was reintegrated in the University of Piltover as an honorary member after rescuing a group of teachers from some Zaun bandits, which contradicts the comics. The comics also contradicts Rumble's backstory, since it states that a group of former Heimerdinger students made a field trip to Bandle City, which implies they knew he was a Yordle.
OMG DINKA I just finished episode 6,yeah I know I started watching this only yesterday nov 17th,a bit late to the party,PC was broken for a while now and I finally got a new one now,a much better one,I can finally play LoL from home again and I now watch YT vids on 1080p.Anyway loved it so much,it is true what I heard about it that it's so damn good,animation is insane,wow,now waiting for the last 3 eps to drop this Saturday Like watching some people's reactions but this vid is so good cuz of you knowing all the lore,would love to see your episode reactions too,any chanse for that ? Sry haven't kept up with what u did recently
I know this is a "older" video. But surprised you didn't mention the rat being deformed/mutating when given Shimmer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Twitch is a mutated rat that Singed created & slowly becomes a thief right? Others may have mentioned this but Idk Lol
I'm gonna guess Warwick theory #2 is probably close to the one they will be going with. They have just thrown waaaaay too many hints at Vander being Warwick, including something another reviewer pointed out, including the background music during Vander's rampage being Warwick music/effects.
The only thing i missed is Viktor saying "Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom" while he get's caught sneaking with Jayce.
after act 2 one name MEL
Honestly, this whole series is rewriting the lore into something that ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE. I hope they actually rewrite the ruination in the future and give us ALL the characters going through it. Like the ones we missed in Samira and Darius and Poppy.
I want the next series to be about the noxus invasion of ionia. Add in riven starting as a hopeful soldier fully believing in noxus, irelia starting the resistance, karma dealing with the avatar spirit, singed using nukes and chemical weapons of mass destruction and ending in swain having his hand cut
@@mohammadnaghizade3544 ik im late but my theory is that Mel will die and that will be shift into the series focusing on Noxus due to her death
going from two sisters vi and jinx to two brothers daruis and draven wouldn't be so bad honestly?@@KaiserDaChoom
Friendly reminder that the scene where Silco is hugging Powder and she has the purple eyes is ACTUALLY a reference to one of the series' teasers, except for those ones, its Vi hugging her :)
When Silco tells Vander, “I’ll show you what you really are” if you listen closely you can slightly hear the Warwick W sound in the background.
Besides her being a child with abandonment issues, messing with weapons and explosives was something not only natural for Jinx but also something they praised her for. It's so unfair to blame her for it because there's no way a child would know that bombs are bad if she spent her life being encouraged to make and use them (Vi herself expressed positive interest in her "projects", i can't even imagine how confused and betrayed Jinx felt).
It also kills me that Vi was the one to tell powder to keep the crystals and not to tell Vander. There's no way he would have let her keep those
I dont think Vi blamed her for using a bomb : she blamed her for messing it up by heavily miscalculating its effects. The way their thief group fonctionned emplied everyone had to use their talent at the right moment, and dose it carefully. Not only Powder disobeyed her, but she went overboard (not on purpose, of course). Mistakes happens, but some can have dreadful consequences depending on the situation.

At the same time, you cant blame her : she's just a kid, and really wanted to save her sis and her friends... Poor Powder, that was so heart breaking to watch
@@phillipmarathakis5703 yeah but I don’t think vi knew how volatile they actually were which is likely why she was fine with it
Jayce and viktor sitting in a tree, making things illegally
That entire scene with jinx really brought me to tears not only cause shes just a child in this but because I tend to have a mental breakdown whenever I screw something up that causes other people to be affected and when I feel like I'm completely usless and cant be of help to anyone.
Honestly, I'm gonna say it: I am okay with them retconning in order to bring it all together and solidify the lore overall
Same, man. Same. ;_;
Yeah agreed, but that would mean they need to update skarner's lore soon. Cuz honestly the whole hextech crystal being his race kinda does hold back the story.
@@vincentlayug1361
It’s never mentioned where jace got the crystals, he only saw a rune stone and then seeked out similar power. It’s entirely possible that there still brakern
@@featherdragon7894 they are practically confirmed to be brackern since you can hear the souls in it scream when any of them blow up.

I think there was even Shaco's mask hanging there.
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! YOUR REACTION ✨💯

Tl;dr : Jinx tattoos on herself her two most traumatic failures.
She sure deserves that name, huh ?
Can't wait for your act 2 and 3 vids
I've seen the fist 6 Episodes and i have to say it's pretty damn good and a lot better than I expected. I Just hope they don't mess it up.

It’s such a good story and every frame is a masterpiece. I’ve watched this through four times now and it breaks my heart every time.
I didn't miss it when watching, but I miss it now, mainly Viktor and Jayce being absolutely adorable awkward dorks together, Riot, I didn't even ship this, I mustn't, _don't tempt me_
I know, right?!!

„Luckily for them, Mel is an ally...“ Godline
19:09 Idk about the left one. But the middle and right masks are old ingame items. Liandry's Torment and Haunting Guise.
Thanks! Its a great reaction to the Act 1, and I appreciate the background lore you had throughout.

Hell yeah I've been waiting my whole life for new content.
I think that this serie really connects with the audience. I have a friend that has schysophrenya (sorry my gramar chilean / zaun guy ajajaj) and i asked him if he could relate to jinx voices and hallucinations. And yes he admited it is very real.
You have jayce that was about to commit suicide until they break the scene with a soft joke, and it could have been controvertial , but they made it brilliant.
And then you have viktor a guy that doesnt want to get to much involved with the people , but its ok because he's a genius.
And then you have the plot, man i can relate so much to vi and zaun people, because third world is kinda similar you know. This serie could mean riot taking over the world.

When the kids are jumping from ledge to ledge in the very beginning of Ep 1, you get to see Caitlyn's Cupcake's on the balcony.
The face on the punching machine is supposed to be that of Milo's.
Also, just personally, the big guy that works for Silco. His tattoos remind me of the Serpent Isles. It also doesn't help that we see Bilgewater creatures in the water outside Silco's lab, and that the gun game Powder and Milo play is based on Bilgewater. I'm curious if there's going to be any connection there to other characters or places.
I don’t think they are retconning the brackerns, in episode 3 when the crystals explode you can hear the cries of the brackern.
Can't wait for dinka's reaction to ep. 4-6 haha💅
AS far as in-game lore goes, I think about it as gossips and people's tells, which is fitting, considering scattered and disjointed format. It is natural that Victor became evil in the public eye as opposed to Jayce. Series provide IMO much more compelling and natural actual stories and motivations.
Such knowledge about the lore of this series, I am new the the LOL universe and I appreciate what I have learned from your reaction! Thank you!!
I was so happy to see so many references in Benzo's shop, like the little Heart of Gold he was holding, and a bunch of other stuff.
She's gonna have a field day with Act II
There was also a Rabbadon's death cap and tryndamere's helmet at Benzo's store.
Can't wait for Act 2 Recap!
Jayce is not from Freldjord, he was exploring with her mother.
I so want to see act 2 review responding your own questions lol
YESSS I BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS
Victor feining innocence and saying "wait a minute," 😧🤔 "this isn't my room-" made me laugh myself to _tears._
Coz that was 12 year old me attempting to liee 😭
I thought the black lanes was just a really clever ref to how you play in lanes in LoL.
Wow
I hope the show gets more seasons, with each one focused on a different region and the characters that live there. Imagine an entire season about Noxus, Bilgewater or Ionia.
If they do ionia. I want to see sett from kid to being The Boss
@@david14341 I doubt it would be there so soon. You would need to show the invasion first and foremost
Necrit made a similar "missed points" video, and just off the top of my head I remember that he had found Pentakill logo (and indeed it was there), and some semi-covered poster, which looks similar to Corporate Mundo splash.
The masks in Benzo's shop, the rightmost mask is even the actual Haunting Guise :D
AND WE HAVE RABADDON'S, HEART OF GOLD, AND TRYNDAMERE'S HELMET IN THE SHOP TOO.
Finally been waiting for this one truly awesome video
My theory is they are going to make a game about the series . . .
Vander-'s nickname gave it away for me
The freaking rat ! The rat in Singed's laboratory might be Twitch. Based on his lore he escaped after a huge explosion in a laboratory. Ooooh my God
Vander was heavily hinted as WW. I believe there is no way they' re gonna jinx us on this. Pun intended
I hope Fiddlestick's lines in the game hint that there is an even more significant event that Jinx will be the catalyst for. I heard Fiddlestick's lines are all him just mimicking the dying words of his victims, and since nobody in the explosion was screaming that it was all Jinx's fault - that could mean there is a future event where Jinx somehow causes someone else to be killed by FiddleSticks, and he is just repeating their last words
Wow, You can roll your eyes like marbles, amazing!
Totally been waiting for this video lol I sobbed
I mean silco when from trying to exploit powder with is "sweet" voice so he could get both sister and kill them... to not trying to exploit power the moment he see her going through the same thing as him. There is not other motive at that moment.
just finished act two and waiting for your Recap :D
Yeah, taking into account Riots history of "keeping up with their own lore" I'd say never expect they will keep up with their own lore. As in, don't expect they will showcase what they wrote, better imagine someone else that kinda read the lore is running the show here and maybe he remembers some of the story and maybe some other parts will be invented on the spot.
I WAAAS WAITING FOR THIS
thank you Queen for validating my feels for my bois Jayce and Viktor T.T they do deserve each other
4:50 sounds like somebody has played top lane ;-)
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION 🥺
THE ACT 2 JUST CAME OUT AND BRACE YOURSELF BEFORE WATCHING IT MY QUEEN DINKA 🥰
in my opinion the worst thing about jinx and vi was that they should tell vander about the hextech crystals in the first place(I mean 95% of it was Vi's fault to do not let jinx to show them to vander) and than none of these would happen.
Ekko shouldn't have said anything about Jayce's room in the first place
i think the rat that singed and silco experimented on in the beginning is twitch...
I love Singed because he is one of the darkest villains Riot ever created.
Cant wait for next recaps this was GREAT!!! 🔥
Actually, it was Ekko's fault from the start. He was the one who gave the job to Vi. Markus did his job as an enforcer to track down and capture the culprit behind the explosion that was caused by Powder. This isn't even debatable, it's the fact.
Also, it was Silco who manipulated Markus since he's the one who gave the info to him. If Silco didn't do that, Markus would probably still be looking for the four of them.
In the end, it wouldn't matter much if Markus accepted his deal or not, Silco will still capture Vander by using one of his subordinates, or kidnapping the kids.
I love how we got our very own Jinx youtuber talking about LOL lore and Arcane.
I love the vid tenebrix and I cannot wait for arcane episode 4!
I just finished watching and WOW OH MY FING GOD !!!! I did not expect all these feels😭😭😭😭
Did you made reaction Videos to arcane on patreon ?
Gurl we need the Act 2 and 3 of these videos pleaseeeee
okay you asked for our theories and here is mine and i am pretty alone with this one but i think that silco will become or be associated with shaco. i had this theory right from the beginning and his death in EP9 made it a bit harder but hear me out.
1. his name and visuals are quite the same, even his clothing reminds me of shaco (the red and black) and the wild card shaco even has a scared red eye
2. the way he plays and talks with ren (marcus daughter) and also his shadow bending on the wall might foreshadow a transformation?
3. he already is taking a daily dose of shimmer that could have "changed his nature" enough to survive/ be transformed? (just like jinx, warwick and viktor)
4. silco says "there is a monster in all of us" and jinx says "nothing ever stays dead". the last one is dropped in the same episode he dies.
5. shaco has almost no lore and eventhough riot wanted to change it, they never did. maybe to prevent arcane spoilers?
6. in the lore shaco has it's said that he got corrupted by dark magic (shimmer maybe?) after he lost his beloved charge (jinx?)
7. shacos splash art has purple stuff all over his weapons and toys
8. silco sneaks behind vander and stabs him with a dagger in the back for a "critical" hit. sounds to me like something shaco does right?
9. jinx is always concidered the harlequinn of league and she is missing her joker right? also killing with toys is pretty jinx-ish right?
10. pim (the dude with the clowns mask in the brothel) has the same voice actor as silco. why? i could've said this one line? and i know there are a lot voice actors that do multiple roles but that seem sto me like to big of a coincidence by now.
11. in the scene where vi decides to fight in episode 3, right after she steps on the bridge, you can hear a clowns laughter (round about minute 21:40). why?!
and if you say now, well silco is dead and shaco is a puppet soooooo. well i got a last one for you. jinx, so far, has made a puppet of every family member she accidently killed. mylo and claggor. she has a tendency to keep stuff as a reminder. why not making a puppet in rememberance of silco maybe with his blood stained clothes and the blood and shimmer might at some point mix and bring the puppet to life that is known as shaco. and like warwick he wont have memories of his past but just be an evil entity killing stuff.
okay thats enough. what do you think? am i seeing things or am i on to something?
So is the rat that drank the purple stuff going to be twitch?
Jeez the 3 queen's of evil tenebrix jinx and harley queen you do pretty good cosplay on them 2 u such a queen love you
please do act 2.. can't wait
Not me seeing vander on the floor and thinking he looks like mundo
With the new Act , Singed doesn't seem to be so much of a bad guy now and just a person who wants to survive
Excellent video. Well made and informative even for the most affictionate lore enthusiasts. Allow me to add a thing or two to your great explanation:
First of all, this "never happened in the lore" looks like it's susceptible to change. As you may already know, Caitlyn's lore was updated, and I think, by the end of the series, many others may change as well. In Jinx's LOR's tale, Jinx and Vi seem to have reconciliated. She's still a lunatic, and they fight each other sometimes, but there is some good talks and hugs inbetween (Jinx still dislikes Caitlyn, by the way, wich creates some dilemma to Vi). It seems that the way Vi will get her gauntlets will change, and this needs to be reflected in her lore. Besides, Jayce's lore says he was born on Piltover, and this needs to change as well.
Now, Ziggs and Jinx's comic. I know you like this story, and I like it too. But the idea of yordles being seen with prejudice and needing to disguise themselves with glamour simply doesn't hold much water when compared with everything else.
First, we are aways reminded that Heimerdinger is the greatest mind of Piltover and the University's headmaster. In the comics, he is working on a pyrotechnic workshop, which doesn't make much sense.
Second, there is a statue in front of the University of Piltover, as can be seen in the LOR card with the same name, portraying Heimerdinger himself in his normal yordle form. If he needed to use glamour, this wouldn't happen at all.
Third, he is not the only yordle on the University of Piltover, as is stated in Ziggs' backstory.
And finally, speaking of Ziggs' backstory, Ziggs was reintegrated in the University of Piltover as an honorary member after rescuing a group of teachers from some Zaun bandits, which contradicts the comics. The comics also contradicts Rumble's backstory, since it states that a group of former Heimerdinger students made a field trip to Bandle City, which implies they knew he was a Yordle.
I think jayce was born in piltover. His father made hammers in piltover and the tallis clan is an old toolmaker clan.
I honestly cannot wait for the Noxus/Ionia lore to be featured in the tv series
Am I the only one who is crying because of Jinx ( Powder 🥺 lovelybaby name) and Vi seeing them before and after?¿
Small detail but at the end of episode 1, the rat that mutates might be twitch later on
OMG DINKA I just finished episode 6,yeah I know I started watching this only yesterday nov 17th,a bit late to the party,PC was broken for a while now and I finally got a new one now,a much better one,I can finally play LoL from home again and I now watch YT vids on 1080p.Anyway loved it so much,it is true what I heard about it that it's so damn good,animation is insane,wow,now waiting for the last 3 eps to drop this Saturday
Like watching some people's reactions but this vid is so good cuz of you knowing all the lore,would love to see your episode reactions too,any chanse for that ? Sry haven't kept up with what u did recently
I would love to hear your opinion on act two and three. Especially your opinion on Silco(a.k.a. best dad ever).
I know this is a "older" video. But surprised you didn't mention the rat being deformed/mutating when given Shimmer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Twitch is a mutated rat that Singed created & slowly becomes a thief right? Others may have mentioned this but Idk Lol
Finally! I am not the only one who feels that homoerotic energy between Jace and Viktor. I felt it from the start.
It was your imagination after all
What about Twitch? Do you think the rat in episode 1 will become him? Would like to see him appear at least for a short while again in this series!
I'm gonna guess Warwick theory #2 is probably close to the one they will be going with. They have just thrown waaaaay too many hints at Vander being Warwick, including something another reviewer pointed out, including the background music during Vander's rampage being Warwick music/effects.
