Caitlin: lingers inches away from Vi's face, glancing down at her lips, staring deep into her eyes, holding her cheeks with both hands
Adam: "You guys need to be best friends, now." AMAZING 😂😂😂
Roommates even! 😂
@@drakanionLife long travel companions
@@drakanion oh my god they were roommates
history book best friends
@@doodoo5594 Perhaps even going so far as to be study buddies
7:53 my favorite part of the whole scene, is that as soon as Jayce calls out Heimerdinger, the camera starts to sloooooowly shift in his direction, re-centering the entire room perspective from Heimerdinger (current leader of the councel) to Jayce (newly emerging leader of the council). And it never stops moving in that direction until the end of the exchange. It starts centered on Heim at the “head”, and ends centered fully on Jayce. Such a great and subtle way to underscore the moment the leadership changed in that council room.
9:02 dw the history books will always remember them as best friends
And they were roommates
Heimerdinger fills the classic role: an old man whose only strategy is to DO NOTHING and cling to the status quo.
Oh man, I cannot wait for the season 2 live reactions
I stopped at "season 2".
Episode 6 Jay: "I was really excited for what Jinx was gonna make with that thing.... I wanna see what chaos nonsense she's building."
Me, after watching the full series: 😬
2:45 my immediate reaction to that statement was “👀 that’s cccrrrraaaaazzzzyyyy what nnnoooo
👀👀👀👀” started shaking like a Pomeranian
I love how Jay is just loving Jinx everytime she appears because that is just me watching Arcane😂
Jinx has severe psychosis. The only "positive" of sorts out of it, is that her hallucinations are mostly in-line with reality anyway. She's not seeing completely impossible things. She's seeing and hearing her dead friends and family, but that could be rationalized that she never really saw them die so she reasonably believes they're alive. Seeing people or creatures or objects and events that never existed, nor even could exist...would pretty starkly clash with the actual reality she lives in.
But these hallucinations are more like side-effects than anything else. They're not directly contradicting her real experiences. But her brain has definitely lost all capacity to distinguish between reality and fantasy.
Tossing that on top of all her already considerable disorders, and it's a recipe for disaster. As we see.
Jinx is ACTUALLY "crazy." Joker or Harley aren't even slightly crazy. They have some personality disorders that mostly revolve around being sociopaths, but they're not insane. They can still tell the difference between hallucinations and reality. They still know full-well what they do, why they do it, and what the consequences might be. Jinx has no idea at all what's real or what's not. It's just that her brain isn't manufacturing much wild weird stuff, so it doesn't really ever get in the way of her interacting with reality. She just seems odd to others, sometimes. And what with her attachment disorders and such, it's just not a good mix for anyone.
The events of ep3 basically shattered her mind. Her brain physically damaged itself just to stop her from going so far off the deep end that it might've even killed her just from the shock. She'd have just laid there catatonic after crying herself out, and died of dehydration if not for Silco. It gave her just enough of something to cling to, that instead of completely failing, her mind just broke into bits to save itself.
There could've been ways to deal with it all...in our world (well, in Europe...in the US she'd still be completely f-ed). But in the world of LoL (Runeterra, if you're curious), there's nothing for her. They don't have psychology or knowledge of therapy or neuroscience...nor any of the medications that go with it. There's simply no one, and no way, to really help her...not in that world.
"Are you real?" broke my heart, because at times, Jinx KNOWS that she can't trust what she sees, hears, etc.
@@Shax22132 indeed. She knows not all of it is real, but she no longer can differentiate the two.
literally JUST finished watching yalls reaction to 5, im glad youre loving this series. its so damn good
it’s more like “having a teenage daughter” bc jinx is not his marriage partner and is actually his daughter lol
9:10 “you guys need to be best friends now” … BEST FRIENDS?! You mean to tell me you can’t feel that tension between them?!
It's sarcasm LUL.
Yeah, Vi could leave no room for misinterpretation. She told Powder exactly what she needed to hear and exactly what happened, even if Jinx interpreted it as Marcus arresting Vi on Silco's orders. Their reunion was such a great and ultimately tragic scene.
The irony is how many people watch this and insist its Vi that can't accept who Powder is, even though every time they've had a heart to heart in S1 Vi has overtly conveyed that she loves her sister unconditionally and has encouraged her to believe in and be herself.
@@troikas3353 encouraged Powder that her "(nail)bombs will work" someday. Just think about that when Vi is holding Powder's cheek with a smile.
When the song was poping up... You two got chill haaha.
I can see clearly in your eyes. So much emotional ❤❤❤
Put Viktor's soul in a robot body?! How would that even work!
Remember that chilhood-scarring scene in Superman 3, where that bad lady gets turned into a mutilated version Maria from 'Metropolis'?
Some would call it a Glorious Evolution.
...that's what Lex Luthor did to Richard Corben in the cartoons, right?
That's impossible! They would never manage a *glorious evolution* like that!!
Not really that hard. Aside from it being fiction and souls not being real.
I don't know if "Catherine" is an inside joke or what but I'm getting used to it; an adorable mistake 😂
I thinking it was a mistake earlier, but they just leaned into it lol
Historians are like "they should be best friends"
I have only seen the bullets streaking towards/past the camera one other time that I can remember - the intro sequence to the Karas anime - which also does it in incredible style.
As you said last episode: this show is SO. DAMN. GOOD.
The ending reaction to this episode 😂 you both were so right 😅
I'm here because mr shart sent me
Catherine, my favorite character XD
Honestly I always felt like all the things Jayce was feeling for Mel would make SO much more sense if they were about Viktor.. Like he was LITERALLY doing the impossible with him for this entire time jump.. why would he suddenly only feel that way around Mel?? That whole relationship always felt so forced to me.
Adam, you keep saying Catherine in the intros 😂
You mean Caitlyn, right? Or is that an in-joke?
the reaction part was 3 years ago, the intro is present day so he slightly forgot the name because it's been 3 years 😅
love the reactions thanks guys!!~
The best episode of Arcane
The writers of the show stated they focused on "impossible choices" - So, when you two kept saying, "He's right, tho...", and "No. HE's right, tho..." and "I understand...", and "I don't understand..." - it's because from everyone's perspective, everyone is wrong and everyone is right.
In reality, there are times where the best decision is based on, "What will cause the least amount of destruction?" - where it is IMPOSSIBLE to avoid destruction. An example - I give you the basic medical ethical dilemma:
You have a wife. She's 4 months pregnant and in a coma. You've been given the power, via contractual agreement, to decide how to medically proceed - The source of the issue is the pregnancy itself (which means the coma will last the entire pregnancy), not the baby. You can save the baby by choosing to complete the pregnancy in its full duration, but the mother will die; or you can save the mother, by removing the baby. In either decision - a death is involved. Choose.
So many impossible choices in this story; yes, even Marcus. Do I choose what's "right" and risk the safety and security of my daughter, or do I continue to support Silco, and ensure her safety and security? Silco and Vander; Do I choose the future of our society, or do I choose the future and safety of my adopted daughter? (keep in mind their perspectives are completely different until Silco poured liquor at Vander's statue, "I get it now, brother...Is there anything more undoing...than a daughter?"); So many impossible choices...
The writing in this show is damn near perfect.
"Play hopscotch?" 🤣
Adam's beard doesn't look bad. There are just parts rubbed off from fiction. You can't deduct points for being a good husband.
Caitlin became Catherine in 3 years 😭
3 years later and they still dont know the names 😆😆
Wait wait - deescalate the situation on Mustafar? Anakin had just helped Palapatine execute Order 66 / murdered a temple full of younglings. He deserved to be murdered instantly for all of that. In fact - Revenge of the Sith made me a little mad because in Return of the Jedi you get a redemption arc from Darth Vader and I feel like Vader deserved no redemption after what he did.
Vi and Catherine
every time he says it I want to throw something :D
Did you guys ever react to the Imagine Dragons music video for this song using animation created just for the video? If you haven't seen it, you really should!
Spoilers are allowed now right anyway.Jinx has multiple personalities.You can actually see in the series where she switches between personalities at different times it seems like wow, that seems like a character.It's because it's a different personality in my opinion
Love you guys❤️ Jay aged? Haha
✨Fatherhood✨
Caitlin not Catherine 😂😂😂😂
Still calling her Catherine huh?
2:43 >.> Nobody say a damn word
You just did
Most of the characters AREN'T in the game. Of everyone we see on-screen, or hear referenced by others...there's maybe half a dozen that are actually Champions in the game itself.
Which is a bit unfortunate, since there are a few that would make for really great Champions in the game. Not that I'd ever know, since I refuse to play that garbage ever again. Especially what with Riot's new shtick of charging triple-digits for certain skins.
I think Red from OSP put it best, why did they make this shitty gacha game as a tie in to their amazing show?
I’m sorry they dared to suggest they would punt heimerdinger? For what, being right?
He isn't right. He offered no explanation of the dangers beyond "I'm old, trust me bro", he offered no alternatives to pursue, he presented absolutely no solutions and even when Jayce asks him directly for a plan, any plan at all, just to start addressing the fact half the city he's founded has become a violent third world slum ruled by crime lords.. Heimer dismisses it out of hand as a topic not even worth discussing. Heimer's the most crystal clear depiction of privileged apathy you could ask for. Technology also can't be un-invented once it exists, no matter how much Heimer wants to put the genie back in the bottle its just not possible. Even if he succeeded in burying the Hextech project, someone else will invent it and this time it will probably be someone he has no connection too and no chance to influence its development or use.
Pretty much every single thing Heimer did regarding Hextech was the wrong choice regardless of his good intentions.
@@troikas3353 Pretty much every single thing EVERYONE did regarding EVERYTHING was the wrong choice regardless of THEIR good intentions. That's what makes Arcane such a great tragedy.
@@troikas3353it ain’t that serious for one. Also considering the show had been out for years, I’ve seen how the season ends and what happens to victor and those around him. Yeah heimerdinger had an emotional reaction to it and didn’t explain his reasons for his ultimatum but…ah who knows I’m sure there will be no consequences involving the dark changes to the arcane device the remainder of this season, or even the second season😂
