To me I think he's a brilliant scientist, he came up with the idea to crank the Hextech, and I'm pretty sure he contributed a whole lot in making it work.

@@rosethz2474 I am not denying that at all. They are most certainly equal partners. That said, the deck is stacked for Jayce to be the face of Hextech.

The fact that the Hextech became more important to Viktor than to Jayce. I felt as if Viktor was the real scientist behind the comprehension of the Hexgems while Jayce is more like the engineer & blacksmith/craftman.
It's because they have different end goals. Viktor sees hextech as a way to make the world better (and later on as a way to save himself/ secure his legacy), while Jayce sees hextech as a puzzle to solve and a tool for "progress", whatever that means
From what I understand, viktor what's to make life better for everyone and especially those in need and Jayce just wants progress and recognition in the end.
@@brook_angel jayce wants the same thing The difference is how they use their time. Jayce has more time to pursue his goals than Viktor and in the end he killed an innocent woman over time
@@ntbored7727 jayce practically revels in the spotlight and dismisses Viktor's concerns for accessibility. He becomes a politician under Mel's thumb pushing away Viktor and his ideas and concerns. He wasn't like that from the beginning tho. Also Viktor didn't really Sky. It was more of a workplace accident if anything. Jayce however shot a child while raiding a factory... So there's that.
3:19 "Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom?" Why tf did you IMMEDIATELY think of the bedroom when you're sneaking into Heimer's lab with another man, Viktor?
Poor Viktor.... He is only trying to make people's life better since he better than anyone knows what the limitations of the human body can do to someone. He is not evil just misunderstood
I'm here to seek comfort after season 2 episode 9... When I saw 1:53 I realised I have to watch Arcane from the beginning again because the creators probably hid a lot of things there
Me before Arcane: I will never simp. (Spoilers below. I thought everyone already knew this, sorry ;-;) Me now, knowing that Viktor becomes a cyborg who turns people into machines: _as he should. as he ABSOLUTELY should. flawless king._
@@rumpalug in OP’s defense this is well known and the show is made knowing most will know some surface-level lol lore, either before going into it or from research after watching arcane to figure out who is which champion etc. it won’t impact your viewing experience so don’t worry much abt it
"Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom" as if it would've been easily explained for them to be sneaking into Viktors bedroom in the middle of the night 😏
All these people complaining about why two men can't be just friends anymore can't even name 5 canon male romantic couples in mainstream media smh. Jayce and Viktor are now destined to be together in every timeline and universe. That kind of arc is usually attributed to epic romantic couples.
THANK YOU PLEASE WHY ARE PEOPLE SO PISSED "ugh everything is gay now" well sorry for finally getting actual good representation???? please, straight ppl have gotten EVERYTHING for millenia and now us suddenly being seen as human beyond queerness is wrong apparently
the fact that those people only complain when they are both men but if Viktor/Jayce was a woman they'd be like "oohhh so much chemistry, oh my god perfect couple 😳😭" Also, like... the problem isnt that men cant show emotions or love between each other without being called gay, the REAL problem is some men thinking that being called gay is bad... So insecure You spittin facts btw
All down with shippings and headcanons, but Arcane's head writer Christian Linke had already confirmed that their relationship is only brotherly, not romantic.
If you read the lore, viktor and jayce were never friends but more like a 2 mad scientists with different ways of doing things are helping each other for their own gain and their inventions.
By the LoL lore, Jayce is also supose to be a white man with blue eyes and working for the Giopara family, the patreons who give him the crystals in first place. But Arcane is not going to follow the LoL lore. I love that there's not 'actual' lore since every game (LoL, LoR, Wild Rifth, etc) are taking different aproachs to the characters. Is like a "chose your own history, enjoy the multiverse" 😎
@@ian_cris I think every game has is own lore. Yeah, they are inspired in the same universe, but sometime there's contradictions in the comics/short storys of LoL and the cards in LoR. LoR's lore is good as compliment and expansion of the universe, but didn't replace the actual lore of LoL.
@@estrellaescobar5723 The lore of LoR is the most recent and expanded in many ways, it makes sense Arcane takes a lot of this game to tell the rest, also very presumably Arcane is the new canon, either because of its popularity in addition to how much Riot is connecting the plots and character relationships, which is probably Riot's new direction in lore. It wouldn't be strange for LoL to upgrade his lore to suit Arcane
[Spoiler:] I love Viktor´s playfulness so much! When he kept Jayce from jumping to death the first thing he does is teasing him about being egotistical which makes Jayce angry, but also snaps him right out of his fatalistic despair. Later in the last episode after Jayce repays the favor he just dwells in a bit of self-pity going on about the past when everything used to make sense. And here it is Viktor again who tries to tease him out of his gloomy mood when Jayce remembers an incident of himself messing up and feeling embarrassed to which Viktor only replies: "At least you didn´t throw up." I admire how he is able to be funny just moments after feeling such despair that he almost took his own life. And he is not even doing it to deflect from his feelings, but only to lighten up Jayce´s mood.
I love that Viktor was using his cane to bar the door. such a subtle way to reiterate how he was staking everything on this. his stability, his comfort, his potential, everything. on day one.
2021 and people still think that you need to have a "valid reason" to ship lmao. You really think I care if Jayce sees Viktor as a brother/partner, so what, it's fiction, it doesn't affect your life.
In the show, VI and Jinx kind of took the spotlight, but I absolutely love the way they shaped Viktor - ambitious, enthusiast but also depressingly weak, no wonder his future prospects are machine oriented - flesh grows weak, robotics don't
I just think it’s a bit odd how they made Jayce say “he’s like a brother to me.” They’ve clearly seen all the jayvik shippers (which have existed long before arcane was a thing, by the way) If they really didn’t want to make them an actual mlm couple, they could’ve still gone through with the show with Jayce having never said that line. Like damn, Vik got brotherzoned so hard. LoL already has two wlw couples (Diana/Leona and Caitlyn/Vi), meanwhile a whole ass Twisted Fate and Graves exists and they were going to be husbands but that idea was shut down. Why is Riot so allergic to mlm couples, come on. First TF and Graves, now Jayvik..
I honestly think this show has been in production so long they had no idea about jayvik being a thing since it wasn't really 'big' before this at all... but they also seem to not know any other word to describe two men who are close to each other lmao they brotherzone m/m ships a lot
@@cokecan6169 I already mentioned in my comment that Diana/Leona are another wlw ship, they were censored before, until Riot finally made them canon recently. Plus, Neeko is also a confirmed lesbian character. Not to mention that not every relationship is sexual?? Funny how you say “why does everything have to be sexual” when a whole ass straight sex scene is playing while Viktor is struggling to live lmao, but go off I guess. “It’s annoying when people ship any two male characters resembling friendship.” Okay but you could say the same about literally anything, people do the exact same thing with female and male characters. Literally look at Jayce and Caitlyn, they have a big age difference and an almost sibling dynamic, but people still ship them because according to them, “they are obviously flirting” and “you don’t look at a sibling like that.” See, here’s the thing, I don’t mind Jayce and Viktor not being canon, but what I do mind is the fact that they instantly shut down the shippers by saying they have a “brotherly” relationship. Like man, now it just feels weird. They didn’t even hit us with the “and historians said they were good friends”, Viktor just immediately got brotherzoned lmaoooo.
@@cokecan6169 I agree to an extent but that’s just people being afraid of being perceived as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, which in turn is an unwitting display of their underlying homophobic tendencies. (before you say anything about homophobia, reminder that gay people can be homophobic too) As the LGBTQ+ community begins to grow more accepted in our society, those fears will go away. It’s also a result of people being insecure of their sexualities, homophobes exist and the fear of judgement is what causes those problems. So, not to be redundant but that’s why I believe that things will change as people become more accepting. Normalizing those types of relationships will improve the state of society for most people. I hope you realize that the LGBTQ+ community needs those, as you call them, “cringe” relationships, they’ve had literally nothing which is why this is the most basic thing that can be done for them. A lot of people create gay characters just for the clout and money, it’s unfortunate and disgusting that they’re using a minority for their own gain, but it at the very least helps us begin the process of normalizing those relationships. Anyways, as much of an interesting conversation this was, I don’t like making long TH-cam threads so this will be my last reply. Thank you good day.
I just finished the show and the first scene in this video punched me in the gut. Victor looks so healthy, his limp is barely even noticeable. His body failed him so quickly
okay but the absolute tragedy of viktor, our baby, our beloved, our spicy little pepperoni, our boy, being gay and desperately in love with a straight man ?? and viktor is slowly dying and they both know it, and he's struggling to complete his life's work with jayce but he can see jayce drifting away from him, being stained by flawed piltovan morals and logic ??? and the dual pain of heartbreak and jayce's betrayal to their original idea of improving life and helping the undercity ???????????? *cries*
If they did ever make a scene where they both confessed their love or smth, i would imagine Viktor would say some cheesy shit like "I've never been able to walk normally, but you *literally* made me fly Jayce"
I'm glad that this was the first video of Arcane I watched 3 years ago. It convinced me not to miss out on such an amazing journey. JayVik you'll always be famous 😭
I've been playing LoL for 8 years, and I never realized Viktor has an accent lmao. In my defense, I'm Eastern-European, so Russian accents just sound like normal English to me.
at 3:19 if someone were to fall for Viktor's little act, it would still be suspicious like... why are you bringing Jayce to your bedroom in the middle of the night huh? HUH?
This video just made me realise that the series was already showing the way Viktor was going. Because Heimerdinger said: No no no. Magic is too dangerous in the WRONG HANDS. And then Viktor just grabs Jayce's notes. (Yes i know he wasn't a good guy in the game. Yes i know that the hardcore LoL fans would have noticed that earlier. Please let me have my cool detail realisation moment and let my inner child be happy that she found out something about her favorite character of a show she likes. Thank you very much.)

It's because they have different end goals. Viktor sees hextech as a way to make the world better (and later on as a way to save himself/ secure his legacy), while Jayce sees hextech as a puzzle to solve and a tool for "progress", whatever that means
Only one of them was running out of time.
From what I understand, viktor what's to make life better for everyone and especially those in need and Jayce just wants progress and recognition in the end.
@@brook_angel jayce wants the same thing
The difference is how they use their time. Jayce has more time to pursue his goals than Viktor and in the end he killed an innocent woman over time
@@ntbored7727 jayce practically revels in the spotlight and dismisses Viktor's concerns for accessibility. He becomes a politician under Mel's thumb pushing away Viktor and his ideas and concerns. He wasn't like that from the beginning tho.
Also Viktor didn't really Sky. It was more of a workplace accident if anything.
Jayce however shot a child while raiding a factory... So there's that.
this is gonna make the divorce hurt even more >:(

I'm a lesbian, but all these characters are incredibly attractive, and FOR WHAT!!!

All these people complaining about why two men can't be just friends anymore can't even name 5 canon male romantic couples in mainstream media smh. Jayce and Viktor are now destined to be together in every timeline and universe. That kind of arc is usually attributed to epic romantic couples.
i love you
THANK YOU PLEASE WHY ARE PEOPLE SO PISSED "ugh everything is gay now" well sorry for finally getting actual good representation???? please, straight ppl have gotten EVERYTHING for millenia and now us suddenly being seen as human beyond queerness is wrong apparently
PREACH LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK ❤❤❤
the fact that those people only complain when they are both men but if Viktor/Jayce was a woman they'd be like "oohhh so much chemistry, oh my god perfect couple 😳😭" Also, like... the problem isnt that men cant show emotions or love between each other without being called gay, the REAL problem is some men thinking that being called gay is bad... So insecure
You spittin facts btw
All down with shippings and headcanons, but Arcane's head writer Christian Linke had already confirmed that their relationship is only brotherly, not romantic.
If you read the lore, viktor and jayce were never friends but more like a 2 mad scientists with different ways of doing things are helping each other for their own gain and their inventions.
Lore of League has bewn changed multiple times already, its gonna change again
By the LoL lore, Jayce is also supose to be a white man with blue eyes and working for the Giopara family, the patreons who give him the crystals in first place. But Arcane is not going to follow the LoL lore.
I love that there's not 'actual' lore since every game (LoL, LoR, Wild Rifth, etc) are taking different aproachs to the characters. Is like a "chose your own history, enjoy the multiverse" 😎
@@estrellaescobar5723 LoR is actually canon, and introduced many new characters from piltover and zaun
@@ian_cris I think every game has is own lore. Yeah, they are inspired in the same universe, but sometime there's contradictions in the comics/short storys of LoL and the cards in LoR. LoR's lore is good as compliment and expansion of the universe, but didn't replace the actual lore of LoL.
@@estrellaescobar5723 The lore of LoR is the most recent and expanded in many ways, it makes sense Arcane takes a lot of this game to tell the rest, also very presumably Arcane is the new canon, either because of its popularity in addition to how much Riot is connecting the plots and character relationships, which is probably Riot's new direction in lore. It wouldn't be strange for LoL to upgrade his lore to suit Arcane
I love that his first reaction to being caught is "wait a minute this isnt my bedroom to where I am bringing my boyfriend at night" I LOVE HIM aaa
Their eventual separation in the future is gonna hurt lol
yeah Victor becoming a villan is sad
@@mistercat5300 not really a villain
@@mistercat5300 it’s more of a vigilante vibe for me.
I falling in love whit someone can brake my heart?
So, have you watched season 2 already? 🥲
Viktor is so full of conviction and hope during Act I. He’s expressive and witty. By the time Act II rolls around he’s a shell of a man in comparison.
True. He changed so much, not only physically 🥺
I love how Viktor just immediately whips out those keys planning to do a crime like its no big deal 😅
[Spoiler:] I love Viktor´s playfulness so much! When he kept Jayce from jumping to death the first thing he does is teasing him about being egotistical which makes Jayce angry, but also snaps him right out of his fatalistic despair. Later in the last episode after Jayce repays the favor he just dwells in a bit of self-pity going on about the past when everything used to make sense. And here it is Viktor again who tries to tease him out of his gloomy mood when Jayce remembers an incident of himself messing up and feeling embarrassed to which Viktor only replies: "At least you didn´t throw up." I admire how he is able to be funny just moments after feeling such despair that he almost took his own life. And he is not even doing it to deflect from his feelings, but only to lighten up Jayce´s mood.
I love that Viktor was using his cane to bar the door. such a subtle way to reiterate how he was staking everything on this. his stability, his comfort, his potential, everything. on day one.
at 1:34, when Viktor says ''I simply believed in myself'' you can see a third eyeshine appear in his eyes and i think that is beautiful.
my fyp showing me this after watching season 2 act 3 is kinda fucked up and wholesome at the same time *cries in jayvik final scene*
no seriously why would they do that to us 💔
2021 and people still think that you need to have a "valid reason" to ship lmao. You really think I care if Jayce sees Viktor as a brother/partner, so what, it's fiction, it doesn't affect your life.
Well said!
Fr they arent real people, people get so mad over works of fiction lmao
Yeah but the problem starts to arise when we're discussing lore and the ships are brought out as fact

Viktor made a gay joke for his cover story I love this man
now theyre literally cosmic soulmates
In the show, VI and Jinx kind of took the spotlight, but I absolutely love the way they shaped Viktor - ambitious, enthusiast but also depressingly weak, no wonder his future prospects are machine oriented - flesh grows weak, robotics don't
no liver, replaced by tech, no heart, replaced by tech, no red cells, replaced by tech, no brain, replaced by tech. No soul, replaced by tech.
Unless you throw sand at it
“ Now, all I want is my partner back “
kinda ironic of heimerdinger to despise magic while he himself is a creature of magic..
He didnt exaclty despise magic he just dont want people messing with it cause is really dangerous as the rune war done a lot of damage to the world
Well Yordoles are similar to Ionian they reach harmony with magic so they know how to used it without draging other people.
he dont despise it, he fears how easily it corrupts all species when feeling its power
i feel so _normal_ watching this now
I just think it’s a bit odd how they made Jayce say “he’s like a brother to me.” They’ve clearly seen all the jayvik shippers (which have existed long before arcane was a thing, by the way) If they really didn’t want to make them an actual mlm couple, they could’ve still gone through with the show with Jayce having never said that line. Like damn, Vik got brotherzoned so hard. LoL already has two wlw couples (Diana/Leona and Caitlyn/Vi), meanwhile a whole ass Twisted Fate and Graves exists and they were going to be husbands but that idea was shut down. Why is Riot so allergic to mlm couples, come on. First TF and Graves, now Jayvik..
I honestly think this show has been in production so long they had no idea about jayvik being a thing since it wasn't really 'big' before this at all... but they also seem to not know any other word to describe two men who are close to each other lmao they brotherzone m/m ships a lot
@@cokecan6169 ok name me one canon riot m/m ship vs canon m/m friendships
yeah that's what I thought
The fact that the sx scene overlayed with viktor dying, they knew what they were doing
@@cokecan6169 I already mentioned in my comment that Diana/Leona are another wlw ship, they were censored before, until Riot finally made them canon recently. Plus, Neeko is also a confirmed lesbian character. Not to mention that not every relationship is sexual?? Funny how you say “why does everything have to be sexual” when a whole ass straight sex scene is playing while Viktor is struggling to live lmao, but go off I guess.
“It’s annoying when people ship any two male characters resembling friendship.” Okay but you could say the same about literally anything, people do the exact same thing with female and male characters. Literally look at Jayce and Caitlyn, they have a big age difference and an almost sibling dynamic, but people still ship them because according to them, “they are obviously flirting” and “you don’t look at a sibling like that.”
See, here’s the thing, I don’t mind Jayce and Viktor not being canon, but what I do mind is the fact that they instantly shut down the shippers by saying they have a “brotherly” relationship. Like man, now it just feels weird. They didn’t even hit us with the “and historians said they were good friends”, Viktor just immediately got brotherzoned lmaoooo.
@@cokecan6169 I agree to an extent but that’s just people being afraid of being perceived as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, which in turn is an unwitting display of their underlying homophobic tendencies. (before you say anything about homophobia, reminder that gay people can be homophobic too) As the LGBTQ+ community begins to grow more accepted in our society, those fears will go away. It’s also a result of people being insecure of their sexualities, homophobes exist and the fear of judgement is what causes those problems. So, not to be redundant but that’s why I believe that things will change as people become more accepting. Normalizing those types of relationships will improve the state of society for most people. I hope you realize that the LGBTQ+ community needs those, as you call them, “cringe” relationships, they’ve had literally nothing which is why this is the most basic thing that can be done for them. A lot of people create gay characters just for the clout and money, it’s unfortunate and disgusting that they’re using a minority for their own gain, but it at the very least helps us begin the process of normalizing those relationships. Anyways, as much of an interesting conversation this was, I don’t like making long TH-cam threads so this will be my last reply. Thank you good day.
I never thought I'd be so invested in Viktor because of his voice, and I don't even play the guy in LoL.
0:48 Sorry but all I can think of is:
“I saved your life”
“You didn’t save my life, you ruined my death! That’s what you did”
OMG BSD REFERENCE?! DAZAI AND VIKTOR ARE THE ONLY 2 MEN I WILL EVER LOVE
Jayvik is so real with the end
That scene of them hovering together in Heimerdinger’a lab is just… woo! Beautiful! Life-changing!
I miss their sweet and innocent era. I want my boys back.
Mel: _"this is my boyfriend Jayce, and this is his boyfriend Viktor."_
how are we feeling about this now chat
I'm destroyed.
Im restored.
I miss him
I miss him too :(
I’m crying so hard in all timelines in all possibilities 😭😭😭
When Viktor says "I don't know how to do that sir" to Heimer it sounds like the Indian guy from the vine "help me I am under da water oooh"
4:13 oh my god... the gear.... 🥹
RIGHT?!
has Viktor been holding onto it this whole time?
I just finished the show and the first scene in this video punched me in the gut. Victor looks so healthy, his limp is barely even noticeable. His body failed him so quickly
okay but the absolute tragedy of viktor, our baby, our beloved, our spicy little pepperoni, our boy, being gay and desperately in love with a straight man ?? and viktor is slowly dying and they both know it, and he's struggling to complete his life's work with jayce but he can see jayce drifting away from him, being stained by flawed piltovan morals and logic ??? and the dual pain of heartbreak and jayce's betrayal to their original idea of improving life and helping the undercity ???????????? *cries*
You realize bisexuality is a thing, right? You're going to be ruined by S2.
If they did ever make a scene where they both confessed their love or smth, i would imagine Viktor would say some cheesy shit like "I've never been able to walk normally, but you *literally* made me fly Jayce"
Here after season 2… jayvik nation we really won
Here after season 2 act 3...i have no words...
“When you’re going to change the world, don’t ask for permission.”
Such a great quote victor is best boi
I'm glad that this was the first video of Arcane I watched 3 years ago. It convinced me not to miss out on such an amazing journey. JayVik you'll always be famous 😭
"OUR hextech dream"
*communist music starts playing*
I just now noticed in the scene Viktor is taking Jayce’s book, Heimerdinger is saying “Magic is far too dangerous in the wrong hands.”
I've been playing LoL for 8 years, and I never realized Viktor has an accent lmao.
In my defense, I'm Eastern-European, so Russian accents just sound like normal English to me.
It hurts seeing this after S2.
It's killing me how that Viktor says " wait that wasn't the bedroom "😂😂 3:22
1:04 I'M IN LOVE WITH THE "eh, a little agotistical, don't you think?"
BROOO BRO, 1:08 he says that Jayce signs his all his notes which means he read through ALL of his notes RAGGHHAH IM GOING BONKERS PLS SOMEONE HELP
I'M SCREECHING, I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT-
"Wait a minute, this isn't my bedroom."
HAHAHAHHA I loved it🤣🤣💖
It aged like wine after S2 act 3
2:08 viktor has the most beautiful side profile and no one can change my mind
not me sobbing grotesquely at this because of the finale
Viktors impressions are always so strong. His accent is amazing
I have never been this attached to a gay ship in my whole life
I have a bad obsession with viktor. And his voice. It’s bad. But like- OMFG IS HE PRETTY 😭😍
YOU WERE ALWAYS CORRECT
3:14
IF YOUR LOOKING FOR YOUR BEDROOM, THAN WHAT’S JAYCE DOING WITH YOU???
Absolutely love this. Like that was the first cover up Viktor thought of.😂
Guys I want them to be together so bad it’s not fair LMAO
This hurts so much after the ending 😭😭
this aged so well
at 3:19 if someone were to fall for Viktor's little act, it would still be suspicious like... why are you bringing Jayce to your bedroom in the middle of the night huh? HUH?
Not this showing up in my recommended after the show finale.
Viktor: "It's in heimerdinger's lab" *summons keys*
Jayce: *immediate panic*
ok but where the hell did the keys even come from
Coming back to this video makes me so fucking miserable- ugh I love them 😭😭😭
2:10 WTF IS EVEN THAT BOY YOU CAN'T BE THAT CUTEEEEEEEE HELPPPPPPP 😭😭😭
he single handedly became my favourite character, tugged at my heart strings too much ngl
the end was so gay
cant agree more
This video just made me realise that the series was already showing the way Viktor was going.
Because Heimerdinger said: No no no. Magic is too dangerous in the WRONG HANDS.
And then Viktor just grabs Jayce's notes.
(Yes i know he wasn't a good guy in the game. Yes i know that the hardcore LoL fans would have noticed that earlier. Please let me have my cool detail realisation moment and let my inner child be happy that she found out something about her favorite character of a show she likes. Thank you very much.)
