Fishbones in the game was never just some quirky toddler schtick all along. The hextech weapon she was making was custom-made for her dad who loves sea monsters :))))
@@OnlyCualquiera Speaking of things not realized. Remember that cutting lazer shown in i think ep 4? you know what Viktor has in game on his shoulder? a fuckin lazer arm. I didn't come to that realization until a few days ago.
i dont think its a shark specifically because her dad likes sea monsters, in the early episodes we see that there is a drawing of fishbones the rocket, so jinx has wanted to build a shark launcher since she was young
I love how morally grey the series is, silco makes a fantastic character especially during this episode when he visits a statue of vander and exclaims he now understands what it’s like when you have someone to lose, and how it’s changed him. Don’t get me wrong he’s still a bastard, but he has reason for his actions and his motives clearly change when he is offered zaun in exchange for jinx.
"don't cry, you're perfect" One line to make me sympathise over a character that i was hoping to die for 9 episodes long. Silco you bastard i can't hate you now😩
@@danzansandeev6033 Yeah, the show is so intense on every front (visually, sound, music (ymmv), story telling, visual story telling, emotions ....) The first watch you barely have time to process anything.
A thing most people I’ve seen miss, with that moment where Vi kept telling Jinx to remember who she is, Silco understood that it was actually hurting her instead of helping. He recognizes that Jinx’s past is something that actively harms her, something that Vi who can only see her as Powder fails to recognize. This is why Silco fires at Vi, and it also circles back to Vi’s story of imaginary monsters. Also, man, notice, unlike Vi who freaking punched Powder when she accidentally killed Mylo and Claggor, here with Silco she doesn't berate or blame her for what she did. He instead comforts her and affirms that she's perfect the way she is. It's fucking sad man, how dare they make me cry for the man who did so many heinous shit.
Yeah that was something I didn't realize until I rewatched it, but goddamn the writers killed it. Obviously Vi's intentions were good, but shouting out a series of trigger-words at Jinx probably isn't the best move to deescalate a situation.
no silco doesnt recognize shit. Just cause silco loves jinx like a daughter doesnt mean he did good to her. silco just wants her to be jinx, and instead of helping her deal with the past his advice is to just completely kill it , ignore it. If powder had a good parental figure, she wouldn' be so traume full.
@@deliii395 it's actually pretty obvious that Silco does recognize this. He wants her to be Jinx because he very clearly recognizes that's who she has become. You're also misinterpreting the broader meaning of him telling Jinx to let Powder die. It's not about ignoring the past, it's about accepting it and moving forward. Additionally, the idea that Powder's trauma would have been mitigated by simply having a better parental figure is a gross oversimplification of her complex trauma and mental health issues. Silco's supportiveness of Jinx was extremely Vander-like, and something nobody else in the show had ever fully committed to, even Vi. I would even argue that, for someone in Jinx's headspace, having a supportive and accepting parental figure is more important than having them just be a good role model.
The painting is of Noxus. By messing it up with brushstrokes of gold, the color of Piltover, Mel at last renounced her original home and family for the new one with Jayce.
@@rxf_ nah they were full grown adults probably, or like deckard was in the first act, a teenager with the shimmer, but seeing their combat skills we can assume that they were adults buffed with it
Jinx’s dynamic and relationship with her fatherly figures, ie Vander and Silco, were truly tragic and extremely nuance because they were both accidentally killed by her which truly says something about her introspective conflict and that scene where Silco sits beside Vander’s memorial just makes it a butt tonne more painful as they both had the same intentions of protecting her but her mental psychosis was the true antagonist that consumed her and inevitably corrupted her mind of clarity and judgement.
She clearly has mental issues, the problem here is where she is, there are plenty people who have her problems who live good lives she just never had the right support systems, whether it be due to poverty or in Silcos case his own trauma ridden mentality. Back with Vander she never got affirmation in the way she needed even then she showed promise in her combat abilities with her shooting and such but it was never acknowledged as something worthwhile and she was constantly compared to her sister by Mylo. But at Silcos she was never given that moral grounding that she had at Vanders and while imo he loved her too due to his own corrupted vision of the world he couldn't see what he was saying wasn't helping her the way he thought it did. None of this would even be an issue if there wasn't such inequality between the two cities thought. She could have had a good life with help from family and loved ones. But instead she was stuck in this neverending slide down into hell.
yeah, maybe read the comment ? Did I say there would be peace? I said they agreed to giving them independence instead of turning a blind eye or even worse, resort to violence. Her blowing up the council ruins the chance of the situation being settled in a civil fashion.
@@zir456 with silco dead, there is no condition anymore, no contract. All I'm saying is that the council was already willing to give them their independence, but being blasted by a rocket launcher is only going to give zaun an even more negative perception, thus they might not want to even entertain the idea of giving them independence.
@@zir456 Tbh fam the council can probably be convinced not to take Jinx, Silco didn't try very hard to make the argument for keeping her, he could've appealed to Jayces emotions by saying she is like a daughter to him and is all he has in the world, but he didn't. If all of the councillors voted for peace, it's very possible they'd agree to an altered agreement as well, the fact they voted for peace *at all* is already the first step towards a full agreement
While I enjoyed Arcane more than breaking bad (preference of genres), breaking bad did stay an amazing show for all seasons while this is only one season. We can only hope the following seasons can meet the standards of S1
@@FrostDK98 Brraking Bad s1 is arguably weaker than this, although I love it for how it sets up ALL of the themes that are resolved by s5. So in an apples to apples comparison, without the context of the 4 following seasons, this is justified to be on the same spot as BB. However, if in 5 seasons the show keeps this same level, then I'll be REALLY impressed. Act 3 was an amazing thing, truly top tier television front to back, and a great finale.
You know its a good show if the streamer gave it alot of doubts at first then ending up falling in love with it. I all your video reactions with Arcane.
24:26 The painting is Fed up because it represent that after everything her mother did to her, a part of her still missed Noxus(the place she is from), because the ships on the painting are Noxus ships, they have the signiture red and black that represent Noxus, you can tell her mother is a Noxian just by looking at her bc of the scars and the colors. Mel noticed her mother knew something inside her wanted to go back, and was trying to exploit that, because her mother saw her painting, that's why Mel destroyed it at the end, as a F U to her mother.
So I think people think that Silco had just been manipulating Jinx this whole time but I disagree. Not only was he incredibly supportive of her from the beginning, but he clearly genuinely thought Vi was dead. Marcus lied to him and told him she was dead when instead he had her locked up in the safest place to leave her as far as Silco's power extends. Still Water Prison. So he told Jinx the information he knew. That Vi was dead. And if you look at the way he acts in this episode when Jayce asks him for Jinx, it's the first time he averts his gaze and looks uncomfortable. He makes excuses for her and tries and fails to bargain with Jayce. Later at the statue of Vander he sounds remorseful about the deal, he's clearly hesitating and regrets the fact that he won't be able to go through with it. Further punctuated by the fact that he criticised Vander for doing what he was planning on doing now. Protecting his adoptive daughter and forsaking his dream of an independent nation of Zaun. And in his final moments, he doesn't criticise Jinx, nor does he berate her for killing him. He absolves her. It's a reflection of what happened when she was a kid at the factory. Where Vi slaps her and berates her, Silco tells her its okay, its not her fault and that she's perfect. I'm not saying this to shit on Vi either. She's a kid and she was only a kid with too much responsibility, more than she could handle at that age. It's natural she would make a mistake like that. But if people don't see that Silco genuinely cared for Jinx and related to her suffering from episode 3, then you weren't paying enough attention
I mean, he thought Vi was dead, because Marcus told him. But had Marcus told him she was alive in prison he'd still would have killed her without a second thought and not told Jinx he was the one who had done it. He was always going to kill Vi. His love for Jinx was selfish and codependent.
Yes, Silco actually cared for her, but he was harmful to her nonetheless. Blind validation for everything is not a good way to deal with hurt people and neither is Vi’s method of flipping out and getting mad. Both are understandable, but both are also wrong and harmful.
@@j.prt.979 None of that long comment is to say Silco was GOOD for Jinx, just that everyone thinks he didn't care or was only manipulating her when in fact he did care and did what he thought was right. It was wrong, but he did it with good intentions
if you pay attention : the kid had both a gas mask, and a badge on his shirt. He wasn't working with the others, he was sent here by his mom to "learn the business" I guess.
The one Silco wants to shoot is Vi because Vi remind Jinx about her dark memories, Vi hurts Jinx and Silco dont like that, so he want to shoots Vi. Not Jinx.
Nope, he wanted to kill Vi because Silco saw that he was losing her to Vi. I don't know how some people can misunderstand that: Powder literally shoot Silco to save Vi, that act speak everything. Vi reminded her of their losses because they wer family and that she have to remember, even if it's painful. In the end Powder undestood that she is the one to make the choice: killing Vi and Cait would have made her Jinx, killing Silco would have made he Powder, but in the end she killed Silco and Powder choose to be called Jinx aniway in contrast with the choice she previously presented to Vi.
@@bilibangbang He loves Jinx so much and doesn't want to lose her, it's very human and understandable, but for sure it was his selfish love of Jinx (Not persay a bad thing, it's very parental!) that lead him to pull the gun and try to shoot Vi, who was trying to take her away from him.
when you first started this series making comparisons to breaking bad, i thought your expectations might have been set too high. glad you enjoyed it as much as you did though. the show’s got flaws, but there’s so much more to love about it that you learn to just overlook a lot of them. definitely a groundbreaking series for what it was able to accomplish
The final scene with Singed has him looking a locket with his daughter Rio on it (she looks just like Orianna who bio lines up with his but was never confirmed) along with Vander shown chain up. Singed has been experimenting on him.
perfect ending, jinx is now in her finished form. emanzipated from vi ( she left cait alife) and she choce vi over silco (i think silco wanted to shoot vi), she has the super weapons her pinks eyes and is ready to start.
it was great re-experiencing this series with you! you’ve been one of my favorite reactors for a while now so i get excited when you react to things i enjoy (and especially when you enjoy them too). last video i recommended you check out necrit’s videos for easter eggs, breakdowns, more champion lore, etc. still highly recommend it if you want to see all of the little details you may have missed, like at the end there with singed - we see him look at a locket of a girl (possibly his daughter, who is possibly orianna) and we see warwick hanging in the foreground (possibly vander). anyway, once again i really enjoyed this reaction series :)
(goddamnit.. one more..) one thing you kind of missed was the episode titles.. every single one of them really *really* nailed the theme.. "oil & water", "the base violence necessary for change"; "the monster you created"? like, holy sh*t, these guys were masters of their craft..
Thanks for bringing put these reactions so fast. I enjoyed watching all of them and i will continue to be a consistent viewer of your channel. Keep of the good work👍
ambessa medarda (mel's mom) didnt banish mel because she had sympathy but because ambessa could'nt help but feel bad and unable to make the decisions she makes whenever mel gave her the look of disapproval at her every choice. Choices that kept mel, and the rest of the family alive. It's easier to make difficult choices when the people you love aren't there to judge you. It just shows that mel is the most important person to ambessa.
A lot of people missed that extra detail the animator's threw into her eyes when she spoke those lines. The tough old bird actually looked genuinely hurt that her daughter didn't understand why she did what she did. Mel made her question her morals, which I gathered from reading between the lines that any such momentary weakness of conviction would cost them their lives if she allowed it to continue. She may be a ruthless leader, but she's still loves her daughter immensely.
@@Dilligff yeah she didnt want to look like a monster infront of mel and that's why she banished mel. It's a very extreme meausure but it's kind of understandable and it's also understandable why mel would stand against her mom due to idealogical differences even though she clearly loves her family too.
I just realized that the ending with jinx shooting that missile is just like when she blew up the hole place up in episode 3, she did the same thing again, killed people and made the situation worse, if she didn't blew up that place vender and her friends would have lived, and in the end if she didn't short the missile the council would have aproved jayces idea and would have "freed" the undercity. Its sad to say but jinx lived up to her name again. Also fuck the guy that spoiled the series for you, like why would you spoil the literal ending, what an ashole, but lesson learned for future projects I guess. Loved the series, and love your reactions.
i loved this series and was so excited everyday to come back and see your reaction to each episode, first time seeing your channel was the episode 1 reaction and i’m so happy i stuck around to the finale!! consider me subscribed
I really like these series. The animation is excellent, the characters are well-developed, and the plot is compelling. The attention to detail is amazing. I also think that the second act was the weakest part, but it's necessary in order to achieve a more exciting ending. Also, I really loved these reaction series, please react to other series!
The reason why Mel’s painting is all messed up is because Mel painted over it. That is a painting of Mel’s home (Noxus). She painted over it/messed it up as sign of showing discontent or disagreement with her Mother and Noxus. That’s the message that Mel’s mom will get upon seeing that messed up painting.
In the season 2 announcement, we got a tease about Warwick, and in the ending when singed shows up, he has someone hanging, its Vander, and he is turning him into Warwick.
when you said: whos head is in there i laughed so hard because i was thinking the same when i saw that scene its so funny thats everbody was thinking the same hahaha XD
Fun Fact: the guy who plays Finn (the Asian dude in the yellow jacket with the metal jaw) is actually Miyavi, a famous Japanese rockstar. He also collaborated with PVRIS for the song “Snakes” (he played guitar) which was being played during the Vi and Jayce fight.
This show is honestly heartbreaking. Powder just needed to be loved by the right person. But because she was with the wrong people and thought that her sister abandoned her for years she become something she should not have become. I want nothing more for her to be happy and loved again, but it will probably never happen now. :( Also, Vi fucked up big time obviously when she left Powder alone and when she hit her. She immediately noticed though, but it was too late, this one mistake fucked everything up.
I loved seeing you love this. I've disagreed with you on albums in the past, so I was so excited to see how this would hit you. I'm glad that people whose taste I respect enjoy this show. I thought I may have been caught up in the fanfare, as I just started playing League in January, but no. Multiple reactions and analyses have reaffirmed that, yes, it is good. The art is nearly unique, but reminiscent of works such as Borderlands, Guitar Hero, and many more. All of the [main] characters had dynamic arcs, fleshed out personalities, well-defined motivations, and exactly how you'd expect those characters to interact. The show threw surprises at you, but it was more in the display of how things were than in the story direction. Then again, sometimes you have moments like Jinx's firelight bombs on the bridge, and that fight is unforgettable. The choreography and fighting was well-executed, and made you feel exhilaration watching the conflicts. It also stuck out to me during episode 5 or 6 or whatever it was how you pointed out Viktor's face showed he was thinking about how Jayce wasn't with him while working on the Hexcore. To me, that confirms that the animation is way more intense than most other works I've seen. They took their medium, and pushed it not quite to its limits. But they took every opportunity to make a visual statement, in the vein of "show, don't tell". I agree with your rating. Not much to complain about. In fact, even the Imagine Dragons song has grown on me, if only because it's tied to such a fantastic thrill ride.
Silco was the only one who could accept Jinx as who she was. He wouldve accepted her as Powder or Jinx, but he knew she really was Jinx. Vi turned her back on Jinx, denying Jinx even existed. she had this nostalgic iealistic vision of Powder. and when Jinx accidentaly kills Silco in a panic, Silco isnt mad at her. he doesnt blame her, unlike Vi in ep 3. He loves her, more than anything. from villain to living father.. what a guy
Vander betrayed Silco and tried to kill him for peace, basically. As SIlco said, he would burn the city to the ground before forsaking Jinx like Vander forsaked him.
Here's my review I did not too long ago: I wasn't expecting this to resonate so heavily with the things that I love, I want to preface this by saying that I have not played League Of Legends and do not overly seem interested in playing it. This series however give me so much kept my interest through a different medium for the whole thing without having any prior knowledge of the game, which is a testament to the writing of the show because it shouldn't work on paper. I love animation, a part of me wants to say I love it more than film but I think they both break off two ends of the stick that are the same length in my opinion. Film is the most honest performance you can capture in real time capturing raw emotion, while animation is better at pushing the fantastical elements and exaggerating them to its fullest through stylistic interpretation. Arcane give me everything I was missing from animation, while also giving me something entirely different with a fantastical world and subversive character-driven writing. It sets the stage with what you'd expect but also pulls the rug from underneath you, it takes advantage of its 15 rating, while also not being over excessive with language or violence. It's all there and it's pretty cool and all but it's about presentation, this streampunk world mixed with the right of sci-fi feels like a place I want to go! The animation is fluid and beautiful, everything is watercolored over 3D and there's also hand animated stuff it's so special that we have cinema animation for a show like this, the characters are also part of this package. Powder and Vi sell the show, we get to see Vi progression, how she doesn't like getting treated as a lower class citizen and how she's be delt injustice her whole life and Powder is one of the most well written protagonists I've seen in along time, because she's not the hero of the story. She makes choices that are foolish because she doesn't know better and it's how everyone including her sister reacts to those choices that really made me fall in love with it...No character, is right. There are so many of them for you to enjoy, all written well, I won't spoil. Arcane is show about choice and sacrifice, complex ideology, politics but ultimately it's a show about the way we are raised and the hand we've been delt and how we use it, injustice from nature/nurture and people who have it better and how we choose to be as we are now viruses how we've or other people have been. This is a fantastic show with action that is fluid, writing that is engaging and performances that just break their way through animation, the only nitpicky things is that the characters dialogue can be written in some dumb cliche ways on occasion "you're hot, cupcake." isn't that great, please don't call a women that, I'm woke, sorry not sorry. Music choices aren't the good, the theme is done by Imagine Dragons of all people? I really wish animation could just be left with scores instead of being stuffed with licensed artists I don't even know because I'd never listen to them if you paid me. But despite this Arcane is good I want more, it's the best animated property to come out this decade so far, I'm so lucky Spider-Verse came out last because I'd be biting my tongue so hard it would bleed.
People who say that jinx ruined the peace detween piltover y zaun did not pay attention to the serie really because the condition that jayce put silco in order for there to be peace between the two cities was that silco deliver jinx to justice, even if jinx in the end of the chapter would not fire her cannon against the council there would be no peace anyway, silco would never do that and jinx would no surrender voulntarily either...so, even without jinx firing there would still be conflict between them, zaun and piltover.
This is not a 10 because of imagine dragons isn't it? Jk love seeing your reactions and thoughts about this show. Can't wait to see you watching the 2nd season
After Synged fixed her to me it seems Powder and Jinx personalities finally fused into one: the grown up Powder that choose to be called Jinx. You can see now that she is more... present, conscious, less erratic (always crazy though) I think Powder finally chose to let go of the past and move forward, she even tell Vi "You changed too." and ending recognising both the sisters have changed and is time to move forward with their lives. I think this the most sane, and stable i've ever seen Powder/Jinx after the first arc of the story. Also i think she still love Vi as Vi loves her, but too much has happened and their relationship can never be like it was before. After all, in the end, Jinx saw Silco about to shoot Vi and she choosed to stop him, killing him. She even left Caitlyn alive: Jinx could have killed her but she wasn't willing to cause anymore pain to Vi, i think. It makes me even wonder that Powder chosed be called Jinx and move forward to let Vi finally free to live her life, to not to be a burden to her animore.
One thing that would be kind of interesting about how they do season 2 is where it wouldn't start right off with where this cliffhanger is but kind of the start off with a different group of characters background into leading up to the cliffhanger of season 1 or part of arc 1 or arc 2 of season 2 will lead up to the cliffhanger.
idk if I cried the 1st time I saw the final scene with silco but bruh im like inconsolable rn rewatching it for the 50th time this week💀 "I never would have given them to you, not for anything. Dont cry, you're perfect" like stfu stop playin rn I can't do this😭
I think season 2 can go in either of 2 directions, both involving Noxus. Either the story picks up from here with Mel dead angering her mother who gets Noxus involved somehow with the Piltover/Zaun characters or the story focuses wholly on Noxus. Either way I think Mel's mother talking about a man killing her son is supposed to hint at Swain who in the lore takes over Noxus by just killing all the other people in power I believe, foreshadowing him as perhaps the villain of season 2.
with all the crows in act 3 im guessing Swain has been watching mel since the start of act 3, with most of the council dead i wonder if swain/darius/draven will be attacking them? the only leaders they have are jayce,mels mom, and Mel depending if she survives or not, she was able to detect the rocket before everyone else so who knows.
Curious to see how Piltover and Zaun will go from here, it is probably gonna be a big war between Zaun and Piltover where Viktor will be on Zaun's side with his glorious evolution. So it would be... Viktor, Singed, Jinx, Wariwick (?) vs. Vi, Caitlyn, Jayce and perhaps Mel. Maybe Piltover makes a deal with Noxus to trade weapons/hextech for military help from Noxus? All I know is if Riot/Fortiche can make season 2 remotely as good as season 1, it will be a banger
The scope of Runeterra is pretty huge. Zaun and Piltover are just 2 city states amongst several others all with different "themes/architypes". Noxus vs Ionia will likely be in season 2. Along with finding the source of hextex runes in Shurima if I had to guess. No one needs to see Demacia though. 😂
i saw your first video where you questioned why it was a 9.4 on imdb; then u started watching....i followed all your reactions; great stuff; good show; great show; bitchass john campea is even on board with this show; and i'm not big on him; hope to see ur reaction on S2. :p
I actually don't understand why people would think that the kid was in a suit. The cannon doesn't strip away armour on impact?? So why would the kid be just standing there with normal clothes when hit, if the kid was the mutant in the armour? And the kid isn't acting at all in a frenzy, which is how every singled drugged shimmer person acts in this series..
If you are up for it, there's another series based on a game, not as good as arcane, but still good and also in Netflix. People say it takes second place when it comes to series based on games on Netflix, it's called castlevania.
Silco was going to kill Vi, but Jinx instinctively protected her by shooting him. Unlike Vi, Jinx chose her over someone else, even if it wasn't intentional. I like Vi but ugh, I wish she had stopped pushing so hard on Jinx "being Powder" again. Powder and Jinx aren't costumes; it doesn't work like that. But I understand her naivete; after all, she was in prison for 10 years so she doesn't realize the extent of Jinx's mental instability.
i never watched it but final space being canceled on a big cliffhanger truely sucks, can only hope they do a movie or something down the line to finish it. castlevania would be a good one tho, its good from start to finish. Dark is also very good netflix series in german.
The first time I watched the series, I was so fucking afraid that the end was coming that I didn't appreciate Sting's song and then I was so fucking pissed that it ended that I hated the cliffhanger. The fact that they killed off Silco bothered me quite a lot, it didn't help (I still think it was a semi-bad idea). The second time, I fell in love with the song, and the cliffhanger didn't seem that reckless and frustrating, at all. Plus, figuring out that the missile wouldn't wipe out the entire Council thanks to Mel helped. In other words, this show has a few flaws, but it's still magnificent from start to finish.
It's nice for Jinx to dress up Caitlyn after she got Cait out of the shower.
👁👄👁
Holy Fishbonie... That had not crossed my mind. hahah
Would be easier to tell her to dress on gunpoint.
I was thinking about that a few days ago lol
O shes not that crazy
Fishbones in the game was never just some quirky toddler schtick all along. The hextech weapon she was making was custom-made for her dad who loves sea monsters :))))
Fishbones is actually a product of Hextech and Chemtech combined. A one of its kind.
Goddamn I didn't realize that was the reason for it to be a shark
@@OnlyCualquiera Speaking of things not realized. Remember that cutting lazer shown in i think ep 4? you know what Viktor has in game on his shoulder? a fuckin lazer arm. I didn't come to that realization until a few days ago.
Explains why she talks to it so much. She's trying to talk to her father figure.
i dont think its a shark specifically because her dad likes sea monsters, in the early episodes we see that there is a drawing of fishbones the rocket, so jinx has wanted to build a shark launcher since she was young
I love how morally grey the series is, silco makes a fantastic character especially during this episode when he visits a statue of vander and exclaims he now understands what it’s like when you have someone to lose, and how it’s changed him. Don’t get me wrong he’s still a bastard, but he has reason for his actions and his motives clearly change when he is offered zaun in exchange for jinx.
Keep up the good content brad.
"don't cry, you're perfect"
One line to make me sympathise over a character that i was hoping to die for 9 episodes long. Silco you bastard i can't hate you now😩
Wtf after ep 3 ending i was 100% with him
@@k4dow - Same, to be honest. 💁🏻♀️😆
I was a fan of him in episode one only until episode three where I realized he’s my favorite.
It’s first time in a show like u can understand everyone where they are coming from
@@MMM-mw1yy Black Sails bro
It is so weird how I did not cry once while watching the first time, but then I remember a scene or watch scenes again, the tears start emerging.
Same here. Sitting with the story for longer has only made it that much more tragic to me. Aging like a fine (depressing) wine.
for me I cried when powder said ''i only want it to help'' in act I. Most of act III I just had my jaw on the ground every second of it
Yea l, it's why I haven't done a 2nd watch quite yet...
I think you were too shocked to care first time. Now with the hindsight you can really appreciate the emotions
@@danzansandeev6033 Yeah, the show is so intense on every front (visually, sound, music (ymmv), story telling, visual story telling, emotions ....) The first watch you barely have time to process anything.
A thing most people I’ve seen miss, with that moment where Vi kept telling Jinx to remember who she is, Silco understood that it was actually hurting her instead of helping. He recognizes that Jinx’s past is something that actively harms her, something that Vi who can only see her as Powder fails to recognize. This is why Silco fires at Vi, and it also circles back to Vi’s story of imaginary monsters.
Also, man, notice, unlike Vi who freaking punched Powder when she accidentally killed Mylo and Claggor, here with Silco she doesn't berate or blame her for what she did. He instead comforts her and affirms that she's perfect the way she is. It's fucking sad man, how dare they make me cry for the man who did so many heinous shit.
Really fascinating.
Yeah that was something I didn't realize until I rewatched it, but goddamn the writers killed it. Obviously Vi's intentions were good, but shouting out a series of trigger-words at Jinx probably isn't the best move to deescalate a situation.
Yeah. Good points. Lots of love and care went into this whole thing.
no silco doesnt recognize shit. Just cause silco loves jinx like a daughter doesnt mean he did good to her. silco just wants her to be jinx, and instead of helping her deal with the past his advice is to just completely kill it , ignore it. If powder had a good parental figure, she wouldn' be so traume full.
@@deliii395 it's actually pretty obvious that Silco does recognize this. He wants her to be Jinx because he very clearly recognizes that's who she has become. You're also misinterpreting the broader meaning of him telling Jinx to let Powder die. It's not about ignoring the past, it's about accepting it and moving forward. Additionally, the idea that Powder's trauma would have been mitigated by simply having a better parental figure is a gross oversimplification of her complex trauma and mental health issues. Silco's supportiveness of Jinx was extremely Vander-like, and something nobody else in the show had ever fully committed to, even Vi. I would even argue that, for someone in Jinx's headspace, having a supportive and accepting parental figure is more important than having them just be a good role model.
The painting is of Noxus. By messing it up with brushstrokes of gold, the color of Piltover, Mel at last renounced her original home and family for the new one with Jayce.
My take away was a judgement of her mothers greed, the gold ruining the beauty of how she saw her homeland.
Art therapy! And I never realized that the gold strokes on the painting were symbolic of Piltover, her new home, until you mentioned it.
She couldn't be Powder anymore. Everytime she tried to go back, it was all bad memories and pain. She wanted Vi to accept her as Jinx.
That kid wasn't in the suit. He just got caught up in the crossfire. He's the one that press the button that called those guys
oh shit i didnt notice this, do you think the people in the suit were also kids tho?
@@rxf_ nah they were full grown adults probably, or like deckard was in the first act, a teenager with the shimmer, but seeing their combat skills we can assume that they were adults buffed with it
@@rxf_ From what I've gathered they are kids or young adults that Silco had Singed experiment on
Jinx’s dynamic and relationship with her fatherly figures, ie Vander and Silco, were truly tragic and extremely nuance because they were both accidentally killed by her which truly says something about her introspective conflict and that scene where Silco sits beside Vander’s memorial just makes it a butt tonne more painful as they both had the same intentions of protecting her but her mental psychosis was the true antagonist that consumed her and inevitably corrupted her mind of clarity and judgement.
This is why Jinx for me, is way better than just a mere "Harley Quinn clone". She stands alone and has a better arc imo.
She clearly has mental issues, the problem here is where she is, there are plenty people who have her problems who live good lives she just never had the right support systems, whether it be due to poverty or in Silcos case his own trauma ridden mentality. Back with Vander she never got affirmation in the way she needed even then she showed promise in her combat abilities with her shooting and such but it was never acknowledged as something worthwhile and she was constantly compared to her sister by Mylo. But at Silcos she was never given that moral grounding that she had at Vanders and while imo he loved her too due to his own corrupted vision of the world he couldn't see what he was saying wasn't helping her the way he thought it did. None of this would even be an issue if there wasn't such inequality between the two cities thought. She could have had a good life with help from family and loved ones. But instead she was stuck in this neverending slide down into hell.
“Butt tonne” Lol. That phrase really doesn’t work in writing.
This show is definitely worth a rewatch there's so many subtle details you can pick up on the rewatch
@@Squeekysquid tbf that’s not something you need to rewatch to realize lol
Ah of course, the moment the council finally agrees to give the undercity independence, she jinxes it by firing a rocket at them. Very poetic
yeah, maybe follow the show ?
There is no peace possible .... Jayce want Jinx, Silco said like 4 time he won't give her.
No Jinx, No Peace.
yeah, maybe read the comment ?
Did I say there would be peace? I said they agreed to giving them independence instead of turning a blind eye or even worse, resort to violence.
Her blowing up the council ruins the chance of the situation being settled in a civil fashion.
@@hecs8938 well, the condition for that Independence/Peace is Jinx
@@zir456 with silco dead, there is no condition anymore, no contract. All I'm saying is that the council was already willing to give them their independence, but being blasted by a rocket launcher is only going to give zaun an even more negative perception, thus they might not want to even entertain the idea of giving them independence.
@@zir456 Tbh fam the council can probably be convinced not to take Jinx, Silco didn't try very hard to make the argument for keeping her, he could've appealed to Jayces emotions by saying she is like a daughter to him and is all he has in the world, but he didn't. If all of the councillors voted for peace, it's very possible they'd agree to an altered agreement as well, the fact they voted for peace *at all* is already the first step towards a full agreement
Jinx really proves to her name in every fuckin situation.🤯
and guess what?you didn't see most of those coming.
Man i loved your reaction when jinx said she wasn't that crazy. Even though I was a league player that scene was intense
i was like no way right? RIGHT??? omg thank fking god
I missed the "In search of great, we failed to do good" and the "Is there anything more damning, than a daughter?"
"she seems pretty clear-headed now" - this is exactly what i wanted to here from you
You can also notice those background noises that sound like the voices in her head stop after Silco says "You're perfect."
that was... a very wrong kind of clear headed... like "the part of the brain that was giving a f&&* just shut down" kind.
In Colombia we call season finale cliffhangers like this one “being left hanging by the balls” :D
Crazy to think this series is rated the same as Breaking bad (9.4/10)
And episode 3 and 9 are both rated 9.9/10
Only season 1
While I enjoyed Arcane more than breaking bad (preference of genres), breaking bad did stay an amazing show for all seasons while this is only one season. We can only hope the following seasons can meet the standards of S1
@@FrostDK98 Brraking Bad s1 is arguably weaker than this, although I love it for how it sets up ALL of the themes that are resolved by s5. So in an apples to apples comparison, without the context of the 4 following seasons, this is justified to be on the same spot as BB. However, if in 5 seasons the show keeps this same level, then I'll be REALLY impressed. Act 3 was an amazing thing, truly top tier television front to back, and a great finale.
@@gabehere I agree, and I havent seen a show boast so many perfect or almost perfect review scores as this one has that I can remember recently
You know its a good show if the streamer gave it alot of doubts at first then ending up falling in love with it. I all your video reactions with Arcane.
24:26 The painting is Fed up because it represent that after everything her mother did to her, a part of her still missed Noxus(the place she is from), because the ships on the painting are Noxus ships, they have the signiture red and black that represent Noxus, you can tell her mother is a Noxian just by looking at her bc of the scars and the colors. Mel noticed her mother knew something inside her wanted to go back, and was trying to exploit that, because her mother saw her painting, that's why Mel destroyed it at the end, as a F U to her mother.
I feel so much sorry for Jinx. In the end she was the one who lost everything. So that last act of "showing them all" was so understandable.
Everything that happens with her gets jinxed it's so sad man
I wish she had sat in the Annie chair :(
So I think people think that Silco had just been manipulating Jinx this whole time but I disagree. Not only was he incredibly supportive of her from the beginning, but he clearly genuinely thought Vi was dead. Marcus lied to him and told him she was dead when instead he had her locked up in the safest place to leave her as far as Silco's power extends. Still Water Prison. So he told Jinx the information he knew. That Vi was dead.
And if you look at the way he acts in this episode when Jayce asks him for Jinx, it's the first time he averts his gaze and looks uncomfortable. He makes excuses for her and tries and fails to bargain with Jayce. Later at the statue of Vander he sounds remorseful about the deal, he's clearly hesitating and regrets the fact that he won't be able to go through with it. Further punctuated by the fact that he criticised Vander for doing what he was planning on doing now. Protecting his adoptive daughter and forsaking his dream of an independent nation of Zaun.
And in his final moments, he doesn't criticise Jinx, nor does he berate her for killing him. He absolves her. It's a reflection of what happened when she was a kid at the factory. Where Vi slaps her and berates her, Silco tells her its okay, its not her fault and that she's perfect.
I'm not saying this to shit on Vi either. She's a kid and she was only a kid with too much responsibility, more than she could handle at that age. It's natural she would make a mistake like that.
But if people don't see that Silco genuinely cared for Jinx and related to her suffering from episode 3, then you weren't paying enough attention
I mean, he thought Vi was dead, because Marcus told him. But had Marcus told him she was alive in prison he'd still would have killed her without a second thought and not told Jinx he was the one who had done it.
He was always going to kill Vi. His love for Jinx was selfish and codependent.
Yes, Silco actually cared for her, but he was harmful to her nonetheless. Blind validation for everything is not a good way to deal with hurt people and neither is Vi’s method of flipping out and getting mad. Both are understandable, but both are also wrong and harmful.
@@j.prt.979 None of that long comment is to say Silco was GOOD for Jinx, just that everyone thinks he didn't care or was only manipulating her when in fact he did care and did what he thought was right. It was wrong, but he did it with good intentions
@@iXSIKOBOIXi I know, I just wanted to say that.
if you pay attention : the kid had both a gas mask, and a badge on his shirt. He wasn't working with the others, he was sent here by his mom to "learn the business" I guess.
The irony, that when Jinx fired the rocket at the council they were about to make peace with the undercity.
Episode1 wtf is this and why does it have high rating
Episode9 I fucking love this show
The one Silco wants to shoot is Vi because Vi remind Jinx about her dark memories, Vi hurts Jinx and Silco dont like that, so he want to shoots Vi. Not Jinx.
Nope, he wanted to kill Vi because Silco saw that he was losing her to Vi. I don't know how some people can misunderstand that: Powder literally shoot Silco to save Vi, that act speak everything. Vi reminded her of their losses because they wer family and that she have to remember, even if it's painful.
In the end Powder undestood that she is the one to make the choice: killing Vi and Cait would have made her Jinx, killing Silco would have made he Powder, but in the end she killed Silco and Powder choose to be called Jinx aniway in contrast with the choice she previously presented to Vi.
not at all.
His losing Jinx, that's why he try to kill VI. Not because she is hurt ...
@@bilibangbang He loves Jinx so much and doesn't want to lose her, it's very human and understandable, but for sure it was his selfish love of Jinx (Not persay a bad thing, it's very parental!) that lead him to pull the gun and try to shoot Vi, who was trying to take her away from him.
Absolutely loved your reactions and thoughts :)
when you first started this series making comparisons to breaking bad, i thought your expectations might have been set too high. glad you enjoyed it as much as you did though. the show’s got flaws, but there’s so much more to love about it that you learn to just overlook a lot of them. definitely a groundbreaking series for what it was able to accomplish
The final scene with Singed has him looking a locket with his daughter Rio on it (she looks just like Orianna who bio lines up with his but was never confirmed) along with Vander shown chain up. Singed has been experimenting on him.
and vander is most likely WW but guess we find out in s2
@@colonelfrost8 he is indeed Warwick, interactions to Jinx and Vi ingame and Warwick's lore lined to it clearly
perfect ending, jinx is now in her finished form. emanzipated from vi ( she left cait alife) and she choce vi over silco (i think silco wanted to shoot vi), she has the super weapons her pinks eyes and is ready to start.
Yep, Season 1 is Jinx completion arc. Love it.
Plus the variable super-speed, keyed to her excitement level.
We were all jebaited by the platter scene lol
The craziest thing, the council was one vote away from giving the underground independence as that rocket came in
it was great re-experiencing this series with you! you’ve been one of my favorite reactors for a while now so i get excited when you react to things i enjoy (and especially when you enjoy them too).
last video i recommended you check out necrit’s videos for easter eggs, breakdowns, more champion lore, etc. still highly recommend it if you want to see all of the little details you may have missed, like at the end there with singed - we see him look at a locket of a girl (possibly his daughter, who is possibly orianna) and we see warwick hanging in the foreground (possibly vander). anyway, once again i really enjoyed this reaction series :)
Ah yes it all ends how it started... with Powder nuking Piltover.
Can't wait for season 2, literally. I keep thinking about this fucking show god damn it.
(goddamnit.. one more..) one thing you kind of missed was the episode titles.. every single one of them really *really* nailed the theme.. "oil & water", "the base violence necessary for change"; "the monster you created"? like, holy sh*t, these guys were masters of their craft..
i have traveled so many reaction
i like when they "nooo u cant end it like that,we need more riotttt"
It takes some seriously brilliant writing to make you genuinely wanna hug, protect and comfort a psychotic serial killer.
Thanks for bringing put these reactions so fast. I enjoyed watching all of them and i will continue to be a consistent viewer of your channel. Keep of the good work👍
I literally just finished the series, and damn this shit was consistent from start to finish, what a series
ambessa medarda (mel's mom) didnt banish mel because she had sympathy but because ambessa could'nt help but feel bad and unable to make the decisions she makes whenever mel gave her the look of disapproval at her every choice. Choices that kept mel, and the rest of the family alive. It's easier to make difficult choices when the people you love aren't there to judge you. It just shows that mel is the most important person to ambessa.
A lot of people missed that extra detail the animator's threw into her eyes when she spoke those lines. The tough old bird actually looked genuinely hurt that her daughter didn't understand why she did what she did. Mel made her question her morals, which I gathered from reading between the lines that any such momentary weakness of conviction would cost them their lives if she allowed it to continue. She may be a ruthless leader, but she's still loves her daughter immensely.
@@Dilligff yeah she didnt want to look like a monster infront of mel and that's why she banished mel. It's a very extreme meausure but it's kind of understandable and it's also understandable why mel would stand against her mom due to idealogical differences even though she clearly loves her family too.
This is a show that has no winners. It's a fucking Shakespearian tragedy
I just realized that the ending with jinx shooting that missile is just like when she blew up the hole place up in episode 3, she did the same thing again, killed people and made the situation worse, if she didn't blew up that place vender and her friends would have lived, and in the end if she didn't short the missile the council would have aproved jayces idea and would have "freed" the undercity. Its sad to say but jinx lived up to her name again.
Also fuck the guy that spoiled the series for you, like why would you spoil the literal ending, what an ashole, but lesson learned for future projects I guess.
Loved the series, and love your reactions.
thanks for pumping these out so fast
I love how skeptical he was in episode 1 compared all the way to the finale
Both your reactions and the show was so good, so double W
i loved this series and was so excited everyday to come back and see your reaction to each episode, first time seeing your channel was the episode 1 reaction and i’m so happy i stuck around to the finale!! consider me subscribed
You could see briefly silco did shoot once and grazed Vi shoulder
I really like these series. The animation is excellent, the characters are well-developed, and the plot is compelling. The attention to detail is amazing. I also think that the second act was the weakest part, but it's necessary in order to achieve a more exciting ending. Also, I really loved these reaction series, please react to other series!
The reason why Mel’s painting is all messed up is because Mel painted over it. That is a painting of Mel’s home (Noxus). She painted over it/messed it up as sign of showing discontent or disagreement with her Mother and Noxus. That’s the message that Mel’s mom will get upon seeing that messed up painting.
I love your vids man, almost sad at how fast you released these.
In the season 2 announcement, we got a tease about Warwick, and in the ending when singed shows up, he has someone hanging, its Vander, and he is turning him into Warwick.
when you said: whos head is in there i laughed so hard because i was thinking the same when i saw that scene its so funny thats everbody was thinking the same hahaha XD
Fun Fact: the guy who plays Finn (the Asian dude in the yellow jacket with the metal jaw) is actually Miyavi, a famous Japanese rockstar. He also collaborated with PVRIS for the song “Snakes” (he played guitar) which was being played during the Vi and Jayce fight.
This show is honestly heartbreaking. Powder just needed to be loved by the right person. But because she was with the wrong people and thought that her sister abandoned her for years she become something she should not have become.
I want nothing more for her to be happy and loved again, but it will probably never happen now. :(
Also, Vi fucked up big time obviously when she left Powder alone and when she hit her. She immediately noticed though, but it was too late, this one mistake fucked everything up.
I loved seeing you love this. I've disagreed with you on albums in the past, so I was so excited to see how this would hit you. I'm glad that people whose taste I respect enjoy this show. I thought I may have been caught up in the fanfare, as I just started playing League in January, but no. Multiple reactions and analyses have reaffirmed that, yes, it is good. The art is nearly unique, but reminiscent of works such as Borderlands, Guitar Hero, and many more. All of the [main] characters had dynamic arcs, fleshed out personalities, well-defined motivations, and exactly how you'd expect those characters to interact. The show threw surprises at you, but it was more in the display of how things were than in the story direction. Then again, sometimes you have moments like Jinx's firelight bombs on the bridge, and that fight is unforgettable. The choreography and fighting was well-executed, and made you feel exhilaration watching the conflicts. It also stuck out to me during episode 5 or 6 or whatever it was how you pointed out Viktor's face showed he was thinking about how Jayce wasn't with him while working on the Hexcore. To me, that confirms that the animation is way more intense than most other works I've seen. They took their medium, and pushed it not quite to its limits. But they took every opportunity to make a visual statement, in the vein of "show, don't tell".
I agree with your rating. Not much to complain about. In fact, even the Imagine Dragons song has grown on me, if only because it's tied to such a fantastic thrill ride.
Just started watching you - great content- great reaction- hope you do more..... and damn.. them using Sting as the final song was A++
Silco was the only one who could accept Jinx as who she was. He wouldve accepted her as Powder or Jinx, but he knew she really was Jinx. Vi turned her back on Jinx, denying Jinx even existed. she had this nostalgic iealistic vision of Powder. and when Jinx accidentaly kills Silco in a panic, Silco isnt mad at her. he doesnt blame her, unlike Vi in ep 3. He loves her, more than anything.
from villain to living father.. what a guy
It's because the same thing happened to Silco. Vander and him were best friends, sworn brothers even, and then Vander tried to drown Silco.
Vander betrayed Silco and tried to kill him for peace, basically. As SIlco said, he would burn the city to the ground before forsaking Jinx like Vander forsaked him.
Here's my review I did not too long ago:
I wasn't expecting this to resonate so heavily with the things that I love, I want to preface this by saying that I have not played League Of Legends and do not overly seem interested in playing it.
This series however give me so much kept my interest through a different medium for the whole thing without having any prior knowledge of the game, which is a testament to the writing of the show because it shouldn't work on paper.
I love animation, a part of me wants to say I love it more than film but I think they both break off two ends of the stick that are the same length in my opinion.
Film is the most honest performance you can capture in real time capturing raw emotion, while
animation is better at pushing the fantastical elements and exaggerating them to its fullest through stylistic interpretation.
Arcane give me everything I was missing from animation, while also giving me something entirely different with a fantastical world and subversive character-driven writing.
It sets the stage with what you'd expect but also pulls the rug from underneath you, it takes advantage of its 15 rating, while also not being over excessive with language or violence. It's all there and it's pretty cool and all but it's about presentation, this streampunk world mixed with the right of sci-fi feels like a place I want to go! The animation is fluid and beautiful, everything is watercolored over 3D and there's also hand animated stuff it's so special that we have cinema animation for a show like this, the characters are also part of this package. Powder and Vi sell the show, we get to see Vi progression, how she doesn't like getting treated as a lower class citizen and how she's be delt injustice her whole life
and Powder is one of the most well written protagonists I've seen in along time, because she's not the hero of the story.
She makes choices that are foolish because she doesn't know better and it's how everyone including her sister reacts to those choices that really made me fall in love with it...No character, is right. There are so many of them for you to enjoy, all written well, I won't spoil.
Arcane is show about choice and sacrifice, complex ideology, politics but ultimately it's a show about the way we are raised and the hand we've been delt and how we use it, injustice from nature/nurture and people who have it better and how we choose to be as we are now viruses how we've or other people have been.
This is a fantastic show with action that is fluid, writing that is engaging and performances that just break their way through animation, the only nitpicky things is that the characters dialogue can be written in some dumb cliche ways on occasion "you're hot, cupcake." isn't that great, please don't call a women that, I'm woke, sorry not sorry. Music choices aren't the good, the theme is done by Imagine Dragons of all people? I really wish animation could just be left with scores instead of being stuffed with licensed artists I don't even know because I'd never listen to them if you paid me.
But despite this Arcane is good I want more, it's the best animated property to come out this decade so far, I'm so lucky Spider-Verse came out last because I'd be biting my tongue so hard it would bleed.
Act 1 - jinxed the escape
Act 3 - jinxes the peace
People who say that jinx ruined the peace detween piltover y zaun did
not pay attention to the serie really because the condition that jayce
put silco in order for there to be peace between the two cities was that
silco deliver jinx to justice, even if jinx in the end of the chapter
would not fire her cannon against the council there would be no peace
anyway, silco would never do that and jinx would no surrender
voulntarily either...so, even without jinx firing there would still be
conflict between them, zaun and piltover.
You were the most interesting reactor, wish you all the success
This is not a 10 because of imagine dragons isn't it?
Jk love seeing your reactions and thoughts about this show. Can't wait to see you watching the 2nd season
After Synged fixed her to me it seems Powder and Jinx personalities finally fused into one: the grown up Powder that choose to be called Jinx. You can see now that she is more... present, conscious, less erratic (always crazy though) I think Powder finally chose to let go of the past and move forward, she even tell Vi "You changed too." and ending recognising both the sisters have changed and is time to move forward with their lives.
I think this the most sane, and stable i've ever seen Powder/Jinx after the first arc of the story.
Also i think she still love Vi as Vi loves her, but too much has happened and their relationship can never be like it was before. After all, in the end, Jinx saw Silco about to shoot Vi and she choosed to stop him, killing him. She even left Caitlyn alive: Jinx could have killed her but she wasn't willing to cause anymore pain to Vi, i think.
It makes me even wonder that Powder chosed be called Jinx and move forward to let Vi finally free to live her life, to not to be a burden to her animore.
dang that's fast Brad...well since this one finished, happy holiday for you👍
Jayce saved Heimer from Jinx's pentakill XD
Don't hold your breath for season 2 😅 It takes 1 day to animate 0.7 seconds of an Arcane episode. Source: Fortiche Production interview on TH-cam.
It’s been sooo fun watching this with you 🥰
One thing that would be kind of interesting about how they do season 2 is where it wouldn't start right off with where this cliffhanger is but kind of the start off with a different group of characters background into leading up to the cliffhanger of season 1 or part of arc 1 or arc 2 of season 2 will lead up to the cliffhanger.
6:39-7:17 bro that had me dying 😂
idk if I cried the 1st time I saw the final scene with silco but bruh im like inconsolable rn rewatching it for the 50th time this week💀 "I never would have given them to you, not for anything. Dont cry, you're perfect" like stfu stop playin rn I can't do this😭
I think season 2 can go in either of 2 directions, both involving Noxus. Either the story picks up from here with Mel dead angering her mother who gets Noxus involved somehow with the Piltover/Zaun characters or the story focuses wholly on Noxus. Either way I think Mel's mother talking about a man killing her son is supposed to hint at Swain who in the lore takes over Noxus by just killing all the other people in power I believe, foreshadowing him as perhaps the villain of season 2.
with all the crows in act 3 im guessing Swain has been watching mel since the start of act 3, with most of the council dead i wonder if swain/darius/draven will be attacking them? the only leaders they have are jayce,mels mom, and Mel depending if she survives or not, she was able to detect the rocket before everyone else so who knows.
Curious to see how Piltover and Zaun will go from here, it is probably gonna be a big war between Zaun and Piltover where Viktor will be on Zaun's side with his glorious evolution. So it would be...
Viktor, Singed, Jinx, Wariwick (?) vs. Vi, Caitlyn, Jayce and perhaps Mel. Maybe Piltover makes a deal with Noxus to trade weapons/hextech for military help from Noxus? All I know is if Riot/Fortiche can make season 2 remotely as good as season 1, it will be a banger
Also camille and blitz on the piltover side
@@AgressiveSillence blitz is from Zaun, viktor created him (in our current lore)
@@65rytg ah yes mb
Well, Season 2 has been announced so we're gonna get more!
Waiting for S2 in a few years.
The scope of Runeterra is pretty huge. Zaun and Piltover are just 2 city states amongst several others all with different "themes/architypes". Noxus vs Ionia will likely be in season 2. Along with finding the source of hextex runes in Shurima if I had to guess. No one needs to see Demacia though. 😂
i saw your first video where you questioned why it was a 9.4 on imdb; then u started watching....i followed all your reactions; great stuff; good show; great show; bitchass john campea is even on board with this show; and i'm not big on him; hope to see ur reaction on S2. :p
k, now go back to episode 1, scene 1, and look at the chalk drawing that shows up for a couple of frames... you'll see jinx was always there!
The kid at the start wasnt in the chemtech suit. The guy running simply made jayce miss and hit him.
I actually don't understand why people would think that the kid was in a suit. The cannon doesn't strip away armour on impact?? So why would the kid be just standing there with normal clothes when hit, if the kid was the mutant in the armour? And the kid isn't acting at all in a frenzy, which is how every singled drugged shimmer person acts in this series..
Theyve already confirmed they're making season 2
Also, if you haven't seen Atlanta, you should watch it before the new season is released.
I'm glad you warmed up to Enemy by Imagine Dragons.
Brad those kids were not the ones in the suits.
They are just simple workers there.
They were just caught in between the fight.
Glad you were still able to really enjoy this series even with that pretty big spoiler!
The comment section be dropping fckn good easter eggs
*SPOILER*
The guy hanging from the ceiling in Singed's lab towards the end is Vander if you didn't catch that.
your takes are on point
If you are up for it, there's another series based on a game, not as good as arcane, but still good and also in Netflix. People say it takes second place when it comes to series based on games on Netflix, it's called castlevania.
loved your videos for arcane Brad!!!
Silco was going to kill Vi, but Jinx instinctively protected her by shooting him. Unlike Vi, Jinx chose her over someone else, even if it wasn't intentional. I like Vi but ugh, I wish she had stopped pushing so hard on Jinx "being Powder" again. Powder and Jinx aren't costumes; it doesn't work like that. But I understand her naivete; after all, she was in prison for 10 years so she doesn't realize the extent of Jinx's mental instability.
To be fair Jinx uses "I will give you powder back" as a manipulation tactic. And Vi refuses because she realizes how far gone she is and draws a line.
I feel sad for Silco, he was a total asshole and deserved that but his death only made everything worse... What a villain.
I'd recommend (just from a few of my personal favorates) final space or castlevania are both great shows
i never watched it but final space being canceled on a big cliffhanger truely sucks, can only hope they do a movie or something down the line to finish it. castlevania would be a good one tho, its good from start to finish. Dark is also very good netflix series in german.
well this is one of the story of this world of runeterra so it wasnt shown but maybe mention it
The first time I watched the series, I was so fucking afraid that the end was coming that I didn't appreciate Sting's song and then I was so fucking pissed that it ended that I hated the cliffhanger. The fact that they killed off Silco bothered me quite a lot, it didn't help (I still think it was a semi-bad idea). The second time, I fell in love with the song, and the cliffhanger didn't seem that reckless and frustrating, at all. Plus, figuring out that the missile wouldn't wipe out the entire Council thanks to Mel helped.
In other words, this show has a few flaws, but it's still magnificent from start to finish.
Wilco's death was a necessary end. Sense he is a character that exist in the LoL lore but not as a champion, he needed to die
See ya when season 2 comes out!
Thank you Brad for fixing my mood.
That kid joined Silco knowing his fate that he's prolly gonna die someday fighting... Mad lad
Just wait until you get to know the rest of the noxians
