What makes jayce and Viktor's relationship sadder is that they are no alternate timelines where both of them are happy without meeting each other. If they never met, Viktor could die from his illness, and jayce could never create hextech. Their 'happiest' timeline is the one where Viktor almost ends humanity and they both sacrifice themselves to save it.

It was a quick thing, but Maddie had binoculars because that's an actual thing snipers have: a spotter. Rather than having to regain their target after firing, the spotter can stay trained on the target and help direct the sniper's fire.
Possible triggers: self-unalive 23:20 What’s thoughtful about this to me from a storytelling perspective is in the final episode of season 1 at the table, there were multiple moments when “leaving” was compared to “dying”. Jinx handed Vi the gun and said “Make [Cait] go away.”, clearly indicating to kill her. Moments later Vi said she can’t, but told Jinx, “Let’s just go away together and never come back.” Then Jinx had an auditory hallucination to which she responds out loud, “No… no, she’s not saying THAT.” I believe that hallucination was Milo telling Jinx that Vi was talking about a double-self-unalive. It’s why the Silco scene in this season works for me… because there’s already an established history of her hallucinations alluding to this double meaning. It’s beautiful to see Jinx overcome that, to accept that that “leaving” really can be as simple as just traveling someplace else by airship.
I'm glad you picked up on Jinx still being alive. The Shimmer colors in the explosion, the vents, the blimp she finally got to ride on, we'll definitely see her again.
The VA saying in the Netflix interview thingy that they're leaving up for 'interpretation' meanwhile confirming Jayce & Victor's deaths? Yeah it's basically 100% confirmed she's alive
@@SilverScribe85 In an interview done by Necrit, Christian Linke, Arcane's co-creator, did accidentally let slip when answering why Warwick looks different from how he looks in-game. He basically said that they wanted Warwick to look more human due to the tie-in with Vander's backstory. But then he said that's how Warwick looks "FOR NOW". When asked to clarify that statement, he immediately refused to answer further and moved on... hinting that Vander is gone but it won't be the last we'll see of Warwick.
That scene with Vander putting little Powder and Violet to sleep hit me hard especially, because to next see that Jinx would sacrifice herself to save her sister and finally put her suffering father to rest made me tear up. 😢
@@emanuelrodriguez9044except warwick isnt dead. probably just knocked out. these body victor gave them, we never really see them get destroyed. during the mel and jayce scene, they ddnt really destroy the body, they just pushed victor out
@@sirmeowmeow7319 Your assuming he isn’t dead, which is fair because their fates are supposed to be left open; But as far as the narrative of series and the meaning of the scene it is assumed, especially from VI’s perspective, that Jinx sacrificed herself to save her sister’s life and end her father’s torment.
@@emanuelrodriguez9044 not really assuming. remember, warwick took 3 exploding hex gem on the face from isha. still alive. also jinx left piltover with that blimp at the last scene basically leaving the cycle. she probably brought warwick with her. both of her and vander is leaving the cycle
Bruh I have been at beaches a lot and my city once in a while has seaguls flying around, that laugh is like 100% what I hear when the seaguls are noisy, I even looked outside for a moment to see if some flock was passing by
The crow with six eyes at the end was a shard of Swain’s demonic power. Swain is also the Grand General of Noxus (really he’s the emperor but likes to be called grand general). Seems he has eyes everywhere… Even more worrisome now that he may have a shard of a Hexgem…
Not looking forward to Mel cause I just know she’s gonna be a control/sup mage that blocks me from getting kills, or just playing in general. If Sev has the gambling arm it’s an instant 10 out of 10 champion.
I hope there's like a DVD version that adds some of the stuff that felt missing from Act 3, Sevika didn't speak at all which was weird, plus more of how Ekko and Jinx came together at the end and changed up their looks and brought Zaun together.
Yeah, especially because from what I've seen one of the guys who worked on Arcane, he said that some scenes were cut (like Ekko and Jinx painting each other's outfits) I might be wrong tho. I remember fanart inspired by what I mentioned 😅
Viktor and Jayce's storyline stole my whole heart T_T Cosmic soulmates across all universes. Their dream was what united them and endangered the world but it's their love for each other with all the imperfections is what saved the world in the end.
If anyone is crying about Jinx, during a couple of frames of the explosion during her "sacrifice" you can see a pink speed line go off to the side, like when she uses her ability. Then right after Cait was also looking at the diagrams of the tower and saw that there were vents that led to the outside, which were shown very much on purpose. And the final scene closed with the same airship Powder said she would one day ride early in the 1st season. Plus, the last few frames have " THE END" in her handwriting. Like she made it herself.
Kind of pretty much always. Since it's pretty hard alone. Only instances I could imagine them not having one is a serious war situation where you can't just regroup for a partner if you lost them or being short on resources.
Jinx and Vander's fall was about Vander going to rest, not Jinx. Notice that while he attacks, they are sluggish swipes, and as he hangs from Jinx his claws don't injure her. The human part of him still exists, and that is what is holding the beast back, even as they fall. The song goes, "If I could just lay my head down and rest. If there was nothing to fight or protect. Maybe then I could finally be free; Maybe death is like falling asleep" as Vander puts the girls to bed, safe and protected, together. He blows out the candle, which is next to Jink's metal monkey head, at the same time as the beast is looking at the monkey head on the grenade. I think in that moment he lets her go and she zips away as the grenade goes off.
That’s actually so true. If u think about it too, that flashback is vander’s. Jinx and v are both asleep. It can’t be their memory. It’s definitely about gander letting go/resting and allowing jinx to sleep
Hilarious how Singed just won on his personal quest, like 100% exactly what he wanted - I mean Cait is probably gonna look to have him arrested at some point but still
Codeword: CRYING I feel like it's an amazing touch how Powder's first scene is with her saying "one day, I'm going to fly one of those" when she sees the airships and Jinx's last scene is with her flying off on one.
What I love about the fight with Mel's mom is that Cait remembered her teachings she used all her 3 steps into that fight, and at the end used the 4th:sacrifice and sacrificed her left eye for the sake of winning the battle
Of all the reactors, only Alicia saw that Jinx was suicidal in the intro. 90% of them were like "oh she cut her hair", and 10% were like "oh she cut her hair, that's right gurl get a makeover!" :D
Maddie didn't wanted to shot her in the back of her head... she aimed for her neck. To make her die slowly.... Powder said in SE01 that one day she will ride an Airship...the show is just sooo good!
I liked how they handled the Jinx. Giving it a possibility that she escaped Warwick's grip and survived, but officially dead on record and probably left the nation like Vi suggested at the end of season 1.
Mel was a badass in this episode especially when she sent her mom's soul into the void that Mel was trapped in but worse! plus when she said the line "A Wolf has no Mercy" it made the moment even more badass!
That Black Rose sorceress is definitely LeBlanc. Aside from the signature stripe patterns below her eyes, Mel also called her "Deceiver" which just so happens to be LeBlanc's title in League (The Deceiver). Also, I remember Riot Games do an oopsie even before Arcane season 2 came out. When they first announced Ambessa as a playable Champion and added her to their LoL Universe webpage with all the Champion lore, Riot accidentally added LeBlanc as a "related champion" in Ambessa's bio. Of course, when they realized, they immediately removed it 😂
4:01 Maddie with the binoculars is because snipers have spotters. Essentially, the sniper focuses on the target, while the spotter keeps an eye out for everything around the target, and also any changes to the environment like a shift in the wind.
The part where jynx's ship appears and they start fighting back really made it feel like both cities were finally united for a common goal. And that whole sequence to me felt like jynx telling ambessa "You've fought against Piltover, now you fight against Zaun".
Want something to make you start CRYING? When Vander and Jinx were falling there was a flashback right? Whose memory do you think that was? Jinx was asleep in that memory so it can only have been Vanders'. So at the very end for just a moment he overpowered the beast so he could save his daughter.... You're welcome and now you're gonna need to talk about the finale of arcane with your therapist.
Yeah crying. literally The last 3 episodes did that to me. The starting sequence after binging episode 7-9 through was like an absolute punch in the gut.
Its great that Mel will become playeable champion. Riot Games Devs comfirned she will new champion release after January. It was great that they showed us hints of Leblack, Swain, Oriana,... Necrit has on his channel an interview with Arcane co-creator Christian Ling. After Arcane dernier in L.A. it is interesting. And we know they are working on another series three new are allready in development Ionia, Noxus, Demacia and maybe even movies in future.
Ekko is actually the MVP of the entire Series. He went back to his dimension even tho it was perfect for him. Just to end in war and lose Jinx twice!!!! What a lad. A mad lad. Heime knew why he did what he did for Ekko.
I haven't played league so I don't know all characters powers, so what i thought when ekko made that device was, both the timelines ekko and jayce travelled through could be futures of there current timeline only, like victor destroying everything and ekko using environments arcane to make the device jump back to the start which would create the other timeline... What they did was definitely a great ending with consequences they have to live with 😢 just to many people already dead...
My theories for the 3 announced follow up series would be (not in order): Noxia - Following Mel dealing with the various Black Rose memebers, maybe inadvertently allowing for the rebirth of Mordenkaizer. I could also see a plot of the gladiator arena involving Xin Zhao and Draven which could continue in a Demacia story. Demacia - Perhaps the inner politics around the ascension of Jarvan IV with Garen as a main POV. If Garen rescues Xin from the arena, then that could set up a parallel conflict between Garen/Xin vs Darius/Draven. Ionia - The resistance to Noxian occupation led by Karma and Irina. Also a plot about the ninjas; Zed's betrayal with Akali, Shen, and Kennen trying to stop him.
I just hope they don't fuck up jinx relationship with Ekko sending some other random shipp to her. Ekko may be the only one to trully understand her and love her at the same time
One of the co-creators of the show confirmed that they have the next three locations for shows picked out, Noxus (probably with Mel), Demacia (praying for Lux so Jinx can appear there), and Ionia. Also, the next show has already been in production for over a year. I think this show hovers between a 9 and 10 for me. There are some things in season 2 that could have benefited from a little more time. Like seeing Ekko talk to Jinx after stopping her from committing suicide. They confirmed that he told her about the alternate timeline Powder, so I would have loved to have seen that.
The sad thing is Heimerdinger, Jayce, and Viktor maybe really dead.. Yet each sacrifice likely brought something greater into the world.. Arcane itself is a natural chaos, but the people who use it can either do for good and bad, it a shame Jayce never got his true dream. Warwick maybe dead or loose now, and well Jinx 🤫, the only winner in this game was Singed unfortunately.. He really won.
Apparently Heimerdinger can't die, for what I learned recently. Yordles can't die and when they supposely "die", they are sent back to their city which is another dimension.
There might be three arcane spin-offs for the next three things, demacia, noxus, and somewhere else i can't remember. My favorite things, powder says one day im going to fly on those air ships in season one, season two ends with an air ship and that the dirt under your nails line means that yeah vi has the will to keep going, living, shes there with cait forever, i cant wait for more
Singed really did all of these bad things and walked away with the big W. Would like to see Orianna's full design someday, she looked great. Pretty sure that crow with the 3 eyes is swain. and yeah i'm sure Jinx is alive since you can also see this pink light streak go by during the explosion. Did wish Warwick's design looked a little more wolf like during this last ep or at least has the creepy faceless look like the rest of the magic droids here. I also think jayce and viktor are stuck in a different timeline after they stopped the glorious evolution. but yeah, what a wild finale, but I honestly think they did amazing. As for what they'll have to do to update the lore, we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully this will make riot realize they have to check up on it more often than usual.
I used to play League of Legends a lot when it was released. My Main was Jinx. I loved her design. I loved her weapons. I loved her phrases and interactions. When Arcane was being produced, and I saw Powder, I was excited! When the Finale of Season 2 was released, I cried. Jinx best character! 😿
I can’t wait to see if they’ll do a Noxus series next. We’ll either see Mel come in and try to establish herself. Or we’ll see the conflict between Noxus and Ionia, which is part of Swain’s backstory.
So glad that you noticed that there is a big chance that Jinx is still alive. So many reactors did not put that together. For me it is all but confirmed and I think we will see Jinx again at some point in their universe.
If you think about it, Singed caused everything. From providing shimmer, creating warwick, helping noxus take over everything and what does he get for it? Fucking everything. He won, point blank. LMAO
I noticed a slight blue glow when swain/raums crow was digging around where jayces hammer was. Maybe he got some of the shards of the hextech that was left in the hammer. Also could be leading to Mel being the third unknown pillar of noxus meaning she pseudo allies with Swain and Darius
Ekko truly was the boy savior. Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, and Jayce would have been cooked without him lol Also remember one of Powders first lines was one day she would ride that blimp and she ends the show with it. Love that for Jinx
@ 4:00 Maddie is spotting. Snipers have spotters that tell them whats happening around the target, judge distance and wind etc to help the sniper hit the shot.
You know who's not Crying? Singed with the absolute uncontestable Arcane Ultimate W
> invent Shimmer (ruin lives)
> mentor Viktor (apocalypse inbound)
> work with Silco (mob boss)
> save Jinx (instant terror attack)

Ekko's sword/bat/club is a clock hand he got from the exploded wall in the Hexcore tower, you see it briefly before Jinx crashes
HOLY SHIT someone picked up on jinx being alive!!
Maddie was a Noxian spy. She was a plant by Ambessa from the very start.
Your joyous laughter when Maddie died reminds me of sea gull 🤣
I haven't played league so I don't know all characters powers, so what i thought when ekko made that device was, both the timelines ekko and jayce travelled through could be futures of there current timeline only, like victor destroying everything and ekko using environments arcane to make the device jump back to the start which would create the other timeline... What they did was definitely a great ending with consequences they have to live with 😢 just to many people already dead...
My theories for the 3 announced follow up series would be (not in order):
Noxia - Following Mel dealing with the various Black Rose memebers, maybe inadvertently allowing for the rebirth of Mordenkaizer. I could also see a plot of the gladiator arena involving Xin Zhao and Draven which could continue in a Demacia story.
Demacia - Perhaps the inner politics around the ascension of Jarvan IV with Garen as a main POV. If Garen rescues Xin from the arena, then that could set up a parallel conflict between Garen/Xin vs Darius/Draven.
Ionia - The resistance to Noxian occupation led by Karma and Irina. Also a plot about the ninjas; Zed's betrayal with Akali, Shen, and Kennen trying to stop him.
I just hope they don't fuck up jinx relationship with Ekko sending some other random shipp to her. Ekko may be the only one to trully understand her and love her at the same time
One of the co-creators of the show confirmed that they have the next three locations for shows picked out, Noxus (probably with Mel), Demacia (praying for Lux so Jinx can appear there), and Ionia. Also, the next show has already been in production for over a year.
I think this show hovers between a 9 and 10 for me. There are some things in season 2 that could have benefited from a little more time. Like seeing Ekko talk to Jinx after stopping her from committing suicide. They confirmed that he told her about the alternate timeline Powder, so I would have loved to have seen that.
Since you are curious they do have other "Arcane" projects, but on other regions of Runeterra, I think Noxus and Demacia
The sad thing is Heimerdinger, Jayce, and Viktor maybe really dead.. Yet each sacrifice likely brought something greater into the world.. Arcane itself is a natural chaos, but the people who use it can either do for good and bad, it a shame Jayce never got his true dream. Warwick maybe dead or loose now, and well Jinx 🤫, the only winner in this game was Singed unfortunately.. He really won.
At lease SOMEONE had a happy ending.
Apparently Heimerdinger can't die, for what I learned recently. Yordles can't die and when they supposely "die", they are sent back to their city which is another dimension.
There might be three arcane spin-offs for the next three things, demacia, noxus, and somewhere else i can't remember. My favorite things, powder says one day im going to fly on those air ships in season one, season two ends with an air ship and that the dirt under your nails line means that yeah vi has the will to keep going, living, shes there with cait forever, i cant wait for more
This is why I love watching your reactions. You're very perceptive, I think you are the first one I've seen that got the hints about Jinx being alive.
THANK YOU FOR PICKING UP ON THE JINX THING OH MY GOD 😭😭😭 This had me crying so hard for real
Riot confirmed 3 other shows, they are planning for shows about noxus, ionia and demacia, the shows are in that order.
Your commentary on the combat was fecken amazing. Your commentary also made it so I didn't *cry* watching this reaction
10:00 - this isnt the Noxian symbol he carves through the door with, it's the shape of his new "face"
5:15 the realization xD
You’re like the only reactor to pick up on Jinx escaping at the end, nice catch
Just worth pointing out, that Cait and Mel fighting together is your classic ADC and Support pairing.
just found out there were scenes that got cut for time of jinx and ekko bonding and i'm VERY upset we didn't get that
Singed really did all of these bad things and walked away with the big W. Would like to see Orianna's full design someday, she looked great. Pretty sure that crow with the 3 eyes is swain. and yeah i'm sure Jinx is alive since you can also see this pink light streak go by during the explosion. Did wish Warwick's design looked a little more wolf like during this last ep or at least has the creepy faceless look like the rest of the magic droids here. I also think jayce and viktor are stuck in a different timeline after they stopped the glorious evolution. but yeah, what a wild finale, but I honestly think they did amazing. As for what they'll have to do to update the lore, we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully this will make riot realize they have to check up on it more often than usual.
I used to play League of Legends a lot when it was released. My Main was Jinx.
I loved her design. I loved her weapons. I loved her phrases and interactions.
When Arcane was being produced, and I saw Powder, I was excited!
When the Finale of Season 2 was released, I cried. Jinx best character! 😿
Ekko "Little Man" started the journey with his tip to Vi and the gang, and Ekko ended it by blowing up a nuke in Viktor's face.
she better be on that damn blimp for my sanity.
I can’t wait to see if they’ll do a Noxus series next. We’ll either see Mel come in and try to establish herself. Or we’ll see the conflict between Noxus and Ionia, which is part of Swain’s backstory.
The fact you didn't point how Ekko got his in game sword😢
Remember when we all thought that Arcane wouldn't kill off Champion characters because Riot made the show canon? Good times.
Wouldn't be to sure just yet the hints are there as Alicia pointed out, though some people think they might be delusions but i don't think they are
So glad that you noticed that there is a big chance that Jinx is still alive. So many reactors did not put that together. For me it is all but confirmed and I think we will see Jinx again at some point in their universe.
I love when Alicia gets shocked and shouts and her model just goes OoO

~swain noises~
*real shit*
I saw someone clip this from Jinx's perspective, since she's unaware of the rewind! That opening was gripping!
Maddie getting clapped by her own bullet is some sudden hilarious catharsis
Look at the explosion again. There's a red-streak, like Jinx when she's moving at superspeed, going off to the side.
If you think about it, Singed caused everything. From providing shimmer, creating warwick, helping noxus take over everything and what does he get for it? Fucking everything. He won, point blank. LMAO
Alicia can be happy in the knowledge that 3 more shows are planned (noxus,ionia and demacia)
Ekko rewinding Jinx over and over is definitely up there as one of the best scenes of the entire show.
This show is so good
AT GETTING ME CRYING
I noticed a slight blue glow when swain/raums crow was digging around where jayces hammer was. Maybe he got some of the shards of the hextech that was left in the hammer. Also could be leading to Mel being the third unknown pillar of noxus meaning she pseudo allies with Swain and Darius
5:10 The pause, the face, the cutaway
Perfect
21:45 “I can’t stop crying”
5 secs later Oooh look Swain’s crow
apperantly if you look careful enough you can see a purple streak when jinx sacrifice herself meaning she probably got away
5:26 Alicia WTF 😂😂😂😂
Ekko truly was the boy savior. Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, and Jayce would have been cooked without him lol
Also remember one of Powders first lines was one day she would ride that blimp and she ends the show with it. Love that for Jinx
21:44 "i can't stop crying"
5 seconds later : *stops crying*
@ 4:00 Maddie is spotting. Snipers have spotters that tell them whats happening around the target, judge distance and wind etc to help the sniper hit the shot.
''Where was Maddie in all tha...?'' And then Alicia's model is like O__O
I fell off my chair laughing my ass off. Girl you're the best!
Apparently one of the RIOT GAMES employees said that "Arcane is just the beginning, there are tons of other stories to tell"
09:50 You try to outsmart a guy, but forget he grew up in Zaun... you get tricked with a shell game.
You're not the only one who was crying with this very bittersweet finally 😭
Ur not alone Alicia. I cried as much as you 😭
