Awesomeness 😎
Since both of you are going to explore Runeterra, let's hope that Mel survives. Otherwise, Piltover will be crushed by Ambessa's army. :)
@@cythereafairchild2323 it hasn't been yet so ... who's to say.
I think Mel's outfit is some kind of magical item, it glows just before the bomb hit. So, I assume some of the council like Jace, Victor and Mel.
@@cythereafairchild2323 Noxus has a locked up death god that might break free at any point to worry about. I doubt they can actually interfere with Piltover lol
Silco: Don't cry. You're perfect.
Reactors: _crying_
Silco: okay but what did I just say
with jinx shooting silco it was defs a more reflex action. no matter what she has always loved vi and had wanted to protect her, and as soon as she heard silco aim for vi she shot. but in doing so she got rid of the person who gave her the love she so craved as the person she was at that moment. i love how much of a mess it was. i think a big problem was that vi just didn’t understand jinx, and it’s not her fault she was locked away and not given the time to get to understand, but yeah. a big example? the final moments before jinx shot silco. for vi remembering mylo and vander etc would be positive memories for her but for jinx? they are her trauma. i love arcane so bad ugh
Vi also still thinks that Jinx is brainwashed or there is a Powder to go back to. That's not the reality of it though, and Jinx even tried explaining it to her. "I changed". She's not the same person as before (and neither is Vi), but Vi doesn't want to or cannot understand this... which is why she then repeatedly triggers a number of terrible breakdowns or events.
And it’s not her fault, just like with Jinx, it's Vi's trauma. Revenge & living in the past (Vi) vs avoiding the past & trauma altogether (Jinx).
I think is very sad and beautiful that even in the end, Silco did not feel like Jinx was betraying him... he don't even cared that she shoot him... He really loved her...
I think it's worth noting that he loved Jinx, not Powder. He did everything he could to make sure she'd never go back to being a sane, normally functioning person who could coexist with her sister.
He wasn't a good person. The fact that so many people think he was "beautiful" or "decent" underneath all the bad is kind of disconcerting.
@@Goomsies normal functioning person? She got a mental breakdown just because Vi asked her to stay behind at the bar.
The truth is, Powder is deeply affected by the tragedy in episode 3. And I'm sure that Silco was deeply traumatized as well when Vander almost killed him.
If Silco didnt enter Powder's life after episode 3, she wpuld have been stuck in a mental asylum.
@@Goomsies Nobody said he was a good person--he's clearly not. But he's a loving father.
@@RaixsOreh And that breakdown was caused by the attachment issues she developed when her parents died, yeah. What I meant to say was that she'd be relatively functional.
Silco may have been a loving father, but he pushed her mental state further and further away from healthy the whole time she was with him. It may seem like he was giving her the things she needed, like time off after she messed up the mission in episode 4, but those things weren't helping her enough. He was constantly pushing her to forget her past instead of facing it, and that clearly messed her up.
The bottom line is, while he might have had decent intentions in the way he handled his relationship with Jinx, he only pushed her further into insanity. That, combined with the fact that he's extremely evil outside of that relationship, makes him not only a bad person, but also a bad influence on Jinx's mental state. He wasn't the great father figure for Jinx that everyone seems to think he was, is what I'm saying.
@@LazzyVamples He may have been a loving father figure, but he let his own trauma shape the way he dealt with Jinx's issues. He made her mental state far worse than it was when he found her by constantly pushing her to forget her past instead of facing it. He knew she had to do that, but didn't want to take the risk that she would hate him for the part he played in her family's deaths. Instead, he tried to delete the old Powder in favor of a new, mentally messed up Jinx.
I loved that after Silco got shot by Jinx. Even in his final moments Silco didn’t feel betrayed or hatred towards Jinx. Instead he says “Don’t cry, your perfect”. That had me tearing up
Silco's relationship with Vander by itself is enough to write essays. I also agree that Silco didn't hate him but also didn't forget or forgive him. He still hates the betrayal itself but now he finally understood what drove Vander to that point.
Hell, it was pretty clear even in episode 3 that Silco only targeted Vander because he needed Vander gone to bring the undercity under his rule before he could set his eyes on Piltover and Zaun's independence.
Yeah he needed the kids and vander gone most likely.
But after a while it wouldn't matter if vi came back like 7 or 10 years later.
"This is a nice dinner party!"
*Jinx brings food tray in*
🤣
In the loyalty scean there is a great easter egg. On Silcos desk is a hand made ashtray painted with pink and blue fireworks. Jinx made her dad a gift and he put it on his desk. Amazing!!
They also show off the energy blade and you forget it until she almost slices Vi's face off. They also told Silco "Today is the day you die..." He did.
Jinx and Silco's relationship was hands-down the most beautiful father daughter relationship. And the Fishbones (her rocket launcher from the game. Its her ultimate skill) reveal was phenomenal. There are so many emotions in this episode.
The Scar on Fishbones eye just like Silco ... The details in this show.
I love the interpretation that Silco went so insane during Jinx’s breakdown because he saw Jinx was having a breakdown because of why Vi was telling her and he wanted to kill Vi to stop that which caused Jinx to shoot him
His reaction in that moment is more emotional that anything we’ve seen from him before barring when Vi dropped a billboard on him, which was basically the straw that broke the camels back for him since so much stuff was failing at the moment
The scene with Silco talking to Vander's statue is actually kind of heartbreaking. You KNOW Silco is an evil person, just a real bad dude, and yet he finds himself up against the very same brick wall the Vander did all those years ago. Love for your daughter.
Silco isn't malicious, he's ruthless and believes the ends justify the means. I wouldn't say he's evil in the sense a serial killer is. Silco doesn't like what he has to do, he just thinks 8t has to be done and he is strong enough to endure it. That's why so many people find him so interesting. He's a pragmatist and thinks this the only way to achieve his goal and the outcome is worth the price.
@@Tubejin i also don’t think hes „Evil“. He just kept walking the path Vander also was on in his past and later realized that Vander was right
Jinx's feelings before were of fear and glee. Now she's just DONE with everything.
Me post 2020
Nah still going to be feeling something Hope's she let's go of vi and kills her.
Lol idrc about vi.
I think she just accepted her role as a jinx, she just got her second father figure killed. She seemed to embrace the fact that she hurts people and cause mayhem and destructive, but instead of doing it unintentional, she fully accepts it.
@@brabbelbeest third father i guess
@@marquitomarquito10 True, but I assume she didn't cause his death or blame herself for that one.
*Calls viktor attempting suicide and Jayce saving him*
*Still incredibly surprised when it happens*
Lol this show does a good job of still surprising us even when we think we know whats coming.
Speaking of physical imperfections, I like how they actually bothered to remember the non major injuries that became scars. Jayce has a scar on his cheek from the shard of glass that hit him in episode 3, and Vi has the scar on her lip she got from the knife when she was fighting two people at the same time on the bridge (also in episode 3). Neither scar were "important" or particularly prominent, yet they remembered them anyway. And we all have little scars that add up over the years (physical and mental), so it was a really nice detail.
The attention to detail is amazing. Every watch you can find more shuttle things they did that make me love this show more and more.
Just to clarfy, Silco was pointing his gun at Vi. So either she saw that as a threat to her sister, or just a threat in general. So yes, it was a visceral reaction to what Silco did, but I don't think she consciously wanted to kill him. But one way or another he forced her to make a choice.
but he shot the chair vi was sitting on
@@imory4492 I think that was actually Silco's gunshot in Vi's chair, because when he points the gun you can hear a metallic clinking noise -- which I think is the hammer of the revolver going down after he pulled the trigger
@@tomfrost1713 yeah exactly
She shot because of the clinking and as we saw... she wasn't really focused on anything after shooting probably regaining her thoughts.
Watch the frame by frame, they actually show the shot hitting Vi’s chair as she ducks her head to the side. Such a tense scene
What a legend this series is...
A legend about legends!
I have Jinx's grey and super stressed look as she's sat down in her fallen angel wing chair as my desktop wallpaper it's totally iconic.
I have the Vi and Caitlyn breaking into her house and being busted and frozen with that surprised look on their faces as my background but Jinx in her chair is a close second.
Beautiful reaction!! There are couple things I wanna say
1. Women presentation in this series thoooo, so empowering without being forced and altered. They literally just be themselves and then the impact of their action just go boom boom, instead of just speaking and change nothing like a lot of shows. Ayy
2. Daughter - father/mother or grandma relationship is sooo beautiful, its what drives most of the characters acted the way they did. It might be not the most healthy of all but it is there the love is real and beautiful.
3. Are we still sisters ?" Will always hit me and prolly everybody that watched the show, and damn the voice acting in that scene, Jinx's voice was cracking and vulnerable was so well done QwQ.
This ending is soo good Vi failing Jinx’s questions. The revealing of fishbones with the red moon and Jinx using her ultimate super mega death rocket. I was screaming while crying. I can’t wait for season 2!
Being a writer makes it harder to enjoy other works because it's hard to turn off the internal critic... but it makes it even sweeter when you come across a masterpiece like this.
Facts!
Speaking of writers- The actor who voiced Victor (Harry Lloyd) is the Great Great Great Grandson of Charles Dickens.
Yeah Silco's death stung real deep.
Ironically the song playing when jinx shoots the rocket is sung by Sting
To touch on your point on skin and insecurities, I love that Silco covers up his mutated face with makeup. It really shows how much of his "crime boss" persona is carefully crafted. Even though his face could work to his advantage to intimidate, there might be a part of him that just doesn't want it to define him, or maybe he feels like he would be perceived as weak if people saw how progressively worse his condition is getting, so he covers it up. To me, it's a parallel with Vander, who had his arm covered, perhaps for similar reasons.
In the water scene where he baptizes Jinx, he wipes his face with the same water that messed him up, wiping away the makeup. This once again, showing how comfortable he is with her, he doesn't need to be ashamed or worry about looking weak, just like she shouldn't with him.
Truly a marvelously nuanced relationship.
The way I interpret the makeup is this: As best seen with the baptism scene, he wants people to see the day he almost died not as a tragedy, but as an eye-opening experience that he learned important stuff from (hence why he just dips Jinx in the water and acts like it's the same as his experience). It's why he references his eye quite a bit when talking about his understanding. He hides the scarred part that makes his eye look like an actual injury both as part of his carefully crafted respectable persona, but also so he can remind people not to see their bruises and scars as weaknesses, even if they hurt.
Healthy? Probably not, but it's oddly inspiring.
Fun fact The werewolf on the wall in the ending scene with the scientist, was Vander brought back as Warwick
See from my perspective I'm more on Vi's side in the beginning then Jayce. Vi's seen way too much of it to just pass it off, and I mean she's not wrong. He's never had to suffer from the things Vi, or the children have. He's young and inexperienced things will slip past him, I get that, but he's never had to as Vi says "look it in the eye." I think she meant him and the council as whole, which I mean to be fair, they have done nothing, but I can see how it can come off in poor taste. Then again, to be fair, you guys have way more empathy towards Jayce then I have lol Lastly, I don't think Jayce is a bad person at all, truthfully, just in that situation I think Vi's perspective is more understandable. I think Vi's words as well as Viktor being so close to him, it brought him to the decision in the end.
I think both Jayce and Vi had something big to learn from eachother, because they're right that Jayce saying "you won't make it alone" is something Vi needs to work on, leaving people or pushing them away isn't protection. And even if it was, Caitlyn is a goddamn cop, she chose this life. Let her put herself in danger for you.
But Jayce had a reality check of is own, beyond the whole "I've killed a kid now". More like, Fuck... have I always been complicit in people dying down here? And I know he hasn't been a councilor for very long, but still... yeah, you kinda have been. You don't get to be a scientist on topside, blissfully unaware and ignorant of the atrocities that are happening on the other side of the bridge.
@@mathies3598 You put that together much better than I could lol. I think the main reason I feel that way is just from, I guess, harshness of each lesson? Learning to understand your emotions and not push everyone away because you're scared of the "what if" is less severe of a problem then just completely ignorance of children working in a factory in a place is over run by shimmer, with people dying every day.
@@EraseMemoriesHD completely agreed
@@mathies3598 I agree with about Vi. I think most people forget that Vi just came off of the prison. Like, she was fighting everyday to survive in prison, she has big traumas too, and that need to be work and I think Caitlyn will help with that.
Sorry about my English, I am from Brazil.
Jayce chose the better option go talk to silco.
See if we can get things to settle down.
Not CHARGE IN BURN IT ALL FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.
Vi is just plain dumb she doesn't think.
Terrible leader.
Jinx shoot Silco because he took the gun and wanted to kill Vi. He even shoot one bullet next to her head and Jinx protected Vi without thinking.
One way of looking. It was Powder's last act to protect Vi by shooting Silco. Then Jinx avenged Silco by nuking the council with a Hextech-Chem missile.
I’m pretty sure she just picked up the gun and started shooting at crap. Silco only got shot cause he didn’t duck like Vi did. but that’s just how i see it
@@abcd-mo5mo we see him pick up the gun and pull the trigger before Jinx shoots him.
I believe the writers have confirmed she had no real conscious knowledge of what was going on in the room during her breakdown, and just gut reacted to the sound of the hammer coming down on the gun Silco was firing.
@@abcd-mo5mo Vi can't have been in Jinx's range on shooting, because Vi and Silco were on opposite sides of the room. Plus, you can literally see Jinx looking directly at Silco before she gets up and shoots directly at him.
I put this in another reaction but I just want to say that Vi doesn't keep leaving. At least not without reasons.
-In ep 3 she put some distance between them to cool off after hitting Powder. As soon as she saw Silco approach Powder she got up to save her and was drugged by Marcus and sent to prison.
-In ep 6 she went to reunite with Jinx as soon as she saw the signal. Then the firelights interrupted them and she got knocked out and kidnapped.
-In ep 7 she was going to go look for Jinx again until Marcus shot at Ekko and was holding Caitlyn at gunpoint. What was Vi supposed to do? Keep walking and let Caitlyn get shot?
-At the end of the episode Vi left because what else was she supposed to do? She just watched her sister blow up several enforcers to pieces and then Jinx literally tried to kill Caitlyn and almost got Vi killed to. You can see in Vi's eyes that she's also scared of Jinx and what she has done and there was clearly no reasoning with Jinx at this moment.
-She did leave Caitlyn in the rain but in no way could she have guessed that Jinx was going to show up and kidnap Caitlyn
"In ep 7 she was going to go look for Jinx again until Marcus shot at Ekko and was holding Caitlyn at gunpoint. What was Vi supposed to do? Keep walking and let Caitlyn get shot?"
Jinx: "Yes"
That's what makes the final song "What could have been" hits so hard. The show is the tragedy of chance. I'm not even sure there's a true villain outside of the chaos of random chance.
Jinx didn't kill silco out of a accidental fit of rage. She heard her gun was about to be fired and instantly realized silco was about to kill her sister, you can even see the bullet pass through her chair right after she fires. She instinctively chose her sister over silco and what makes this whole situation even more sadder is from Jinx's perspective vi wasn't willing to shoot catilyn for jinx but jinx shoot silco for vi highlights the difference in there type of love they have for each other.
THIS
It's definitely an easy thing to miss tho.
I mean, I don't think it's a different of type of love, I think Vi just wouldn't kill someone, ESPECIALLY not Caitlyn, for any type of love. The fact that Jinx is willing to do that is really sad, but also that she was forced to make that Choice. For Vi it wasn't a choice between Jinx and Caitlyns lives. It was Caitlyns life and... the promise of Powder returning? Which might not even be something Jinx can actually deliver on.
Silco was going to kill Vi because she was hurting Jinx and giving her a panic attack, he hated seeing her in pain.
Vander became a monster to save Vi.
Silco became a human to save Jinx.
Perfectly said
Things were happening real fast at the end there in the midst of Jinx’s breakdown, so I think you may have missed the fact that Jinx killed Silco because he managed to grab the gun off the table and get a shot off on Vi. It’s the details like that, that make this show so rewatchable. 😄
Except it had nothing to do with him "getting a shot off on Vi"
She heard the sound of a gun, and like we've been shown before she simply reacts, with Vi forcing her to imagine all the monsters in her mind she's incredibly volatile and doesn't even notice WHO she shot before she manages to calm down a bit.
As someone else said:
Powder killed Silco, Jinx was the one who avenged him.
@@MrWizeazz wait
That's from ANGELINAA aka ngelinakim on her patreon right? XD
That quote of hers still resonates with me.
@@Mirvra nah. She saw.
@@iCyberDev
I believe so, yea.
Silco took Jinx’s pistol and shot at Vi because Vi was “hurting” Jinx by getting her to be Powder. So Powder/Jinx shot Silco to protect Vi.
This show is amazingly complex. I love it so much- it never fails to make me cry.
Nah, writers stated he shot because he didn't want to lose Jinx. Vi wasn't hurting her. Silco was never fully aware of just how deep Jinx's trauma and mental issues went.
@@ymir6286 Okay, I can buy that too.
Silco was terrified of losing Jinx, he didn't want Vi to take his daughter away from him and turn her into Powder again, that's why he grabbed the gun and tried to shoot Vi, but Jinx jinxed it, accidently killing him by friendly fire and grieved over his death.
Silco could relate to Jinx, they were both betrayed and alone in the world, that's why he was so affectionate about her, because she resembled himself. He loved and cared for her, even if she wasn't actually perfect, kept screwing up, jinxing everything, etc. yet he couldn't blame her, because Jinx is who she is, that's what makes her perfect and only Silco could see the truth, while Jinx was blind and still thought she could be loved for being "different" and she first came to a realization after Silco's death.
Vi created Jinx, but Silco accomplished her.
@@ymir6286 I mean it can be both, Silco can try and shoot Vi both because he’s worried she’ll take her away and because she’s pushing his daughter into a horrible panic attack when she’s already unstable
@@ymir6286 False. Vi was very clearly hurting Jinx and Silco knew it fully well. The only way this situation could've gone where Silco would lose Jinx is if she died, because Vi wasn't going to kill Caitlyn meaning Jinx wasn't leaving with her. The writers made it clear Silco was trying to help Jinx.
Joker: "In their last moments, people show you who they really are." Silco: "I never would have given you to them...not for anything. Don't cry, you're perfect."
It's just an anime show, chill out cringelord, maybe go outside and touch some grass?
@@wooshbait36 Can't. It's frozen over. And, I'm not the first person to make that comparison, I just happen to agree with it.
@@wooshbait36 (slow sarcastic clap) Woooow...someone's taking themselves too seriously
@@dgrmn12345 cringe
@@wooshbait36 I think your projecting lol
You keep saying “I hope Vi learns not to keep leaving”. When exactly did she keep leaving? In episode 3, she didn’t leave. She stepped away to cool off then got kidnapped and put in jail before she could go to Powder. In episode 6 when she reunited with Powder she got knocked out and taken by the Firelights. In episode 7, Jinx literally shot at Vi after blowing up an entire fleet of Enforcers (and tried to kill Ekko and Caitlyn with those same bombs). Was she supposed to just let her finish the kill on Caitlyn? So her options on that bridge were A) leave with Caitlyn safely or B) stay and FIGHT her sister to stop her from killing the rest of her intended victims of the bug explosions. If that qualifies as “leaving” (I don’t think it does given the circumstances) then that’s still only 1 time she “left”.
Yeah they seemed to have this weird bias against Vi 🙄.
You’re not wrong but she 100% left powder alone in episode 3 when they went to rescue vander, which led to her being unsupervised and started the whole chain of events
@@rageTG She left her in a safe place at the hideout. Taking her to the most dangerous place possible would’ve been 100x more irresponsible. And leaving her there was the right decision because they would’ve gotten Vander out safely if Powder hadn’t shown up. Mylo picked the locks that held Vander. Claggor opened the escape hole in the wall. Vi held the henchmen off. What purpose would Powder have served in that situation other than as a potential weak spot for the enemies? Not only that, she was the slowest and least capable at traveling quickly and not a fighter. Vi was right to leave her out of that mission.
@@rageTG She also left powder and everyone when she contacted the enforcers to turn herself in for the theft in ep 2/3
@@jayfrancelf You can spin it however you want... She left her.
Silco IS a villain. Its just that a good villain doesnt have to be bad in all aspects. In fact, they are way more compelling if they have objectively good sides like Silco.
Silco is an absolutely despicable person with a noble goal and genuine love for his surrogate daughter. Still a villain but a really great one.
Yeah I try not to knock people for viewing Silco as a good person or at the very least not a villain but then that's what good writing can do. He told the mother of the kid who died when she tried to betray him that he would have had her son killed. That's a villain. He also held a virtual gun to Marcus's daughter's head. That's a villain. And Ekko said it best that after Vander died everyone in the under city became a victim or an addict after he took over because he was a drug lord. That's a villain but again good writing can make it hard to remember those details. So I get it but yes. He is definitely 100% of villain but in a very killmonger kind of way a villain who has more than one dimension and a good goal overall which is the independence of their people
Villain, antagonist, he's the guy in the way of some of the other main characters. The question is whether he's evil.
@@Tubejin i mean, villain and antagonist arent synonyms. 'The guy in the way of some of the main characters' is an antagonist but doesnt need to be a villain. Villains however are morally reprehensible and in that way are a subset of antagonists.
And yes, unless we go so nuanced that evil doesnt exist anymore, by most definitions Silco is evil.
@@mistrants2745 that's what I'm saying, do the ends justify the means? What Vander was doing was just a passive version of the same choice. He was allowing people to suffer and accepting that the ends justified the means. It's to takes on the same problem. One is an active immoral position, one is a passive one. Neither is totally right or wrong. I'm not sure Arcane has a villain, just a bunch of antagonists getting in each other's way. The tragedy of "What could have been."
Guys... Vi is COMPLETELY right at the start. You started protesting against her immediately, but ultimately, this whole child labor factory, and Lanes flooded with shimmer is a result of neglectance from the council. Kids are dying constantly. Jayce needed this reality check of, what the fuck do you mean "part of this now"? Do you think the council was never responsible for the undercity? Jayce may have kicked out Heimer for a lack of a plan, but he didn't have his own either.
"She's pushing everyone away" that's assuming she wants to be friends with Jayce. If he can't accept his responsibilities to the entire city then Vi's like I don't even wanna know you.
Yeah but I think Jayce understands all of this, but he still thinks Vi's actions are the incorrect way to go about this. Continuing to kick down doors and destroy shimmer factories will just result in the direct deaths of more children. Jayce is simply saying that this is no longer the way he wants to go about this, that he has his own ways. And he did act on those ways, he went for the path of peace, and if it was for Jinx, it probably all would have happened.
We have to remember, Vi is being mostly selfish in her quest to rid the Undercity of Silco and free Jinx of his grasp. So I don't know if you should be 100% on Vi's side, as she is being very reckless and is unable to accept others help.
@@lockekappa500 Jayce's pursuit for peace would've been a good idea if he didn't ask for their leader to give up his daughter. But, at the same time, they don't wanna cut the undercity loose with such a big threat still out there. For me, children dying because they were caught in the crossfire of a battle, or OD'd on Shimmer, or just starved to death, shouldn't make a difference.
As for trying to get rid of Silco, I don't see how that's a selfish goal. He might have improved the lives of his gang and the chembarons, but the whole of the undercity? Suffering like never before. If child labor in a factory is the safer alternative for your kid to anything else, something's severely wrong with your living space. Silco kinda became a new aristocratic ruler of Zaun. Replaced the council with a new form of neglect and ignorance, created new classes within Zaun itself. But somehow it's selfish for Vi to try to rid her city of him? Bro is a whole new problem of his own.
This! I was honestly surprised they were ragging on Vi in that scene when she was CLEARLY spittin facts. I guess it's cause they have a bias for jayce 🤷.
Hard agree. Also love how clear it is that Vi had stolen the gauntlets in her mind from the time she even tried them on, and her "make me" is just so bad ass
@@patricktorres1292 They're not wrong about Vi distancing herself from others and jumping into things impulsively though.
That’s the happiest I’ve ever seen any reactor be for Savika’s survival 😂 it’s so random, I kinda love it lol
There's a theory I like that Silco only tried to shoot Vi because she was causing Jinx to have a mental breakdown. When Vi is shouting about Vander, Claggor, Milo, and their parents,Silco already knows how fragile Jonx's mental state is. He shouts "Don't listen to her!" because he's likely seen this happen before. He tried to shoot Vi to shut her up, and Jinx reflexively shot him to protect her sister.
Honestly, I think Silco knew what would happen when he reached for that gun.
I don’t know, kidnapping a few people and then making your sister think you were about to show her the severed head of her gf as a way of mentally/emotionally torturing her and then asking her to murder said gf in order to get the version of her sister she can handle back… on top of all the delusions and voices and murder… seems pretty far gone to me. I love Jinx but the girl is gone. She’s a victim, for sure, she’s just not the only victim in this scene.
The narrative plays with the idea of Powder vs Jinx a lot, and while that works well as a narrative tool, people really do take that so literally when that’s not how things like this work. Jinx gives Vi a false choice here. You’ll notice that Powder’s chair is pushed in at the table and surrounded by clutter while Jinx’s chair is out and ready to be sat in at any time. But what Jinx wants is for Vi to enable all her destructive tendencies and encourage her behavior. Let her get away with murder, like she used to, like Silco did in the present. But she can’t do that.
It doesn’t mean Vi doesn’t love her sister, she just can’t be an enabler anymore. She meant what she said, that they’ll always be sisters, that she’ll always love her.
☝️☝️
She wasn't raging.
She instinctively protected Vi as Silco tried to shoot her.
No rage, no intent, just pure reaction.
The same way you remove your hand from the stove, you don't think... You just do it.
Thank you for your reaction! Family dinner is the great dramatic ending! The satisfying end of the season for me is the Jinx deciding who she is. When she sat on that chair with Jinx name like a boss, this is it! She finally accepted who she is and her past is not tearing her personality apart, no more, scars remain, but she let go her past, like Silco try to told her earlier! And by the way Jinx shot Silco because he was aiming at Vi! (When Vi repeat those Names at her for Vi those are good memories, but for Jinx they were haunting ghosts, so Silco was seeing her suffering and want it to stop )
P.S. There is one scene in last 9th episode which I find very important for season 2, but a lot people overlooked it. When Silco and Jayce was meeting on city walls, Jayce said: "I was reminded recently of what brought us together in the first place The threats beyond our walls". And Silco had answered: "The city has a short memory". Threats beyond OUR walls! Like Noxus Empire, the mommy general Medarda is part of! So I hope, that in Season 2, the both parts of the City, after some struggle, will be forced to cooperate for survival and fight the outsiders to remain independent.
Pain is a tricky mistress sometimes it wears masks of the people we love and there is nothing anyone can do but keep walking forward and trying to change our paths and hope that it reduces the pain that will come for us all in the end
I think the gun jinx used at the end was her showing Silco she loved him because it's inspired by a sea creature which he always loved.
Me, knowing Caitlyn is a champion in the game and therefore must survive going into the show.
Also me, seeing Jinx bring out the tray, “oh no, no. She didn’t, did she? Oh fuck she could have.”
She killed Silco because he grabbed the gun she set on the table and he was going to shoot Vi
if you see it in slow motion he shot the chair
@@imory4492 you can also see that Vi turned her body slightly and tilted her head to get out of the way
@@striderbob10 yeah that's exactly what I saw 👍
I mean... he's clearly a villain. That memory of Vander he's drinking with is a memory because he kidnapped Vander, tortured Vander, set a trap for anyone who might try to rescue him, planned to kill him along with anyone who rescued him, and after it turned out to be A BUNCH OF CHILDREN, still fully attempted to carry out that plan - and he still carried the primary moral responsibility for their deaths, since the monkey bomb was an attempt to rescue those people from Silco. That's who he was in the first arc and still who he is in the last arc. That he also has complicated human emotional motives makes him a *good villain character*, not a *good person*.
Jinx shot Silco to protect her sister, who he literally tried to shoot in the face. It's literally the best reason anyone ever had to shoot anyone. Watch it back you'll see Silco actually gets a shot off that goes through the back of Vi's chair.
Go outside and touch some grass, but before that clean your fingers from orange dust from eating chips all day. Pathetic.
I think he's a HORRIBLE person but not a villain. He's evil and does a whole lot of messed up things but his motives to me never screamed villain, of course he was not a hero tho so idk
@@voldetoad5967 Did you have a stroke?
He needed the kids dead would vander leave his children?
No.
No she shot out of hearing a gun.
After shooting she is looking at nothing and her brain is restarting.
From the beginning Jinx has always existed in Powder. Unlike Vander, unlike Vi, Silco could see that. But Jinx, was not always the Jinx we had at the end of the series. She was basically a child with superpowers. From her demeanor, to her struggles with following/waiting for instruction, to the way she interacted with her fellow subordinates, you weren't looking at a crazy person you were looking at a troubled child. Silco actually tried to help her with this, in his own way. His story of the water and his symbolic baptism of Powder into Jinx. Before she was a girl who was fractured between who she was and who she would become. For a brief period of time after she was getting better, but then she found out that Silco lied, and he lied a lot.
Had Vi never returned, Jinx would not have gone back to being the fractured amalgamation of Powder and Jinx. Her fears, her hesitance, her regrets would have been allowed to disappear into the background, she would have had the chance to become stable. But this is all predicated on the fact that at the end of the day, Silco wanted what he believed would be best for Jinx. The biggest moment that solidified what Jinx became was ultimately not at the result of Vi or Silco, it was at the hands of Singed. With Jinx's psyche already being so fragile, the shimmer put into her system to save her exacerbated her mental issues which would result in all of her end of story tendencies, none of which were bestowed to her from Vi during her time as Powder or from Silco during her time as Jinx. All of which stemmed from her.
This is why during the final scene she gives Vi and Silco the option to choose who she is going to be for the rest of her days. Neither Powder nor Jinx can survive while the other is permitted to exist in the aftermath of her Shimmer treatment. So when she settles on Jinx, finally letting Powder die, all of her experience with Jinx became enhanced and magnified. But since Jinx never got the chance to finish healing before the Shimmer and the only person who accepted Jinx (who might have been her stability) is also now gone, killed by her own hands, Jinx is this crazy, violent, uncontrollable killer.
All of this is to say, it is a fantastic view of what happens to children when they have no solid foundation for their life. If your parents are fighting, if you're being pulled in all directions, if the lack of stability leads to mental instability, if that instability leads to medication with no additional treatment, what chance do you have as a kid? Vi was a protective older sister trying desperately to protect her sister with no power to do anything to actually help her. Silco was a proud father who charged ahead with what he thought was right but could not give the kind of time and effort that Jinx needed because of his pursuit of his own ambitions. While Shimmer saved her life, it was only ever going to bring to light the broken pieces that can't just be magicked away and fuel them with the same power it gave to the rest of her body. Ultimately, when it comes to Jinx, because nobody would just sit down, stop, and work together for her well being, she never stood a chance. No matter how good their intentions.
My favorite description of what happened when Silco died is that Powder killed Silco to protect her sister. Then Jinx killed Powder to avenge her father.
Please react to “Arcane Easter Eggs videos" with your sister...that would be dope to see you guys reaction to it.
The funny thing is that Jinx really did make her a snack, because what was under the lid was a cupcake!
These reaction videos are amazing great job on this you guys are spectacular😄✌
Yeah, I think Jinx telling Vi that she needs to kill Caitlyn if she wants Powder back is a pretty good sign that she is indeed 'too far gone'. On top of murdering more than a dozen cops and several of Ekko's friends... Vi and Jinx exiling themselves was really the only option that was even remotely peaceful for them.
Victor definitely survives, because he's in the game the series is based on, but he's all armored up. He may be injured to the point of going full Darth Vader, replacing major body parts with machinery (in this case, augmented with magic) for the sake of survival. As for Jinx, I feel she did the right thing. Any "peace" between zaun and piltover would be just another excuse for piltover to continue taking advantage of zaun. If I take anything from this show, it's that the worse the state of oppression is, the less peace becomes an option. RIP Silco, the worst casualty of the show, and the first of zaun's war for independence.
Great reaction and discussion, made me realize stuff about the show I didn't notice before
Jinx is the personification of the saying "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth".
Fun fact
Silco loved sharks thats why the gun is a shark
Love your Berserk shirt! That's cool to know you guys are into dark writing, I am myself so it made total sense that I connected to you guys a lot while watching this episode. Seen a lot of reactors but this one hit hard. I've often found the cruelest people to also be the kindest. Watching you guys react to Silco's death ripped my heart out. "Don't cry...you're perfect" easily my favorite sincere line from a villain of all time. Haven't in years but I could hydrate the world with my tears.
Silco's a villain in the simplest sense. Like he does manipulation and murder. Fairly cut and dry, just what he needs to get things done. His writing as a villain is one of my favorites though, next to Jon Irenicus. There was enough human in him to be appealing.
You gotta be kidding me. Ive watched like a thousand reaction videos on every subject and you two are the best. You are literally the most entertaining pair I've ever seen. You are so real. I got misty when you got misty. I said Oooohhh when you said Oooohhh and I said NOOOO when y'all said NOOOO. Even though I couldn't see what you you were reacting to (I've watched it a dozen times) I knew what you were seeing. You both are Gold. I would love to just be in the same room with you two and watch a random movie.
Thank you so much! 😁
@@AllAgesofGeek Bonus for the Pikachus.
This whole show was an amazing experience. Love your reactions. In the fight scene where vi almost runs into the blade you see it slicing all over, it goes up and down and then across at the bottom with a small arc making the letter A the way it looks in the title of the show. The way they show throughout the show the eyes, the way silco's eye is and then the eye on jinx and on the shark gun. In the beginning you see powder as a child crying and vi angry, then in the end vi is in tears and jinx is angry. The color of the shimmer and hextech, the nail colors, etc., the way they show the gemstones and cupcakes throughout the show. The way silco always encouraged jinx even when she made mistakes, he would always tell her she is perfect. And in the last part silco grabs the gun and you can see he fires a shot at vi in the chair and it misses and goes through the chair as he is upset at what she is saying to jinx and what that is doing to her, he has a reaction and she has a reaction. She was trying to help in episode 3 and killed people, then she kills silco, seems like that sisterhood is real, she killed again when her sister was in danger. Every single character in this show added something, and I understand jinx the most because I know that feeling of being alone or even being around people and listening to them or hearing what they say about me and the conversations I have with myself to deal with it. I rarely ever cry, this show let me do it and let it out. Finn was right about today's the day day you die silco, he just didn't know how it would unfold, and jinx did return the gemstone in the end.
Riot Games just did video game to movie adaptations justice.
The greatest comment I have seen about Arcane, and possibly the greatest comment I have ever seen on TH-cam ever. 'The last act of Powder was killing Silco, the first act of Jinx was to avenge him.' Maybe not verbatim to the original posting, but it is so beautiful and true.
People who watched or watching video "Get Jinxed"
before Arcane: 🤩🤩😍😍🤪🤪😎😎
after Arcane: 😰😰😰
I know you already reacted to "get jinxed" few years ago. But after watching Arcane it is worth to re watch it. Its so cool how much they keep from her character from that 2013 Music Video. Also the same studio made arcane and get jinxed.
I know things were going a little fast in the scene but the reason Jinks shot Silco was because he picked up the gun and was about to shoot Vi. She reacted.
For me, the most fucked up situation is Jinx misunderstanding what silco says...whatbit really means the conversation betwen him and Vander.
16:00
And what do i loose but problems.....i sugest to you you hear that again, how he say it, hes almost tearing. And the; is there anything so undoing as a daugther.....fuck me.
The first thing we see powder doing was sneaking into Piltover plus we saw Vi carrying Caitlyn sneaking straight into Caitlyn's bedroom I think it isn't so farfetched that Jinx was able considering how sneaky she is (hanging in Silco's office unnoticed, sneaking into the last drop to scare chuck and sneaking into and out if Silco's office to interrogate him being examples).
Vi didnt know she has a shield, because in order to activate it, she would need to block an attack with hand. And it was the first time she actually tries to block it xD (with hand not with her face lol)
When writings so good you think the villain is the good guy
I'm pretty sure Mel and the entire council will die from the explosion and Viktor is the closest to Jayce and he'll use some kind of Hextech power to save Jayce from dying also and those two will be the only survivors from the blast. Once Mrs. Medarda realizes that her daughter is dead, how she lost both her son and daughter, she will wage a war against nation of Zaun, Jayce will grieve over Mel's death and give in, start making Hextech weapons and help Mrs. Medarda defeat the nation of Zaun and that's how we'll get the war between Piltover and Zaun.
Oddly, Noxus and Zaun team up in the LOL lore. Zaun (Singed) making weapons for Noxus.
every character in this series has good intentions.... vi, jinx, the senate, jayce, silco, heimerdinger., vendar.. and they all fuck it up
Guys, if the character is a playable character within the game, it is obvious that he is not going to die. That's kind of a spoiler in a way, I know. But just taking that in mind, you can know who surely survived the explosion.
Yeah .. and that is very unfortunate ...
Wow, your "theory number 1" was so on point lmao
Even to the very end yall gave Jinx all the passes for chaos......I love it lol
Crazy people will be crazy. Jinx is a force of nature. Chaos in human form.
if jinx had realized that him saying is there anything as undoing as a daughter was him deciding not to take the deal things would have been ... different such a good series and ep
"What Could Have Been"
The tiny bit of Powder remaining "woke up" in Jinx and she protected her sister Vi, by killing Silco before he kills Vi (he was aiming at Vi with the gun)
He fired it. It just missed and went into Vi's chair.
It doesn't matter how much Silco loves Jinx, he IS A VILLAIN. He has committed murders, and is pushing a drug that is ruining the lives of the people he claims to want to improve. He is very complex, but his complexity doesn't change the fact that he is a villain. Vander was doing his part without creating a drug to make himself rich. He formed an honest relationship with the then Sheriff, and didn't use bribes or scapegoats. That's the difference. Silco is an amazing, complex character, but he is most definitely a villain.
Silco.. the one who hate his brother,kill and said weak man
Now Silco became Vander.. so sad that you need to love or adapt a little girl to understand why your brother let go of her dream revolution
"Oh it all make sense now BROTHER"
Мне нравится момент после того убийства Финна. Силко сидит совершенно растерянный, секунда и он уже полностью овладел собой, и угрожает другому барону.
I loved the reaction
This last episode you gals said that Jinx was raging & that she accidentally killed Silco. I don't think that is the case. I think she was very aware of what was going on around her even though she was battling the voices in her head. If you noticed, Silco had picked up the pistol that Jinx had put down on the table when Caitlin had her at gun point. He was about to shoot Vi when Jinx shot him. In the choice between her sister & Silco, Vi, her sister came 1st, proving blood is thicker than water. After she realized what she had done, then she ran to him apologizing for shooting him. Yeah, so I don't believe it was accidental at all.
Finn was right, Silco dies today, just not the way he was expecting.
I had assumed the champions all had character shields, at least for the first season and certainly before gaining their iconic weapons. Even so the scene at the dinner table scared me as to what Jinx did off screen. They really had me going for a minute. Silco however was the only one at that table who wasn't a champion and I was expecting him to die sooner or later, just not like that.
I'm not sure how powerful Jinx's R would be in Arcane, but I don't think she will kill Jacyee or Viktor. Maybe one or two of the other guys will survive. However things aren't looking good for Mel.
Silco was about to kill Vi with Jinx's pistol, that's why she shot him.
I know that Silco is a relatable, complex, well-written character, but he is still a villain. He seems so real because he reflects how a real person would be "evil". Every single person that does something bad, even the most horrible actions you could possibly think of, have a justification as to why they did those actions. Silco reminds me of real revolutionaries that fund their movements with drug money and control their zones with military force. Fighting for the idea of independence while not caring what damage they do to the actual people they say they fight for.
Ultimately Silco was willing to sacrifice everyone until it came to his daughter. This complexity is what makes him a likable character, but nothing erases the years of damage he did to the undercity. Just because someone is likable (real of fiction), it doesn't excuse their actions.
There are rarely truly evil people. Almost everyone thinks they are right and just. Silco is much more realistic than most antagonists. It's an interesting debate is he a villain or an antagonist. What does it mean to be a villain. He really walks this line and it makes everything gray. Vander betrayed him and tried to kill him, is Silco really to blame for how things turned out? It's such good writing.
It was not an accident that she shot Silco, if you review the scene in slow motion you can see that Silco shot Vi, you can tell there are bullet holes in Vi's chair when she go off the chair, so instinct from Jynx caused her to shoot Silco to save her sister. The amazing thing about this show is that several times he puts these quick scenes to make us review it again, like at the end of episode 8 I didn't realize Jynx was in the bathroom, and I reviewed it after reading the comments. When Jynx lifts the lid it quickly shows Caitlyn's face and then the cupcake and many other scenes have quick flashbacks. I really liked your reaction, I can't wait for the second session.
im pretty sure Mel has a Locket of the Iron Solari and that saves everyone. she wheres a lot of Solair clothing or it looks like it in the show
You may be on to something. My daughter who plays this game a lot pointed that out to me. It gives hope for the upcoming series.
VI always try to push Jinx to remember who she was... but thats the thing that Jinx wanted to forget bc all the traumas instead of accept who she is now. Only Silco is the only one sees her as a perfect daughter
Mel's armor is magic and has the Zhonya's ability which can turn her and probably the whole room invulnerable.
to be fair, this is not netflix, it's only "presented" on netflix, it's actually fortiche and riot
Damn, why don't they cap out their volume during editing? It's okay to have it jump up and down, but within reason, right? If it goes from your normal speaking volume to what feels like 5-10 times of that, that's like you don't want your audience to feel comfortable.
IKR! I keep the volume pretty low, when watching their reactions.
Shoutout to the 100% club you are the real MVP’s!
Dude....come on! You really think Jinx shooting Silco was an accident? It was Jinx's instinct kicking in to protect her sister, after Silco attempted to kill Vi. Rewatch if you need to, but the bullet just missed Vi.
No, it was instinct lol.
Nothing more nothing less.
Like when she pulled out the strap at the bird lol.
She accidentally shot silco.
*Sip Tea*
Silco took the handgun on the table and shit at Vi, that's why she shot him. If you watch again, you see the shit go high and through Vi's chair. Powder instinctively protected her. It may have been the last thing Powder ever did.
All hail Jinx.
She didn't kill Silco by accident. Silco was aiming at Vi. Killing him was Powder's final, desperate stand to protect her sister.
Avenging him? That's all Jinx. And she started with Powder.
Also, as for the Council? Jayce and Viktor are guaranteed to live, they're actual League Champions. Everyone else in the room? Caitlyn's Mother? That's a whole other question.
"WHAT THE FUCK!!"
"...It gets worse."
Everyone thought Cait’s head was on the platter 😂
Don’t know if you guys have already seen it,but a good dramatic anime is..grave of the fireflies.
Amazing Finale. Seasson 2 gonna be S I C K
We always sympathize with broken people, it’s easy because we’re all broken in some way, but there are lines and once crossed you just can’t walk it back any more. Jinx crossed all those lines, she’s a monster now, she can’t walk it back. Her trauma can no longer excuse her actions. She started a war of aggression, all the death that rocket will cause is on her, lives lost, families torn apart, it’s all on her, the ripples of death and retaliation that cause, she did that, no one else. Her path is set, I can pity her but I can no longer sympathize with her, she is the villain and she deserves to be placed in Stillwater for the rest of her life, she must pay for her crimes.
Great reaction guys! I can’t believe some people actually think that Silco manipulated jinx til the very end. Smh
Silco. Bad guy. Great dad. only person to make jinx feel wanted.
