      Episode 6 is my favorite.
      My prediction for Season 2:
      My prediction: Mel knows magic, and or she wears magic items, and that magic is going to protect all or some of the council from destruction.
      My rationale: Mel is from Noxus, a warmongering kingdom where Magic isn't stigmatized like other parts of Runeterra. For the entirety of the season, she has been very pro-magic, and has said that she sponsored Hextech to protecc Piltover; this could be because she is a magic user, and knows some protection magic. She also has been seen to always wear the golden items/accessories as part of her outfits. These accessories could potentially be magic items that shields the wearer from harm. In the final moments, her golden backplate shines, and she turns to the window before the missile has even struck, almost as if she sensed or was warned of it coming. Finally she is seated next to Jayce and Viktor putting her in a prime position to also protect them from harm/death.

    Jinx realised Vi wasn't there for her, she was there for Powder who is never coming back, so Silco wasn't lying. In the mean time he gave her the understanding and validation she was always after but denied from the beginning, even with his dying breath he made sure she knew she was valued.

      @@MinimumWageREI but we have a strong clue and it's not vi's fault, she's a sibling not a parent. We see that she doesn't really understands jinx when she misses what she is trying to say to her. Make her go away. Cait is the monster that's too much for her, not Silco. Vi doesn't get her head around that cause it's against her to biggest needs at the moment for her own trauma: the love for Cait and the hate towards silco.
      At this point there is no questions that silco is a father to jinx as Vander was to Vi and yet Vi would do to Jinx what silco did to her. Arcane defines being a good parent in one action, giving up your life and goals for your daughter (Vander Marcus silco) and that's what jinx needs and vi can't do.

  • @MinimumWageREI
    @MinimumWageREI ปีที่แล้ว +36

    When Jinx blew herself up, Silco kissed her head when he set her on Singe's table. She was so far gone, she couldn't even know it happened. Silco LOVES Jinx. He's fucked up, but genuine to his core.

    • @Mi_Z
      @Mi_Z ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Georgia Dow, the therapist who made a bunch of Arcane videos here, made a similar point. We can tell how much she means to him by the fact that he shows these emotions when she doesn't even know. He's obviously not trying to manipulate someone who is unconscious and therefore not aware of what he is doing. This also applies to the previous scene on the bridge, when he rushes to her, worry on his face, then cradles and picks her up.
      Showing his emotions in front of his henchmen on the bridge ... or even if we go further back, with Jinx knickknacks on his desk... aren't things that benefit him either as a crime boss. If anything, it'd be a cost, as it makes him look weaker, not stronger. But they are very father-like things to do.
      I know some here think that he views Jinx purely as a tool, which is nonsense to me. Nobody kisses and cradles their hammers.

    One of the great bits of writing in this show that I love is how Ambessa (Mel's Mom) is actually the character who understands the situation the best of everyone, but the writers do a great job of making her so unlikable that you don't want to believe her. Everything she says either is true or proves prophetic. Ambessa is the only character who understands the mechanics of revolution, and she recognized that Piltover was already past the tipping point.

  • @xanadu6784
    @xanadu6784 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    When Silco says, "You're perfect" there's an undertone. During the baptism scene, he tells Jinx, "Jinx is perfect". And his last words are, "You're perfect". He knows that Powder is gone, and she is all Jinx.
    And say what you will about Silco, he is the only person who has accepted Jinx for who she is. Vi still calls her Powder. Jinx knows Powder is gone. Can you love someone if you don't even know their name?
    Oh, and I don't think that when Jinx says that Vi made Jinx, that it is her throwing it in Vi's face. Jinx is Jinx, and doesn't regret being Jinx. If anything, Vi ended Powder and made Jinx strong, like she always wanted.
    What she resents about Vi is that she kept her alive. We may think that's good, but for Jinx, it's a continuation of her trauma and suffering. She is alive because of her sister, but there's a big part of her that wishes she wasn't.

    • @omalleycaboose5937

  • @phkun4435
    @phkun4435 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    Silco surely wansn't the healthiest figure for Jinx, but he gave her something that Vi never truly did, the one thing that she wanted the most: to be trusted. Even if it is completely understandable, Vi didn't trust Jinx, not only that, but she rejected her entire identity of Jinx, and spoke of bringing Powder back. And Jinx knew that, the cupcake thing was supposed to be a test, not only of how Vi would react to the prospect of Cait possibly being dead, but of what she thought Jinx was capable of, and she didn't go well in it. The way to heal Jinx passes through going against all the broken parts of her ego, that's the hardest part.

    • @stellaa_rrose
      @stellaa_rrose ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That is so valid. And for Jinx in the stage of her life, trust and acceptance are very much in the same ballpark. An intense trigger for her is feeling like a monster or a burden, and like those around her will abandon her out of fear or disappointment. Silco is the only one who doesn’t fear her.

  • @th3voice

    "Now she's going to say it's your fault, you made Jinx" She wouldn't say that, because she doesn't consider it a FAULT. She became that which survived her situation... she's trying to give Vi the CREDIT for what she became, not the BLAME. Vi, of course, doesn't quite see it that way, though it's entirely accurate.

    One might think throughout the show that Silco is manipulating Jinx, but if you really think about it, also with his last words... He really did care about her and was always telling the truth. That's why he says to Vander's statue "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?" Because his feelings for his daughter influenced all of his decisions! It's really amazing writing.

    • @Paehrin
      @Paehrin ปีที่แล้ว +5

      To be fair, a lot of Silco's actions can be interpreted as manipulation, even his last words. He could be trying to pass the torch to Jinx because he knows that unleashing her on topside is going to, if not achieve independence, at least make topside regret they didn't release Zaun.
      But I feel that a few things show us that it isn't all manipulation, and that he does, indeed, care for Jinx. The Vander statue scene is one of them (he is alone, nobody to hear him, so why would he be lying), but I always felt that the negotiation scene with Jayce is the most telling. As soon as Jayce mentions Jinx, you can see genuine panic on his face. This scene also cement the fact that Silco does all of this for Zaun, not for himself : he is ready to offer himself instead of Jinx, therefor giving up all his power/status, for Zaun.

    • @morlock2012
      @morlock2012 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Paehrin yeah, I think that's right. Silco is utterly driven to make the Undercity independent. Sure, he ruthlessly accumulates power to be able to do that. Yes, he pulls Jinx into his plans, making her do things she might not want to do. But all that would happen whether he genuinely cared for her, or was just manipulating her because she was useful. It's brilliantly ambiguous.
      That last scene rams home the point that he does care for her (already established by his concern after she gets hurt in ep7).

    • @coolichkann50zeichenfurden95
      @coolichkann50zeichenfurden95 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      One more thing that scene does is closing slico and Vanders arc. Silco now can understand why Vander gave up their dream for his daughter. Silco now deciding to do the same let's him make peace with his brother. Also both of them were willing to turn them self in for the crimes of their daughters.
      If we view Silcos story from above and ignore his "bad guy" appearance, he first is a guy who fights for his people to get out of the oppressive system he grown up in. In the mids of their revolution his brother turns against him and there cause and trys to murder him and makes a peace with the oppressors. Also he never wanted to use shimmer or the hextech weapon (fishbones) in a war against topside. He just wanted to scare them into giving them the Independence. Also he took his brothers daughter in and loved her like his own child.

  • @saiyasha848
    @saiyasha848 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    One interesting thing that is easy to overlook: While the kid clearly didn't deserve to die, he probably knew more about what he was signing up for, then any of the other kids. He was a Chembarons son. My guess would be that he was a kind of foreman there, leading the workers. With his Mom being a Chembaron, that would make total sense.
    Again, not condoning child murder. But I also think Vi believes what she is saying - because she has been there. She never had to work in a factory of course, thanks to Vander, but the kids here clearly grow up a lot faster then in topside. They don't know fully what they are signing up for, but they know morethen Jayce thinks

    • @Mi_Z
      @Mi_Z ปีที่แล้ว

      The thing is, if the other options are starve in the street, or steal to survive, or work in toxic mines, a factory job might look pretty comfy. And a lot safer.
      At least until someone blasts you with a hammer, but that's not something one can plan for.
      It'd be like telling a child during Victorian times -- they knew what they were signing up for. The other options may be even worse. And by the looks of things, the shimmer factory looked better than Victorian factories.
      That said, you are right in the fact that the child was a chembaron's son ... he probably didn't absolutely have to work there. Not sure it's fair to say he knew what he was signing up for though... as again, it probably was a relatively safe job for him... until Thor showed up.

  • @Karanthaneos
    @Karanthaneos ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Arcane lore is inspired by the League Lore, but is its own canon. The characters have many more degrees of separation between each other and would've made the story far slower.
    In the og lore, Jayce isn't the original developer of Hextech; and Vi and Jinx get separated when they were robbing a mining facility where the Atlas gauntlets were being used, then after an accident Jinx escapes while Vi stays behind and saves the people using the gauntlets.
    Arcane simplifies things to make the story more cohesive and involve the characters in more dramatic and impactful situations, much to its benefit

    @lisaleyendekker8305 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I know some people are confused about why Jinx fired the weapon at the end, but that's only because the Deal can't go through no matter what the council decided. Silco is dead, so the deal would be off regardless, but before he died, he told Jinx he never would have given her to them, which was the big deal clencher for Zaun's independence and the reason Jinx kidnapped him in the first place, she thought she was being betrayed. Silco saying that was his blessing for Jinx to start the war so Zaun can fight for its independence rather than settle it diplomatically with Piltover.
    not to mention that Jinx would honor Silco who still loves her for who she is, even though his death was her fault, while Vi, though with good intentions, want's Jinx to revert back to Powder, and wants Jinx to change. Jinx doesn't see that as love, it feels conditional. Trauma changed her, but Vi doesn't acknowledge the damage and its impact on her sister.

      To me it feels more like embracing the identity of Jinx, a person who has given in to their natural inclination towards destruction, and given up on trying to be loved. This is the person Silco encouraged her to be with all his "Be what they fear" crap. It was a tribute to Silco and to her new identity as Jinx, but I don't believe it was truly politically motivated beyond wanting to cause destruction.

      Something interesting was that killing the council was premeditated. Jinx brought fishbones to the tea party, and she had decided that she'd fire it at the council if she chose the Jinx chair before Vi even woke up. Like, Jinx wasn't just doing that on a whim, that was something she planned. She brought a valuable high tech rocket launcher, fully prepared to use it. Idk I just think it's interesting

      @@applecat850 I'd say Jinx is more politically motivated than you'd think. She's incredibly resentful towards enforcers and topside and as a little kid she was enthusiastic about fighting topside to the point it surprised Mylo, even if she didn't like gang fights or anything. She thinks of topside as her enemy and that much is shown in the enemy MV. Then in her diary in the council archives, which is cannon to arcane even if it's not in the show itself, Jinx has several lines written about 'the soldiers' marching and how they 'were always our enemy'. Her political views may not be the most important thing in her mind because she's got 100 other priorities, but it's absolutely more influential on her subconscious. Also she goes on a kleptomania spree every time she goes topside, stealing 2-3 times in episode 4 alone(toy airship, clockwork butterflies, gem) and she absolutely stole the cupcake ep9. It's only a little bit related to my point but I think it's funny. She also planned to fire at the council no matter what if she chose the Jinx chair, probably not unless Silco told her not to explicitly. she brought the rocket launcher with her, that wasn't just on a whim.
      This is technically not the Arcane cannon, but Jinx in the LOL cannon has always been a class warfare character. The only written short story she has (The Wedding Crasher) is her crashing a wedding because she hates rich people and she thinks it's funny. The entire story, the writer makes a point to show her focus on the elements of class disparity ('enough to feed 100 zaunite families', etc). In the Runeterra voice lines she gives a beggar kid advice on how to get more money but mocks Piltover characters, and her terrorism is targeted against Piltover. She doesn't really hurt people she considers innocent either, in any cannon. She has no reservations abo it killing enforcers though. She's a Zaun character, and her whole life has been defined in some form by that oppression. She's just competent enough to defend herself.
      ALSO she grew up around Vi and Silco as her main influences. Both of them are incredibly zealous in their hatred for Piltover, and there's no way she didn't pick up those ideologies via rhetorical osmosis lol. I mean she grew up around two wannabe-revolutionaries, so she's lived her whole life surrounded by that propaganda in one way or another.
      But I mean ur interpretation is fair too, this is just my take and an excuse for me to gush about the show

It’s like she thinks every character can see everything that the viewer sees and that’s not the case.
      It doesn’t seem like she really understands or see the nuances of Silco’s character. Literally ever single decision he makes is because he loves Jinx. Every problem that arises is because of Jinx, yet he still keeps her around and it doesn’t change his love for her. When Jinx kills those enforcers in episode 4, he even donates money to the families of those who died. He has humanity and they show that.

      Now I can understand not trusting Silco in the beginning, but at some point the viewer should be noting that Silco's actions towards Jinx reflect love, care, and concern, even his manipulations came from concern for Jinx's mental state. I.E. Discouraging her from finding Vi.

    I feel like your view of Silco is the same as Vi's, as in, he's the villain to you. I personally didn't see it that way and instead I focused on how the characters relate to Jinx. Silco loves and nurishes her, even if it's influenced by his motives, he does love her, as she is now. On the other hand we have Vi, which I really liked as a character, except when she interacted with Jinx. Vi is a great sister to Powder, but not to Jinx, and that shows in this episode. At the end, Vi is basically hitting all of Jinx's triggers, which lead her into the downward spiral that led to Silco's death, and Silco goes to kill Vi because he understands Jinx is being overloaded by everything she's saying.
    Simply put, Vi was very stubborn and refused to understand how Jinx had changed (and not just that she had changed, if that makes sense), and how she didn't see Silco in the same light, etc. So I think that now that Silco is dead, Jinx will have a bit more clarity, because instead of listening to everyone important to her that died, the main voice in her head is gonna be Silco

    The shiel that Vi activated was most likely an inbuild function. Jayce designed the Gloves for Mining and I think this may have been a security system for cave ins, which means Vi triggered it, by raising her hands to protect her face, an instinctive gesture most humans make when they see something coming towards them.
    Thing is: This is the _first time_ that Vi has actually _blocked._ Like everyone, even her imaginary Vander tells her : Her guard needs work. She blocks with her face. Now, for the first time, she actually tries to protect herself and she gets instantly rewarded.

    My understanding of Vi's facial tattoo - in the initial game lore Vi is an amnesiac who essentially woke up (in jail? I don't recall) not even knowing her name. She had the VI mark, and took it as her name: Vi. I have heard a rumor that the artists put it there because she was the sixth character introduced into the game. I haven't checked on the veracity of this.
    Obviously, this doesn't apply to Arcane lore, where none of this is the case - she has her memories, Vi is short for Violet, and she had the name long before the tattoo. So it's something of a mystery save for it being an iconic part of the character's look.
    It's certainly possible that Vi is just trying to reassure Jayce with her insistence that the kid he killed knew what he was signing up for, but it's worth noting she herself had been a kid in the undercity and so probably has a pretty good idea of how savvy kids are - must be - to survive there. It might not just be empty words.

She also says others will try and persuade her, and she makes no mention she would not follow them. Sevika is not loyal to Silco, just as she was not loyal to Vander. She is, however, loyal to the cause of trying to raise up the nation of Zaun and fighting back against Piltover. If someone came along with a better vision than Silco she would have changed her allegiance to them without a second thought. I believe in season two we are going to be introduced to one of these other people she makes mention of to Silco and they will have a vision she believes in even stronger than Silco's and thus she will follow them.

This is her saying "you saved my life" i mean litterally, "you're the reason i'm still alive". Jinx is an unhealthy coping mechanism for Powders trauma yes, but it's a coping mechanism nontheless. And jinx with her schizofrenia, constantly hearing voices in her head, most of the things she heard Vi say were positive reinforcements. "What makes you different makes you strong". Even with this persona she has created for herself, the phrase "you're a jinx" has now become a positive message she's hearing from Vi. Because that's her name, that's the validation she wants, and if Vi's not gonna say it, atleast Vi's voice in her head will.

    Does dying and being brought back to life as a twisted experiment count?
    There is a very popular theory about one character in the game who was a retired criminal from Zaun that tried to turn over a new leaf. He died, and was turned into a science experiment by Singed (Silco's pet scientist in Arcane). One of the lore pictures of him shows his corpse hanging by chains from the ceiling in a lab (note one of the final cutscenes during the rocket launch).
    I can't think of any bad guys turned good who died in Arcane, can you?

    While he might not be the sole, primary antagonist of it, Warwick is coming in season 2 and he is going to be a whole mess of drama and pain as a result. Arcane serves as kind of an origin story series for all the characters involved; Jayce, Viktor, Vi, Caitlyn, Jinx, Ekko, and Heimerdinger, and this is taking place all before the 'modern day' of the point in time the game lore kind of lingers, though Arcane also takes place in an alternate reality and not actually the prime universe, so it also doesn't have to strictly obey established lore 1:1. We still might not see any established game characters die, but there's also so many more we have yet to see that can come out of Zaun and Piltover so there's a lot of stories left for season 2 and possibly beyond.
    There's a throwaway kind of scene in the ending that doesn't make a lot of sense to anyone that isn't big into the lore, when Singed is sitting alone and the camera backs out to show someone hanging in the foreground. To anyone not in the know, it doesn't mean a whole lot, but that is the hint that he's in the middle of his experiments that lead to creating Warwick, and the season 2 'in-production' announcement teaser also ends with Warwick's chaser sting music. Aside from that, I wouldn't put it past Riot to start working towards Orianna, Urgot, Twitch, Blitzcrank, Camille or Renata in the next season as they're all characters largely from Piltover or Zaun and I think most of them could have really compelling stories. There's a few more characters that could also pop up as cameos that are also either in the area or could come through the area but that's probably a long shot.
    The gem Jinx used was put into the weapon that fired the rocket, not the rocket itself it's just loaded with the same kind of liquid binary explosive compound that she'd used in the past with the mechanical firelights. It's actually one of the weapons Jinx uses in game to fire her ultimate, which is a large rocket with a big explosion that deals much greater damage the lower the health of people caught in the blast. It was a bit of a joke between my friends when we first watched it that the entire Council is going to be fine, they're all at full HP so it's not possible for Jinx's ult to oneshot them. Joke aside, I think Mel will survive. That shine across that gold whatever she's wearing was a little too attention-calling to mean nothing in my opinion, it serves nothing to call attention to it specifically in that moment and not pay off.

    Being passing familiar with league lore is both good and bad. On one hand they put a lot of Easter eggs that would be impossible to catch if you didn't know to look for it.
    On the other hand I was painfully aware that I was watching a villain origin story and that Vi was doomed to failure from the beginning.
    As for some of your questions, this borrows from league lore, but is considered alternate reality as it doesn't stick toooo closely.
    Thus far no league characters have been killed (Singed, Jayce, Viktor, Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, Ekko, Heimerdinger -- with possible allusions to Warwick and Twitch)

    I've seen a lot of reacters getting upset at Cait for escalating the situation when she cut herself out and grabbed Jinx's gun. But she just came within a hair of being executed by a clearly crazy person. I don't blame her, lol.
    Riot has said Arcane is "canon adjacent" to the game, so it's entirely possible in game characters could die. Having said that, I think Mel has something up her sleeve to save some of the council (I think her mentioning a secret entrance during her flashback as a kid is foreshadowing)
    Also, it's *possible*, based on some in-game lore that the body hanging from the ceiling in Singed's lab during the last montage is Vander, who will be making a return, but safe to say, not a happy one.

      I can’t blame her either, and truly her decision would have prevented Jinx’s inevitable upcoming path of destruction, I was frustrated because in this moment it felt like there was an opportunity to talk, and of course it was dangerous, but it was also the closest we’d gotten to any kind of peaceful reunion in the series thus far. Obviously Caitlyn was acting with the information she had, and from her own experiences, however it would have been interesting to see if things could have possibly gone differently.

    It's good to see that someone else sees that, no matter how popular Jinx might be, she's still a huge danger to everyone around her. As for Caitlyn having no clue what is going on with Jinx? She's been blown up TWICE, knocked out out twice, kidnapped NAKED, held all day by the crazy kid, knocked out again and now there's a missile headed for her mother and bestie. I think she understands more than most.

    Just a couple of quick comments:
    During the Sevika-Finn scene... Sevika has been loyal to Silco, but more so to the cause. And right now, Silco still represents the best chance for a free Zaun. Notice Silco panting after Sevika slices Finn? Even he wasn't certain what she'd do.
    During the Silco-Jayce negotiation, Silco offers himself up in lieu of Jinx. This tells us a couple of things -- that he truly cares for Jinx, even over his own life. And he also values a free Zaun over his own life. He's not just in this for the power.
    Stella makes an interesting comment -- Ekko should be in the place Silco is in. And she's right ... but not just yet. Ekko would be an absolutely terrible revolutionary. Nice revolutionaries don't win revolutions. However, if Zaun was stable and had its freedom, Ekko (ideally a bit older) would be a good ruler.
    The editing on the fountain scene was a bit... odd. Anyway, I can't tell her reaction because it was cut. It's a pretty significant scene, so it always surprises me to see it edited away.
    That is where Silco realizes the situation Vander was in -- why he gave up the fight, as once you have someone to love, it's not worth the risk. And that is where Silco is now, he can have everything he's ever wanted, but the cost of his daughter is simply too great.

      She probably will, unless they change the lore drastically, and they may as they have said Arcane lore doesn't mean it will work or happen the same as in game, but she will probably be kinda front and center in S2 plot. Cait's next thing should be her in game origin in how she became the sheriff of Piltover. Now the rest of the council... well, one or two might live maybe, but none of them are particularly big names. My guess on S2 will be Camille will come into play though, at least for the Piltover parts. Zuan will more than likely have Warwick and Blitzcrank show up and possibly a setup for S3 with Urgot if I had to take a guess, at least if they plan to stay in only that region of the world. It is all guesses, but it would lead into a lot of the in game lore.

    Also the explosion if from the liquids in the rocket not the ball, same liquids you can see in Jinx's grenades when Victor tried to disarm it, but just a tiny amount compared to the rocket.
    P.S. Showrunners said Arcane isn't "entirely" canonical, they said they'll do what's best for the show, not necessarily boxing themselves in to being 100% canonical. So they "might" die.

But the Hexcore is somehow connected to Viktor and maybe it will sense he's in danger and protect him (he's sitting next to Jayce, so it might inadvertently shield him in the process). But Mel will be amongst those that die. Her mother will go to war with both Piltover and the Undercity over this and make everything so much worse for all involved.

    Honestly? Silco genuinely seemed to care for her at the end.. in whatever messed up way it was, he did love her deeply as a father.. the fact he was so scared when jinx looked hurt and wanted to save her. The fact he had everything he wanted in the palm of his hand, everything he strived for, sacrificed for, FOUGHT for, right in his reach. And all he had to do was give them jinx. And he hesitated.
    I mean this is SILCO we are talking about.. the man preaching about real power coming to those that'd do anything to achieve them.. He would have done ANYTHING for freedom. Except give his daughter away it seemed. And then there is the fact that he used his last words not to manipulate her (as he could have literally said anything else that wouln't comfort her to manipulate her) and seemed to genuinely want to comfort her for killing a father once again. In my mind this tells me that he did, in fact, love her deeply. Yes, he was evil, yes, he was bad. But he was one of the deepest and best villains written out there. And he died not a leader, nor a martyr.. but a father . And thats what i love about him as a character. I cannot bring myself to fully hate him somehow, he just did the wrong things for a right cause (in his mind that is)
    And he also genuinely seemed to believe in his cause.. as i personally think he would have stopped attacking piltover once Zaun was independent and he reached his goal. I mean he had a pretty civil conversation with one of piltover's councilers about peace after all.. and he seemed tired of it all when he was talking/drinking at Vander's statue..
    He finally understood why vander gave up fighting. Why he went for peace in the way that he did. He didnt want to lose his children, or in silco's case; jinx.
    The one purpose he had for surviving that day, the only thing he strived for for more than a decade, seemed trivial in front of his daughter. He wasn't power hungry, he was revenge seeking, clinging to the only thing that gave him purpose after the betrayal: the cause. Freeing Zaun.
    But thats just my take you can think whatever you want about him or this show~ thats the beauty of arcane.. multiple interpretations and stunning attention to detail😌👌
    Thank you for this reaction! Your reactions were golden and it was fun to see. I, too, cried my eyes out when silco died.. but for different reasons it seems XD
