My boy Viktor getting the love he deserves. The tragedy of the Undercity being that two absolute geniuses are turned because of circumstance of their environment.
Viktor is also my favorite character, someone who was dealt a terrible hand from his very birth but wouldn't let it stop him from chasing his dreams. And also a bit of a gray morality: he wants to use progress for the benefits of others but isn't against going against the rules or going too far, but is ready to stop and accept his death the moment his research cause harm. I hope they will keep him gray and not go full on villain in S2 because complex characters (like Jinx and Silco) are better than cartoonish evil ones. Great video
I like how they portrayed his dedication. He didn't care about Skye at all until it was too late for her. But after that the reality of his sitution kicks in.
...Oh boy. I have so many comments, and basically all are spoilers. Victor's story in this show just feels like this cold shard at times. I really wish someone would shower him with kindness and friendship, and actually fought some of the battles that Victor doesn't. Like, in the speech scene I had an immense desire to grab him by the arm, bring a chair and put him by Tali's side. He's constantly left behind? Not only because of his legs. He's always in the shadows, even among his peers, since childhood, and the awful thing is that he grew accepting of it, so he doesn't realise when someone **actually sees him**. As Victor. Not the "second lab guy" or the "one with a limp". Well. _Steel your hearts_ .
To add an extra layer of tragedy to Viktor's tale that I don't think many people realise is that Skye is the same little girl that was so curious about little Viktor and his boat
i also saw him as a side character and loved that they'd bothered to give him a disability that seemed vaguely realistic and that they'd bothered to animate well. and i was hoping he could just stay as he is in his sassy self. and then i realised they were really going to put him through the wringer. and i'm tentatively looking forward to the machine herald and i think they actually could pull off an interesting transformation and breakdown of the relationship with jayce but i'm also scared they will make the disabled character into a monster. oh, and it's called 'shimmer' ;)
"...but i'm also scared they will make the disabled character into a monster." Yeah, that is also one of my concerns. If you are interested watch "arcane disability and more" by "Oakwyrm"
@@sportenapfeltorten2095 I pretty much agree with oakwyrm and I'm interested to see what they'll do with Victor's potential future as the machine Herald as it could make or break Victor as a character
@@sportenapfeltorten2095 after I saw your comment I watched that video and I don't like it. That person puts their own biases and judged the characters disability without looking the narrative as a whole. They were saying the they're done with villains having disability like Silco when literally Silco's eyes, Jinx' mental illness have purpose/background/meaning as a whole. Zaun has more disabled person than Piltover because it make sense living in a toxic environment. I would've agreed if Arcane made disabled people disable without any reason. They just sounded "woke" to me but not actually appreciating the story telling the writers did.
Wonderful summary. I don't know how I'm going to get through the two years until season 2 right now. 😪 I'm more than excited to see his continued development and how the show implements his lore. 🥰
I new nothing about arcane my friend recommended recommended it, and Victor 2nd scene with Jace when he was going to kill himself god he stole my heart
Bruh, I am so stupidly simple. Never even seen your channel before, hit the like button during preroll ad simply cuz I saw Viktor. Lmao wtf Edit: "flicker?" I think you mean shimmer. Fuck yeah. Like well worth. I know you made a follow up? Time to find it. Edit again: oh, you died.... maybe. RIP
This guy became my favorite the moment he said "When you are going to change the world, don't ask it for permission."
My boy Viktor getting the love he deserves.
The tragedy of the Undercity being that two absolute geniuses are turned because of circumstance of their environment.
Truly an amazing show.
I have a feeling that his arc will undergo a glorious evolution.
Sooo.. What did you think? 😉
how did you find it?

Totally agree, season 2 is gonna be so fire.
The glorious evolution😎

I think he was too introverted and lonely to relate to people. But he cared.
I love Viktor and I really wish he had a better life.
Fav line in the entire series :"In the pursuit of greatness, we failed to do good." ;(
By the end of the series, this quote will likely and sadly describe Viktor's entire life and struggle

Victor & Jinx are too close to home not to favour them over everyone else.

Victor is best boy in Arcane

Do you mind sharing your thoughts on Oakwyrms take?
