    LYRICS:
    Dear friend across the river
    My hands are cold and bare
    Dear friend across the river
    I'll take what you can spare
    I ask of you a penny
    My fortune it will be
    I ask you without envy
    We raise no mighty towers
    Our homes are built of stone
    So come across the river
    And find... The World Below.

I understand piltover's side but what if they just show equality and care towards zaun everything would've been different. Zaun wouldn't have to feel resentful to piltover, their lives and environment would have been better and the story wouldn't go downhill by the end of the ep 9. The ending was expected how jinx became jinx but it was truly heartbreaking that everyone's decisions neither good or bad leads consequences and different path 😭😭😭. I love Arcane because when you watch it you can feel the feelings of each character and can relate to them. This is what interesting about arcane because they made the audience feel that the characters are like us and it felt human.

It was more Vi's moment as she is the older sibling that actually had to protect her sister. She understood but it was an even greater shock to her to see Vi's expression as the world seemed to end and she was so little yet. She was a little girl seeking to grow, and something terrible happened and felt like fatality

That is when violence hits exponential high, because if the revolution is well ordered the opportunist is not going to get more than the past status quo, they use violence to create chaos so that they may benefit from the lack of rule, and enforcement.

    1:24 It's really sad how Vi looks directly at her parents' bodies and feels sadness, while Powder looks to Vi and starts to feel sadness. It shows that Powder is immensely attached to Vi. It's identical to how young children look to their parents when they fall down. When the parents panic when their child falls, the child panics as well because their feelings are not developmentally independent of their parents' yet. Thus, Powder looks to Vi for validation of her feelings which indicates her attachment towards Vi. On a side note, Vi is pretty young herself so having her bear this burden breaks my heart as well :(

      It seems to me that a part of Powder's insecurities lie with Vander. Violet was clearly his favorite--his protégé. He built up Vi's confidence and molded her into the leader he hoped would take his place. It seems as though he never really paid much attention to Powder who clearly needed it more; maybe it was largely because he couldn't relate to her since she didn't show similar interests to him. I really cant blame him though it seems as though he had the cares of lanes thrown at his feet; he was probably doing the best he could given the circumstances. I am curious how both girls will react when Vander, "The Hero of the Lanes," comes back as the near mindless beast Warwick.

      @@happi9728 From what I understand from the lore. Warwick has little memory of his past just a girl screaming what he assumes is a name. Warwick is left mindlessly killing people in Zaun; however, as he kills he starts to have flash backs of his past. He eventually goes from indiscriminately killing to focusing on criminals. The lore tells us he was "...a gangster that laid down his sword and took up a new name to live a better life." In the game he has special dialogue with Jinx and Vi hinting that he was Vander. A lot of his lore is open to interpretation; it will be interesting to see where the writers take it.

The Bridge is where Powder's innocence first began to fade in the aftermath of the civil war there, and Powder ultimately "died" there, too, years later.

      Was thinking the same thing. For example, The Rings of Power cost something like half a billion and was a complete and utter travesty in terms of, well, everything. The opening moments of Arcane had more emotion, character, atmosphere, world building, drama and foreshadowing than that entire show had in over 8 hours, and all this without a single line of dialogue spoken or written apart from Powder's song.

    I think the exact moment I realized this show was likely as good as people were saying, was Violet's reaction to seeing her parents.
    The predictable shock, followed by the fact she visibly tries to compose herself before her little sibling, before the sheer pain of it all breaks her and she crumbles in tears. A genuine gut punch that despite its intensity couldn't prepare me for the drama to come.
    Props to Fortiche Productions. The facial animations in this show are among the most expressive I've ever seen, and Arcane's absolute finest bit of craft IMO.

      Maybe it does happen in the future... both girls "freed" from their pain during the war that has come from the inevitable continuation of that cycle of violence that started on that bridge or before. When Vi doesn't have to fight anymore... when they both get to come home in the most enduring way possible. Maybe it's better than having to live through more pain, if they die before everything goes even more to sh*t. I want them to be happy while alive though, this song and that image made me cry. "What could have been" is right.

    notice that powder sang this on the first episode of arcane, yet when powder died, so does the song which is symbolized on the start of jinx's final transformation at her fight against ekko. that's why at episode 9, instead of calling for sympathy on piltover, jinx instead destroys it.

    Seeing the opening again, and watching Powder's reaction to Vi's emotions, was quite the emotional punch. When I first watched it, I was paying attention to Vi and subconsciously noticed the amazing attention to detail in the expressions. This time I watched Powder, and it was interesting to see that even at her age, her first reaction was to watch Vi and then hug her after she fell to her knees, rather than expect comfort herself.

    I've never even played league of legends and this series was the most well written, lovingly made and revolutionary animated picture ive seen in years. The characters were not only relatable on a human level but also amazing role models as male/female/non binary people in a way I've never seen before and I hope continues into the second series. As an adult it's been a good few years since I've felt anywhere near as inspired as I've been by characters like Vi and Vander to be a better friend/sibling/person and help build understanding for people and circumstances different from my own; in an eerily similar disparate and unjust world. Reminded me that no matter how small and insignificant goodness and kindness might seem in our dark world, it's the reason why such actions mean so much and are so greatly needed to make the world brighter; no matter how small or who by. Bravo.
