    I absolutely love that game-Singed is this archetypical mad scientist. And show-Singed is.... still that, but portrayed with subtlety, gravitas and nuance in a very underplayed way. Watching his first few scenes, in any other show he would just be Background Scientist #1, he's so low key, but in this show... you can never imagine this guy going 'mwahahahaha!' whilst lightning flashes, and yet he still embodies everything that is dangerous and frightening about detaching ethics from discovery and he does it in a way that makes 100% sense.

      Singed interpreted it correctly, that Silco is _not_ prepared to lose her. Which is why he drugged him. Not only watching the process of her "recovery" would've been unbearable for Silco, and he would try to intervene, but in case something goes wrong - which it could've - Silco wouldn't be able to handle it.

    The writing for Singed must have had the most time spent at the keyboard per second of on screen dialogue. Almost every line out of the guy's mouth has a lie of omission; from telling his cat it's feeding time to telling Silco he saved Jinx'es life. I definitely wouldn't want to play poker with the writers. Also, put me in the camp of people who think Rio either is the daughter with a "changed nature" or is a vital part of a Frankenstein scheme to bring her back. Nobody the Dr treats seems to die. The body survives but he loses the human.

    One thing you didn't touch on is that Singed himself has put his money where his mouth is regarding his philosophy on life and death. He was a long exiled pupil of Heimerdinger even when Viktor was young, and his appearance didn't change between that event and when we see him in the first 3 episodes. Singed himself is easily the oldest human on the show, and remains so due to the results of his work. His work doesn't necessarily maintain a good quality of life, and it's noteworthy that that *includes* himself as a horrifically disfigured and scarred old man.

    • @austinkreulach9295
      @austinkreulach9295 2 года назад +65

      Okay but, consider, when he first appears he's not that old. Just middle-aged and incredibly... banal. Could pass as an office worker. He's only disfigured and scarred because of Jinx's blast in episode 3. His medicine didn't cause the disfigurement.
      On the other hand in his early interactions with Viktor he looks basically the same as he does before Jinx blows him up(a gap of maybe ten, fifteen years?), so you may still be right about him aging slower/being really old.

    • @jaroslavsvaha6065
      @jaroslavsvaha6065 2 года назад +9

      Didn't really think about that. Seems to me the jump between Viktors flashback and present is about 25 years, based on how young Viktor looked back then. Another point that adds weight to your argument - Singed used to work with Heimerdinger. I'd say anyone that works with the founder of the city and the dean of the academy is going to be somewhat well known, at least among the academy students and staff. So... maybe that was a long time ago. Like 100 years ago or something.

    Also, notice that Singed also says that “the mutation must *survive*” and not “the mutation must live.” I expected the writers to choose the word “live” because it’s a common trope. However, the fact that Singed says “survive” means that he acknowledges the struggle that everybody must face in life in order to keep themselves living. Unfortunately, this also means that he knows the mutation can never “live” like the ideal of “living” that many people want today. The concept of “living” has been broadened to “quality of life” and social experiences in the current world we live in. This creature can not “live,” so the writers must make the distinction that it must “survive.”

    I love that they kept him really neutral. Sure he's inarguably a mad scientist with little empathy for those he treats, but he really just keeps to himself and helps whoever is willing to let him. He keeps his word and doesn't necessarily lie to anyone, even warning Viktor of the effects of the shimmer, and has a decent amount of sympathy for Silco and his father/daughter relation with Jinx, but they still managed to keep him somewhat cruel and mysterious. He doesn't *want* to find a way to extend mortal survival, he *is* finding a way, even if that way must include loosing humanity and/or being able to really _live_ at this stage. Really excited abt their plans for him next season

    Lots of people contrasting Singed's gameplay to his story in arcane. If I remember right, Singed joined the league for the opportunity to test his concoctions on limitless subjects. So his entire purpose in league is not to win, or even fight, but to experiment, to expose as many subjects to his gas as he can. So his gameplay matches pretty well. He's got to survive long enough to observe, so armor and a shield is practical, and the heavy cc helps him survive even longer.
    You can even consider his allies not suffering from it as evidence that there's a counter toxin that he gives his team before the match. It may be one half of a transformative formula without the stabilizing agent. So it causes those without the agent to die during the process of mutation, but he can examine the effects on their cells post-death. A dead subject may yield more information than a live one. It'd be interesting to see a Singed mini-rework to make him more supportive, making his poison buff allies standing in it during his ult. His kit is already zoning cc heavy, so he functions a lot like a support in teamfights already.

    The thing about Singed in the show is that he's basically Rick Sanchez without the self loathing. Rick, on some level, knows that he's a monster and that Science can't actually fix everything. He overloads himself on coping mechanisms and experiences to run away from the crushing weight of his Trauma and whenever someone throws his actual psychology in his face he shuts down. He did it with the therapist, he's done it when Beth's called him out, he does it when the Morty called him out, and he did it when he met the shy pooper and that dude tried to actually connect and form community with him.

    one thing you didn't mention about heimerdinger is that his long lifespan allowed him to live through the most traumatic times of his universe. in arcane they just call it magic, but what heimer is afraid of and lived through was the run war, runes being the most powerful, world altering form of magic. that is why heimer is concerned with safety and slow progress, he saw what happens when the world gets power crept, he saw the horrors of war cause just by magical knowledge progressing too fast, and is equally afraid of technology progressing too fast.

      also one of the runes were what turned the Blessed Isles, the home of the Sentinels, Thresh, Yorick, and Ryze, into the Shadow Isles. Viego put Isolde into the Well of Ages, and it seems the magic within draws the soul from their resting place when the dead body is in contact with the water. Isolde stabbed Viego through the chest with Sanctity (his sword) and it seems the life-draining magic of his blade combined with the life-giving powers of the waters were in conflict with one another. Turns out, the mortal-made magic from the sword wasn't strong enough to combat the power of the ancient, all-powerful rune magic, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the entire island and cursed everyone caught in it.
      He may not know of THAT specifically, but the power of the Runes are nothing short of cataclysmic when put into the wrong hands, and it's the reason they built the city in the first place. As a refuge from magic, and the Rune Wars were one of the most destructive displays of that. Being scarred from that event, it makes sense why he was so hostile towards even the slight consideration of arcane influence in the city that he helped build as his one bastion of safety against it.

    Singed strikes me as a character similar but not identical to that of Littlefinger in Game of Thrones.
    The man is his own entity outside of everything else going on in the world ( in Arcane ) and characters like those only pose to be a bigger problem for others down the line. I love how Singed is being portrayed as someone who is the catalyst to a lot of developing situations without being directly involved. He created Jinx, he is creating Warwick, I wouldn't be surprised if we see him involved in Mundo's origin. He is a living generator of trouble that nobody but maybe Viktor will realize its him.
    I just have this aching theory that Singed is going to be a major character as the series goes on and I would love to see a dialogue of ethics between him and Heimerdinger
