What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro support the channel directly & check out ‘Zombies’ now 🖤 ruclips.net/video/3Bcyf70EYCQ/видео.html
Try any other song from bo burnham's "inside" since you're one of the only few people who can actually decipher the hidden messages from a genius Also this Friday do Albert Einstein vs Stephen Hawking, one of ERB's first original battles
he isn't saying ur spoiling he is saying that since u said he explained the whole story without seeing it then he thought that he acctually spoiled the movie
One minor detail I noticed no one talks is Powder/Jinx joining in and singing along at the end, "Spare me the sympathy." And "Everyone wants to be my enemy." With how she looks as she speaks this, it's as if Powder and Jinx is beginning to accept the song, believing the words that yes, everyone is her enemy and she doesn't need your sympathy. Or maybe I'm just reaching too far.
I agree watching the music video and tuen watching the series i can see why you made that connection because as you pointed out that the enemy and sympathy lyric points where jinx/powder sing along i think it also means that jinx and powder are no longer separate personalities but one single one that see everyone is her enemy and doesn’t need any sympathy form anyone because everyone who opposes her is her enemy
Silco basically told her how everyone was their enemy and they only had each other as father and daughter. She took that to heart and it messed with her already broken mind even more. Not that he intended that, Silco really thought he was alone in the world til he took Jinx under his wing and saw she was alone too.
This is why I love this channel. Knox is the only reactor that breaks down the lyrics, while giving commentary about the production, instrumental, storyline and cinematography. Very meticulous. Thank you for always bringing quality content
FYI, the first shot on Jinx with the toy monkey is a homage to the first-ever League of Legends MV introducing Jinx "Get Jinxed", which is arguably what kick starts the whole Riot Games Music. React to that, it's one of the best
I think vi's song was out before jinx's but there was no music vid 'here comes vi' and as the guy above me says theres not a lot to react to in it, its a good and enjoyable song but not much to breakdown. the vid for get jinx youd get if you understood the lore or the arcane story coming up
The toy monkey is also a clever historical reference - she was known as Powder and made explosive monkeys. Powder monkeys were children who delivered gunpowder to cannon crews during the Age of Sail.
Ive seen multiple reactions to this but so far this is the best breakdown by far. Never seen anyone point out the easter eggs, the unique JID rapping scheme, and some actual knowledge of the game.
DAMN you have a good eye on that bug scene! I went to the frame-by-frame and there are 3 blurry frames after she opens her eyes as a kid and then one single frame of adult Jinx laying there before the scene swap. Great catch! I was also looking out for it after and noticed they do the same thing when she finger-guns the cops walking by. (comma and period are forward and backward one frame at a time BTW, Knox)
@@buttonsmasher1072 After this video I actually took the time to go through the video frame by frame. Another thing I noticed was that looking through the slit older jinx actually starts 'singing' the lyrics. Afterwards younger jinx is layered with a version of herself also lipsyncing and then it's just plain her saying "everybody want to be my enemy".
Oh also, since you were having trouble landing on the frame you wanted, while RUclips is paused you can use the comma and period keys to go back and forward (respectively) frame-by-frame!
5:20 "what does that mean, what is leaving her?" HOPE. In the story, the Firelights represent hope. At the begginning they are almost unseen, Vi comments that she feels hopeless and thats why everyone wants to fight. Then, everything goes south due to Silco, but the hidden Firelights keep hope alive, actually transforming a small space of the undergruond into something better and fighting hard for the future. The firelights represent hope, which Powder had but it left her. Then all she had left was hopelessness and death, symbolized by the crows, which she both struggled against but also personified. It goes deeper, with Vi commenting how she had never seen so many, but at the bridge fight scene what seems like firelights (hope) was false, just a hidden danger because it was fabricated by Jinx, meaning any hope of improving that came from her actions was artificial and actually waiting to explode.
My theory was: Ekko and Powder were from a writing perspective pretty much the same. They looked up to Vi, were the weakest, youngest kids, etc. But Powder changed after act 1 and ekko was like what Powder could have been (also the last song is called what could have been this series is so fricking good). He is the leader of the firelights and Powder could have done great things too that help people and stuff if he hadnt killed Milo, Claggor and Vander (jk he may be still alive as warwick but she thinks she killed him so it doesnt matter for what im tryna say). Basically it shows how in episode 3 powder changed to jinx and didnt help with inventing the firelights or smth like that.
This was the most in-depth analysis I could find on RUclips, and thank you for both appreciating the music and the story told by the lyrics and the clips. Most people aren’t looking at the whole picture, which is what makes it so incredible imo. Every word, sound, and clip is part of a story.
Personally with the bug scene and knowing how sad her growing up is, i felt like it was her hope and innocence in a way. She is finally accepting that she cannot go back to her old self, she needs to toughen up to survive so she lets her hope for a bright future and innocence fly

@@maxmustermann1684 Also, the Firelights represent hope for a better Zaun free of both Piltover and Silco`s oppression and Powder/Jinx abandoned her old innocent, hope filled self to Silco`s revolution.
Imagine Dragons literally saved my life, no joke! They are not typically the usual band id go for but I love all their music and seen them live twice!!! ❤
@@abe10alpha You gotta, I've seen them twice and I'm seeing them again in February, they put on the best shows, it's not a concert, it's a whole experience. I hope you get to see them, their Mercury tour is coming up in February, if you're in the US or Canada definitely check it out, they also just announced Europe dates today if you live in Europe there's that too
as a drummer i love the way you compared JID's flow to drum polyrhythms. love the reaction, it's awesome to see someone so knowledgeable get so into the music video reaction. great stuff!
You are by far my favorite reactor. The depth of analysis and the details you pick up in the lyrics and video. Amazing insight and perspectives. I really feel that he "gets" whatever material he is presented with
Also a fun little jab is hidden in JID's lyrics. When he mentions "The baddest" that's a song by a band that is *canonically* in the same universe as the Zaun-based Imagine Dragons JID combo we see here. K.D.A. can eat their hearts out.
don't forget the part where it says "spare me the sympathy" and then later at the very end says "I'll never be a saint no way" implying that she knows exactly what she's doing. she may of completely lost it, but her drive is clear as day
5:47 pro youtube navagtion tip that'll help you get single frame inserts like that: Press " , " to go one frame back or " . " to go one frame forward. Bonus tip - Shift + , slows the video down and Shift + . speeds it up
Ayyy didn't know you were a LoL fan Knox! At least I'm guessing you are based on your knowledge of the Champs. Then again, we've all come to learn you're a damn genius who has a breadth of knowledge on all topics! Haha much love as always.
Super dope how they took the wind up monkey from 'Get Jinx'd' and brought it to Enemy. You should check out 'Get Jinx'd' to see the 'next chapter' so to speak. Just crazy how Riot ties lore together, ever through new champs being released and a million different sub-stories and timelines.
dont know if anyone said it already, but if u press "," and "." on a youtube video you can go back/forward frame by frame, so you dont have to pause it right, you just can search for the perfect frame
the way you talk and analize all about the song shows you really love music, movies, writing and- english is my second language so i can't fully get to explain what i want to say but damn bro, i really love that passion right there new subscriptor! (think i saw people in the comments saying youre also a musician, better go check and support you. keep that energy my man! wish you the best.)
I fell in love with arcane but I Gotta say you have been one of the best reactions to the music video and by far out of the 10 or so I’ve already watched. Keep up the good work man your breakdowns are amazing.
I don't get how you are able to pick up so many details from the song and mv just by watching the first time. You even caught the dude who beats up the child like 20 seconds later, you are crazy Knox
Knox lived this breakdown. In the hook you missed "spare me the sympathy". I am Requesting Cutthroat by Imagine Dragons please and thank you for your breakdowns
This is such an incredible reaction!! The way you not only analyzed the visual contents/details but also character development and stories, and most importantly the LYRICSSSSSSS!!! You're the first one I see doing this and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this reaction video very much! The technical analysis on the rap part is also very interesting, especially coming from me who doesn't usually enjoy rap :)) You made me appreciate the MV/song way more now! Thank you sooo much for the reaction!!
I really appreciate how you educated yourself on the story and the series to be able to correctly say their names and get a better understanding on what the lyrics mean in context!
ive seen so many music reaction/breakdown channels but dude knox just finds the details on another level which seperates him from the other channels and i love it
5:40 If you want to stop at specific frames, you can use the dot and comma Keys to move forward or backwards by frames, no need to skip whole seconds to rewind the whole passage
Wow dude! I love your passion for the arts and how in depth you go when reviewing the entirety of the video. I love how much appreciation you express and I feel the same! Cant wait to see more of your vids in the future :)
I really love imagine dragons, there music is so dope and the epic beats and it gives me goosebumps by just great. Hope you have a great day mr hill have a great day
This react video was almost as epic as the song. First time watching this channel, so I didn't know what to expect, but I certainly didn't expect this level of analysis. Very well done!
I generally don't like these types of breakdowns of music videos because they feel stretched out and kinda boring but I really love how you care not just about the music or just the story or just cinematography which is how some other channels do it, it just really feels like you actually care about the whole thing and that makes it that much more enjoyable. Kind of a long comment but great video!
I grew to really like this song, then I watched your reaction and so much of the amazing stuff going on in this song got revealed, and now I like it more
I'm not sure if someone already told you or not, but you can go frame by frame in a RUclips video by pausing around where you want to seek and pressing the < and > keys to go between frames up and down the timeline.
My take on the green bug coming out of her mouth: Those bugs are called firelights, and are used as a symbol of hope for a peaceful life among the chaos and danger of the undercity/zaun. A lot of this song & video tell the story of Powder growing up into Jinx. So, I think the bug leaving her, followed by a single frame of her adult self, is showing the last bits of her hope for a simple and happy future, flying away
Possibly the best reaction to this music video I've seen so far, you do a great job at breaking down not only the music but what's happening in the video too. Great job
What amazes me is the fact you can catch on to the words especially when he started going so first you could literally pause and have the words so fast like how
Hey there, I never heard of you. This is the first reaction I see of this song and I have to say that I never heard and saw a better reaction video to any other some by anyone else. I love the way you REALLY check out the lyrics, the meaning of it and respect and see the idea behind the song. Thanks so much.
Wow i just noticed so many little Easter eggs Thanks to The guy that explained you can rewind and fastforward by a Frame using comma and period. ( , / . ) 8:59 you can see powder as jinx for 1 frame.
Waiting for season 2 and came back to watch this. You're probably the most perceptive person to do a react video. Actually spotting things I wouldn't even have seen as well as analyzing the lyrics and video instead and picking up the actual story. Good stuff
Riot’s music and visual production teams (yes I know ID and JID did it but it was clearly Riot-influenced) are better than their actual game dev teams. I’ve been waiting for a League of Legends Cinematic Universe for YEARS. I’m hoping Arcane convinces them that it’s a good idea. They have enough champions and lore to make dozens of movies.
I like it how Joeynato talks about the instruments that they use and Knoxhill talks about the lyrics and a bit of the instruments but mostly the lyrics XD but there both good.
This is why I love watching other people's reactions. Sometimes they point out things that I miss. I thought I understood everything in the music video, but I completely missed the part where Powder turned when the bug came out of her mouth. I didn't even catch that until he pointed it out in this reaction. Thank you!
i agree with you , specially for the rap part (polyrhythm/flow) and the fact that there are only two chords and i noticed many people would like it without rap
I fell in love with this song, can't get enough! I had no idea what League of Legends was about and knew none of the characters....yet this short series really captured me and I enjoyed every minute. Sad ending though.
many thanks for your analysis specially for te rap part (polyrhythm/flow) which many people don't appreciate. i am 56 and i love music... all music. i saw the live mtv by mistake by zapping and it attracted me a lot, a lot of positive energy, beautiful! . my reaction was wow what is this? I like. so I looked for reactions and ... a lot of wow... ok i'm not the only one.
It's really interesting to see you to immediately know and *remember* the text. That's amazing! I've heard this song dozens of times and I *still* don't know what it's about. It's all about the music and melody for me. You did this exact thing in your Encanto reaction (you suddenly started to repeat the lyrics and analyzing its rhymes), just wow. :)
In the story they gave characters with significance dull eyes till they find their purpose. In those moments their eyes get a color change into thier real color but the pink eyes I dont wanna spoil.
I like the line between the chorus and following verse “but I’m ready” because the previous lines were “everybody wants to be my enemy” then “look out for yourself”, followed by that line as if he’s answering to those lines specifically saying he’s ready to go against everyone who opposes him. Like Jinx does. She takes on everyone who she feels is against her, regardless. It’s like a call and respond snuck in there that you may not quite realize is there. It could be taken as just a quick ad lib or bridging line, getting you ready for the next verse. It’s interesting.
I love your breakdowns, knox! Its because of you I'm able to get and understand the deeper meanings behind some of my favorite songs. I've been hoping you would do Radioactive by Imagin Dragons ft. Kendrick Lamar. I suppose now would be a good time to request it... on my first ever comment on one of your videos, no less. 😊 Hope you have an awesome day! 💜

I noticed it, too, on the original video. Glad to see I wasn't the only one!
There's also the projection over Powder, which is singing "Oh the misery," showing how the turmoil is building inside her head until it's too much.
Silco basically told her how everyone was their enemy and they only had each other as father and daughter. She took that to heart and it messed with her already broken mind even more.
Not that he intended that, Silco really thought he was alone in the world til he took Jinx under his wing and saw she was alone too.

I generally don't like these types of breakdowns of music videos because they feel stretched out and kinda boring but I really love how you care not just about the music or just the story or just cinematography which is how some other channels do it, it just really feels like you actually care about the whole thing and that makes it that much more enjoyable.
Kind of a long comment but great video!
love how u pay attention to the lyrics and the song at the same time. 10/10
I grew to really like this song, then I watched your reaction and so much of the amazing stuff going on in this song got revealed, and now I like it more
I'm not sure if someone already told you or not, but you can go frame by frame in a RUclips video by pausing around where you want to seek and pressing the < and > keys to go between frames up and down the timeline.
The part where Jid is sitting and turning his head quick reminds me of free the robots by capital.
5:41 Powder shortly switches into older Jinx, like from the episodes 4 till end, the same happens at 8:59 so right when Powder 'shoots'
My take on the green bug coming out of her mouth:
Those bugs are called firelights, and are used as a symbol of hope for a peaceful life among the chaos and danger of the undercity/zaun. A lot of this song & video tell the story of Powder growing up into Jinx. So, I think the bug leaving her, followed by a single frame of her adult self, is showing the last bits of her hope for a simple and happy future, flying away
I haven't seen videos talking about the lyrics like this, so I'm so glad I found your video! Your input as a rapper taught me so much, genuinely.
I lose it everytime i listen to this song.... JID's verse 🤯......just added to the out of this world vibe of this...masterpiece.
Thank you yet again for another amazing reaction to league music! :)
Thank you for continuing to support!
i love your reactions. you tell the meaning, break them down, and teach us on the go too. I love your videos soo much
Possibly the best reaction to this music video I've seen so far, you do a great job at breaking down not only the music but what's happening in the video too. Great job
Damn, that was a really good breakdown.
Just for info, if you pause the video you can use . (full stop / period) and , (comma) to move through the video frame by frame.
Been waiting for a JID reaction. He's a beast
What amazes me is the fact you can catch on to the words especially when he started going so first you could literally pause and have the words so fast like how
Hey there, I never heard of you. This is the first reaction I see of this song and I have to say that I never heard and saw a better reaction video to any other some by anyone else.
I love the way you REALLY check out the lyrics, the meaning of it and respect and see the idea behind the song.
Thanks so much.
Wow i just noticed so many little Easter eggs Thanks to The guy that explained you can rewind and fastforward by a Frame using comma and period. ( , / . )
8:59 you can see powder as jinx for 1 frame.
The eye color is that what changes on characters when they lvl up
You made me understand why rapping JID's part is SO FUCKING HARD, so thank you
This song, coupled with the visuals really hit hard. Love it
Waiting for season 2 and came back to watch this. You're probably the most perceptive person to do a react video. Actually spotting things I wouldn't even have seen as well as analyzing the lyrics and video instead and picking up the actual story. Good stuff
Riot’s music and visual production teams (yes I know ID and JID did it but it was clearly Riot-influenced) are better than their actual game dev teams. I’ve been waiting for a League of Legends Cinematic Universe for YEARS. I’m hoping Arcane convinces them that it’s a good idea. They have enough champions and lore to make dozens of movies.
I like it how Joeynato talks about the instruments that they use and Knoxhill talks about the lyrics and a bit of the instruments but mostly the lyrics XD but there both good.
5:41 when Knox was trying to see the very short clip of her change
Hey Knox!
Love your reactions, been watching through them for a while.
You're content is great, keep it up! You're breakdowns are fantastic c:
This is why I love watching other people's reactions. Sometimes they point out things that I miss. I thought I understood everything in the music video, but I completely missed the part where Powder turned when the bug came out of her mouth. I didn't even catch that until he pointed it out in this reaction. Thank you!
Great reaction. Is tragic how underrated this song is.
i agree with you , specially for the rap part (polyrhythm/flow) and the fact that there are only two chords and i noticed many people would like it without rap
I fell in love with this song, can't get enough! I had no idea what League of Legends was about and knew none of the characters....yet this short series really captured me and I enjoyed every minute. Sad ending though.
many thanks for your analysis specially for te rap part (polyrhythm/flow) which many people don't appreciate. i am 56 and i love music... all music. i saw the live mtv by mistake by zapping
and it attracted me a lot, a lot of positive energy, beautiful! . my reaction was wow what is this? I like. so I looked for reactions and ... a lot of wow... ok i'm not the only one.
Thanks for doing this song Knox... adore the dynamics in this and the production of the high and lows and the artwork is incredible!
Growing your beard suits you very well with this style bro
It's really interesting to see you to immediately know and *remember* the text. That's amazing!
I've heard this song dozens of times and I *still* don't know what it's about. It's all about the music and melody for me.
You did this exact thing in your Encanto reaction (you suddenly started to repeat the lyrics and analyzing its rhymes), just wow. :)
Awesome attention to the lyrics. I didn't realize the deep meaning behind them until you explained I was too mesmorized by the video and music.
Hey, on RUclips, comma and full stop are the shortcuts you want. Forward one frame and backwards one frame.
In the story they gave characters with significance dull eyes till they find their purpose. In those moments their eyes get a color change into thier real color but the pink eyes I dont wanna spoil.
If you want to get the individual frame in a video, use the < and > arrows when the video is paused.
I'm SO glad that he's reacting to this!
I had to watch this, watch the show, then watch the music video again and it all came together and I started understanding it more
Maan, Respect that you pay attention for the lore and the story itself!!!
I remember getting the notification the moment i seen imagine dragons and jid was like yeah this is gonna be 🔥
I love me some Imagine Dragons! Excited to watch this one 🙌
I like the line between the chorus and following verse “but I’m ready” because the previous lines were “everybody wants to be my enemy” then “look out for yourself”, followed by that line as if he’s answering to those lines specifically saying he’s ready to go against everyone who opposes him. Like Jinx does. She takes on everyone who she feels is against her, regardless. It’s like a call and respond snuck in there that you may not quite realize is there. It could be taken as just a quick ad lib or bridging line, getting you ready for the next verse. It’s interesting.
Bro I know it's not rap and I love your break downs, can you do wrecked by imagine dragons?
I don't know how to support and love this request any more! PLEASE do it Knox🙏🙏🤞🤞💕💕
that song had me tearing up fr
just letting you know, you can use the , and . keys to go back and forth frames at a time. theyre the alt < > keys too
I love your breakdowns, knox! Its because of you I'm able to get and understand the deeper meanings behind some of my favorite songs. I've been hoping you would do Radioactive by Imagin Dragons ft. Kendrick Lamar. I suppose now would be a good time to request it... on my first ever comment on one of your videos, no less. 😊 Hope you have an awesome day! 💜
i believe the name of the police in arcane/Zaun (where the show is) are called wardens. Might be wrong though
No, in game they are called wardens. In Arcane they are called enforcers
This dude knows what he is saying, Awesome job on noticing the hidden details
