i like league too yes it can be kinda tilting sometimes but still its the most fun game ive ever played and it keeps me hooked insanely fun to tryhard ranked with friends
A really cool detail is that when Caitlyn talks about her Mom and Jinx, the wind from the vents blows it all around like how she's caught up in an emotional whirlwind of rage and grief. But, when speaking of Vi, the wind calms down like at the eye of the storm, showing she is the one that keeps her more at peace in all of this.
Speaking of how Mel and Jayce are both uninjured. Take a look at the scene again where Salo is sitting in his wheelchair, looking at the roof as it rains. At the bottom right end of the screen you can see that the table and floor are undamaged. The floor basically looks like it has been waxed. The councilor who lost one eye was sitting next to Mel, with the undamaged side of her face closest to Mel. The rest of the councilors, who were all seated further away, got blown apart. Something definitely protected Mel, I just think she doesn't even know it herself.
I think Mel protected Jayce. But she doesn’t want to add to his survivors guilt(or her own). We can see her subtly move the conversation away from that particular topic, she does care for him but she is a master at steering conversation with him
If she protected him with any kind of magical artifact or ability that isn't hextech she would have been in violation of the ethos, so if she did and knows it, she certainly couldn't talk about it.
If you look at the shot where they show the whole counsel room you can see the place mel and jayce were standing isnt cracked and is completely untouched. She def has some sort of power but im not entirely sure whether she activates it or it does it on its own.
In the final part of the scene this episode where the Council decides to invade Zaun, the pan zooms out showing the entire floor from a near top-down perspective. From this perspective, we can see a perfect circle of undamaged floor and table. If you compare the center of the circle to the final scene of Season 1, it's the same spot where Mel stood.
The scene of Cait trying to get Vi to be an enforcer is so messed up, especially they way she acts offended that Vi is rejecting it, replying to the fact that enforcer's murdered her parents with the fact that Cait also knows how it feels, and yet somehow not getting that what she's asking is the equivalent of someone asking Caitlyn to team up with Jinx.
not really, Cait isnt asking vi to team up with specifically the same enforcers that killed her parents. Its moreso similar to if vi asked cait to side with zaun, which she somewhat does in act 2 even with jinx there. Im also pretty sure cait was very aware vi was going to decline. She wanted to try and also show vi that she doesnt want to sideline her due to vi being a zaunite.
I'm talking about the comparison vi makes directly, Enforcers killed her parents, and asks if Cait knows how that feels. Cait angrily replies she does, makes sense considering her mother just died, but regardless of her reason she is completely detached from understanding Vi's feelings. I would accept that she was just trying to include Vi if it weren't for the "I thought you were on our side." Which whether she intended it or not is just so manipulative and slimy. I've got hopes for Caitlyn and I still want them to make up, but I also very much think that her trauma has brought her to a very toxic place this season.
It's clearly that she wants Vi to be with her and fight by her side because she needs someone while she grieves. She just thinks the best way to do that is to make her an enforcer. Which is logical but they have vastly different backgrounds and vastly different relationships with the enforcers based on that. She can understand grief but she won't understand an institutional violence aimed against her.
@@komos3719 it's not just about wanting someone on her side while she grieves. She knows won't just sit and do nothing while they go after Jinx, she feels she's her responsability so eventually she will just take her weapons and go on her own, that's everything Cait doesn't want bc last time she did a risky mission with rushed plans on her own her mom died, she feels like doing that again is a death sentence, she feels Vi would die this time. So that's why she offers her to join, bc she knows Vi will do something and that's the safer way to do it, any other she sees it as Vi dying. Are personal feelings involved? Sure. But it's not just that.
I think Caithlyn was thinking « I know what it feels because your sister Jinx killed my mom but I still love you. And your parents were killed by enforcers but you still love me, right?» She’s not asking for Vi to be on the side of the enforcers, she’s asking Vi to be on her side and to accompany her. She’s asking her if their love is worth it… However Vi joins not for love but to protect the population.
Holy shit I didn't think I would live to see someone actually saying good things about League of Legends, as in the actual game. People meme against the game so hard that they forget there's a genuine fun game in there.
The Maddie and Vi scene wasn't a trick nor dirty move, it was genuine. And the other guy was genuinely drunk, it's implied he was drinking like that bc he lost someone in the attack.
if you remember the ending of s1, Mel's back brace (i dont know what it is called) started glowing - I would expect that it was some kind of device that protected her
I saw a lot of people saying Cait was messed up for asking for Vi to join the enforcers but for me, Caithlyn was thinking « I know what it feels because your sister Jinx killed my mom but I still love you. And your parents were killed by enforcers but you still love me, right?» She’s not asking for Vi to be on the side of the enforcers, she’s asking Vi to be on her side and to accompany her. She’s asking her if their love is worth it… However Vi joins not for love but to protect the population.
well i think Vi joined for several reasons but the main one is she feels responsible for Jinx so protecting the population & helping the person she loves come with that too
tbh being paranoid about hidden plans is very good for this season, its going to serve the bros very well going forward. They just started the speculation a bit early.
Yeah, I was super confused why they thought this at all. It's pretty evident that the girl just admires Cait and given how much Cait clearly respected Vi, it makes sense that the girl was hyped to meet her.
they said in the discussion that they don't think it was a trick from Cait, but yeah it was a really weird take, specially bc they felt so sure about it
@@aaronyayger Personally, I would be very disappointed if she just ends up being nothing more than a naive Caitlyn follower and there isn't another twist to her character later.
It was likely just a confusion between what we know as an audience and what the characters know. Vi had just said no to Caitlyn, so there was no way yet for Maddie to know about it - she was just going by what she expected when Caitlyn vouched for Vi, that she joining was a sure thing. It was clear to me, but I can understand when reactors, who maybe face an expectation of analysing this kind of thing, may over analyze stuff some times.
Was waiting for this to pop-up in my notifications, now I am even more impatient for the next one! I love your channel and reactions because of the sheer amount of emotions you guys go through in just one episode of a show (especially this one) :D
Sometimes yall are the best reactors and then sometimes you misread so hard it's legitimately frustrating. There was no plan to emotionally manipulate Vi into joining with the enforcers. It's pretty obvious that it's not remotely planned. It's a dude she met randomly on the streets who was ALREADY laying there almost passed out, lest you forget. He perked up because he heard that she went after Silco herself. The same Silco who is now known as the big crime boss of the underground to the public. Maddie was very obviously just kinda starstruck meeting the woman who did that and was praised so immensely by Cait that she threatened to pull her family's funding to get her in. There's no puzzle here.
And on rewatching it, I did feel that there was *something* off about Maddie. Completely bought the starstruck officer the first time around, but there were some things about her demeanor that I couldn't even put my finger on right now that felt weird to me. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
@@FonVegen Bro, you definitely are. I don't know how far you are into the season but there's literally no evidence to what you're thinking. She's not relevant enough to have that large of an arc.
I’ve been waiting for you guys! I have been watching all my favorite reactors during the week while I count the seconds until the next act drop. I normally bitch about series going to long but now I’m cursing that Arcane is only two seasons. But I’m also super excited to explore more of Runeterra, Ionia or Demasia please! Let’s Go!
Ah I've been waiting for you guys, been following you since season 3 of RWBY, can't wait for your reactions to the new heartbreaks Arcane's gonna unleash!
18:50 … yeah no, not at all 😒 idk how sometimes you guys are so good and predict the most random twists, and sometimes you just ignore everything happening on screen and come up with some fairytale 😅 He looked up because Silco was mentioned and how Vi alone moved against him, he is literally the big bad underground boss everyone knows. You saw literally seconds before that he was lying drunk in the alley, and that Vi was the one initiating the contact And Maddie literally like she said, was interested because Caitlyn, literally went ballistic to get her into the enforcers, and literally threatened to withdraw her family money
23:28 damn, nearly as if the mother of the child that Jayce killed wanted revenge. The one who literally controlled the shimmer fabrics, and those shimmer suits 😅
Have you guys seen the Ambessa-centered Blood Sweat and Tears cinamatic? It's not necessary to the story but Itself very good and I'd be interested in seeing your guys' take on it
Your "comment in its entirety" doesn't make sense. A retired enforcer doesn't wear an enforcer uniform. Neither would he be assigned to an active strike force at the end of the episode. ;)
You guys are overthinking things (again xdd), Maddie talking to Vi wasn't some kind of setup to recruit her, if that was the case then Caitlyn would have been the one to do the setup... and at this point of the story im certain she wouldn't just straight-up manipulate Vi. And the drunk guy pretending to be asleep to overhear the conversation is most likely just nosy, that's all. Of course... i could be proven wrong once the season is completed, but im fairly certain im right. You guys are the only reactors i've seen to interpret the scene that way xddddd.
nah cait do not get it really cait asking vi to join those who killed her parents and help them out while jinx killed cait's mother (1 parent) and cait was not on jinx's side really.. more likely she is the one who pushed her to do it after fking up the conversation between vi,jinx and silco
Appearantly, after Jinx fired the rocket, with Vi and Kate right next to her, they all just said goodbye and wished a nice day to each other and went their separate ways…

OOOH, you're one of THOSE people. I see
Lol, Jacob streamed himself playing Teemo the other day.
“League adds to my life”💀
i like league too yes it can be kinda tilting sometimes
but still its the most fun game ive ever played and it keeps me hooked
insanely fun to tryhard ranked with friends
Is it a form of Stockholm syndrome? Yes.
Do we care? Nope.
Is that bad? Probably.

"This bastard has caused me so much grief in midlane"
LMAO
I legit can’t tell if he’s talking about Jayce or Victor XD
Yay! Two more victi- I mean reactors to Season Two!! Can’t wait to see what you both think.
And so glad to see what you caught and what you might have missed, can’t wait to see how you react when we discover the truth.

I love seeing Jayce at the end there, the just sitting with shame of having just made hex-tech into the one thing he never wanted it used for.
I know the bros are going to love this season since it has been great so far
Speaking of how Mel and Jayce are both uninjured. Take a look at the scene again where Salo is sitting in his wheelchair, looking at the roof as it rains. At the bottom right end of the screen you can see that the table and floor are undamaged. The floor basically looks like it has been waxed. The councilor who lost one eye was sitting next to Mel, with the undamaged side of her face closest to Mel.
The rest of the councilors, who were all seated further away, got blown apart.
Something definitely protected Mel, I just think she doesn't even know it herself.

about jinx waving the flag in the OP, if you look at her expression, it looks bewildered and like she doesnt want to be here at all

yup. I thought that was 100% obvious and clear but guess not lol
@thatepicwizardguy first time I see someone misunderstand tho, I think they just had a bad moment
I thought the same when I saw it for the first time and I still kinda do.
