Something fun about the ekko and powder is that theyre taller in the other universe since they werent malnourished in their infancy, just a lil fun detail :)
Powder’s face is more filled out and her cheeks are less hollow, too. Her skin is also isn’t as pale and sickly looking cause they finally have sunlight in the underground 🥺
Their infancy is unchanged. The job is when the timeline changed. Heimerdinger actually returned the same day as the job and the same day Vi dies. We do not know what happened to Jayce, my guess is he also died in the explosion, thus putting an end to Hextech. From that point forward Heimerdinger worked to unite Piltover and Zaun, and since he was head of the academy and council and also had all the knowledge of the future he was successful.
@@teraxeSlight correction, Heimerdinger showed up in that universe about 3 years after the job. Season 1 Act 1 is about 6-7 years before present day. H-bomb has been there about 3 years. The turning point is Vi's death (presumably) leading Vander and Silco to reconcile, leading to a less radical Zaunite movement, which probably really started taking off when H-dog arrived. Not to mention all our Act 1-3 casualties surviving to innovate and maintain the peace.
“In all possibilities, in all timelines, only you.” Is the single most romantic, intimate, loving line I have ever heard in any piece of media ever made
To me, this is right next to the "I cared about the whole world because of you. You changed me." and the whole monologue it was included in. If you know, you know. I have not been the same since.
I thought it was really obvious that Jayce and Viktor were ment to be platonic but keep seeing like literally everyone acting like it’s not, you can love someone without it being romantic 😭
@@heatherhumphrey7 just because the creator said it was INTENDED to be platonic doesn’t dictate how anyone can watch the show. I’m allowed to see it as romantic if I want to, you can’t force me not to
insane that ekko was the only morally good character and he ended up totally alone, no powder, no heimerdinger, no benzo, nothing, like my boy deserved sm better
I kinda feel like this diminishes ekkos entire firelight community, he built that up and just based on everything he seemed well respected and close to people in that community. He did lose the people from his childhood but he was able to keep the community he created.
14:51 The reason why Jayce was thrown into a different universe is because he doesn’t have a body to inhabit in the Powder universe BECAUSE HE KILLED HIMSELF when he got his research taken away and the explosion killed a child, remember we saw him attempt suicide in season 1
@@KikiMk06cos in the happy au there is also no viktor and we know now they are bound. in the doomed au there is the mage viktor. since mage viktor gave him the rune, that’s probably how he ended up where the mage viktor is
Jinx is alive!!! If you watch closely, you'll see her characteristic shimmer dash out right before the explosion. In one of the next scenes, Cait is looking at the project of the hexgate and there is a lot of vents Jinx could slip through, aswell as finding the head of her monkey bomb, but no dead body. And lastly, in the very last scene of this season, there is a zeppelin, which Jinx said in first episode of first season she's gonna ride one day
ACTUALLY, as Cait would have said, it is not a Zeppelin. A Zeppelin is a blimp, and those boats are Airships :v But YES Jinx is indeed alive! All those hints point towards that conclusion. I believe we will see her in the next series as a cameo or late entrance in the season.
Ekko, the boy savior. Left a timeline where he had everything he wanted to go back to the timeline where he lost it all…just to save it all. Someone said Jayce was sent to where it all SHOULDNT have been. & Ekko was sent to where it all COULDVE been. They both saw what they needed to see…ALSO, the Powder & Ekko dance/kiss scene made me so happy yet so sad 😭 they deserved to be together.
Jayce and Viktor were literally soulmates in every universe as well, I sobbed so hard for them, Jayce choosing to go with Viktor was the most beautiful scene to me, it was way too emotional.
Platonic soulmates right? Like brothers right? Because I try so hard to see any romance between the those 2 because of some the internet is shipping them. And I just don't see it. I see the close friendship and the bond of brothers in them but definitely no romance. Like the love story of this show is not romance but the love between siblings or their chosen siblings.
@@CowsRdumbwhile canonically it’s defo brotherly love why is it bothering so many people if people choose to interpret it (whether ironically or unironically) as them being lovers?? 😭😭 Like I’ll go “hahah they gay” and people start screaming and crying about them being brothers CALM DOWN
@@nimchy_ Idc if people ship them. My problem is people saying it as facts. And saying like it's cannon when it's not. Also let's keep it a buck most of y'all only "ship" them because you don't want to see Jayce with a black woman. And that's the tea for the majority. Y'all downplay Jayce and Mel and try to make her a villain in Jayce's and Viktor non cannon love affair. Most Jayce and Viktor fans hate Mel. This always happens when a black woman is in a interracial relationship with a non black man. A lot of the fandoms will be like nope these men can't date black women so let's just call him gay and say he's in love with his best friend. And it happens in all film or shows where a black woman is a love interest. And since most black women dont watch stuff like this the fandom against them will always be bigger. And that's my problem
seeing the life ekko could’ve had with powder is so heartbreaking 🥲 and the fact that he let it go shows how much emotional strength he carries. it’s so bittersweet
Just drop the whole Vi needs to die so every body else gets to be happy bs. Even that AU is fucked. Powder still have the hexcores. Victor literally said that the original timeline they were on was the ONLY timeline where everything gets resolved peacefully. The only reason that AU isn't at the late stage of hexcore disaster yet is because Jayce wasn't there to develop it. BUT POWDER STILL HAS IT. And now that she knows that AUs are a thing... she might want to use it to bring back Vi. Either that or Noxians will wage on Piltover because Black Rose already infiltrated it so they will still need hextech weaponry.
@alvinsmith3894 This person did not say she needed to die, they just pointed out the fact that Vi would be willing to die if Powder could be happy like this. And that that's both true and sad.
Yes and no, ive watched every interview he's ever done and his own thoughts are a bit more complex then that Linke has said in the end they are proud of what they did, and that the "5 seasons" is total misinformation, but he also admitted to having to cut a lot out and the final episode being planned for 1h 30m. Point being by the end of the day the creators did admit they had to cut a lot, but its nowhere near what people are saying calling it "an unfinished mess" or they were severely compromised in the vision that's just not true, not that that's what you were implying just in general
The first season took many years so within the timespan they did this is pretty impressive. The art alone was beautiful and probably took a lot of time alone.
u r so correct chat, “an inseparable piece of everything i admire” / “in all timelines only you” / “all i want is my PARTNER back” / “you were never broken viktor, there is beauty in imperfections” / the forehead touch in zaun being as meaningful as a kiss / THE ARM RUB, GAAAAAA IM ON THE FLOOR 💔💔
Cant believe its over, what a beautiful show on all fronts from the writing, to the animation, to the soundtrack to the voice acting everyone who worked on this brought their absolute best
Vander and Silco are together as well. The hand on his armor moves to skin when Ekko brings up 'the incident' for emotional support. That and the look Vander gives him. In this reality they got their brothers in arm to enemies to lovers arc and that alone would make me stay there forever.
@@n4ira.. did you see how in the video, he shipped them too… so saying they’re brothers when the video says it too is a moot point. They’re not blood brothers anyway, so who cares.
It's likely Heimerdinger actually isn't dead! His species is Yordle which are more spirits than they are creatures. They don't age and they don't die. He likely just respawned at Bandle City and is doing just fine!
But the question is, did he respawn at the Bandle City of that universe? Or the one of his (our) universe? What happened to the Heimer of the AU? Did they not respawn at all, because the Arcane killed him/them? So many questions.
ekko never really hated jinx, thats why he couldn't kill her in season one. no matter what happens or what she did he will always see the girl he once loved so much in her eyes. also fun fact, the scene of ekko and powder dancing is in exactly 4fps because he can only travel back 4 seconds and its something he wants to remember forever.
I love that the alternate timeline is better for a few different reasons, not just one. Hextech never got made due to Jayce’s work causing Vi’s death, Shimmer isn’t ravaging the streets, and Silco forgave and made up with Vander, most likely due to the letter he wrote him in episode 5. I’m fairly certain these key changes are the reason they were able to make a peace treaty and independence for Zaun work so well
Sorry this video is so late, I was on holiday this week and this video went through copyright HELL!! But regardless, these last three episodes??? Ouch 😭💔
The predictions.. The gay celebration. The flopping on the bed 😂😂 the crying 😭 I cried so much too. I can say, the witch that killed ambessa with the black body and glowing eyes is le blanc from the game.! There’s so many little lore details you’ll get to see on the internet now. Jinx might be alive 👀 pink lightning (her ability)and Cait looking at the ducts that she “blew up” in.. I wish we could all have happy endings!!
Hey Niall! Three things for you: 1. Jinx is alive, you can look it up, there's three important proofs about this. You can actually see her glowing pink shimmer ray right before the explosion, when Cait is looking up the maps of hexgates, she looks at the conducts of ventilation, meanwhile she's holding the head of the monkey-bomb and then she smiles, which tells us that she believes that Jinx got out of there. And then, the first episode of season 1 ends with Powder saying "one day i'll fly one of those" while a zeppelin is flying above them, and the last scene of the show is a parallel zeppelin, which tells us she's in there, flying away of the city as she promised she would. Last but not least, the "THE END" is so Jinx's style. 2. You said the moment between Ekko and Powder dancing is sad to you, look up the lyrics of the song "Ma Meilleure Ennemie", it is actually so sad. 3. You also said "Ekko learned to love Jinx", he always loved her, if you check the videoclip of "Imagine Dragons - My enemy", you will see some little Ekko and Powder moments, they both loved each other. That's why when Ekko is reversing time to avoid Jinx blowing herself up, when he mentions that she will blow both of them, that time instead of pulling the bomb, she decides to fall first so he wouldn't die. Sorry for the long comment lol
Jinx is still alive: - If you slow down the scene where jinx lets off the grenade in the hex core, there’s a pink flash that comes off her eyes when she uses her speed powers - The airship in the end scene is the exact same ship that powder looked at in the first season and said she was gonna ride in one of those one day - in the end scene before cait walks over to vi, she’s holding jinx’s monkey bomb head and looking at the map of the area that jinx “exploded” in, specifically the vents 👀 she also smiles when she looks at it but it could also be bc she heard vi humming - the speech that silco gave her in the jail cell said that the way to end the cycle of violence is to walk away, which at first she tries to yk blow up, but when she realizes it’s not gonna actually fix anything, it seems that she ends up literally walking away and escaping through the vents, riding an airship to another place - the very last few frames are “the end” written in jinx’s handwriting and scribbly style, just basically a wink that she’s still alive - “sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind” 🥲 Also she’s not listed as dead on the fandom wiki so I’m choosing to believe she’s alive lol I don’t think the animators would put all of these details in otherwise
In the good universe, my guess is Jayce either also died in the explosion (he almost died the first time) or he didn’t die and he was forbidden by the Council from continuing on his Hextech quest and didn’t keep doing it after the death of Vi.
Ok but like I love that moment where they dance and the more you don’t talk the more you cry because the music and the dance break your heart knowing what it could’ve been… I know from experience 😭
I agree that this show is one of the best pieces of media to have ever been made. A show has never made me feel THIS inspired, distraught, hyped, and AHH just a LOT of emotions. Like, come ONNN this show genuinely knocks so much out of the park. I cannot stop talking about it with people I know!
they did vi dirty (literally said they were more interested in other characters this season which explains why she’s such a passive side character now) and for this i will be forever salty
14:52 bad knews bestie, Jayce does no exist in that parallel universe. Remeber how Viktor stopped Jayce from Jumping in S1 ... he wasn't thee to do it this time around
Some good news!! Heimerdinger didn't actually died bc yordles (his species) are multi-dimentional travellers and their souls are reborn at their home-dimention (sorry for the bad english)
Jinx is alive. Right before the explosion, you can see a pink strike going out for the vents, that's Jinx dashing away. During this season, they focused a lot on how fast Jinx is and how she leaves a pink strike when she is dashing, so she escaped the explosion. At the start of the show, in episode 1, Powder says this while there's a ship flying over them: "One day, I'm going to ride in one of those things!", and what is the last scene? A very similar shot with the ship going away to NOXUS! The ending being written in Jinx's style hints that she's on the ship. Also, Silco told her: "In order to break the cycle, you have to walk away!", so she does.
I have no idea what to do now that this show is over, it quite literally took over my life. Imma edit this with any fun facts and reactions while I watch! 3:05 Personally I think it’s that Zaun became its own nation and at peace with Piltover…likely due to what we find out later. 6:36 One of my favorite things is that Ekko, who’s whole life has been war and struggle, went to a universe with peace. Meanwhile Jayce, who’s only ever really known peace thanks to living in Piltover, went to a universe of war and struggle. Nice detail! 9:49 There are theories that it likely also killed Jayce, considering how close he was to the explosion. That or he died by jumping to his own demise… 14:54 like I said, theories that he died on impact or suicide. 16:29 Detail you might have missed, Vander has Vi’s VI/Roman 6 tattoo on his hand! 21:25 DO NOT WORRY! Yordle’s can’t die, they just respawn in Bandle City… at least in LoL lore. 23:26 I personally did not think Mel could get any hotter and then they proved me wrong. 32:57 I personally love how that despite the fact Viktor’s no longer…well. Viktor. And doesn’t really have any emotions, he still tried (albeit forcefully) to get Jayce on his side. 35:25 I dunno how to explain but the Musician Going To War guy really got to me. 38:22 FUN FACT!!! Viktor *actually* died in the council room. There’s a frame back in episode 1 when Jayce is reviving him and we see Viktor’s skeleton-his spine is snapped. So. Yeah, he died. 53:10 Seeing Ambessa scared and in pain actually chilled me the first time I saw it. 54:39 Through the power of love-and Ekko. Lol. 59:41 However you view Jayce and Viktor as-romantic, platonic, brothers-you can NOT deny that they are soulmates. Intricately bound and unable to live without the other.
Time for my regularly scheduled Jinx is alive sermon. There are too many intentional hints in the direction that she survived and took this opportunity to run away and "break the cycle", because she knows after everything that happened it would be really difficult to actually go back to "normal". As for proof: Purple streak away from the explosion is her shimmer flash, Caitlyn seeing the escape tunnels in the blueprints, she has a fragment of the bomb in hand and gives a smirk so they investigated the explosion site for a body, Powder mentioned wanting to go on an airship and the final scene is an unexplained airship, and then flashing "The End" as Jinx's writing is the cherry on top. All this to say it sucks for Ekko, because he lost basically everyone and everything. Even in the perfect scenario where Jinx told him of her plan to run away (which is what I will headcanon because they're in love) he still has to just deal with her being gone. After saving everything!!
The deciever is LeBlanc. The leader of the Black Rose in Noxxus. Jinx escaped in a purple flash...right as the explosion started. The showrunner has said "We are far from done" Arcane is done but stories from Runeterra are not.
It never ceases to surprise me how y'all always manage to invalidate wlw relationships. They had literal sex and that's still not gay enough apparently
@@weliveinadystopia665It never ceases to amaze me how someone always manages to make the least offensive thing in existence into an insult. Literally nobody invalidated wlw relationships, and people in wlw relationships say that kind of shit all the time.
And noticing that Viktor never touches another person this season other than Jayce, and in the finale Viktor’s fingerprints are on Jayce’s forehead, like they’re permanently part of one another…
Just realised that Viktor is still playing with "senseless waste". He created his own time loop, experimented with different timelines because he couldn't imagine a world without Jayce and him in it. If he had never saved Jayce and his mom, never given him the rune in the first place, there would never have been hextech in the first place and we've seen that the world would have been better for it. But in that case Jayce would have died in the snow storm and Viktor couldn't bare that. So he did his experiments, likely dooming countless of timelines to a hextech hell, just to find the only one where he and Jayce could be together. His motives were always selfish.
I'm not from the LoL community and reading some of these comments got me curious about heimerdinger just respawning in another place all confused ahhaha
Its the lore! He’s from a specific species called Yordles and they just resurrect back to their main city! They’re one of the rare species that every region in the game has their own Yordle, which is pretty cool.
Started watching your channel with the first Arcane binge video have been enjoying every one to come out since and wanted to say the way you edit is incredible and the way you express yourself is far more engaging and entertaining than most if not almost all other reaction channels keep it up 😁😁😁
That AU is possible because of several things: 1. Silco read Vanders letter in the mine, resulting him not inventing Shimmer with Singed 2. No shimmer means Viktor eventually dies because of his illness 3. The blast at episode 1 that killed Vi either killed Jayce as well or he killed himself ( no body to switch to like Ekko and 'dinger had ) 4. Vi's death probably made Silco and Vander work harder for better future for Zaun as they both failed Felicia's daughter. 6. Powder took remaining hexgems as it is something that killed her sister and she knows how dangerous that is. She is keeping that timeline safe.
I completely understand where your coming from with the ending of Arcane season 2. I enjoyed watching your review this amazing show, you had me lol, which felt great to get out. I also wish they had gave us all more episode for this last season, like maybe 12 total episodes since they knew this would be the last arcane. I love this show and hope we all get a chance to see these characters again in the near future. I am super sad to see this all end, but I'm also very grateful for the show writers and creators of Arcane, they gave us this amazing experience and I will treasure it forever.
Yours are my favorite reactions that I've seen of this show, you're quick to pick up on things and you feel the all the emotions fully! It makes me happy to see someone love this show as much as I do
YAASS was waiting for your reaction! Needed to see the final act multiple times to wrap my mind around it all😭 BUT MY LAD!!!!!! Jinx is alive!! You see a split second of her pink shimmer self escape thru a vent right before the blast!! And she's in the blimp at the end❤️❤️❤️ First ep s1 she said "one day im gonna ride in one of those things" i say as they drag me into the mental ward😭
everyone says it could've used another episode or three and yet I am 100% confident, had they done that, people would have still felt like it was "rushed" or "incomplete" bc this is not a finished story ON PURPOSE. On top of that, there's so much that it is implied and you simply have to deduce the same way you would in a good film
The way that about 60mins of footage was cut out where we got to see Ekko and Jinx become friends with each other again IS SO SAD 😭😭😭 Honestly, if they had made the last episode the longest, I wouldn't have thought of it as out of place - it's just a finale thing 😭
44:54 I literally screamed when I saw this the first time, I’ve never like audibly screamed out of instinct when watching or reading something, I have gasped of course but never screamed and my family got legitimately worried cause I never scream or yell, my mom had a whole ass panic attack, and quite frankly, I’m still in denial, he had so few lines and yet somehow became one of my absolute favorite characters. I have so many questions about him, I haven’t been this interested and invested in a character that was basically a background character before in a long ass time.
"I've been able to accomplish wonderful things in this world." I choose to believe that Heimerdinger, now fully aware that his chronic inaction as a city Councellor in regards to issues in the Under City def contributed to the violent fallout in their original timeline, was an active and prominent part of building/maintaining the ideal version of the Under City in the diverging timeline, for the 3 years he was there.
Ekko: "Okay everyone, let's get to battle positions." Jinx: "Sit down and strike the most bomb-ass pose you've ever seen? Got it!" Whatever else you could say about Jinx, no one can deny she does it with style and drama every second of the day. I'm sure someone's told you, but the epilogue gives enough hints that she 1000% survives and maybe travelling to locations we'll be seeing in the followup series.
Just to think…Ambessa was probably so proud of Mel as she was dying. No matter what she did, she always wanted her children to be safe, now she knows for sure her little girl can take care of herself
EP7 was definately meant to be sad, the song we hear is "ma meilleure ennemie" it's essentially the guy singing, I we're absolutely terrible together, but I love you. They're telling eachother they should leave eachother. For as far as I know, the song isn't about Ekko and Powder, but more about Ekko and Jinx. It's in that scene that he really realizes he loves her. And HAS to go back to save her, but that's what I made of it and that perspective also isn't flawless (due to Ekko having very little contact and info on Jinx in S2.)
NIALL JINX IS ALIVE LIKE THERE ARE ACTUAL HINTS HER TRAIL OF SHIMMER THE AIR BALLOON LEAVING WHICH REFERENCES POWDER SAYING “IM GONNA RIDE THAT ONE DAY” IN SEASON 1 CAITLYN LOOKING AT THE AIR DUCKS It’s not even a theory I’m pretty sure she’s actually just alive!! In the Netflix RUclips series where the voice actors answer questions, they get asked if jinx is still alive and they kinda say ehhhh maybeeee 👀 SO SHES ALIVE‼️‼️
"Did your girl turn into an all powerfull witch?" Yes because we have the same girl :))) This show destroyed me on so many levels. As a mentally ill person and suicide survivor I really needed a happy ending for Jinx (or at least a not horrible one)
This show definitely needed one more season, you can feel the rush from the writers in the way they start killing off characters and straight up taking down stablished plotlines just to have their time-travel ending. Still one of the better shows produced recently.
Ugh, I loved this show, and I love watching my favourite commentators react to it. I'm so heartbroken that Jinx died. Her and Vi's lives were so tragic, and that she didn't make it in the end and that Vi lost her again hurts so much. I wonder if Echo would ever try to re-build the time machine, but that would cause an anomaly, so I don't think he would risk the world just for what he wants. I wish the creators had had more time to include slower moments to give viewers time to breathe and process, and I wish it was clear how much time had passed between arcs and within arcs.
Jayce and atleast def Cait died in the alternate universe that ekko went to aswell. Vi and Cait don't exist without eachother and if Cait died, then jayce would've too, hence why he never continued making hex tech- though even if he did survive, seeing his stuff kill a girl would've also kept him from making it. Which in the end, boosted zaun and piltover to be better.
Is Jayce actually dead? Cause I thought Jayce would’ve been arrested for the death of a child, meaning that he never got a chance to talk it out with the counsel or meet Viktor to make Hextech
@@ghostlyexe we don't know for sure but if he was ready to end himself because he couldn't continue his research, I'd assume witnessing his research killing someone would have made him even more suicidal. and without hextech, Viktor dies from his disease as well. Idk why Cait would have died tho? she can very well be alive in that universe
@valeriyav2149 Cait also dying is the most logical conclusion, since Pilltover and Zaun have managed to reconcile after that incident. The Council wouldn't really care about one dead kid from the undercity, but if both Vi and Cait died (and it's poetic in a sense, cause they are mirror images, being the daughters of the cities' leaders)... it'd have been a great tragedy and a wake-up call for Pilltover. Also, another reason people think Cait probably died in that universe: in the regular universe Cait was clumsy and accidentally dropped something from the box she was holding, which alerted the group and allowed them to block the door and start escaping. If in this universe she didn't drop anything she'd have been right by the door with Jayce, and Vi would also be closer to the explosion. So it's all a theory, but it makes complete sense.
I go trough the freaking catharsis in the last act. I was crying soo hard, this series, this songs I feel stronger when I'm listening to it. Its literally building culture at this point.
hehehe there are so many signs that Jinx lived :D before the explosion, there was a lil flash of pink (Possibly Jinx and her shimmer) into the vents. In Episode 1, Powder said "One day, I'm gonna fly one of those things" and it links to the blimp, and Jinx also said before she "died", "You know, I never seem to actually die" SO THINKKK
For every moment I think about how hard things must have been for Jayce in that hellscape world he visited... I still feel like the pain he suffered pales in comparison to the pain Ekko would have to feel, seeing a perfect world and having to leave it to return to a world where he has no one left.
Fun fact: The song that plays during Jinx’s grand entrance in episode 9 is called Come Play by the kpop group Stray Kids. I definitely suggest their music if you liked that song :) ❤️
Because Viktor and Jayce got pulled into the acceleration rune, the same rune responsible for Ekko’s time travelling, it’s possible that they’re still alive!
I read recently that there are spin-offs currently in development (past just the conceptual phase), though Netflix is keeping it all pretty under wraps for the most part and nothing is really certain, but hopefully we'll get a new show set in the world within the next couple of years
Heard someone make an observation that Heimerdinger represents the last, Ekko represents the present and Jayce represents the future when they get sent to different dimensions. And owls like on Elmo’s mask are the only birds that can see the color blue 😩🥺 Arcane is best show I have ever watched in my life
there's a theory that says that there's a chance of jinx being alive, plus the creators answer to "is jinx dead?" that they didn't know. they will explore other regions in runeterra and they also said that maybe in a future they wanted to get back to zaun to explore it more deeply, so... fingers crossed to see jinx again and other characters from arcane like cait, vi or ekko in a future series!! :)
I need you to know, because of you always calling Heimerdinger "Himplepopper", when the time loop scene played and Ekko realised the limit was 4 seconds, the ONLY thought in my head was Himplepopper POPPED! 🤣🤣
Watched this with my fiancée and her reaction and the way her eyes got so wide 😂😂😂😂 she straight up was like “babe…we need to recreate this” 😍😍😍😍 hate the distanceeeee cuz I bet if I was there during this scene…can’t and vi wouldn’t be the only ones having fun 😂😂😂
I love this series for so many reasons but one of the biggest ones is that I'm in my late 20s and grew up in a high-control religion, and uh... This is one of those shows that will let you know if you're actually not totally straight like you were raised to believe 🤣
I CALLED IT!!! Maddie and Ambessa working together!!!! And I feel so vindicated now that it was also confirmed by the lead writer!!! Maddie was a plant all along!! - Maddie was the first to beat her chest - Pulled from the car-thing during the memorial attack by huge Shimmer suit dude and NOT killed - Maddie was in bed (god that still makes me sick) trying to get Cait to see Ambessa is trying to “protect them” - Maddie was eaves dropping at the door when Cate & Vi had their argument about Powder - Maddie was carrying the bomb…and also sabotaged it - Maddie showed ZERO remorse or hesitation in pulling the trigger Then there is what Ambessa told Vi in Episode 6...."your absence provided a vacuum I was able to fill." She could have been meaning herself...but it is 100% confirmed now that she meant Maddie. And yes….the “I did appreciate your warmth”…not “I loved you, how could you betray me like this”, not “I will miss you”….simply she APPRECIATED it!! Someone who was simply a jilted lover would NOT just pull the trigger like she did, and in the single black and white image, you see her SMILING!!! Cait wasn’t anything to Maddie…she was a job.
Ahhh you have had my favorite reaction(s) out of everyone I’ve watched-to both seasons! I was getting so impatient waiting for your act 3 vid to come out because you’ve very quickly become my favorite RUclipsr as well! Hilarious but thoughtful commentary, brilliant editing, thank you so so much for watching Arcane!
I did appreciate your warmth.
I prefer you cold.
damn hahaha
😂
Honestly, that's one of the worst things she could have said, like 'yeah, I did appreciate your warmth, but not enough to betray Ambessa for you lol'
THAT'S F*CKING RIGHT 🤌
Daaaaaaaaam hahhahahahahaah
Something fun about the ekko and powder is that theyre taller in the other universe since they werent malnourished in their infancy, just a lil fun detail :)
Powder’s face is more filled out and her cheeks are less hollow, too. Her skin is also isn’t as pale and sickly looking cause they finally have sunlight in the underground 🥺
The timelines didn't split until the job, they still had the same early childhood, but yeah they look way healthier
Their infancy is unchanged. The job is when the timeline changed. Heimerdinger actually returned the same day as the job and the same day Vi dies. We do not know what happened to Jayce, my guess is he also died in the explosion, thus putting an end to Hextech. From that point forward Heimerdinger worked to unite Piltover and Zaun, and since he was head of the academy and council and also had all the knowledge of the future he was successful.
@@ghostlyexeWell, Jinx only got paler because of the Shimmer
@@teraxeSlight correction, Heimerdinger showed up in that universe about 3 years after the job.
Season 1 Act 1 is about 6-7 years before present day. H-bomb has been there about 3 years.
The turning point is Vi's death (presumably) leading Vander and Silco to reconcile, leading to a less radical Zaunite movement, which probably really started taking off when H-dog arrived.
Not to mention all our Act 1-3 casualties surviving to innovate and maintain the peace.
“In all possibilities, in all timelines, only you.” Is the single most romantic, intimate, loving line I have ever heard in any piece of media ever made
While we see the moments he cherished the most about being with him 😢
To me, this is right next to the "I cared about the whole world because of you. You changed me." and the whole monologue it was included in.
If you know, you know.
I have not been the same since.
Wellll I’d argue “laundry and taxes” is pretty romantical lol
I thought it was really obvious that Jayce and Viktor were ment to be platonic but keep seeing like literally everyone acting like it’s not, you can love someone without it being romantic 😭
@@heatherhumphrey7 just because the creator said it was INTENDED to be platonic doesn’t dictate how anyone can watch the show. I’m allowed to see it as romantic if I want to, you can’t force me not to
insane that ekko was the only morally good character and he ended up totally alone, no powder, no heimerdinger, no benzo, nothing, like my boy deserved sm better
Seems pretty standard for arcane not sure why anyone expected happy endings
I want to believe he joined Jinx in the blimp and is now focusing on what he wants for himself. He was the boy saviour indeed
I thought ekko is friend with bliz
The only happy ending was that Ekko and Jinx are together in that Universe he was in. Which means Cait and Vi get's her Happy ending, and they don't.
I kinda feel like this diminishes ekkos entire firelight community, he built that up and just based on everything he seemed well respected and close to people in that community. He did lose the people from his childhood but he was able to keep the community he created.
14:51 The reason why Jayce was thrown into a different universe is because he doesn’t have a body to inhabit in the Powder universe BECAUSE HE KILLED HIMSELF when he got his research taken away and the explosion killed a child, remember we saw him attempt suicide in season 1
OMG IVE BEEN WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM IN THE OTHER UNIVERSE
I TOTALLY FORGOT HE TRIED TO COMMIT SEPPUKU
wouldn't this be also true in the timeline he ends up in? He is dead there as well
Might’ve also just died from the explosion along with caith
@@KikiMk06cos in the happy au there is also no viktor and we know now they are bound. in the doomed au there is the mage viktor. since mage viktor gave him the rune, that’s probably how he ended up where the mage viktor is
WOAHH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!! OH MY GOSH
Jinx is alive!!! If you watch closely, you'll see her characteristic shimmer dash out right before the explosion. In one of the next scenes, Cait is looking at the project of the hexgate and there is a lot of vents Jinx could slip through, aswell as finding the head of her monkey bomb, but no dead body. And lastly, in the very last scene of this season, there is a zeppelin, which Jinx said in first episode of first season she's gonna ride one day
ACTUALLY, as Cait would have said, it is not a Zeppelin. A Zeppelin is a blimp, and those boats are Airships :v
But YES Jinx is indeed alive! All those hints point towards that conclusion. I believe we will see her in the next series as a cameo or late entrance in the season.
its still a terrible ending
36:54 "Pop the strap on, girl lets go!" had me holleringgg lmfaooo😭😭
17:13 "a bit of faggotry in 'em" was a contender for sure 💀
Ekko, the boy savior. Left a timeline where he had everything he wanted to go back to the timeline where he lost it all…just to save it all. Someone said Jayce was sent to where it all SHOULDNT have been. & Ekko was sent to where it all COULDVE been. They both saw what they needed to see…ALSO, the Powder & Ekko dance/kiss scene made me so happy yet so sad 😭 they deserved to be together.
Niall told us from the start not to trust the gunger scotswoman maddie xD
He was down right all along. It was maddie all along
The way I ended up not even trusting myself in the end. She had us all fooled 😭
@@niallnochillFR 😭🙏
Jayce and Viktor were literally soulmates in every universe as well, I sobbed so hard for them, Jayce choosing to go with Viktor was the most beautiful scene to me, it was way too emotional.
Jayvik canon 😭❤️🩹
Platonic soulmates right? Like brothers right? Because I try so hard to see any romance between the those 2 because of some the internet is shipping them. And I just don't see it.
I see the close friendship and the bond of brothers in them but definitely no romance.
Like the love story of this show is not romance but the love between siblings or their chosen siblings.
@@CowsRdumbwhile canonically it’s defo brotherly love why is it bothering so many people if people choose to interpret it (whether ironically or unironically) as them being lovers?? 😭😭 Like I’ll go “hahah they gay” and people start screaming and crying about them being brothers CALM DOWN
@@nimchy_ Idc if people ship them. My problem is people saying it as facts. And saying like it's cannon when it's not.
Also let's keep it a buck most of y'all only "ship" them because you don't want to see Jayce with a black woman. And that's the tea for the majority. Y'all downplay Jayce and Mel and try to make her a villain in Jayce's and Viktor non cannon love affair.
Most Jayce and Viktor fans hate Mel.
This always happens when a black woman is in a interracial relationship with a non black man.
A lot of the fandoms will be like nope these men can't date black women so let's just call him gay and say he's in love with his best friend.
And it happens in all film or shows where a black woman is a love interest. And since most black women dont watch stuff like this the fandom against them will always be bigger.
And that's my problem
@@wan.7837 nah
seeing the life ekko could’ve had with powder is so heartbreaking 🥲 and the fact that he let it go shows how much emotional strength he carries. it’s so bittersweet
It’s even sadder when you realize Vi would 100% be willing to give her life for Powder if it meant she got a happy life like this 😢
yeah she absolutely would…
Just drop the whole Vi needs to die so every body else gets to be happy bs. Even that AU is fucked. Powder still have the hexcores. Victor literally said that the original timeline they were on was the ONLY timeline where everything gets resolved peacefully. The only reason that AU isn't at the late stage of hexcore disaster yet is because Jayce wasn't there to develop it. BUT POWDER STILL HAS IT. And now that she knows that AUs are a thing... she might want to use it to bring back Vi. Either that or Noxians will wage on Piltover because Black Rose already infiltrated it so they will still need hextech weaponry.
@alvinsmith3894 This person did not say she needed to die, they just pointed out the fact that Vi would be willing to die if Powder could be happy like this. And that that's both true and sad.
*"GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU REBOUND!"* PLEASE IM CRYING 😭
Don't worry, Jayce and Viktor just teleported away and are peacefully spending their honeymoon by the beach right now 😌
The creators did say that their one regret about the show was that they did not get enough time to tell the story the way they wanted to.
Yess! I seen somewhere they took a lot of scenes out because it was “too long”
Yes and no, ive watched every interview he's ever done and his own thoughts are a bit more complex then that
Linke has said in the end they are proud of what they did, and that the "5 seasons" is total misinformation, but he also admitted to having to cut a lot out and the final episode being planned for 1h 30m. Point being by the end of the day the creators did admit they had to cut a lot, but its nowhere near what people are saying calling it "an unfinished mess" or they were severely compromised in the vision that's just not true, not that that's what you were implying just in general
The first season took many years so within the timespan they did this is pretty impressive.
The art alone was beautiful and probably took a lot of time alone.
i'm so surprised he didn't clock the gayness between jayce and viktor LMAOO
those two are just bros best buds
what gayness
I'm more thinking of Victor being ace and Jayce if not bi then at least loving Victor as a brother who he had to help get out of the shit he got in
u r so correct chat, “an inseparable piece of everything i admire” / “in all timelines only you” / “all i want is my PARTNER back” / “you were never broken viktor, there is beauty in imperfections” / the forehead touch in zaun being as meaningful as a kiss / THE ARM RUB, GAAAAAA IM ON THE FLOOR 💔💔
I mean he is the main Mel and Jayce shipper 😂
18:07 "I don't know if they meant it to be sad"
my brother in christ, have they ever wanted anything NOT to be sad in this show? like ever?
Jayce exploring the horrific hexcore wasteland to the sound of Heimerdinger's sweet banjo tunes... sorry but I had to laugh 😭
Cant believe its over, what a beautiful show on all fronts from the writing, to the animation, to the soundtrack to the voice acting everyone who worked on this brought their absolute best
Vander and Silco are together as well. The hand on his armor moves to skin when Ekko brings up 'the incident' for emotional support. That and the look Vander gives him. In this reality they got their brothers in arm to enemies to lovers arc and that alone would make me stay there forever.
Fr! It’s so cute and annoying how some don’t see how they’re 100% lovers.👌🏻😫🖤
They're like brothers man wtf
@@n4ira.. did you see how in the video, he shipped them too… so saying they’re brothers when the video says it too is a moot point.
They’re not blood brothers anyway, so who cares.
@@sprumf Its weird its like shipping adoptive siblings.
@@saltyfrog3339 you're weird for getting your knickers twisted about it
It's likely Heimerdinger actually isn't dead! His species is Yordle which are more spirits than they are creatures. They don't age and they don't die. He likely just respawned at Bandle City and is doing just fine!
But the question is, did he respawn at the Bandle City of that universe? Or the one of his (our) universe? What happened to the Heimer of the AU? Did they not respawn at all, because the Arcane killed him/them? So many questions.
ekko never really hated jinx, thats why he couldn't kill her in season one. no matter what happens or what she did he will always see the girl he once loved so much in her eyes. also fun fact, the scene of ekko and powder dancing is in exactly 4fps because he can only travel back 4 seconds and its something he wants to remember forever.
I love that the alternate timeline is better for a few different reasons, not just one. Hextech never got made due to Jayce’s work causing Vi’s death, Shimmer isn’t ravaging the streets, and Silco forgave and made up with Vander, most likely due to the letter he wrote him in episode 5. I’m fairly certain these key changes are the reason they were able to make a peace treaty and independence for Zaun work so well
Sorry this video is so late, I was on holiday this week and this video went through copyright HELL!! But regardless, these last three episodes??? Ouch 😭💔
It’s alrr! Me and my friends are so grateful for your upload, we love your reactionsssss ❤️🙏
hope you had a fun holiday! thank you for this video :D we appreciate the effort!!!
No worries brother! Hope you had a good thanksgiving looking forward to this video
JINX IS ALIVEE, WATCH THE EXPLOSION U SEE HER PINK SUPERSPEED THING RIGHT BEFORE AND THE SIP AT THE END WAS HER LEAVING!!!!
Ship*
The predictions.. The gay celebration. The flopping on the bed 😂😂 the crying 😭 I cried so much too. I can say, the witch that killed ambessa with the black body and glowing eyes is le blanc from the game.! There’s so many little lore details you’ll get to see on the internet now. Jinx might be alive 👀 pink lightning (her ability)and Cait looking at the ducts that she “blew up” in.. I wish we could all have happy endings!!
Hey Niall! Three things for you:
1. Jinx is alive, you can look it up, there's three important proofs about this. You can actually see her glowing pink shimmer ray right before the explosion, when Cait is looking up the maps of hexgates, she looks at the conducts of ventilation, meanwhile she's holding the head of the monkey-bomb and then she smiles, which tells us that she believes that Jinx got out of there. And then, the first episode of season 1 ends with Powder saying "one day i'll fly one of those" while a zeppelin is flying above them, and the last scene of the show is a parallel zeppelin, which tells us she's in there, flying away of the city as she promised she would. Last but not least, the "THE END" is so Jinx's style.
2. You said the moment between Ekko and Powder dancing is sad to you, look up the lyrics of the song "Ma Meilleure Ennemie", it is actually so sad.
3. You also said "Ekko learned to love Jinx", he always loved her, if you check the videoclip of "Imagine Dragons - My enemy", you will see some little Ekko and Powder moments, they both loved each other. That's why when Ekko is reversing time to avoid Jinx blowing herself up, when he mentions that she will blow both of them, that time instead of pulling the bomb, she decides to fall first so he wouldn't die.
Sorry for the long comment lol
IVE BEEN REFRESHING RUclips FOR DAYS WAITING FOR YOUR REACT OMG
I’m glad you can finally rest easy 🫶🏼
Jinx is still alive:
- If you slow down the scene where jinx lets off the grenade in the hex core, there’s a pink flash that comes off her eyes when she uses her speed powers
- The airship in the end scene is the exact same ship that powder looked at in the first season and said she was gonna ride in one of those one day
- in the end scene before cait walks over to vi, she’s holding jinx’s monkey bomb head and looking at the map of the area that jinx “exploded” in, specifically the vents 👀 she also smiles when she looks at it but it could also be bc she heard vi humming
- the speech that silco gave her in the jail cell said that the way to end the cycle of violence is to walk away, which at first she tries to yk blow up, but when she realizes it’s not gonna actually fix anything, it seems that she ends up literally walking away and escaping through the vents, riding an airship to another place
- the very last few frames are “the end” written in jinx’s handwriting and scribbly style, just basically a wink that she’s still alive
- “sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind” 🥲
Also she’s not listed as dead on the fandom wiki so I’m choosing to believe she’s alive lol I don’t think the animators would put all of these details in otherwise
In the good universe, my guess is Jayce either also died in the explosion (he almost died the first time) or he didn’t die and he was forbidden by the Council from continuing on his Hextech quest and didn’t keep doing it after the death of Vi.
Or died by jumping instead, but yeah.
@ If he wanted to continue on with Hextech after Vi’s death, which I wrote away by saying he wouldn’t, but if he wanted, sure.
Ok but like I love that moment where they dance and the more you don’t talk the more you cry because the music and the dance break your heart knowing what it could’ve been… I know from experience 😭
I agree that this show is one of the best pieces of media to have ever been made. A show has never made me feel THIS inspired, distraught, hyped, and AHH just a LOT of emotions. Like, come ONNN this show genuinely knocks so much out of the park. I cannot stop talking about it with people I know!
"what could've been" is a concept that plagues every Arcane characters..... And Also me (as an Arcane watcher)
they did vi dirty (literally said they were more interested in other characters this season which explains why she’s such a passive side character now) and for this i will be forever salty
21:24 Heimerdinger is a Yordle, Yordles can’t die! He’ll be back don’t worry lol 😭😭😭
When I tell you I clicked INSTANTLY when I saw this video was out I LOVE ur reactions!
Niall’s channel is the first time I’ve seen someone look better than their bitmoji😭
14:52 bad knews bestie, Jayce does no exist in that parallel universe. Remeber how Viktor stopped Jayce from Jumping in S1 ... he wasn't thee to do it this time around
honestly, when no one was hurt, Jayce got almost exiled, now with a dead kid, he is probably in Stillwater
Some good news!! Heimerdinger didn't actually died bc yordles (his species) are multi-dimentional travellers and their souls are reborn at their home-dimention (sorry for the bad english)
Jinx is alive.
Right before the explosion, you can see a pink strike going out for the vents, that's Jinx dashing away. During this season, they focused a lot on how fast Jinx is and how she leaves a pink strike when she is dashing, so she escaped the explosion.
At the start of the show, in episode 1, Powder says this while there's a ship flying over them: "One day, I'm going to ride in one of those things!", and what is the last scene? A very similar shot with the ship going away to NOXUS! The ending being written in Jinx's style hints that she's on the ship.
Also, Silco told her: "In order to break the cycle, you have to walk away!", so she does.
I have no idea what to do now that this show is over, it quite literally took over my life. Imma edit this with any fun facts and reactions while I watch!
3:05 Personally I think it’s that Zaun became its own nation and at peace with Piltover…likely due to what we find out later.
6:36 One of my favorite things is that Ekko, who’s whole life has been war and struggle, went to a universe with peace. Meanwhile Jayce, who’s only ever really known peace thanks to living in Piltover, went to a universe of war and struggle. Nice detail!
9:49 There are theories that it likely also killed Jayce, considering how close he was to the explosion. That or he died by jumping to his own demise… 14:54 like I said, theories that he died on impact or suicide.
16:29 Detail you might have missed, Vander has Vi’s VI/Roman 6 tattoo on his hand!
21:25 DO NOT WORRY! Yordle’s can’t die, they just respawn in Bandle City… at least in LoL lore.
23:26 I personally did not think Mel could get any hotter and then they proved me wrong.
32:57 I personally love how that despite the fact Viktor’s no longer…well. Viktor. And doesn’t really have any emotions, he still tried (albeit forcefully) to get Jayce on his side.
35:25 I dunno how to explain but the Musician Going To War guy really got to me.
38:22 FUN FACT!!! Viktor *actually* died in the council room. There’s a frame back in episode 1 when Jayce is reviving him and we see Viktor’s skeleton-his spine is snapped. So. Yeah, he died.
53:10 Seeing Ambessa scared and in pain actually chilled me the first time I saw it.
54:39 Through the power of love-and Ekko. Lol.
59:41 However you view Jayce and Viktor as-romantic, platonic, brothers-you can NOT deny that they are soulmates. Intricately bound and unable to live without the other.
Time for my regularly scheduled Jinx is alive sermon. There are too many intentional hints in the direction that she survived and took this opportunity to run away and "break the cycle", because she knows after everything that happened it would be really difficult to actually go back to "normal". As for proof: Purple streak away from the explosion is her shimmer flash, Caitlyn seeing the escape tunnels in the blueprints, she has a fragment of the bomb in hand and gives a smirk so they investigated the explosion site for a body, Powder mentioned wanting to go on an airship and the final scene is an unexplained airship, and then flashing "The End" as Jinx's writing is the cherry on top.
All this to say it sucks for Ekko, because he lost basically everyone and everything. Even in the perfect scenario where Jinx told him of her plan to run away (which is what I will headcanon because they're in love) he still has to just deal with her being gone. After saving everything!!
Hopefully not for long, as one of the co-creators did say that he thinks Ekko and Jinx's relationship is worth exploring more in future projects.
The deciever is LeBlanc. The leader of the Black Rose in Noxxus. Jinx escaped in a purple flash...right as the explosion started.
The showrunner has said "We are far from done"
Arcane is done but stories from Runeterra are not.
still can't believe that Jayce and Viktor end felt more gay than actual lesbian sex 💀 like that was deeeeep love
It never ceases to surprise me how y'all always manage to invalidate wlw relationships. They had literal sex and that's still not gay enough apparently
@@weliveinadystopia665 and they are comparing to something that was actually confirmed by the creator to NOT be gay lmao, I can't, lesbians can't win
@@weliveinadystopia665you’re reading way too much into it, they’re making a joke, it’s not that deep
@@DannyPotato The joke is lame and unfunny.
@@weliveinadystopia665It never ceases to amaze me how someone always manages to make the least offensive thing in existence into an insult. Literally nobody invalidated wlw relationships, and people in wlw relationships say that kind of shit all the time.
Niall: *literally going through it this entire video*
Me: his curls are curling ✨
And noticing that Viktor never touches another person this season other than Jayce, and in the finale Viktor’s fingerprints are on Jayce’s forehead, like they’re permanently part of one another…
Just realised that Viktor is still playing with "senseless waste". He created his own time loop, experimented with different timelines because he couldn't imagine a world without Jayce and him in it. If he had never saved Jayce and his mom, never given him the rune in the first place, there would never have been hextech in the first place and we've seen that the world would have been better for it. But in that case Jayce would have died in the snow storm and Viktor couldn't bare that. So he did his experiments, likely dooming countless of timelines to a hextech hell, just to find the only one where he and Jayce could be together. His motives were always selfish.
I'm not from the LoL community and reading some of these comments got me curious about heimerdinger just respawning in another place all confused ahhaha
Its the lore! He’s from a specific species called Yordles and they just resurrect back to their main city! They’re one of the rare species that every region in the game has their own Yordle, which is pretty cool.
16:39 In the Arcane art book there are two images that says "Family" of the alternative universe and it's powder, Vander and silko 😭😭
NIAAAAALLL IVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR YOU TO DO THIS christ i am not ready to live through this again though
Get your feet up and enjoy 🫶🏼💗 x
Started watching your channel with the first Arcane binge video have been enjoying every one to come out since and wanted to say the way you edit is incredible and the way you express yourself is far more engaging and entertaining than most if not almost all other reaction channels keep it up 😁😁😁
Thank you so much! That’s so sweet of you to say 🫶🏼
fun fact about the dance scene: it’s animated 4 frames per second which is the limit of the Time Machine Ekko has :>
I CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH YOUR REACTIONS!! Cheers to the holidays 🥂
Viktor was so heartbroken by jayce rejecting his "glorious evolution" that he ditched his entire body
Your reaction to the vi and cait scene is SO REAL 😭😭😭😭😭😭
That AU is possible because of several things:
1. Silco read Vanders letter in the mine, resulting him not inventing Shimmer with Singed
2. No shimmer means Viktor eventually dies because of his illness
3. The blast at episode 1 that killed Vi either killed Jayce as well or he killed himself ( no body to switch to like Ekko and 'dinger had )
4. Vi's death probably made Silco and Vander work harder for better future for Zaun as they both failed Felicia's daughter.
6. Powder took remaining hexgems as it is something that killed her sister and she knows how dangerous that is. She is keeping that timeline safe.
When im telling you I was WAITING for you reacting Maddie being a traitor. Your reaction made me laugh so hard 😭😭
Heimerdinger is a yordle and yordles don't die unless of old age. They get transported to some kind of yordle village instead of death.
I completely understand where your coming from with the ending of Arcane season 2. I enjoyed watching your review this amazing show, you had me lol, which felt great to get out. I also wish they had gave us all more episode for this last season, like maybe 12 total episodes since they knew this would be the last arcane. I love this show and hope we all get a chance to see these characters again in the near future. I am super sad to see this all end, but I'm also very grateful for the show writers and creators of Arcane, they gave us this amazing experience and I will treasure it forever.
Yours are my favorite reactions that I've seen of this show, you're quick to pick up on things and you feel the all the emotions fully! It makes me happy to see someone love this show as much as I do
YAASS was waiting for your reaction! Needed to see the final act multiple times to wrap my mind around it all😭 BUT MY LAD!!!!!! Jinx is alive!! You see a split second of her pink shimmer self escape thru a vent right before the blast!! And she's in the blimp at the end❤️❤️❤️ First ep s1 she said "one day im gonna ride in one of those things"
i say as they drag me into the mental ward😭
everyone says it could've used another episode or three and yet I am 100% confident, had they done that, people would have still felt like it was "rushed" or "incomplete" bc this is not a finished story ON PURPOSE. On top of that, there's so much that it is implied and you simply have to deduce the same way you would in a good film
The way that about 60mins of footage was cut out where we got to see Ekko and Jinx become friends with each other again IS SO SAD 😭😭😭 Honestly, if they had made the last episode the longest, I wouldn't have thought of it as out of place - it's just a finale thing 😭
44:54
I literally screamed when I saw this the first time, I’ve never like audibly screamed out of instinct when watching or reading something, I have gasped of course but never screamed and my family got legitimately worried cause I never scream or yell, my mom had a whole ass panic attack, and quite frankly, I’m still in denial, he had so few lines and yet somehow became one of my absolute favorite characters.
I have so many questions about him, I haven’t been this interested and invested in a character that was basically a background character before in a long ass time.
"I've been able to accomplish wonderful things in this world." I choose to believe that Heimerdinger, now fully aware that his chronic inaction as a city Councellor in regards to issues in the Under City def contributed to the violent fallout in their original timeline, was an active and prominent part of building/maintaining the ideal version of the Under City in the diverging timeline, for the 3 years he was there.
girl i’ve been so depressed since this show ended, i need more ,, GIVE US OUR HAPPY ENDING 😭
This last act broke me when Jinx sacrificed herself... Cried like a baby and I don't normally cry during shows or movies.
16:00 As someone who never got a chance for a proper goodbye, i absolutely understand why you could get emotional here.
Ekko: "Okay everyone, let's get to battle positions."
Jinx: "Sit down and strike the most bomb-ass pose you've ever seen? Got it!"
Whatever else you could say about Jinx, no one can deny she does it with style and drama every second of the day.
I'm sure someone's told you, but the epilogue gives enough hints that she 1000% survives and maybe travelling to locations we'll be seeing in the followup series.
Just to think…Ambessa was probably so proud of Mel as she was dying. No matter what she did, she always wanted her children to be safe, now she knows for sure her little girl can take care of herself
EP7 was definately meant to be sad, the song we hear is "ma meilleure ennemie" it's essentially the guy singing, I we're absolutely terrible together, but I love you. They're telling eachother they should leave eachother. For as far as I know, the song isn't about Ekko and Powder, but more about Ekko and Jinx. It's in that scene that he really realizes he loves her. And HAS to go back to save her, but that's what I made of it and that perspective also isn't flawless (due to Ekko having very little contact and info on Jinx in S2.)
the way I was checking my subscriptions all week for this and you did NOT disappoint 💞💞 let’s go gays
I wish we saw more of jayce's survival scenes. He was going through his iron man arc and they just summarized it into a few minutes
NIALL JINX IS ALIVE
LIKE THERE ARE ACTUAL HINTS
HER TRAIL OF SHIMMER
THE AIR BALLOON LEAVING WHICH REFERENCES POWDER SAYING “IM GONNA RIDE THAT ONE DAY” IN SEASON 1
CAITLYN LOOKING AT THE AIR DUCKS
It’s not even a theory I’m pretty sure she’s actually just alive!!
In the Netflix RUclips series where the voice actors answer questions, they get asked if jinx is still alive and they kinda say ehhhh maybeeee 👀
SO SHES ALIVE‼️‼️
"Did your girl turn into an all powerfull witch?" Yes because we have the same girl :)))
This show destroyed me on so many levels. As a mentally ill person and suicide survivor I really needed a happy ending for Jinx (or at least a not horrible one)
37:00 They're gonna get the hexstrap in Vi red
“I did appreciate your warmth” is ABSOLUTE CRAZY work but let’s be honest we all cheered when she died
This show definitely needed one more season, you can feel the rush from the writers in the way they start killing off characters and straight up taking down stablished plotlines just to have their time-travel ending. Still one of the better shows produced recently.
im so glad i wasnt the only one that didnt really blame jayce 😭
Fr I swear ppl were being dumb on purpose, like he obviously saw something that made him do that. That attack wasn’t unprovoked.
Ugh, I loved this show, and I love watching my favourite commentators react to it. I'm so heartbroken that Jinx died. Her and Vi's lives were so tragic, and that she didn't make it in the end and that Vi lost her again hurts so much. I wonder if Echo would ever try to re-build the time machine, but that would cause an anomaly, so I don't think he would risk the world just for what he wants. I wish the creators had had more time to include slower moments to give viewers time to breathe and process, and I wish it was clear how much time had passed between arcs and within arcs.
Jayce and atleast def Cait died in the alternate universe that ekko went to aswell. Vi and Cait don't exist without eachother and if Cait died, then jayce would've too, hence why he never continued making hex tech- though even if he did survive, seeing his stuff kill a girl would've also kept him from making it. Which in the end, boosted zaun and piltover to be better.
Is Jayce actually dead? Cause I thought Jayce would’ve been arrested for the death of a child, meaning that he never got a chance to talk it out with the counsel or meet Viktor to make Hextech
@@ghostlyexe we don't know for sure but if he was ready to end himself because he couldn't continue his research, I'd assume witnessing his research killing someone would have made him even more suicidal. and without hextech, Viktor dies from his disease as well. Idk why Cait would have died tho? she can very well be alive in that universe
"Vi and Cait don't exist without each other" Thank you. like my heart wasn't already broken enough by this story 🥲
@valeriyav2149 Cait also dying is the most logical conclusion, since Pilltover and Zaun have managed to reconcile after that incident.
The Council wouldn't really care about one dead kid from the undercity, but if both Vi and Cait died (and it's poetic in a sense, cause they are mirror images, being the daughters of the cities' leaders)... it'd have been a great tragedy and a wake-up call for Pilltover.
Also, another reason people think Cait probably died in that universe: in the regular universe Cait was clumsy and accidentally dropped something from the box she was holding, which alerted the group and allowed them to block the door and start escaping. If in this universe she didn't drop anything she'd have been right by the door with Jayce, and Vi would also be closer to the explosion. So it's all a theory, but it makes complete sense.
AM I REALLY THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDNT REALIZE THE MAGE WAS VICTOR?!?!?!?!
NO BECAUSE I DIDNT REALIZE IT EITHER AND IT WAS DEFINITELY A SHOCK😭😭
A lot of people who know League initially thought it was a character named Ryze, so no you're not the only one 🙂
I go trough the freaking catharsis in the last act. I was crying soo hard, this series, this songs I feel stronger when I'm listening to it. Its literally building culture at this point.
hehehe there are so many signs that Jinx lived :D
before the explosion, there was a lil flash of pink (Possibly Jinx and her shimmer) into the vents. In Episode 1, Powder said "One day, I'm gonna fly one of those things" and it links to the blimp, and Jinx also said before she "died", "You know, I never seem to actually die" SO THINKKK
you know what.. even in the happy universe, jayce still managed to kill a child (vi).. this guy istg
For every moment I think about how hard things must have been for Jayce in that hellscape world he visited... I still feel like the pain he suffered pales in comparison to the pain Ekko would have to feel, seeing a perfect world and having to leave it to return to a world where he has no one left.
Fun fact: The song that plays during Jinx’s grand entrance in episode 9 is called Come Play by the kpop group Stray Kids. I definitely suggest their music if you liked that song :) ❤️
Because Viktor and Jayce got pulled into the acceleration rune, the same rune responsible for Ekko’s time travelling, it’s possible that they’re still alive!
I read recently that there are spin-offs currently in development (past just the conceptual phase), though Netflix is keeping it all pretty under wraps for the most part and nothing is really certain, but hopefully we'll get a new show set in the world within the next couple of years
Heard someone make an observation that Heimerdinger represents the last, Ekko represents the present and Jayce represents the future when they get sent to different dimensions. And owls like on Elmo’s mask are the only birds that can see the color blue 😩🥺 Arcane is best show I have ever watched in my life
was literally waiting for this so i have something entertaining to watch while i work out hehe
there's a theory that says that there's a chance of jinx being alive, plus the creators answer to "is jinx dead?" that they didn't know. they will explore other regions in runeterra and they also said that maybe in a future they wanted to get back to zaun to explore it more deeply, so... fingers crossed to see jinx again and other characters from arcane like cait, vi or ekko in a future series!! :)
This show was absolutely amazing and I’m glad I got to watch it alone and with you!
I need you to know, because of you always calling Heimerdinger "Himplepopper", when the time loop scene played and Ekko realised the limit was 4 seconds, the ONLY thought in my head was Himplepopper POPPED! 🤣🤣
I hope you didnt miss the 6 eyed raven pecking at the hammer at the end
Watched this with my fiancée and her reaction and the way her eyes got so wide 😂😂😂😂 she straight up was like “babe…we need to recreate this” 😍😍😍😍 hate the distanceeeee cuz I bet if I was there during this scene…can’t and vi wouldn’t be the only ones having fun 😂😂😂
I love this series for so many reasons but one of the biggest ones is that I'm in my late 20s and grew up in a high-control religion, and uh... This is one of those shows that will let you know if you're actually not totally straight like you were raised to believe 🤣
I CALLED IT!!! Maddie and Ambessa working together!!!!
And I feel so vindicated now that it was also confirmed by the lead writer!!! Maddie was a plant all along!!
- Maddie was the first to beat her chest
- Pulled from the car-thing during the memorial attack by huge Shimmer suit dude and NOT killed
- Maddie was in bed (god that still makes me sick) trying to get Cait to see Ambessa is trying to “protect them”
- Maddie was eaves dropping at the door when Cate & Vi had their argument about Powder
- Maddie was carrying the bomb…and also sabotaged it
- Maddie showed ZERO remorse or hesitation in pulling the trigger
Then there is what Ambessa told Vi in Episode 6...."your absence provided a vacuum I was able to fill." She could have been meaning herself...but it is 100% confirmed now that she meant Maddie.
And yes….the “I did appreciate your warmth”…not “I loved you, how could you betray me like this”, not “I will miss you”….simply she APPRECIATED it!! Someone who was simply a jilted lover would NOT just pull the trigger like she did, and in the single black and white image, you see her SMILING!!!
Cait wasn’t anything to Maddie…she was a job.
26:03 NOT THE OLI LONDON JUMPSCARE.. I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE FROM THIS MAN 😭😭😭😭
Ahhh you have had my favorite reaction(s) out of everyone I’ve watched-to both seasons! I was getting so impatient waiting for your act 3 vid to come out because you’ve very quickly become my favorite RUclipsr as well! Hilarious but thoughtful commentary, brilliant editing, thank you so so much for watching Arcane!
you're so real for crying at the ekko and powder scene
