      They are making both live action and animation, and I bet they'll make a movie with fortiche this time around, cause arcane was an awful amount of work for many years and probably they'd choose something "easier". I just hope it goes to theaters instead of netflix.

    When Jayce said "What have we done.", it's like you can hear the fear and horror when the realization struck in. That montage with the wild core coupled by chanting is both beautiful and haunting. Mixed with the fights happening in the vents, the hex cores to the gauntlets and rifle going wild and erratic in resonance to the corruption, pure visual storytelling you'd expect from Arcane.

      That doesn't sound like Jayce at all, though. Notice how when Jayce smashes the Hex ball it turns into a butterfly. A butterfly effect! I think that sequence has something to do with time travel or alternate reality because that voice line sounds so off

      @ChIMeRaTeX Месяц назад +71

      To me it doesn't sound like Jayce tho. He also doesn't talk in that moment, so it would need to be some kind of internal thought, something the show doesn't really do at all.
      I think the voice sounds kind of similar to how the distortion in Viktors voice sounds, so I think the voice has another origin, maybe it's even directly linked to Viktor somehow.

      I feel so bad for Jayce. These three episodes alone have seen pretty much every facet of his dreams and hopes dismantled. Using hextech for good and not harm: gone. Using it to better the world: it's possibly destabilizing everything. Saving his best friend: Viktor doesn't even want to speak with him anymore.

    I will always remember that sequence as I draw my last breath. Pure art. And when you think it's over - in complete silence - the song resumes and the fight just ramps up to a higher climax.

    What I love about these lyrics is that they’re very much about Jayce realizing the horrors that his and Viktor’s inventions have inadvertedly created. They messed with things that shouldn’t have been messed with (much like Heimerdinger warned them about). They sound like Jayce talking to Viktor to me. What strikes me, however, is that the lyrics appear to he referring to what Viktor is doing as the Machine Herald, which at the time Jayce doesn’t yet know he’s doing. Combining this song with The Line, which is Viktor talking to Jayce, makes it all the more emotional.

    Did you even realize that not only this song could be understood from the perspective of the arcane?
    It also feels eerily relevant to our current global situation. It reflects humanity's dangerous pursuit of power-through advanced technology, weapons, or control-without fully understanding the consequences. Lines like "You summon storms, you play with nature, now watch it hurt you" mirror how nations push boundaries in nuclear weapons, AI, and even environmental exploitation, often leading to instability.
    The call to "lay down your weapons" is a powerful plea for diplomacy and cooperation, reminding us that unchecked ambition can turn everything to ashes and blood. It's a stark warning for our times.

    You could say this song is about a battle between sisters but really it’s about Jayce. “You summon storms and play with nature” that’s Jayce throughout the course of the series to now. He’s played with nature, experimented with things that he doesn’t fully understand, and now he sees what has come of it. Him researching Hex-Tech lead to him making the Hex-crystals, which lead to Powder finding them and becoming Jinx. Which is why there is so much focus on the transitions between Jayce’s terror and the sisters fighting. None of this might not be happening if he hadn’t researched Hex-Tech and “played with nature”. You could also say this song is about him and Viktor, hence Jayce saying “What have we done.” Great song, you could look at it in many different ways.

    My interpretation of the song is very simple: The one singing the song is Arcane himself. He is warning them that if they continue using their strength to make hextech and weaponry, everything will go to shit. That's why the weapons glitch and because of Jayce he realizes his mistake.

    • @void-creature
      @void-creature 29 дней назад +6

      @lunasam9 to elaborate on my point:
      The very first thing we see in the whole show is through Powder's eyes, witnessing an enforcer executes a man lying on the ground. We know this is through Powder's eyes because the film briefly flashes with Jinx's scribbles, turning the enforcer's facemask into a grinning monster face. This shows us 1. that even way back then, "Jinx" was already a part of her, a trauma response to cope with the violence Piltover inflicted on them and 2. That for all the monsters her and Vi made up together, the monster she was afraid of most was real, and wearing a breathing mask and enforcer uniform.
      Which is why it's so heartbreaking to see how years later, when Jinx spots her sister through the toxic gas, wearing a breathing mask and enforcer uniform, the exact same monster scribbles pass over Vi's masked face, showing us that in the end, Jinx is still the same little girl, scared of monsters. Only now, her sister is no longer there to protect her, worse, her sister is one of them. And now, that little girl has the means to fight back, her contraptions finally working...
      Jinx didn't kill Powder, she IS powder, just how Vi is still Vi, yet the world around them has changed them both so much that neither is able to recognise the other anymore, neither is able to see that, while this change can never be undone, it wouldn't be impossible to move forward and grow together again, each clinging to the memory of who the other _used_ to be, so convinced that that version of them is "dead".
      And so they fight, a fight that is, like every tragedy in Arcane, somehow both avoidable AND inevitable
