Yes, the fact that you picked up that Silco identifies with Powder because they were abandoned by siblings is amazing. Most people just assume he wants to use her because he's the bad guy, but his thought process in that scene is much deeper than the reactors I've seen so far think.
Yea I remember when this first came out so many ppl misinterpreted their relationship and some ppl even tried to say it was sexual just bc she sat in his lap to interrogate him. I never understood that
@@oshwaganda People are toxic. That’s good writing. People are also responsible for what they romanticize. If someone is dumb enough to look at Joker and Harley or Silco and Jinx (especially weird because that’s a father and a daughter) as a paradigm for romance, that’s their problem not Arcane’s.
Their situations aren’t remotely similar beyond the coincidental surface level appearance. He identifies with her because he projects and super imposes his own issues onto his victim.
Fun fact: Imagine dragons were fans of league of legends since the early years of the game. Their song “Warriors” was actually made back in 2014 for one of the cinematics that riot games releases to promote their league of legends esport tournament “Worlds”
I love that you get where Vi is coming from. You ask your sister to stay home, and because she doesn't, you lose most of your family. Of course, she would lash out! But she wasn't going to abandon Powder and immediately regret what she did and said to her. She just needed time and space to think after everything that just happened. They are both kids at the day, but people villianized Vi for that scene
istg the only reason people haven’t seen it is just because it’s animation. Everytime an animated mature story gets buried with everything else. Not to say it wasn’t popular but i think it’s some of the best writing and characters since breaking bad
@@jinxysaberk Ngl I was hesitant at first. Before Arcane, I wasn't interested in animated shows at all. Arcane changed my perspective, and since then I've found so many great adult animated series, like The Legend of Vox Machina, Blue Eye Samurai, Castlevania, Blood of Zeus, etc. It's crazy
Ngl Vander pushing the button under his desk to warn the kids about the enforcers and my guy says "call the police" like they arent talking to the police is hilarious ahahaha
In Mylo's defense, the Piltover apartment was a penthouse. I get locking your balcony if you live on the first, maybe second floor but 6-8 stories up? It's also located in the academy district so crime isn't really a thing there.
Ironically, it turned out to be a really good question to ask. Who locks a door so high up on the balcony? Someone who has something they really want to hide.
@@rang4life1 if you just know a little bit about the game, you'd know that jinx is vis sister and therefore power has to become jinx plus will get guns, not even a need to watch it before for that information. Ah, aaand wait, they made powder shoot that soft gun as a kid like it was nothing - no way it turns out like that?! /s
Another fun fact! Hailee Steinfeld also played Vi's voice, and she was nominated for an Oscar at age 11 for best supporting actress, and won an academy award that year too alongside a couple of other critics awards. Girl had talent, even as an actress.
Silco and Powders relationship started from a trauma bond and im so happy you guys recognized that. I think alot of people assume Silco only does this bc he wants to use her (which i understand) but i dont share that opinion. I genuinely think Silco saw himself in her.
I think with Powder's break down and eventual going into Silco's arms. She was an orphan and abandoned in a way once, obviously not by her parents choice... And now again by Vi... Easy to go into someone's arms
She wasn't abandoned by vi. vi just wanted to calm down because she realized she was hurting powder. You can't blame her for being upset. She was a kid too. And she tried to get back to her but Marcus kidnapped her. You were also gaslighted by silco into thinking that vander betraying him and their cause is the same as vi trying to calm down to avoid further hurting powder
@@alvinsmith3894 No one was gaslit, Just FOR POWDER perspective her sister abandon her And it was only reaffirmed by what Vi said, It's not Vi's fault, but still, it makes 100% sense from her perspective. And Silco didn't manipulate Powder, he genuinely thought Vi had abandoned her just as from his perspective Vander had betrayed him.
as a person who has never played LOL and don't know a single thing about it, Arcane is such a masterpiece and proves how you can do great things with characters in order to get them loved by those who didn't know them and still make them even cooler to the ones who already liked them
I remember the first time watching this show I lost my mind when Viktor said his name. He's one of my favorite characters in the game. I love how this show can be watched, understood and enjoyed by anyone but there are still a lot of nods to the game that the players will always get and love.
Just to let you know for future uploads, you don't have to mute/muffle the music. Other than the main theme song Enemy (which is owned by Imagine Dragons) the rest of the music is produced by Riot they are very content creator-friendly by allowing use of their products like music. You only have to edit the show to avoid issues with Netflix, but if there is music playing you can let it play. The music plays a major part of certain scenes coming up in future episodes and it's nice to hear it in reactions. And a fun fact, Powder's voice actress was 11-12 years old at the time of recording. She did such an incredible job! 🤯
Season 1 was amazing and season 2 is setting up to be even more amazing! Love that you are reacting to this because I have played the game for over 10 years now and love that they have set the standard for what video game adaptations in media can be. This is a perfect example of how it can enhance our enjoyment of fantasy worlds!
This series is... on another level, honestly. And, yes... they don't hold back with the tragedy of it all. One thing that it feels like a lot of people underestimate is where Vander is challenging Silco on why he is doing this, asking if it is for pride. Silco's response of "for respect!" resonates with me... on a very personal level. Even when this show came out, within my own household with my family... I was being starved of respect. What people who have never been through that don't realize is how... essential to life it is. Heck, it literally has a place on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Being denied respect can be as... well, terrifying as being drowned. Don't get me wrong. What Silco does as a result is still very wrong. But from my own lived experience... I know how he got to that kind of... frantic determination to do what he had to in order to survive. Silco and everything that he stands for is the monster that the council created.
I didn't even really want to watch this show, but as a long time league player I couldn't say no to free in-game rewards from watching the premier on twitch. I didn't expect to spend my evening crying after watching act 1 like that LOL
For your list of names :) Vi (Violet) = pink haired girl Powder = blue haired sister to Vi Claggor = large guy with the goggles Mylo = Vegeta lookin ass Vander = surrogate father to Vi/Powder/Mylo/Claggor and sort of leader of the Undercity Jayce = scientist who saw magic as a kid and is trying to recreate it Viktor = scientist who believes in Jayce's research Heimerdinger = small lil guy with the mustache, councilor/scientist, 307 years old Caitlyn Kiramman (last name important as it's mentioned a few times) = blue haired girl that was with Jayce before the explosion, said she's kind of a misfit as well when she was waiting outside in the rain Deckard = kid that drank the purple shiz Silco = guy with the effed up eye Ekko (Little Man) = white haired African American kid Marcus = A'hole enforcer who abducted Vi near the end, worked with Silco to capture the four kids and got his boss killed Grayson = Marcus' boss, has a deal with Vander, dies sadly Mel Medarda = African American woman on the council that believes in Jayce's research and wants him to complete it
@@Petokaske Why "African" or "American". These people are on a planet called "Runeterra". There is no "Africa and no "America" on that world. It's not related to Earth.

@@CuddleCakez Well, Noxian by birth, but a denizen of Piltover. Sharima?? Ambessa's bio on the website doesn't claim any Shariman heritage, so... Mel probably doesn't have any either seeing as show that's her daughter.

No reasonable person would take it as an insult to their intelligence if it was provided for them. It really is just a harmless helpful comment.
Please continue this! This series is extremely well written, the character depth is unbelievably well done. The animation, the soundtrack, everything is top notch. Season 2 is already amazing as well 👌👌👌
i still remember watching the end of episode 3, my eyes staring, mouth agape, i was speechless and dont think ill ever forget that experience, powder's crying voice is haunting
Episode 3 is just fucking incredible! I think part of the reason it hits so hard is because you go into it with the feeling that something is going to go wrong - and then it does, but its SO much worse than you even imagined. So you were basically right, but good god you wish you weren't.
I first watched this in 2021 and have watched it multiple times since... this episode still breaks me!!! I full on ugly cry every time. This show is a masterpiece and I can't wait to go on this journey once again but this time with you guys.
Has to be the best animated show I've ever seen. I don't care how many times I watch it, certain episodes like e.3 always get me emotional. The writing is that good.
Omg soooo excited that you guys are doing arcane!!! just in time for season 2 too ahhh y'all are so lucky! I'm super excited to watch this video and thus doing a season recap before this weekend, however I have a midterm tomorrow :( so I'll be tuning in after, wish me luck!
SO...SOOOO HYPED that you guys are watching this! As you continue watching this series, try to keep the concept of definitive good and evil characters out of the mix, if possible. Obviously, I'm not going to spoil anything; the writing and storytelling this show has is top tier and everything ends up getting explained at some point along the way. But the character development and exposition is where this series shines...for me, anyways. There are seemingly "good" characters who have done or will do bad things throughout the show and there are "evil' characters who, despite their methods sometimes, are justified in their actions. They're very humanized and relatable in that way which is what makes this series one of, if not the best show I've ever seen.
2:21 if it makes you feel better about the speedy adoption process… Spoilers but Silco, Vander and Powder/Violet’s Mom were all friends so they’re both basically unofficial uncles turned adoptive fathers
@@BRIDGECO1 I admit, he’s grown on me too from the years… I knew his death would leave a power vacuum but GOD! Stinky characters like Singed make me realize that Silco smelled bad in a tolerable way like gasoline or smoke whereas Singed is straight rotting garbage left out in the sun 💀 Jayce hating is a hobby sport, Singed hate is a professional lifestyle round here
Always love finding people discovering Arcane! Hope you all enjoy the ride! As for the game it’s based on, League, don’t worry about it - there’s not really story to speak of you’d be missing, and the game itself is... The company makes a lot of good stuff, so def check out other games they did, or the various musical groups they’ve developed if you have a good time with the show!
i dont know if they ever actually mention it by name in the show but the shimmer development in zaun in league lore is called "chemtech" which is developed opposite to pilltovers hextech
This is perfect timing because as much as I still want to rewatch this show again before season two, I just want to be able to jump into the new season immediately lmao, so thank you. 🙏🏾
It is confusing that they call it the underground, with how they first show it from an elevator. The better name is undercity, even though it is above ground it is the lower city across the river, where all the industry for the rich upper city happens, which is why the air and water is bad down there. Also that was just one explosion in episode 3 shown from 5 angles, with the explosion as reference for each viewpoint
I thought i watched u react to that. I kinda digged everyone reacting to it cuz.. i can't get enough of that show. Hope u love it, and dear god i love ur commentary so i can't wait to see ur reaction ahah (ur costumes were awesome btw, hella cute and omg the cracks on Bridget make up, stunning)
okay done. So to add to that. I would recommend checking (in reaction or ur own time) the music video of Imagine Dragons - Enemy after u're done with the show. It fills the story a little more. But spoilery if u're not done with the show. Now, ofc i wanna see u react to the rest of it. BUT, don't u wanna jump into the rabbit hole of League of Legends and / or Riot as a whole ?! Cuz u got reaaaaally good cinematic videos that are stunning, with a lot of different styles. But also really good story telling for such short "movie". On the top of my head, "The call", "Still here", "Awaken", "Warrior" are great music videos with a little story telling, but League of Legends player know who is who and wtf is happening, the rest of us are here for the pretty images and banger music. Then u got all the funny band music (it's a "if the playable characters were in a music group, or a timeline where they are, i don't remember) ones : Kda, True Damage, etc. Then there's "Annie" and "The curse of the sad mummy".. I don't wanna talk about it too much, go in blind :D I don't play lol, and know some lore cuz i watched their videos and listen to a guy explaning them. But i would almost try the game cuz of them. But if u get into video games cinematics / musics, i would recommend Valorant cinematics (Riot too) and Warframe (from Digital Extreme). They both have banger ones.
This show is fucking amazing. The art style shown in the trailer made me want to check it out and Holy Shit! It's better than any animated show or movie I've ever seen.
First-time viewer, I'm sure you've carved out an amazing and dedicated fanbase, but for the man, don't take this personally: It would be a more enjoyable viewing experience if you didn't try to narrate everything that happens. It's better to just let the viewer WATCH your reaction sometimes than to tell the viewer EVERYTHING that you're thinking or that is happening. It's fine to share opinions and talk sometimes, but narrating everything feels kind of like you're babying the audience and are talking just to talk. Obviously you didn't ask for advice on your reactions, and you would be warranted in ignoring my comment if you want to, but I do think it would make the video much more enjoyable. Besides that, the reaction is good, and I'm glad you're watching Arcane.
But understandable given what we know about Vi. For all practical purposes, Vi was put into a parental position as Powder's older sister and the only one in her life that never left her. Vi, herself, is still just a kid. She just lost her family and her sister is the one responsible, Vander incidentally, but responsible nonetheless. When emotionally overwhelmed, Vi lashes out with her fists. In this moment, Vi is dealing both with immense grief and guilt as two of the last things Vander said to her was "Protect the family" and "Take care of Powder." Before Powder meets up with Vi as she's laying over Vander's corpse, Vi may very well have come to believe that Powder was also dead. When she saw the monkey bomb head after the explosion, she would more likely be under the impression that Silco was trying to blast his way through the cannery door, Powder disobeyed Vi and followed them to the cannery and was subsequently caught in the explosion. I don't think the expression on Vi's face is that of realization but of shock and horror that Powder was there and is now dead. She feared this would happen if Powder had gone with them.
55:57 I know it's an easy thing to mistake, but there weren't multiple explosions from the monkey bomb. It was just showing it from different perspectives. I made that same mistake the first time I watched it as well.
So glad you guys are watching this.. by the way there is an Imagine Dragons companion music video for this show.. watch it when you are done...adds to the story

Their situations aren’t remotely similar beyond the coincidental surface level appearance. He identifies with her because he projects and super imposes his own issues onto his victim.

V for Vendetta, The Dark Knight, Peaky Blinders, Warrior, Daredevil S2 and Arcane... Some of the shows with remarkable writing 💎
I've been waiting so long for you two to react to Arcane. It easily became one of my favorite shows of all time. Enjoy the ride - it's incredible.
i love arcane so much the wait has been so nerve wracking but ohmy GOD if ever a show will stand the test of time

yaaaaay you pay attention to silco with your brains and not just your eyes and ears, is very refreshing
Needed a refresher on Arcane as Season 2 is just around the corner. And you guys are delivering...
The show is next level.
Has to be the best animated show I've ever seen. I don't care how many times I watch it, certain episodes like e.3 always get me emotional. The writing is that good.
fav creators & fav show - what more could a gal ask for
Viktor is voiced by Viserys Targaryen of GOT
Omg soooo excited that you guys are doing arcane!!! just in time for season 2 too ahhh y'all are so lucky! I'm super excited to watch this video and thus doing a season recap before this weekend, however I have a midterm tomorrow :( so I'll be tuning in after, wish me luck!
SO...SOOOO HYPED that you guys are watching this! As you continue watching this series, try to keep the concept of definitive good and evil characters out of the mix, if possible. Obviously, I'm not going to spoil anything; the writing and storytelling this show has is top tier and everything ends up getting explained at some point along the way. But the character development and exposition is where this series shines...for me, anyways. There are seemingly "good" characters who have done or will do bad things throughout the show and there are "evil' characters who, despite their methods sometimes, are justified in their actions. They're very humanized and relatable in that way which is what makes this series one of, if not the best show I've ever seen.
2:21 if it makes you feel better about the speedy adoption process…
Spoilers but Silco, Vander and Powder/Violet’s Mom were all friends so they’re both basically unofficial uncles turned adoptive fathers
@@healgoth we’re all caught up now. If you have only seen this video beware of Silco hate for awhile 💀😂
@@BRIDGECO1 I admit, he’s grown on me too from the years… I knew his death would leave a power vacuum but GOD! Stinky characters like Singed make me realize that Silco smelled bad in a tolerable way like gasoline or smoke whereas Singed is straight rotting garbage left out in the sun 💀 Jayce hating is a hobby sport, Singed hate is a professional lifestyle round here
Losing Vander was definitely a Ned Stark moment for me. The great thing now though, the show just gets better.
will indeed be stress watching this today instead of other coverage, thank y'all for this
I just now realized the significance of Vi's favorite toy that was taken from her and she never got back...
Lol i literally have the credits rolling of episode 3 because I'm catching up before season 2 and I check my phone and see the noti for this video 😂
It just occurred to me that Powder never blamed Silco for what happened because she blamed herself just as much.
Always love finding people discovering Arcane! Hope you all enjoy the ride!
As for the game it’s based on, League, don’t worry about it - there’s not really story to speak of you’d be missing, and the game itself is... The company makes a lot of good stuff, so def check out other games they did, or the various musical groups they’ve developed if you have a good time with the show!
cool little easter egg but the person who voices viktor is the person who played viserys in GoT!! P cool i think but you're gonna love this series
So happy to see you guys reacting to another one of my favorite shows.
i dont know if they ever actually mention it by name in the show but the shimmer development in zaun in league lore is called "chemtech" which is developed opposite to pilltovers hextech
I like how you noticed that Powder got the plush bunny! Most people miss out on that!
The hype I have for you two to watch this is Sooo High! Can't wait to watch my RUclips feed to see updates on the next episodes 😆
This is perfect timing because as much as I still want to rewatch this show again before season two, I just want to be able to jump into the new season immediately lmao, so thank you. 🙏🏾
Now u have to watch GHOSTLAND
Yes, I absolutely want to see the rest of the series with you guys. Can't wait for the next video!
It is confusing that they call it the underground, with how they first show it from an elevator. The better name is undercity, even though it is above ground it is the lower city across the river, where all the industry for the rich upper city happens, which is why the air and water is bad down there. Also that was just one explosion in episode 3 shown from 5 angles, with the explosion as reference for each viewpoint
my god you wont have to wait for season 2! i really envy you, though it was fun to wait, make theories, etc
Every soundtrack of Arcane are non copyrighted (except Imagine Dragons' track titled "Enemy")
Not the case anymore since Netflix can claim them now.
The VA for Powder was around *eleven years old* when she put on that performance in episode 3.
Bridget - "Yeah, put a blue ball in there, right?"
Cody - "Then throw it, it'll explode."
Me - YOU HAVE NO IDEA. 😅🙈
Welcome to Arcane 💜
My god this can’t actually be happening. You’re your blessing us omgg I just woke up and I’ve never been so happy to wake up.
The music is amazing and seeing the artists for s2 I am HYPED
Welcome to the party.. Was completely clueless about the game, but this show blew my socks off.
great reaction, this show is a masterpiece, always find new things with each re-watch.
I thought i watched u react to that. I kinda digged everyone reacting to it cuz.. i can't get enough of that show.
Hope u love it, and dear god i love ur commentary so i can't wait to see ur reaction ahah
(ur costumes were awesome btw, hella cute and omg the cracks on Bridget make up, stunning)
okay done.
So to add to that. I would recommend checking (in reaction or ur own time) the music video of Imagine Dragons - Enemy after u're done with the show. It fills the story a little more. But spoilery if u're not done with the show.
Now, ofc i wanna see u react to the rest of it. BUT, don't u wanna jump into the rabbit hole of League of Legends and / or Riot as a whole ?! Cuz u got reaaaaally good cinematic videos that are stunning, with a lot of different styles. But also really good story telling for such short "movie".
On the top of my head, "The call", "Still here", "Awaken", "Warrior" are great music videos with a little story telling, but League of Legends player know who is who and wtf is happening, the rest of us are here for the pretty images and banger music.
Then u got all the funny band music (it's a "if the playable characters were in a music group, or a timeline where they are, i don't remember) ones : Kda, True Damage, etc.
Then there's "Annie" and "The curse of the sad mummy".. I don't wanna talk about it too much, go in blind :D
I don't play lol, and know some lore cuz i watched their videos and listen to a guy explaning them. But i would almost try the game cuz of them.
But if u get into video games cinematics / musics, i would recommend Valorant cinematics (Riot too) and Warframe (from Digital Extreme). They both have banger ones.
This show is fucking amazing. The art style shown in the trailer made me want to check it out and Holy Shit! It's better than any animated show or movie I've ever seen.
"you're a stay at home son now" made me laugh out loud. Take my subscription.
Im hoping i can watch all your guys reaction before the next season comes out lol im so excited
This is arguably the best animated show to come out of Netflix (tied with Blue Eye Samurai imo) and season 2 is about to be epic!
Blue Samurai is perfect
First-time viewer, I'm sure you've carved out an amazing and dedicated fanbase, but for the man, don't take this personally: It would be a more enjoyable viewing experience if you didn't try to narrate everything that happens. It's better to just let the viewer WATCH your reaction sometimes than to tell the viewer EVERYTHING that you're thinking or that is happening. It's fine to share opinions and talk sometimes, but narrating everything feels kind of like you're babying the audience and are talking just to talk. Obviously you didn't ask for advice on your reactions, and you would be warranted in ignoring my comment if you want to, but I do think it would make the video much more enjoyable. Besides that, the reaction is good, and I'm glad you're watching Arcane.
46:35
Vander: "it's not the way, can't you see that?"
Cody:"No, cause he only has one eye" LMAO I CAN'T😭
Welcome to the club🎉. So happy that you guys are reacting to Arcane ❤❤
Watched this while eating dinner and perfectly got to THAT scene just after finishing so it was like "Yes, Dessert 😋" LOL
Note, VI hitting Powder was crazy, calling VI "Mom" definately broke me even more. Season 2 releasing in 2 days, I'm so hyped for it.
But understandable given what we know about Vi. For all practical purposes, Vi was put into a parental position as Powder's older sister and the only one in her life that never left her. Vi, herself, is still just a kid. She just lost her family and her sister is the one responsible, Vander incidentally, but responsible nonetheless. When emotionally overwhelmed, Vi lashes out with her fists. In this moment, Vi is dealing both with immense grief and guilt as two of the last things Vander said to her was "Protect the family" and "Take care of Powder."
Before Powder meets up with Vi as she's laying over Vander's corpse, Vi may very well have come to believe that Powder was also dead. When she saw the monkey bomb head after the explosion, she would more likely be under the impression that Silco was trying to blast his way through the cannery door, Powder disobeyed Vi and followed them to the cannery and was subsequently caught in the explosion. I don't think the expression on Vi's face is that of realization but of shock and horror that Powder was there and is now dead. She feared this would happen if Powder had gone with them.
55:57 I know it's an easy thing to mistake, but there weren't multiple explosions from the monkey bomb. It was just showing it from different perspectives. I made that same mistake the first time I watched it as well.
So glad you guys are watching this.. by the way there is an Imagine
Dragons companion music video for this show.. watch it when you are done...adds to the story
SEASON 2 COMES SOON AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This show is so good! Glad you're reacting to it. Thank you!
This show is amazing, so hyped to see you guys enjoying it.
The first 3 parts could be a movie on their own
The show is a trilogy of trilogies so watching them in 3 episode chunks is perfect. Also, the whole series is as solid as the first 3 eps ♥️🤟😎♥️
Omg i’m so happy you guys are checking out this masterpiece!
Finally getting to this incredible show.
