MT I’m growing to love your breakdowns and sense of humor more and more - this one was especially insightful and had me chuckling out loud PS I’d take a universe with Ella Purnell over one with Hailey every time
Should have mentioned that at 21:03 her glance at Echo's mystery tech convinced her to deviate from her suicide. The monkeys reminded her of her mother. There seems to be a non-verbal communication and symbolism with monkeys in it.
@ this > right before she starts to pickup that ekko is somehow messing with time as he is inexplicably starting to bleed. in the moment she sees the monkeys, she realizes it must have been her somehow that built the device, meaning he was talking about her
The monkeys being 'normal' n not glitched also represents how since Vi dies, the mission to retrieve Vander never happens so she never uses the cymbal-banging monkey toy to power the Hextech crystal. That was her breaking moment bc of the guilt she faced ALONE and Silco got his hands on her. The birth Of jinx. But in this universe everyone mourned Vi's death together, she still has a doll of Vi but uses it as a healthy coping mechanism. Its so sad to see what could've been if she was given the proper support.
Just a funfact: Kintsugi is the japanese art to repair broken ceramics. It should show the beauty of the imperfect. And i think thats what they wanted to show here too - piltover as a luxury city broke to get fixed and be more beautiful than before. (Hard to describe what i mean, i hope you get the point, english is not my first language)
You can see it in the desk of the main office where the rulers of piltover gather where Jayce and Mel fight one of Victors robots. The whole table is repaired with golden trim like kintsugi its great
Arcane was one of the best shows that I have experienced in years. I'm sad to see it end. Hopefully further related stories in this world will prove to be as good. That's a tall order though.
Should have mentioned that Jinx faking her death is similar to The Dark Knight Rises where Batman faked his death before the explosion, also her escaping from a fall into a ventillation shaft is similar to Luke Skywalker falling and escaping as well. Jinx seeing an aspirtiion of Silco in a jail cell is also similar to Bruce Wayne also seeing his mentor Ras Al Ghul in the Dark Knight Rises.
You have to remember, the hexgate is basically Arcane's version of airport. Just watch the beginning of S1 E4, and you'll see all those zeppelin ships gathering towards the hexgate. And right below air ducts and cooling system, I believe the bigger tunnel is the gate for the zeppelin ships. Not only she escaped the explosion, she was able to get one of the zeppelin ships immediately. Only to make the theory even more concrete.
Viktor’s plan is a lot like the human instrumentality project as well. And I cannot believe mother fucking Singed was the only one who got his happy ending. Fucking Singed.. god damn it rito. A masterpiece though.
@justcallmewhat Singe works in the shadows. Never boasts, only focused on his personal mission. Cait was the first to even suspect him of being the shimmer creator. We didn't even know his real name until she put it together.
Jinx faking her death parallels Viktor's goal of eliminating humanity's imperfection, as Jinx sees herself as an "imperfection" in Vi's life, so she eliminated herself from Vi's life. But we see in Vi's epilogue that the Jinx's imperfections go hand in hand with the beauty of their relationship, so eliminating Jinx just leaves Vi in solitude, similar to how Viktor is left in solitude after purging all the imperfection in humanity.
You're onto something. i have to say i was disappointed by the finale cause i wanted to see how vi moved on from losing jinx. like yeah she hummed the same song powder sang in the very first ep, but i wanted to see more.
@@chirpofthebudgie Is like they rushed a lot of stuff, and let some other unfinished. I mean, you gotta have some cliffhangers to set up the next show, yes, but this final act left a lot of things unfinished, or solved like in the blink of an eye. Some more dramatic dialogue into the Vi/Jinx/Cait situation could have been better, especially with the spicy scene, some light into what happened with Jayce, and so on. I mean, there were good things all around, but most of the biuld up was off-putting to me, and somehow it was a letdown...
@@AndresSztaba I cried more over the ekko/powder episode then the finale where Jinx “dies.” Not cause I was sure jinx survived, but because it just felt so sudden. Esp with how it didn’t show Vi processing her death. I agree that cliffhangers are expected for certain things, but not giving any closure on what happens to zaun now, etc. a prime example of this is how sevika went from not wanting to help fight the noxians, to helping them, to suddenly being on the council.
This was a goated series with a very very direct planned story, it was simply Amazing and im glad it wasnt dragged out to ruin how crisp the two seasons are as a whole
Great job as usual guys. MT you missed how Jinx saw her monkeys inside of the Z drive before she finally decided not to blow up again... She has shimmer blood so maybe she could even see the subtle differences between her monkeys and the monkeys in the z drive
Awesome coverage! If Jinx did survive, I hope we at least get a cameo of her in the new story to bring a happy closure to the final events of season 2. Or if anything, we know another version of Powder/Jinx is alive so maybe we will get that version at some point.
0:09 One of my faves too. Gotta give a shout out to Pantheon too. The way both shows covered their story/character archs over two seasons... spectacular. Bravo! Talented writers
Just when I thought this series couldn’t get better, so many Easter eggs and beautifully intentionalities were made apparent through this video. Thank you good sir for this summary
Loooove the recap! I have a different thought about the rebuilt table in the council room, it reminded me of Kinsugi the Japanese craft of putting pottery back together with gold or other fillers. It highlights the imperfections that make something whole.
Ambessa doesn’t have an ability to generate a magic shield. Repudiation is something else. The green runes are an ingame item called Kaenic Rookern built against magic damage.
only part that felt weird and out of place was vi having sex in that prison cell after jynx leaving suicidal. she was like.. nah lets do it after being let out by cayt lmao. i was also hoping vi had some fight with embessa too considering how both are brawlers .. would have made more sense if she came to rescue cayt and mel later takes her into black rose necklace. overall still a master piece and these are minor gripes prolly due to limited number of episodes. honestly they could have made final episode into 2 parts as it had so many plot threads concluding at same time.
I mean, the scene would have been better setup with a longer drama-filled dialogue between the sisters, and then Cait, they rushed a bit too much to tell some stuff, didn't biuld up some events properly, and that made it feel somewhat off-putting...
Fm The Best Animated Project Of All Time. And I'm saying one more time The Best ANIMATED VISUALLY BEAUTIFUL PROJECT OF ALL TIME. Every frame of this show is a truly a piece of art🐐🔥
Some interesting bits of info gathered from an interview with Christian Linke suggests some “deaths” aren’t as they might seem and might not be the last we see of characters He said he still has plans for Heimerdinger, which sounds like he either didn't die or we'll see him in flashbacks in another series That it is still too soon to talk about what Viktor is now, when someone asked what Viktor actually became. Which hints there's till plans to use him. When it was put to him that people don’t think Jinx is dead, he said “Figure it out”
I'd like to see a bit more out of some of these characters, like for example, it could be nice if they introduced Urgot (hoefully you know what I'm talking about), and showed some of his story and how it tangles with Vi and Cait, as it looks lore-wise happening after all of this we saw in the series. Even something of what actually happened to Jinx. Maybe not even calling it Arcane anymore, but whatever else, with some new characters, and some of the ones we saw, even if in more minor roles, idk, so much potential in this universe...
since jinx died and vi died but powder could travel to the world where vi is still alive since she has the machine and the power cores and even helped build the time travel machine
3:08 that's coz in this universe, Silko got to read Vander's apology letter and they made up. Same reason VI's death never created Jinx and she remained Powder instead. Didn't realise in that moment that it foreshadowed her death in the OG universe.
I finished watching the series and came looking for this video! lols it was a great finale. I was thinking of Neon Genesis Evangelion during the last part of episode 9.
i know mell is going to be a champion in league. question is, is she going to be a support enchanter with barriers, or a mid lane controle mage, or will we finaly have a bot lane mage carry, designed for that role. personaly i would love to see her as a bot lane carry, a hybrid of noxian and piltover mentality, (noxian) brute force on the battlefield (piltover) stand together, we fight as one. she would be perfect for the botlane mage, with her having a barrier for spellcancel like sivir does.
they kind of cheat a bit with the hooded mage bit, they mad his hood black in all but the last scene where they add the cosmic stuff to it. I kind of thought that undercut the reveal. but also it would have mad it 100% viktor as soon as he went cosmic mode.
Singe’s daughter comes to life at the end too- you can see her reflection as she is looking at the music box/charm necklace and Singe is peering into her room looking at her lovingly
As someone who’s not normally into animated series (besides Avatar the Last Airbender, that is the greatest show of all time and in a category if it’s own) I was so captivated by Arcane! The animation and the story were both so mind-blowingly creative and beautiful.
The Yordle are a race of spirits who generally take the appearance of mammalian bipeds .Heim is a Yordle, he's immortal, he just came back to Bandle City to drink tea. And Bandle city is located in a special space and time area that can connect everywhere so the young man Heimerdinger is definitely alive.
I can’t believe it’s over. What a journey it has been with this show. Riot delivered something unbelievably special to the world of fiction and entertainment and I genuinely believe it’s something we won’t see for a long time. Certainly solidified in history and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Arcane is peak and the best of the best and season 2 was fucking phenomenal! Does it have some issues? Yes it does. Is it perfect? No it isn’t. But that doesn’t change the fact that season 2 was an absolute spectacle that capitalized on the masterpiece that season 1 was. I adored it and Arcane really was a very special experience that made me feel every emotion possible. Heartbroken to see the ride end but this isn’t the last time we will see these characters and I am hopeful for the future. Thank you Riot and Fortiche for creating a monumental piece of fiction and entertainment that will stand the test of time and will always hold a special place in my heart 💜 What a ride it was. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” Jinx is alive. Period. Doesn’t take too much rocket science to figure it out lol. She is walking away🥹
Yes, MT I fully agree, I don’t want to live in a timeline without Hailee Steinfeld either!!! This is my favorite animated show of all time. Great breakdown too.
'kind of his fault'. It always was Ekko's.. Vander explicitly made the rules to everyone as everyone looks up to him that you stay out of Piltover's business. And what did Ekko do? he went into Piltover's business and supplied a tip. You can call him 'boy savior', but ultimately this whole series of tragedies started with Ekko.
No it started with Jayce, Ekko is and was a child but the show blatantly shows us that Heimerdinger was right in telling Jayce not to pursue his creation. That work is what led to Ekko getting the tip to send them topside and that work was what nearly led to the end of Piltover and so many lives being lost. Jayce did this, Viktor was also a victim here.
@@IAmHavok Jayce would have been reigned in by the council as there would have been no threat from Zaun to justify its pursuit. Ekko however was explicitly told by Vander stay out of the business not only did he follow, but he passed the 'tip'. It wasn't Jayce, it was Ekko..
@metoo7557 Silco knew about it as well and wanted the power for himself so they would've absolutely still been a threat, that was the reason he had those kids waiting for them because he knew there was something big up there as well. Blaming a child for something adults put in their path is crazy
@@IAmHavok No, because Vander was very much the glue and in charge in the undercity. The entire bar stopped and waited for him to settle the transaction at the start. And, there would have been no need to send the enforcers into the undercity if they weren't at Jayce's because the hextech would not have been stolen. There would have been no threat. This all happened BECAUSE of Ekko.
@metoo7557 The entire undercity wasn't all influenced by Vander but a lot were, we see that very thing a few episodes later with Savika walking a bunch of folks out that very bar, some folks were already following Silco and Singed but he grew in influence after Vander died. It wasn't all on Vander's shoulders he just was the most respected down there.
Jinx’s last words was “Always with you, sis….(even when we’re worlds apart)”. So, she really did mean to leave Vi behind and travel to different worlds in this future Earth called Runeterra….
There is no way a new season of arcane can touch me like that of a tale of two sisters trying to save themselves 😭 Whoever it covers, it won’t beat Vi and Powder’s story 😢
Odd anticlimactic ending. Enjoyed it in the main. Too many musical breaks and felt a bit rushed, especially after the middle 3… but still top quality animation
The fact that the flaws are right there front and center intrigues me. It's soo condensed that we wouldn't even be mad if they stretch it into 4 seasons
I’m putting money that good ol Heimerdinger isn’t dead and that he will pop up at some point during Jayce and Viktor’s Excellent Adventure. You heard it here first.
Just to point out Warwick ‘should’ be pronounced ‘Worrick’ the 2nd L is silent The reason I know is because I’m from the place where the name originates…Warwickshire (Wor-rick-sheer) which itself has a small village called Warwick. Not sure why but Americans often pronounce it with a second W. If you hear how Warwick Davis says his name, that’s the correct pronunciation of the name
When you speak on Mel about the Star power your PARTLY right, it’s actually the power of the sun which is a star so in a way your right lol. Mel is part Solari & that’s where her powers come from
In swains lore i believe he doesn't work for the black rose (in fact he's trying to find whose in charge) he lost his arm due to a battle in Ionia which the black rose set him up to be killed there. he didn't die but lost an arm and made a deal with a demon called Rahust (one of the main demons like Fiddlesticks, we don't know what the deal was i think) bro went back to noxus and pulled an I'm not dead, rebelled against the previous tyrant (borham darkwill i think, he was getting manipulated by the back rose) and put in the trifecta government thingy. With him, Darius and the veiled one who is thought to be lablanc the leaders of noxus now. the black rose is basically the illuminati that want to stop the undead mordakiser (a worse tyrant who dealt with death magic stuff) from taking over because he was pissed he never got the undead army in the afterlife. please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm typing this while very tired so some parts may be wrong. but TLDR the black rose is everywhere.
In League of Legends, if you're a hero and dies. You will respawn soon. But if you die as a side character. You're dead, really really dead. But if you dies as a skill, you will just cooldown. Just like Isha, Teemo's mushroom that goes kaboooomm😂😂 Heimerdinger can't die (lore-wise), Yordles doesn't age and doesn't dies😂😂
So, you are not even trying to explain HOW Jinx got to that air vent? Like, can she just fly all of a sudden or teleport or what? She was just running very-very quickly while falling and that allowed her to fly horisontally? - that does not make even a modicum of sense. Or she pushed Warwick so hard that it allowed her to fly 100 meters horisontally and get precisely into the vent? - that is just ridiculous. Also, how did she break away from Warwick's grasp in the first place? I mean, we all know the answer - this is plot armor at its worst. In the final scene of the main character. The whole story of Jinx in Arcane ended up with "she just ran away... somehow... don't think about it..." This is the worst ending possible. As another commenter poined out, this is just as bad as "Palpatine returned! Somehow..." And all of that because Riot did not allow the writers to kill the most popular character. Because, of course - "My money's on the line now..."
YEAH WHY THE FUCK IS EKKO IN THAT WORLD CONSTANTLY HAVING WEIRD DREAMS AND WVERYONE IN AROUND EKKO KEEPS MENTIONING HIS DREAMS OR BEING CASUAL WITH IT WHEN EKKO SAYS “I had this dream” LIKE LIKE WHY DOES THAT VERSION OF EKKO HAVE POSSIBLY ARCANE INFLUENCED DREAMS?!?!?! AHHHH

If palpatine could survive that, Jinx could too! 💙
Never compare that Star Wars twist to Arcane!
Bruh 😂😂😂😂
Somehow he returned will be one of the biggest jokes ever. Alongside with "Danny kinda forgot about the Iron fleet"
Jinx is gonna return in the demacia show because in the lore she is the bestfriend of lux

I think the monkeys made her realize it was one of her own inventions somehow and that's what convinced her to hear Ekko out.

Definetly the best adaptation that outshined the source material since GoT
Visual storytelling at it's finest!
Arcane is not exactly an adaptation, and GoT was absolutely ruined when they ran out of source material.
@@EtaCarinaeSC of course it's adapted
And may they get to making the spin offs promptly
@@olleselin i never said it isnt, i said not exactly.
You people are insane.
Viktor’s plan is a lot like the human instrumentality project as well. And I cannot believe mother fucking Singed was the only one who got his happy ending. Fucking Singed.. god damn it rito.
A masterpiece though.
Confirmed singed main character of the original timeline
Honestly the black rose coulda just killed singed. No Warwick no Viktor no hexcore no shimmer... Gg. How did they not know of him
I hate singed
we all do
@justcallmewhat Singe works in the shadows. Never boasts, only focused on his personal mission.
Cait was the first to even suspect him of being the shimmer creator. We didn't even know his real name until she put it together.
I love how you break down even the tiniest details possible. 👏 Thanks.
I absolutely love how Ekko gets his signature weapon in the end of the show from the hands of the Brocken clock from the tower.
Fun little tip you can see a nail in the bomb showing how Maddie betrayed them. 22:41
Where?
@ when they attach the bomb to viktors cart

Outstanding show, they even showed Orianna after being rebuilt as an easter egg at the end too when she's looking in the mirror
i saw that too!! but no-one has mentioned it!

7:50 The pic you point at for Echo, has a matching one of Powder, matched to look like they eyeing each other😅
Wish they did more with Warwick i found his character to have so much more potential then how he ended up in the end.

And Bandle city is located in a special space and time area that can connect everywhere so the young man Heimerdinger is definitely alive.
29:51 Did that 3 eyed raven send GOT chills down your spine? This show is dope!
VICTOR BECOMING A NEW GOD FROM FEAR AND HUNGER WAS FIRE.
3:44 the fcking rent reference 😂😂😂😂
22:03 omg nooo I didn’t even realize that was gert who died :(. What a show, even small character deaths can make me emotional
I can’t believe it’s over. What a journey it has been with this show. Riot delivered something unbelievably special to the world of fiction and entertainment and I genuinely believe it’s something we won’t see for a long time. Certainly solidified in history and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Arcane is peak and the best of the best and season 2 was fucking phenomenal! Does it have some issues? Yes it does. Is it perfect? No it isn’t. But that doesn’t change the fact that season 2 was an absolute spectacle that capitalized on the masterpiece that season 1 was. I adored it and Arcane really was a very special experience that made me feel every emotion possible. Heartbroken to see the ride end but this isn’t the last time we will see these characters and I am hopeful for the future. Thank you Riot and Fortiche for creating a monumental piece of fiction and entertainment that will stand the test of time and will always hold a special place in my heart 💜 What a ride it was.
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
Jinx is alive. Period. Doesn’t take too much rocket science to figure it out lol. She is walking away🥹
Loved season 1, had no idea what was going on in season 2
Yes, MT I fully agree, I don’t want to live in a timeline without Hailee Steinfeld either!!! This is my favorite animated show of all time. Great breakdown too.
Anytime I see anything with a multiverse I always think “I hope my multiverse selves are doing ok” though know me probably not
1:05 quantum leap! Classic show.
'kind of his fault'.
It always was Ekko's.. Vander explicitly made the rules to everyone as everyone looks up to him that you stay out of Piltover's business.
And what did Ekko do? he went into Piltover's business and supplied a tip.
You can call him 'boy savior', but ultimately this whole series of tragedies started with Ekko.
No it started with Jayce, Ekko is and was a child but the show blatantly shows us that Heimerdinger was right in telling Jayce not to pursue his creation. That work is what led to Ekko getting the tip to send them topside and that work was what nearly led to the end of Piltover and so many lives being lost. Jayce did this, Viktor was also a victim here.
@@IAmHavok Jayce would have been reigned in by the council as there would have been no threat from Zaun to justify its pursuit. Ekko however was explicitly told by Vander stay out of the business not only did he follow, but he passed the 'tip'.
It wasn't Jayce, it was Ekko..
@metoo7557 Silco knew about it as well and wanted the power for himself so they would've absolutely still been a threat, that was the reason he had those kids waiting for them because he knew there was something big up there as well. Blaming a child for something adults put in their path is crazy
@@IAmHavok No, because Vander was very much the glue and in charge in the undercity. The entire bar stopped and waited for him to settle the transaction at the start. And, there would have been no need to send the enforcers into the undercity if they weren't at Jayce's because the hextech would not have been stolen.
There would have been no threat.
This all happened BECAUSE of Ekko.
@metoo7557 The entire undercity wasn't all influenced by Vander but a lot were, we see that very thing a few episodes later with Savika walking a bunch of folks out that very bar, some folks were already following Silco and Singed but he grew in influence after Vander died. It wasn't all on Vander's shoulders he just was the most respected down there.
Jinx’s last words was “Always with you, sis….(even when we’re worlds apart)”. So, she really did mean to leave Vi behind and travel to different worlds in this future Earth called Runeterra….
There could be so many spin off shows from this. Can't wait!!
At 8:59 Arcane failed to show alt Isha with her happy family in this universe.
Also, Powder still has the hexcores and they show us the drawer where she was keeping them. Hextech will come to that universe.
There is no way a new season of arcane can touch me like that of a tale of two sisters trying to save themselves 😭 Whoever it covers, it won’t beat Vi and Powder’s story 😢
I dont know anything about Arcane but i watched every season when a new episode was available
Great series😀
25:40 LeBlanc isn't destroyed, LOL. She merely got overpowered out of the spell.
Bro really pulled a "Blue skadoo." That alone is worth the like.
Odd anticlimactic ending. Enjoyed it in the main. Too many musical breaks and felt a bit rushed, especially after the middle 3… but still top quality animation
The fact that the flaws are right there front and center intrigues me. It's soo condensed that we wouldn't even be mad if they stretch it into 4 seasons
Im with you on hailee steinfeld, also, the fact the most gorgeous woman in Hollywood's biggest starring roless are all voice over ones is ridiculous!
I really enjoyed the series. I hope we get more
If you watch season 1 there are so many ravens watching hextech and jinx etc
I don't play league but that show was so great.
Ekko the 🐐 ep 7 might be the best episode of the series
Here am i! Good to join
hamster dingle is alive guys, he's a yordle and they're basically immortal since when they "die" they quite literally respawn at their home town
The ending also teased singes daughter orianna.
Mel mom was an awesome foe, even warned Maddy not to have entanglements
I love MT as a host, but I don't really vibe with how much he brings up the MCU in his breakdowns of completely unrelated media.
@MT I wish you all the health, the drive, the knowledge to keep doing what you love and making these awesome and informative videos.....
don't know why but would love to see an ambessa vs doom fist cinematic or short or something
The best writing ever simply dope
I’m putting money that good ol Heimerdinger isn’t dead and that he will pop up at some point during Jayce and Viktor’s Excellent Adventure. You heard it here first.
Just to point out Warwick ‘should’ be pronounced ‘Worrick’ the 2nd L is silent
The reason I know is because I’m from the place where the name originates…Warwickshire (Wor-rick-sheer) which itself has a small village called Warwick.
Not sure why but Americans often pronounce it with a second W. If you hear how Warwick Davis says his name, that’s the correct pronunciation of the name
When you speak on Mel about the Star power your PARTLY right, it’s actually the power of the sun which is a star so in a way your right lol.
Mel is part Solari & that’s where her powers come from
In swains lore i believe he doesn't work for the black rose (in fact he's trying to find whose in charge) he lost his arm due to a battle in Ionia which the black rose set him up to be killed there. he didn't die but lost an arm and made a deal with a demon called Rahust (one of the main demons like Fiddlesticks, we don't know what the deal was i think) bro went back to noxus and pulled an I'm not dead, rebelled against the previous tyrant (borham darkwill i think, he was getting manipulated by the back rose) and put in the trifecta government thingy. With him, Darius and the veiled one who is thought to be lablanc the leaders of noxus now. the black rose is basically the illuminati that want to stop the undead mordakiser (a worse tyrant who dealt with death magic stuff) from taking over because he was pissed he never got the undead army in the afterlife. please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm typing this while very tired so some parts may be wrong. but TLDR the black rose is everywhere.
Caitvi fandom = 💥💥
THEY GOT BLOWN UP BY JINX OMAG
Maddy’s death is right up there with P’li’s from The Legend of Korra, in terms of satisfaction level. Oooh, it was orgasmic chi 😙👌🏼
In League of Legends, if you're a hero and dies. You will respawn soon.
But if you die as a side character. You're dead, really really dead.
But if you dies as a skill, you will just cooldown.
Just like Isha, Teemo's mushroom that goes kaboooomm😂😂
Heimerdinger can't die (lore-wise), Yordles doesn't age and doesn't dies😂😂
I swear we can’t go one video without a marvel mention
well ekko acan always use his zdrive to save jnix 4 sec before the explosion^^
So, you are not even trying to explain HOW Jinx got to that air vent? Like, can she just fly all of a sudden or teleport or what? She was just running very-very quickly while falling and that allowed her to fly horisontally? - that does not make even a modicum of sense. Or she pushed Warwick so hard that it allowed her to fly 100 meters horisontally and get precisely into the vent? - that is just ridiculous. Also, how did she break away from Warwick's grasp in the first place?
I mean, we all know the answer - this is plot armor at its worst. In the final scene of the main character. The whole story of Jinx in Arcane ended up with "she just ran away... somehow... don't think about it..." This is the worst ending possible. As another commenter poined out, this is just as bad as "Palpatine returned! Somehow..."
And all of that because Riot did not allow the writers to kill the most popular character. Because, of course - "My money's on the line now..."
YEAH WHY THE FUCK IS EKKO IN THAT WORLD CONSTANTLY HAVING WEIRD DREAMS AND WVERYONE IN AROUND EKKO KEEPS MENTIONING HIS DREAMS OR BEING CASUAL WITH IT WHEN EKKO SAYS “I had this dream” LIKE
LIKE WHY DOES THAT VERSION OF EKKO HAVE POSSIBLY ARCANE INFLUENCED DREAMS?!?!?! AHHHH
13:10 It is confirmed lol you Ekko had to inhabit gis counterpart so why wouldn't Heimerdinger? Also he's not "dead" just respawning.
Remember guys parallel universes are infinite so there’s definitely a world exactly like this good timeline but Vi is alive too ahhh
