    24:45 it’s called empathy, my brother and it’s a beautiful thing putting yourself in other people shoes regardless of if it’s just fake people. it’s what really makes you human and I pity people who don’t feel it.

      Art imitates life. It's not just fictional characters, the reason it resonates it's cause the trauma a lot of these characters went through is something that people go through in real life. Abandonment, exploitation, addiction, socioeconomic discrimination etc Really good stories do a great job of touching, inspiring and informing the audiences of different experiences through music, visual story-telling, directing, acting (voice acting in this case), choreography and good editing. Arcane is a technical marvel.

      you realize he's advocating for empathy right? the clip doesn't just end at him saying "i don't understand how people can get emotional over a TV show". he goes on to explain why people do. he himself cried a ton in this reaction video when Jinx died.

  • @InkyPetrel
    @InkyPetrel 14 дней назад +13

    Absolutely agree about letting yourself be affected by media. Like, what's the point otherwise? These reactions have been wonderful because of the level of engagement you both have.
    The thing with storytelling and emotion is, the brain doesn't distinguish between emotions caused by real people and emotions caused by a character in a story. If you actually engage with the story in the way that's intended, then of COURSE you empathize with them, that's what stories are FOR. The characters might be fantasy, but the emotion comes from the same place.
    What's the point of a story if you refuse to let it touch you? People who say shit like "how can you get attached to a character" are cutting themselves off from meaningful experiences, from new perspectives and even from learning things about themselves, just because they aren't personally involved in what's on screen, and that feels like a pretty narrow way to experience the world.
    Thank you for sharing your reactions, this show has been a hell of a ride.

    I just realized why Victor was shocked by the Z Drive. In all other timelines Victor win except this one with the acceleration rune. Ekko's Z Drive is the inverse. So when Ekko threw it, it froze time long enough for Jayce to show Victor want happened in the other or future timeline

      @pabloc8808 10 дней назад

      Yup it's a closed time loop, Mage Viktor gave young Jayce the acceleration rune because he knew Ekko needed it to make the Z-Drive, which was the only way for Glorious Evolution Viktor to be stopped. Glorious Evolution Viktor would then see the future, become Mage Viktor, go back in time, and give young Jayce the acceleration rune.

    Jinx survived. There was a pink streak right before the explosion, and Caitlin was looking at the air vents on the blueprints (Jinx's escape route). Also the airship that shows up right at the end is the same as the one Powder mentioned she wanted to travel on in the first episode of the show.

    • @jxz1685

    • @wilky7004
      @wilky7004 13 дней назад +8

      Indeed, I commend the writers for leaving clues that Jinx (and Warwick) survived from the grenade explosion and the reason why Caitlyn ask Violet by her full name "Are you still in this fight" knowing that Jinx is alive.

    This is what Mel was talking about to Jayce in season 1, and what Ambessa was talking to Caitlyn in this season at ep6. War isn't what people think it is, and there's always sacrifice with it. That's what every character faced in this finale with Viktor and Jayce at the forefront. Special shout out to another maestro piece of score, I Promised You, which really brought moment home for me. What a masterpiece that ended on such a strong note. I know it's not the most tied up finale ever for some, but I don't care. This ended in a really impactful way, and that's all I could really ask for in a ending.

    Keep in mind that they started production on the show in 2014 and were probably well into production of season 2 when season 1 came out, so instead of saying they spent 3 years making season 2, it would be more accurate to say they spent 10 years making both seasons.

  • @Xman_supreme
    @Xman_supreme 13 дней назад +3

    Somebody was analyzing the scene where Jinx and Vander/Warwick explode and slowed down the speed...and pointed out a pink streak shooting off to the side as the explosion happened. Then we see Caitlin looking at the schematics of the building seeing what looks like ventwork at the bottom of that structure and smiling...like she realized Jinx could have escaped. And then at the end we see that ship flying off...just like at the beginning of season 1 when Powder said she wanted to fly on one of those...and then it ends with that Jinx glitch. I think she got away and was on that ship...

  • @anabrans2
    @anabrans2 14 дней назад +1

    Jinx is very much alive tho. Last scene with an airship is where she is, also glitchy letters of The End in Jinx style.
    There is also a theory that it was Vander that saved her, it is connected to her Monkey bomb in that case.
    When Jinx takes out her Monkey bomb we see Vander's memory of tucking Powder and Vi in, they were asleep so it is his memory of it, not theirs. Right next to the candle you can see Powder's Monkey head toy, same head she has on her bomb now - same style - and that could be what trggered this memory of his.
    Last time she wanted to use a bomb on him was in prison when they fought and it made him remember who she was, so this could indicate that he was the one who threw her to safety, he was holding her by the waist anyways, I don't know is she strong enough to escape his grip on her own. Vander blowing that candle could be a metaphor of the last coherent thing he did as "Vander", idk.

    Jinx is alive. There's a couple hints in this episode and a hint in the first/earlier episodes about her still being alive.
    1. The shimmer line shooting out of the explosion.
    2. Caitlyn looking at blueprints of the air-ducts while toying around with the small monkey head from one of Jinx's gadgets.
    3. The blimp at the end (Jinx said in the first/earlier episodes how she was gonna get on one someday.)
    Jinx faking her death was a way for her to start a new. If she stayed around, it would have complicated things for Vi and Caitlyn's relationship. Idk if Vi knows she's alive, but I'm pretty sure Caitlyn does.

    Fan theory is Jinx survived but that’s mostly wishful thinking by fans and because the cast and crew didn’t say she died. They didn’t say she lived neither but fans will take that as confirmation even though it isn’t 😂

      its pretty obvious she survived when you look at the clues. the shimmer-pink streak escaping the explosion right before it went off, caitlyn investigating the exit points on the hexgate, and the final shot of the airship flying away wouldnt make any sense if it wasnt hinting at something

    This show never made me want to play league. It made me wish riot would make an open world rpg so I could actually have fun in this world.
