@@lordlubu3029 In the scene Vi doesn't know Jinx is actually suicidal, she just thinks she is sad af. And don't forget that Vi had MONTHS of pentup trauma, stress and emotions with very little outlet, nobody to properly talk to. When Cait showed Vi that she 100% trusts her and that she is willing to let go of her hate for Jinx, prioritising her love for Vi, all this pentup tension between them exploded. Vi needed help as much as anybody else, in this case Cait was the one thing Vi tried to cling to.
After watching Arcane, with so many thoughts and emotions, I want to share with everyone how the writing team has excellently built a beautiful and meaningful love story in a dark, complex and tragic context. Cait and Vi is really a bright spot of the film, keeping the whole story on fire, even when problems or other characters are gradually falling into the vortex of despair. The way they build Caitlyn and Vi's relationship is not only subtle but also very deep. One of the details I want to emphasize is the scene where Cait asks Vi: "You really think I needed all the guards at the Hexgates?" This line is not merely a sentence but also shows Cait's deep trust in Vi. How much love and trust Cait has for Vi to break the rules, let the guards leave, create space for Vi to act freely as she pleases. It was not only the belief in Vi's choice, but also the belief that Vi understood that Jinx had changed. In that statement, we can also implicitly understand that she has let go of her hatred for Jinx and the pain of losing her mother (a person who always wants her to follow the rules). Instead, Cait chooses to put her love for Vi above all else. Cait's actions in this scene are also her way of giving Vi the right to choose. Cait knew that Vi and Jinx could leave together, and she was fully aware of the possibility that she would never see Vi again. But Cait still does, still putting love and respect above everything, even her own pain and selfishness. This is a subtle metaphor for the act of letting go. Cait loves Vi unconditionally, respecting Vi's every decision, even if it means that Vi can leave her to go with Jinx. I also see that there are many people who want Cait and Vi to have more direct dialogue emotional scenes that are forced and rushed,... Especially after the two had a big breakup. But it is here that Arcane has applied the principle of "SHOW, DON'T TELL" very well. Isn't one of the successes of the film to make us constantly remember and discuss them, there will be nothing more to say if the show just tell everything. Cait's actions in the prison scene are the clearest demonstration of the affection she has for Vi. Every gentle touch of Cait to Vi, the concern for the wound in the abdomen where she herself smashed the gun, and even Cait's confession that she had met someone else, were all the most sincere apologies. This is a way of expressing affection that I really like - actions that say it all, without clichés. This prison scene is also a parallel to how Cait released Vi earlier. This time, Cait is not only physically free, but also mentally free. Give Vi the right to choose, not forced, not pulled, but let them find each other themselves. Their love transcended all boundaries, all prejudices, all differences like ''oil and water''. Whether in prison or anywhere, their love always exists, helping them both overcome pain and make each other happy. Cait's character development from ss1 to ss2 is very obvious and meaningful. At first, Cait was a somewhat stubborn young lady who wanted everything to go her way. We see this through Cait's psychology in the scene in the bathroom after Vi leaves -- she is angry, she doesn't understand why Vi left against her will. By ss2, there was even a bit of imposition when forcing Vi to join the army. However, through it all, Cait has learned a valuable lesson: Letting go. The phrase "If you love someone, let them go. If they come back, it was meant to be" seems to reflect the spirit of love that Cait has for Vi. It is a deep, sincere, and selfless love than ever before. What Cait wants is not to tie Vi by her side, but for Vi to be happy and find a family that Vi deserves. This is the delicate and humane character development that the writing team has successfully portrayed for Caitlyn. Cait and Vi has chosen love, acceptance and let go of all hatred. It was their actions showed that love more clearly than any words. In addition, one thing I really like about Cait is the subtle of how her personality was built. Cait is the type of person who is quiet and does not express everything to the outside. Right from season 1, she often uses actions to express emotions, such as hugging or kissing Vi. Small actions such as taking Vi unconscious to her own room, she must have been the one who washed and changed Vi's clothes, or the moments when Cait silently watched Vi like the way she looked at Vi's hand in prison after Jinx left, all showed deep concern. Another small but very cute detail is that Cait brought two chairs to the room for both of them to sit together. In particular, the scene of Vi sitting and singing on the table in episode 9 is also very impressive. It can be seen that Vi no longer wears armbands and shoes, she is completely comfortable. This is the moment Vi finally feels at home, feeling healed both physically and mentally. Vi, who had psychological problems and the habit of structuring her nails, is now better thanks to Cait's constant care. In conclusion, the relationship between Cait and Vi is one of Arcane's brightest spots. Every little detail, every action is carefully crafted by the screenwriter, showing the respect, understanding and deep love that the two have for each other. This is not only love, but also healing and companionship on the journey to find oneself again.
So we actually don’t know if Heimerdinger died or not. Because he is a Yordle (a spirit being that takes on the form of a rat looking thing for a lack of better words) he can’t actually die. Yordle’s when the ‘die’ respawn in a place called Bandle City. The problem is though is that he died in an alternate dimension, so we don’t know if he is going to respawn at all, or if he is going to respawn and it’s going to be in the alt dimension or the regular one. It’s all very complicated.
@@rygornspectre7142I mean yeah technically he could just respawn in the alt timeline Bandle city instead. That would really suck. I’d like to imagine he would be able to get back home but I don’t think that would be the case.
Something I can’t really reconcile is what now happens to the original Heimerdinger from that timeline? Is his consciousness just erased due to being hijacked? To me that’s pretty depressing. Also how come Jayce didn’t inhabit the version of him that was an arcane husk, but Ekko and Heimer did inhabit their alternate selves?
@@gigachad3925 Its probably because he had his hextech hammer with him, and all the glitchiness that happened with it. Ekko and Heimerdinger didn't have any hextech with them
@@Roflmao6173 I like that theory. Upon thinking about it, my personal theory is that the husks aren't really people anymore, so there was no longer any corresponding "Jayce" that the arcane could place him into. Instead he just became an anomaly that manifested as his original self.
[24:24] Makes the lyrics of the song playing during Viktor's transformation and farewell to Sky even more heartbreaking and sad: "But I'd rather you not be here for what could be my final form stay your pretty eyes on course keep the memories of who I was before." 😢
I love how everyone looked surprised / disgusted when Jayce revealed the shell that Viktor used, while there's literal animal / machine hybrids walking all over the city that look 100% worse.
The other mage is LeBlanc. But we don't see her face. She is not the childhood friend of Mel. She's leader of the black rose and has illusion magic. She disguised herself as the girl you thought was her childhood friend, but that was actually a highborn child who's family lost the war to Ambessa. Ambessa then kills her to show Mel you can't show mercy. LeBlanc uses the image of her to mess with Mel. Same as she does with showing Kino.
I think they meant the "childhood friend" as in the girl in the flashback when Ambessa took over the city and asked Mel what to do with her since she's a member of the old regime. And then Ambessa cut off her head. The one she's given is the same necklace that the girl was wearing/Mel painted though, so I'm wondering if that's when we see her crossing the Black Rose and why they want revenge. I know I partially repeated what you said, but was spilling my thoughts lol.
@@PlaneToSpain They mention the transgression Ambessa made was "stealing something far more precious than gold" and "whatever that child inherited is of terrible importance to our captors" So why Ambessa is fighting with The Black Rose, seems to be that she had a child that inherited an ability and she never gave it up to the Rose. Probably made a deal with them but breaking that deal, and for that they took Kino.
@@Nyx__ Yeah that makes sense. Rell is a perfect example of them taking magical children and turning them into weapons. I’m not sure how she “stole” it though because it seems she just had an affair? or something to do with Kindred in her music video since she’s pregnant in it. I haven’t looked to much into Ambessa bc she personally doesn’t interest me as a champ in the game lol
@@PlaneToSpain If the man she had the affair with was a member of the Black Rose, and the child (Mel) was a mage and inherited great power (she did) LeBlanc would absolutely see Ambessa as "stealing" from the Black Rose. Passing through, and conceiving a child that LeBlanc felt SHOULD have been hers to mold into a promising mage/member of the order. As for her brother, it seems that the TL;DR is that they gave Ambessa the ultimatum of "Give us your daughter, and we won't kill your son." And Ambessa chose to keep Mel hidden, which meant that Kino WASN'T the child from the affair that she was trying to keep away from the Rose, so they killed him. Ambessa basically sacrificed her son to keep Mel out of their reach.
@@PlaneToSpain That wasn't Mel's friend. As the OP stated, that girl from when Mel was younger was a high born noble whose family Ambessa had just obliterated. Mel didn't know that girl at all. And these 2 meant exactly what they said because they don't have a clear recollection of that episode.
After u guys finish the last episode it would be so fun if u guys checked out the League of legends champion list. Just checked out all the characters, u can see the ones from the show, and the 3D interactive map too. U can see all the countries and Zaun/Piltover and how the world looks
Rictus was NOT Mel's father. (smh) You guys are watching a whole different show in your heads than the one that's on the screen. Rictus is Ambessa's body guard. Mel's dad is someone she met from a small town while she passing through back in the day. Even the dynamic between... you know what? Forget it.
"The Undercity's gonna eat you alive"
Vi wasn't kidding
😳
“Maddie could never” is wild😭 (true though)
Vi finally ate her cupcake 🍰 👀 💙
Yum
🤤
I'm dying you guys. Maddie could never XD
"Vi made her busted in seconds" 😂😂😂😂😂 love your reactions... hilarious
I love the music during Viktor's evolution
twenty one pilots never miss.
19:50 When Vi came to bust out Jinx, her cell was left unguarded because Caitlyn knew Vi would do something like this.
and trusted her decision. even if it meant that Vi might have left with Jinx, never to return. this show gets more painful the more you look at it.
Cait bust one out too
Still makes no sense for Vi to completely ignore her suicidal sister so she could bang Cait, that whole scene killed Vi's character.

"Loose hair Jinx isn't real, she can't hurt you"
Loose hair Jinx:
The ravens indicate another champion from the game, hinting toward Noxus being the next series. They've been scattered throughout the series.
the caitvi scene was supposed to be longer but they couldnt show it because of age ratings :') shame, hopefully they'll release it as deleted scenes
