Can we just remember that Vi is only 2 years older than Jinx. I feel like there is animosity towards Vi that she didn't handle things properly, but also like again... She is ONLY 2 years older than Jinx. Vi is just as much a child as Jinx is, and is going thru many of the exact same pains that Jinx was.
her actions r still her responsibility. obviously she was traumatized and there is a reason she's the way she was in the scene. she's know violence her entire life, but that doesn't make it better. she still traumatized her sister and she does deserve to be held accountable.
@@slivoir6351 Not sure how accountable you can be held for something like this at this age considering even adults don't know how to handle this with much more life experiences though. ;)
@@slivoir6351 Who traumatized who in that scene?
To me, Vi is an absolute hero. And she got it even worse than Jinx
It's the adults who put children in this hellish situation who deserve the bulk of the blame. Yes, Vi's actions broke Powder and made Jinx (in the context of all that happened - things could have gone differently if Marcus hadn't been there, if Silco hadn't come, etc). But Vi was broken in her own way by the deaths of her family (family #2) and the knowledge that her own sister was responsible. At her age, it's insane she even came back from it. And she collected herself in the moment and was going to go back to be there for Powder, but fate had other things to say. It's a tragedy, where each character (including Powder) had fatal weaknesses that were hammered by tragic circumstance. But again, these were children, already deeply traumatized children, whose trauma came from the actions of adults. I only see Vi and Powder as victims here who in their own ways heroically rose above it and were buried beneath it.
Vi as a sister does a better job of being a parent than a lot of actual parents out there lol
Hard disagree. Vi was supportive of Powder up until the moment Powder became an inconvenience for her(And yes, killing Mylo and Claggor was wrong but that wasn`t Powder`s intention, as she said repeatedly she was only trying to help and save her big sis from Monster Deckard and she did.)She knew Powder was insecure, yet she didn`t defend her from Mylo`s attacks when Powder was in earshot.
Vi also, no less than Silco, took advantage of Powder/Jinx`s codependent nature.
Throughout Arcane and League of Legends, Vi never bothers to see those she`s fighting(Even when they`re her own flesh and blood) as anything other than criminals and inferiors. How is Powder ,an already traumatized child with deep-seated abandonment and insecure attachment issues, magically supposed to develop cognitive empathy and self-control if her own big sister whom she once admired and depended on never modeled that for her? It was never going to happen!In other words, Vi is no different in her mindset than a female version of the stuck-up Topsiders and Enforcers she once resented like Marcus and her own parents` killers!
I completely agree. The circumstances were so unfortunate but so understandable. I found myself saying both yes and no in many situations 😂
Rewatching this and as an animator, i want to thank you for paying extra attention to all the small details added into the show that add so much the characters.
Excuse my typos! Hope the message comes across well
I personally think that Jinx wasn't trying to protect Vi or harm Silco. Or that the moment she shot Silco was a moment where she was choosing Vi over him. I believe that she just reacted to the sound of a gun pin clicking. We've already seen with the crow that when she hears a noise, she will immediately react to it. Draw her weapon, aim at the potential threat, and asses it; before choosing a course of action. But that was when her mind was clear. With everything going on she skipped those steps and just reacted. Remove the threat.
Vi was lucky that she wasn't killed too. Jinx did a sweep of the entire table, all the demons in her mind were "seated" there, and she heard a gun safety pin clicking at one end. She didn't start with that end of the table, the end with the threat, she ended on it, destroying everything else in the path. Unintentionally shooting at Vi and Silco, and unintentionally missing Vi, because Vi was looking at Jinx, and had the time to dodge. Silco was looking at Vi, not giving him the same amount of time to try to dodge too.
Jinx wanted the pain to stop and reacted when she heard a threat. Vi was able to dodge, ducking below the sweeping gunfire. Silco was not.
Also, as a side note. I have no animosity towards Vi, I, in fact love her character, and the dynamics that she has with Jinx, and I really hope that one day they can somehow manage to bridge the gap, and that Vi can accept that Powder is gone, and if she wants her sister, that she is going to have to accept Jinx, and not try to make her be Powder again, but move forward together. (Also, I'm not saying that she needs to accept Jinx's affinity for violence, and disregard of the pain she causes others, but that she can't go back to being Powder, and that by trying to make her do so, is just causing her pain)
This was just how I interpreted the end of the tea party scene, I didn't feel any "choosing" aspects or protective aspects. Just a desperate reaction to protect herself.
Very late but fun fact it was actually confirmed that she was instinctually protecting Vi by one of the writers (Amanda Overton)
@@amanda46341.) I've searched the internet and can't find this quote, a link would be appreciated.
2.) The context of what she means would be important here, even in the explanation given above Jinx is protecting Vi, she's just doing it instinctually and is more specifically just reacting to the event as it happens.
I dient read all of it but I agree with the first thing you wrote
Arcane is beautiful because the characters don't feel like characters they feel like real people. You only want the best for them, You hope everyone gets their happy ending. The writers and animators did a amazing job of really making you care about the cast.
Interesting note. In the beginning, Vi tells Powder to remember what she told her when it was time to jump across the roof gap. Basically, "you're brave and capable" and that's what Powder became to make the leap. This returns at the close of Act 1, when Vi calls her a jinx, and that's who she becomes.
Important too that in a literal sense, the interaction goes "What did I tell you?" "That....im ready." and then at the beginning of episode 3 when powder wants to come save vander vi tells her bluntly, if justifiably, "You're not ready." and this clearly hits her hard. She bases her self worth and identity around what her family figures expect her to be the whole way through its one of my favorite aspects of her character.
The fact that you can even SAY this much about the intricacies of just 1 character in a show speaks volumes about how well written it was. Season 2 will have a hard time living up to how amazing season 1 was (given how much more time was put into season 1) but I'm still so excited for it. I feel like even Arcane at its worst is going to be leaps better than other shows at their best.
to be fair about the time difference for s1 and s2 a large portion of the 6 year dev time was probably pre-production and purely about getting the aestetic and style down. (as well as annoying Bureaucracy from some rando higher-ups at riot) i would guess the pre-pro and Aestetic was probably at least 2 years of the time and from what i heard there was a 2 year hiatus where no work was done so its more like 2 years of pre-pro and 2 years of storyboarding and fully animating and geting the music and stuff
In the scene before Jinx scorches everyone, you see her look at her sister Vi as the song starts playing "I am the monster you created." symbolizing that Vi made her who she is at least in her mind.
I think those 2 seconds are the saddest part of this whole scene. I think she is actually hoping that Vi says something, anything to make her stop. She shot Silco to protect Vi (I do believe that was intentional dictated by her subconscious, not a random accident), and throughout the dinner scene she keeps doing thing looking for Vi's reaction. When she raises her gun against Cait, she doesn't fire, although she could easily have shot Cait before Cait reacted with that minigun, but she didn't because she knew that would hurt Vi. She ultimately wants Vi to accept her for who she is, but Vi never gets there. That last look is a look of sadness, disappointment and resentment.
@@ErasmusTheJewWhat exactly does Vi need to accept about Jinx that she already hasn’t?
1:43:20-1:45:02 You've either got personal experience in this area, worked with a lot of people who have or spent a lot of time doing your homework.
Everyone who does combat sports (e.g boxing, MMA etc) professionally will say the same thing, namely if you have to think about what you want to do in the middle of a fight you're already behind the ball.
And as for shooting on a range vs a battlefield you are right on the money with that as well. (Story time) When I was in basic we had this guy who practically grew up with a rifle in his hands, damn near never missed and was overly smug about it. So our sergeant an old veteran issued him a challenge in the form of a 1 on 1 competition, an hour long PT session followed up by a round of shooting. By the end of it Mr Smug's groups were so horrible that he would've been better off using a shotgun while our sergeant's was still fairly consistent. He pointed towards Mr Smug's target and said something that I'll never forget "that is what happens to your accuracy when bullets start flying back at you and the adrenaline hits. That is why we train you"
That is an excellent story to help bring the point in. Thanks for sharing it. Happy you enjoyed the analysis = )
Right on amigo! That's why we call it being battle hardened. It's all muscle memory.
When jinx had her panic attack I literally got thrown back into how I acted that way.. god I wanna tell her that she matters and she’s ready
I love this analysis. As a FanFiction writer, this is gold to me!!!
Jinx and Arcane in general have had such a huge impact on my feelings, obsessions and passions.... It's amazing! I feel for Jinx so much and just want to hug her as tight as I can :3 :(
Writing about mental illness, emotions and alternative paths is a great and fun challenge. The possibilities and avenues of this series are just.... awesome!!!
Thank you so much for this
Dang…….imagine replaying all of your traumas before/while your dying. What a terrible way to go out😢
That Ekko v Jinx fight was one of, if not, the most astounding example of show, don't tell. The amount of lore, backstoy, character development, and emotions evoked through absolutely no dialogue was AMAZING. Every single frame mattered, every single micro expression delivered. I cannot gush about it enough!
Arcane means so much to me for its portrayal of so many emotions and I relate very heavily to both Powder and Vi, and if I'm being honest? Your analysis is doing more for me than the actual therapy i have access to
One thing to point out with Arcane that is still to this day just insane to me. All of the body language and facial expressions were key framed, they did not use any motion capture in this series. Usually it's pretty hard to capture compelling facial expressions when manually keyframing animations where mocap has been a real boon to many animated series. But they still managed it to such a high degree.
I just love that your outfit and hairstyle changes depending on the character whose state of mind and traits you’re trying to explain to us; I appreciate that, thank you.
Woww what a treat! Rewatching all those great videos in chronological order is gonna be fun. Sometimes seeing such stuff in different ways and orders reveal new things. Thanks Georgia!
Hope you enjoyed it raven
I swear even though I saw all the episodes watching you talk about describing how they feel and why they did things made me feel like crying
Something you missed with the punching machine scene is that line Milo says in a previous scene "you were twice the person at half her age," the scene proves that to be correct.
Well the show made me tear up. Jinx makes me want to protect her like my nieces. So, time to be blinded by tears again.
The ending song - Sting wailing "Why can't you love who I am?" - is so Jinx.
If you check out jinx's voice lines you might find something interesting. Jinx talks to her guns (powpow and fishbones.) Her rocket launcher fishbones is I guess you could say compassionate and it doesn't want to murder people. (Obviously jinx is doing these voices.)
I think that the perfect way to describe her arc is: "A victim of a series of REALLY unfortunate circumstances".
Anyway, my least favourite Arcane character is Heimerdinger. I understand that he has PTSD towards magic, and that sometimes you need to be careful to things you don't understand.
Howerer, as Jayce points out, humans don't have the luxury of centuries old lifespans, and people would eventually grow tired of empty promises and small talks, and demand actual facts. Plus, his own passivity is the reason why he was blind to the corruption of both Piltover and Zoan.
I’m sure Heimer will have some great character development in season 2. He’s supposed to be out of touch in season 1.
Why do u think he has PTSD?
His blindness to the the corruption was perfectly encapsulated during the opera, heimerdinger was jamming along to the music, eyes closed, oblivious to the fact that the ENTIRE council is behind him making backroom deals
@@ragnarian Exactly! In fact, if it wasn’t for his “retirement”, he would keep being oblivious to Zoan citizens’ pain and desire to have their deserved better lives.
Idk Heimerdinger...especially since he seems to have been right about warning Jayce about his advancements and how some people will only seek to subjugate others with/weaponize his work. Overall I'd say I was quietly impressed with Heimerdinger's character but a lot of this is dependent on where it goes in season two.
Who else teared up when Jinx was hugged by Vi for the first time, after all those years apart. Having been an orphan and not having grown up with any family, I felt every second of that moment... 🥺😭
I loved Schnee's video about the Boy Savior scene; there's a silent transaction between the two of them before this battle, as if two friends jesting each other for a round of their favorite game. And then the Flashback happens in intervals of their battle, showing a mixture of past and present and how much correlation they can have with each other, especially when there's deep rooted trauma involved.
Thank you for this epic master cut of all the jinx analysis videos. I Love the way you explain things. You make psychology easy to understand. I like the words you choose to explain things. You're doing it with passion and thats really awesome!
Your videos helped a lot to process this amazing show in the right way. Thanks to you I understand the characters and their intentions a lot better. This also helped me with my video editing.
I finally cut a video that I am kind of proud of, thanks to you and Schnee. You feed me with psychology, character intentions, behaviour and such deep and emotional things. And he's feeding me with the structure of storytelling and whats important to tell. Together though you make the Puzzle complete! Like, He is the smooth icing and nice decoration and you are the fluffy, soft and sweet inside of a (cup-)cake. ;)
The things you taught me through you analysis videos helped me in a way I want to express my Storytelling in my video editing. (If this sentence makes any sense to you, I hope you get what i mean😅 (I'm not native))
Long story short: you inspired me uploading my Arcane AMV's, and I want to thank you so much for this.🙏❤
I smashed the SUBSCRIBE button so hard I nearly broke my computer.
Coming from a family of therapists-and being in therapy myself-I really appreciated this deep dive into Jinx's journey. Arcane has arguably the most emotional depth of any series or movie I have ever seen. So many shows and movies try to show a character's emotional state, but it's either painted with broad strokes, bad tropes (often dangerously inaccurate), or Pop Psych 101; but the writers here clearly did their homework, and they cared enough about the characters to make them feel real. The characters' actions were driven by their emotional state rather than "the cool factor"-though the action scenes were insanely cool!-often with devastating consequences. It's so hard to portray trauma without resorting to shallow clichés, but Arcane really nailed it in showing us the journey from Powder to Jinx. It's heartbreaking because it feels so real, and it's done with such care, nuance, and understanding, while also being wildly intense, entertaining, and visually stunning.
The writers also managed to pull off another amazing achievement: virtually every character in this series is The Protagonist, and from a writing perspective, that's practically impossible-to get us to care about the actions and motivations of every character who appears on screen. Arcane gives us complex, three-dimensional characters in a 2D animated series-adapted from a video game. I am in awe.
😂👍
The Vi cosplay looks so cool on you! ❤
Jinx had the craziest journey. Great analysis as always.
I just want to say huge thanks for this video. I've also dealt with many traumas from young age, and I relate so much with Jinx's ptsd panic attacks and her emotional struggles. The animating team did fantastic job on describing how having traumas+poor mental health feels like. And you did perfect job on breaking those down one by one, on such an intimate level, without dehumanizing people with mental illness. Those things-making one dimensional, hateful or wrong accusations on real life identities- sadly happen very often with character analysis videos, you know. But watching this video, I felt catharsis, not the fear that you might get the details wrong. So thank you. Thanks for looking at people/characters with delicate, loving eyes. I love your devotion and content.
I L♡VE the fact that you are into the same types of pop-culture shows as I am (a former therapist who had to deal with a lot of my own personal traumas, as have many of us who enter the field, whose favorite class in school was "Psychology & Film"). ~ Keep up the fantastic, educational & entertaining analysis!!! + 💙💗 Awesome cosplay!!!
Thanks so much = ) happy you enjoyed it. Confirming to hear that from someone from the field < 3
Thanks for all your efforts with all your video
Aww thank you Grimm very kind

Yes lol I think o got rid of most how unfortunate

EXCITEDLY SAW THIS!!!! IMMEDIATELY listed it in my favorites so I can quickly access it when I come back and watch it later. AFTER I have had more sleep. THEN I shall return and rave. =)
Silco is a tiger, sevika is a viper, jinx is a honey badger
I love Jinx. I just want to cuddle her
You’d get smacked 😂

Also Jinx: *hugs tight*
@@alexthebored8303 or shot
@@alexthebored8303 shot, but then she'd hug the corpse
Most Everyone does..no doubt.
& she deserves all the cuddles
I have always identified very hard with Jinx both as Jinx and when she was Powder and I actually have begun having my own therapist watch this show and have linked her to your videos because you do such an excellent job talking about her character and it's a way I can present the character to her without her having to watch the entire series so I want to say thank you
Also was wondering do you make your own cosplay?
Oh wow, it must have taken ages to uploaded this.
Well I'm watching it again I seriously can't wait for season 2 ahahaha
I gotta say, Georgia is the only therapist that managed to made me listen and try to understand most if not everything she's saying as well as having me realize, see and tried a few times to open up how I feel, think and reflect on me. I'm still trying to express my feeling and sometimes I even try to reflect on myself more then just biological fact.
PS. English is not my native tongue and for that I apologize if and for my bad english.
I will say that the actress for Young Powder might have put a little too much emphasis on speaking the line "she is not my sister anymore" clearly rather than keeping the emotion that was so apparent both before and after that line. It felt less like grief and more like she was "just being dramatic" and the contrast was severe enough to knock me out of the story briefly. The cadence of the line just felt a little...goofy.
I love and agree with your descriptions of all the characters as they relate to Jinx, and wanted to share my own thoughts on Silco not just towards her, but towards Vander. I believe he was always emotional. He has sympathy. He understands emotions all too well, which is how he's so good at manipulating them. I think the cruelty that informed his entire life before Powder became his daughter is more a result of combining a reduced (not absent) sense of empathy with a dismissal of the importance of rationality in contrast to logic.
It was only at the warehouse, when Silco found himself in exactly the same position as Vander did at the bridge, that his empathy for another being increased. It wasn't by much, and it was overshadowed by a startling increase in compassion, but it was there. He was confronted with the consequences of his actions in the most immediate and visceral way possible. He saw a real person hurting in the way that he had been hurt so he wanted to help. But because he valued logic so highly in comparison to rationality he ignored the context and Powder's personal convictions. He took Powder's grief-stricken explanation that it was Vi's fault, not his, at face value and absolved himself. This left his conscience clear and meant he didn't have to change.
Vander, by contrast, took responsibility for the situation. He quite easily felt the hurt that Vi and Powder did, and though he didn't quite understand it well enough to know how to fix the underlying cause, recognizing his own fault in the matter gave his newfound compassion greater strength - if also rougher edges. It was at that point he truly had the desire to help those around him. It motivated him to surrender that dream he and Silco had shared and devote himself to the people that he had hurt. I think the worst part about his fate is that he had still been growing as a character when it happened. Since the bridge, he had gained a measure of the sympathy that Silco used to manipulate people - as he demonstrates when diffusing the situation with Huck. He grew even further during the fight in the warehouse, when he took up arms once more and fought for a truly righteous cause - the safety of his children - for the very first time in his life. It was a glorious capstone to such a briefly-seen character arc, and yet I still believe he could have grown even further if he survived.
(Which would be why I'm likely one of the few people who believes Episode 9's Stinger to be narrative gold on top of being a top-tier mythology tie-in.)
I believe that the reason Silco was so certain that she needed the exact the same thing he did, rather than something that suited her uniqueness, was because his compassion was weighted so heavily towards Sympathy, rather than a better balance with Empathy, combined with a thought process equally weighted towards logic over rationality. Vander had a chance to give Powder what she needed, rather than what he needed, and Silco couldn't understand the difference until he understood why his brother "gave up the cause".
And then, in Episode 9, he does learn. Jayce gives him that devastating ultimatum, and he finds himself unable to imagine a world without Jinx in it. Even the nation of Zaun doesn't seem complete without her.
That's why the line "is there anything so undoing as a daughter?" is so damn powerful for me. It feels like the singularity where all plots and characters meet. The needs of one's children supersedes all others. There is no pain greater than that of outliving your own children. Silco finally has his Empathy and Rationality brought up to healthy levels. And like Vander, he dies almost immediately after becoming a complete person - doing something that on the surface seems completely out of character for someone who is thought to be cold and calculating: reacting purely on an emotional drive to protect his relationships.
They are estranged far beyond repair, but they are still brothers. Still so similar despite walking such different paths. And their last words reflect this, impressing the thing they now value the most on the daughter they were closest to.
Vander enjoins Vi to be a protector, to put others' needs above their own.
Silco promises Jinx that she does not need to change. Her own needs come first always.
My feelings about Silco's last line are complex. I love it, and it's beautiful and it's heartwarming but I also hate it, and it disgusts me. To say that Jinx is perfect is to say that the killing, the grief, the pain, are as things should be. Powder is the name she was born with, and nothing can change the good times she had with Vi. Jinx is the suffering teenager who tosses back breakdowns like candy and nothing can change that either. Going back to Powder is impossible because there's just too much trauma and other sorts of growth that have happened since then, but living as Jinx is just as impossible. Nothing lies down that road but pain and despair. When Silco affirms Jinx, and not Powder, he is saying that the pain is all that matters. That suffering is happiness. When Vi affirms Powder, and not Jinx, she's implying that the pain was pointless, that it can just be thrown away and forgotten.
Vi and Silco tore her apart because neither could accept that both personas were a part of her.
Anyway, I've made myself cry at least six times writing this comment. I don't know if my thoughts match up with the literature anywhere other than where it matches up with what you say in this video but in the end I don't think I care. I just hope it resonates with someone.
oh finally the complete collection of jinxs analysis this will be great to binge
This series ate
I have adored this serie so much, I can't get enough of it and hearing your insight is really great. I think Jinx is a phenomenal character.
I love your arcane videos so much and I relate to Powder/Jinx a lot. Side note- I love how in every video you wear almost like a cosplay of the character your talking about. Its cool.
31:42 he wants her to give up hope in her sister becouse he wanted to belive in his brother and he got hurt really bad. he thinks jinx is exactly like him and thats the reason she is the only one he truly trusts and loves. sevika is rly close to silco and even loses her arm in order to protect him. he asks her in the loyalty scene if she was temptet tho. thats something he never would have asked jinx. i have no doubt that silko loved jinx untill the bitter end.
57:30 She has hallucinations and tells them to shut up as she is not in the mood. Caitlyn tells her that she didnt say anything. "I was not talking to you" is Jinx's response to Caitlyn, not her hallucinations.
Excellent compilation.
Looking forward to a Silco video, by far the best character
(Jinx a close second)
I appreciate these videos a lot. For multiple reasons (i.e., nostalgia, interest, education, intrigue, presentation), they're a great experience, so thanks! :)
I had to get rid of my cats a few months ago, and I can’t stop thinking of them. I want to remember them, but every time I do, it’s just heartbreaking. Is there anyway that I can remember them without being being heartbroken?
24:42 :: Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Feint I heard it as Fight, Flight, Fawn and Freeze … fawning of course is trying to appease the source of stress and danger
In a lot of "good to bad" stories, there are several points along their character arc that if any one of them were removed, it wouldn't impact the outcome much, so you can kinda make yourself believe that there wasn't anything that could be done to stop them turning bad. What makes Jinx's story so tragic is the fact that the entire reason she ended up turning was because of a single moment. If Vi had gotten back to Powder before Silco showed up, or if that enforcer guy didnt kidnap her, Jinx probably would have never existed. It's one of those things where something _could_ have been done to save her, and that simple fact makes the tragedy of her story arc all the more impactful
I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to like the guy who ends up raising jinx, but your psychological analysis makes it impossible not to.
Merry Christmas to me! More arcane content from one of my favorite psychologists on RUclips! Thank you!
im both 100% analytical and 100% emotional and ive noticed people have a hard time understanding me and i always feel at war with myself, i feel like im both one thing and the opposite at the same time, for example i have a common interest with everyone but fit in nowhere, i have hobbies in common with everyone but am always left out, im anxious and shy around people but i love being around them, im very open minded but head strong and stubborn... i feel like im 2 separate things in one body and it feels like im tearing myself apart with any difficult decision 9:53
yeah she is just a child, A child that man slaughtered 2 friends and a father figure, its not so black and white. that being said I feel for her. reminds me of a saying i heard but cant remember who said it. "the worst atrocities have been committed by people trying to do the right thing". sometimes its best to just step back
Oh how I hope for a happy ending for Powder/Jinx. But as a Bad guy jinx is scary, smart, and driven. She's the character that you can't intimidate, control, or wear down. All she needs is a good P.R. team and we can get her elected for sure.
Since I watched your "Silco & Jinx" video, I am a fan of your channel, and I wish I could make subtitles for my fellow Japanese(for the obvious reasons).
This is a beautifully done analysis. I was enthralled listening the whole time.
Thank you for this compilation!
okay so not only is this video such beautifully nuanced analysis but its making me introspect and understand me a little bit better.
Hmmm interesting I didn't see Jinx's Fishbones as the weapon that Silco wanted I saw it that Jinx herself was the weapon Silco wanted...
I value a competent therapist more than they can understand you offer understanding to those that are not fully educated to the situations we endure
When i watched this show, i cried every time jinx cried because her emotional reactions are so visceral. Can anyone else relate?
‘Eye staby thing’
The fact that Silvio was a lowkey decent dad tho.. like he was evil but kinda not the worst father
Great show, thank you for this content, so many sessions to get through 2h video, but I gobbled it up!
Oh boy. It's time to cry again!
damn, what a ride! and yes - I am talking about your video. but Arcane did come close too... 😀
I just found your channel and I have to say I absolutely adore you and your content. Top shelf all the way around. Thank you for the goodies!
Hoping you do Catra from She-Ra Princesses of Power 2018
Love the compilation.
Thanks for compiling this in one video in your preferred order. I wasn't sure which video to watch when.
Hope you enjoy it
Uh, what an unexpected surprise! I know how I'll be spending the next 2 hours now. Here we go!
I watched all videos about Jinx and now I watched this one. After a year I still agree with what you say and I’m also amazed with the way how you explain some twisted and not so easy to understand matters in such affable way. I love you and your hard work. I love your characterisations and the research you do for every single character ❤
this show is so heavy, depressing even but so deep and also shiny. :) :(
Fantastic compilation.
These videos have been amazing
I just love your break downs of characters, cant wait for your break down of the Legend of Vox Machina season 2 and how u see the characters evolve in it. (its comming out january 2023)
"yeah yeah yeah, but dont stick to peas, concentrate on the Meat: what do you think of Serial Experiments Lain? "
Again thanks for visiting Arcane again, it's still one of my absolute favorite even though I'm a 57 year old woman living in Denmark. And I have to add that your insight makes it even better 🙂
There are two things that I'm wondering about. First, Vi and Powder crosses the big bridge in the beginning, Why? Is it because they are coming from Piltover or did their parents try to escape and then got killed on the crossing 🤔
Second, Doesn't Jinx have to eliminate the Counsel to not be hunted by them till the end of time. After all, Silco had to give her up to get a deal with Jayce, even though he never wanted to do it. I think that no matter how distressed she might be at the moment she would have to do it anyway. After all, wouldn't she do everything in her power to silence the voices that hunt her when she fights (goes to war, which is more describing, I think)? 🤔
Can you do Warrior Nun? Some very interesting psych to unpack in Ava, who was paralyzed for 13-15 years and then given superpowers. And Beatrice, who experienced homophobia and rejection on a fundamental level and became a perfectionist Catholic nun? And Lilith, whose entire self-worth was buried in an unrealized identity? I could go on
I have two daughters ages 13 and 7. I am considering rewatching Arcane again with my 13yo, but the show is so good at illustrating childhood trauma between sisters, that I’m concerned it might actually create childhood trauma for my 13yo. Revisiting Arcane through your feature-length analysis, moves me to tears. Thank you for being so thoughtful and passionate on your channel.
the amount of work u put into these videos is insane 😭
It's easy to miss, but at 21:10 when Vi stands up to remove herself from the bad situation, Powder covers her face with her arm defensively in response. One punch was all it took to traumatize her and it was immediate.
Beautiful show, beautiful video
Thank you very much!
Loved this!!!
That was an amazing video, thank You so much! It does explain why Jinx seemed so different on the bridge with Ekko and why did she lose. I'm surprised that You didn't mention anything about her killing people and commiting terrorists acts.
Two hours of Georgia??? ...and also two hours of analyzing Jinx...?
Oh yeah!!!
I completely agree with what was being said around 1:13:00 and up,I think the combination of thinking silco lied about Vi,Vi leaving with caitlyn, and finally echo turning on her as well took its toll and she really tried to end it all there
One of my top 2 favorite MC's
1:52:40
I would also think that it's because Silco accepts her as she is
Some things u explained actually helped me umderstand myself a little more big thanks for that
I feel bad for Powder/Jinx, and believe me, I've worked with children before too, but you seem to be making a lot of excuses for Jinx's behavior.
Its heartbreaking, but she crossed a definite line and did need to be stopped.
I love your take on all the characters you cover but there is a certain soft spot for how you break down the characters of Arcane.
Look at the SIZE of this thing. I can't imagine the upload time.
Also, guess my morning listening material is locked in, lol.
Hiii!! I love your videos and this series of therapist reacts! I also have a request tho if you don't mind, have you watched Bojack horseman? I think it'd be a great series to start but also has 6 seasons! So I know if it would be too much lol again LOVE YOUR CONTENT KEEP IT UP 💕💕💕💕
Yeah Bojack is ripe for therapist analysis! Every character needs therapy badly haha
Tell Powder to protect their home so they have something to come back to. (Honestly, Powder, I don't trust the guys not to blow this place topside. I need to keep an eye on them. Powder, you're the only one I trust to keep our home safe from the enforcers. And when we get back with Vander, we're gonna need this place intact. I'm counting on you, Powder. You're the only one I can trust for this.)
I love watching your things, and love how you didn't dignose Jinx with what you think is happening to her psychologically. It is what I try to do when I do my own character anayslis into another character with abandonment issues just like Jinx and argue with someone on Reddit about it. And I love how you go into not only your professional opinion on all characters, Vi, Jinx, Ekko, Caitlyn, Silco, and Vander, but really give a clear picture of what is happening.
Can you do a psychotic breakdown of what is going on in Violet's head in the video game Telltale's The Walking Dead in the final season? I would love you to break down what she is battling with as I can tell she suffers much like Jinx on abandonment issues, and an interesting thing I am finding out is how she cradles her ex-girlfriend Minerva over Clementine. The same way Silco does to Jinx on the bridge when Jinx is hurt. Violet does the same with Minerva after she shoots an arrow to Minnie to save Clem. Would love your dissection of what is happening in that scene and why Violet chose to embrace her ex instead of her new love Clementine if you chose to romance Clem with Violet. Violetentine fans can't answer me on that one.
I see Nazeem finally got to the Cloud District...
Having lived a lot of similar childhood trauma and accrued many of the same scar Jinx has. Taking out the council was her last piece of hope being used. She knew she was turning full stone heart. Feeling that last shred of hope that no one would have to feel what she has felt. Eliminate the base root issue. The people that have been the source of opposition for every trauma and turning point in her life, The Council. Silco couldn't get what he wanted because of them. Vi was in jail, because their forces took her and then have Vi someone more important then Jinx. Echo had to fight her to save his situation which arose because of them. The only constant in anyone getting what they wanted, the Council.
Doc you need to be the Jujitsu Ms. Myagi as a character in this show to bring Jinx back to the Light Side of the Force.
