      in the real lore, he has a history of becoming victom to human error and when he invented mind controlling equipment to save divers from themselves, when they panic, he got expelled.
      Then he went depressed so he operated on himself to remove his emotions and therefore human error from himself.
      After another chemtech catastrophe he built blood transfusion devices to save the villagers instead of doing miracle healings. He built automatons in order to save them in case something went wrong.
      But his stuff was not up to the task so he stole a hextech crystal from jayce who then came down and destroyed all of viktors work including the automatons who viktor activated to defend the villagers.
      from hard working self improving peoples hero to mad genocdal jesus.

      Someone pointed out that part of Vi's hesitation at the end of the fight in episode 3 is because Vi realised she was going to repeat what happened to her. If she'd killed Jinx, (as an enforcer), she would have left behind a devastated and orphaned child, exactly like what happened to her and Powder when enforcers killed their parents.

    One story detail someone pointed out was that the councilroom isn't accessible for disabled people. You see an emphasis on this with solums wheelchair hitting the stairs as hard as they do. Must hurt him somewhat.
    But it wasn't one of them that normally would be affected by this so they didn't care about it when building the room.
    Disabled people dont live in piltover (usually).
    Makes you think more about why victor might have preferred staying in the lab rather then going out with sky or anywhere else.

    I like how they portrayed the difference between Piltovers and Zauns(Under city) ability to help disabled people. In the under city, they create prosthetic limbs for themselves and others because missing them or losing them is so common. Piltover doesn't even have a ramp for some of the most important people in the city, (Salo's scene when his wheelchair is clanging roughly down the stairs). It's rare for someone to be disabled in piltover because they have the privilege of less crime, fresh air, food and all sorts of other stuff.

    Now that I've seen the scene several times I think the "do you have any idea how that feels?" "Yes I do" shows a common character flaw most of the Piltover characters have and its privilege.
    On a surface level yes Jinx killing Cait's mom is like the enforcers killing their parents but when you analyze it from a deeper level it's their parents being killed by symbols and agents of oppression and Jinx killing symbols and agents of oppression. Like yes it's not good to kill people I feel in most situations ethically, but asking someone to join the same system that killed their parents when they wanted freedom from oppression is irresponsible and is emotionally unintelligent and something someone from a position of privilege who isn't constantly reminded of the failures of the system would suggest. And we see it throughout the act, Cait's anger and rage overshadowing her ability to empathize or sympathize with the under city because she's so mad at Jinx as a person and ignoring that there's a possibility for hundreds of Jinxs because the system she symbolizes and upholds creates them and she's actively creating them-
    For example, if the kid survived Jinx getting shot (I say if because with how cait was aiming, the hex bullets ability to penetrate and shoot through something cleanly, and the kids position its possible she could have also killed her) all that does is make another Jinx. Not exactly because of the trauma being different, but you just get another individual who saw an enforcer kill someone they care about after gassing the lanes. How many people already want some kind of reparations or justice against Piltover? The Lanes, as shown, is loyal to each other before they'd ever be loyal to Piltover. Heck, last season when enforcers came in pushing through the lanes there was immediate talk about revolution again, the only reason it didn't happen was because Vander was there to settle it. Vander isn't here anymore, the under city is ultimately leaderless outside of the chem barons who care more about finances. They're not gonna stop the revolution unless it's against their interests so who would? Most of the other big players in the under city either 1) also want independence or 2) don't care either way because they have something else going on. The actions of the task force and topside did exactly what Mel warned in episode 1: give the under city a cause to unite against except they already had the cause they just needed another shove.
    Of course this is pure speculation on acts 2&3 based on act 1 and the title sequence but I think Arcane's consistent message about how privilege shapes your views and actions is carrying a lot of weight in act 1 of this season, especially because Vi despite being tough shows compassion to the henchman despite him being a chem baron grunt while Cait is prepared to carve a war path to Jinx through the under city

    • @ccasserole5267
      @ccasserole5267 2 месяца назад +49

      Yup. To add onto your comment -- the very fact that Cait has the authority to lead a strike team of law enforcement into Zaun, using her birthright access to the Grey as chemical warfare, partially in retaliation for her mother's death illustrates just how incomparable Cait's loss of her mother is to Jinx and Vi's loss of both their birth and adopted parents. Vi, hailing from the under city, especially at the age she lost her parents, means they would have absolutely no meaningful way to retaliate or hold the Piltovans/enforcers' to any kind of accountability for their parents' (or any of the citizenry of the Undercity) deaths without being absolutely demolished under the jack heel of the state. Meanwhile, Cait's class position puts her in the perfect place to instrumentalize and weaponize her privilege, not only as a Piltovan and enforcer but as an heir to the Kiraman name, to VIOLENTLY take out her poorly regulated grief/guilt/anger trauma response onto any Zaunite who gets in her way without legal repercussion. In other words, Vi and Jinx experienced their loss and grief in a state of complete situational disempowerment, powerless to either hold those responsible to account or to stop any future carceral violence levied at them or their Undercity-brethren by the enforcers, while Cait situationally can very much act on and weaponize her loss against the one who killed her mother, with very little regard to the consequent casualties as is her status as an enforcer. Yes, Cait's trauma of losing her mother is of course valid. However, her claim of her loss of her mother and Vi's loss of her parents' being somehow circumstantially equal is an admission of Cait's outstanding privilege in the situation and justifies why she so easily slips into becoming the violently oppressive authoritarian dictator she becomes at the end of Act 1.

      I totally see what you’re saying but also, death is death and losses on all sides will affect us and shape us. It’s a tough one but for me personally, I feel that nobody’s pain is lesser or more than someone else’s. Losing a loved one is horrific and the grief that comes with it is tough. Yes, we can say Vi has dealt with a lot more grief and trauma which is factual, but emotionally, who’s to say who’s more hurt? We all deal with said grief in different ways, the way in which we deal with it is where we can go wrong (as we see with Cait). It’s so complex and creates great discussions, which is why I love this show! Thanks for the comment 💗🫶🏼 (again, I totally understand your viewpoint and can see why you’d feel that way.

Whether that idea bears ANY resemblance to reality is another question, but they have one. Cait and Vi's traumas are very different, but they're both real.

    This cabal is the "Black Rose", and the leader is called "LeBlanc" (not real name, no one knows her true name).
    LeBlanc can shapeshift, create illusions, make copies of herself to be at several places at once.

    ok so this is common knowledge in the league of legends fandom but it's new in arcane so i guess slight spoiler

    the thing is that the black rose owns many magical artifacts and i personally think ambessa took an artifact from the black rose to keep her family safe and now pays off the debt
    like i think mel owns something similar to zhonya that turns you invincible for a moment, that's why she and jayce survived with no scratch, like when on the end of the episode 9 s1 when the jinx's rocket was flying, the thing on her neck shimmered. also medardas come from shurima and zhonya's timeglass is an artifact from there

    League of Legends player here! The “wind woman” Jinx mentioned is actually Janna, a champion in the game. She’s basically a wind spirit where it’s been told in Zaun (Undercity) that she protects sailors and is a beacon of hope for the people. My own understanding is that she’s basically a hope for the people to have cleaner air in the lanes before maybe the Kiramman’s gas pipes were made.
    Tbh i really hope that maybe they’ll touch on the Aspects (mystical beings) in the future series, especially at Mount Targon, where most of the celestial beings and their devotees live. Also, for another lesbian couple in there with their Sun and Moon dynamic teehee

      Oh that's so cool, thanks for explaining! I wondered: what is it like for a lol player to watch this? Like, have you anticipated some things beforehand (besides the obvious ones like Vi becoming an enforcer). Do you find Easter eggs or something while watching? How do you feel about the characters?

    • @rinkashi9304
      @rinkashi9304 Месяц назад

      @@TanyasKat Yes, I did! Since these aren’t the final form of the characters yet but also didn’t expect the story to be the same one as the official lore of the game since they’ve said Arcane is not canon in the League of Legends lore. The series was just a way to make other people who aren’t familiar with the game to be engaged with its story I guess! Some easter eggs I found were the one in my comment on top, the black rose and Warwick reveal, Orianna (another champion in the game), and Mel’s ‘powers’. Honestly, the show is beyond my expectations and I’m glad it did, it makes everyone (player or not) appreciate more of its story on its own. Characters are perfect! I was a bit shocked by how things went with Jayce and Viktor since I wasn’t expecting it at all since they look awesome in the game but let’s just see what the writers cooked on Act 3 haha
      Ps. I forgot to add this but as a league player watching this, it's pretty awesome to see a character that you always liked (jinx) be given life and a great story to tell to other people, and I love seeing references that I would get since I play it but then again, the game still has its problems imo 😭 so I don’t play as much anymore.

      Charcoal*
      Normally I wouldn't correct something like this but I feel like it matters here.
      Because drawing with charcoal (in like coal from a fire in thee olden days) takes soooo much more skill and care. It stains and you can't really take it off the paper smoothly.
      Chalk doesn't stain as much, though it's really impressive to draw with it. But your handling with the medium will be totally different.

    one of the things i love is how WELL the first episode gets you into caitlyns mindset and the mindset of piltover in general. you see so much pain and grief that you almost forget that the people of the undercity have been experiencing that same pain and grief x10 and for so, so long. and yet THEY arent the ones with the advanced military or power to exact revenge without going to extremes. it makes so much sense why the council wants revenge, of course they do. but they fail to realize that writing jinx off as just a singular problem or painting the whole undercity as evil is missing the point either way. jinx was not just a "single deranged individual" she was a Direct product of the system and of opression. there would always be a jinx, if not her, then someone else. what she did was wrong, yes, but you can only push a group of people so far before one of them decides to retaliate with violence.

    I'd argue if Piltover's attack on Zaun is justified, because the Chembaron attacked Piltover - Zaun was justified in attacking Piltover, because Jayce led an armed force in a similar attack on Zaun (against Silco's Shimmer factory).
    Which is the whole problem of ever claiming a war - any war - is "justified", because from your opponents view, your justified attack on them, justifies their retaliation.

    Niall you NEED to watch the music videos for "Get Jynxed", "Blood Sweat & Tears", they are the videos that introduced Jynx and Ambessa Medarda as playable characters in the game. Get jynxd is referenced in Ep.2 here, and BS&T has some backstory on Ambessa (that you might want to read on the wiki actually, it can be confusing if you don't know much LoL lore)
    So, one thing is "how did Mel not get hurt when everyone else did?" right? Niall asked at the start of the video, Jayce asks how can he be fine but Viktor almost died.
    I actually have been thinking Mel was going to be ok since the very moment the first season ended, never had any doubts. If you see the bombing scene, you see the council room from the perspective of the rocket, and Mel's back shining because of the Gold contraption she wears. She's a Medarda, there's no way in hell she wouldn't be using protective armor. The gold she uses is definitely a lot stronger and more protective than most assume.
