    In the very first episode of the show, Powder saw a blimp and said "One day, I'm gonna ride one of those things." I strongly believe she's still alive. That last shot is there for a reason.

    What makes jayce and Viktor's relationship sadder is that they are no alternate timelines where both of them are happy without meeting each other. If they never met, Viktor could die from his illness, and jayce could never create hextech. Their 'happiest' timeline is the one where Viktor almost ends humanity and they both sacrifice themselves to save it.

    • @alexie5201

      Not only Jayce wouldn't create Hextech, he'd probably end up killing himself like he was going to before Viktor interrupted him. So one way or another, both of them end up dead, but in this timeline they at least have each other in their "afterlife" or whatever it was they went to. Sad and hopeful at the same time.

      @@alexie5201 So basically the theory is that Jayce didn't go to the 'nice' timeline shown in Ep 7 like Heimer and Ekko, because in that timeline after Vi didn't make it out of the lab, Viktor doesn't come forward to help Jayce therefore no one stops Jayce at his balcony and Jayce has no physical body to inhabit in that timeline.

      ...It's still ambiguous to me: maybe by "killing" Viktor he caused the start of events leading to Viktor causing the end of the world. There is still doubt in my mind that Viktor would whatever happened have causes the arcane end of the world. He wanted to save the humanity in Vander rather than progress his cause by allying with singe and Ambessa, and risked losing everything. It's only after he "dies" that he loses his humanity (represented by Sky's death) for me, and then the end of the world becomes inevitable. So Jayce still has some responsibility in these events (that and inventing hextech and starting it all if course), even if he redeems himself at the end with his sacrifice.

      I find it weird that the writers spent energy to give some of the women their "happiness" but none of the men. Quite the contrary, practically all sacrifice was made by men. Just leaves a stale taste tbh. They started so positively and just reverted to tired old tropes to conclude things.

    She lived! Silko said the only way to break the cycle is for her to walk away. She chose to make everyone think she was dead so that she could break the cycle. If Vi knew she survived she would have done everything to find Jinx, continuing the cycle. You can see a purple line before the explosion due to Jinx's shimmer zoom out of the blast, Cait looking at the hex gate blueprints focusing on the vents, and the airship at the end, referring to Powder's dream of riding one of them in the first episode.

      Right now it's Fortiche's Schrodinger's Arcane basically. We can speculate, we can connect, but until Fortiche really confirms anything, it can go either way. Both can be acceptable. In death Jinx has redeem herself by paying for her crimes. In life if she really is in the blimp, she has the chance to atone in some other way.

She would still need to face the consequences or her action because Caitlyn can't be commanding the law and order if she spared Jinx. Remember, it's not only her mom died, there are 2 other council members who died. If Jinx goes to jail again Vi will again try to save her sister. Jinx already knew this which is why she said in Episode 8 that Vi should be with Caitlyn and be happy.

      Plus the last 2 episodes were building up Jynx's arc as "the only way to end the cycle of violence is to walk a away". it kind of completes her story, realizing that she is the cause of pain around her, and despite always being terrified of being alone, finally getting the strength to overcome that and leave alone, is a pretty good character conclusion that I don't think the writers would have missed.

If you can't see the purple lights, pause it at 1:45 or 1:56 of that episode. Her monkey bomb is a combination of Chemtech, Hextech and Shimmer ...

      It is interesting for me to see comments like this. I feel like season 2 act 3 was the worst writing done in television history. Even worse than season 8 of game of thrones.
      I felt like nothing was explained about the Arcane and the anomaly, can you really tell me what it is and what it wants? Jinx locks Vi in the cell and is ready to go kill herself, all while noxus and Victor is about to end the whole world for some reason. And then just one minute later Vi and Cait is banging it out xD. And all the drama between them is just gone with one line from Vi, “I don’t care”. Just like the writers didn’t care lol. Ambessa that is supposed to be a smart strategic general somehow doesn’t see the danger with Victor? And she is all about family and still fight with her daughter to death???? The black rose, what is the black rose and why should I care? They don’t explain anything. Aaaaand somehow the story line, the whole central point of the WHOLE show, the conflict between Piltover and Zaun gets resolved within 2 seconds by a speech by Jayce about they having to get together to save the world xD??? It is so cringe and lazy writing… I can’t.
      I honestly cried of sadness after watching the end of season 2. It was soooki bad.
      Please tell me. What was even remotely good about the season ending??? I need to know😭

    I think ,Jinx isn't dead ,just faked it ( similiar to how Batman did in the end of the dark knight rises & Batman Arkham Knight Video Game). Don't underestimate her shimmer powers & that hextech orb she took from Vi's gauntlet. Plus the glitchy THE END credits' text /font style is similiar to her Graffiti.
    She may have done What ghost/vision of Zilco told her to do in epi.08 : walk away to end the cycle between her & Vi. And that maybe what her intention was walked away from the city which is lot easier to do when the world thinks she's dead. She has a good reason for that ,which is searching for new hope since there's nothing left for her in piltover & undercity.
    But I don't wanna get Y'all' hopes up too much ,since this is just a theory. We just have to wait until Riot Games fullfill the promise on spin offs in time.

    I think Viktor was trying every possibility of Jayce being able to discover Hextech and become friends with him and not destroy humanity. The successful timeline we saw was Jinx stealing the crystals, so Jayce got blown up (or kicked out) and Viktor died of his illness. They never become friends and partners. And I think Warwick was special because he had the animal parts. Episode 8 we saw Vanders memories destroyed, but Im sure theres still some beastly part still in there that Viktor didnt completely turn into just a robot like the others.

    so about the timeline where jayce ended up is where ekko decided not to go back in time to save his universe and that was the reason why viktor took his time to see jayces memories he was baffled from having two hexcores in one universe and the future viktor knew this so he put jayce back on a timeline where ekko went back ( ie. that's why when viktor first held jayce he never tried to read his memories cause he thinks he knew everything)
    Edit : basically the Big intersection of this series was when heimerdinger went out of the upgraded z drive cause he knew it can't carry two people so it's either he stays in the body of that ekko or he grabs his old body and goes back he probably realized this when heimerdinger vanished
    Edit to edit vander came to life cause he is basically the complete life form he can regenerate beyond death but now he has no memories he is basically a new born child with wolf tendencies and when he woke up he was in a lot of pain.

    Imo, Jinx survived and chose to leave the source of her cycle of trauma. There's too much evidence, the streak of her shimmer flash just before Warwick(Vander) is blown up. During Caitlin's inspection of the Hexgates ventilation she smirks and in the midst of narration 'Our story is not over' the remnants of the monkey grenade is highlighted. In front of the fire she's conflicted when asking Vi if she's still in the fight, since she doesn't know whether or not it's best to inform her of what she knows. And there's influential scenes with Jinx where she listens even after stating they're too late. To Silco, while in the cell: 'I think the cycle only ends when one finds the will to walk away.' The known and unknown conversations between her and Ekko. 'No matter what happened in the past it's never too late to build something new.... Sometimes to make a leap forward you have to leave a few things behind.' Solidified with the final shot, being of a blimp Jinx imagined one day flying away on from the very beginning.

    Is no one gonna talk about how Singed won it all? Man was one of the primary instigators of the story: He created Shimmer, created Warwick, was responsible for producing super soldiers for Ambessa and mentoring Viktor. And yet he not only walks away unpunished, he even managed to get his daughter back. To me that kinda undercuts alit of the cautionary tale that Arcane says it is.

    • @theoutsider8745
      @theoutsider8745 Месяц назад +7

      I think that's very much in line with Singed's story. No matter how hard you try to fight what you believe in, the asshole always gets away with it.

    • @FelipeF78
      @FelipeF78 Месяц назад +2

      In the lore, Singed still has a few more atrocities left on his checklist, so it makes sense if Riot wants to follow up with another show. But even sticking just to Arcane, I think it works very well.
      Singed never lied to or betrayed anyone. After parting ways with Heimerdinger (presumably without backstabbing the guy, unlike Jayce), he honestly offered his services to people who wanted it, delivered on all his promises, and just went home to work on his side projects and read books to his dead daughter.
      Did he facilitate most of the tragedies in the entire show? Yes, and he did it out of sheer commitment to a colossal task, toiling in the background with no illusions about himself, and no delusions about his goals.
      Among the antagonists, it wasn't Silco’s violent revolution, the Chembarons' insatiable greed, Cait's grief-driven authoritarianism, Ambessa’s unbridled ambition, or Viktor's immense power that succeeded. It was Singed's "patience is a product of age, both of which I possess in abundance”.

    In S01E01 around 05:22, Powder says "One day I'm gonna ride in one of those things", as a blimp passes overhead paralleling how the show ends with the same shot. We also see a shimmer streak moving away towards the top right of the screen just before the explosion goes off, suggesting Jinx cheated death so Vi would move on and she wants to walk away to end the cycle like Silco says in S02E08 - 21:30, as we also see Cait is looking at the blueprint of the vents while holding her monkey bomb fragment, indicating the same.

    28:09 That quick glance at the cooling ducts is right about where Jinx and Vander "exploded". There's a chance that Jinx may have shimmered towards that area and survive. But we'll never know because there's no 3rd season of Arcane.

  • @evilwelshman
    @evilwelshman Месяц назад +4

    I feel Arcane Season Two was Fortiche taking the opportunity to produce a demonstrator to show off the different visual styles they can produce and deliver; as a way to promote the studio for future (licensed) projects. Much of their history revolves around League of Legends and I imagine they want to be able to expand beyond it so that they aren't completely reliant on Riot / LoL. Likewise, the two season endpoint was an external (rather than narratively driven) decision; perhaps either by Riot (e.g. due to the cost of the show) or Fortiche (e.g. wanting to explore / move onto new projects).

  • @sakurap95
    @sakurap95 Месяц назад +2

    Seeing Vi zone out and cry over Vander’s body… Jinx finally gets how much pain Vi was in. “You can’t save him.” And Vi still doesn’t respond. And then we get the shot of Vander’s bleeding head from Vi’s perspective that night! We, the audience were on the left, but now we see from Vi’s POV on the right.
    Jinx finally understands how Vi is not as invincible as she thought. She knows now Vi didn’t consciously choose to slap her that night, she was mentally overwhelmed with the pain of losing Vander. That reframing of the events that night is just gorgeous!

    3 arcs with 3 episodes over 3 season would have been perfect. I still think it's a great show overall but one more season to let some of the stories play out and develop a little bit more would have elevated the show from just great to excellent.

    • @LadyDoomsinger
      @LadyDoomsinger Месяц назад +1

      Agree. Season 2 should've focused almost entirely on the Piltover/Zaun (and Vi/Jinx) conflict, and Season 3 should've been reserved for the Glorious Evolution (and Jayce/Viktor) stuff - with the Black Rose side plot possibly sprinkled in throughout both seasons.

    • @ndubuisiamadi
      @ndubuisiamadi Месяц назад +8

      I agree to an extent. I just can't shake the feeling that another season would've unintentionally added some fluff that would've made some viewers tired of the show. I felt like a movie after the 2nd season would be better. Could be wrong though.

  • @barriath8841
    @barriath8841 Месяц назад +2

    34:00 I belive so too. Jayce had the runestone with him that looked suspiciously like the time rune that ekko had circled out in that other dimension. So Ekko and Heimerdinger who did not have that "protection" were sent to a completely different timeline as mentioned by Heimerdinger, while Jayce got anchored in the same timeline but got displaced in time whatever amount of years forward.
    EDIT: Question is.....how many other timelines got destroyed by Viktor's pursuit to find that one solution? At least we know there are other outcomes that are "happy" to some degree. After all, the world ending Void is still a major thing after all. Let's just hope that other Powder manages to somehow developed Hextech with a much safer outcome. Otherwise poetically I wonder if Ekko ended up burning Powder's name not for his version but the other timeline.

    • @CarloInProgress
      @CarloInProgress Месяц назад +1

      Regarding happy outcomes... my interpretation is that even the "happy" timeline we saw is doomed because alternate-timline Ekko visited and introduced the concept of the anomaly to powder, who was constantly being pushed to live up to her potential as an inventor. That could explain why episode 7 closes with the shot of the gemstones in her drawer. In the "happy" timeline the explosion at Jayce's apartment still happens, so I think that means Viktor gave him the gemstone fragment and it was another timeline is ultimately doomed. The only timeline that "succeeds" is the one we watched play out through both seasons.

    😂 one interesting thing is that when the explosion happens there is one frame when a purple light dashes out(we know that powder is shimmered up) and no you cannot find it by pausing. Also when Ekko burns the paper I'm pretty sure its Heimerdinger's as there is only one paper. Caitlyn is also looking at the escape route in the tunnels and smiled at that moment.
    And i know the last scene was purposefully there as in S1E1 powder says "I will ride one of those someday" and in the last scene we saw the air balloon and knowing the attention to detail and foreshadowing arcane does.

    I dont think you understood the implication of the events of the alternate universe. Vi being dead while they were breaking into jayce's office means jayce never got into the academy and perhaps viktor never got to save jayce when he was about to finish himself. And ultimately viktor's diseases caught upro him and he died as well.

    We can see Jinx leaving right before the explosion and we can see Cait looking at the ventilation system of the Hexgates holding a piece of the bomb (aka: if the bomb din't disintegrate there should have been a body) realising Jinx faked her own death and smiling. Being happy Jinx lives closed Caitlyn's character arch.
    And Jinx did that so she can free Vi, but she didn't commit suicide to BREAKE the cycle.

      Raum could be doing this on his own but more likely he’s currently taking orders from the Black Rose (his previous “owners” before Jericho Swain was tempted by Raum to take a Faustian bargain specifically with visions of the cabal he currently works for, which J.S. thought were defeated long ago by him)

    The scene where Jinx dies is absolutely amazing. Heartbreaking but so amazing. Vi is grieving in the worst place possible, she calls out Vanders name while he's attacking her because she simply refuses that he's changed. than while Jinx is begining to sacrifice herself Vi dosent HAVE to say a word, you can see a million words vibrating through her eye, begging Jinx not to but also realizing what Jinx is about to do.
    Than in the next scene we see Vi she's humming the same song that Jinx use to sing about their mother. There were lots of hate going around that it's out of Vi's character and I think it's poetic, because it IS outside of Vi's character to sing but she's doing it out of grief to reminisce Jinx and her family. She's not singing, she's grieving in a healthy way finally

    Just a note for you. The 3 eyed raven at the end belongs to a Champion called Jericho Swain. He is currently part of the leadership of Noxus, where Mel and Ambessa originate from. Hes actually been around throughout the entirety of the 2 seasons as what his raven sees he sees and there were ravens popping up all throughout this series. If you read the lore of Noxus its currently being led by the Trifarix, 3 leaders who symbolize the principles Ambessa was teaching Caitlin during her training. Mel is on her way back to Noxus as the 4th principle i.e 4th leader which could lead to division/war in the kingdom itself.
    So yes they have something in the works which is huge as you have the lore of Noxus, Demacia, and Ionia to explore with Noxus being at this core. So Arcane is no more but something more Revenant is on the way.
