Vi didn’t even realize she was starving until that cupcake hit her tongue.
like the song!
Nice reference to Hailey's song
@@derpymakari i wasnt the only person who got that reference
@@aliencatmeow that song's engraved in my mind since we had it in the setlists for our gigs back then lmao
Wait help me i dont get it😅
Mel looks like a goddess in this act. It’s so crazy.
Facts!!!
Mel is a goddess
She looked like a goddess for the whole show! 😂
"There's no good version of me"
Little did she know Jinx is the best and most amazing version
Little did she know last episode was a literal good version of her
Yo what? 😂 Jinx has murdered several people. What a crazy statement when episode 7 gave us a glimpse of what the actual best version of her could’ve been.
@@julianmorning original one is the best version of Jinx that is why we're seeing her story and not Powder's
@@Hushnowrest it’s the more interesting story, not the best version of that person. I’m mean, she’s a murderer lol.
@@julianmorning what does that have to do with anything? She being murder doesn't change anything, that only means she's not a good person but it's the best version of character that is why it is interesting, that is why she is legend, that's the thing about her, all the imperfections makes her perfect, even after all her flaws she's still amazing, that is why it's the best version
Bruh, imagine being the guard walking in on Cait and Vi.
Imagine how awkward it'd be seeing your boss do the naughty in a prison cell
I'd walk out to be respectful, and then mentally encourage my boss to get some with a proud smirk on my face before leaving.
I'd walk out to be respectful, and then mentally encourage my boss to get some with a proud smirk on my face before leaving.
Interesting that, of all people, Silco is the one that tells Jinx to walk away from the cycle of killing in her hallucinations
Part of that may be because Jinx subconsciously wanted Silco to walk away from his goals and reunite with Vander. When they read the letter Vander left for Silco, she wondered what would've happened if Silco was able to read it.
@@idiosyncrasy7703 Ooh, that's a good point! It's interesting as well that Silco's eye is a different color, could represent this is much more Jinx herself speaking through Silco
Vi and Caitlyn's special scene becomes hilarious when you remember what she said to Caitlyn in Season 1.
'Hmm... Undercity's gonna eat you alive.'
Damn 😂 I forgot that line
Bruh lol
Subtle foreshadowing moment lmao
And Kait met Vi in a still water jail cell
Useless gay scene which is not developing characters in any way and not adding something in main story. Typical modern american way to show something like that
I NEVER HATED YOU MY GLOURIOUS KING JAYCE!!!!
I do, he's a pain the ass on toplane lol
@@RenegadeSamurai Victor was me when I got hit by a Jayce empowered q 2 years ago
I'VE BELIEVED IN HIM SINCE THE BEGINNING AND MY KING DID NOT DISAPPOINT
JAYCE HATERS REALL QUIET RN🗣️‼️
@@FanaticGam3r not really lol he didn't change anything by attacking victor, it almost played out the same if it wasn't for Ekkos intervention there. The future he was so scared of almost became reality there too.
Be it that Victor wanted him to do that in a way.
Mad respect to you for being able to provide, while I’m over here struggling to function normally.
Can't believe this is the last Act for Arcane. I want more 😭😭😭
This is the end of " Arcane " but not the end of the story. I'm thinking Ekko, Vi, Cait and Mel will show up again in future stories.
@@Kosmisch1987I doubt that the next LoL projects will also play in Zaun and Piltover. This setting is so small compared to literally everything else in Runeterra. Maybe Mel will get a Noxus story, considering what the last thing we saw of her was. They opend up a big thing with introducing the Black Rose and Swains crow.
@@AlphariusCLH I didn't say the direct next project.... i said you will see them again in the future. It's almost a given
@Kosmisch1987 I mean yeah, but probably not for some time.
@@Kosmisch1987 maybe Mel but i doubt Vi, Cait or Ekko
I definitely agree with the commentary on the fact Arcane required a third season. The second season wasn't exactly rushed, as some suggest, but a lot was happening off screen, especially with the firelights and jinxers; the latter of which we see nothing of in that revolutionary context again after Paint the Town Blue. They had so many cool concepts and story points, I wish they gave themselves more time to flesh it out, even if it just meant making each episode 10 or so minutes longer
Think my jaw dropped and i was grinning like a fool at that vi and cait scene 😂❤❤😊
After s2, I miss s1 Viktor so much 😭
Right?! 😭😭😭
Fucking amazing series. Masterpiece 100%
Act 3 is peak, idc what other pp say
1000%
Lmao. Up until the final act, sure.
This show was just immaculate, it was one helluva ride y'all!!
@@nonyourbusiness165fr like MAYBE it was a lil rushed to some ppl, however i still found every act phenomenal and enjoyable🤷♀️ sucks for ppl who didnt like it, but boohoo, i had fun watching😹
*cough cough* Every CaitVi shipper casually losing their shit *cough cough*
Oh a certain Not-So-Average-Fangirl will be taking liberties to rewind and freeze frames certain parts of this episode for sure. If ya know ya know.
Hahaha we were shipping them sooo much, we're so happy they're back together!!
@@mimic1984 elijah will *lose* her shit
@mimic1984 she is going to die 😂
@@mimic1984 What do you think she'll have? A party? A mental breakdown?
This series is so amazing. It will always be remembered as a great show
Always something in Arcane, giving us heartbreak and fiery passion all at once💔🔥
Look I know it’s stupid to state the obvious, but every time I watch an episode this always comes up in my mind: “The animation is UNREAL.” 😧
Mel is definitely becoming a champion in league. If Ambessa is now a champion, she's surely to follow. 💜
Cannot wait for that!!
Definitely mage/support with some attack deflection skills
@@OfficialMediaKnightsalso, Evolved Warwick needs a skin
We finally get our Noxian support class filled haha
@@xandersorrows7341 100% and I can't wait. I main support. And she looks right up my okay style. Aggressive but protective
Y'know...Episode 8 of season 1 talked about Oil and Water...Episode 8 of this season is gonna go over different liqu...you know what no, I'm not finishing that joke. 💜
If you remember end of episode 6 that basically sums up Viktor´s motivations, he truly believes that the issues of humanities are all caused by emotions. Love, hate, anger ...constant cause of tragedies and mistakes, hence the "glorious evolution" is to rid people of what causes them to stray....the evolution lays in besically making us machines that can always make the right choice coz we wil never be swayed by emotions.
Of course tho there lays the question whether this is even evolution or just replacement of humanity by hextech. I think most of us get why keeping our humanity is important, but also...as a generation that sees how humans are getting replaced by bots, we see humanity constantly repeating the same mistakes of wars.....questioning whether humans can ever make it actually work .... we can also understand why its so easy for Viktor to lean into this next step of evolution, as it almost feels like a step outside of a cycle.
"I will not sacrifice his humanity for your cause"
He did not tbh. His humanity died when they put a hole in Viktor's chest. He just elevated the monster.
@@theashwinijha 100% agree! Viktor used to act on his compassion but after Jayce shot him, he only acts on his own needs.
@@theashwinijha Yall cannot be fr rn. That man was turning people into mindless zombies and then actually turning them into zombies amd wanted to do that for the whole world because he believed in some "Glorious Evolution".
@@Joshy-n1mu do realize that when jayce shot him he decided to abandon his Humanity, in this episode we see more of "Victor" still trying to act like he used to but he slips up when he talks to sky. He specifically calls her miss young as like they weren't on a first name basis in s1 and when he says he will miss their talks and she says no you won't imply that Victor has no emotions bcs as he said in the end of ep 6 last week, humanity its inescapable the doctor was right.
Like the people he healed weren't mindless in act 2 its only if he decides to erase their will but bcs Victor in act 2 was pretty much still himself he didn't act on that but when jayce shot him he abandoned that path and went with this instead. However do not take this as saying jayce shouldn't have shot him, no jayce simply saw the consequences should victor decide to abandon his emotions so he did what he had to do. What im saying is we don't know if Victor would have chosen this path had he known the future jayce saw. I think talking to vic in act 2 about the things he saw could've made a difference tbh instead of shooting on sight.
@@jamesbrook9815exactly. Spoiler. For a finale
If Jayce was able to bring back Viktor's humanity while he was in his machine herald form and convince him to change his mind, then he would have easily convinced hextech Jesus Viktor to change his action too, especially since in act 2 Viktor is still desperately trying to cling to his humanity and only being betrayed and hurt by Jayce makes him decide to reject it.
Btw Jayce did know that Viktor can be saved because he talked with an older saved version so why tf did he even shot him in the first place?
I actually had more anxiety about going into Act 3 for nothing more than what happened between Cait and Vi. Seeing the end of Episode 3, and then the whole Maddie issue at the start of Episode 4 affected me WAY more than I ever imagined it could. I literally spent a WEEK obsessing over it!!!
Thank god for Eipsode 8!!!!
Sky's last words gave me chills... because the man who she once loved and stayed with, is turning into something worse
You got it right here, Victor's mistake was assuming he cold take each next step with the mentality with which he took the previous step. He assumes that each new stage of his own Glorious Evolution he will be the same 'man', without realising that each step he tkeshe steps frther fm humanity, and thus sees less of the moral implications of the evolution he is forcing.
Mel has to have one of the best animated character designs I’ve ever seen!
When you're depressed, watch Arcane
You'll still be depressed, but for different reasons
Also Vanderwick transformed to Warwicktor, that was fun
we definitely earned that cait and vi scene
Just been sitting and refreshing my RUclips page for the last hour waiting for this reaction to drop, love that you're so quick with it
Aw thank you so much, you're so kind!! Working hard on the season finale now!
i just realised that Vander and Viktor both died as humans, then they were changed by force without theit will, one was "healing" others, another was destroying everyone, but they still had their own sould deep down, but now they both died again and for good.
Vi and Cait are officially my favorite lesbian couple.
Both of you: "She's not eating."
Me: "heh, jinx."
After seeing the hell he went through in ep 7, I owe Jayce a BIG apology
Also, I'm pretty sure the Black Rose entity is voiced by Minnie Driver
Is Denise editing all these? If so thank you! Denise is faster than Jinx in these edit goddam
One could say that vi got a taste of that cupcake HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAA
Help im in such pain
No, she ate the whole cupcake
It was a fun ride!
It really was!!
That’s what she said
I love the soundtrack and 'The Line' by twenty one pilots fits so well in this episode when Victor starts his evolution. excited to see the music video for that song when its released in a few days
Let's at least takee comfort knowing somewhere in an alternate universe, Powder is sane and happy. She doesn't have her sister, but it's still better than this.
22:18 REAL lolol😭
I have to say, you two have the most wholesome reaction to Arcane so far (and I've watched a lot of reactions haha). You've earned a subscriber hehe. Keep up the good work. Shout out from Brazil : D
I misread it as "Killing is a cyclone" when I started the episode, and was accordingly concerned.
-Season 2 Episode 8 The Line Lyrics (Vocals by Twenty One Pilots):
[Chorus]
My body's on the line now
I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over
If I cross the line?
[Verse 1]
Take a seat
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
So stay with me because
[Chorus]
My body's on the line now
I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over
If I cross the line?
[Verse 2]
Honestly
I thought I was fully prepared for
The threshold in store
Stay your pretty eyes on course
I guess I never really faced my fears before
So stay with me because
[Chorus]
My body's on the line now
Pull the blanket tight now
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over
If I cross the line?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Please don't let them see me
Sure there's nothing left to try
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over
If I cross the line?
[Outro]
If I cross the line
If I cross the line
💜
You'd think Tarantino wrote the script based on how much feet are shown in act 3 xd
So Mel will be a support character, with shield and cc. Damn, I can't wait for her to get in the rift. 😂
It's official, this show has the best made-for-series soundtrack I've ever heard. 💜
The soundtrack is absolutely amazing!!
I enjoyed Vi and Kaitlyn's scene in the cell for the...plot yeah the plot let's go with that
WHAT A EPISODE WOW
As soon as I saw the crow following Mel around, I knew that was Swain watching!
I think Viktor is different because of the arcane. If you remember, when Jayce, Ekko and Heimerdinger were discovering about the arcane's fingerprints, Heimerdinger was mentioning how he saw corruption when something had to do with the arcane, he said that he thought it was humanity that made bad things happen but he said that maybe it is a property of the arcane itself.
This is THE GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!
this act had me crying so much, and the last episode absolutely broke me😭😭😭
“The Undercity is gonna eat you alive” takes on a WHOLE new meaning. 😂😂😂
Just another comment for the algos😊 I can’t believe they brought Stromae in last episode to pump it up with 21 Pilots singing “have I crossed the line?” In this one… I love this show so much ❤ and super thankful, being alone, I can ride this journey with your reactions too! Thanks a lot, Knights❤
LET'S FREAKING GO!!!!!🎉🎉,
Been waiting for this since you guys drop episode 7❤❤❤
I don't think I've ever paused a show so many times because of the emotions it makes me feel. This fckng series is overwhelming!!. In a good way, of course 😉.
God I love you guys❤🔥Not only you are one of the best reactionists on RUclips, But you're SO QUICK WITH IT!
it was soooooo gooooood!!!!! I don't understand why they wont make a third season!!!! Animation is awesome, charcters, plot, everything!
I think you would enjoy the original Universal monster movies too. Dracula, Frankenstein (1931) The Invisible Man (1933) The leading lady love interest in the movie. Played very old Rose in Titanic (1997) too! The Wolfman (1941) and the (2010) very gory realistic version The Wolfman.
My favourite reaction channel ❤ I am going to miss this series
Such an amazing reaction! Havent started yet, but i feel it in my nuggets
Haha thank you so so much, it means the world to us!! ❤️
This is the best amazing series ever love it you both are phenomenal reaction couple ever
Thank youuuu, we have been loving this show so much!! Thank you for joining us!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsabsolutely no problem keep it up
Just finished watching this episode, reaction guys RUclips always make reactions the best.❤❤
“The undercity will eat you alive” (Vi in season 1 to Caitlin)
It's so good to watch your reactions in this wonderful series, I feel very represented by your reactions in each scene ❤
Viktor wasn't seeing anything. He was hesitating. He didn't want to kill Jayce and his humanity leaked through.
I honestly wish there was a better way to my Vander to rest. With everything he once was, now burnt away..reduced to nothing but ash. But at least he was able to hold on one last time until his final demise. Vander was and always will be my most favourite character. He reminds me a lot like my own dad. 💛
Oops autocorrect haha, I meant to lay*..lay Vander to rest.
Enforcer in the streets, mongoose in the sheets
The finale was peak!
This show is so good!!!!!
Also Zaun and Piltover are only a small part of lol. So the next show will not be about this very sad
Now I understand why people been calling it rushed. It's definitely is.
But it wasn't that bad of a show. People just exaggerating. The story is good, that's it.
19:44 there is. Champion named "jhin" plays piano. You can watch league of legends cinematic named "awaken"
It defenitly wasn't Jhin ,Jhin is from Ionia ,not from piltover
@toamszkozak8822 yes of course. I am not saying that was jhin in the arcane. I mean there is a champ in the game that plays piano
I love Vi and Caitlyn but smashing in the same cell jinx was held captive in is insane, especially right after jinx basically said “alright im gonna go end my life”
I think you both would enjoy watching these movies. King Kong and Son of Kong both released in (1933). Godzilla King of the Monsters (1956) American version with TV star character actor Raymond Burr TV's iconic super lawyer Perry Nason and later Ironside. You will see where Godzilla Minus first came from. Ironically Raymond Burr is a reporter named Steve Martin!
32:46 Beware of getting in debt with LeBlanc ! 😁
possible spoilers below:
I think we got an amazing set up for the nest series throughout act 3 - it didn'r turn out quite like I expected with the Black Rose (I absolutely loved LeBlanc's visualisation in Arcane though !) but it's a neat wrap for now and together with the Raven appearing a great foundation to hop over to Noxus (& Ionia?)
I love how Viktor basically becomes Ermac.
Here we go, all aboard the arpain train!
Ahhaha pain train indeed!
As a 12-year CaitVi stan -- we won, everyone!
Vi x caitlyn scene was weird af, jinx is about to unalive herself meanwhile vi is going down on her ex in that dirty ah cell
The hateful 8 and Shutter island are 2 movies you should definitely watch.
Viktor wanted peace and the best for humans but things unity is the way to go through with that and it settling what he thought was best forget what made humans humans. Their humanity, emotions, free will to make choices and mistakes by their own will. His worldview was really messed up but he isnt doing this because he is mad at the world or something like that.
The finale's gonna break our hearts...I just don't see this working out for everyone. (Haven't seen the finale yet.) 💜
I stayed up until midnightto watch this whole act and now that it’s ended, I feel dead inside
19:42 this lokks hella like Jhin reference... I wonder...
Vi to Caitlynn in season 1: Undercity's gonna eat you alive.
Vi didn't lie... Undercity ate up Caitlynn :D
Mel is such a baddie in this season like 😭
Could Mel possibly be more beautiful? Riot: YES.
This episode made me so anxious
"Oh you wench!" Killed me 😂😂
I loved ep 8! But dose anyone know what that song was when vi and cait were doing it?
"Fantastic" by King Princess
@hungryrabbiddawg thanks!
"Glorious Evolution"
I mean in season 1 Vi did tell Cait the underground would eat her alive
Giggity giggity
"How do you take these off" XD
THE GIRLFRIENDS ARE BACK YIPEEE
this episode was my favorite 😛
Great series the relationships are pulling together. But also growing apart
Amazinggggg... Twooo in one day...one suggestion... Plsss also check Troll hunter: tales of Arcadia... Y'all might like it.... All the best to y'all.... Love from Indiaa
Its like you missed the whole Ambessa thing they thought her son was the kid with magic but he wasn't so she took him and killed her son Ambessa let them believe that her son was the kid they was looking for to save her daughter so she sent her away to protect her from black rose bc they would not stop looking for her Ambessa did nothing but have a kid with a mage so they took her son and everything she owned you guys call yourself writers but you missed the whole point of what she was saying Ambessa has done everything to protect her family she slapped Mel because Mel disrespected her in the fact that she cares about her family she wants revenge for the death of her son who did nothing wrong.
19:41 That guy is probably Jhin
I think one more season would be too much imo. Maybe one more act or 2 season with 10 episodes each... Because of how often people complain about filler episodes in pretty much every show out there, I have a feeling people would be complaining about filler episodes if there was more. lol People will never be 100% happy.
To me act 3 of season 1 even felt a little rushed at the time. So maybe it was just me... and I agree that there are some scenes and moments that could be better with a little more time, but I actually didn't have that much of a problem with the pacing.
Also, it is the 1st show they created and will learn from that. They weren't sure this show would be such a big hit, even with all the money they pumped into it. When we get the new series of this world (probably about Noxus), I'm sure they'll try and fix some of the pacing issues. If not, then I will agree and probably complain as well lmao.
One thing is for sure tho... the animation will never disappoint us! 😅
Same. I felt the season 1 act 3 a lil bit rushed, especially ep8. I actually think that it's more rush than the act2 of season2. It's just season 2 has more time jump, and skipped some part of the story.
I was really disappointed in Zaun, they are fighting for their oppressors that didn’t even bother apologizing for their misdeeds. Force conscription of the undercity is the most inhumane thing they ever done so far. I hope piltover falls because no one deserves redemption in such a failing city.
