Another case of Piltovan harm inflicted on Zaun, and Zaun getting blamed for what a Piltovan Alchemist did after being flushed down into Zaun like the rest of the garbage.
In Isha's flashbacks of her and Jinx dancing, Jinx's eyes turned blue again. It happened several times when they were together. The little girl who didn't speak was able to quiet the voices in Jinx's head.
Ambessa overlooking Jinx's blue hair the first time makes more sense when you know that in the game, she's implied to be bisexual, has a preference for pretty men and *buff women.* She was totally checking out Sevika! 🤣
Jinx is fucking WILD this act lol. "Don't think you can swim huh, lefty" "Bitch mittens" "Looks like you've got a couple (of conditions)" Everyone catching jabs when Jinx is around lmao she carries so much of this shows humor its great
I just love how Isha takes to Vander immidiately, trying to protect him as they enter the camp, later she is giving him water. The third daughter, albeit very briefly.
@@geenahreads Oh, also, I'm learning (Mandarin) Chinese, so while I didn't understand all of the lyrics to the final song of episode 6, I picked up enough for it to hurt extra lmao. For those curious, the final line of the song basically means "I'm fine like this", and yeah, oof.
23:00 In S1 it was loosely defined, so there were no wrong guesses. If you rewatch it now while memory is fresh, there are strong retcon vibes with how much S2 portrays both Silco and Vander present in the kids' lives from the start.
No retcon in the show, season 1 and 2 were written togetger as a whole with everything in mind from the start. Details might have changed down the road if course, but i doubt fundamentals like Vanders and Silcos history were conveniently made up after the fact.
@@ahausch1 I know that they were planned that way, but a lot could change between seasons, some stuff might be added, some be left on the cutting room floor. Like I said, if you go back and watch S1 now, paying attention to Vander and (especially) Silco, it doesn't all add up.
@Silly_mcWilly S2 shows us Vander and Silco being part of the kids' lives since before they were born. S1 had only established that Vander and Silco went separate ways after "the bridge". So it wasn't strange for us in S1 that especially Silco didn't show familiarity towards them, but after watching S2 it seems odd. S1 was more "Vander took in his friends' children" rather than "they were already well acquainted, he was basically uncle Vander".
@@douglas2938 Silco killed Vander himself, I doubt he'd care about Felicia and her kids anymore, especially since the cause of Vander’s betrayal (and thus Silco’s villain arc) was the bridge, where she and Connol died. Admittedly, there was no familiarity between Vander and the kids shown in season 1, but there wasn’t unfamiliarity either, so like you said in your original comment, there are no wrong guesses. Season 1 was more devastating now that I knew Silco and Vander had an even crazier fall out than anticipated, and his empathy towards Powder in episode 3 when she jumped into his arms hits even more now. I'm not 100% sure what your point is, but you seem to be saying that the Silco and Vander relationship revealed in S2 had a negative effect on their already established relationship, meanwhile I think it had a positive effect.
It’s sad that Ishas purpose was to heal Jinx and teach her what Vi meant in season 1 episode 3, with the same outcome of losing someone that meant everything to her. Miss you Isha
Two small details: Caitlyn could have cleaned herself in many ways, but she chooses to drag Vi's spit onto her lips with her fist. While Jinx is framed with Caitlyn at gunpoint in the tent, Vi can be heard saying: "Vander is in danger, I have a plan, but you won't like it". I see that so many misunderstand or don't pay attention, but that is Vi who says it to Jinx before she gets captured, so Jinx already knows that Caitlyn is helping her and that's why she defends her
the fact that isha started as this scared little rat hiding in the vents and after meeting jinx she found the courage to throw herself in the way of danger to protect the one she admires and loves
At the start Isha wears yellow leggings and is afraid and constantly running. After being accepted by Jinx, she wears Jinx's Purple leggings and only ever runs into danger, no longer away from danger.
I love your reaction. Especially the little tear during the Isha-Dance. It's good to see an experienced man with such a human gesture. It means that I'm allowed to do it too. I'm 32, and I locked my feelings away a long time ago. For 3 years I've been working hard to let them in again. Arcane and the 62 reaction videos have triggered a lot in me. Every now and then I'm allowed to shed a tear too. And it fills me with joy, because it proves that all is not lost for me.
Your reaction is just the best among the channels I followed. I got emotional during my watch as much as you did. I was on grieving mode after that episode for a whole week and then the last 3 eps happened. Cant wait for your next vid.
16:35 I feel what makes the Jinx mural so emotionally powerful is because Jinx's entire self-perception is that she is a jinx - that she breaks everything and causes everyone around her to die, and so inherently unlovable. However, the mural is proof testament that others - even Zaun as a whole - do not see her like that. That there is another side to Jinx that is a light and that brings hope to others, and is loved by people - qualities that Jinx struggles to see in herself no matter what others keep telling her (until Isha). Even with Silco, Jinx was always worried that his love for her depended on her usefulness to him and was always afraid he would abandon her and/or betray her for something else. Back in Season One, Jinx pinned her hopes on Vi, as her own sister, to be someone who could still love her only to realise that that love too was conditional and had its limits.
I feel you. Isha's death was something. The hallmark of good storytelling imo is how much of it it's left in you after you finish it and for how long it messes you up. Arcane characters, story and narrative is brilliant, and the fact it lingers in you for so long and so intensely after you have finished it, it really speaks on how good it is. It's rare. Another story that broke me for a literal week was when I played The Last of Us.
Don't worry about haters. It is frustrating when someone misses something but that comes from the desire to see that person enjoy the show. Some people really can't put themselves in THIER OWN shoes from like a month ago before they saw it all. As someone with ADHD i miss alot in shows but also pick up on the strangest things. But thats what makes uncovering all the things i missed after so fun. Glad you are enjoying the show! Your videos are great!
Isha's purpose was to heal Jinx and remind her that there was still good in her. Also get ready for emotional ride in act 3. Especially EP 7 is something remarkable.
When Vander went berserk it wasn’t because Viktor died, that was only a small part of it, the real reason why he went berserk is because doctor reveck (singed) was able to inject the serum he made into Vander, causing him to go berserk.
@@oakensiren4423 Sorry, bud, but you're wrong. He 100% did make Vander go berserk. What he does later in future episodes is a completely different concoction. Singed said, very explicitly, that he was going to inject Vander with a serum that would undo Viktor's attempts at re-awakening his humanity. In other words, Singed told the audience, straight up, with no subtlety at all, "I'm going to make the beast as feral as possible." And then he does. On screen. He was literally in the process of doing that exact thing when Caitlin snuck up behind him and tried to choke him out. Once he was free again, he finished injecting Vander, at which point Vander went berserk. You have to be VERY unobservant not to get that.
@@kingofbudokai SPOILERS Again, the part where he uses the serum is in episode 8, same serum, same desired effect, all of Vander's humanity is shown burning away. I do get where you're coming from (singed standing there) and I thought the same until ep 8
You didn't miss anything between Vander, Silco, and Felicia. They definitely come across as a found family and I assume they grew up together the same way as Vi, Powder, Claggor, and Mylo. And it isn't a stretch to imagine that Vander and Silco were both godfathers to Vi and Powder, so that they ended up taking after them is so very fitting. It explains moreso why Silco chose to adopt Powder in the wake of everything that happened in the first act of season 1. Also in terms of how the show makes us all feel, yeah, it's an emotionally devastating tragedy. But that's what good art does, it makes us feel deeply. And when we allow ourselves to feel this deeply, even about something that isn't real, we can learn something that IS real about ourselves. Rest in peace Isha, a light of hope that cannot be dimmed.
@SoulWolf2852 everyone was in a heightened emotional state in that scene. He was angry and ready to kill until he saw in her exactly what he felt towards Vander. I still think that wouldn't be enough to justify adoption by itself, but having previously been a godfather causes it make a lot of sense.
@@seanrilian I don't think he'd been a godfather like Vander. Rather "the other uncle" when their parents were still around. During the period where Vander had a fatherly role Silco wouldn't have met them but it explains a lot if they were familiar before that.
@@Todesnuss yeah. I think Silco got too obsessed about the idea of taking over Zaun at that time. Because if Silco was already somewhat of a godfather figure to both Violet and Powder, Violet wouldn't say that she doesn't know who took Vander in S1E3.
I think you're right about Vander, Silco and Felicia. They are close friends, a "found family". There's nothing indicating anything else. (And you would expect at least some similarity between Vander and Silco if they were actual brothers, but they couldn't really look more different.)
I'm both excited and saddened for you who is the editor as well as the viewer. The writers for Riot games/league of legends do not shy away from death, just take heed for if and when they release more of such masterpieces as Arcane in the future... not that it'll stop us from bawling our eyes out in the end.
The song at the end is just so beautiful, but when I found the official video I couldn’t help but feel the subtitles weren’t doing it full justice. I left my own revised translation of the lyrics in a comment on that video. I’ll repost it here for you, as I feel like you might be the type to appreciate the beauty of this song as well. The title of the song is “{Isha’s song} 这样很好” (zhèyàng hěn hǎo) - can be translated as “It’s alright for things to be this way...” 孩子別 怕荊棘 Háizǐ bié pà jīngjí (Child, Don’t be afraid of the thorns,) 赤著腳 就 能尋到 珍貴 chìzhe jiǎo jiù néng xún dào zhēnguì (Barefooted [across them], is how you will come to find what is most precious) 你看這個 天黑 焰火有多美 nǐ kàn zhège tiānhēi yànhuǒ yǒu duō měi (You see only in these darkest of skies the fireworks in all their beauty) 無需太多 的傷悲 wúxū tài duō de shāng bēi (There's no need for all this sadness) 人本都在 茂盛枯萎 rén běn dōu zài màoshèng kūwěi (We are all bounded by nature, to bloom and to wither) 但頑石和塊壘 也開花蕊 dàn wán shíhé kuàilěi yě kāihuā ruǐ (Yet, even the most obstinate stone and rubble bloom with flowers.) 撥開山嶺 讓她看看我 Bō kāi shānlǐng ràng tā kàn kàn wǒ (Push aside the mountains, let her see me) 告訴繁星 快些照亮我 gàosù fánxīng kuài xiē zhào liàng wǒ (Tell the countless stars to hurry their light toward me) 吹散烏雲 用一抹藍色 chuī sàn wūyún yòng yīmǒ lán sè (Blow away the dark clouds that gaum me in blue) [in parts of China, blue is symbolic of grief and mourning] 那就算 世界滿是荒蕪我們 抬頭就能 看見月亮 Nà jiùsuàn shìjiè mǎn shì huāngwú wǒmen táitóu jiù néng kànjiàn yuèliàng (Even if the world is nothing but desolate wasteland, we can still lift our heads up and see the moon shining) 在我們還是 孩子的模樣 Zài wǒmen háishì háizǐ de múyàng (There was a time that, while we still looked and acted like children…) 做雖千萬人 也要盛開 的孤芳 Zuò suī qiān wàn rén yě yào shèngkāi de gū fāng (…in a field amongst millions, we yearned to bloom with fragrance and splendor [to stand out; become what we were meant to be].) 別再憂傷煩惱 Bié zài yōushāng fánnǎo (Do not tarry in grief or worry) 別忘 Bié wàng (Don’t forget) 就算流淚 也要一直 奔跑 jiùsuàn liúlèi yě yào yīzhí bēnpǎo (Even if the tears flow, keep running forward) 跑到連時 間都 找不到 Pǎo dào lián shíjiān dōu zhǎo bù dào (Run until even time cannot be found) 做天邊的飛鳥 Zuò tiānbiān de fēiniǎo (Be as a bird, flying on toward the next horizon) 撥開山嶺 讓她看看我 Bō kāi shānlǐng ràng tā kàn kàn wǒ (Push aside the mountains, let her see me) 告訴繁星 快些照亮我 gàosù fánxīng kuài xiē zhào liàng wǒ (Tell the countless stars to hurry their light toward me) 吹散烏雲 用一抹藍色 chuī sàn wūyún yòng yīmǒ lán sè (Blow away the dark clouds that gaum me in blue) 那就算 世界滿是荒蕪我們 抬頭就能 看見月亮 Nà jiùsuàn shìjiè mǎn shì huāngwú wǒmen táitóu jiù néng kànjiàn yuèliàng (Even if the world is nothing but desolate wasteland, we can still lift our heads up and see the moon shining) 在我們還是 孩子的模樣 Zài wǒmen háishì háizǐ de múyàng (There was a time that, while we still looked and acted like children…) 做雖千萬人 也要盛開 的孤芳 Zuò suī qiān wàn rén yě yào shèngkāi de gū fāng (…in a field amongst millions, we still yearned to bloom with fragrance and splendor.) 別再憂傷煩惱 Bié zài yōushāng fánnǎo (Do not burden yourself with worry anymore) 別忘 Bié wàng (Don’t forget) 就算流淚 也要一直 奔跑 jiùsuàn liúlèi yě yào yīzhí bēnpǎo (Even if the tears flow, keep running forward) 跑到連時 間都 找不到 Pǎo dào lián shíjiān dōu zhǎo bù dào (Run until even time cannot be found) 做天邊的飛鳥 Zuò tiānbiān de fēiniǎo (As the bird flies off toward the furthest horizon) 別再尋找 Bié zài xúnzhǎo (Do not come searching) 給我一個擁抱 Gěi wǒ yīgè yǒngbào (Give me a hug) 就安靜地忘掉 jiù ānjìng de wàngdiào (Then quietly let go) 我這樣就很好 wǒ zhèyàng jiù hěn hǎo (I’m fine the way I am)
30:03 Oh don't worry.... They didn't mess things up just before they broke through to Vander. The show's creators waited until *_AFTER_* they broke through the Vander. That way we know exactly what was lost and it's 100x the heartbreak.... 😁😁 Damn. This show really be Ar-PAIN......
Gina... I enjoy the energy you have in your reactions. Similar to mine so probably why. The show is an emotional Rollercoaster with extra steps. Episode 7 is probably the only release from all the pain this show deals out.
Regardless of how anyone feels about the em, the antagonists have some of the best lines in this entire show between Singed and Silco… just unbelievable writing to the point that I could really empathize with these characters for their motives.
A lot of people miss the small shot of Singed standing back up in the wreckage after being knocked out, implying he injected Warwick/Vander with the serum that would prevent Viktor from helping him. But I also believe Viktor's death impacted that as well, but mostly the serum.
So, when I watched this season for the second time, I gave myself a challenge for each episode: Don't cry. I lost the game. This show uses magic to manipulate our emotions.
Lol, that voice note at the end is exactly how I feel about the end of Red Dead Redemption 2. Arthur was just a digital outlaw but sometimes it still stings a little, and it's been 6 years
This show is so good. I’ve never cried so much watching anything 😭 can’t wait for the act 3 reaction! One thing I saw someone point out about the hexgate mesh room: the first time Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger were in there they showed just how cold that room is. Every time they talked you could see their breath in the air. And again in ep5, every time Jayce speaks and breathes you can see his breath. But when Salo talked..there’s nothing 🤔
And Honestly, missing out one or two things is the beauty of what makes watching favorite show over and over so enjoyable. Esp since you have to edit too.
People going after you for missing stuff is wild to me. Not only do you tend to catch a fair amount, but when you do miss stuff, you often make it into a little joke in the edit, which is imo a really fun little way to acknowledge it before people need to comment about it and move on. But yea, I mean every reactor is going to miss stuff sometimes, especially in a show like Arcane with so much subtle writing and hints. I certainly missed a lot in my initial watch lol
Also as a sidenote, I love that you actually had no idea about the Vander thing. It was a strong theory that blew up after season 1 (partially based on League knowledge) so I think all the other reactors that I've seen get this far already knew about the theory going in, but since you only watched the show recently, you didn't have those years of being in the community to have it spoiled, and so get a more pure and genuine reaction :D
First off, I am right there with you as far as defending Silco and Jinx to the death. Second, I have concluded that the sole reason this show exists is to hurt people.
Great video ❤️ This show tends to use siblings as one of the fastest ways to tug at everyone's heartstrings💔. Vi & Jinx + Mel & Kino are the prime examples. Also, I know you may hate him now, but believe me when I say that Jayce had really good reasons to kill Viktor. Plus if you wanna blame someone for Vander going berserk, blame Singed (the doctor).
ive been waiting! i think the dynamic between silco and vander is "brothers in arms" like comrades under a shared cause. they're not biological brothers! (i too was emotional throughout the entire 3 episodes lol, and emotional watching u watch them)
Can someone explain to me, what Cait's and Vi's plan is? They get into the camp, Vi catches Ambessa in the net and then Vi just leaves and Ambessa is only minutes behind her. Why do that at all?
Talk to your therapist by all means, but nothing is wrong with you for feeling intense emotion for any of this. I cried like a fucking baby when Vander hugged Vi and Jinx. Not like sniffles and eyes welling up. Like tears, stuffed nose, snot running, balled. This show hits hard.
In some lesser known European mythologies if someone who loves and trusts a werewolf completely calls out their name it's will snap them out of it. I don't know of the show runners knew that. But it's a beautiful detail.
Arcane is the worst show for reactors because it's too dense for first-timer watchers to pick up important bits. Btw, I think Isha's actual function is to make a point to Vi and Jinx: Jinx is capable of change and Vi is too stubborn to recognize that Powder was already changed and grew too much to be the little Powder she once was.
"I think the little girl and jinx bond is going to grow stronger."
😭😭😭😭😭
Please know, editing these episodes SUCKED. I fear the wound will never fully heal now.
@@geenahreads "The hole gets smaller, but it never goes away"
@@Hawkido this
She need to play the game "Jinx Fixes Everything" if its still available.
too strong it's exploded
I love that you can see Cait figure everything out after Vi says "I'm trying to save my dad." So much of her character is in her eyes.
Another case of Piltovan harm inflicted on Zaun, and Zaun getting blamed for what a Piltovan Alchemist did after being flushed down into Zaun like the rest of the garbage.
The end where you talk about the way the shows emotions linger is so real 😭
"But was the purpose just to hurt my feelings" Girl, i was crying with you and ended laughing for that comment 😂
In Isha's flashbacks of her and Jinx dancing, Jinx's eyes turned blue again. It happened several times when they were together.

One second I was laughing at jinx and the next I was sobbing my eyes out
Jinx didn’t hold back and I love her for that lol

The writers for Riot games/league of legends do not shy away from death, just take heed for if and when they release more of such masterpieces as Arcane in the future... not that it'll stop us from bawling our eyes out in the end.
The song at the end is just so beautiful, but when I found the official video I couldn’t help but feel the subtitles weren’t doing it full justice. I left my own revised translation of the lyrics in a comment on that video. I’ll repost it here for you, as I feel like you might be the type to appreciate the beauty of this song as well.
The title of the song is “{Isha’s song} 这样很好” (zhèyàng hěn hǎo) - can be translated as “It’s alright for things to be this way...”
孩子別 怕荊棘
Háizǐ bié pà jīngjí
(Child, Don’t be afraid of the thorns,)
赤著腳 就 能尋到 珍貴
chìzhe jiǎo jiù néng xún dào zhēnguì
(Barefooted [across them], is how you will come to find what is most precious)
你看這個 天黑 焰火有多美

(You see only in these darkest of skies the fireworks in all their beauty)
無需太多 的傷悲
wúxū tài duō de shāng bēi
(There's no need for all this sadness)
人本都在 茂盛枯萎
rén běn dōu zài màoshèng kūwěi
(We are all bounded by nature, to bloom and to wither)
但頑石和塊壘 也開花蕊
dàn wán shíhé kuàilěi yě kāihuā ruǐ
(Yet, even the most obstinate stone and rubble bloom with flowers.)
撥開山嶺 讓她看看我

(Push aside the mountains, let her see me)
告訴繁星 快些照亮我
gàosù fánxīng kuài xiē zhào liàng wǒ
(Tell the countless stars to hurry their light toward me)
吹散烏雲 用一抹藍色
chuī sàn wūyún yòng yīmǒ lán sè
(Blow away the dark clouds that gaum me in blue) [in parts of China, blue is symbolic of grief and mourning]
那就算 世界滿是荒蕪我們 抬頭就能 看見月亮
Nà jiùsuàn shìjiè mǎn shì huāngwú wǒmen táitóu jiù néng kànjiàn yuèliàng
(Even if the world is nothing but desolate wasteland, we can still lift our heads up and see the moon shining)
在我們還是 孩子的模樣
Zài wǒmen háishì háizǐ de múyàng
(There was a time that, while we still looked and acted like children…)
做雖千萬人 也要盛開 的孤芳
Zuò suī qiān wàn rén yě yào shèngkāi de gū fāng
(…in a field amongst millions, we yearned to bloom with fragrance and splendor [to stand out; become what we were meant to be].)
別再憂傷煩惱
Bié zài yōushāng fánnǎo
(Do not tarry in grief or worry)
別忘
Bié wàng
(Don’t forget)
就算流淚 也要一直 奔跑
jiùsuàn liúlèi yě yào yīzhí bēnpǎo
(Even if the tears flow, keep running forward)
跑到連時 間都 找不到
Pǎo dào lián shíjiān dōu zhǎo bù dào
(Run until even time cannot be found)
做天邊的飛鳥
Zuò tiānbiān de fēiniǎo
(Be as a bird, flying on toward the next horizon)
撥開山嶺 讓她看看我

做天邊的飛鳥
Zuò tiānbiān de fēiniǎo
(As the bird flies off toward the furthest horizon)
別再尋找
Bié zài xúnzhǎo
(Do not come searching)
給我一個擁抱
Gěi wǒ yīgè yǒngbào
(Give me a hug)
就安靜地忘掉
jiù ānjìng de wàngdiào
(Then quietly let go)
我這樣就很好
wǒ zhèyàng jiù hěn hǎo
(I’m fine the way I am)
What a freaking dope tattoo. "be kind"
Fun watch, can't wait for the last arc!
"They're definitely going to kill something..." Was so rude bro....
30:03 Oh don't worry.... They didn't mess things up just before they broke through to Vander. The show's creators waited until *_AFTER_* they broke through the Vander. That way we know exactly what was lost and it's 100x the heartbreak.... 😁😁
Damn. This show really be Ar-PAIN......
Gina... I enjoy the energy you have in your reactions. Similar to mine so probably why. The show is an emotional Rollercoaster with extra steps. Episode 7 is probably the only release from all the pain this show deals out.
Regardless of how anyone feels about the em, the antagonists have some of the best lines in this entire show between Singed and Silco… just unbelievable writing to the point that I could really empathize with these characters for their motives.
the reaction to isha at the end is soooo real. i love these reactions sm !!!
Oh the emotional connection to these characters is strongggg... I don't know any fans who watched and didn't cry, I know I did.
36:05 this was actually a thing that Singed injected into Warwick. He probably would’ve survived otherwise.
38:45 That was such a Jinx facial expression!!!!❤❤❤
1:57 in season 1 they did flashbacks for the intros of the episodes, except for episode 9
"Every time I see them, I get emotional. Kinda pathetic...but I don't care"
Fuck yes, continue being badass and adorable!
These 3 episodes was my crybaby episodes I havnt shed a tear for a tv show since the walking dead
There's a scene in Episode 9 in Season 1 that Singed is looking at his watch while Vander is hanging on his lab
Hahaha, I knew this was going to hurt when I saw how much she liked Jinx and how she was getting attached to Isha in the first act.
2:28 Ooooh, your face 😂😂😂 How did you keep yoir jaw from dropping at the sight of that
Even with glasses I’m blind sometimes. So in my head I told myself that her hand did not go where I thought it did 😂
Isha became Powder
A lot of people miss the small shot of Singed standing back up in the wreckage after being knocked out, implying he injected Warwick/Vander with the serum that would prevent Viktor from helping him. But I also believe Viktor's death impacted that as well, but mostly the serum.
So, when I watched this season for the second time, I gave myself a challenge for each episode: Don't cry.
I lost the game.
This show uses magic to manipulate our emotions.
Lol, that voice note at the end is exactly how I feel about the end of Red Dead Redemption 2. Arthur was just a digital outlaw but sometimes it still stings a little, and it's been 6 years
😬😞 My face when you said "I love Isha and Jinx, nothing bad better happen to them"
This show is so good. I’ve never cried so much watching anything 😭 can’t wait for the act 3 reaction!
One thing I saw someone point out about the hexgate mesh room: the first time Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger were in there they showed just how cold that room is. Every time they talked you could see their breath in the air. And again in ep5, every time Jayce speaks and breathes you can see his breath. But when Salo talked..there’s nothing 🤔
21:15 when she realised no one was there to answer her own questionahahaha
Quality content as always!
And Honestly, missing out one or two things is the beauty of what makes watching favorite show over and over so enjoyable. Esp since you have to edit too.
People going after you for missing stuff is wild to me. Not only do you tend to catch a fair amount, but when you do miss stuff, you often make it into a little joke in the edit, which is imo a really fun little way to acknowledge it before people need to comment about it and move on. But yea, I mean every reactor is going to miss stuff sometimes, especially in a show like Arcane with so much subtle writing and hints. I certainly missed a lot in my initial watch lol
Also as a sidenote, I love that you actually had no idea about the Vander thing. It was a strong theory that blew up after season 1 (partially based on League knowledge) so I think all the other reactors that I've seen get this far already knew about the theory going in, but since you only watched the show recently, you didn't have those years of being in the community to have it spoiled, and so get a more pure and genuine reaction :D
I was bawling so hard my wife came in the room and was like “bro are you okay?”
I don't know how you managed to watch an episode 6 when the show clearly ended after the hug in episode 5. Gotta love a happy ending :)
Silco styled little Jinx's bangs. Look at him in the bar.
Don’t do this to me
that ending to this video is arcane lol shit rips your soul out
Been waiting for this!!! Personally act 2 was the best!
new upload = good day ❤
🤍
I wasn't okay for a week. That hit hard!!
I love your reaction
I was one week feeling 😢 after finishing the act 2
I can’t wait for next week reaction
23:57 LMAOOOO the pain
GINA UPLOADED. IM UP
LET’S PARTY
JAYCE HATE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED 🗣️🗣️🗣️
P.S. my poor baby Isha😭😭😭😭
First off, I am right there with you as far as defending Silco and Jinx to the death. Second, I have concluded that the sole reason this show exists is to hurt people.
Love this act
I’m with ya on the Silco Jinx thing. 😉
But I have a 30x40 canvas of Jinx from the end of S1 in the ManCave. 🤷♂️
13:29 maybe they found the burnt charred body in the aftermath?
Great video ❤️
This show tends to use siblings as one of the fastest ways to tug at everyone's heartstrings💔. Vi & Jinx + Mel & Kino are the prime examples.
Also, I know you may hate him now, but believe me when I say that Jayce had really good reasons to kill Viktor. Plus if you wanna blame someone for Vander going berserk, blame Singed (the doctor).
They do have other projects coming so there's something to look forward to
Episode seven gonna be a movie
ive been waiting! i think the dynamic between silco and vander is "brothers in arms" like comrades under a shared cause. they're not biological brothers! (i too was emotional throughout the entire 3 episodes lol, and emotional watching u watch them)
Everyone should find Isha in their lives.
OMFG HIII SO SORRY FOR OUR LOST I LOVED ISHAA
im suprised u didnt freak out when u saw maddie in caitlyn's bed
I’m also surprised I didn’t freak out about the little ginger snap slithering her way into Caitlyn’s bed
29:55 We are familyyy 🎵🤓
It just had to happen Jayce had to get his child killing quota of the season this time he did it indirectly, but it’s still the same thing
Can someone explain to me, what Cait's and Vi's plan is? They get into the camp, Vi catches Ambessa in the net and then Vi just leaves and Ambessa is only minutes behind her. Why do that at all?
12:19
Am I crazy, or does Isha yell "mama"?
I hear it too, not quite buried in the mix. Easier to catch with good headphones or earbuds.
isha dying is when I cried too man :(( its so sadddddd
*Hugs* I had the exact same reaction
32:35 did you blur the screen on purpose cause if yes, cinema is achieved
Wait is there a Patreon where I can watch your full reactions?
Team Jinx!! Cait does grow on me later, though. Minus the creepy scenes, I love Jinx and Silco idc!
Did not care for Isha. Same as Peter did not care for the godfather.
The ending is literally so real I sent so many voice notes to my friends just balling my eyes out after episode 7
The purpose is always to hurt us
Arcane ended on episode 5
Welcome to my Trauma :)
Summary: 🥺😭😭😡😭😭🥹😭😡😭😭😭
Talk to your therapist by all means, but nothing is wrong with you for feeling intense emotion for any of this. I cried like a fucking baby when Vander hugged Vi and Jinx. Not like sniffles and eyes welling up. Like tears, stuffed nose, snot running, balled. This show hits hard.
Isha my BaByY whyyy 💔
you yourself has very violent ideas in your head. XD Thats why you are in the jinx team XD
32:38 *video becomes blurry*
In some lesser known European mythologies if someone who loves and trusts a werewolf completely calls out their name it's will snap them out of it. I don't know of the show runners knew that. But it's a beautiful detail.
❤
I've been loving your reaction so much !! 🩷 i can't wait for the next one ૮ ´͈ ᗜ `͈ ა♡ ( be sure to bring tissues 🥹
Arcane is the worst show for reactors because it's too dense for first-timer watchers to pick up important bits.
Btw, I think Isha's actual function is to make a point to Vi and Jinx: Jinx is capable of change and Vi is too stubborn to recognize that Powder was already changed and grew too much to be the little Powder she once was.
Oh so you;re going to just flat out die in episode 6 got it.
