It really is potent because both Vander and Silco are hoping for the same thing, and yet are going about it in the absolutely opposite way. Vander wants to preserve the undercity at all costs, and he does so by making contracts with the police of Piltover. He preserves the immediate lives sort of, but doesn't do anything about the deep-rooted issue that is actually killing his people; the mines are still toxic, the runoff is still toxic, his people are still being poisoned and dying. He's trying to preserve the present for the sake of the future. Silco, on the other hand, is sacrificing the present for for the sake of the future. His plan probably would have worked- hell, it almost DID work. By flooding the undercity and piltover with Shimmer, the undercity had the most to gain, since they would get the strength and health boost that it offers even while it becomes addictive. Piltover, which already has the finest medicine and feels powerful, would only feel the negative effects of shimmer, and would therefore be broken down and rendered susceptible to the undercity's guerrilla assaults. However, the negative effects of shimmer as well as all of the backlashes from Piltover after every attack are not to be shrugged off easily by a populace that is already starving and struggling to survive.

Vi had absolutely no reason to talk to her sister at the end of episode 7, because that would've meant irresponsibly risking the lives of herself, Caitlyn, and Ekko. Even if she tried to talk to Jinx, she almost certainly wouldn't have listened to her, and Ekko would've just told Vi to shut up and leave anyway. Context matters. Had Jinx not bombed the bridge, and had Marcus not nearly killed Caitlyn, Vi would've went back to find her sister. She was ready to say goodbye to Caitlyn for good in order to find Jinx, and then the situation fundamentally changed.

It was two things: seeing himself in Powder, but also the fact that Silco was obviously a deeply lonely person. He had been quite predatory up until she lunged at him and hugged him. He was both literally and figuratively taken aback. Watch his face and you can see him processing the emotional shock, like he's flooding with oxytocin and utterly baffled by the feeling. And then, of course, what Powder tells him suddenly makes everything make sense. Incidentally, I think an element of Arcane that goes a little overlooked is how often they emphasize how powerful physical touch can be. Vi touching Jinx on the arm in Ep. 6 was intense and jarring. Cait touching Vi on the cheek in Ep. 7 was tender and loving. And of course, Jinx was often uncomfortably clingy with Silco. They were codependent not just because of their mutual abandonment issues, but also because neither one could imagine someone else loving and holding them (in a familial sense or otherwise).

@@dforman4770 honestly for me it was only weirdly sensual the first watch, the more I closely look at it the less sensual it seems. It was definitely made to give that impression on first viewing. But look closer, Jinx isn't caressing his face, she's just putting her hand on his neck and about to use the eye stabber before getting distracted. she sits on the table but it's made to have the audience mistake it for her sitting on his lap, but this position is just the result of her taking the shortest path from sitting curled up on the table to being able to reach Silco's eye. Then there's the baptism scene where Silco leans in towards Jinx, the background is solid gray and the camera is tracking them so you can't see the movement of him lowering Jinx into the water. This is done for just a second, enough to mess with your mind, and then you see the clouds and register what's going on. Super intentionally deceptive. It is my belief that they intended for the audience to see past their tricks after watching it closely or watching it several times. what it is is that Jinx and Silco's relationship is completely familial and Jinx is weird and touchy sometimes.

one of my favorite scenes with Silco is the attempted coup in his office with Finn, Renni, and Sevika. even as Sevika stands over him, blade drawn, he is calm, cool, and indirectly reminds her he believes in loyalty. what I find especially captivating is that immediately after Sevika kills Finn, Silco briefly shows vulnerability; he was genuinely scared that his right hand man might betray him and after the shock, he's relieved, but immediately snaps back to the Silco who's in control, who's fearless. it's so easy for a scene such as that to leave out any "weakness" and simply have the villian be nonchalant and fearless, but Silco showed fear, shock, and relief, which is so damn compelling and just another in the thousand of reasons of why this show is a masterpiece

Arcane is officially canon, and from now on League of Legends lore is going to stop contradicting itself all over the place, says Riot. Key art for Riot's Arcane.

I think you should do one on jinx too since she’s arguably just as much of a villain in this story as she is a main character

Once Season 2 Arrives, a video on Jinx is to be expected. In the meantime, we shall draw our own thoughts and conclusions of the character.

Hey TheVileEye, regarding revolution leaders and crime bosses, I recommend doing an analysis of Lord Megatron from the Transformers War For Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron game (or novel Transformers Exodus) and Prime series. One thing I like about this Transformers continuity is the character depth beyond one-dimensional cartoonic portrayals, especially the reasonings behind the formation of the Decepticon faction.

No way! Thank you. I was going to actually ask for this character. Could you do Grand Admiral Thrawn in on your videos, please?

I know literally nothing about league of legends and this may be my favorite work in of art of all time. Arcane is just such an intricate story and I can't believe people were able to make a story so good.

Silco wasn’t mad that the mob grew fat and complacent, he was mad that they weren’t fat and complacent under HIM.

I thought Vander giving up the fight across the bridge was what caused the fight with Silco. I imagine him going rabid at the thought of giving up that fight, and saying he'll go over Vander's decision and like you said probably use more drastic measures which probably made Vander feel he had to physically put him down. Maybe he suggested using kids in factories like he ended up doing.

I do like how Silco adopts Jinx as he never has a daughter of his own

One thing to add, Riot already changed their stance over Arcane and it's now the main canon as they plan to everything they release to be part of the same universe.

This was so good. A lot of Arcane commentators on KZbin are fans of characters to the point where they lose any ability to give impartial and interesting insights that honor the complexity involved

Not even a minute in and you can be sure this dude knows league cause he disclaimers it with “ _unfortunately_ I am a huge fan of league of legends” … I feel that

Great video analysis as always! I would recommend making an analysis on Samuel T. Owen (Satō) from Ajin.

Why is the single most blatantly obvious, surface level statement the top comment? Like, this isn’t an observation, it’s just what happens in the story.
