Arcane 2x9 | "The Dirt Under Your Nails" REACTION!

[@tiborsramek]

in the very first episode Powder says one day she will ride one of those airships - which looked exactly like the one in the last shot, so the leading theory is Jinx actually survived and she was on that blimp, there is a pink flash when the explosion happens hinting at her shimmer ability, plus the The End flash at the end in her style

[@astrea4020]

Yes and also on the artbook there’s phrases scribbled like “wanna know a secret?” And “I live”.

[@astrea4020]

Maddie was actually confirmed by the writers to have been a Noxian soldier the entire time. She was planted by Ambessa upon her arrival.

[@ViRaL_Uno]

Had a great time binging these reaction. It was awesome to find out Zach quit drinking. I hope the best for you all!

[@3rdstreetreactions]

@@ViRaL_Uno yeah taking one day at a time, but we’re all proud of them for sure. I imagine he’s definitely a lot different when you watch the first season to the second season

[@TheNinjaBees]

Really appreciate Jayce and Vikor’s relationship. Rarely we see intimate love expressed between two men without them being gay, I just thought it was nice to see them embrace being true brothers and partners in science that went too far. And they went out together too

[@BattleAngelFan99]

They didn't go out together.. well I guess they did. :D

[@hatezomm]

Farewell to one of the greatest animated shows ever 🫡

[@3rdstreetreactions]

thats a buck baby

[@2Btoobee]

Vi could not even look at the fall, she gotta look away, it's too much for her Q.Q

[@BattleAngelFan99]

We didn't lose Jinx. There were several intentional clues near the end to let us know she's alive, if one pays close attention. A couple more obvious ones were Caitlyn examining the maps of where Jinx had fallen while holding a detonated monkey bomb she had obviously found and the lone airship heading out to the open ocean("One day, I'm gonna ride in one of those things", "I think the cycle only ends when you find the will to walk away"), followed by "THE END" in a jinx scribbles style. Also, you could just make out Jinx's speed trail heading away from the explosion of her monkey bomb into one of the tunnels. I hope we'll see her again in a future series or movie. We'll surely be seeing her in the Runeterra MMORPG they're making. One last thought I had just now: Caitlyn could have said to dead Maddie "I appreciate your shutting TFU." :D

What an epsiode lads! Poor Ekko. I loved this season, and I've loved watching your reactions to it. Beautiful show, so well done and great characters. 💜 💙

[@3rdstreetreactions]

Hey thank you Tracy; it was one of the best animated shows i've ever watched. Cant wait for more stuff from this world

[@tracycainyidette]

@3rdstreetreactions same dude! Can't wait to see what they do next :)

[@tiborsramek]

I hope they fugure out how to do things on a budget, I'm not a fan of netflix or lol but this show was really special and there is so much potential in the world and characters

[@Andrei2patrU]

they weren't a film or animation studio, it took a lot of money to build the infrastructure and processes to produce several hours of film. The article about the budget also clickbaited everybody by including marketing budget as well. I wish this point would be put to rest. It was incredibly cheap for what they managed to put out and what they got out of it (all the skin sales in league and other games, new people interested in the IP, fans looking forward to the MMO, guaranteed interest in future productions and so much more... stuff that you can't quantify with a dollar sign)

[@AppleBaron]

​@@Andrei2patrUFor real. 250 million dollars for essentially 12-13 hours of godlike animation is not expensive at all.

[@Andrei2patrU]

@@AppleBaron of course it isn't. 6 feature films of artistic perfection. You can almost call it dirt cheap at that point

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

100% confirmed by Amanda Overton now.....MADDIE WAS NOXIAN ALL ALONG!!!!!! And I feel so vindicated now that it was also confirmed by the lead writer!!! Maddie was a plant all along!! - Maddie called her "commander" before Ambessa actually named her Commander - Maddie was the first to beat her chest - Pulled from the car-thing during the memorial attack by huge Shimmer suit dude and NOT killed - Maddie was in bed (god that still makes me sick) trying to get Cait to see Ambessa is trying to “protect them” - Maddie was eaves dropping at the door when Cate & Vi had their argument about Powder - Maddie was carrying the bomb…and also sabotaged it - Maddie showed ZERO remorse or hesitation in pulling the trigger Then there is what Ambessa told Vi in Episode 6...."your absence provided a vacuum I was able to fill." She could have been meaning herself...but it is 100% confirmed now that she meant Maddie. Cait wasn’t anything to Maddie…she was a job.

[@BattleAngelFan99]

His name is actually Heimerdinger, but so many call him Hymen-dinger. I find that sort of hilarious.

[@armanhossain8744]

Malachi’s jacket is so cool ❤️ he’s looking so good in this 🙌

[@vro1671]

Loved your reactions to this series…from drunk Zac to reacting with Malachi! It’s been great keep it up guys. P.S. the game has no story per se. It has characters from various points in time and scope…the creator of stars and planets fights alongside jinx, who is basically just a girl, so show characters from the game can die without any issues for the game

[@armanhossain8744]

Great reaction 🔥

[@koalabrownie]

Seems like one of the sisters always dies, based on the flash to that other world.

[@Adonna2424]

Nope she lived

[@koalabrownie]

@@Adonna2424 Would be a massive cop out if she did. Disney/Pixar already has the fake sacrifice in every movie, I don't think Arcane needs to stoop to those antics.

[@idk2545]

@@koalabrownieFake outs aren’t objectively bad, it depends if it’s written to be a fake out or retconned to be one In this case it’s written to be one. “I just can’t seem to die” and “When you find the will to walk away” makes it obvious that it’s written to be this way

[@liljunior8756]

React to the karate kid legends trailer ❤

[@TheeKorovaMilkBar]

Only two complaints about this otherwise perfect series: 1: New characters weren't used well. Apart from Maddie (I think her name was) we got little of them. Big Vander lookalike (who I think was someone from the game) barely got any focus, despite becoming Vi's bro. Shape of Water dude barely got any screen time. And we didn't even get to see their Hextech in action. 2: One more episode was all this series needed because the finale felt a little rushed, which I'm told was indeed the case behind the scenes. Just one more to wrap things up and this series would've been a 10/10. It stand at a 9.5/10 and I'm excited to see whatever spinoff follows.

[@Adonna2424]

Yeah could use one more episode if you wanted to expand on parts but they did a good job and wanted to stick to the format. 3 episodes per act.
