Thank you for pointing out Piltover’s ableism! The lack of accessibility is only apparent to the council once it affects them! There’s SO much to talk about regarding disabilities & ableism in Arcane and it’s portrayed so well. It’s really nice to hear it brought up in this vid, as a disabled person myself!

[@healgoth]

It was in her mother’s montage but it’s also connected by economic status… Zaun started as mining town so it was mostly workers who lived there and then the factories above them pollute downwards (now, with arcane magic too in all likeliness since the hex gate was deliberately put down there so it wouldn’t effect the upper crust) Orianna’s original lore is that she gave up her breathing mask to a poor kid who couldn’t afford one (not that she could either but her father was a maker of them so she was wearing one) and that’s what slowly rots her body from the inside out like is shown in the slideshow Caitlyn ends up using as an inspirational moodboard for her future

That "coin" wasn't from episode 2 - it was a cog that came loose when he referred to Jinx as Powder, he picked it out of the water fountain and held on to it, to be a symbolic visualization of his speech at the end, about hate and compassion being two sides of the same coin of humanity.

[@valeriyav2149]

It's so sad arcane ended so fast with so little episodes this season. But I really like the ending! They all live happily ever after

[@bottomerenjaeger]

also, some stuff id like to point out to add to the pain: 1- isha screamed mama when she was being taken away by sevika to safety 2- isha can’t speak, so jinx won’t even be able to hear her voice in her head after her death 3- it was after vi held jinx back from saving isha that jinx finally understood why vi never wanted her to come save vander when they were teens 4- vi decided in that moment she would rather lose one sister than lose both sisters and despite barely being able to stand, she used all her energy to protect jinx 5- isha was the only one in a long time to love powder and jinx at the same time (yes even more than vi and silco who only wanted powder or jinx respectively) which is why jinx experienced a calmness in her head she hasnt in a long time 6- when jinx lit up the lighter in the cave to see what happened between vi and warwick, she was worried about vi, not vander, because she saw her let her guard down and trust her 7- also that scene shows that vi is also suicidal just like jinx as she was either ready to live knowing her dad is alive and her sis was telling the truth, or die with the betrayal bonus one about mel: her crying while holding her “brother’s” face was her accepting that hes dead and this is her last time seeing him before calling out the fact its not him.

One thing that kind of gets overlooked in the Vander reveal: Not only does Vander (or Warwick) recognize Powder... But Jinx *recognized* Vander! Despite what he looks like, she knew the moment he said "Powder" - AND she just accepted it. No questions about how or why, this was just her father now, and he needs her help.

[@krstygianheart]

I think about that so much. She heard him say her old name and somehow knew it was her father, and I was SOBBING when Warwick said her name.

[@handlelicker989]

Okay but tbh I feel Cait was very aware of how Ambessa was trying to manipulate her, she was constantly questioning her. Especially questioning her when she brought innocents into the problem. Or at least she recognises this after the time skip during the season, otherwise she wouldn’t have turned around and betrayed her at the first possible opportunity. Also the time skip between act 1, to act 2 is like 6 months to a year.

[@gustavgustav2670]

Exactly. People just see Maddie, lose their shit without watching the scene then judge her all the way through.

[@y___otaku]

@@gustavgustav2670 this. i have seen a lot of people mischaracterize caitlyn and maddie simply because they focus too much in them being together and then just simply tune out their entire conversation in that scene. people keep missing there's been a timeskip spanning months when caitlyn said she didn't think it would last that long (and that doesn't even include other hints throughout the episode). people keep saying caitlyn is disgusted by maddie and doesn't like her when she was just thinking about her concerns regarding noxus??? and i see people hating maddie so much to the point they wish she'll die when she has been nothing but sweet albeit naive and optimistic, and is actually grounding caitlyn and trying to be the voice of reason (as amanda said, she was meant to be the angel on caitlyn's shoulders as opposed to ambessa's devil)

[@naaaaa___]

I see people said it's weird how Cait suddenly betrayed ambessa and team up with vi in that short amount of time. I was thinking that too (I forget things easily and can't focus quite well) but after rewatching, meeting vi is just the perfect chance for her to go against ambessa!

[@Cat-o-mancer]

@@charley5650 They also said they had no intention of creating an "MCU" and that these stories should be self-contained and not require lore knowledge. Act 2's Mel and Jayce B-plots seem likely to introduce other factions and characters that I can't see them properly exploring even if they used all of Act 3 to do it. I fear it's either going to be rushed and deus ex the plot or leave massive plot threads just dangling. This season is still great so far and I still have faith in their plan for the story but some of the writing choices in Act 2 definitely make me wonder how the hell they're going to wrap it up.

[@gustavgustav2670]

I think you need to go revsit a lot of Caitlyn stuff here, its very easy to miss first time through. Take the first scene with Maddie - Caitlyn shows her no affection whatsoever, and actively pulls away from her - especially when Maddie tries to kiss her. Its super clear its a rebound and she still loves Vi, its her version of coping compared to Vis fighting. Throught the Act she tells Ambessa she doesn't trust her, but Ambessa keeps stoking the flames. Caitlyn's body language throughout makes it clear she is not onboard - theres a lot of heavy animation work that goes on to show it which you only notice second time through, as Caitlyn doesnt actually say that much, and what she does say is butting heads with Ambessa. So once she meets Vi, its the final straw - building up to them getijng back together. Ambessa even says this outright, Caitlyn had to be kept away from Vi. Two more things: the change in caitlyn the moment she reconnects to Vi is huge - esepcially in the eyes. Second, caitlyn wipes Vi spits into her mouth like a freak. Caitlyn did a lot of wrong, no doubt, but she was alwsys on the path back because thats who she is - hence trying to arrest Singed. Vi was just the final thing she needed.

3:54 I honestly feel so bad for Maddie. It’s not like Jinx and Vi were public about their situationship, and Maddie clearly likes Cait. WHO VERY OBVIOUSLY does not like Maddie the same way, pulling away and not really smiling. Maddie’s also clearly trying to get Cait to do the right thing (which Vi gets her to do with just one word). 8:05 Right here, you can see Maddie trying to convince Vi to leave the undercity and focus on themselves, to not listen to Ambessa. Honestly, I really can’t hate that ginger. 12:22 Quick shout out to the fact Ekko was painted on the mural! Time has obviously passed since act 1, around 3-9 months (I’m not sure, I keep finding both as answers) so the people are bound to think Ekko is dead or missing. 23:07 Started bawling in my bed at that point 36:28 This was actually a HUGE thing for anyone who’s played LoL. It’s extremely hard to explain as someone who DOESN’T play LoL but has had all the lore drops from their fanatic LoL addicted cousin. His daughter’s name is Orriana and she’s a League character known as the Lady of Clockwork. 42:01 Small detail, but this is the same cup AND music that was used in Season 1 act 1 when Vander was talking to Powder. 43:15 I honestly wish I could explain to you how BAD I started crying right then and there. Literally bawling my eyes out because I had been waiting for this to happen. Thanks to my cousin, I knew Vander would come back as Warwick and I waited YEARS for this reunion and I finally got it. Seriously wish the show ended there. 45:49 IMPORTANT (ISH) THING! Jayce is now wearing a leg brace and seems to carry the hammer a lot for skillfully. Considering the shape he is in, it is VERY likely he actually had to fight whenever he was, likely against the creatures the hexcore (and thus Viktor) created. It’s also very important to note that you can see Jayce breathing because of how cold it is, but you never once see Salo breathe. Whether or not you noticed it, when talking to Salo, there were many “glitches” where underneath the human skin, all Jayce saw was a monster, a puppet. Not a human. And again, his stance shows off the leg brace that looks a suspiciously similar to Viktor’s old one. It’s also very fun to notice that it is NOT in Salo’s character to worship someone. He is the kind to live a comfortable and lavish life where people serve him…and yet after Viktor “healed” him, he’s changed. He worships Viktor and is no longer himself. (If you can’t tell, I’m completely on Jayce side 😅) 49:56 VERY true! If Viktor had actually succeeded, it wouldn’t be Vander anymore. Which, ironically, is probably why the “beast” inside of him was so resistant to him at first. 52:14 That’s my personal theory, that the Hex Core is using her image to manipulate Viktor. Viktor isn’t…really Viktor anymore. He lacks the emotions he once displayed so heartedly, and even his voice is a bit distorted. He truly believes he’s doing the right thing with what little humanity he has left, but in reality, it isn’t right. I dunno if you watched any marvel movies, but he reminds me a lot of Ultron. 59:17 I think it’s less that Viktor got the good side and more than Jayce got the truth. Personally. Truth comes out tomorrow. 1:00:42 A reason why I think Jayce TRULY had a reason to kill Viktor is that he clearly cares for him. That’s his best friend, his partner, the first person to actually believe in him. He wouldn’t do anything to harm Viktor without reason, and as we can see here, it’s tearing him apart. Right after the blast, we can see the absolute hurt and agony on his face. 1:01:34 There’s a split second in this scene where you can see Singed. Dude’s alive and gave Vander the poison. It wasn’t Jayce who did that to Vander, it was that crusty bald mf. ANYWAYS I LOVE YOUR REACTION!!!!! I can’t (can) wait for tomorrow because we finally get answers.

Your reactions to Cait's arc are valid, and it was a rollercoaster of a ride with her this season. I'd encourage you to rewatch this act, knowing what you now know about where she's at by the end of it. People seem to be overlooking her scenes a LOT and don't catch her doubtful expressions, calculating eyes or they misinterpret (or don't look deeper into) her lines, like when talking to Maddie or Ambessa. You can see there's a lot of hesitation and thinking going on. She's definitely not redeemed, not by a long shot, by the end of Act 2. But the flip doesn't come out of nowhere. It's all there in her scenes from the start of ep 4.

The writers really gave jinx a taste of happiness and decided to toy with her emotions by taking it all from her again

[@internetstranger3952]

Not cait wiping vi's spit into her mouth, gurrrll thirsty much

[@laylay2200]

A lot of people believe Jayce is the villain but he saw a different evil reality of the arcane. He sees a different visual of the people Victor “fixed”. (It’s shown if u pause it when he started getting hallucinations going up to victor) The people victor fixed aren’t even the same. They lack personality and who they were like Salo. The guy was so sassy and he was so not him when he was with Jayce. He wasn’t even breathing cold air like Jayce was cause he’s no longer human in that room.

[@mirasheep]

not gonna lie... but i am so ready to forgive this new long hair and beard sexy jayce for assassinating our gay jesus icon

[@caseyh8386]

Just to be clear, I have terrible taste in men but... Anyone else get feelings when they hear Silco's voice? 😂 I was quite heartbroken when I realised the voice actor is just amazing at his job and doesn't sound like that normally

[@mike14_22]

2:42 THE WAY ME AND HIM WERE BOTH SHOCKED AND DRINKING COCA-COLA 😭 (I ALREADY WATCHED THE EPISODES AND AM STILL SHOCKED THAT HAPPENED.)

[@sneakerjuice1856]

Ekko can save them with his z-drive...its just that it can only rewind time for a few seconds, so he actually have to be in the middle of this shit to actually be able to interact.

[@RedEveTillDawn]

Absolutely heartbroken and I WANT EKKOOOOOOOO

[@RedEveTillDawn]

LOL it is totally a shock to see Cait with Maddie so soon but it's actually been about 6 months between episodes 3 and 4 and Ambessa claims the affair is new

[@GoddessofRuneterra]

Ekko better pull out that back in time ULT.....

[@stellaclapp8744]

Nail I’ve been waiting for you to react to these episodes so I can cry again with my favorite emotional king

[@pampamcuap]

New to your channel, but watching your reaction is actually enriching the actual show. Don’t know how you picked up in these tiny details, make sense and keep up the larger plot, get involved emotionally, and entertain viewers all in a first time viewing! Arcane is such a dense show, I just keep track of the plot and immerse myself in the story. Details, cinematography, and parallels and stuff are for rewatches. The recording session for this would’ve fried my braincells if I was in your position 😭

[@niallnochill]

To be fair, I usually record and go for a nap after because I’m exhausted from being so switched on 😂

[@PercysPen]

26:42 Question of the century right there😭🤚

[@GreySeashell-j3m]

Oh best understand that Caitlyn _knows_ Ambessa is using her. And I reckon her plan was to also make use of Ambessa's authority and wisdom, but is just unable to overpower her, because she simply lacks experience no? Cait is smart, if not very emotionally driven at the start. But she started sobering up on ep 4, after some time has passed and things aren't exactly going as she'd hoped. So all this time she's been struggling on how to exactly make everything right. All alone. With all that power in her hands. We have to remember, under that cloak. She's just still Caitlyn.

[@jrcervincervin2782]

There are 3 characters that have appered on the show that none league players wont recognize. 1 Orianna 2 Le blanc 3 Janna

[@teslafreeman]

Omg I've been dying to see LeBlanc and I'm so thoroughly impressed with their depiction, had my suspicions from the orange glow in Ambessa's eyes in the intro,thought it was gonna be a 'Ambessa never actually came to Piltover and it was always LeBlanc making a play for/to destroy hextech. Not mad about the way she appeared though, as they say, the Black Rose blooms once more ❤

[@birddswithteeth]

I had a mental breakdown after part 2 and watching this--im not over it. IM IN PAIN OMG

[@puggyyyy]

the point you made about piltover's arrogance is so important bc at first i did feel like the infiltration went a bit too smoothly but then i thought about the overall lackadaisical nature of the enforcers (esp compared to the noxian soldiers) and how it just shows that they got caught lacking bc they don't expect to be challenged. another reason i love your reactions; u pick up on things that are not explicitly said also you're hilarious lol great vid as always!

[@y___otaku]

i like him but he kept missing things that were in fact not explicitly said lmao (the timeskip for act 2 being a long time spanning months, lest talking about viktor, warwick being hostile against them bc of isha's bloody nose and not bc she looks like powder, etc.)

[@niallnochill]

i had to cut it for timing, but in my full length reaction i know that he came for Isha because of the bloody nose as he was tracking the scent and i also cut out me asking how big of a time jump has there been when we start ACT 2… i say in this reaction it’s been a week for us. you get to sit and read up on the internet after watching the show and then get to rewatch it to spot everything. you’re seeing my FIRST reaction to it, all while also saying my immediate thoughts, trying to piece it all together and trying to entertain… it ain’t easy so gimme some grace damn

[@y___otaku]

@@niallnochill oh cool. i'm sorry but i have just seen a lot of people on socmed still having no clue on a lot of things implied in the show even after days of the act being released (and even some scenes from the first season still) but i do understand that this is your first reaction to the show!

[@niallnochill]

@@y___otaku honestly no worries, i can appreciate it can be frustrating watching people not understand things especially after time has passed, i just wanted to reiterate it’s my first time watching this so i’m not gonna pick up everything straight away 🫶🏼 no hard feelings, much love and thanks for the support friend 💗

[@adamhansen2121]

I’m so glad you pause to talk. When reactors literally rant over scenes playing grinds my gears. Like bih you missin it

[@poppyline4057]

34:12 PANCAKE IN THE BACKGROUND 😭😭😭

[@foragingwithfox]

had an anxiety attack today & your vid made me so happy. ur vids always do !! cant wait for the next 3 eps 🤞

[@taylorh7993]

Niall, you've quickly become my fav reactor/entertainer on youtube! You're so damn funny and you have great insights and theories, even if they don't always turn out. I love hearing your thought process! And your genuine reactions to this show are either so wholesome, or having me laughing so hard I need to pause. Having a complete blast watching this along with you, cheers

[@yup5218]

i need the reaction to act 3 😭

[@14hoursahead]

I appreciated Season 1 SO MUCH MORE after watching these!! Episodes 4-6 are just way too close to home, the final one made me feel utterly hopeless so I'm hoping they pull a Twilight and say, "Psych! This was just a dream." Edit: Your reaciton to the end was so satisfying!! Thank you for being traumatized along with the rest of us. I watched with my husband and I was squealing and screaming like you were, but my husband just straight-faced watched it and I was SO frustrated lol

[@jessicalay6553]

I’ve been waiting on this! I’m so excited but also terrified. Thank goodness you can bring humor to cut the tension. 💙❤️💜

[@siggemushu]

You never forgetting about that big ol fish 🤣🤣

[@niallnochill]

im sure we’ll see it again 🤞🏼🤓

[@GreenBoxStudio1]

Any character he calls hot - imma gonna be evil now 😂

[@teapots_and]

i got spoiled abt the maddie and cait bit but i was still as shocked as you and rethinking things my face literally the whole scene :0

[@teapots_and]

10:20 also that reaction to sevika lmaoo same i was gagged

[@yuriatsugi3696]

2:43 Omg not even a few minutes in and same hahaha thats litt me when i first watched that like.. "get tf away from cait" lmaoo

[@sylveonniee]

People say that Isha closed her eyes to feel the "buzzing" Jinx talked about so she could think of Jinx in her final moments
