If u don't know noxus's show is already in prod since 1 year. Will be a blast too no doubt

[@ItsPaularity]

So. The reason Zaun looks nice in the other timeline is because Heimerdinger was sent back four years into the past. He says "I've done a lot in this world". Heimerdinger saved Zaun in those four years, cleaned it up, and freed it from oppression. All it took was a little Yordle with a goal to accomplish what Piltover couldn't.

[@FluorescentPhnix1]

Also probably helped push on the front where hextech should not be created, especially since it caused a death(Vi). I've also seen theories the blast also killed Caitlyn, she didn't drop a gadget that alerted Vi they were coming back to the apartment.

[@lucaslukealves]

I don't think that's all of it, I think because Vi was killed in the heist made piltover think of zaun and consider it more

[@jayayj5574]

It’s not just that. Hextech was never invented in that world. Vander never died. Silco never flooded the lanes with shimmer. Pretty much everything worked out perfectly for them.

[@ItsPaularity]

@jayayj5574 Hextech wasn't invented because of the explosion caused by the Hexcores in episode one. It's reasonable to believe after Vi's death Heimerdinger was able to convince Piltover that hextech wasn't viable.

[@thebest3702]

Hiemerdinger is also still a Counciler in this Universe since Jayce isn't there. So most likely he immediately used all his resources directed to the under city. Also this whole innovators competition they got going on is most likely 100% Hiemers idea.

[@НикитаЗолотарев-й1в]

actually something like this: During the robbery, Vi died. Because of this, Jace was still exiled (or imprisoned), and Victor most likely simply died of illness. Silko did not get leverage over Vander and, apparently, found his letter -> made peace with him. No one could invent Hextech. Chemtech, as an alternative, became a non-destructive power for the purpose of fighting Piltover, in order to improve the life of Zaun. There are several factors here that were not explained, for example, where did Singed and "Shimmer" go from this universe

[@jamaalgaylord5029]

Silco probably canceled and the research into shimmer and told singed to stop who then prob left to find someone else to fund his research. Lol just a guess tho like you said they didn't explain everything

[@alycewellin]

I also saw someone say that Jayce might have killed himself, as he intended to do before Viktor stopped him, and that could be why he wasn't transferred to the same universe. I think it makes sense.

[@jamaalgaylord5029]

@@alycewellin good theory tho it also could be because he had hex tech with him while the other 2 did not. He also attacked the anomaly which could have caused him going somewhere else. It's hard to say but could you imagine if you did get out into your alternate body and they where actually already dead and so you where just like buried alive...

[@НикитаЗолотарев-й1в]

​@@alycewellin in that post-apocalyptic universe, Jace, if not dead, then like the others, was turned into a “robot”. So here the logic of infusing another universe into his body breaks down for Jace. And my logic breaks down because if Victor is the same magician from the 2nd episode of the 1st season, then this is ALWAYS the same Victor the Magician in all time lines and universes. But when the Magician gives Victor the fragment, he has tattoos on his hand, on his fingers, while Victor, who touches Robo-Jace’s shoulder, has no tattoos on his arm. And in theory, his body should also be metal, since Victor became a magician just after close interaction with the Hex Core.

[@chooch8296]

It's not that Vi screwed up the world. It's her Death made it so the council could not over look Jayce's work. After all a small lab explosion in the main time line is one thing, and explosion that kills a kid in the good time line is completely different. Also because Vi dies and the kids are "caught" there is no obsessive manhunt led by Jayce which ends up getting all the good people in undercity killed leaving behind only the darker impulses. So it's more like Vi sacrifices her life to stop Jayce from screwing over everyone else.

[@Crystalitar]

Also. Remember Vi saying to Jayce that kids always died. "You just never had to look it in the eye". The explosion where Vi died made *everyone* of Piltover look it in the eye. And thus felt guilty and horrified and thus be more persuaded to get peace

Maddie worked for Ambessa from the start. She was the first enforcer to bang her chest when Ambessa picked Cait out to be the defacto leader of Piltover. When Ambessa was alone with Vi, she said she was thankful since Vi's absence left a void for Ambessa to exploit. Maddie was always a baddie.

[@babette5918]

1:05:47 that crow is the ancient demon Raum, the demon of secrets, in League Of Legends story, later the great noxian general Swain does a pact or a deal with that demon, so I believe that Raum shows everything to Swain once the events make Swain to do the pact, so Swain saw everything since the very beginning

[@bouhhgz1969]

According to the creators,Yordles don’t die - because of their connection to some deep magic of Runeterra, that’s what essentially makes them immortal- something tells me whatever magical connection he has, it took him away before Ekko’s procedure completed. I get the feeling that, like Jinx; we will see Hiemadinger again someday. Absolutely excellent show, BTW. ❤. Also, if you guys love this show; you should checkout all the cinematics & music videos Riot put out for League of Legends. You’ll see some familiar faces in a lot of their shorts & a lot of cool NEW characters.

[@PyroMancer2k]

Mel played the long game. She used her mom as bait to lure out Black Rose so she could avenger her brother. That's why her mom said, "You are the wolf." at the end. But at the same time Mel wanted her mom to just leave with her so they could work together but her mom was too obsessed with quest for personal power.

[@VVoude]

Time to cry again. Episode 7 hits deep to me on spiritual level so so badly. This show is solid gold. Top 2 animation for sure. ATLA has biased forever rank 1 for me but god damn this show was good. Also to Bridget, i would recommend try TFT (Team fight tactics). Way more new player friendly and less toxic community.

[@darkanice7]

how did everythign get so nice? Heimerdinger had 3+ years. He learned a lot about the under-city and is still the leader of piltover.

[@ghostlyexe]

Yes, but i believe Vi’s death was the main catalyst for everything in that world to be fixed, the time difference between Vi dying and when Ekko was there is about 10 years. I think they brokered a peace between Piltover and Zaun after she (an Undercity child) died and Jayce (a Piltover counselor’s patron) most likely getting arrested for her death. Especially since they were willing to do so on much worse terms at the end of season one. Plus Silco and Vander forgave each other, Silco probably found that letter he wrote him, so they were running the underground together again. They had roughly 10 years for everything to get nice with everyone actually working together, instead of against each other

[@victorjacobs4868]

Jinx lived she escaped in the air vents that is what Cait was looking at in the end of the episode and she holding a piece of the bomb and that was her on the blimp at the end. She walked away like Silco told her too in ep 8 , also if you go to the arcane wiki it says she is alive but presumed dead so she survived and left piltover/zaun..

[@_Chaosnight_]

The Blackrose leader is not dead, can't be because she's immortal and a key character to the story, she will also likely play a huge roll in one of the future shows Likely the next show will revolve around Noxus and Mel's fight against the Blackrose, they already teased an important Noxian figure in Arcane multiple times through the black six eyed crows, those a tied to the character called Swain, one of the three leaders of Noxus, Mel and her family belonged to the Noxian aristocracy but aren't in any way important to the nation, so her story is far from over and she isn't the leader of the nation, Ambessa was just a random warlord from Noxus trying to get weapons and vengeance

I literally loved watching you guys react to the arcane series not only do I get to re watch arcane but I’m entertained doing so.

[@TMC_TimeLine]

8:55 "But how did everything get so nice" My guess is that Vi's death caused it. Silco and Vander were at that point not on good terms, the death of Vi probably shocked them so much that they forgave eachother to make Zaun a better place. Remember in episode 5 of season 2, where Vi's mom, Silco and Vander are talking about making Zaun a better place, and how their plans looked amazing. They made a promise to her to fix Zaun BECAUSE Vi was being born. Vi'd death caused them to remember that promise and fix it despite their differences. Through blisters and bedrock

[@PresidentOfMischief]

It also could have been because Hextech was never invented. Jayce killed a kid and got expelled. Viktor probably never came to stop Jayce from jumping so Jayce more than likely is dead in this universe. Silco and Vander came together after the death of Vi. But also Silco probably found the letter of Vander's apology too.

[@Lacastrian]

And what makes you think Silco cares about Vi? He even wanted her dead in season one.

[@jamaalgaylord5029]

Ya don't think vis death made silco want to forgive Vander. I think what happened was the enforcer's never went looking for kids as they already had the body of the one responsible and so silco didn't speed up his plans as Vander was not in trouble. Him not speeding up his plans gave him more free time and more then likely found the later from Vander in that time and that's what made him forgive. First season silco was trying to kill vi powder and Vander he did not rlly care about them. Yes he obviously cared for their mother but that obviously did not go to them.

[@vagabond142]

1:04:52 jinx survived the fall and explosion. If you play it back at slow speed, there is a pink thing that zaps into a conduit right as the explosion starts, and why else would they have the airship at the end with the jinx style “the end?” As well, the producers have confirmed that Jinx did indeed survive, but she “died” so that her legend, her revolution, which was no longer needed, could die as well

[@mathmexican4234]

It's speculated ( since it's not really explained well) that since Heimer says "I was able to accomplish alot here", that part of why that universe is so good is that since Ekko showed Heimer his little community, he worked harder on the council to help integrate the two communities. With no shimmer or hextech, and Silco and Vander reunited to help Zaun, and Heimer pushing the council, they could make things work there.

[@ryancole4893]

Episode 7 was not what I was expecting but it was so freaking good. One of my favorite episodes of Arcane, even though it's very bittersweet.

[@aranthur]

Episode 7 makes me both sad and hopeful. All it took Heimerdinger was 3 years to improve the state of the city SO MUCH, which means if the council had ever even bothered to try, they could have done the same in the main timeline just as quickly! But... maybe it also means they still can, post-finale? I have faith

[@Hocotun]

I don't think it's all because of Heimerdinger. It's more because Hextech wasn't invented in this universe.

[@ghostlyexe]

It mainly Vi’s death that happened 10ish years prior that most likely allowed them to make peace and establish Zaun’s independence. I think a child from the Undercity being killed in the overcity by the hextech crystals definitely got them to seek a treaty and they definitely arrested Jayce without a trial since a kid died. They would’ve never found out about the crystals and made hextech, and Vander and Silco made up causing them to be able to run Zaun together

[@jonathanjohnson6727]

Even though the journey of Arcane ends. I hope they'll follow these characters in different environments moving forward. Because imo, Jinx survived and chose to leave the source of her cycle of trauma. There's too much evidence, the streak of her shimmer flash just before Warwick(Vander) is blown up. During Caitlin's inspection of the Hexgates ventilation she smirks and in the midst of narration 'Our story is not over' the remnants of the monkey grenade is highlighted. In front of the fire she's conflicted when asking Vi if she's still in the fight, since she doesn't know whether or not it's best to inform her of what she knows. And there's influential scenes with Jinx where she listens even after stating they're too late. To Silco, while in the cell: 'I think the cycle only ends when one finds the will to walk away.' The known and unknown conversations between her and Ekko. 'No matter what happened in the past it's never too late to build something new.... Sometimes to make a leap forward you have to leave a few things behind.' Solidified with the final shot, being of a blimp Jinx imagined one day flying away on from the very beginning. 'One day I'm going to fly on one of those.'

[@laurencereyes1871]

As a former league player and jinx main, this show was amazing. There are a bunch of clues that suggest jinx might be alive. Some might be just fans coping, some could be solid. Cait looking at vent diagrams while holding a monkey bomb head. Pink/purple streak jetting out of explosion. Last shot of s2 is a blimp, and in s1e1 powder mentioned she's gonna ride those one day. Also in netflix's arcane after glow for s2 act 3, the cast and creators were asked if jinx was still alive? Ella Purnell sheepishly said "we dont know, we’ll leave that open to interpretation", then she hid behind the question card smiling. Anyway love your guys channel, looking forward to more reactions!

[@Reyna_Amaturi]

It’s sad that it’s come full circle with how at the beginning Powder accidentally got Vander killed with the monkey bomb, but now as Jinx she’s putting WarWick and her out of their misery with the same bomb

[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

With why everything is so nice in the alternate universe, I'd chalk it up to Vander's survival, combined with Violet's death in Jayce's workshop, helped push for reforms in Piltover and Zaun.

[@wozing]

I've been waiting DAYS to talk about this. This ending is so bittersweet, but I'm satisfied. This show took the phrase "every frame, a painting" as a bible. I love the structure of 3 episodes, 3 acts. They stuck with the classic play structure, and it hits hard. After this, I hope they get all the funding and time they ask for, because clearly, they make use of it. I think the first season was 6 years in the making. That's a lot of time to perfect it (which the absolutely did). If they ask for that long for the next series, I will absolutely wait and support the process. They have more than earned my trust and respect. Take my money, my time, my support, whatever you need. I want more of this level of content. The creators said something along the lines of, "What's the point of continuing the world if the show doesn't set up what's to come?" So that's what they did. So many provinces with such rich culture and history. I hope they fully flesh-out these areas. It also doesn't mean we're done with Piltover or Zaun. Now that the series is over, *WORLD/LORE SPOILERS AND SPECULATION* I want to say that many fans thought the Snowstorm Savior was a character named Ryze. His design and function, though hidden, were quite similar. And the Black Rose "witch" with whom we have contact, I assume, is another character named LeBlanc. Singed's daughter is a playable character named Orianna. Lore fans knew that, we've just been waiting for her to come into play. On the note of Piltover and Zaun, there are many, many characters yet to be included. We may yet see them in future series. There's even a group of playable character assassins whose entire lore (last I checked, maybe 4-6 years ago) centered around them being sent to infiltrate Zaun/Piltover.

Powder is alive !!! No body, no death. The first sentence that Powder says in the show in the first episode is ( one day, I’m gonna ride in one of those things ) And the last scene of Arcane she rides one of those things and flies away across the sea, leaving the city. Also Silco say ( I think the cycle only ends when you find the will to walk away ) And also Ekko say ( Sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind ) Jinx vs Powder fly away in the boat that she said that one day she would ride Jinx also knows that Vi will never give up on her people, on her sister, on Vander, on Caitlyn on her family and will never let the past or Vander hot Jixn go, she will never be able to let go and move on. Jinx realizes at that moment at the end and decides that it is better for her to walk away, so her sister can be happy with her girlfriend and she can move on.

[@raverdeath100]

you might want to add that the music score playing when Cait asks Vi if "she's still in the fight" is the same score that plays when Jinx has got Silco in the chair and he's explaining why he lied to her about Vi still being alive in season 1. basically the music is indicating that by not telling Vi, Caitlyn is doing the same as Silco did to Jinx.

Mel isn't at all stronger than Leblanc, that was just a manifestation of Leblanc . Also she took what she needed ,the memories of ambessa .

[@XxPanderosxX]

THANK YOU FORTICHE THANK YOU LEAGUE OF LEGEND THANK YOU NETFLIX THANK YOU ALL AMAZING WORKER ON THIS PROJECT I've played LOL since 2012 or 2013 when I was 12, playing for fun, didnt care about the history around the game and then Jinx came October 10 2013 with her music "get jinxed" and I was like "Oh they can do this in a Video game ?" and pouf 2019 and Arcane came to life Seing the champions i've been playing for 8 years on screen ???? Im grateful cause early 2010, gaming wasnt a good things to appreciate and it change !

[@primal1233]

Arcane season 2 is awesome. I'm really glad everyone got a happy ending. Especially Caitlyn and Vi

[@enadegheeghaghe6369]

Vander didn't get a happy ending

[@tomytouru408]

What are you yapping 😅 only cait and vi got a happy ending.. ekko lost Jinx two times, Jinx Lost everyone including her will to live, jayce and Viktor possibly died, Heimerdinger died, Mel Lost jayce and her mother, vander died two more times and was tormented.. want me to keep going? 🥲 Ekko and jinx deserved Happy ending more than cait and vi.

[@lockekappa500]

@@tomytouru408 The ironic part is literally none of the above people died.

[@tomytouru408]

@@lockekappa500 and you know this how?

[@lockekappa500]

@@tomytouru408 There are like 5 things pointing to Jinx being alive. The pink streak, Cait looking at the hexgate filtration system while holding the bomb and smiling. The scene of the airship at the end that mirrors the airship Powder said she would ride in E01. And the scratchy "THE END" in Jinx writing. Jayce and Viktor are definitely in a different time line. They JUST reworked Viktor in league, it wouldnt make sense to kill him off. Heimerdinger is a yordle so he's just in their town now. They can't die. Vander COULD be dead, and Ambessa also could be dead, but it doesnt make sense that they'd kill a champion in league they JUST released.

[@Aaniel_al.Meara.]

Also the Black Rose witch is definitely not dead. It's impossible to explain how strong, ancient and impactful she is to people that don't have Runterra lore background, but yeah it's as short as I could get. Also I'd love you checking some lore maybe on streams, Runeterra has beautiful Universe page where you can learn it and an official Wiki.

[@mattb7479]

Fun fact (now that you're finished): All of the music is made for the show, so you can play it on streams and don't have to worry about copyright lol

[@RedEveTillDawn]

"a reality check from Jayce" that's what I call it!! 🤣 I love the dance sequence, its so beautiful 😻

[@kristinafitcher6522]

I find comfort in that alternate reality... where everyone was alright except for Heimerdinger & Violet. Sad for Victor & Jayce not existing.

[@jamaalgaylord5029]

Well they definitely existed just both are most likely dead or Jayce might have just been imprisoned hard to say but definitely he existed since someone had to make those first crystals

[@kristinafitcher6522]

@jamaalgaylord5029 oh yes... the shards slipped my mind.

[@skyicy7383]

“What were the indicators??” 😭😂🙏🏼 I just couldn’t 😂 and the fur?!😭

[@NootTheGoon]

they are gonna do a whole cinematic universe. they said they are gonna do shows about the other regions like noxus and demacia.

[@3dCraddock]

I liked the parallel between every time that a person is brought to Ekko's tree they are blindfolded. And then for alternate-universe Powder it's a cute "no looking" walk to reveal a mural of Vi, where once stood the mural of people mostly Jinx killed.

[@TenaciousDealer]

God what an awesome send off for the series. I can't wait (will have to anyway) for the new regions shows. Peak animation. Jinx's send off was amazing because they were able to hit all the emotions that her dying would cause while still purposefully hinting that she was able to use her shimmer to escape into the ducts (which is highly likely considering nothing they do or show in this media is coincidental). My personal hope is that some time down the timeline Jinx will reunite with Vi and Ekko, perhaps when she's finally forgiven herself for everything she's done. I could easily see it being a storyline or side quest in their MMO if it ever comes out. If not a scene in a future show. Also note on Heimer, we don't know exactly what lore they will make cannon but Yordles do have an avenue that he could still be alive as they basically "respawn" in their home world Bandle City. I think this would still work in canon as it doesn't cheapen Heimer's sacrifice if it's the first time he's died. Just an absolutely outstanding achievement.

[@venomouswyverns8819]

i love how yall sometimes figure things out (or get close to it) then talk yourselfs outa it, its kinda funni tbh

“Where’d you learn those moves?” Yeah that’s the moment powder fell in love with that Ekko and she’s going to make the machine run again with the bag of blue fragments to get to him

[@anakaryna2912]

- I would like to get this tattoo - But ma'am, this is a scene of Powder and Ekko being happy together - Yes, and make it colored please

[@yehiaig]

"they should make a game out of this" hmmmmmm...

[@Crystalitar]

They couldn't shut the hexgates days before because people were still fleeing. The hexgates can teleport airships far away to safety.

[@dormens_mortem]

"wanna clap but am also sad" summed this up perfectly

[@Akaite79]

I like to think that Vi's death softened Silco's opinion on Vander and allowed them to reconcile. Them working together (with help from Ekko, Powder, and Heimer) helped to create the alternate version of Zaun.

Ah yes, the finale in which we save the world with the ✨️power of BROMANCE✨️😃

[@Ejay669]

Ambessa was right to oppose the Black Rose because a secret society of mages controlling your greedy, expansionist country from the shadows is pretty bad but her mistake was working with Viktor. Mel definitely didn't kill the woman she calls a "deceiver" either - we'll probably follow Mel into Noxus and see the Crow character and Black Rose again.

[@Lotyc_]

Leblanc is holding Mordekaiser back with the black rose, that's why she want to recruit powerfull mages, I don't think it's a bad thing

[@healgoth]

@@Lotyc_ yeah but the road to hell is paved with good intentions… she kidnaps kids makes them fight each other to turn the loser into tattoos for the winner, even when it works and they make someone theoretically a complete counter to Mordekaiser… she hates the Black Rose for killing her friends and putting their souls onto her, she’s definitely not going to help them now after everything that happened to her since basically birth 💀

[@bugleaf9603]

43:59 I’m so glad someone was as enthusiastic about ambessa’s weapons as I am. Oh my gosh they’re the coolest thing ever. Ambessa is horrible but.. how can I hate her when she.. is that cool

[@elias_134]

episode 7 you said "how everything got so nice ?" it's because heimer is here since years, he said to ekko he acomplished great things here

[@freelove3482]

heimerdinger is a yordle. yordles cant die. when they die somehow they respawn at their hometown. whatever happened to heimer, he must be at home now

[@charlestonjew7587]

"One of these days, I'm gonna ride in one of those things." THE END?

[@icelord7]

Everything got so nice, partially because of Heimerdinger, while it's never stated, since he was sent back further then Ekko, he was able to make changes as head of the council.

[@ioanzatui]

1:07:30 No, she didnt 'kill' the Black Rose lady. It was more like she banished her/bitch slapped her back to Noxus. The Black Rose is an organization that consists of most of the rich, powerful, and truly influential people of Noxus. One of which is a sorceress who has powers including shapeshifting and deceive/illusions.

[@felipepadilha4737]

they will do more from league universe, already confirmed a show being produced since last year. The most obvious path they could take is to go to noxus, with all of the black rose/ medardas plotline nut runeterra has a lot more to offer (15 years of lore being writen). if you wanna dive in more into league universe, they have a lot of cinematics at their yt channel1, some canon some not, but prety much fun to watch

[@jessekedar]

In the Ekko episode, i think that world isn't better just because of no hextech. My theory is that Vi dying in the blast caused that worlds Heimerdinger to actually pay attention to Zuan and see first hand how bad he'd neglected the poor regular people and how bad conditions were that would drive "kids" to take that risk. In the main timeline, he didn't "know" how bad it was down there till he was kicked out of his council.

[@penguinstan8855]

I honestly don’t think jinx died. At the explosion you can see her violet light flash away, you also see Caitlyn looking at the blueprints of the building seeing the air vents she smiles. Powder also said she wanted to ride a blimp one day and at the very end you see a blimp flying off the jinx writing saying the end. I’m like 90% sure she is still alive.

[@carlosvaldez3093]

if riot has not change the lore for yordles then heimerdinger (and even smeech) is alive and well. upon a yordle's death, they get teleported back to their city/sanctuary --- Bandle city. Yordles are beings that has plot armor lol

[@horizon5873]

I loved watching you reacting this show this is my fav and I'll keep watching what you do

[@tylerjohn18yt29]

JINX ISN'T DEAD!!! If you look at carefully just before the explosion, you can see a purple line dart to the side. This is meant to be Jinx using shimmer to escape into an air duct Faking her own death because she knows as long as VI thinks she's alive, she'll be putting herself in harms way to find her and not being able to move on

[@safeontalk]

Im surprised the top comment isnt abou the many reasons jinx clearly survived, they drop like 3 huge hints at that in the ending (even though i needed a video to explain it haha), but yea she clearly lived

[@santana7301]

I've been waiting for their reaction specifically

[@LegitLord2000]

I like to think Heimerdinger righted all his wrongs. Went back and saved Zaun before everything went really bad

[@anac.1455]

Fun fact that I noticed. If you stop at the right frame around the time Jinks shoots at the intro, you can see a little glimpse of what's going to happen in the episode. Such a little detail that show's how much they care. And btw nobody can change my mind that the actual ending is Jinks reunited with her family. After all the loss she deserves.

[@MMolly0516]

YES!! i was waiting for your reactions guys haha :D

[@dejatwixt9214]

1) Heimer lived, his race are immortals. Been awhile but either he is still in that alternative universe or went somewhere else, but they don't die, ever. Think Highlander (unless head is cut off...) 2) Jayce/Vicktor most likely died or them turning like celestrial maybe went somewhere else but it was those 2 (especially Jayce) that caused all of the issues in the show, even though him and Viktor did not mean to. 3) Vander/Warwick. Pretty sure Isha killed Vander part of Warwick in that episode and it was just Warwick being controlled now. 4) Vi/Caitlyn, glad they made amends and are a couple as they did seem sweet together. 5) Jinx. She lived, doesn't take a rocket scientist to see. Blue lightning at the explosion? She shimmered. Caitlyn looking at the blueprints and smiling, that right there you knew. And the airship, she was on it. Jinx wanted to fake her death to move on and also make it to where Vi no longer had to try and look after her. I just still want to know the falling out of Silco and Vander, i'm sure it had to do with their mom but still i wish we were able to see why they stopped being friends.

[@bmnbl]

Truly a tragedy. What a masterpiece.

[@BattleAngelFan99]

I've watched several reactions to season 2 and only just now it hit me completely that we supposedly lost Heimerdinger. Or, at least, he's not in the original universe. I guess he gets back there somehow eventually? It's kind of weird that this series seems to be an origin story for many of these league champions, yet Heimerdinger is gone. And no, Jinx and Warwick aren't gone, though I think Jinx is seeing the world a bit. Warwick could easily survive an explosion and a fall I imagine. I also find it odd that Caitlyn is missing an eye. I don't think that was supposed to be a thing with her character. edit: It sounds like they planned to make some changes to the characters in the game based on their changes in Arcane, so I guess now Caitlyn has an eyepatch in the game. I don't play it, but this is what I read.

[@nicksttrs]

This one is for the fans! Don't know why thet hasn't dawned on me until you said it.

[@themediater]

Pretty funny that the war crime vivisecting scientist man is the only one who ended the show having gotten everything he wanted.

[@mrcroob8563]

Ambessa told vi that because of the void vi left in caitlyn she was able to fill it. Literally and figuratively i suppose 😂

[@houston8273]

The black rose lady (leblanc) did not die from Mel I imagine that story will continue in the next show.

[@AbstractJJJ]

With Heimerdinger and Ekko going to a great reality, Jayce is totally Kate McKinnon's character from the alien abduction sketches on snl.
