There is a lot of negativity around season 2 of arcane right now. Try to remember that negativity gets the views. Also i understand many people are upset that the lore has changed so much. But sometimes taking a leap means leaving a few things behind ~Ekko. I think Skarner and Viktor have both changed recently for the better. The only character that has gone a bit far is Warwick and ill talk more about that in my should arcane be canon video.

[@Trish-im9pk]

They would have just shown ekko and Jinx happy I assure you Arcane e9 would have been rate 9.9 and everyone would be celebrating it lol . though out us never a bad show , it is a masterpiece the ending just feels rushed .

[@ksalfkdsg]

@@Trish-im9pk jinx doesnt even like ekko in the main timeline bruh. remember before this meeting the last time they met they had a fight that resulted in her death (then later she got revived with shimmer). Also for jinx there's no way for her to stay in zaun/piltover happy she has to start over elsewhere. It's not about caitlyn she's a massive criminal and has too many lives on her hands. She has to escape somehow. whereas for ekko his primary loyalty and concern is for his people, his firelight base. He's the leader there and he's not going to elope with jinx (he likes powder in the other timeline not jinx in the main)

btw, the the "monkey head" that caitlyn is holding in the ending is exactly the one from the grenade, that jinx used when she fell down the hextower with warwick. For me, this indicats, that they probably searched for jinx or at least for her dead body because they assume she must lie down there. So i am guessing that caitlyn is checking the blueprint of the hextower after the search, because jinx body could not be found. Then finding out about the ventilation system, leading to her guess that jinx is still alive

yeh bro try to find a body after that explosion, the smile wasnt about jinx either. she smiles cause vi hums. people just cant accept anything, its crazy

[@WingZeroCustom001]

@@marnie433it’s pretty clear that jinx survived?? The pink light in the explosion, the literal fact that we are shown air ducts in blueprints, the airship she wanted to fly in, the jinx style scratched text for the ending tag. Animation costs significantly more than film and nothing is animated without purpose. It’s obvious that these hints culminate in the conclusion that she survived. Ignoring it is just hard cope

[@echo7188]

@@marnie433idk on first watch I fully accepted that she had died but after seeing peoples reasons as to why they thinks she’s alive it actually seems possible. Way too many things suggest her not being dead but I can still acknowledge it’s a possibility, I just wouldn’t say “people can’t accept anything” is fair in a case where they made it pretty ambiguous. I know we see her fall and then the explosion but truly why not just show her dying on screen if she’s really gone…especially since she’s practically the face of the series, they either made it ambiguous because they want to let the fans decide which ending they think is more fitting for jinx or because she’s still alive and they want to leave hints suggesting as much. I do think they could have made the hints more obvious if she is alive though bc there’s the argument of “you can see a line of pink shimmer before the explosion!!” like um no I cannot see shit there are tears in my eyes ☠️ so it’s easy to miss and I do think if she is alive it cheapens her “death” a bit for people who didn’t catch any of the hints and fully accepted she’s gone

[@I_have_Claws]

@@HK-gm8pe I think the reason she unbraids her hair is because she had finally lost her identity and hope after losing Isha and also for being imprisoned. The braids are a staple to her design and character, so I think she cuts all it off in the end to symbolize a new purpose she has for herself.

@ Are you kidding? She would absolutely defend a rebel attack. What was Vander's plan anyway? I remember Matriarch Kiramann for not an image but a sound. The shotgun. I don't blame her for it. She is protecting the ones she loves. But she would do anything to protect her family and to the larger extent Piltover including killing Powder and Vi's family. And yes, it was great that she thought that the people of Zaun "had the right to breathe" and she needs to be remembered for it. More than anyone else in Piltover ever did for Zaun after all. But still "right to breathe" when you think of it, kind of too little don't you think? They may be a bunch of animals but even animals have a "right to breathe". As for Jinx and the building. She didn't care one way or the other if anyone would be hurt, but indeed if it was off hours no one would have likely been there. In fact I believe they were having a late night meeting to give Zaun its independence. I do think her mentioning to Cait though that she didn't have in her mind killing her Mom was important in the fact she was saying it wasn't a personal attack on Cait. Not much but indeed something.

@@entgrove Bro, ya'll got theories for centuries, but you lack basic investigative and perceptive curiosity. That's not a "vinyl" that plays at the beginning. It's a steel disc. They were used in music boxes in the late 1800's in the real world. If you've ever seen a cylindrical music box, one that rotates like a tube and has those little metal ridges on it, this is the flat version of one of those, and they really did exist. In fact there is a company that still makes finely crafted music boxes from antiquity for around $10,000.00 a piece. You can find the discs around from various eras including modern ones anywhere from $35 to $100. It's Piltover, man. Everything there is gear-work related. Adding those music boxes with metal music discs is wickedly clever. There are no such things as vinyl record players or albums in that world. Go look up pictures on Google of "metal music box discs" and you will find a bunch of ones that exactly like the ones they open the show with.

He also sees what could have been. In our universe, he gave up on Jinx. He sees the alternate universe and how much Powder has helped him and realises that he was too quick to surrender. In the alternate timeline he admits as much to Powder. "I gave up on you" or something like that and she says: "You never give up" (paraphrasing). That shows him that he shouldn't give up and that there are good people to build a future for (in his mind Powder/Jinx who he abandoned in S1)

Has anyone noticed that throughout the events of the series, from the warehouse explosion to the end of Arcane, Jinx is constantly being watched by ravens? Swain clearly chose Jinx for his plans, as in the final scenes, his raven shatters the remains of Jayce's hammer and takes the hex gem. The only person, aside from Jayce, who can turn hextech into a weapon is Jinx, who has just set off for Ionia. I’m convinced Swain will seize the opportunity to capture Jinx and force her to create hextech weapons for Noxus.

[@JoaoLopes-vw7tr]

@@granknight I don't know how many times Riot changed the lore to be honest, but at any rate that was not my point. As I got into the lore from Arcane and not the game itself (I did play the game but didn't know its lore), when I read the first time that "Jinx may end up with Lux because they're very close in the game", I chose to believe it, even though I felt disappointed that the Ekko setup was apparently getting dropped. Then one day I'm corrected by someone who says Jinx and Lux never actually met in the game and it's all just some people's wishful thinking born from game skins (and a cartoon or something?). After spending some time searching to confirm it, I realized they were right. Obviously I felt deceived. I'm not against shipping, I'm against misinformation. And that's why I added my first comment to yours, so other people don't fall into the same trap I did. On another note, I don't understand why any shipper would feel the need to squeeze their prefered pairing into a canon in which one of the characters already has a romantic connection. And this is Jinx who we're talking about, who goes through enough mental turmoil in Arcane, for some people to prefer squeezing her into another romance and add the emotional stress of a love triangle, it feels disrespectful to both the character of Jinx and her journey in the show. Not to mention the disrespect towards Ekko and his own story, which becomes so connected with Jinx's during that final act. Please don't take this as a rebuttal to your comment. I'm simply elaborating on where I'm coming from with these feelings. Cheers for reading.

And Vi was seemingly doing alright, for someone who had just lost her sis and dad for good. I think it was the director's way of ensuring we as the viewer understood Cait didn't tell Vi, due to bad intentions, as in still feeling hate towards Jinx. But it just being for Vi's best. To also get an end to that emotional/angry part of Cait, and give us a sense of Cait and Vi was ready to move on and create a good life.

Jinx is not the protagonist, Jinx is the protagonist of Arcane along with Vi, but the creators have already said that they want to give prominence to other characters and new Runeterra stories.

She will look for jinx cause i think while its good jinx walked away the problem is she believes those who get near her die. She cast herself out so in the end i think their character arcs arent done. Vi needs to learn to trust others to handle themselves n powder needs to accept she isnt a jinx.

I am actually planning to write a fanfiction like that

[@Thenewkrookkud]

Traveling after her would completely demean everything he was telling her and what she was working towards. No matter the past, it's not too late to build something new. If he knew she planned to leave after the battle going after her would mean dragging her back to the past she was trying to bury. Were he to go WITH her could be a different story. We don't know the depths of what their interaction was after he got her attention. But he obviously had an effect on her. Maybe they both came to the conclusion that starting over would be best for her, but knowing Jinx often relies on the company of others, she could have asked him to come along. It would be cool. It wouldn't be a lot, but it would at least give us a chance to dive deeper into whatever their relationship is, since we've barely touched the surface even between these two seasons, whether it be platonic or romantic. Only thing is, Ekko is a Zaun character. More than any other Zaun character. His motivations have always been about improving his community and changing his city for the better. It'd be character assassination were they to take the chance at splitting him from that origin. Basically, I'm just saying i dunno. I just wanted more context with them. We only got tablescraps.

IF the series follows Jinx post-Arcane, we still have a CHANCE to get an entire episode presenting all the material of Ekko and Jinx bonding before the final battle. Let's hope that that's why they cut it.

[@jcm2606]

I fully believe that they cut it for runtime reasons, but that's actually not a bad idea to bring it back. Even if it's just Jinx recounting the scenes to somebody else (which I think would work better than a straight flashback, plus it would be much easier to work into a new show), it'd be nice.

[@GeneJohnson-vy2ci]

@@jcm2606 As much as we might wish can Jinx fit into any other show? I don't want a shallow interpretation of Jinx. If these other shows are going to be about other places in that universe then the writers need to be skilled enough to fit her into the other places organically and not forced as a remember berry She isn't a character we would be happy with saying "oh look, here's Jinx" the way they could do to let's say Cait where they could have a scene where other members of that planet get together at the current place for a cameo allied in some fight or whatever. If Jinx is there I want Jinx. I don't even know how I would feel about a graffiti scene which would indicate Jinx is there somewhere. One problem with Jinx is if she gets involved again (when her theme right now is walk-a-way) her motivations are going to have to be well written. She doesn't seem to be at a point where she would get involved because she is a "good revolutionary" and she recognizes injustice or something like that. It will have to be something personal for her. She doesn't do causes. She is too wise for that. She's no idealist. I still don't know what a post Isha Jinx looks like. She obviously doesn't want to kill herself anymore but beyond that she still sees herself and her role in the world as well what her name means. People around her get hurt. They get killed. Right now if I would have to guess she believes the best thing she can do for the world is "walk away" and not ever get close to anyone else again because people who do end up hurt or dead. I know this sounds dark but I don't even know why she saved herself. Perhaps it was something Ekko said but I don't know what he could have. I get the comedic value the creators might see in her as someone who can come in and create chaos at a key moment, but again, I would feel cheated. I really would not be satisfied with spectacle without motivation. I don't want her to become a caricature of herself.

[@cngotham4111]

@@zeldaxninja3214 They're making new shows for different regions in Runeterra. Specifically, Ionia, Demacia, and Noxus were all confirmed as being in the next shows (3 more seasons of shows at least, idr if they said that part recently but in the past it was mentioned that they had originally set aside money and planned for 5 seasons of shows, including Arcane). Having Jinx presumably leave on an airship seems like obvious setup for her to show up in the future in one or multiple of these regions.

[@sweettt321]

The ending of this video made realize that it's not often I see youtubers talk about suicidal thoughts and tendencies. Something as simple as saying that that's not the answer and that people aren't alone can help at least one person. That was really lovely

[@ClockworkGod]

The ending for her is growing on me, but I do wish we’d seen Ekko and Jinx talk more before they joined the battle, I wanna see how she goes from trying to end it to assisting in the battle. In an interview Christian Linke also implies Ekko told her about the AU so that’d would have been interesting to see. And I wish "breaking the cycle" had been brought up a bit earlier? To me, given how I do feel season 2 was rushed quite a bit (they did cut it down from 5 seasons to 2 and I feel that you CAN TELL) they maybe should’ve brought this narrative up in act 1 or 2 already. But I do hope, even if she doesn’t reunite with Vi, she will at least do so with Ekko, Christian Linke did mention he felt the rekindling of their relationship (romantic or not) would be worth exploring moving forward with their story in an interview. To me I understand her leaving behind Vi (for perhaps both their sakes) but I feel that leaving Ekko behind completely with no intention of ever looking back kinda weakens Ep 7 a bit, and the significance of actually managing to save her this time (the boy savior).

[@shabbacabba]

Caitlyn literally says "the cycle of violence will never stop" to Ekko in S1E7 to get him to agree to hand over the gemstone. It's also the line where we can see Vi really look and take notice of Caitlyn in a meaningful way. But, even ignoring that explicit mention of the idea of cycles of violence back in S1, the whole show has a very strong theme of violence only breeding more violence; suffering leading to suffering. Every time there is a big fight sequence in S1, it ends horribly for all involved, and only causes even worse violence later in season 2. It may not have always been explicitly stated, but the theme was there. Why does Jinx leaving make Ekko saving her in E7 less significant? She gets to live. He helped her find the will to live again. Just because they aren't going to be in each others lives moving forward doesn't make that any less powerful or meaningful, if you ask me. A life saved is a life saved. It's not about what Ekko gets out of doing it, it's about helping Jinx move on. With or without him. That's love, right there. Selfless.

Alternatively it could have been something his mentor Benzo told him once.

I think Ekko say it to Jinx after he saw Vander and Silco on the other universe as friends

[@o.d.d.343]

11:05 the line Ekko says probably means "someone worth building it for" aka he was thinking about Powder from the other timeline, basically saying theres always someone worth building a better future for and sometimes you are also that someone(Jinx).

[@IndividualTour1]

Pretty sure Ekko is referring to AU Powder, and her willingness to help build the Z-drive despite her getting Vi killed in their timeline. - "That no matter what happened in the past,..." [AU Powder killing Vi with the hex crystal] - "It's never too late to build something new..." [refrencing Powder helping w/ the Z-drive, with Jinx even noticing her signature toy monkeys] - "Someone worth building it for..." [AU Powder building it for Ekko] That's at least how I interpreted his dialogue initially. Less so a statement he heard from somewhere, but more an observation from a better version of Jinx.

[@blackouthorus1519]

Same here

[@Maryln.Antoinette]

thought that was just general understanding

[@jkranites]

Apparently he told her of her AU self and them….

[@zewolfocanada]

I was thinking it was AU Silco saying "the greatest thing we do in life, is find the power to forgive". Not as directly related, but close enough

[@Thenewkrookkud]

He's using that experience as a reference, but when he speaks about things that happened in the past, he's talking directly about them. It's a complicated dive into Ekko's character because while the "someone special" refers to AU Powder, he's also referring to his timeline's Jinx.

[@nemezis23]

12:33 Powder drew these lines under her eyes as a child, when they played with Ekko on the bridge

[@nexpic]

5:23 he say it to ekko 😂😂 he back in his timeline in a wink

[@MiraBoo]

2:04 Small correction, but there are at least two fundamental changes. One, of course, being Vi’s death which leads to Jayce’s Hextech research successfully being shut down. The other: Silco found the letter, forgave Vander, and never utilized Shimmer to take over Zaun. (Shimmer might still exist in some form, but it’s not widespread.) I’d argue that Silco’s forgiveness and the lack of Shimmer contributes more to Powder’s happiness than the prevention of Hextech. If Silco remains vindictive and cruel, Shimmer is produced, Vander gets kidnapped, and without Vi to lead the crew, the rescue may still fail. There might be no Hextech crystal for Powder to explode, but the fallout could still be just as traumatizing.

[@Elena29564]

some of the catches here are really good. the hairstyle parallelism, the mise-en-scene callbacks, etc. etc.

[@pepperoneyman14]

Glad someone else had the exact idea as me. I tried figuring out which direction the blimp was headed by trying to analyze the sun and horizon, any shadows we could see, and even the direction the wind is pushing the clouds. Ionia make that most sense, especially if Jinx wants to start over in a place of harmony. But like you stated, i dont think thats what she'll find with the noxus invasion there. If anything I feel she may get caught up in a Noxus vs. innocents in Ionia and just like she stepped up to protect Isha, she'll step up again to defend those who cant defend themselves against the Noxus threat. This then can tie into mel headed back to Noxus and maybe she gets pulled in that direction in an effort to try and remove the Noxus occupancy in Ionia and runs into Jinx.

[@danelmore6553]

He learned it from "alternate" Power. No one said it to him, but it was the theme of episode 7. It is what he himself had to convince Powder of, to overcome her complacency with herself. Same sentiment here, same resigned psychological state, though resigned to different things because different Powder.

[@n30sp4rk]

It's possible that Ekko is going with her. "Genius and madness go hand in hand." Pretty sure the undercity still thinks Ekko is dead for the most part. He's built a community and can continue inspiring as an icon on that mural so he could disappear without making a huge stir. Biggest evidence though is at the menorial scene he only burns 1 name: Hemerdinger, who sacrificed himself to get Ekko home. With Ekko's feelings for powder there is no way he wouldnt burn a note for her. Also he isnt at the memorial on the bridge but tucked away from everyone hinting many possibilities besides the narrative relevance of that spot.

That or he stepped down. Scar took over when he was gone for what looked like 3 months to a year. He doesn’t need to lead anymore. Plus during the time he was gone scar made peace with the rest of zaun and possibly made it to the council with savika (he was invited to the war room and it would make sense for zaun to have multiple reps. 1 for each floor preferably. Just missing middle floor) so it’s not even like echos type of leadership’s needed anymore. The firelights are in politics now. They need someone who can play the game not play the people.

We are introduced to Noxus and we keep our fav characters. WIN WIN Situation. Who knows maybe... They already did quite a lot of changes to lore, so why not go all in.

excited to see where they go to next, praying to find the patience to wait for whenever that is going to be. Hope you're right about the jinx call and we get to see the sisters reunite sometime in the future. Would be insane.

I wish all shows had this level of detail it would make everything better
