Everything that NEEDS to happen in Arcane Season 2

[@ymir6286]

Vi doesn't have amnesia in the "old" lore. She knows where she grew up, she knows who she grew up with, she knows all of her old connections in the undercity and uses them in her work with Cait, she knows who Jinx is. The whole "not remembering" most of her childhood thing is from when she was found, as a toddler.

[@helenline1790]

I really dont think they'll do the amnesia thing. They're definitely not sticking to the game lore. Arcane is the new canon now. The Arcane characters are THE characters of League now.

[@ActuallyAndrewYT]

The only reason I think they will is because of the way the music video shows how she disassociates mentally. And with all the brain damage she’s going to get from fighting constantly, best cast scenario is she re-remembers everything overtime without forgetting most of her childhood.

[@helenline1790]

​@ActuallyAndrewYT I think that's just her drinking, letting herself go deeper and deeper into depravity. I don't think she'll get any brain damage, but I do think that Jinx might help her/forgive her from this low state that she's in because that writers have said that one of the themes of season 2 is forgiveness. "Can a monster be forgiven." To quote one if the showrunners.

[@helenline1790]

So yeah I think it would be strange with the theme of forgiveness if Jinx genuinely wants to have a proper talk with Vi about what happened in the past and Vi just has no clue what she's talking about because of amnesia haha.

[@ActuallyAndrewYT]

Yeah I think that’s a fair read of the scene. On the topic of “forgiveness” I think the first person to forgive/talk to Jinx is going to be Ekko since we see her paint on him in a lot of the trailer. But I honestly think Vi will be too busy with everything else going on for her to have a real conversation with Jinx until it’s too late.

[@cennix]

I don't think they will do the amnesia either.

[@GonWhacktalker]

There's one thing we all know is gonna happen in Season 2. Vi punching bad guys. (Season 2 might crush me)

[@sofidelgado557]

i just wanted to point out one thing. jinx is definitely NOT rooting for vi's downfall. in the clip you showed of her staring down vi passed out, you can see a tear in her eye. she's not happy to see vi like this and is hoping to see her rally (hence, betting on her.) @7:11

[@sparksdog8111]

I love how "La Franc" is now the official name for "sewers" in the Actually Andrew Cinematic Universe.

[@matthewhungerford1861]

the shadow figure is le blanc look up a picture of her and its dead on. its the season 1 model of caitlyn in the nothing to lose clip, not season 2 model so thats pretty pointing to the idea that caitlyn the noble enforcer is gone. people seem to forget alot of Cats morals were the result being shelter, ekko calls her out on this its easy to be her when its not her love ones dying (big problem in Real life). it looks like everyone is being put in the other shoes, Vi is the jinx/powder of the group someone who no one wants her help as she makes problems worse. Jinx is now the Vi and now has to make decisions based on that and caitlyn is the zaunite who will never get justice and just has to suck it up. its likly Vi choose's Cat in act 1 only for things to go horrible wrong which is the theme of what happens when Vi chooses Cat over her sister. we also see cats and ambessa symbol together as well. Arcane isn't really sticking to plot armor protects MC's from consequences from bad decisions which plague modern media.

[@arcanekanuck]

I hate knowing and Can't say,but that is the way it is.

[@ActuallyAndrewYT]

👁️

[@thedarksoul4585]

wait what if that black figure is the Noxian princess whom Ambessa killed back in Mel's flashback scene? and she is revived somehow... ummm people also talk about LeBlanc alot because of this soo yeah maybe Leblanc revived her or some shit like this....

[@StephenLeGresley]

Andrew, this is an amazing video and you should be proud of it but now I'm even more sad that I have to wait for season 2 😆

[@polarsmile1721]

you're so underated, this video is so good

[@ActuallyAndrewYT]

Thank you. I appreciate it :)

[@aetherwolf9288]

2 Things: 1. Have a bit of faith in the writers my man. They pulled of Cartoony bad guy and dreamy pixie girl as well as a gay female lead with no prior experience. They won’t mess up now. They can’t as the story was written 5 years ago. Secondly (Spoiler warming) referring to the concept art there is an additional layer that is very very easy to miss. The songs of Arcane season 1 paint a continuous story of Powder and Ekko. Vi has no own song except for Vanders Undercity in the form of Playground. Powder (not Jinx but Powder) has in total 3 songs and is part of most of them (exceptions being just Misfit Toys aka Ekkos song, Dirty little animals aka Silcos Undercity and Playground aka Vanders Undercity). Also the songs tell the story of Arcane. So Powder is the main character of the series. Not Vi. Vi gives you a perspective but she is not the protagonist (Powder is also the only character we get an inner perspective further proving this point). Why do I mention all of this: Its because of What could have been. So the basics: Goodbye, Guns for Hire and What could have been are the Powder songs. All unite a few key factors: 1. Played in F-Moll. 2. Piltovers theme is present (aka the violins). 3. The sisters theme is present in some variation (exception being Goodbye because of their breakup). 4. Someone sings about Powder and Jinx (most likely the hallucination of Vander as we never see him except for the last scene conjured by Vi). 5. They all have 2 strophes contrasting each other. What could have been is all about the decision Powder makes at the end of season 1 (to trust Silco and abandoning her sister). So the strophes are about the duality of this decision (main theme of Arcane so we could be on the right path): 1. Jinxes happiness to be „complete“ and of value and to be appreciated for who she is by Silco the only person she can trust, who believed in her. 2. The pain and anguish she feels because the only person Powder wants in her life cannot accept who she became. That Silvika wasn’t lying. That she is truly alone. And guess what both strophes have an crescendo but the crescendo about her happiness falls flat by one half note behind the crescendo about her pain. Her pain of losing Vi > her happiness for being perfect as Jinx. This ties back to the theme that no one in Arcane can break the bounds of love. This also ties back to the fact that Vi could reach Powder right before Silco died. Vi simply didn’t understood what was happening. This contrast Ekkos attempt with Dynasties and Dystopias as he brought Powder back in the past where the monsters could be fought and Vi being the protector she is. Ekko failed because Powder hadn’t the same bond with him as with Vi. Vi failed because she was talking to Jinx and not to Powder. Thats also why Powder tried to kill herself alongside Ekko (to stay in the past) and why she sided with Silco in the end. What Im saying is that Jinx is a mask to hide Powder. And Powder is freaking strong. So the concept art could be interpreted way differently based on these themes and ideas. I believe Powder and Vi leave Piltover at the end of the season and while Powder still hides behind Jinx because thats the only way the world will see her, Vi will still be sad because parts of her sister died on the bridge. Vi holding her sister like that could simply be a mad world of Vi. Finally and this I should have added at the beginning because this is now a point three: How the f*ck can Viktor and Jace survive the impact but Mel dies? This „tattoo“ is made out of some kind of metal and has magic properties (this glow at the end of season 1 wasn’t natural or a reflection of the bomb). The hex core wasn’t there to save Viktor and just a quick shimmer infusion would only save him (but Jace needs to survive). Also he has no shimmer left (thats because Sky died and he wasn’t down in the Undercity to get more). Something that I personally could also see is that the impact didnt kill anyone but just severely injured/drained Mel and the council dies at a later point (maybe the attack of the Chembarons which would make sense as we definitely get a timeskip somewhere for Cupcake to become sherif [I mean who would even choose Cupcake over someone more respected of the enforcers, because remember under Marcos watch she wasn’t really the best representation for the enforcers and had a lot of enemies]). I will definitely have an eye on this channel because you may not believe this but Im obsessed with the series. But yeah Thanks for reading. If you have questions feel free to ask them. Have a nice day AEther

[@StephenRansom47]

10:38 about these Seven Plagues of Egypt: are we talking about the biblical ones? 🤔 I just want to be prepared for Armageddon Andrew. - I think that Mel will die within the first episode. This will help solidify many of the predictions you’ve made.

[@Corbintalkstomuch]

The man has uploaded. Too bad I can’t watch it because I haven’t finished the first season lol

[@ActuallyAndrewYT]

It’s time to strap you to a chair.

[@Tekkerue]

0:31-0:40 This is so relatable! 😂

[@cennix]

How the hell do you not have more subs?? So underrated! Also about mel's armour. Alot of people were saying that she used Zhonyas hour glass or something similar, its an item from the game that pretty much looks exactly like her armour glowing gold. However i do think she will die because Jayce has to become more mean, because in his game canon hes very arrogant. I also highly doubt they will kill any in-game characters. I know arcane is canon but so is league, so it woukd be weird as hell for a dead character to talk to and have voice lines with a character that is alive.

[@StephenRansom47]

Regarding this figure 15:26 the detail under the eyes is a feature of Mel’s design 🤔… so the throne room, the gold motif and the theme of psychic hauntings, all point in this direction. - Actually Andrew 👏 so glad for this Season Announcement. A man needs something to serve. 😅 #ArcaneAwakenings

[@kirby7294]

I need Arcane to be good.

[@ActuallyAndrewYT]

Real

[@ryanmatthews3609]

it won't be.

[@HK-gm8pe]

yes she doesnt have an armor but Mel def has an object whitch allows her and Jace to survive maybe even zhonyas hourglass...looks exactly like that when you use it in the game , Viktor will survive because of hextech/shimmer thing he did to himself everyone else in the council are dead for sure, im concerned that many are going to be disapppointed with the 2nd season, writers truly arent lying when they say that every character is going to be opposite of what they were in season 1 and I have seen many people being not happy about that, like people expect Jinx be the BIG villain of the season but I dont believe so , trailers are always very misleading , so you dont get the spoilers, I also believe that characters need to die but I am very interested in how they are going to do it....since arcane is now canon and if they kill EKKO or JINX....for example popular character then they cant write future stories for him ...or they have to do it in a cheap manner like marvel " oh he is alive again"

[@thefluffybunny]

3:08 and even if it was armor it wouldn't do much protecting because gold is a soft metal

[@Groppy]

Viktor is literally me

[@ActuallyAndrewYT]

Glorious evolution

[@MTaszM]

There is ability in league where you can turn into a golden statue and be unlikable for that instant

[@Fionalah]

Literally no champion can die, they all have impenetrable plot armour sadly

[@mkmc94]

I disahree with almost everything but i respect the argumentations

[@_Cuertzia]

It’s fishmas!!! Or jinxmas??? Vimas???

[@Fionalah]

I liked your video but pretty much all of your main predictions will be wrong. There's literally no chance they'll have the balls to kill Mel, for a start. They'll play everything really, really safe. Vi and Jinx and absolutely guaranteed to get back together. Jinx will get a full rehabilitation arc. She's the mascot from the game and there's absolutely no way she dies. Ekko will be used as an impact character just like last season. He won't die obviously. But have an upvote anyway. I'm looking forward to your thoughts, you're perceptive and engaged.

[@vel306]

the mel take is dumb lol but expected edit: finished the video,, you are wrong about literally everything lol (almost)

[@SheevTalks]

Silco is best character sorry not sorry ✌🏻

[@LeonStar155]

I dont like your attutude after minute 3 so i left (i left a comment to support you chanel)

[@samantha40]

So I definitely buy into the golden armor theory simply because it matches too well with the game as well as there is a clear shot of it emphasized under her clothing before the rocket hits, but I do think she will eventually die. Perhaps it saves her via a coma or something long enough for Ambessa to take her place, maybe discover the gold armor shield and use it herself, idk. But mel will eventually die imo

[@crouchingidiot]

I trust the writers to make this season absolutely fantastic, no matter where it goes
