It Was Just A Mistake... | ARCANE [1x1-1x3] (REACTION)

[@andythierry5402]

Yes, the fact that you picked up that Silco identifies with Powder because they were abandoned by siblings is amazing. Most people just assume he wants to use her because he's the bad guy, but his thought process in that scene is much deeper than the reactors I've seen so far think.

[@SinSinny]

Yea I remember when this first came out so many ppl misinterpreted their relationship and some ppl even tried to say it was sexual just bc she sat in his lap to interrogate him. I never understood that

[@oshwaganda]

@@SinSinnyit was also toxic tho a lot of ppl romanticize their relationship also

[@SinSinny]

@@oshwaganda I didn’t say it wasn’t toxic and I already acknowledged that last part

[@uhwaykin]

@@oshwaganda People are toxic. That’s good writing. People are also responsible for what they romanticize. If someone is dumb enough to look at Joker and Harley or Silco and Jinx (especially weird because that’s a father and a daughter) as a paradigm for romance, that’s their problem not Arcane’s.

RE: the word "arcane," it's a word that's meant to mean anything to do with magic or the mystical, sort of like the word "occult."

[@CrazeeAdam]

I think with Powder's break down and eventual going into Silco's arms. She was an orphan and abandoned in a way once, obviously not by her parents choice... And now again by Vi... Easy to go into someone's arms

[@alvinsmith3894]

She wasn't abandoned by vi. vi just wanted to calm down because she realized she was hurting powder. You can't blame her for being upset. She was a kid too. And she tried to get back to her but Marcus kidnapped her. You were also gaslighted by silco into thinking that vander betraying him and their cause is the same as vi trying to calm down to avoid further hurting powder

[@Litbolb]

​@@alvinsmith3894sure Vi didn't abandon Powder, but from Powders perspective she did

​@@alvinsmith3894 No one was gaslit, Just FOR POWDER perspective her sister abandon her And it was only reaffirmed by what Vi said, It's not Vi's fault, but still, it makes 100% sense from her perspective. And Silco didn't manipulate Powder, he genuinely thought Vi had abandoned her just as from his perspective Vander had betrayed him.

[@ratkid7188]

Silco and Powders relationship started from a trauma bond and im so happy you guys recognized that. I think alot of people assume Silco only does this bc he wants to use her (which i understand) but i dont share that opinion. I genuinely think Silco saw himself in her.

This is a perfect example of how it can enhance our enjoyment of fantasy worlds!

[@Tekkerue]

Just to let you know for future uploads, you don't have to mute/muffle the music. Other than the main theme song Enemy (which is owned by Imagine Dragons) the rest of the music is produced by Riot they are very content creator-friendly by allowing use of their products like music. You only have to edit the show to avoid issues with Netflix, but if there is music playing you can let it play. The music plays a major part of certain scenes coming up in future episodes and it's nice to hear it in reactions. And a fun fact, Powder's voice actress was 11-12 years old at the time of recording. She did such an incredible job! 🤯

[@The_Wild_Healer]

I didn't even really want to watch this show, but as a long time league player I couldn't say no to free in-game rewards from watching the premier on twitch. I didn't expect to spend my evening crying after watching act 1 like that LOL

[@Drake844221]

This series is... on another level, honestly. And, yes... they don't hold back with the tragedy of it all. One thing that it feels like a lot of people underestimate is where Vander is challenging Silco on why he is doing this, asking if it is for pride. Silco's response of "for respect!" resonates with me... on a very personal level. Even when this show came out, within my own household with my family... I was being starved of respect. What people who have never been through that don't realize is how... essential to life it is. Heck, it literally has a place on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Being denied respect can be as... well, terrifying as being drowned. Don't get me wrong. What Silco does as a result is still very wrong. But from my own lived experience... I know how he got to that kind of... frantic determination to do what he had to in order to survive. Silco and everything that he stands for is the monster that the council created.

But the character development and exposition is where this series shines...for me, anyways. There are seemingly "good" characters who have done or will do bad things throughout the show and there are "evil' characters who, despite their methods sometimes, are justified in their actions. They're very humanized and relatable in that way which is what makes this series one of, if not the best show I've ever seen.
