THE FINALE DESTROYED ME - *ARCANE* Reaction - 2x9 - The Dirt Under Your Nails

[@alexie5201]

27:11 I think the word "soulmates" describes it perfectly. Destined to be in each other's life, to form a strong bond, and to save each other in every possible way. Beautifully written story.

[@blogxooz1]

They left some clues that Jinx may have escaped.

[@BattleAngelFan99]

The very intentional clues are all the proof I need that she did escape. But also, Runeterra needs Jinx. We love Jinx too much.

[@gabrielsetznagl]

Ambessa "there's no space for two super villans here" Jinx "you could be a villan, but not a super one" Ambessa "what's the difference?" Jinx "THE ENTRANCE"

[@justinriley]

Caitlyn looks like she's about to assemble the Avengers at the end.

[@robertorodriguez749]

Caitlyn fury

[@ericloflin6416]

Power's first line in S1-E1 when the airship flew over their heads, "One day, I'm going to ride on one of those...". Last scene in S2-E9, an air ship sailing away from Piltover and it scrambles with Jinx's static. There was no other reason for the airship to be the final scene.

[@jeffkoenig7402]

Jinx was right, Vi couldn't save him. That wasn't Vander, that was Warwick. Vander died in episode 8 when all of his memories were destroyed in Singed and Viktor's hextech transformation when the robots and Viktor's new look were created.

[@alexie5201]

30:24 She said, "Get out of here, Ekko", which can be interpreted as "Go away and let me die in peace", but I think she also didn't want him to get hurt.

[@ravenjo9145]

she talks to him the same way she talks to her illusions, which means...?

[@aranthur]

I'm sure other people will explain it, but there's actually a decent amount of evidence that Jinx is still alive. She just chose to fake her death for the sake of her sister Vi has lived her entire life feeling responsible for her sister, and if she knew Jinx was still alive, she would follow and protect her for the rest of their lives. But Jinx knows that the happiest life Vi could have is in Piltover with Caitlyn, while she herself could never truly start over and learn to live a happy life without leaving Piltover behind and going somewhere far away So she sets her sister free to finally live for herself and find her own happy ending by letting her believe Jinx is dead

[@cristiancesargomes8864]

It's exciting to realize that Jinx tried to kill herself with the explosion, thinking that Ekko was one of the hallucinations, but when she realized it was really him, she tried to jump so as not to hurt him

[@nrgspike]

Yes, the name Ekko burns is Powder. Someone found a frame where you can see the end of a word: 'der' And since that's the spot where they kissed, it would make sense that's where he'd choose to say a final goodbye to her.

[@acereporter73]

The reaction to Maddie's reveal and ending is just... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@justinriley]

I don't think Jinx is actually dead.

[@alexie5201]

She's not. Which makes her sacrifice less sad but also less meaningful, in a way.

[@the_hand_of_the_king]

She's obviously alive.

[@crystalfire5564]

How many times can they kill Vander and still make us cry every time.

[@BlackShardStudio]

27:52 People were too busy what!? 😳

[@MrMakko75]

Powder, Episode 1, Season 1: "Someday I'm Going to Fly One of Those!"

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

I CALLED IT!!! Maddie and Ambessa working together!!!! And I feel so vindicated now that it was also confirmed by the lead writer!!! Maddie was a plant all along!! - Maddie was the first to beat her chest - Pulled from the car-thing during the memorial attack by huge Shimmer suit dude and NOT killed - Maddie was in bed (god that still makes me sick) trying to get Cait to see Ambessa is trying to “protect them” - Maddie was eaves dropping at the door when Cate & Vi had their argument about Powder - Maddie was carrying the bomb…and also sabotaged it - Maddie showed ZERO remorse or hesitation in pulling the trigger Then there is what Ambessa told Vi in Episode 6...."your absence provided a vacuum I was able to fill." She could have been meaning herself...but it is 100% confirmed now that she meant Maddie. And yes….the “I did appreciate your warmth”…not “I loved you, how could you betray me like this”, not “I will miss you”….simply she APPRECIATED it!! Someone who was simply a jilted lover would NOT just pull the trigger like she did, and in the single black and white image, you see her SMILING!!! Cait wasn’t anything to Maddie…she was a job.

The raven with 3 pairs of eyes are Emmisaries of Raum, A demon

[@cristiancesargomes8864]

you can see a single pink ray escaping from the explosion of jinx and vander at the end people think that jinx is on the ship left if piltove/zaun to break the cycle as silco said

[@aidandickson2747]

SPOILERS I think the reason jayce was able to fuse with the Stone was because he spent months in the Arcane Annihilation future where hex matter is like rooted into all nature and physics. Every second he spent in the ravine, breathing the air, drinking the water, eating the weird evolved lizards, he was changing and acclimating to that nature, so his body was receptive to the change. But when you say you thought it maybe meant he was being influenced, I realised the other day that sky says to Victor about an ancient voice guiding jayce when they're talking about what he did to Salo, and Victor thinks that means his judgement can't be trusted, but it was his own voice the whole time ☹️

[@amazedemon1]

Really enjoyed watching this season with you. Thanks Lexi!

[@raverdeath100]

the three (6) eyed raven is a direct reference to LoL's Swain.

[@greywarden5513]

6:39 Fcking KING!! Ekko will never get the flowers he should, that’s a MAN👑 The way Jinx eyes him down with the implication of what he’s actually saying…chills🥶

[@NguyenHai-ru3vy]

love ur works

[@mitchmatt6002]

They really put us through it, didn't they? 😭 Wish we had more seasons of Arcane to look forward to because I've grown so attached to these characters! So many sweet, emotional, badass, tense moments throughout, and it's been fun to hear your thoughts and commentary! Great job!

[@BattleAngelFan99]

So, Jinx is alive and in that lone airship sailing away at the end. I wonder if she's going to keep in touch with Ekko. I wonder about Jayce, Viktor and Heimerdinger. I'm still enough confused about what happened to each of them that I don't know where they are or if they're each alive in some way.

[@LeonStar155]

It was nice watching your Arcane reactions.

[@greywarden5513]

7:06 Check their bodies 😉 They have matching crowns💍 King AND Queen of Zaun😭

[@RahulBar-xf2xz]

Fukk this show means creators nailed it 😂

[@kylebooker1987]

14:35 "stop killing everyone!" but they're not tho. They're merely restraining them.

[@MrAndyboo]

OMG you’re so cute. I think Jayce and viktor are gone. But their sacrifice was beautiful. I’ve wanted that kind of brotherly love myself.

[@MrAndyboo]

But what’s cool about this show is its story of sisterhood, brotherhood, being a parent. It’s real life.

[@trestianb]

Jinx is not dead. If you pause the fall you will see why.

[@brunastephanie9387]

I love seeing people hating Maddie 😂

[@RealDukeOfEdinburgh]

Now can we get 2 or 3 Lost episodes a week ?😉

[@jeffkoenig7402]

All that would do is get her to the part where the show sucks faster.

[@kylebooker1987]

I just want to see one reaction in which the youtuber im watching actually wants the glorious revolution to happen as much as I do.

[@augustussmythe8379]

@@kylebooker1987 Right? 😭😭😭

@augustussmythe8379 I- I thought I was the only one. What's yo name? Cuz I was beginning to think no one agreed with my pov.

[@AliLarson-h2i]

You guys know that it represents fascism, right?

[@w3der523]

@@kylebooker1987 Do you even understand that his "glorious evolution" means that everybody looses his emotions and that Viktor wanted to make everyone a lifeless zombie under his mind control? How would think this is a good idea

[@kylebooker1987]

@w3der523 Uh, dude his followers still had their emotions before jayce decided to go put a hole through Viktor.

[@andreascaviezel9500]

Powder diserv better at the end. You poor thing i was thinking
