The Season 1 Finale... Here We Go! | Arcane 1x09 Reaction | ClaudieTV

[@GothicAlienX]

i just binged all your reactions and i haven’t found anyone that does it like you before, i hope more people find your channel! i love how many details you pay attention to. every time you apologize for going back, i’m like “no please keep doing it”, it’s so satisfying seeing you pick up on things and talk about all these details people don’t always look for. every time i hoped you’d see something or a specific detail, you always did. i looove that. i also love how much attention you pay to the cait and vi scenes bc i was watching all these other reactors earlier who would straight up skip their scenes and i’d get so annoyed and stop watching lol. i think ur my fav reactor now. i can’t wait to see your season 2 reaction, it only gets crazier

[@ClaudieTV]

They were skipping Caitlyn and Vi scenes?.... Ha.... what idiots 🙄🤣 Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you like that I go over and over things haha! ❤️

[@Shatterpath]

@@ClaudieTV I would like to second this comment. You have a real grasp for both larger picture and details and have noticed things that surprised me even after many, many reaction videos. Consider me a fan!

[@Vesparion]

I would like to second this comment as well.

[@cluster_f1575]

You know the writing is brilliant when you find yourself mourning the loss of the villain.

[@ClaudieTV]

Absolutely!

[@Gutzahn]

Compliments to the chef, I appreciate the thoughtfulnes with which youve watched this. Really thinking about the scenes, pausing for details and getting into the characters and their perspectives.

[@ClaudieTV]

Thank you so much! I loved it! Can't wait to get going with season 2!

[@Sjvacco]

Don’t apologize for how often you pause and reflect or rewatch sequences again. There’s so much care and intention behind the animation, I think you’re doing it a service to take your time with it. I finished watching part 2 last weekend and I’m totally emotionally hung over, it’s so validating to share that with other people 😂.

[@ClaudieTV]

Thank you so much! I can't wait to see what happens in Season 2!

[@Sjvacco]

Remember that you said this 😂 (Seriously though, it’s amazing, but feelings)

[@Sjvacco]

Oh, hey, unrelated but if you haven’t already you should check out Schnee’s videos. I love his breakdown of how Arcane handles gender and a bunch of other narrative themes. Maximum nerdity, and (watching how much you like to pull things apart) maybe up your ally.

[@edgarretana8377]

I love your attention to detail. You pick up on EVERYTHING.

[@ClaudieTV]

I do my best! Thank you so much!

[@ecpwrnl]

And onto season 2. Prepare for an emotional roller coaster.

[@ClaudieTV]

Already 💩ing myself ... 🤣

[@Maybonics]

Imagine not having to wait 3 years to find out who lived and who died!

[@ClaudieTV]

And it's still just as brutal haha! I can't wait to sink my teeth into season 2!

[@ChipnChep]

the "bridging the rift" making of documentary is here on youtube, it's amazing, it really shows how much love and thought and sweat went into everything.

[@ClaudieTV]

Yup first two episode reactions are out! Loved it! First one is here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKTGn4qVrq5qitU&ab_channel=ClaudieTV

[@matthewlayo9561]

Jayce has no idea that asking for Jinx is asking for Silcos daughter. To him she's just his head enforcer slash assassin. Silco actually trying to trade himself for jinx by saying she was working for him and they weren't her crimes.

[@ClaudieTV]

YES! Absolutely that was the moment I realised how much he loves her!

[@zonegum]

i still remember shouting "NO!!" after that ending, then having to wait 3 years. 😭can't wait to see your reactions to s2

[@ClaudieTV]

Honestly don't know how you guys waited so long! Must have been agony. S2 reaction coming very very soon 🥰

[@petearundel166]

@@ClaudieTV Well, speaking for myself, I survived the wait by watching every reaction video I could. Knowing that there were loads of people enduring the wait with me helped. ;-) BTW, I heartily recommend Tilda Owen's ( www.youtube.com/@tildaowen ) channel for thoughtful analysis.

[@Kittyfantastico]

The empathy you display for every facet of each character is something a lot of people could learn from. Being able to see WHY morally grey characters make the decisions they do and how it puts them on a path of conflict with loved ones, shows how you think deeply about their motivations

[@ClaudieTV]

Thank you so much! I'm very detail-oriented so I'm glad others like that :)

[@ScaryPunkGhost-25]

One of my favourite things about the parallel scenes where Jayce and Viktor interrupt each other's suicide attempts is the fact that in both cases, they don't discuss what was just stopped at all. Viktor and Jayce are both clearly aware of what they were interrupting but instead they tiptoe around the issue in a way that feels so realistic and honest.

[@ClaudieTV]

Yes that's very true! They're both not stupid. They know exactly what they stopped. 100%

[@ScaryPunkGhost-25]

I also love the double meaning of "is there anything so undoing as a daughter?". Silco clearly means that his love for Jinx has weakened him so much that he feels unable to accept something he has spent his whole life trying to achieve, while Jinx seems to hear it as him saying that he was planning to abandon her for his dreams since she means trouble for him.

[@Krusesensei]

Also, in my opinion, when Victor disarm Jinx Bomb, there was a moment of a suicide Idea Followed by Victors "there is Everytime a choice!!" Suicide and choices (and purpose. And belonging to smbdy) are big topics of this show.

[@babette5918]

You do Jinx's voice really well! Loved your reactions to Season 1. Love that you are watching bridging the rift. Subscribed!

[@ClaudieTV]

Thank you so much! Great to have you subscribed! 'Bravo Sis' 😉

[@vtvander58]

Oh my gosh!.....you're scene analysis and reactions are simply the best! Arcane is amazing! My wife & I (her name is Viola....I call her my 'sweety Vi') watched season one for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Didn't pick up nearly as much detail as you did though. You are razor sharp in your observations & attention to detail. And I must say you're also a lot tougher than me, good grief I was sobbing after nearly every episode! Keep up the good work and thank you so much!!! : )

[@ClaudieTV]

Ah thank you so much! Firstly 'sweety Vi' is adorable ❤️ Secondly haha I think it was just cause I was on camera, and the tears didn't necessarily flood. If I was watching alone, for sure I'd be balling haha! Thank you again for the kind words!

[@matthewlayo9561]

Silco tries to kill Vi because she is hurting Jinx. Her intentions are good, but every name she yells, while happy memories for Vi they are the demons that haunt jinx. Silco knows this. He knows her far better at this point than Vi. Its why he yells at jinx not to listen to her. IMO

[@ClaudieTV]

That's very interesting yes, hadn't looked at it that way before! That's a very interesting take!

[@Krusesensei]

So right. To remember: Vander was jinx dad for ~2-3 years. silco for ~10 ...

[@mathies3598]

Its just ironic that yes he knows this... but he always fails to admit his own fault in it. He is the one who's primarily to blame for their deaths, and he did it on purpose, and he's never ever said sorry for it. He's got no right to do what he thinks is best for Jinx in situations such as this IMO Silco is a VERY hypocritical character for me cuz he refuses to acknowledge the hurt he put Jinx through. And he says to Vanders statue that he understands him now, he understands whats it like to have to choose between the dream of Zaun and family, yet he still continues to try to convince jinx that vander and Vi will always betray them and "they will never understand"

[@Fionalah]

Watching your reaction as you fall to bits emotionally is so relatable! (Plus the deep voice and slightly working class accent and how pretty you are🤩 ) I think I've seen almost all the KZbin reactions over the last few years, and yours is absolutely one of the best. You need more people watching you so I recommended your channel on a few select subreddits. (Love your Jinx impression too!) You're just not ready for Season 2, and I can't wait to see you lose your mind again.

[@ClaudieTV]

Ah thank you this is so sweet 🥰 And, thank you for the subreddit shoutout, appreciate that a lot! Bravo sis 😏 About to begin recording S2 over next few days! Super excited after watching the BTS episodes!

[@MongooseVsGhost]

As others have said those 3 years waiting was kinda brutal. Dunno what I’m gonna do with myself now that this part of Arcane is over, brain rot arcane has inflicted on me is real. looking forward to see what you think of season 2!

[@ClaudieTV]

Yeah me too! I'm going to start watching over the next few days! Super excited!

[@babette5918]

Mels painting is of "the immortal bastion", a historic fortress in Noxus (where Mel and her mother are from), so she turned her back on Noxus (and her mother) when she voted for peace rather than for the war that her mother wanted.

[@ClaudieTV]

Gotcha!

[@mxbubbles4753]

Still remember watching the ending and having the impending realisation that I'd have to wait years for the next season, though it was definetly worth the wait. Also you should react to 'Bridging the rift' a 5 part documentery on the creation of Arcane, it's a fantastic watch they really go into all that goes on behind the scenes, the voice acting, the writing, the music, the sound effects, all the struggles they had getting it made plus it's very fun and quite emotional especially the last part. Even if you don't react to it I would definetly recommend giving it a watch in your own spare time.

[@ClaudieTV]

My first reaction to Bridging The Rift, will be out tomorrow afternoon! Loving it! So interesting! Don't worry it's on its way! Then cracking on with Season 2!

[@danc1513]

Nice little callback. In episode 1 when Ekko talks about Jayce coming into the shop (which lead to the tip that caused the heist) he says that he charged him double and he didn't even haggle. Now here in episode 9 Silco repeats that Jayce didn't even haggle. Can't wait for your reaction to season 2. I shed tears multiple times over the course of it. It's a hell of a ride.

[@ClaudieTV]

OMG yeah! That is interesting! Thank you for that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise! Oh I'm so excited for S2. Coming really soon, promise!

[@vtvander58]

After finishing Arcane we couldn't help bandying about words like astounding & masterpiece etc etc....all the while questioning our ability to even be able to endure a second season! But, I just can't stop laughing over your disappointment in the damage Vi did to 'that pool sort of table thing'....lol!!...you come out with so many amusing comments! There's a sort of medicinal quality to your reaction/reviews that really helps to take the edge off......just the tonic needed after that traumatic cliff hanger! Hopefully producing them is also helpful for you! Thanks again!! 😊😊

[@ClaudieTV]

I do like that pool table! Ah thank you so much for the kind words! Appreciate it alot, thank you!

[@WoJoFe]

Maybe S1 was the pinnacle of TV show writing, S2 went for some cheap tearjerky and a number of fan services. As a fan I enjoyed being serviced but the writing had far more shortcomings. All of a sudden it felt much more like one needed Arcane (haha) background knowledge, character development pacing seemed off at times and some plot events did't feel natural but rather pt there to instigate maximised viewer emotion and/or create repetition for repetitions sake. I still simp-love it but oh what could have been.

[@HiranoMagu]

41:46 It's the shimmer running through her body. You'll see it with everyone in the undercity who takes in shimmer (like Sevika or the Chemtech Guards with the giant helmets). It amplifies the bodies physical and mental abilities.

[@CescoSalvo]

I absolutely adore your reactions and analisies. Too bad we're already at the end of season one. 😅

[@ClaudieTV]

Thank you so much! Very sweet! 🥰

[@FlorV_007]

Thanks for reacting to this season, way to start you channel with a bang ! You are my favorite person I watched reacting to it (yeah I know, I'm dealing however I can with Arcane withdrawal syndrome now it is over 😅). Because of your clever thoughts, your genuine emotions (please don't ever change 🙏), your attention to details, and your love for Cait and Vi 🙂. So glad I discovered your channel, I will watch anything you post in the future. I would love for you to react to Severance if you haven't watched it yet, a whole different vibe than Arcane but I really enjoyed it as well and season 2 is coming soon. Just a thought !

[@ClaudieTV]

You are more than welcome! I'm so happy you have enjoyed it! ❤️ I will check it out and if it looks like my sort of vibe I'll add it to my list. First port of call, is Arcane season 2! That's the first thing to crack on with, and I'm super excited for it!

[@FlorV_007]

Oh yes, season 2 of Arcane comes first of course ! Sorry for the tangent about a next recommandation, I get too excited sometimes 😅. And by all means only give a shot to Severance if you think the genre would be to your liking (it's a mix of mystery/sci-fi/psychological thriller with clever writing and interesting character arcs). I guess it is diificult to pick a new show without reading too much about the plot.. this one especially you should really go blind into it.

[@ClaudieTV]

@@FlorV_007 Nah nah keep em coming! I love it! I'll for sure give it a good look. The name sounds familiar anyway!

[@sullivanlaramie2901]

Also possible Jinx heard Vi call Cait 'Cupcake' when they parted ways in topside. There was that top-down view in the same manner as the bridge that could have been Jinx watching them again from the same angle, and then she followed Cait home.

[@ClaudieTV]

Oh yeah that's a good point! Good catch!

[@gustavgustav2670]

You cant blame Caitlyn for picking up the gun, the fact she doesn't shoot Jinx when she has the chance (after being kidnapped by her) just because Vi asks her not too says a lot.

[@ClaudieTV]

Yep absolutely!

[@gustavgustav2670]

@@ClaudieTV Although given what happens afterwards with Jinx firing the rocket, you have to wonder how she feels about that.

[@jmjackson2041]

Just so good. Everything always makes sense given what we know of the characters and their motivations and yet Arcane is still constantly surprising. Great reaction, I like the way you double check what you are seeing and give your thoughts and your spotting of Vander chained up at the end? Chefs kiss. Not a surprise for players of the game who knew back in episode 1 as post experiment Vander is a playable character in League but really well spotted, never seen a non player catch on before and I've watched a fair few reactions.

[@ClaudieTV]

Ah so it is him! Can't wait to crack on with Season 2 now! That is interesting! Glad I kept my eye out for him!

[@Savage-zo5ww]

51:35 "It's so chaotic and yet harmonious at the same time." 👀 Yeah watch season 2 I will say no more

[@ClaudieTV]

👀

[@edumm200]

yeah i actually think you should react to Bridging the rift before season 2 (the making of), it's very high quality and entertaining and you learn a lot about the background of the people that created the show and the character's stories and motives, the music, the voice actors, etc. about the game: Arcane is canon lore of League of legends, so it is literally based on the game at this point in time. the character's roles and personalities (Vi is a tough fighter, Jinx is a chaotic shooter, etc.), the weapons all belong to pre established game lore, like Jinx's shark bazooka or Vi's gloves, etc. however, it's been added in a very subtle way without distracting the audience from the story. about the game's lore and cinematics. they are very good and fun to watch, but they won't add too much to the Arcane experience imo, besides from interesting character background and concept art/music done by Riot. i think these would be good "music reactions", from the Worlds championships concerts that they organize, to fake Kpop groups, and more. I enjoyed your reactions, keep it up 😸❤

[@ClaudieTV]

First reaction to BTR is out today! Loved it so much! Thank you so much! I'll check them out!

[@juliantheapostate2263]

I think one of the truly tragic aspects of Silco is that he clearly admired Vander and loved him very much. But according to his definition of power he had to destroy him and empower people like the Chem-Barons he hates, because those are the people he can control far more easily. He lives very much in self-inflicted loneliness,

[@ClaudieTV]

Very interesting take!

[@Funkachute]

I love Silco talking to Vander’s statue. He was so frustrated with Vander in episode 3 for seemingly no longer being willing to fight for the undercity. But Vander’s priorities shifted as soon as he became a father. So when Silco gets everything he wants offered to him in exchange for Jinx he feels like he finally understands where Vander was coming from. Silco’s priority has likewise shifted to his daughter. I know some doubt whether he was truly unwilling to hand Jinx over (including Jinx herself), but I think this makes it clear he wouldn’t have.

[@ClaudieTV]

Yes that scene really sticks in my mind for some reason. It's the first time we see Silco actually sort of 'come undone' when there's no one around. It mimics, Jix talking to the empty chair

[@Serge-k4w]

I must thank you a thousand times! Thanks to your reactions and your analyses, I have just understood something that had escaped me for 3 years (during which I saw this season 1 a good twenty times): yes, there are bigger fish than Silco in Zaun, there is Jinx. Jinx is a character of such complexity that she fascinates and frightens us at the same time. I believe, I am absolutely certain, that the writers of Arcane (Amanda Overton in particular) and the immense artists of Fortiche have created a myth. Jinx will enter the pantheon of modern mythological characters at the same rank, or even higher, than Frankenstein, Cyrano, Dracula, Don Quijote, Ulysses (James Joyce), etc.

[@ClaudieTV]

Very interesting take! Love that!

[@Serge-k4w]

@@ClaudieTV Please don't encourage me too much, 🙂I could spend the next two hours writing a commentary on the role of ravens in Arcane and their importance to Powder.

Alright, now you have to wait three years before you start season 2. Also, if you like Ella Purnell in this as Jinx, you should check out Fallout. She plays the main character, Lucy, in that.

[@michaelpetersen467]

All jinx wanted was to be loved regardless of whether she was Powder or Jinx. Vi wanted her sister Powder. Silco wanted his daughter Jinx. In the end, she chose to be a daughter over a sister, but saved her sister rather than her father.

[@ClaudieTV]

Good take!

[@edgarretana8377]

For now I would avoid looking into any lore stuff about Runeterra(the name of the world where this all takes place) until you finish season 2. So some of these characters in the show are playable characters In the game and you might get spoilers about developments that are still to come. Another thing to note, Riot has declared Arcane and any future projects they release as Cannon for the lore of Runeterra.

[@ClaudieTV]

AH ok gotcha! Interesting!
