Hey just wanted to day I enjoy your reactions and idk if u will see this but I think u guys would enjoy rising of the shield hero

[@DjuraValtr]

I think you guys forget that Jinx is a genius in herself as an inventor. Viktor back in season 1 praised her intellect after defusing her bomb and inspecting it.

[@movisualbat]

The arm is reflective of Sevika, she's a gambler, as seen and previous scenes. It was made to be personalized for Sevika and her style.

[@VinniePaul91]

But more straightforwardly, those were the tools available at the arcade.

[@aPhatPhoenix]

Yeah and it’s a jinx weapon so lol

[@thegamingwubba]

I sorta disagree. She likes to get the job done and doesn’t like unreliable tools, as demonstrated by the ship scene at the beginning of 1x4. I think it’s simply Jinx’s sense of humor. I don’t think it’s reflective of Sevika at all. I think jinx building her the arm is an almost peace offering, but sevika accepting the arm is a symbol of appreciation.

[@tempzira]

It's also portrays how it feels to work with jinx. Unpredictable. Chaotic. But atthis point of the show she's able to work with it which is a character development because she hates her before.

[@crueljinxthesis]

@@thegamingwubba its a mix of both imo. if it was up to sevika i dont think she'd have put a gambling function into her arm, even though shes fond of gambling. its there because jinx knows its something sevika enjoys, and its her way of trying to "connect" with her

Clarification: Arcane is not a Netflix original. It may be exclusive to Netflix (for now), but the series is wholly owned and made by Riot Games.

[@Drewe223]

This is why it’s actually good.

[@magniwalterbutnotwaltermag1479]

Netflix helped it by giving it an audience. Iirc they maybe had a hand in its production too. Lest we forget Cyberpunk Edgerunners recieved the same treatment.

[@iSmartMan1]

@magniwalterbutnotwaltermag1479 Netflix had no role in the production. Riot Games literally owns the animation studio, and all the writers either came from or were hired by Riot. Riot could have made a deal with anyone to host the show, and if Netflix suddenly decided to stop carrying it or do anything else in their power to try to "cancel" it, there's nothing stopping Riot from taking the entire series to a different platform.

24:39 Sevika has always hated Piltover. She betrayed Vander because he let the enforcers walk all over the undercity and he did nothing. She might hate Jinx, but she hates Piltover a helluva lot more

[@cancerconnoisseur]

It shouldn't be forgotten that Viktor is a Zaunite. He spent a lot of time in piltover, but he was still from Zaun. Also, even if Jinx told Sevika she killed him, it wouldn't make a difference. She always figured Jinx would be the death of him and she was right. She knows he wouldn't want anything to happen to Jinx regardless and would stick by her side anyway.

[@anitaremenarova6662]

[@xShineyxDiverx]

Sevika might not care that Jinx killed Silco. Remember in the first season the only reason she didn't betray Silco was because of who offered it and how much of a worm he was. She might just back Jinx for the betterment of Zaun.

[@SinSinny]

Yea Sevika is probably the most misunderstood character in the show. So many ppl misread her and assume she has no loyalty or that she’ll be mad at jinx. Sevika’s loyalties lies with Zaun and the people. If jinx is doing right by them she’ll for sure back her with anything.

[@zenzenitha]

[@chisakiloverhaul5094]

I know you won't see this before episode 3 since the 3 are probable already recorded but some explanation : - the light green thing you can see almost everywhere in Zaun is called Chemtec, see this as like a fuel for about everything in Zaun, Shimmer is the purple drug substance boosting poeples - the head temple was not Jinx face, just an etablishement of one of the chembarons ( that's why there was so many goons and prolly also why Cait and the team raided the place ) - The smoke Cait and the team are "using" is called the grey ( smeech told it )

The shimmer is used medicinally in small doses. We saw this both in Silcos eye and when Vi got injured in the first season and had to go to the sketchy doctor

[@meekumanu]

I think it's interesting that we don't see any of the scratchy drawings in Jinx's mind anymore. Like, a major plot point of the first season was Jinx being so unpredictable and traumatised, like almost schizophrenic. I think it's showing that she's gained a lot of clarity since she accepted that she's Jinx now. She was suffering with the conflict of choosing between Silco and Vi, but now she knows who she wants to be. It only took her becoming a terrorist to find out, apparently.

[@Laura-vn5zi]

It's very interesting that she no longer hears the voices that tormented her for so many years. Since Silco died and was separated from Vi since she believes she will never love her because she is now Jinx. There is no one to tell her what to do, that's why at first she says that everything is already quiet

[@Hamza2_7272]

the two main voices that haunted jinx was mylo and clagger, and she shoots both of them in the dinner scene, asking them to shut up, and from that point onwards, their voices go silent. i like to think of it as a metaphor for her getting over those and realizing that she has to accept who she is and not be haunted by her past anymore (which she embraces in s2)

[@princeo242]

"The brambleback has left the jungle" It's a joke about the Brambleback jungle creep in League of Legends

I like the story of characters in how they came around to see vander's view when they once hated him, silco realized the importance of family, marcus although not the best at it realized the old chief's point of view in trying to keep peace, while Sevika once wanted to get rid of any problems in order to fight topside now has the old phrase of "we don't hand over our own people" and each one of them is experiencing the same problem vander had with them

[@jonwoodall881]

Viktor’s crutch becoming a shepherds crook 🫢

[@getawayfromme44]

The way Viktor is able to heal them is because of their shimmer addiction. We know that hexcore reactions don’t tend to bode well with living beings, except when shimmer is used as a medium (Skye died because Viktor didn’t use shimmer the second time) since they have shimmer in their gains, their system, and are overall damaged by it, by modifying them, he both improves them and purifies them at the same time.

[@lordsnia2152]

Netflix is the publisher of Arcane. the creator is Riot Games and Fortiche studio. Isha is a girl and wearing one of characters' costume(easter egg)

[@North862]

The end of the last episode that had "heavy is the crown" makes me love this episode so much more as you see Caitlyn in a new, much angrier light.

[@greenknightofwar7024]

And the info is a direct reference to MacBeth with Cait being our staring role. Whether she can escape the same fate as MacBeth remains to be seen.

[@maikosaikomusic]

I don’t know how to explain it but her entrance and whole line read was so bad azz. character progression in this show is astounding to me. I’m really intrigued in Viktors journey.

[@lalo77413]

Also one of the reasons why Viktor totally decided to leave Jayce is he saw Caitlyn's weapon blueprint on the table at Jayce's lab when he took his notebook/diary "We are scientists, not soldiers" -Viktor

1.No one's truly a villain in Arcane. Zaun is not evil and Piltover is not the epitome of good. Arcane is more complex story than blatant good vs. bad. 2. Isha is a little girl(the little child following Jinx). I guess they are keeping the Zaunite tradition of adopting an orphan alive. 3.

To anyone curious and don't mind spoilers. 2 years ago a youtuber named Nickyboi who did a funny but accurate one sentence description of each LoL characrer. It's funny to hear his lore description for the arcane characters. Based on the series so far his description is so funnily accurate. It does contain spoilers tho just a warning.

[@xxxcy-jv7sq]

@9:06 i think because they were talking about the weapons, viktor saw the blueprints and jayce tried to reason to him that it's not easy to cling to their principles, but you know viktor really never wanted the weapons

[@jamaalgaylord5029]

I think Victor is just following what the hexcore wants from him now. He's more machine than man. When he first woke up how he talked to jayce sort of seems like he's losing emotions. Then there's sky touching the book that he then went straight to and grabbed and took. Lastly when he was walking there was like glows right where he was about to step as if he's following a path. Then lastly when he healed the guy sky once again showed up as like a reward. I think the memory of sky is being used to guide him towards a purpose and I don't think it's a good one.

That sounds awfully unbalanced. Jinx is nothing but what they have been creating down there and if you say taking jinx is a problem solver then they should also completely arrest their own counsil and leaders who have history of oppression litteraly pass down for generations....
