      Vi is that rare beast among "strong female characters" these days... strong yet flawed, aggressive but moral, independent but nurturing, troubled but still very likable and relatable. Just using the terms "strong female" and "likable" in the description of the same character has become a rarity. And _Arcane_ has a bucket-load of them.

      @@ariochivTrue. All the characters are so well written, they all have depth and dimensions. That's what makes this show exceptional. You could expect Riot to get the animation, the visuals and the music right. But they also tell an amazing story with great characters and great dialogues, easily one of the best written shows of the last years.

      As old league player & passively expert lore (xD) I can give you not obvious spoilers about Warwick👀ツ
      ==>
      Warwick is creation of Singed how you might know. Lore changed but S2 gonna rehashe the old Signed/WW Bio. WW it's fusion of SilcoMINDVanderBODY. . I know more but I will stop at this that we gonna get more scenes in S2 of Warwick flashbacks. Also we should get conclusion of Viktor. He gonna lose/get corrupcted but not entirely since in lore he is not MAD. He is not forcing change, becouse YOU need to decide or something

    You are one of a VERY few reactors that GOT the parallel between Silco/Vander and Powder/Vi when Powder throws herself at Silco.
    EVERYONE jumps right to oh his a manipulative bastard that's just going to use her.
    You'd be right, at first.
    "Hello little girl, where is your sister?" is absolutely manipulative he's like a predator letting smaller prey live to draw out bigger prey.
    But as soon as she says "She's NOT my sister anymore!" his expression changes immediately. This is no longer prey, this is himself in his arms lamenting a perceived betrayal bigger than anything could be imagined.

    • @Crazy_Diamond_75
      @Crazy_Diamond_75 Před 13 dny

      Because constantly talking about how "everyone betrays us" isn't manipulative? I see so many people commenting this, that since he's not trying to mastermind something he's not manipulative. But like, manipulation doesn't have to be so moustache-twirling. Most abusers aren't trying to manipulate for some long-term game-plan, they manipulate because that's what they've been conditioned to do, subconsciously. It's just how they interact with the world, now.

    • @TofuBug24
      @TofuBug24 Před 13 dny

      @@Crazy_Diamond_75 Never said he wasn't being manipulative still. My point is its establishing a fundamental difference between EVERYONE else he manipulates and Powder. He views the entirety of the underground as a nation that deserves freedom at any cost and because he's ONLY ever looking at them on a group level his manipulation is cold calculated and impersonal they are means to an end even if they individually are missing out on the very thing he believes he is fighting for. When he asks her where her sister is in THAT moment Powder is NO different than any of the people addicted to shimmer or turned into monsters a literal means to an end.
      One of the things the show does exceptionally well despite not a lot of people noticing is very realistic eye motions from Silco's eye's darting to the upper right when told he had to give up jinx, to how his eyes and expression change when Powder says "She's not my sister any more." I would argue THIS was HIS "moment on the bridge" Vander had at the beginning both coming face to face with an INDIVIDUAL, personal cost and both men abandoned their current actions to comfort an individual. The main difference between Vander and Silco is Silco holds on to his belief that the noble thing for the group AND Jinx is to push through to freedom

  • @benjiman86
    @benjiman86 Před 2 měsíci +6

    I never played the game and this has become one of my all time favorite shows. I only knew about Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, and a couple other details. I feel it made things better because I have no idea who lives except those 3. Silco is such a perfect villain. His character is so well written. (I mean, they all are, but he stands out to me) I can't wait for season 2 later this year.

      For non currently LoL player who doesn't really know about modern lore it's hard to tell where this story takes place and which champions could be in it, that's probably why is she looking. But I agree, people shouldn't be looking that much for characters.

      She's probably already finished the whole thing by the time we see this.

    7:20 don't mean to be rude or anything but don't expect to see all the champs from the game in the show (actually I'd say it's like 15 champs at best from all the actual rooster) so just sit and relax about what you see, no need to overthink. Akali is not even related to Zaun in absolutely any way possible.

    Its a masterpiece which is amazing with 99% of film and tv over the last decade being garbage or mediocre at best. Still can't believe how good it is.

      I don’t know what you are talking about. If you only watch 3 movies a year, then sure, but we literally had one of the best years for cinema in 2023; it had so many incredible films and one of the best years for TV shows too. So yeah, if you are casual and only watch a few films, then sure, I get why you would think that.
