#Arcane #LeagueOfLegends #LoL
We”ve arrived at the finale of season one of Arcane: League of Legends! This series surprised me quite a bit. I ended up liking it far more than I anticipated – and for more than simply the animation. I’m definitely much more excited for Project L after watching Arcane – and way more interested in the lore as well. The finale managed to make me emotional over the death of a character who was, ultimately despicable, surprised me in a number of ways, and left me anticipating future seasons!

anyone else really broken as a person so you cheer for jinx and silco or Joker and harley? sigh…
Can't wait for season 2, probably in 2-4 years. Toast to the best show I've seen in probably ever.
On my first watching, I thought of this as a beautifully tragic ending. While it's certainly a tragedy for the people who will suffer in this war, it's about as happy an ending/beginning as possible for Jinx. She was finally able to come to terms with the ghosts of her past. Nothing forgiven. Nothing forgotten. Just acknowledgement and a new beginning with Silco's somewhat toxic, but ultimately genuine love and acceptance. No one passes through the same river twice. There's no going back and that's pretty beautiful compared to the chaos and trauma with which she had struggled.
Sweet
I love that there's not an easy answer. Silco does monstrous things but Jinx has become a monster herself. Vi is saying what she thinks are the right things to get Powder back but Powder doesn't exist anymore. Deep down Jinx knows it but still loves her sis and wants to make her happy, so she is pretending that Powder is still there but in reality the small bits of Powder left in her psyche are just painful memories that torment her.
Vi wants her old relationship with Powder back but time and past actions have eliminated that possibility entirely. I think only at the end did she realize it.
I liked JINX and when I saw this series I liked VI much more.
curious fact: it has a lot of videos, whether musical or cinematic, on the youtube channel, they are very good,
And the game on mobile looks better than on pc.
I'm not so sure that Vi is being dishonest as much as she just doesn't understand who her sister is at this point. We see a lot from Jinx's point of view, but really Vi has met Jinx in ep 6 for a few minutes, then on the bridge where she tries to kill Caitlyn, and the dinner scene. That's it. I think Vi is honest and sincere with her intent, but she's just lacking the full context of who Powder is now. And because of that, she's not able to give Jinx the (somewhat unhealthy) unconditional love that Silco always gives her.
I think Vi is just overwhelmed, doesn't know what to say. In a lot of ways, she'd already lost her sister before she ever broke out of prison, and there was very little she could do about it. I think season 2 is going to start with Vi being absolutely devastated emotionally. The only thing that isn't really in question is that despite everything, Vi and Jinx still care for each other deeply, they're just on diverging paths at this point.
That Sting song at the end was a huge flex. Just made for the perfect emotional ending.
I know it seems tragic that the Council had voted to recognize the sovereignty of Zaun just as the rocket hit their chambers, but it really isn't. Because even if Silco had survived at the end, and Jinx had not fired Fishbones at the Council, peace would still not have happened because Silco was not going to give Jinx to them, which was a non-negotiable condition for the peace agreement.
And let's get one thing straight. Silco may have been, in his twisted way, a "loving" father to Jinx, he was nevertheless a horrible father. Fathers are supposed to shape their children into good people with a strong sense of right and wrong. All he did was cultivate and enable a psychotic mass murderer.
When you end up crying over the villains death that's how you know you have written an amazing character
We can't be surprised by the season finale, because the show comes from the game, and the game is a chaotic, undefined and limitless collection of battles.
Something need to happen to put things on this course. And it happened.
Lol I don't think you care for Silco but rather knowing that Jinx kills the only one who loves Jinx for who she is. It's more you mourn Jinx's relationship with Silco.
the ending isn't really that big of a cliffhanger in general, but especially for a first season of a show. i think people just get baited into thinking it's a big cliffhanger by the way they cut the scene. it's such a good way to set up a second season without taking away from the main story of season 1 (Vi and Jinx's story), which had a very distinct end-of-chapter feeling with Jinx's "here's to the new us"
The peace relied on Silco turning over Jinx though, and he wasn't going to do that. I think it just moreso exposes the lack of awareness that the rich Piltover people have about the hardships that drive Zaun citizens to make the decisions they make. Jayce thinks he would wipe Zaun out because he thinks they're incompetent, yet Jinx stole his technology and made her own weapon and fired first. He completely underestimated her and still doesn't understand the lasting effects of opression.
Regarding the cliffhanger ending: I think it's a cliffhanger for many of the characters, but the story has been about Jinx from beginning to end. In that context, I think the end is a very poetic and perfect conclusion to her character transformation. The other's story shouldn't conclude with Jinx just because the season ends, I think it was a great idea to cut the show mere minutes after the transformation we've been watching for 6 episodes finally concludes.
Tension. This show builds that tension and we are all hooked.
Ep 1-8: hated Silco
Ep 9: loved Silco
I also was kinda upset about Silcos death.
Thats why he is such a good written villain
"We show them"
"We will show them all"
The tragedy in the end is, that Vi pushed Jinx as hard as Silco did, but Silco was willing to kill Vi for Jinx, but Jinxs love for her sister turned her finally into Jinx. It really is a very complex emotional scene, that was handled better than most hollywood productions these days can do.
Sevika could be cool in the fighting game, even though she's not a LoL champion
