2024-11-14 08:30:54 +0000 UTCThis show has always been heavily political, but now we're getting fucking BIBLICAL right here.

2024-11-13 18:40:13 +0000 UTCWhen Salo is talking to Mel's Mom and says the Kiramman name "bewitches people," there's just the slightest change in her expression...and you can see an "okay, he's useless...plan B."

2024-11-12 17:08:58 +0000 UTCVictor leaves Jayce because Jayce has made weapons out of the hextech and Victor wants no part in that. Skye's ghost points the bluebrints out and indicates he should take her journal.

2024-11-12 10:14:13 +0000 UTCI agree that Ekko definitely represents a third way, actively trying to offer decent lives conditions to the undercity, without depending on a precarious deal with an enforcer like Vander, nor increasing brutality like Silco. Yet, Ekko's solution is an utopia in the first sense of the word : he created a little haven of peace, almost outside of this world. I fear that his resolve will indeed get tested because, like Vander's way, Ekko's can only be short-termed. In that episode, the number capacity of the firelights' refuge was brought up, and indeed, not all of the Undercity can just move there : in the end, Piltover would find it, and the conflict would just start all over again, just on a different part of Zaun (and that's not even bringing up the hexcore corruption part). On the other hand, if they block Zaunites from coming in order to keep the refuge hidden and safe, it will just be reserved to a select few, and most will be brutalized or get killed by enforcers. No matter how I look at it, I feel that Ekko's solution cannot work long term, especially not with how brutal topside gets, and will find himself in the same dead end where he'll have to make a choice, not unlike Vander and Silco back then

2024-11-12 09:10:38 +0000 UTCI think the Arcane has its own agenda, and always has. I'm not sure it's one good for anyone else, however.

2024-11-12 02:19:17 +0000 UTCArcane is so bad at giving new character names. Fish man is Steb, Vander At Home is Loris, and the kid is Isha.

2024-11-12 00:29:38 +0000 UTCI really like this. I feel like Ekko stands outside all of this as a Zaunite trying to make the "right decision" in spite of everything, as he opposes both Piltover and Silco's org. But that resolve may really get tested as we move forward this season.

2024-11-11 23:18:49 +0000 UTCYou can both understand Vander and Silco's perspectives and actions, as two characters navigating through a social tragedy. Yes, living conditions under Vander were more livable in the undercity than they were under Silco, but it came at the cost of keeping a low profile, not hoping for a true improvement of Zaun's living conditions and future, just hoping to make it through the day, because he would, understandably, not risk the lives of his people. Silco was a revolutionary, his ambitions were bigger than Vander's : he wanted respect and hope for an independant future. The shimmer was a drug that, on short term, allowed Zaun to stand on more equal grounds with Piltover's hextech, for which he indeed sacrificed too many lives of his own city. The point is, both characters picked up more than questionnable decisions in a situation that would not give a perfect solution, and the responsability of that situation is indeed on Piltover. Now regarding the council specifically, the tragedy is the timing : Jinx fired it when they voted for the undercity independance. Which is, I think, the tragedy of Piltover in the end : s1 members of the council inherited this messy situation without creating it (apart from Hermeidinger), but kept a blind eye on a long term solution either because it was easier to pretend it didn't exist, or because they handled each crisis as a threat against order that had to be dealt with by force (also carrying some heavy prejudice against Zaunites), and doing so was perpetrating it, even when it was not their intention. Zaun's tragedy is the one of opressed people who don't have the luxury of making the "right decision", Piltover council's tragedy is their indifference and desire to mantain statu quo tumbling down too late

2024-11-11 23:10:24 +0000 UTCBut the chem barons did not get that powerful until after Silco decided to murder Vander and forcefully take over the Lanes. Previously they were just smaller gangs. Silco and Jinx actively made the material conditions worse in conjunction with Piltover.
Trey Turner
2024-11-11 23:05:36 +0000 UTCI wonder if Sevika knows Jynx killed Silco. And if she doesn't, I wonder what she'll do if she finds out.

2024-11-11 22:25:30 +0000 UTCI love that you picked up on what Jinx really wanting possibly just being death period. We get such a huge glimpse of that in her fight with Ekko and how she tried to kill them both. Little Isha (the kids name!) is so cute too, she looks so much like Powder. I love the little found family dynamic between those two and Sevika so much.

2024-11-11 21:28:47 +0000 UTCThe thing is is that none of the chem barons or any of that would exist were it not for the material conditions that were created by the council/people in power in Piltover. At the end of the day, no matter how messed up Silco was, the culpability is on Piltover.
Peluche
2024-11-11 21:26:51 +0000 UTCthe suffering in the undercity is as much silco's, Jinx' and Sevica's fault as the council imo. It never was great but these guys made it so much worse.

2024-11-11 20:42:50 +0000 UTCBravo Mosco for going through this episode while being not too well. Especially it this being a heavy Jinx episode, which puts you through it even being well. Best of luck for the next episode and best wishes. 😅👏❤️

2024-11-11 19:09:55 +0000 UTCI was watching the episodes and i turned to my mom and told her that i understand why this show took so many years to produce 9 episodes. The animation, the acting, the choreography, the designs, the sound and soundtrack *oof* and i love that you appreciate all of this as much as i do lol
Annieme
2024-11-11 19:06:48 +0000 UTCI kinda disagree with you on the Jinx being right to fire on the council. They were absolutely amoral in the lack of support they gave the undercity, but the chem barons and Silco flooding The Lanes with drugs made the violence and conditions there significantly worse than it was under Vander. Jinx was actively taking part in that drug empire that was propping up the few at the expense of all of Zaun.

2024-11-11 18:51:31 +0000 UTCThe arm that Jinx made for Sevika is exactly like Jinx herself, colorful, unpredictable, fun in a terrifying way, and extremely destructive. I can't get over how the slot machine design fits Jinx perfectly.
