2025-04-29 08:20:05 +0000 UTCnot sure. If I believe that. I'll rewatch.However, if sb wants to believe that - okay, that's nice. & who can say that no, with enough visual evidence? I've always been a Death of the Author reader, even before I knew the Death of the Author. I say reader, cuz I used to be a bookwarm, but I'm also a viewer and player - poor player, but... XD tldr: suuuuuuuuuuure? a bit of - wishful thinking? Says me- a born optimist. Hmm. I'll take it, pls? with 21 grams of salt (the weight of human soul ;) ) ? sure, why not... (/is not sure. As a born optimist, I say 'yes', as a Pole, I say 'eh, yes, if I saw Vander fight notvanderness, there, so, I'll say big fat NO ,but to anybody else: you do you, your interpretation is just as valid as mine)

2025-04-29 08:15:09 +0000 UTCThat's a nice theory, and I understand how it could be seen that way—the problem I see with it is that if we admit that Warwick was still Vander at the very end with Jinx (even if only for a moment), then the scene that precedes this no longer makes sense. Vi had the opportunity to jump over to Jinx and finally get her sister back—and instead she got stuck, believing that Vander was still inside. And the story punished her terribly for it. If they were trying to imply at the end that it was still Vander (or that he intentionally protected Jinx at the end), then letting Vi fail so tragically and completely because of that same idea kind of breaks the whole ending. That would kind of mean that both sisters paid the ultimate price not because Vi couldn't accept her loss and move on at the end... but even though she was kind of right. Plus, I'm pretty sure that flashback is played before Jinx pulls out her monkey bomb, not as a reaction (I do agree with the tears, though—that's an aesthetic they've been using repeatedly with Vander since he "changed" because of the shimmer in season one—but we could easily argue that they let Vander "cry" literally in every scene where he "dies," which is soo heartbreaking). But honestly, Arcane is full of ambiguities in many different forms (and season two isn't exactly coherent... to put it mildly), so even I wouldn't completely dismiss this theory (and I totally understand why you want to hear something good about your boy - I do too).
