Arcane 2x08 * FULL LENGTH REACTION
Added 2024-12-23 16:00:05 +0000 UTCFINALLY, more Mel!
It does feel a bit weird and random that she has powers of some kind. I'll have to watch through the first season to pick up on any hints that may have been given. I love how she's still getting used to her powers, so she get's exhausted pretty quickly.
I still hope that Viktor snaps out of it and realized what he's doing. There's still time!
It's so heartbreaking to see Jinx giving up, again. This whole season she's been ready to just die, and now with Isha gone, she's really done. She is broken, and just so low 😭😭
Also.. this is the beginning of Piltover and Zaun joining forces!!! Becoming one!!! 🤩🥰
I'm honestly so glad to see Vi and Caitlyn together and happy!!! I didn't know if they would have this moment or not, but I'm glad that they did 🥰
Also... Vander is gone 😭
For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie. You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again

Don;t be sorry at all!! I enjoyed reading it all :D People complaining that Vi never brought it up makes no sense. I think those people want everything spelled out for them, though. Caitlyn admitting her mistakes was so nice to hear. We see her growth and how much she understands of everything. It's so satisfying to see people own up to what they've done. Her and Jinx's chat was so needed. Jinx is so incredibly destroyed and has 0 hope or will to do anything at all. She has been broken for so long and it just gets worse 😭 It's such a great series, and the fact that there's so much foreshadowing means that upon rewatches, we get to notice and appreciate so much more!!!

2024-12-28 15:41:24 +0000 UTCSeeing Jinx so empty and hopeless hurt so much. As expected, the loss of Isha and Vander broke her. But not so much that she couldn't get help for Vi, before she retreats deep inside herself and detached herself from the world. Her hair a dishevelled mess (mirroring the shattering of her personality), cowering in a corner, waiting to die. Such a tragic and poetic and devastating and darkly beautiful picture. The way she leaves and makes sure that Vi can't follow her, how she's giving her blessing to Vi to finally let go of her and become happy with Caitlyn...😱💔😭🙈 The amulet Mel gets is the same one the decapitated girl from episode 1x8 wore (whose look the black mage uses here), the same amulet she painted in blood in a picture that hung over her bed (thus – dangled over her head). Did I mention how good the foreshadowing in this show is? 🤯 Caitlyns new look is a perfect mixture of naïve Caitlyn and dark Caitlyn, a look that states that she found her new self and is ready to embrace it. Her “I KNOW!” was so heartfelt and full of self-hate...😭🙈 I appreciate that Cait owns up to her mistakes too, when she said “...OUR mistakes.” and later on "...OUR crimes." I love her little sigh at the end of her talk with Vi. She knows Vi is right, but doesn't like what has to come next. Just like in episode 1x4 when she knew she had to break Vi out, if she wants to achieve anything in the undercity. It was so important for Caitlyn to hear some acknowledgement from Jinx that she caused so much pain by killing Caitlyns mother. I think that was the final straw that made her let go of her vengeance (you can see how the camera zoomed in on Caits ear when Jinx talked about her mother). Cait sees that holding on to her revenge couldn't give her the peace she so desperately needed. Also, if she finds it in herself to forgive Jinx, maybe Vi could forgive her? (Talking about second chances...😳) Another nice full-circle-callback to episode 1x4. Again Vi ended up in a prison cell and again this beautiful young enforcer stands on the other side and breaks her out...😍 For Vi things turned in the moment when she thought she had fucked up again, Caitlyn not only was not mad at her but helped her to set Jinx free. Then it got to her that Cait actually made peace with Jinx and that this was Caitlyns way of showing her that she loves her, even if that involves the risk of Vi running away with Jinx. But she left the choice to her instead of pushing her in any direction. "Sorry to say, but you've grown a bit predictable", was such a great line...💖 Plus those beautiful big blue eyes of Caitlyn smiling at her again - so all her emotions and the looooong pent-up sexual tension between the two finally exploded right then and there...😍💞💥🙌🏻 I loved the little moment when Cait blew her strand of hair out of her face - yeah, she knows exactly how sexy she is...😊 And of course the cute giggeling and the little fumbling with Caits belt. Or how the muscles on Vis back move under the spectacular tattoo, while they pull off her shirt. It is the sheer amount of tiny little details like this that make this show feel so real and so extraordinary. 🤯 From the way Caitlyn and Maddie interacted the last episodes you can see that their fling is actually over for a while now. The first time this occured to me was when they stood at her mothers memorial (ep. 2x4) and the looks they exchanged there. And the way Cait interacted with Maddie here showed that she saw her attempts at intimacy as a nuisance. Nonetheless, Maddie is still her closest confidant as far as it concerns the military of Piltover. I love the challenge this show provides in terms of storytelling. You have to be able to read between the lines, read the pictures and in the looks of characters...😍💖 One of my favorite examples is the Vi and Jinx scene in prison. I've heard some complaints why Vi never adresses Ishas fate. The answer is: It is simply not necessary. Both know what it feels like being a big sister losing a little sister and both know that the other one knows it. All that needs to be said, Vi said with her hug. Sometimes you say more with NOT telling something. For me the storytelling is perfectly efficient...🤩 I'm sorry this got a bit long, thank you for reading it. 😊
