Blind Reaction: Arcane Season 1 Episode 6 "When These Walls Come Tumbling Down"

hello everybody flamin shark back with another video and today we're going to be jumping into season one episode six of our cane oh baby so the last time we had the end of act one episode three a few however long ago it was for you guys it was insane um so i can say if if episode six is almost as good as good or certainly if it's better than episode three act two has been way better than act one and act one was such a good intro but act two these last two episodes have been amazing episode five was so good [ __ ] me christ i can't take this holy [ __ ] this show is just amazing how do you guys how do you guys like honestly i don't know what i'm hearing it's a weird sound it's pretty faint but it's coming from somewhere else and my place but um anyways uh huh a little distracted oh my god a little distraction there i'm all right i'm so hyped for this episode that my words aren't working now but um episode six of arcane it's gonna be crazy i expect this to be possibly the best episode i mean episode three was amazing i think i still stand by episode three being the best episode so far but episode five and four but especially five was like so it's weird right because i think episode 5 might actually be the best overall episode but episode 3 was so climactic that it's hard to top now i'm expecting episode six given now climactic episode three was i'm expecting episode six to feel like another season finale because that seems to be how this story is being structured where um you know the cutoff point for the batch because they were these these nine episodes were released in three sets of three episode three was an insane like season finale feeling episode i imagine episode six is gonna be more of the same and there's a lot built up for that given where episode five left off with jinx and vise characters specifically but of course we're gonna get tons of crazy stuff with other characters uh i kind of think victor dies this episode so i i've had about a couple minutes about to think about it in between episode 5 and episode 6. and he's clearly close to dying maybe he makes it to like the end of the season but um i think it would make sense because it would it would constitute another kind of change in the era i guess now i hope he lives because he's really cool and i think he he adds an interesting dynamic to all of this but um [Music] i i really do wonder if he's gonna make it through this next episode and then [ __ ] vine jinx what can i even say i think it's uh they're obviously gonna have a confrontation they're probably gonna have a fight it's probably gonna be amazingly well animated there's probably going to be so much emotion behind it i my gut tells me jinx is not going to turn which really scares me now i i don't see vi dying james isn't dying because jinx is goddess there's no way jinx dies 100 um at least before the finale the vibe i think it is like 95 safe but i won't give her 100 like jinx or i guess 99.9 like jinx um but i i don't know i feel like the way they built her story she kind of still feels like the main protagonist in a sense even though jinx is like almost more important i don't know it's weird because they are both the protagonists they're sharing that role kind of there's just so much going on right because again it's an ensemble show there's like a universe we're following a bunch of different perspectives it's really quite something but i'm so worried for what's going to happen with jinx and vi i'm honestly terrified i am so excited i really want to see them fight because i feel like that's actually one thing and this is something that you don't hear from me very often because i'm someone who you know loves shows for their story for their narrative you know i'm huge animation lover so obviously i love good animation art style like stuff like that uh you know soundtracks always great but i you know characters and story are the two most important things in any series in my opinion the character writing how the characters come off what makes them compelling what makes them interesting this show has characters in spades and then the story writing of course the actual plot right and even though in animation it's a very interesting to watch um fighting is very tertiary for me like actual if for shows that have fight sequences the fight animation was something i really appreciate when it's really good is certainly one of the lower things for me and a show can have subpar animation if it has great characters and plot and i'll love it um but i feel like narratively and this is where this is where um arcane is really good at this because they have narratively built up the fight between jinx and vi so well through every episode of arcane you can go back to episode one they've been building this up from the beginning but they've built it up in a way where legitimately beyond just with the nature it's been built up beyond simply just narratively wanting to see what they do and like the emotions of jinx and vi and how they take this i legitimately want to see the actual fight itself and i know that sounds like a stupid thing because like of course it's going to be hype but there's a deeper reason why i want to see this fight and that goes back to the characters and the plot and that's where the show's done a great job of using the two most important elements of storytelling to enhance not only just this you know the show in general but to enhance the anticipation for a fight and how much i really want to see jinx and buy square off they've really built that up well and they deserve praise for that you guys know at this point i'm basically sucking off this show this show's like just it's it's i think it's already probably asked here it's it's like a plus maybe a plus plus um it's probably gonna be s tier after this episode and probably any doubts i have about this being like one of my favorite like anime animated shows ever is probably going to die with this episode if this episode is as good as i think it's going to be i have hoped this episode might be the best episode um and if it is the best episode of the series so far then this will easily be one of my favorite really one of my favorite shows i think ever like this show is that good i really can't say enough good things about arcane this show is insane and there's like honestly i don't know there's anything that i really dislike about the show it's so rare like because i'm someone who's very positive i like to enjoy shows i like to appreciate them but man i cause like a lot of times there's things i can nitpick that i just choose not to but i'm like really struggling this show i guess i'm not a big fan of the wide screen i'd prefer if it was in like the 1920 1080p dimensions you want to talk about nitpicking right like i prefer if it wasn't in like the movie shot but i get why because it's so so it might as well be nine individual mini movies with the [ __ ] quality of this this [ __ ] show like there's there's animated film there's like big budget animated films that don't look as good as arcane what the [ __ ] the animation is so [ __ ] expressive god let's turn this up let's watch episodes say oh wait wait wait i haven't even i haven't predicted the title when these walls come tumbling down well everything's going to crash down around probably jinx it could also be referring to jace maybe if something [ __ ] up happens in piltover they might all be related it could be silco it could be a lot of people i'm going to assume it's primarily referring to jinx but it also could refer to silko or piltover or all of the above if things completely break out into chaos who knows we might be in the middle of a [ __ ] war by the end of this episode even though i don't think we're that close but i wouldn't be surprised in 40 minutes we have a 42 minute episode of course with all the credits it's really a little under 40 but this episode is two minutes longer than the last two which have both been around 40 but let's jump in to episode number six it took me a second there i dirt there of arcane let's enter the league of legends with arcane episode 6 when these walls come tumbling down come tumbling down tumbling down tumbling down god i love ava three two one and play can you not tell how excited i am holy [ __ ] i'm [ __ ] everything up right now [Music] [Applause] this is a really cool graphic it'd be really cool if like in the last episode they do a thing where like that actually leads into music playing or something that's my only complaint about that graphic is like it doesn't actually trigger music or anything oh flashback oh that is that is that echo or is this the flashback um is it oh maybe oh is this the fl is that is that young is that selco um hello where's that victor oh that's victor isn't it that's young victor [Music] yeah because he's got like a cane so he's always at issues walking and look like and inventors so that also makes sense for uh for victory yeah interesting so we're starting with the victor sauce [Music] poor guy you've been dealing with that since he was a kid [Music] trying to keep up with this his invention was a little too good jesus that's sad interesting oh it's gonna hit the rock no it kept going that's gonna hit that rock who found it [Music] oh this is this is the doctor this is the the guy who works for silco you built this ah why aren't you playing with the others [Music] loneliness is often the byproduct of a gifted mind what is it this is real which is a rare mutation that i cultivated oh that sounds about right good one [Music] huh it is kind of cute freaky but cute she's dying i'm attempting to prevent that the mutation must survive can i help you want to assist me interesting interesting we can be loners together interesting [Music] so victor's got some lore relating to the doctor who works for silko either at this point or later in the story not entirely sure how that fits into the timeline good to see some things haven't changed seems just yesterday i stumbled upon an aspiring young scholar from the undercity here ruminating in his steel oasis i heard your prognosis i'm terribly sorry my boy i'd love to know how much time we have do you contemplate death professor only that of friends sure because he lives for like because he has been well secured yeah of his founders what haven't you to show for your remarkable life you should be proud of what you've accomplished victor [Music] figmen my contributions will be short-lived even in your memory damn i have seen many students it's a sad truth that those who shine brightest often burn fastest it's real you think about it geniuses die young that's i mean not always the case but it's very often the case hey interesting that that cold open was entirely about victor and that was an interesting uh flashback it set an interesting tone it said a very dark tone of inevitability which i don't know how i feel about that with where this episode might be going dude kate statue is the coolest one holy [ __ ] you're the great mal i know your name thank god that's so cool the two sisters and then vander and then freaking soccer that's so well done [Music] i swear i wrote their names yeah the fire lights i'm curious what's up with fire lines we don't really know anything about them miami [Applause] yeah yeah look out for yourself man it's good [ __ ] here we go holy [ __ ] i can't believe we're about to be two-thirds of the way through arcane making that look like eggs like painting i didn't know you were an artist there's quite a lot about me you don't know listen i'm sorry for disappearing last night ut cools victor's dying i think it has something to do with gases in the fisheries where he grew up exactly the sort of thing we wanted to fix with hextech yeah improving lives solving real issues not just trade disputes victor saved my life once now he needs me and there's nothing i can do i hate feeling so useless i didn't realize he was so close he's like my brother yeah kind of ah why did you come to me with this i just nothing feels impossible when i'm with you oh uh i'm in exile from my family oh man why i fell short of madada standards i don't believe that for a second do you damn you should be with him chase we can't change what fate has in store for us but but you can make what we do the best alone yeah that's that's another way to put it that's such a beautiful beautiful painting yeah god damn it jase it really is though good god oh there's there's victor again [Music] oh what a shot [Music] are you about to cop more blood on him [Music] or yeah i guess you cut your finger or something [Music] [Music] uh what the [ __ ] that was a transition and a half jesus oh is this gonna be another oh is that [Music] well theorem uh my name's theorem nice try chuck jackson okay now that's some harley quinn [ __ ] holy [ __ ] oh my god wants us to grab someone up somewhat anyone who you're grabbing some girls [Music] i mean i mean i'm not grabbing girls wow wow wow wow trying not to sound like a [ __ ] why wasn't i invited to the party man i don't know they got a fight with cevica they did a number on her oh really which number wow you're doing great oh my god okay she's gotten full jinx now it took it took what the [ __ ] okay okay she was just trolling she was just trolling but also messing with him to get whatever it is she wanted meanwhile bye over here [ __ ] up but kurt and kate are trying to get somewhere safe because goons aren't far behind we have to keep moving what the hell is that the sign never mind just help me to the edge what the [ __ ] yeah i was about to say you better go down there and follow her because your uh your future girlfriend damn near just killed herself uh oh [Music] interesting fire light there's only one person i could think of who the fire light could be it's got to be echoes we haven't seen echo lost who [Applause] holy [ __ ] jesus jesus christ oh my god she's become insane i didn't actually mean that in the in the sense you would think i i mean like as far as just being a goddess like actually okay she's pretty much locking herself up as big best character just about jesus oh my god i feel like you and i got off on the wrong arm wrong arm maybe we should try the other no need it's your sister she's back she's looking for you it's not what you think she's with some girl enforcer guess she replaced you you're lying why bother her back in town it's only a matter of time before you implode and silco finally gets the message that you're about as good for our cause as you were i think i know just how to deliver that message jesus oh oh i thought he was about to she was about to throw her out the window but what it jake's out just straight up like fully willing to kill her at the moment interesting so you didn't tell her but jinx found out anyways as expected man your kid yep the true love of your life the light the bright light in your life ah about time holy [ __ ] silko you were so busy little ren here saw me in random what the [ __ ] hello let's talk outside can't you see we're playing you remember our old friend vi don't you vander's daughter she was about your age her father went on a long trip and daddy here assured me that she left with him but it seems she never made it isn't that sad could you imagine being separated from your father jesus she's in a safe place she's in the lanes that's not possible there's an enforcer with her a girl roughly the same age caitlin she's a curator just like them she does whatever she wants i can't control her yeah pretty much so i guess she still is officially an enforcer probably yeah that's a fair point i'll track her down i can fix this please everyone makes mistakes right what's important is that we don't repeat them is he about to knock down the tower they cannot be allowed to resurface do we understand each other jesus oops oh so sorry accidents happen geez yeah i think the message is loud and clear good sir and that is sexy as [ __ ] because this is the the secrets victor what what the [ __ ] oh is victor gonna sir to organic matter [Music] holy crap incredible this is unlike anything we've ever seen jess it it could be the key to augmenting physiology extending life curing you it's happened to everyone i can't determine why you can't sustain it rejecting the transmutation yeah because it's not natural it's a pasteurization of nature type thing we'll solve this there may not be time they're in uncharted waters here and i can feel my body eroding but if chase is with you i'll have sky bring heimerdinger he might know something that could help in the meantime we'll do what we do best hell yeah great to see jason victor in the lab doing their [ __ ] meanwhile bye out here on the brink of death damn near maybe not that quite that far what the [ __ ] what is this place it's where the kind of people you topsiders don't want to think about wind up yeah this is if you see the underside this oh it's that guy it was never this big though it's gotten a lot worse ew a lot of bugs oh no she's hearing jinx or powder i should say now she's starting to hallucinate holy [ __ ] [Music] let it be i know you have your reservations about me this only works if we can trust each other it doesn't work it never has you topsiders always find a way to screw us i suppose topside is to blame for all your misfortunes damn nice we aren't monsters just like you you don't know anything about me you really don't to be fair i shouldn't have left you it's all right despite it all i can tell you have a good heart you've got a good this is heart vander yeah holy crap what is that i'm calling it the hex core hex score it's an adaptive rune matrix it's it's it's groundbreaking what's most exciting is that it reacts to biological matter stories of healing oh flashbacks it's reminding him too much of the are of the actual of these destroy it what please if ever you've put faith in my guidance hear me now i've seen nations destroyed by a single seed and it looked exactly like this professor this could save victor's life victor something's different you've changed what did you do what do you mean professor it's that thing it must be destroyed what yeah what's happened to victor i won't let you jace this is a violation of the ethos i will have it destroyed one way or another that's your opinion we'll see if the council agrees oh he might go beyond the council's back on this one oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] [Music] i might know someone else who could help you do what you have oh no silko i need to get ready oh not silko but the the the the guy that worked for silco who we really haven't seen and yeah yeah for what exactly i have no idea oh my dude vi looks so sick in that jacket holy [ __ ] oh is she gonna try and get like supplies or something is he all ordered old man my life probably more than that i guess she's bleeding she needs a doctor not so simple to come by around here i'm sorry oh oh but i do know someone else who might be able to help bro come with me okay man this shit's so [ __ ] up what shimmers done to them what the [ __ ] uh she's been stabbed she makes potions helps people here with with this shimmer why would you take something that does that to you i just wanted to feel what it was like to be somebody to make other people afraid yeah because he was always like he was always a little [Music] just one drop of shimmer huh thank you i really do let's go i think vi will be happy to see your friends oh you got it you you you go ahead she she knew me when i was still anyway i i don't want her to see me like this just just tell her tell her i'm sorry about everything okay oh man kate's such a badass holy [ __ ] i love kate i god dude cheerless [ __ ] arcane character is being nice it matches fragments we found outside your lab and at the hex gates i have reason to believe they're planning more attacks well how has this threat gone unnoticed for so long since the hex gates were completed the fissures haven't been a priority oh we'll settle that later for now we need to prevent any further attacks short of searching everyone who crosses the bridges i don't know how we can then that's what we'll do are you certain this sort of an order do it we have to protect the city oh man was that that they were trying what he was trying to get one other thing i saw caitlyn kieremann had a prisoner released on your order is there anything i can assist with no no uh we've got it covered how interesting we have lost our way this city was founded to be a bastion of enlightenment sure in a world that cannibalized itself over power and pride but we've forgotten loosened our morals in favor of comfort and convenience sure created honor for prestige fair enough now we are houses divided i believe if we set aside our greed and arrogance we can be won again it will take vigilance we must hold each other accountable and who holds you accountable what shimmer is rampant in the undercity attacks at the hex gates and in the academy square enforcers fear to set foot in the lanes all under your watch chase you forget yourself i'm sorry professor but healing this city will take more than just speeches time and again you've warned us what not to do but let me ask you this what's your plan to fix this i see what this is about your hextech projects need more time more safeguards humans don't live for centuries we can't wait for progress we have to make it yeah focused on the future not the past you are the true father of built over and your years of service can never be repaid i believe it's time we gave the beloved founder of our city a well-deserved retirement wow yes don't do this wow damn they're just like holy [ __ ] like it has to be unanimous all in favor now she trusts him with my deepest respect and appreciation professor holy [ __ ] yeah and of course when that domino falls they'll unless a lot of them you know mel is kind of the queen of the council yeah holy [ __ ] voted him out of the council holy [ __ ] that was amazing they saved her or they're going to save her tiny little little tap of shimmer easy easy easy whoa we need you back on your feet what was the name speaker gave you jinx right jakes how could i forget i'm going to have to be more careful now silko will be watching yep oh geez oh geez oh geez yeah that's a pretty dangerous building he used to live here yeah who's powder my sister i thought she died but i have to try and find her how do you not know if your sister is alive or dead it's hard to check up on people from inside a concrete cell what you don't have parents no they were killed by enforcers yeah of course oh man they have so much tension [Music] what the [ __ ] there's so much tension between kate and mine oh what the [ __ ] banter's prodigy i've regretted that we've never had the opportunity to speak wow what have you done with my sister i have freed her candidly i thought you were the price of your second-hand family but jinx yeah oh my god she's right above them oh my god holy [ __ ] jinx oh my god [Music] oh my god wait i'm gonna find her and erase whatever [ __ ] up delusions you put in her head but first i'm gonna bring your [ __ ] empire down all around you don't know your limits girl it's what god vanda killed what drove your sister away and it's why i'm here right now yeah well uh what is what is kate doing he does talk too much oh that was a plan okay oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] [Music] oh [ __ ] oh smart girls oh god there's no way wait if soko's actually dead there's no way right oh my god if silko's actually dead this this might not be repaired light it up and i'll find you [Music] oh my god oh my god oh my god okay so he survived it because of course he did now he's pissed holy [ __ ] milo oh my god that was beautiful oh the freaking oh god oh geez and he's just losing it he's just totally lost it now god oh wow she sees the flare now she [ __ ] sees the flare [Music] and they're closing it up they're they're securing the border everyone that gets inspected yep everyone who comes through gets inspected that's damn near a declaration of war it's pretty [ __ ] close holy [ __ ] oh that was incredible bro we still got we still got some time oh back to the flashbacks huh i thought you understood the mutation must survive wow i mean i get it i think i'm with victor on that one but i definitely get it oh yeah and all those years later present day now holy [ __ ] present day i understand now wow meanwhile how many problems can one girl cause oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] holy jesus are you gonna shoot another bird is it flare about to die wow she kept that all those years too [Music] powder holy [ __ ] holy [ __ ] [Music] oh that's not good well this is this is a lot better than i i tried to come back this is going better than i thought it ended up marcus i don't know i it doesn't matter i just i never thought i'd see you again are you real yes of course it's me bye your sister i'm i'm here i'm right here wow things changed when you left i changed i know about how i know you did what you had to do to survive wow me too it's okay what matters is we're together yeah when kate comes in it's going to be awkward holy [ __ ] who's she who are you it's okay she's a friend sevika wasn't lying you're with an enforcer your sister is jinx caitlyn just listen we can work this out i don't think we can you're powder it's okay stop calling me that it stinks now powder fell down a well you're not a jinx i never should stop talking to me like i'm a child was that why you came oh [ __ ] stupid stone no i don't even know what that is you're a class act sister sister thought i missed her i wouldn't miss her powder i'm here for you only you you can fire that thing if you want but i'm not going anywhere i'm not going to abandon you again yeah all the voices in her head [Music] [Applause] uh something actually coming oh [ __ ] hello yeah here comes the [ __ ] fire lights now to be fair the fire lights are enemies on both sides holy [ __ ] we're actually getting a team up what the hell oh my god this is so well animated bro i'm telling you i'm telling you that's echo oh damn oh [ __ ] yeah nice catch kate you might want to put that in your pocket or something i mean i guess it's so sturdy you actually don't need to worry about danger holy [ __ ] this is wild and not what i was expecting to be honest and she's seeing yeah she doesn't like what she's seeing though oh that's totally echo high bet money that's echo [Applause] yeah black player oh that dodge was insane [Music] yo lion jinx were so badass yeah yeah geez not really the same oh god oh [ __ ] why why is this happening again oh damn [Music] oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] [Music] oh [ __ ] she lost her again what the [ __ ] and she's all alone oh no oh god oh lord hi oh lord and he just [ __ ] end it like that what the [ __ ] [Music] and then they play this [ __ ] epic sad music yeah i think we're gonna have to do a reaction to this [ __ ] soundtrack with lyrics of course [ __ ] like ruby style god there's a lot of songs in this show [Music] oh my god [ __ ] vibe bro bye why do you always get knocked out from behind you're such a badass but holy [ __ ] watch your six girl yeah in fact i'm actually gonna turn this down but seriously watch your six girl but yeah i i i'm just gonna mute this honestly let's just mute it because uh we've got to let the credits roll because the show's [ __ ] gone tier yeah it's god's here that episode oh man that episode was easily more entertaining and enjoyable and then episode three i don't know if it was just what the [ __ ] is episode three but it was probably better i don't even know this show is in [ __ ] incredible it is a [ __ ] it takes a [ __ ] a [ __ ] heaven and earth to get these two sisters together jesus christ they finally come together and a few minutes later they're separated again and poor i mean i feel bad for both of them of course but poor [ __ ] jinx good lord jinx oh god okay it was funny i was gonna say originally i was like she's not as crazy as i thought she would be and then she started losing it more when she killed powder and went full jinx and then she was like exactly kind of what i pictured in my head so it turns out she actually is like that it just took a second i just want to double check and make sure there isn't any like crap okay no there's nothing yeah there's no like crazy [ __ ] that that really they really ended it on that man i mean it was only a week so you know you guys can't really complain about having to win a week for another episode because that's the traditional format anyways and you guys were getting three episodes a week but holy [ __ ] that because that was the difference right i feel like with the first act they really made the ending part feel like they made the ending part feel like an ending i feel like this felt more like a cliffhanger uh like one felt like a end of a season but maybe not end of a series or the end of an era of the series whereas this just felt like oh [ __ ] like i think this had more of a stronger like you want to watch more kind of feel so this was it's interesting that this end of the second act was more of the hook for the rest of the show when it was just the hook for the final three episodes funny how that works but this show is incredible and i'm gonna make the cut right away before we really talk any more about the episode i'm just gonna make the cut so i can talk as long as i want in the post game let's talk about arcane episode six because holy [ __ ] this show is stupid hello everybody we're back to talk about arcane episode six and man oh man was that a crazy act two finale you kind of feel so bad for these [ __ ] sisters both vine jinx just get [ __ ] over and over in their own ways they've gotten [ __ ] and obviously um you know we could talk about episode three and you know powder that being powder's fault and and all it's just so [ __ ] up all around and it it's really and when it comes down to it neither jinx nor vi deserve this [ __ ] and that's what makes it so sad and what makes you want to root for both of them so it's interesting though that did not go anything like i was expecting and it really has me questioning what the last three episodes are going to be because that was really interesting but it really was not what i was expecting i was expecting at the very least a fight between jinx and vi a proper fight between jinx and five where they fought each other and maybe came to an understanding over the course of it but there was an actual fight however much you know potentially vi or whatever would not want to do it i thought we would get a fight we didn't which is really interesting because the op might be [ __ ] with us now i have to accept that possibility now that the op might be [ __ ] with us or that means the season finale is gonna be their fight and if that's the case what the [ __ ] is the show because that i really didn't think it was the direction this was going but i have no [ __ ] clue where they're going because that went nothing like anything i was picturing in my head really interesting stuff the one thing about the fire lights is one of them is [ __ ] echo and it has to be has to be i don't know about these other people i don't know who the hell they are i i i imagine they're probably going to be new characters but we'll see how the fire lights are going to play into this is it possible we get another time skip i would think not but who knows at this point um because they did vote off the the councilman the one guy whose name i still don't have somehow and uh it's possible man could it be another time skip am i not crazy to actually think that because jinx could grow up even more vi spends more time away maybe she somehow becomes a fire light and maybe we time skip enough to where we can get to war between um the under city and um the uh uh piltover and that would be uh that would be insane but definitely definitely they're building towards a war obviously uh and like where does silko play into this is jinx does jinx go back to silco because because of all this i mean like i don't know what the [ __ ] they're gonna do because like that's the thing jinx has lost vi again so does jinx go back to silko and if there is a war how do the girls how do the sisters fit into all this what the [ __ ] gonna happen with kate like there's so many things that are just running through my head and it's like i feel like the political side of things is actually pretty easy to understand they've basically taken a hard-line stand you know led by uh jace i mean holy [ __ ] he's become a politician fast and you know given his character it's surprising to see it but it still feels like such a natural progression of his character with the way it's been written it's really well done and of course victor found the the dude the [ __ ] doctor dude that like worked for um [ __ ] silko and he's willing to do whatever it takes to save you know life because now he's dying now he understands the importance of that and like there's just so much stuff going on here that's [ __ ] amazing and this show in general is [ __ ] amazing and i'm so glad and sad that we're two-thirds of the way through arcane because i'm so excited for the last three episodes i'm so sad that we only have three more episodes but i'm also glad that i've also i've experienced most of this uh first season because this show is special i really can't say that enough this show is so [ __ ] special and this show is makes me so [ __ ] happy as someone who's a huge proponent of animation and as someone who's a huge fan of animation and i you know i i believe in the fact that us over here in the u.s and other parts of the the western world can make amazing narratives through animation and there's great examples i have a couple i have a couple over there on my shelf of blu-rays like avatar the last airbender and gravity falls and there's been others that are incredible shows like bojack horseman for example but this show does something that i feel like as amazing as some of the shows i named are this show feels truly like it's hard to describe it because those shows i named i feel like are very special but this show just has something i mean it's just one it's it's [ __ ] incredible and like i i adore like everything about it i think that just the narrative the storytelling the characters the [ __ ] designs which to be fair that that's legal i mean a lot of this is just it's just league's potential uh come to light but i mean this is but a lot of it's just the brilliant writing to turn this into this incredible story like i i'm actually just i've been so [ __ ] captivated by um arcane and i'm i'm so excited for the final three episodes and like my adoration for jinx and vi and i like i said i'm in love with jinx i'm in love with vi i'm in love with kate i'm in love with [ __ ] mel she's [ __ ] great i'm really starting to like chase a lot like i like i feel like his character development's been very natural in in in a way that's been super interesting um victor's really cool i really like silco like i think silco is such an interesting character and i feel like how he's been used has been so like all the characters i feel like they're avoiding like like they they all have their tropes and stuff but i feel like all of them have avoided being cookie cutter and that's so great like because all of these characters you can fit them into certain archetypes but i feel like they all have tons of depth and i feel like vi jinx kate uh [ __ ] victor silko j smell like there's nuance to every single character i just named because those all are like basically all the main characters and they're like all my favorite characters like what the [ __ ] right because i love all of them holy [ __ ] um you know if i had to pick a favorite character because i'm a [ __ ] sucker for crazy chicks you guys know that it's hard for me to not say jinx vi holy [ __ ] i like caitlyn like i didn't know i was gonna like kate this much but like the last like two episodes she's been so good i love her dynamic with vi i think that might actually be my favorite dynamic in the show vying kate i love the dynamic honestly between victor and uh jace and just them working i think that's really cool but honestly vine kate might have my favorite dynamic but holy [ __ ] i love this show and holy [ __ ] i love jinx and vi and every other [ __ ] character like i don't know what to say like it's very rare that i have a show where like i like every character this much like i mean i guess like steins gate is probably the best example i have of just a show where i just [ __ ] love everyone like i really do i'm looking at my list of characters and i love all of these characters probably my least favorite character and it's not even because i don't understand his plight i actually think he's a really well written character is marcus like the only thing with marcus is i just don't really like him that much uh it's not that i like dislike him or whatever but he's kind of to make the comp well i guess yeah to be fair by the end i actually really [ __ ] liked moaka so i don't actually have much of a comp there but i'm sure there's a good comp for me to a character that like i like but like it's at the bottom end of my like for like steins gate but it's similar to where it's like it feels like every character uh just they have something that makes them great and none of them are one-dimensional like because that's thing even marcus like he has that you know the whole balancing the piece doing his job protecting his daughter like there's so many layers to that so every single character has their motivations has their their their their trials and tribulations that just play in so well into the narrative and there's a lot going on because we're flipping between these different characters who are doing these different things and built over and the lanes all over the place and somehow it makes this harmonious fusion of a show that somehow the pacing's great and i think a lot of that has to do with the fact that while they are trying to do a lot of stuff i think the length of the episodes helps immensely um i think this show is so much better off being nine 40-minute episodes than it would be 18 20-minute episodes i think the fact that the way it's paced is perfect for this show uh while i am an advocate for animated shows being able to be in this kind of like hour you know 40 45 minute whatever time slot um i think like generally speaking i think a lot of shows don't belong in that type of extended episode because it's hard to make that work and while invincible made that work i'm not completely convinced invincible had to be in that format i feel like arcane absolutely just hits the mark for it be having 40-minute episodes i feel like it utilizes the you know 35 38 however many minutes depending on the episode whatever of actual story time so well that i could easily see these episodes being an hour long okay i could see these episodes being longer and working really well i i whereas with invincible i love invincible and you know it was really really good it's really my only comparison for like like animated series long episodes of a similar length to arcane um with invincible while i am very happy that the episodes were the length they were and i think invincible similarly did a great job of utilizing that to their advantage i think invincible also could have worked with shorter episodes now i don't think they should have it i think i think it works for that but unlike where with arcane i feel like it utilizes it so much that i i honestly feel like it would have been a legitimate detriment to the show if the episodes were shorter and it had to be more broken out because of the what arcane what makes arcane different in this comp is our cane has so many different perspectives that we're jumping from and yet it's all narratively fused together and it always builds to one cacophony of chaos a beautiful symphony of destruction and that is what makes arcane so good and i feel like again i'm not a league player so i don't have any i don't know if if league players would agree with me here because i'm making a bit of an assumption that i probably shouldn't make but i feel like it feels in the spirit of a game-like league that this series is a chaotic symphony of destruction that all just it's like a smorgasbord of content that somehow all beautifully fuses together into one cohesive narrative and i think one if you can do that in any story and pull it off it's impressive that's very hard to do that's why a lot of storytellers like to ground themselves in a specific character a specific narrative keep their focus isolated on specific things and build the world around that character which is not what arcane does at all but instead builds the world through all the different characters it follows and you know that type of storytelling can be hard to do because you have to you know have a cohesive theme through it all you know your greater narrative has to make sense as to why you focus on all these different things and it all has to come together right and it's a lot easier to do that when you're focusing on a more singular story with a singular narrative behind a singular character and obviously you could you know variate that to a little bit but my point is to the extent arcane does it it's very difficult and it's done so [ __ ] well and it really just blows my mind that this show just exists like i can't i honestly can't believe that that this that that like obviously again i don't know [ __ ] about league but obviously league has tons of [ __ ] lore which much of this is based off of but i can't believe that we had some show writers and like the people who made this show apologies i i can't remember there's like two main people i know in the credits but i'm i don't pay attention because i'm a [ __ ] idiot so i can't think of your names right now but you guys are goats by the way uh but the people who you know the show runners the writers here uh they did such an incredible job of not only bringing league of legends to life in arcane but actually tangibly sifting through all of the potential of league and turning it into this incredible narrative that not only is incredible on its own but potentially just scratches the surface of league's potential as a series and essentially i feel like arcane has secured league spot as a as a legendary uh game for all time like i think this is you know league was pretty close to that status already if not there but because it's still one of the most popular games in the world but this pushes it over the top into a level of infamy and legend that few video game franchises video games ever will like i feel like this immortalizes league in a way that not even you know all the competitive esports and all the other [ __ ] that that league is all over uh this takes it to another level because because the show's been so wildly successful and is so [ __ ] good while it might take forever for you know new content to be made new content will be made this is just the beginning of us getting league stuff again whether season two of arcane is about different characters or continues this story which i still have no idea with three episodes left either way like if arcane is the league of legends series and there's going to be a gazillion seasons of awesome if arcane is going to be about jinx and vi and and the other characters that they mentioned awesome but they're still going to do other shows about other characters that all exist within the same universe [ __ ] mcu style like you know it's coming like it might take [ __ ] five six years but it's coming like this is just holy [ __ ] like [Music] part of the reason i'm sucking this off so much well i mean it's like 95 because holy [ __ ] this is actually one of my this is actually like really high on my favorite shows the show is so good but part of the reason i'm sucking this show off as much as i am is because this show might be the final domino that needs to fall for the west to change their perception about animation i feel like we've been there part of it's just the fact that you know my generation's getting older and the generation behind me and you know these younger people who watch anime and all this [ __ ] you know more than ever they understand these things and that allows us to change perspectives as we get older and we become you know the the adults i'm [ __ ] 24. holy [ __ ] that's terrifying but um you know it's the changing of the guard and but this is also proving to those old heads who you know who aren't in the know yet who aren't us yet thank god that this works this can be successful as [ __ ] this can be profitable as [ __ ] i mean at the very least it's proven that league of legends can be profitable as [ __ ] holy [ __ ] and and you know that netflix and riot understand that this is just the beginning and again like i said probably gonna take forever because holy [ __ ] this animation is so [ __ ] expressive it's so well done that it's going to take forever to make more of this i don't want to know how long this took to make because holy [ __ ] it's so good but it will come and there will be more money behind it i don't know how much money was behind this you could double it for season two or the next um or the next related arcane league of legends thing um this show's amazing i'm so interested in this story and what they're going to do with vine jinx and i'm like nervous because i don't know [ __ ] for all i know that the [ __ ] characters back that's the thing right i don't know how many of these are are like lol i mean it is lol but lol characters i don't know how many of these are league characters right but i assume for example vander is probably a character in league vander died which means that league characters can die for all i [ __ ] know his backstory in the game says oh he [ __ ] died you know on this day this happened whatever and and i don't know how much context but maybe his backstory is like oh yeah this guy's like a guy who died in the back in the day or whatever i don't [ __ ] know probably doesn't but maybe it does i don't know so like that's the thing that's the beauty for me of knowing [ __ ] about league i have no [ __ ] clue what's even possible narratively so for me it's like watching a show that has no source material because essentially for me it is and i mean it is i imagine for a lot of people because obviously there's a [ __ ] ton of league fans which is one of the reasons this has been so popular is because all the [ __ ] league fans are watching it because why the [ __ ] wouldn't you but also all the non-league fans watching it on top of that it's just it's just so it's so like it honestly feels stupid in hindsight because it's like [ __ ] like this is so obvious that it would be successful especially on all you would need is just to do it right and like you don't need to worry about it being a niche hit and they [ __ ] did it right and it's [ __ ] gangbusters holy [ __ ] i'm honestly probably gonna comment these last three episodes at this rate like legitimately like flying on the camera banned from youtube like x-rated [ __ ] is is coming probably literally coming you know like that that that feels like the direction this is taking um and uh if if that is the direction then it's been a good ride but hopefully that is not where we go hopefully the calm stays inside of my um down here where you can't see it because i think the [ __ ] is probably inevitable um and about as inevitable as thanos and [ __ ] jinx [ __ ] me in the ass please god please let that happen i mean i'll take kate or vi or [ __ ] any of the girls honestly i mean they're all hot as [ __ ] and and just amazing like [ __ ] like they could just be one or the other but of course they're both of course they're like godly characters and they're hot like like what the [ __ ] league like you have to double me like that like holy [ __ ] i can't even pick like i mean jinx i feel like i'm i'm i'm committing a crime by not saying jinx and to be honest i think jinx is my favorite character but it's like those type of characters are like often my favorite character in a lot of things because i just [ __ ] love crazy chicks again as you guys know for anyone who's a long time viewer but what i hate about this is i do love crazy chicks and i wish that i could um i wish that like i almost wish i didn't because then i could see like just how much do i love jinx because i honestly think i love her character writing so much and a lot of times crazy chicks that's the thing crazy chicks have that deep rooted reasons for why they're crazy like with jinx and it's really compelling right and that's the thing with jinx but like i also just dig crazy chicks so it i want to know how much of that is a bias towards crazy chicks because i really think she's my favorite but [ __ ] vi is so good and do i can't stress enough kate i feel like i can't mention not mention kate but i then i want to just mention all the characters because they're all so good and the show is god's here and i've honestly i've went on such a rant that i don't even remember how much i've talked about the episode the episode was [ __ ] brilliant i think i said a lot about the episode holy [ __ ] what is wrong with me [ __ ] i've been going on for [ __ ] 22 minutes on this i think like a minute or two before i cut [ __ ] me um well that was episode six of arcane i'm trying to i i wanna like briefly go over my thoughts on the episode in case i forgot anything um holy [ __ ] uh there wasn't much sexual tension just a little between vi and kate other than that we were fine but um jinx and vi that whole thing and how they ended up sort of teaming up and then vi was like kind of horrified by like what what powder had become and then before she could help her and like hug her do something she gets [ __ ] knocked out again it's like history repeating itself right in the climax of episode six just like the climax of episode three deja vu and it's the same thing where jinx ends up alone of course here she's completely alone which is arguably worse than being taken in by silko and then i don't know does she go back to silk i don't know what the [ __ ] happens like because she's obviously pissed because she she's mad that you know via was still alive and i i don't know she probably just stays on her own i guess and like where does silko's art go oh my god oh it's just a it's just information overload in my head i'm like trying to process so many things i'm like oh my god like what's gonna happen with this this this this and this like the council thing is straightforward i'm not really talking about that because that's like you know they're making their back they're going further down this path with jace um and we'll see where it takes them and how that uh affects uh society i imagine by the end of season one um the the arcane element will be in full swing and that'll be very interesting but it's going to be crazy it's going to be crazy and i'm still worried that vine now i'm really worried about the the shot in the op where vine jinx are fighting each other because they didn't fight each other so does that mean they're gonna fight each other at the end of the season i'ma [ __ ] cry at this rate holy [ __ ] i really like i wanna see i wanted to see it because i was like oh they're gonna fight it's episode six they're gonna resolve it'll be fine i don't wanna see them fight at the end of the season holy [ __ ] i swear to god if one of them kills the other i'm [ __ ] i'm [ __ ] oh man i might have to end it all and leave forever that's two eva references and i think this is the same video i don't even know i don't even know if that was in the last episode this episode i'm [ __ ] i'm [ __ ] this is what happens i watch like three hours of arcane and then gush over it for like i mean there's at least an hour of me fapping to the show between the last three reactions between four five and six i'm done i do not want to just go on for an hour it's [ __ ] four in the morning december 7th by the way four and four in the mornings it's really the night of the six so at this point you could argue it is the morning i don't know i don't care i'm gonna chill i'm gonna maybe talk to a friend who's a the [ __ ] league fan and arcane fan and talk about how the show is [ __ ] amazing and i don't [ __ ] know this show's amazing what else do i need to say i spent over 25 minutes gushing over this episode a lot of it i think was just about the story like i feel like half the time i'm not even gushing about the sh the episode itself but the show overall or the characters or whatever the [ __ ] random nonsense show's amazing i [ __ ] hate how much i'm talking but you guys are probably loving it some of you probably are like damn shark like break it down more daddy some of you call me daddy it's weirdly less of turn on than you think i want to be the one calling the calling the woman daddy i mean it's fine with mommy but it's hot to call a girl daddy what the [ __ ] am i saying see that's the thing i'm basically drunk on how good these episodes were i kind of almost wish i drank because i don't drink but i kind of wish i i do because that would that would give a better excuse here [ __ ] anyways um uh [ __ ] links down below description discord patreon you know the drill what the [ __ ] let's just get out of here because i my mind is still like just going all over the place so thoughts and i'm just if i if i let myself i'm just i'm literally gonna have a [ __ ] one-hour outro and we're not even this isn't even the season finale [ __ ] the season finale outro might actually be an hour at this [ __ ] rate if that actually happens please shoot me someone anyways flamin shark signing out hope you guys have a wonderful fantastical day and i'll see you next time with another video thanks for watching peace
