Arcane 2x9

finale!

Comments

You know, after watching all of Arcane, I'm actually dissapointed by this second season for multiple reasons but mostly because we didn't get League Viktor AND this one is now canon now apparently... League Viktor was 100 times more interesting imo.

Bastiwen

yepp, She was goaled to gain a connection to either Vi or Caitlyn while in their squad but ordered to get closer to Caitlyn after she was pronounced commander of piltover.

Jason Buckley

I just realized on the second watchthrough that Maddie sabotaged their bomb. Also, supposedly according to one of the creators Maddie was a Noxian plant from the very start

Chronos Hoffman

I’m sure someone might have mentioned this by now, but I do like how in the first episode of season 1, Powder mentions that one day she is going to pilot one of those airships. Now we see one going off into the distance at the end. Amazing.

Kayden

the viktor we saw was from a different timeline, it wasn't the same one from our timeline. Viktor and Jayce are definitely dead.

marlanes

Also.... Jayce, Viktor are most definitely not dead. For one, Viktor needs to be alive for him to go back in time and give that runestone to little baby Jayce, if that doesn't happen because he dies here... then this whole timeline just goes to shit (unless im reading this whole situation wrong). Jayce himself is a mystery tho, we don't know what his storyline is beyong this point so... he could actually be dead for all we know.

Julio Castillo

Im gonna be honest here.... even now i still don't hate Maddie. I don't even feel satisfaction when she dies. It could be because i inmediately liked her from her introduction in Act 1... but i think it's also because the writters weren't even subtle in the way they portrayed her character to make us, the audience... inherently hate her. In Act 1 she's introduced as a Ray of Sunshine who simply wants to help but without going into her psyche deeply. Then in Act 2 the very first scene she appears is in Bed with Cait, and given how much people are invested in the Violyn Ship... the writters knew that making Maddie be Cait's new partner was gonna stir shit up in the fandom and make a lot of people turn on her from this point already, for being the one that "Stole Cait" as they probably thought to themselves. And then.... the only other important thing she does after this (in Act 3) is revealing that she was a Noxian Spy all along and then... just die almost inmediately after that reveal. No deeper characterization or nuance in her true self like even Rictus had. This whole progression of events for her character simply tells that the writers wanted us to see her as a Soul-less Monster and cheer for her death. Like.... We all know how Noxus as a whole is like, what we see characters like Ambessa, Rictus and Maddie do is something we can expect from Noxus in general, which is why i don't fully understand why the hate towards Maddie is even greater than the hate towards Ambessa (i say "fully" cuz i know that the root of the hate comes from Violyn Shippers who don't want their Sapphic Couple threatened). Personally... i would've liked to see more of the "real" Maddie before she would eventually be killed, it would've helped me decide whether she is truly worthy of all the hate she gets. In Short..... im still coping with the fact that the "Ray of Sunshine" Character i liked so much turned out to be a ruthless killer.

Julio Castillo

Well he is also made of trauma, he is just the only one to use it to push forwards on his goals.

alex woroniecki

There only was storyboard, so at most there is some rough art. Nothing fully detailed or animated. Besides maybe the Vi, Cat sex scene because french people.

alex woroniecki

I would like to agree with this. As the flashback we had in that scene couldnt have been Jinx or Vi's as they where both asleep. So it most be a Vander flashback. As when Jinx pulls out the monkey bomb, its the same style as the one on the nightstand or shelf in the foreground of the flashback. I think all that really changed was warwick letting go, but that would have been enough for jinx to get away from him and out.

alex woroniecki

Noxus invasion of Ionia would be a good call. As we could see people from Noxus as thats where it feels we where pointed last. Then we could see parts of Noxus and Ionia all in one good sweep. Than after that show a Demacia mage civil war would be its own good stand alone.

alex woroniecki

Most people are not familiar with league heros or lore at all. So they just think of the next most popular character or are based off what other reactions or people have told them.

alex woroniecki

For a little context on why Maddie is holding binocular's next to Cait as she was sniping, she's acting as a spotter (a second pair of eyes) for Cait. Snipers lose a serious amount of their field of vision looking through their scopes, so a spotter's job is to scan the scenery for possible targets while the sniper takes them out. Otherwise Cait would have to pull back from her scope, find a target and adjust to take a shot.

Connor Clemmons

Wait, what? The show dropped every possible hint that Singed is the father of Orianna, including sharing that he has the same last name and that Orianna in the locket has the same hairstyle as the champion, and you managed to miss all of that?

The GigaCat

i actually think the girl singed brought back is lux but who knows. maybe in the next serie we may find out

Anthony

Anyone else been having problems with the player buffering?

Samuel Brewer

nah, Leblanc got 3 wins in this season: 1- Ambessa is dead. 2- Mel (chosen child) found. 3- She now has the hextech gem from Jayce's hammer. She is the one who was controlling the crow, not Swain. At this point in the lore, Raum, the demon of secrets, hasn't made a contract with Swain yet. At this point, Raum is imprisoned by Leblanc and forced to do shit for her.

Sancturillore -- Élie Simard-Wallot

Even if it's not Swain yet, it's at the very least a crow of Raum, the demon of secret. At this point, Raum is imprisoned by Leblanc, so she's likely the one who's going to get the hextech gem that the crow picked up.

Sancturillore -- Élie Simard-Wallot

Also, considering the blue light the crow was looking at within the fragments of the hammer, I think the crow picked up the hexgem that was in it and is now bringing it to Swain in Noxus.

Sancturillore -- Élie Simard-Wallot

except that the crows in season 1 did not have red eyes. Only the ones in season 2. So he has seen a lot, but not everything.

Sancturillore -- Élie Simard-Wallot

8:14 Snipers have spotters. someone to help assist with spotting enemies and calculate distance and wind direction.

vincent shiflett

Yeah But I think the biggest reason I have hope is that, when Viktor disappeared, all the dolls fell apart. Warwick on the other hand only collapsed for a moment and then regained consciousness, meaning theres still a semblance of autonomy left, a slight slither of hope that maybe hes still somewhere in there.

Spicy Noodles

A funny robo man starting a cult

Kino

Don't do it, you're better than that. Love yourself and stay away from it.

Kino

Tbh i think that he's Gone. You saw what happened to him. He was fully purified by Viktor and indirectly by Singed. I kinda wished that for his purified form that they made him look more like the original Warwick.

Kino

well my point being that cait was specifically smiling because she was hearing vi humming.

mitchhamilton64

Yeah but I know for certain that Cait is at very least positive of her survival

DeAnthony Potts

cait was smiling at the end because she heard vi humming. i dont see cait smiling about jinx possibly faking her death.

mitchhamilton64

Holy 😂

Jaquan Ford

Jinx can join the growing list of champions that canonically just roadtrip across Runeterra, like Yasuo and Ahri. Make it a skin line. Roadshow Jinx coming soon.

Justin_IVIX

They might go Ionia first and have stuff meet up in Noxus. Basically have 2 stories that are sorta contained and set a lot of stuff up that then blows up in Noxus.

Miklar Sihn

League are looking at making animation for other areas, I remember them mentioning Ionia and Noxus. They have said nothing about what form it will take.

Miklar Sihn

That is definitely one of Swains crows, the 3 eyes part shows that. The thing is, they have been showing crows in important scenes throughout the show. Swain has more that likely seen everything, he has been a viewer alongside us from really early on.

Miklar Sihn

I still think there is a better timeline, where Jayce talks to Viktor instead of shooting him. That gives us a Viktor that heals the sick and helps people, without trying to solve everything. It gives us Isha, Jinx, Vander and Vi as a family. We would still have Ambessa and Noxus issues. But the war would be far less horrifying. Generally, Jayce has made a mistake every time he shot that weapon. He has shot victims, kids and his best friend. They might be weaponised victims, but still victims.

Miklar Sihn

He just failed to add 1 word. "The amount of money Riot would have made of league players didn't tell everyone who asked if they should PLAY not to with 100% sincerity." Beyond that he should probably have added a word for how much money. Like "Would have been staggering."

Miklar Sihn

bro literally typing like an ai

Julamuse

Brother reading this shit gave me an aneurism, 2nd half of this sentence makes 0 sense

Ougi

The amount of money Riot would make if league players didn't tell everyone who asked if they should play the game not to with 100% sincerity.

Jaquan Ford

I saw someone refer to Maddie as Caitlyn's "rebound girl".

Liesmith

Yes! Also because binoculars give a wider field of vision, so the spotter can keep situational awareness if the sniper gets tunnel visioned on their target.

QuibblesAndGitz

THE BOY SAVIOR 🐐

horny coral

Arcane is so detailed. from the medallion alternate powder got (has ekko and jinx face on it the flower). To Jinxs boots decorations. one leg for Silco and Vander pieces of clothing/ design. The winions in the last act (red soldiers and blue with "Herold" buff). This shows deserves more and then some. To the music, to the art, and the story telling. Not to mention how they did the 3d animations saved a lot of money mixed with 2d, a whole new way to do things.

Mmidnight Mistake

God dammit, who fed Viktor?! In a serious note I think we are definitely going to see a sequel series based on Noxus v Demacia. Given that we saw Swain's crow at the end I can almost guarentee.

Wil DeYoung

Go frame by frame at Jinx's sacrifice play and you'll see a pink streak going away from the explosion

Thomas Malone

I like to think that Vander saved her form her own bomb at the end. like deep down somewhere hes still there and instinctively took the blast which is how she could have survived and this is more cope but i think he's with her. who else would be crazy enough to try and bring him back than jinx.

Spicy Noodles

Public opinion? Naw I stand by what I said because I picked up on a lot of stuff since I graduated film school. But people otherwise would need to look online or need to watch the episode more than once to get most things. It’s a fair assessment and in the first 2 episodes I also said the pacing felt long to establish

aliciaxlife

LOL yeah that’s why I went “oh it’s just a big ass dude”

aliciaxlife

next series is Jinx' debut as a travel vlogger

Mempedede

Oh, she IS going to be a champion in game. Announced for 2025.

Miguel Aarón García

Now all we need is Noxus storyline with Mordekaiser as the final boss

Keigen Kissick

lmfao the adc (cait) and support (mel) vs the overly FED TOP laner Ambessa LMFAO XD

Rj Casido

Ya a lot of stuff points it out. it be nice to see Jinx again in Demacia

Andre Rusaw

Dude's a catalyst for way too much of Runeterra's problems XD

Seth

Seconding this, it's very normal for a sniper to have a spotter join them for a multitude of reasons.

Seth

bit of pointless info but Maddie was there with binoculars because she's a spotter. snipers in real world conflicts always have a partner with either a sniper scope or a special kind of scope to help double check distances before the sniper fires

Spicy Noodles

That battle was a small game of LOL. 5v5 (Singed was AFK.) Single lane with mobs pushing. Jace and Victor fighting in what must be the jungle They even had a turret, firing shipping containers. No wonder noone could place the mage from episode 1 Almost expect Mel to become a champion in game. She is too pretty of a design to waste.

Spacefrog

2 things yes that was swains raven grabbing probably grabbing the hextech orb from jayces hammer also next three shows are supposed to be focused on demacia noxus and ionia according to what people said from the producers

Malik myers

And now the wait for the next series begins. It will likely be the noxus series next with mel as one of the main characters

Artemis

i dont think she realizes how much of a problem mordekaiser would be like the episode would be like 5 min long

Malik myers

Viktor was by far the strongest part of season 2 up to episode 8's ending (peak scene) and then by far the weakest part of season 2 episode 9. How does this happen. and also why does he look like that, design so goofy, and ain't no way that Jayce, after Viktor willingly gave up all his human emotions and we got a whole sequence about his humanity being erased, successfully appealed to Viktor's emotions, bro what is HAPPENING

Ellerian

oh my god, in episode one powder say when she see a zepplin "one day i am gonna fly one of those" and it end with her doing it. and it actually her first line except for the song at the start.

millecamps

Or maybe that's just her opinion. I've seen a lot of unjust hate towards this ending but it did have problems. Caitlyn's arc this season is very rushed and she doesn't receive any consequences for her literal gassing of the undercity. The creators confirmed themselves that the finale was originally planned to be an hour and a half long. It was objectively rushed.

Ockto

13:00

rouyrre du colibri

Great reaction, but man you did not have to switch from 10/10 to a 9 to suit the public opinion (ppl think it was rushed and demanded riot to answer and they said the last ep was longer but they needed to shave off some content, it is not like there is no merit to what the criticism is, the score would feel way more credible had these recordings occured before the public started yapping), it was obvious that your gut reaction was way more genuine, other than that i loved it so much and i do not mean anything bad by saying this.

Matt

idk, but calling a comment section chat might be cringe af. Just saying.

Azel !!

Maddie had the binocs because snipers have spotters.

Othorious

yeah...... season 3...

nick

Pretty sure the LeBlanc still has Andressa soul. Which could play a role in season 3.

Kyle D

god this show almost made me relapse into league again.

Grumbledor .

chat is it prewatching to follow plot threads to their natural conclusion or when the most obvious plot twist happens

Malcorpse

Apparently they cut like an hour of content from the last episode because Netflix said it was to long. I need the directors cut so badly

Malcorpse

Man stayed in his lane, immediately switched sides when given the chance, provided timely tangible results for all his employers, and had no moral convictions holding him back.

Malcorpse

The guy that's a catalyst for just about everything that goes wrong in the whole story gets the fucking W. Like I don't want to congratulate him but I gotta applaud the commitment.

Malcorpse

Between Mel, Oriana, Vi, and Jinx, Silco's "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?" hits to the heart of everything.

Bologna Amputation

Okay, so I guess Caitlyn couldn't handle two girlfriends after all. Ws in chat for Singed though. Everyone else is made of trauma, but he's accomplished all his goals.

Rx1867

For anyone who wants to know what ekko said to jinx Arcane According to Christian linke "I think what's so cool about Ekko and Jinx is that when he tries to convince Jinx that there is a version of Powder, of her, that is so different, that is a whole complete person. And so I think that's really beautiful, and it really also was what Ekko needed. To kind of see it. Powder is such an amazing example of what Zaun can be, and I think that's kind of worth continuing their story."

jac jacob israel

MASSIVE SINGED W

teatus

Yeah you're right he is imprisoned and used by Leblanc !

Lobose

This! incredibly beautiful show!

Nico

We won't get a 3rd season of Arcane, but this is what the creators have said. "Noxus, Ionia and Demacia are getting shows and are [the] next steps into this cinematic universe. We’re far from done, we’re going wide, we’re looking at every region, and we now have the ability to build a slate to tell new stories and continue others," he said. "[The] next series [has been] in development for about a year."

Switchchris27

That was not what he said in the interview. He said they have been working on scripts, and have not decided on what region to do next. They are looking at Noxus, Ionia, or Demacia currently, but have not actually begun work on any of them, let alone all three at once.

Silent Eric

ok?

Azel !!

My biggest complaint about this finale is honestly the fact that we barely got any Jinx/Ekko stuff… what we did get was just a few seconds. I wanted to see them actually talking (not just Ekko trying to talk her down from suicide) about what happened between them. It would have been such a great character moment for Jinx and would have made the jump to her appearance in the final fight feel less jarring if they showed her thought process transition a bit more into that space as well as the two of them creating stuff for it together. But they ran out of time ig. Honestly most things that they don’t show can be inferred but it still would have been nice to experience them within the show. But like Jayce said, there is beauty in imperfections. I love this show to death and will be very interested in seeing what the creators do next.

Chelly

Sly little thing, no surprise most people didn't see through their tears.

Kazukima

In an interview with Necrit, the co-creator of Arcane answered a ton of stuff over like two hours. He confirmed they've been working on the next animated series for a little over a year now, and he confirmed at least two others. The next few series will be following Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia though he didn't confirm which order -- granted I don't doubt that Noxus is the first up.

Ryan Mac Ingram

Loved the reaction! I had similar criticisms for the second season. The story of arcane is wrapped but they've mentioned they're looking at other series/regions with characters from arcane potentially popping up.

_ Zenp00l_

waiting for league streams when mel comes out in 2025!!!

eddie

Meh i mean i just don't like the ending I know it's a tragedy still don't like how they did ekko

grim artifact

bruh this story is a tragedy ofc many things ended tragically, have you been paying attention?

Chelly

This is why i subtribe to you! your the first reactor ive seen notice Madi's smile and how its related to empath stuff

Karma

Actual Arcane MC with so little screen time, what a W

Noel

Can't be Swain's raven. At least it isn't yet. Apperently the invasion of Ionia hasn't happened yet.

Minibom22

Ekko truly was the boy savior. Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, and Jayce would have been cooked without him lol

DeAnthony Potts

I don’t think she has the time or energy to pre-watch🤣

Josue

THE SINGED W NEEDS TO BE STUDIED PLOT: PROXIED CONSEQUENCES: KITED DAUGHTER: CURED 200 CS 6/0/1 KDA GGEZ

A Crab

could be explained as Raum doing it for Leblanc cause isn't he imprisoned in noxus until swain makes a deal with him?

Cabo Boose

and its not like we gotta cope that hard. They not perma killing the most popular character in the game lol I would like to see her return when they introduce Lux in future arcs

DeAnthony Potts

I think 9/10 is fair. It's still one of the best series I've ever seen, but there were a lot of stuff in season 2 that could've been better. I feel like it would be perfect with 4 ep a set instead of 3. Second set feels especialy cramped.

Clockwork Rin

Me when I pre-watch

Azel !!

I really just don't like ekko's storyline ending i mean it really felt like the writers had something against him 😔 he didn't deserve that

grim artifact

Singed, the only one who got his happy ending

King

Awsome finish to this unfortunately short series

DS

I second this.

Robert Collard

The pink line before the explosion. Cait looking at the building schematics. The final shot being an airship flying away while the first shot was one coming into the city with powder saying she wanted to ride it one day and the "the end" was done all jinx style. She alive

marlanes

Jinx potentially survives at the moment of the explosion you see a shimmer streak fly into the vents

Andre Rusaw

netflix is correct, you should watch Blue Eye Samurai next

Burke

It IS one of his crows at the end but possibly not yet because unless Arcane alters the actual lores timeline Swain should not have yet this power. Anyway I hope we get his backstory in a noxus centered show in the future... I hope.

Lobose

the director has confimed that there are 3 more series (not seasons) in development, one set in noxus, one in Ionia and one in Demacia

Lotan

Fun note: Jinx's attire and hairstyle resembles closely to Vi in the final episode with the top wrappings and the shaved hair.

Carl

Sad thing is they lost money or at least broke even because the deal they had with Netflix gave them way too little money for the popularity the show had and ita speculated that thats why they cut it only in 2 seasons and now maybe they have the chance to pick a more profitable way for the next show and they can take their time make money and not rush to pack everything in 1 season

FallenJediRise

Well to be fair Mel is an Anti-Magic mage and Leblanc accomplished what she wanted to do (without actually being there btw) i.e. kill madarda and find who is the "chosen child". don't worry she is probably going to manipulate Mel from afar as they do it in the cabal.

Lobose

Maddie was acting as Caitlyn's spotter.

Gore17

From what I've been hearing, there are some theories that she could show up in the spinoffs in Demacia since that's where her in game bestie Lux (at least in that certain universe) is from. Others say Ionia but who knows. Ik for sure the three regions they said they're doing is Noxus, Demacia & Ionia so we'll see

Edward

Also if you look very closely right before the bomb goes off you can see two pink streaks flash off into the airducts. THe same exact effect used when jinx uses her shimmer speed.

xeleasticfox-x23

I actiualy kinda like that Viktor became so powerfull that the only one who can defeat him is Victor himself. But yeah, Black rose had no wins in forever. At this point you can't even take Le Blanc seriously

Clockwork Rin

Gotta be honest not a big fan of Viktor being the solution to his own problem storyline. Feels like it weakens the overall story, but what you gonna do. Also these fuckers make it real difficult to be a Black Rose fan, can we get 1 win. Bro, baby mage Mel overpowering who we assume to be Le Blanc (because who else would it be) is wild.
