Jinx being crazy for over 3 minutes straight 

Ikr😭

The council just got jinxed

terrorism, mass murder, probably more

To be fair, political mass murder is a lot less insane than serving your sister her girlfriends severed head on a platter.

@@Cannonfodder0617 I agree. Decapitation is a lot more personal.

@@osmanyousif7849 Still can't believe it's the same girl, 0.0

She was incredible. But I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the voice actress of young Powder. That scene at the end of episode 3, when she realizes what she'd done...? Shivers. Absolutely brilliant acting. I have never seen a more realistic breakdown in anything probably, let alone an animated show. And from such a young actress...!! Amazing.

Every voice actor here fits every character, I like Silco's voice the best

@@osmanyousif7849 ikr? She's amazing!

@@osmanyousif7849 Wait that was her?!? She was good and expressive as Jinx especially when experiencing the effects of her mental illnesses!

I love that part

Omfg I didn't catch that till now...

@@applepieexplosion4030 oh shit, i got it only now too…

Oh ouch... I thought that was just her joking...yeesh,

Wait wut

I mean she is insane, but not to a degree that you can't talk to her reasonably. She still understands logic and she makes sense once you understand how she thinks.

@@user-tp8io4vz6s Honestly, Summoners Rift is not canon, so I don't see a reason why anything in the actual game should be.

@@Mediados She thinks like a child ngl

@@rinxmacaroni2085 A heavily armed child

@@mercwiththemouthsnewphone6798 to be exact

yea the doc that saved her life I bet he put a literal shit-tonne of shimmer into her- probably isn't helping with her psychotic breaks, I bet.

Yeah he definitely did a transplant of shimmer to the point it changed her physical attributes. Like eyes increased strength and stuff

I think it was just the light from the gun lol

@@Tidepod_Prince light from the gun is blue, her tears were purple-

*Ya'll got any more of that shimmer?*

I can't believe I missed that...

Ohhhh shit, I completely missed that

You sir, are a genius, I tip my hat to you. I am an itiod.

I don't get it

@@tink6225 ...Vi calls Caitlyn 'cupcake'. Jinx said she "made her [Caitlyn] a snack" leading Vi to think she was about to be served Caitlyn's head on a platter, but it was an actual cupcake instead of HER cupcake.

the funniest part of the whole show was when Vi asked Sevika about Jinx: 'where is he keeping her?'...like, there's a high chance that right at that moment, he attented one of her special tea parties 🤣

That whole scene is just perfect. The way it opens with Silco waiting impatiently for her to show up, being momentarily distraught when she doesn't, then struggling to administer the shimmer himself despite having no problems with it back in episode 1 (showing how dependent he has become on Jinx and reinforcing the genuine care he has for her) to then being terrorized when she actually does get there. It's perfect 👌

Where can I watch this 🤔?

@@WICKEDYAYA1 Netflix

@GodEmperor Bigfoot another little thing i noticed, silco goes immediately to explaining instead of saying "you're wrong", likely since he knows how all she wants is acceptance

Yea same writing characters that are relatable and not flawless can be hard sometimes…

It's not PTSD bro, she has straigh up schizophrenia. Voices, delusions, hallucinations, seeing demons, being violent etc.

She's smart yet r3t@rded at the same time. LOL However, it can actually be like this IRL.

@@Tansymist same.

And Jinx is only 1 person in her. There are so many others.

i listen to it every time i make bombs now

@@jinx4723 Bet that in Season 2, you and Vi are gonna fight.

@@jinx4723 🤨

Jet jinxed is a vibe tho

@@jinx4723 Winder when you’ll see Warwick lmao

*Jinx Cruella and Harley Quinn reunite.*

That was savage

@@rebeccaedwards7270 FR-

why y'all ragging on Harley

@@tink6225 Ikr. They're literally completely different characters. They're both girls who are unhinged, but that's about it.

I know. Still wondering how they did it. Like they put every unattractive trait on Jinx and yet she still stole our hearts.

Pale skinny girls can be pretty attractive sometimes

@@Rinesmyth especially if they are crazy lol

@@Rinesmyth Sure, but her skin is a reflection of the unhealthy living conditions and lack of sunlight in the under-city.

Your standards are too high.

Yea the more diluted pink eyes are hints of powder but if its bright neon pink its jinx

@@iwatchstuffs7933 the blue is powder.

@@tink6225 grey is powder

@@Renkurb right

Like Sméagol and Gollum

I honestly appreciated how her mental health really isn't glamourised at all. It constantly leads her into making terrible choices that make things worse for herself, which perpetuates the cycle of abuse and self-harm into further terrible choices. The 'quirky-crazy' archetype often presents mental health problems as giving a character some special gift or insight that their neurotypical peers lack, but 'Arcane' very much presents Jinx as an extraordinary person whose tragedy is that she is *held back* by her mental health struggles.

Be careful, not psychoticness, she is not. They are flashbacks related with PTSD, trauma and leavement.

I don't think it's necessary or appropriate to make that kind of diagnosis. Jinx in the game isn't depicted as having any magical abilities outside of her extreme adrenaline rush from killing champions; which could perhaps be linked to her shimmer-treatment from Singed, but nothing else. Her abilities are all weapons and gadgets of her own design. That intelligence is what makes her character interesting. Jayce and Victor both comment on the ingenuity of her engineering and Silco's comment that Powder was the better of Vander's progeny than Vi at least partly comes down to her extraordinary mental abilities that cause far more damage than Vi's punching ever could. She is highly intelligent, and in a more equal society would have received the same opportunities as Victor and Jayce that would have allowed her to develop technology that helps people, but instead she grows up in squalor, oppressed, and traumatised by a web of political and abusive cruelties that forever hold her back from being the person she could have become. Her story is so powerful because the mental health problems that hold her back all stem from the very real, political and personal problems that she faced growing up, not because she secretly has some cool magical ability that makes her special. As for the council, Heimerdinger's aversion to magic is fairly well encapsulated by Jayce's outburst over his long lifespan - Heimer is a member of a privileged economic elite and doesn't really care about the poverty and exploitation his city is built on until it is finally rubbed in his face. Until that point he is eager to shore up his position as an economic elite and is terrified of any technology or magic that might be used by the underclasses to take power from him and his peers, hence his desire to stop hextech even if it means more people living in poverty for longer. That's the ulterior motive - a cynical desire for stagnation that keeps him and the rest of his class safe from the anger of the poor who would eat them alive in a heartbeat if they could.

Jinx is basically Harley hardware with Joker software. The whole show have way above the average writing not just for animation but just to shows in general, def worth a watch if you dig complex and nuanced characters.

@@spyro1132 I think he cares it's just he lives so long he doesn't see that people don't live that long and his inaction makes things get worse. The longer he waits the more people in the undercity are pushed down. In my opinion it doesn't make since why there city isn't apart of the upper city. Like why doesn't it look like a waste land while there's looks amazing. They only helped the rich get better and he allowed all this to happen he's been their since the beginning and has done almost nothing.

Yes! Her voice is devine! It’s raspy and perfect!

I appreciate feminine voices with a slight raspy sound to it. It's not what you usually hear, and as a woman myself with an uncommon type of voice (I think it's uncommon, anyway), it's pretty cool.

Her voice cracks all the time. People who scream a lot have this, due to vocal damage. And jinx does look like one who yells a lot

Kind of a Miley Cyrus thing

that cut makes it really funny tho xDD

@@mreduro69 I thought the same thing 😭

Jinx in arc 3 is simply Stealth 100

When Jinx appeared all I could hear is Michael jackson's "Hehe" a second before the neck whack

That jumpscared me not gonna lie

Totally by accident

😂😂😂

That made me worry for her

She is not, And we love it

Ikr she's just simply the best🥺

What about viktor thoughhhhh :(

@@lettheskyfall283 Viktor is great too

Willed Dripfoe as Green Goblin in nwh?

@@lettheskyfall283 viktor is kinda my fave tbh he's just so precious

I mean if you listen to "I'm a helpless little girl who set the building on fire by accident and oh I brought some dynamite" you'd probably at least laugh a little lol

@@alexiagordy5193 TOTALLY BY ACCIDENT

Haha yeah its not like hes the reason shes like that or anything

She's more similar to the Joker but even more dangerous and insane

I like to think she can't explain it infancy words or formulas, but have an instinctual understanding of how to use them. Genius leaps in logic, crazy bold experiments top siders won't dare to do, a lot of dangerous trail and error.

Didnt she use a book with instructions? Its much easier to replicate something than create something completely new.

I was fucking astounded at how much the animators conveyed through facial expressions.

@Marshal Marrs you think you can fix her?💀

@@infrunami505 yeah who said anything 'bout fixing

best facial animations ever

Yes, yes - a thousand times - yes!! So much in that moment! The show is a masterpiece. I hope it gets nominated for something.

They deserve it. Jase and Mel are evil

Totally by accident trust me

You're asking for too much buddy

Then she would be boring

@@lonelybikr She can be her quirky chaotic self in a non-destructive way too. She isn't rooted to harming the world around her, she "just" needs to find a coping mechanism that is healthier. While still letting her be herself.

@@lonelybikr you're boring

@@granolabar8432 Ahh, the classic comeback!

Not only that, she wanted Vi to do it instead, to prove her loyalty. Considering how quickly she whipped out the gun after Vi refused, decapitating Katilyn before the dinner wouldn't have been much of a difference anyway

I mean, Jinx clearly now has some kind of superhuman strength, we saw her carrying around BOTH of vi's gauntlets nonchalantly despite one of them having the antigravity system busted. So clearly she hit her pretty damn hard 💀

@@Dave-cw2mj I didn't even think about that, it makes sense that the magic would make it lighter.

That's payback for the slap in ep 3

Damn Powder holds grudges a long time then

Also just imagine her towing her sister's trough the streets of the undercity and the other people just looking at her like: wtf bro

I was thinking the same thing. XD

​@@adventureswithaurora She says it in a really weird and oddly pleasing way, so hard to describe

@@jimmythegamer2231 Right? 😂

She's like 5'3 lol

Ever thought about vi?

@@granolabar8432 Vi didn’t go through the emotional torture that Jinx had been living through since childhood… and she was already mentally unstable long before she became jinx

@@tusharsrivastava370 vi didn't go through what jinx did, because she went through a completely different trauma all together. She had to grow up way WAY before her age, was thrown the responsibility of taking care of not only her sister but also the whole group, she was like what 7 years old when her parents died which is even worse since that means that she remembers her parents death way clearer than jinx does. She had to go through the death of almost all of her family who was killed _by her own sister_ and yet she managed to not harm her more than she had all while being a 15 year old teenager. Just because her trauma isnt shown on screen doesnt mean that it doesnt exist. You can't compare someone's trauma and say that one has suffered more than the other since everybody processes trauma differently. But that's not what i was talking about in the first place. I was just saying vi is also many people's favorite (ehem,me) and that let's not forget about that here.

@@granolabar8432 you may have your own opinions, but everyone knows that no one has suffered more than Jinx, who got abandoned by her own sister (even though it wasn’t Vi’s fault but the situation made it like that) , had to live her whole life with the guilt of killing her adoptive brothers with their voices in her head telling her to do things… that trauma she has suffered far exceeds anyone in the show.. imagine trying to do something and multiple voices in your head are debating among themselves on what you should think / do and not even your own sister trying to accept you for what you’ve become… cuz Vi never tried to understand her sister… she had a responsibility but failed to do so, whereas Silco understood her and accepted her for what she was

It isn't smoke from bombs, it's blue smoke from the flare her sister gave her. Blue smoke would lead her back to Vi.

I never played LoL but when I realized that Powder became Jinx and that it showed them fighting in the intro I knew that they were probably going to go at it at some point but it made me really happy when they reconnected after all those in years now that they're all grown up. They clearly love each other so much, but after the events of the season finale I know they're definitely gonna fight.

You see it play over silco's face when Jayce gives him the ultimatum to hand over jinx. Really excellent animation there. Everyone brought their A game on this show.

Slæp

They deserve it

*That's...actually rather tame.*

I think it's crazy because she's a murderous child she has a mind of a murderous child the idea of children being scary and creepy scares a lot of people and understandably cuz traditionally children are supposed to be you know innocent. But the thing with jinx is that she has so much trauma that is like she has mind of a child but when you take a consideration that she has all these mental issues that goes unchecked it becomes very dangerous. But yeah she's like a child but that doesn't change the fact that she will have no problem killing you and killing other people. She literally has the mind of a murderous child and it's quite scary for me but even if she's not scary that's not the point the point is she's supposed to be insane and she does it well

Im pretty sure that is meant to be a part of her mania. She is "stuck in her past" for a lack of a better way ofputting it. This is also shown in the hallucinations she has of claggor and milo. She is kind of trapped in that mindset of when she was a kid because she was never given the help she needed to process her severe trauma. Im pretty sure thats why she often acts "like a child" with her drawings and the whole tea party thing. or at least thats what i read anyway.

omg same though!😭

Same

LMAO

Meee !
