Ekko is my favorite character in this show. After Vander, Ekko was the one who did the most to take care of the lanes and make things better for thee under city. Plus, from episode 4 on, he is the embodiment of swag. This episode brings so many new styles (visual and storytelling) to the show that it blew my mind. Thank you for such great reaction videos.
It took about a year before I could usually think about that fight scene without tearing up. I don't know what kind of animation black magic they used to make the look in Jinx's eyes tear through my soul like that. About Mel, one of the most dangerous aspects of an escalation chain isn't just the tit-for-tat aspect of retaliation but how our internal measurement of how far we've escalated shifts over time until we are seriously considering things we couldn'thave imaginedwe'ddo before. Mel and Jayce are going through that now. Looking forward to the next episode.
"really makes you wonder what they were living through" Living in the fissures does not sound pleasant. Being forced to work the mines with atmosphere like the one they were all in is basically slave labour with early death.
