Also, I think the scar on fishbones' left eye is supposed to mimic Silco which his left eye. Her minigun is called Pow-Pow, as a reference to her old self as Powder, and Fishbones as Silco, as Silco coincidentally liked Sea Monsters as was in his old workshop and with how when we hear Fishbones' lines in game, they come off as more fatherly and reasonable, like a father figure. She is holding on to those things that are precious to her, as memories of who she has lost when she became Jinx.

Fishbones looks like it may be missing one eye, and Silco himself loved with undersea monsters as seen in his underwater lair back in Act 1. Also I love the consistency with how Hextech works so far: The Fishbones rocket uses the Hextech Gemstone in exactly the same way the Hexgates use it. Both accelerate objects to extremely high speeds.

you can tell she worked on it for a very long time. You can see her concept art of Fishbones' design during her mental breakdown scene in Act 1. And recently in the client archives, Jinx was already on the process of making Fishbones, who she considers her only friend. Silco knew about this bec he saw how much effort she put into it and told her to take care of herself and Fishbones. The Hextech gemstone is the only component left to maximize Fishbones' power. To Jinx, Fishbones is her Tibbers which is one of the important things she carries around.

Because now that Silco is gone, there is no real leader to step into place like Silco did when Vander "died", hence Zaun is likely heading towards darker, more chaotic times. Also all the symbolism and lyrical narration during the last scene is just perfect.

When the music of "what could have been" begins Jinx says "I thought maybe you could love me like you used to. Even though I'm different" there is also a line in the song that goes "why don't you love who I am?" All the lines in the song correlate to Jinx's feelings.

Finally, it is built on a broken ventilation fan - something that could do immense good for the people below, but never will because nobody has both the will and the know-how to fix it. That also makes it the opposite of Ekko's home in literally every aspect.

It feels sort of awkward but I think that's what they tried to do with that scene. Also no one seems to comment on how Ekko showed the watch to Jinx. This was a game they played as kids frequently as it seems. It involved some sort of timer for him to get to her without getting shot. That's why she laughed at the watch.

What is she now

I just realized something about dinner-scene. My theory is that the reason why Jinx chooses not to kill Caitlyn is because she knows Cait means a lot to Vi and she did not want to be the one responsible for Vi losing someone close to her again (like Mylo, Claggor and Vander.) That is partly why she asks Vi to get rid of Caitlyn herself, on top of Vi choosing Jinx over Caitlyn.

@gcircle

My interpretation is kinda different. She was asking Vi to kill Caitlyn out of hope that Vi could still prove to unconditionally love her. And when Silco dies, she resigns to both her and Vi being too different now to reconcile, making killing Caitlyn pointless.

If you read Urgot's bio it says he was sent to Pilltover to hunt someone from Noxus who challenged the ruling party. Even though this was Madam Medarda's son she did say whoever killed her son would not stop till their entire family was dead. So even though in his bio his mission doesn't go as planned I think its likely we may see or atleast get a refence to Urgot in Season 2 Also while this is a weak connection Fiddlesticks tends to hunt in areas of great fear and paranoia. I do believe before moving to Demacia due to the mage rebellion, his prior hunting ground could've been Piltover/Zaun because of the high tension between the two cities and both fearing the outcomes of war. This would explain why the crows are seen in areas on Zaun where we see no other natural life

Will riot make shows of all these plots.

The "reunion" scene in Silco's office made his charcter way better to me. In my interpretation, he had no idea what was really happening there and was just giving a power speech about loyalty and shit. When Sevika cuts Fin, you can see that Silco actually lost his shit and was truly surprised, but quickly recomposed himself and acted like he knew all along. The same way he was enduring the pain of breathing the poisoned air just to indimidate the Barons, you can see he was being afected by the air because he took a breath with the mask before handing it to Fin and Sevika quickly ventilates the room after Silco made his scene, if he was "imune" to the heavy air, they could just leave it there, since every one else was already masked.

@@Douglarce02 This. It's in Sevika's interest to save Silco, because once Silco's dead, they (Finn or other Chembarons that will take Silco's chair) can easily dispose of Sevika because she has no loyalty -(e.g. killing Silco). It's also noteworthy that while Jinx and Silco had a strong father-daughter dynamic, Sevika also treated Silco as a father figure. I'm not sure about Sevika taking over Silco's position, because it wouldn't create enough tension in Zaun for the other stories to occur. Sevika's role was to be a right hand man for whoever was in power, and it would be nice to keep it that way. Although her augment is on her left hand, it fits the theme nicely of her being the "right hand" of a chembaron. I'm not opposed to Sevika being the leader though, and I would support Renni's takeover.

Another detail related to Viktor, and Jinx. Viktor after his first interaction with the cube. In ever scene, Viktor had used his cane under his right arm, because that's the leg that was the weakest. After his leg changes, he starts using the cane under his left arm. I took this to mean that after the change, in comparison to his new transformed leg, his other leg felt extremely weak and frail in comparison. And Jinx with all the crow symbolism, is that crows are also a symbol of bad omens, or bad luck. Meaning, whenever we see a crow, it means that the situation has been 'jinxed'. But also the 'monster' flashes weren't meant to represent Powder's family. Each time Vi had mentioned a name, one of those monsters covered up the name. When she mentioned Clagger, it showed him before flashing the red monster. It's why the red monster looks like it's wearing goggles on its head.

I love this! Good spot

A piece from Swain's lore: "After securing the western borders, Swain’s own reputation was secured in Shurima, where his forces raised countless noxtoraa above the desert sands". The flashback scene where we see young Mel and Ambessa looks like shurima. If we consider that this quote from Swain's lore actually takes place at the same time as Mel's flashback, he would only take power over Noxus many years later according to his lore. This is where my theory kicks in: the man who killed Mel's brother could be Swain. Imagine that Ambessa and her son were supporting Darkwill's reign, and when Swain took the power over, Mel's brother got executed. This would actually be a brilliant hook for season 2 because Mel's flashback with her mom is all about teaching her how to let no bloodline live because it could rebel against you in the future, meaning that if Swain actually is the man who crossed her brother, he would be coming after Ambessa and Mel next. This would explain why Ambessa showed up with a whole fleet of soldiers just to visit her daughter, because she is on a run. And also would explain her sudden interest and rush to influence Piltover on making hextech weapons. She knows that Mel would never give her any weapons for her own sake, why would she convince an opposing region to make military defenses? Only if it would mean to defend herself from the inevitable Swain invasion.

I think he just rush the video out fast cuz there are alot of content he has to cover. Anyway, we got his back.

I also love how Victor was sitting in Heimerdingers spot where he said he only contemplates the death of friends. Now Victor in his place doing just that. That scene really was one of the best in the series.

Jinx's character design is the best ive seen on decades. Though she looks psychotic, her eyes are drawn in such a way that it ignites piety, and it also shows that behind all those madness, theres still Powder. Even Ekko fell for it.

The Ekko vs Jinx scene somehow hints the fact that later, Ekko will literally be able to turn back time, fixing his mistakes in literally "seconds". Like, come on, he literally pull the clock out, fail, break the clock, turn back, try something different from what he failed, and succeed.

There was one thing I noticed, and thats when Jinx is having her final melt down, vanders image gets drawn over with a very wolf like apperance.

As a note, earlier Jayce had said that they can't make a deal for peace with Silco if he goes away after. So even before Jinx fires the rocket, that vote they are making wouldn't do much now that Silco is dead.

One of my favorite scenes from act III was defnitely when Viktor was diffusing jinx's bomb and you saw he was hesitating to cut the wire. In my opinion he did this not because he wasn't sure if this would diffuse the bomb, but rather because he was thinking about just letting the bomb go off. He realised that he didn't have long to live anymore because of his disease and he wasn't sure yet if he would accept the help from Singed. And he also was against Jayce weaponizing hextech. So he thought about just letting the bomb go off, killing them both so that hextech could not be used for war, and thus preventing their dream to fall to shatters.

8:40 The drawings on the insects' wings matches the face of the monkey, just... cut out to the parts that would fit on the wings themselves. These are more than likely Jinx's, and they've been following Vi just like how Jinx was stalking them from afar. - Part of why Jinx was hoping Vi would leave the scene could be so that she wouldn't explode from the fireflies.

One thing I went back and am surprised you didn’t mention was with the fight with jynx and ekko. After the flash back of them playing the game, when they jump back to real time the fight only takes about 4 seconds from when he would have gotten to the start of the fight. Personally (as a die hard ekko main) I think this is a beautiful way to reference his ultimate without him having the z-drive or chrono break yet.

If you look closely at the scene where Silco was talking to Vander's statue, you can see Jinx's hair on the back. Its a bit easy to miss but it's there. The damn details in this series is astounding.

13:29 I can't be the only one thinking of Zac and Rammus also in 19:52, the original quote was much more impactful than what you summarized here. "In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good." The whole time, they thought their invention of the hextech would help improve lives and it symbolizes what they stand for: progress. Sadly, it was also what led to power and destruction, costing the lives of those they thought would benefit from it. They progressed greatly, but they failed morally.

I hope the man hunting the Medarda's are Swain and/or Darius. Mel's mother seems to have a lot of pride in their family legacy. More so than loyalty to Noxus. And when Swain took over the Medardas picked the wrong side or were considered by Swain and Darius to not have the best interest of Noxus at heart.

It’s got to be urgot right. Urgot goes in and gets captured by Voss

that yellow glow from Mel at the end is very solari. i thought at first it was just a way to focus on her since her back is right to the glass, but the fact her dress when she was young was very solari inspired, and now this, i cant help but think theres more to it

One you missed. Vi never calls Caitlyn, Caitlyn. She calls her Cupcake. When Jinx makes Cait a snack and reveals the covered food platter, the snack is a Cupcake.

25:00 In reference to the Council Archives, Jinx tries very hard to disconnect with Powder, and we can absolutely see it in the show as well. The blue little monster is more likely Powder, who Jinx had to cut away and "kill", simply because of how much guilt and pain being Powder brought.

I love how you can see the rocket open up and prime so that it can do more damage just like how in game it does more damage the longer it travels

Before Jinx fires Fishbones a violet tear flows down her cheek. The same thing happens to Silco the first time Jinx injected him with shimmer in episode 4

One thing that I found fasinating, is that when the rocket is about to hit, we can see that Mel actually has an under the clothes armor, for me something very noxian like thing, meaning that even thou she takes the ring off as a simbolic gesture, she is still trained as a noxian

Silco is probably my favorite character. He isn't really a villain there's also no hero it's all morally grey He was a good dad though. He gave up his dreams for jinx. He finally understood Vander. "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter"

Okay, so while the series definitely does an excellent job at presenting us very layered and morally complex characters, and Silco is a prime example of this. I also simply can't understand why people seem to suddenly think he isn't a villain. While he certainly has the capacity of a nurturing father, abuse still comes in many forms than just the immediate physical side. All throughout, Silco feeds into Jinx/Powder's dangerous impulses by painting this picture in her head that everyone is against her; in the process, neglecting her mental heath and sanity for the sake of progressing his ideology and agenda. I can still get behind the fact that he would not have given her up (because there was a genuine love there and Silco has some humanity), but theirs was still a toxic relationship as he enables "Jinx" and mostly ignores the ramifications. Let's also not forget that Silco is still very much responsible for other fucked up shit in the Undercity. Do we say the dude burning down an orphanage isn't a "bad guy" cause he cries while doing so? Hell no.

@@justinviloria5257 exactly silco is litteraly a druglord thriving off of people becoming addicted to shimmer and then ruining there lives. Has killed thousands and thousands of people to the point where he is so desensitised he couldnt care less about that kid dying, not to mention those kids were more then likely experimented on for those shimmer suits. he didnt take care of poweder he weaponised a desprate and alone girl to keep the under city in check. And on top of all that hes the one that killed gozmo and vernon and set up the whole traumitising vi ekko and powder. Like yeah he fathered jynx becuase they were both fucked over and alone. But he is litteraly the reason poweder had no one, there was no garuntee vernon and his kids would have escaped, sure powder essentially was the reason they died but there deaths in genral were inevitable. Silco manipulated jynx with vi vernon milo and claggers deaths, knowing he killed vernon and that he was trying to kill milo and clagger and fucking knew vi was alive and kept it all from poweder so she would stay his insane killing machine, and rushed her to creat a hextec death weapon instead of helping her with her clear mental instability due to Vi's return. Silco is a horrible human being, the scene where he saves her still feels motivated by her getting that gemstone from ekko the animaters mad a clear scene of him becoming very focused on the crystal instead of his precious dying daughter befor leaving . He was by no means a good father or morally grey. He was actually super fkn evil

@@peba-moanatemoapunguika7866 well I can see the points your making, I would say he was the best father he was capable of being, you gotta remember he was broken aswell. In the first scene he has with Powder we see Silco be more focused on acting nice and just trying to find Vi, but when she clings to him and he looks to Vander's corpse we see humanity in him, he realises that she has faced the same problems he had. In general we see Silco come to realise why Vander stopped fighting, in the end we see it all come down to how the show started in a way, Silco was basically the head of the undercity and when put into the same position Vander was at the start we see him struggle the exact same way. Like you said Jynx is completely unstable but he knew that the past is what it would take to break her, which is why when he learns that Vi is back he does everything he can to kill her, because he knows deep down if Jynx is forced to choose between him and Vi that he is going to be cast aside, obviously Caitlyn throws a wrench into the decision and it's seen in the ending where he pleads to Jynx and makes her try to focus on the 'fact' that she was replaced. It's seen throughout most of the show and is implied that Silco knows that she is unstable but is still in enough control, which is why he always tried to cut off the past to her, we see this in river where Vander tried to drown him, how that Silco tried to paint Vander differently to how he knew him not how Powder knew him, but when it came to Vi he always said she was dead because their bond was too strong, he also most likely knew who Ecko was but also knew that he believed Powder was dead. In the end I think we can both agree that this show is a complete masterpiece in the complexity of the characters and story it tells, but generally I see the whole plot as being circle as Powder was left abandoned not once but twice and both times someone has come to comfort her, that being Vander (plus Vi, as we see her cling to her more than him) and Silco

Swain might actually use both crows and ravens. As per the wiki page it is stated in a Q&A that "Swain is aware of most major threats around Runeterra thanks to his crows, but has decided to deal with them later over more intermediate ones. " this would suggest that he uses crows for recon. His old ultimate and current passive's names are RAVENous flock, which would suggest that ravens are present although honestly thats a bit of stretch. However, Beatrice his personal pet is confirmed to be a raven. In some of his recent art you can see that the shape of the head and beak for some resemble crows, and others ravens. I believe that he uses crows for intel gathering and ravens for combat; this would actually line up logically aswell since crows are smaller and easier to miss while ravens are larger and more imposing making them more suited for combat.

I think that the scene where Jinx removed the cloche at the dinner table may have been a reference to Batman: Death of the Family she reveals that she wasn't hiding anything disturbing/bloody under it and says that she's "not THAT crazy", hinting at the fact that she's not as far gone as the Joker (yet, anyways)

The monster hallucinations in the end were Vander, Milo and Claggor. They were seen just the shot before. I also noticed that the monster reprecenting Vander looked a lot like Warwick.

8:41- No, it's not unclear. Silco had been saying the whole time that Jinx was going to handle things, and when he says that he always means fulfilling his ambitions for Zaun by bringing about war. Specifically in this instance by ending the blockade, because a blockade can't exist if all the guards are dead.

The 3 demons that jinx imagines towards the end of the last episode are not his parents and vi, but they are mylo claggor and vander, vander's demon also looks like a wolf 25:00

Also, when Vi charges to attack we can hear the sound of her ultimate. And whle it's a shame there was no "Here comes Vi" (I personally was expecting some kind of instrumental version) she does flip table on her enemy in fight with Sevika, yay!

I can see Sevika being the next champion. They showcased some of her abilities and I think she would make a cool new bruiser/juggernaut. And she didn’t die. Adds up.

the next 2 champs in line were pulled from Arcane during development and will be releasing early 2022, the roadmap says they didnt fit in with the "event" which is 100% Arcane. It cannot be Mel or Sevika. They definitely still could be champs a year from now when Arcane is finally done.

I think the Old Regime Mel's mom was talking about was just the government of some state that they invaded. I'm not sure Swain has come into power yet or is the Medardas' enemy, cause it makes more sense for it to be Urgot imo. Urgot being the Grand Headsman has a lot of resources as was mentioned by Ambessa (Mel's mom according to the credits), and would absolutely be the kind of guy to execute some spineless politician for going against the ideals of Noxus. Plus we know Urgot was sent to Piltover and Zaun to weed out a conspiracy against Darkwill, so if the Medardas are actually in support of Swain, this all makes perfect sense, and sets up Urgot's character arc for season 2 and beyond.
