I’ve seen people bash Vi much more than Powder but it’s very true that both their reactions are justified - whereas Powder was concerned with Vi hating her (due to her attachment and abandonment issues and wanting to be useful to not be abandoned), VI’s anger issues caused her to slap her sister. Though tbh a slap, considering the giant mistake Powder just made, seems smaller in comparison.

Vi's own pillar, her mentor, her adopted father, was gone, with her friends. she was broken, she could not support Powder through this. this seeming betrayal and abandonment, added to Powder's already mental frailness, gave birth to Jinx. what a sad origin story :(

My main point was showing to some people there are two sides to every coin. A lot of people tend to see Arcane as good vs bad but the story is more complicated than that. Everyone seems to support Vi because she's the "good" one. Yet they fail to see Vi's mistakes and instead put all the blame in a child. Even as an adult Jinx is mentally unstable. In a war I'd kill her first for being dangerous but I wouldn't turn her onto the personification of greater evil simply because crazy people are neither good nor bad. They're crazy and crazy doesn't care for good or bad. Vi claims to be morally superior yet she fails to do so in many ways. This clash is seen again and again with Jayce, Victor etc.

This is what I wanted to say. I cannot look at grown up jinx the same. Knowing where she came from. I just feel so bad everytime I see her in games.

This scene has so many details, and i havent seen anyone talk about them yet, but i think they are worth a discussion, first lets talk about Powder's reaction, I love it. She's so child like its amazing, the way she just pleads for forgiveness and breaks down in tears repeating the same sentences that are purely emotional, is just so spot on to how a child her age would react to something this overwhelming, then vi hits her, pay attention to Powder's facial expressions, she closes her eyes multiple times from fear as vi grabs her cheeks and the expressions are so godlike, then Powder bleeds from the strike from Vi down to her bandaged palm, vi takes a look at it, realizing that's her sister's blood, looks at her bloodied knuckles and she's probably reminded of Vander's speech to her about violence only creating more problems, instead of solving them, after that realization Vi gets up to cool off and as she does Powder crawls up, lifting her arms infront of her because she wasnt sure what Vi was gonna do and was scared she might hit her, and as Vi walks away Powder calls her by her full name, thats all basically, i just thought it was worth a mention.

Powders crying was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The way she sobs and tries to turn the focus on Vi leaving her is so realistic, they did an amazing job with animation and of course the voice acting too

Writing children and teens in media is a very hit or miss. Most of it's usually bad. Here in Arcane, I never had that disconnect. The dialogue and the writing is fantastic. The fight in the first episode was brutal, awkward, messy, and uncomfortable. As it is when kids are fighting. Powder's breakdowns earlier in the episode and here was so authentic to seeing a kid breaking down. It reminded me of some bad mental break downs I had when I was a kid. It honestly felt like it was coming from someone's personal experience. Especially with how messy and uncomfortable it felt.

I think the thing about voice acting is you gotta put at least a little of yourself in the character you're playing. I'm guessing Mia had breakdowns like this as a young child and was picturing herself as that age and she feels like it's happening. During the production of Charlotte's Web (1973) Pamlyn Ferdin really cried while recording the scene where Fern tried to talk her father out of killing Wilbur. Carroll Spinney (Big Bird and Oscar) got emotional easily. The first Sesame Street feature film involved a scene where Big Bird was kidnapped by circus brothers and painted blue. He was supposed to entertain the audience but instead sang a sad song about how homesick he is. According to IMDB, Mr. Spinney broke down after recording the song.

I think what really helps is that the Arcane team was doing the show themselves and had 6 or so years to make it, whereas a majority of media run by big studios are probably rushed. The Arcane team apparently had more time to work on their thing and it must not have been until they were closer to finished before having a set deadline. I think independent projects are more likely to be made better because they have more control than projects done by big studios.

Holy shit

Powders uncontrollable whine at 1:55 is what really sold the trauma here for me. All the episodes are amazing in every way, but the animation and voice acting really captures the ugliness of trauma there. It’s not pretty, or aesthetic, or still looking beautiful while gently crying for the sake of being cinematic. It’s gritty, it’s snot running down your face, its begging whoever is around you to stay with you so that you aren’t alone with what’s just happened because you feel like the most fragile thing in the world and your mind physically cannot handle the amount of emotional damage being inflicted. It’s completely sobbing until you can’t breathe, the whites of your eyes turn red and tremors wrack your voice and body. It’s literally your brain racing to make sense of trauma before an overload causes you to destroy yourself. Genuinely never *ever* been so impressed with animation and voice acting as I have been with Arcane.

I've read a comment, don't Remember where, about this scene that really stuck with me, about the difference between western and eastern animation. In animes, "ugly crying" as this would have been called, is usually reserved for comic relief moments, while the type of crying used for serious and emotional scene is one where tears rush silently down a stoic and impassive face. Here, instead, we have a full blown manic/panic episode, with screaming and snot and with the face twisting in desperation.

I don't know what is more incredible the voice acting or the animation with the human facial expressions and their body laguage ..

This moment hits a lot harder once you realize that there is no reconciliation arc after this. My expectation going into this was that the show would go for the classic "families get broken but come back together in the end." trope that leaves everyone with a warm fuzzy feeling inside. But after watching the finale, this moment is retrospectively much darker. This isn't some bump in the road in the sisters' relationship. THIS IS THE END OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP. They tease at the possibility of reconciliation all throughout the season, but after what she did in the finale Powder can't come back at this point. Maybe you could argue that she was being controlled by Silco when she killed all those enforcers, but Silco was already dead when she fired that missile at the council meeting. That was her decision. You can't classify her as a pawn or a victim anymore, Jinx is a mass murderer. She's a full-on villain now. But having seen their origin as fleshed out as we did, we know that she REALLY WAS a sweet, innocent child at some point. The way her trauma and sense of abandonment whittles down her sanity and finally breaks her feels completely real. I've literally never seen a villain that I had so much sympathy for in ANY MEDIUM. The fact that this character, which was essentially created as a Harley Quinn knockoff is so well developed that she can murder innocent people and you still feel an emotional connection to her is such a testament to the strength of the writing. Riot chose to do the uncompromising thing at the risk of pissing off fans and they executed it with unequivocal perfection. This isn't the best "video game adaptation" to come out. This isn't "surprisingly good for a show based off League of Legends" This is the best animated series of all time. 10/10 Please expand Arcane to seven different shows I will watch them all.

This scene was just so overwhelming. The voice acting and the keen attention to detail in the animation fleshing out Powder's breakdown - the tearful choking, trembling and stuttering - was just so heartbreaking. To me, the thing that makes this scene so painful is the fact that I cant bring myself to blame anyone in particular for this tragedy. It was understandable that Powder wanted to help. It was understandable that Vi reacted the way she did. The whole sequence of events from the first botched job to this nightmare was just BAD LUCK, which in turn is the inevitable result of a LACK OF OPTIONS. Something the poor are more familiar with than the rest.

The Lore connection to the movie is absolutely fantastic. Warwick was born here. A monster with "blurry memories", as he says. Read Warwick's story and biography, its absolutely splendid.

You jinx!" and jinx is trying to deep down reject the idea that she did kill them. (which, she did indirectly; but I don't blame her for what she did.) jinx copes with this fact by thinking she actually helped (and I agree she did). I'm not too sure on how to explain it, but it's some sort of coping mechanism and jinx's greatest fear is that she actually killed her adoptive family; directly or indirectly.

I think it remind us of a horrible experience that most of us have got through in life and we don't want to talk or to remember because of how painful it is

It honestly hits so hard because it is relatable. I remember breaking down like that when I was a kid. My dad kicked out his wife (my step mother) multiple times over the course of several years because of some misguided rage. They always got back together later on. I hated my step mother, but her daughter (my older step sister) was everything to me and I remember crying like Powder every single time that I thought I would never see her again. I was around the same age, too. This scene haunts me.

It's when you know you've irreversibly ruined something that meant a lot to your family. Only in this case much more extreme.

I can't recall a time when a animated show has shocked me this much. This whole episode was so brutal and Powder being so much like an actual child made this so much harder to watch. People have already been pointing it out but her crying was escepially well animated and voice acted, it just felt so real. I think It's always been a huge pet peeve of mine when in shows (well usually animated ones) the characters don't properly react to death and other stuff that might shock them, especially when the characters are actually suppose to cry. But this show just handled the emotions so well it was rly refreshing to see. Definitely one of the best animated shows I've seen.

The voice acting legit made me tear up so good props to both of them emotional trauma in voice acting can be hard to effectively portray as good as this.

She only wanted to help... That's the truly sad part of it all. A good intention ended killing the only family she ever had and worse made her own sister so furious that she called her a Jinx, slapped her and and abandoned her. It's a all just so heartbreaking that you don't know where to start.

Damn, the voice acting in this from Powder's VA was so damn good. She captured not only that uncontrollable crying of a child who's so upset they're hysterical, but also that of a child who only knows what she sees in front of her, and that's her sister walking away from her. The way she cries for her to come back is a child who really believes she's being left behind. She knows she made a huge mistake that got the rest of her adoptive family killed, Vi didn't just get angry with her but struck her both with her hand and with calling her the same thing Mylo always did, a jinx, after so many times telling her it's fine, we all have bad days--then Vi's response to Powder pleading with her was to walk away. She needed that space of course, for how upset she was, but a child as young as Powder wouldn't necessarily understand that, all she would get from that is, "I need you to still stay with me even though you're so mad at me, please don't hate me," and Vi doesn't do that here, not at first, not until she sees Powder is about to be in trouble. So, as far as Powder knows, Vi is leaving her for good and all she can do is beg her not to. And when she immediately doesn't come back, she loses hope...and then Silco comes across her.

The look of realization as she looks at the goggles, followed by her panicked cries is just... wow. Doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I get chills and teary eyed.

the voice actress for Powder apparently did this in a single take and i think she was like 10 or 11 at the time as well

the animation, the acting, the music, augh! its all perfect. nothing takes you out of the moment (at least for me haha)

I'm in awe at the animation. The way the little details are shown in the animation, specifically with Powder's expression from 0:23 - 0:30, going from innocent excitement to confusion to horror is so powerful. The animation team really outdid themselves with Arcane and I hope they continue this level of quality for however long it goes. The way the voice acting compliments the animation is perfect. Good job Riot.

At 1:30 when Vi was getting up to leave, you can see powder hiding her face because she was scared vi might hit her again.....damn... extremely heartbreaking yet amazing attention to the detail.

This whole scene and how Jinx was crying felt so realistic. I remember reading the lore a few years ago and seeing this is right now is so amazing

At this very moment a legend is born and her name is jinx, and with her chaos and havoc follows

it broke my heart.... i wanted to hug her so bad at that moment :'(

Thank you. Neither of them are truly at fault. They are just kids trying so survive in a harsh environment.

1:28 she curls up in defence as she thinks vi is going to hit her again only to realize she's walking away.

Easily some of, if not the best child voice acting I've ever heard. Add that to the amazing realistic emotional faces with fluid animation, powerful.

Another couple things I've noticed in watching this scene again: it mirrors the scene we got at the beginning with Vander adopting Vi and Powder, surrounded by fire and death. Here too, Powder isn't looking at her dead parents, or the man in front of her. She only has eyes for Vi. And this scene too, she registers the deaths and fire around her, but ultimately is clocked on Vi. In crisis, she looks to Vi. The other thing is "Mylo was right". This line gets overlooked but is the PRIMARY reason we see so much of Mylo in the later scenes where we listen to Jinx's inner voices. She doesn't hear the kind voices of Vi, she hears Mylo. The LAST THING Violet said was "Mylo was right. . For YEARS that's the last thing she heard Vi say, and so the last thing she remembers from the person she loves most is that person telling her everything she was supposed to be blocking out from Mylo, she should have actually listened to because it was right.

0:19 The microexpressions on vi's face are just unbelievable, omfg Arcane might be the best animated project i've ever seen 11/10 Season 2 can't come soon enough

0:47 this part it felt like a real child who really wanted to help you can really hear it in her voice that she really wanted to help
