Yeah, even at the end of the season, Caitlyn is still a bit naive. She's certainly learned a lot though

2023-12-21 14:19:53 +0000 UTCI think Ekko and Caitlyn share the same strength, that can also be a weakness: They are willing to trust strangers (Caitlyn probably more so than Ekko) and firmly believe in the good in everyone. And above it all Ekko has this long history with Powder/Jinx. ๐ค

2023-12-21 07:02:09 +0000 UTCMan, Silco shows us that you don't have to have an imposing physique to be menacing ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ He's showing Finn that even without the muscles Finn and his goons have, that he's still tougher than him! That fight between Ekko and Jinx is both so hype and so heartbreaking ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ We also see, that, as much as Jinx has improved her fighting skills, she still doesn't hold a candle to most upper-level fighters in this world! Ekko's hesitation that allows that final moment to happen breaks my heart every time ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

2023-09-09 18:45:44 +0000 UTCOh, yeah, nearly forgot - my first thoughts on this one (I apologize in advance for the length): - As if this show isn't briliant enough, no, let's throw in two completely different styles of animation and create another masterpiece. Together with the lyrics you learn everything there is to know about the firelights in a minute and the flashback to Jinx' and Ekkos childhood game is just heartbreaking! ๐๐ญ - The perspective through the burlap makes you really feel the fear and confusion Caitlyn and Vi are experiencing. - Ekko looks awesome. The hour glass symbol on his face! His theme seems to be time. ๐ฎ๐ค - Vi gives the greatest hugs! You see how Ekko's shell cracks the more they talk like they did all those years ago. His doubts about Vi are gone in an instant and his eyes soften. Just like after the attack when Benzo and Grayson died, he immidiately feels consoled and secure. - Judging by the look on the man-bats face when he took Vis burlap of, he still feels every single one of Vi's punches from their fight before. And we learn that man-bat, who is obviously Ekkos right hand man, has a newborn child. I never thought a creature with such spiky teeth could be this cute. ๐ - Victor is entering very dark territory, I'm worried about him. He's frustrated and desperate, because Jayce is caught up in his own problems and time is running out for him. So he decides to make himself the guinea pig for his experiments. I think he hopes to cure his leg by melting it somehow with the hex core. From his point of view: What has he to loose at this point? - Jayce feels so much pressure from all sides. Victor wants him to help him, the Council waits for his decisions (being the new leader after kicking Heimerdinger out), the blockade he ordered lets the tension rise close to the boiling point and Mel tries to push him to build weapons. He is in way over his head and begins to realize it. - Interesting choice of words from Jayce: "They are dangerous!". It reminds me of young Marcus ("You people are all the same!"), Caitlyn ("In what mad world would I trust someone like you?") or Vi ("You enforcers are all the same!"). Marcus never overcame his prejudices, while Vi and Caitlyn are learning to do it and Jayce has Victor to set his head straight. - Jinx' bomb, presented by Marcus as evidence for the firelights envolvement, has Ekkos hour glass symbols all over it, painted on by Jinx, to make it more convincing. - Now you know why Jinx was working on the mechanical butterflies since the fourth episode. ๐จ๐ญ You can still see them in her lab when she staples her leg. They probably fly into the light like real firelights and explode. - The mural is my new favourite shot of all episodes so far.๐๐ - You recognized the pink haired girl from the ship! ๐๐ - The girl spraying pink haired girl's portrait is the one with the bird mask from the fight in episode six, the one who kicked Caitlyns lights out and took her and the gemstone. - It speaks volumes that Powder is the only person up there of whom Ekko knows she is still alive. He has been around and saw Powder transform to Jinx. I imagine he even tried to get her on his side more than once, but she preferred to stay with Silco. Ekko tries to seperate Jinx and Powder, but you can't do that, they are two sides of the same medal. He gets a hint that Powder still is somewhere in there, when she accepts his challenge with their old childhood game. That's why he couldn't kill her in the end, he saw Powder giving up, not Jinx. It seems, despite his words to Vi he still had a tiny spark of hope that Powder isn't gone for good. ๐ - About the chem barons: The beautiful plant in the background, blooming in radiant colors when Silco and Sevika entered the meeting, was dead when they left. A strong hint how heavily polluted the air was he set free. - I wonder what Mel meant with "It's to soon, Jayce isn't ready." It sounded like she was worried that Piltover looks weak to other (and probably hostile) nations and that's why she pushes Jayce so hard to build hextech weapons. And she got a letter from home - maybe her family noticed Piltovers weakness to? ๐ค - In more peaceful times I would side with Viktor's pacifist views, but unfortunately Jinx is very close to build an Arcane version of a nuclear bomb, all she needs is to get the gemstone back. I think it is important to at least think about building hextech weapons. For all they know, they have no idea where the gemstone is and there is an accomplished bomb builder somewhere in the undercity. - Caitlyn offeres herself up for someone who became very important to her in a short time. She didn't deserve to be mocked by Vi ("My Hero!"), but then again you can see Vi means it in a "I like you for it" way. Caitlyns speech hit Ekkos heart (and mine) and especially Vis (look at her eyes widen), probably everyones. This cements her being my number one character in this show.๐ (Though Vi and Ekko come in close.) If Vi was attracted to her before, now she is hooked. I think it is still to soon to talk about love, but now there is not only attraction, but also deep respect and outright admiration. - The picture Jayce is looking at is a drawing from his childhood days, it shows him as some kind of superhero with a huge hammer. We're going to see him with his hammer from the opening credits!๐๐๐จ - Vis and Caitlyns goodbye at the bridge was so heartbreaking. And Vi herself confirmed what was hinted since they first met: "It was real, cupcake!" Even when she hugged Ekko she only had eyes for Caitlyn. She looked so sad and dejected, head and shoulders hanging, when she slowly walkes away from her. No trace of her usual energy. She gives up something possibly good to do the right thing. All the while Jinx high up on the bridge fights with her jealousy and Mylos shadow grows and grows. ๐ - When Vi hears a shot she instantly runs back, screaming: "Caitlyn!"๐ And Mylos shadow grows even more, until it threatens to swallow Jinx.๐ฑ - Marcus did what he always does, trying to get out of his situation by making one bad decision after another. Then he realized that it was easier to kill some guy from the much hated undercity (Ekko), than it was to kill a young woman he knew since she was a teenager and he saw growing up to become an enforcer (Caitlyn). His hesitation and Jinx' bombs saved Caitlyns life. - Unfortunately Caitlyns naivety came back and kicked her in the butt. Even after Ekko told her, she couldn't imagine that the sheriff himself is corrupt. Her picture of a sheriff was that of Grayson, a honorable and good person. - I could write a dissertation about the fight between Ekko and Jinx, but don't worry, I won't. Let's just say it was brilliant in every possible way. ๐๐ - You are absolutely right Haylo, when Jinx crosses the bridge, she hums the song she sang when she went on the bridge with Vi, looking for their parents in the first episode. "Dear friend, across the river..." Only now it is her carnage. ๐ญ๐ญ - Kiss, the person crawling on the ground that Jinx shot so uncaring, was an enforcer who had survived the explosion. - And how it fuels her rage, when she sees Vi and Caitlyn, how her mind turned Caitlyns face into a devilish grimace...๐ฟ๐ - This is the first time Vi actually walkes away from Powder. She carries a wounded Caitlyn and her sister just shot at them, I think she realizes only now how drastically Powder has changed and doesn't know what to make of it. ๐ - When Jinx shoots at them, Caitlyn tries to throw herself over Vi, while Vi at the same time pushes them both out of the line of fire. It all happened so fast, even after several repeats of the scene. Caitlyn throws herself in the line of fire to protect the people she cares about and Vi doing the same by pushing them away. ๐ - Jinx little butterfly bomb ripped Marcus' arm right off. I wonder if we will ever know what happens to his daughter Ren now. Another orphan, as if there weren't already enough. ๐ญ - I'm sure Ekko and Jinx survived her grenade. You could see Ekko jump aside at the last moment and we saw during his duel with Jinx how fast he is. And we learned in the fourth episode, that Jinx' grenades need about five seconds until they explode. He is probably injured, but shurely not as severe as Jinx. ๐จ

2023-09-06 07:09:48 +0000 UTCWhat a great reaction! And to keep that from us for so long! ๐๐ Kiss, your face at the reveal of Ekko and at the beginning of the fight between him and Jinx was so adorable. Like a child under the christmas tree...๐ And Haylo, I totally shared your joy about Kiss' reaction to it all. ๐ As for favorites: My top three episodes are 3, 7 and 9. The third one for me was the one where I decided I watch a unique masterpiece and fell in love in the show. See, the first two episodes are for build-up and they're great and entertaining, but everyone thinks by the end of the second they have figured out how the story will go from here. But then comes the third episode and smashes all expectations and predictions to dust and the rollercoaster goes full speed, gettin' faster, more intense, more thrilling, more emotional right into the finale. ๐คฉ And as you undoubtedly figured out a long time ago, my second favorite character, my 1b, is Ekko. ๐

2023-09-06 04:05:25 +0000 UTCI agree, that scene was the one. Episode 7 is my favorite, in large part due to the whole bridge scene. The flashback is one of the few times we see Powder really happy. That's when the tears start flowing. I know it's a bit different than what you've been doing, but you really need to react to the Enemy music video when you're done. It's all new scenes that aren't in the series.
