Hello everyone! Thought it was about time I shared the S.02 crumbs I found in Bridging the Rift back when I analyzed it last year. Now that we know Arcane Season 2 is coming soon, thought a bit of spoil won't kill anyone!
In the intro I wanted to make a point about Season 2 being well advenced in production when BTR was filmed cause when I started posting a few analysis last year some people on twt called me delusional when I said S.02 was already in production during the documentary lmao (now we laughing.)
I'll be posting this analysis as a thread also, so you'll find back all the screenshots & better quality on twitter if you want to save them and zoom in to see more clearly! Link : / darksidejinx .
✦꙰ Here's some edits and precisions :
✦ Regarding the Jinx frame it can't be the final scene of Season 1: her clothes aren't exactly the same, and there seems to be a belt around her body or something that is tiying Fishbones to her (like she used to have with PowPow). Her position is also different, and the green energy also shows she'll be using hexteck (the green chemical we saw in the mega-death rocket) to power her shots. If end scene of Act 1, the colour of the shot would have been blue.
✦ Regarding Ekko rewinding time, the person in front of him isn't him : it's not the continuation of his echo. Not only are the clothes different, but when you look at the legs, you can see that the skin is white.
✦ Regarding the Firelight mural what I mean by ''isn't the same'' it's that it's not the EXACT same, so either it's because the wallpaper used by the man was the original painting made for the scene, or perhaps it could be a scene from the Timelapse. Eve (the firelight girl Jinx killed on the cargo, and that is being painted on the wall in the scene where Ekko shows the mural to Vi) is missing, but also the little faces on the left side look a bit different from the ones of the original scene so I don't know, I thought it could be a lead for an unreleased scene and that it would be interesting to share it!
✦ Regarding the Ekko frame from Season 2, I know it looks a lot like the scene in the Firelight's hideout, but that is only because of the colours. If you couldn't catch it in the video go check up all his scenes where he's in the Firelight's hideout, you'll see that the only time he has his face down is when he's looking at the gemstone and in the scene where he tells Vi Powder's gone. Go check up episode 7, starting 11minutes 56 seconds. The camera angle matches but not the focus, nor the colour of the background. The part where he looks at the gemstone too (look at episode 7 starting 21minute 42, but the frame I'm thinking about is exactly 22 minute 08) doesn't match neither, even if the background does look the same (and most probably is, since I believe this S.02 scene to be taking place in the hideout) so I thought it was from this scene with Vi and Caitlyn, but the camera focus or side of his face doesn't match any moment of that scene, and his face traits and his expression are also different. The part I'm showing is zoomed in on him, doesn't have Vi in the frame, and has a different background than the ones where he's looking sad like that. Also, if you look closely, you'll see that his scarf is more open on the neck : [04:49] (also when I say the ''camera angle doesn't match either'' at this moment of the video I maint the camera focus, sorry english not my native language I do mistakes)
✦ Regarding the puppet dolls, I think they must be made by a new character. Someone that is undeniably spying on the whole thing in the background, and have been following Jinx for quite some time, as (s)he seem to know quite a lot about her life... (little hidden spoil abt that in the video~)
Stay updated for more analysis and livestreams, because if you think you knew everything about Arcane you couldn't be more wrong~ I've found out interesting stuff hidden in the show that would tease or spoil Season 2 quite a bit and I can't wait to share them with you guys!
See ya~
