I remember a comment that sums up Jinx at the final of Act 3. "Powder's final act was to protect her sister. Jinx's first act was to avenge Silco."

Jinx is my absolute favorite character in the series. And it honestly sucks people compare her too often to Harley quinn. Also if anyone wants to be more depressed, in the final episode on the mug jinx made for silco, you can barely make out the word "dad".

There's a blink and you'll miss it moment right after Jinx drops the platter on the dinner table. Vi goes "W-What did you do?" and for a split second, Jinx looks hurt, but she quickly masks that with glee. She's hurt that Vi would think she'd do such a thing; that she's *that* crazy.

"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." I think this proverb applies to Jinx, both in the context of her feeling abandoned by everyone, and her being (shaped by Silco into) the embodiment of Zaun itself, abandoned and shunned by Piltover.

Jinx’s intelligence needs more recognition. She figured out tech that Jace and Viktor (trained scientists and geniuses) were working on with NO formal education.

One of the things that I noticed from the start, but nobody's talked about, is how when Vi calls out people for Jinx to remember, and goes to "remember dad? Mom?" nobody shows up. With every other name, the picture of the person shows up, but nobody shows up when her parents are mentioned, and I think that's because Jinx was so young when their parents died, she doesn't remember who they were.

Another great detail: Jinx makes her own hallucinations reality. She hallucinates Vi shooting her and replacing her with Caitlyn (1:16), so what does she do at the dinner? She doesn't just ask Vi to choose, she hands her a gun and asks her to shoot Caitlyn and replace her with Powder, the opposite of the hallucination. If you look closely it's even the exact same gun (13:25).

I like the sound design, after Silco dies and before Jinx sits in her chair. Goes from loud noises to quiet - almost as the voices finally stop and she can accept who she is. It is a relief for her. I think, starting the nuke is one of the few choices, she takes with a clear mind and with a full understanding of what consequences will follow. Like war, losing her sister, losing her child self, losing any redemption path for herself.

What I personally loved about the ending of "The Monster You Created" is that after Silco's death, Jinx is no longer sad, or angry, or anxious. She's tired. Tired of the loss, of the pain, of this self fulfilling prophecy where she believes she destroys everything she loves, and so she wants to get rid of her attatchments. For a moment the voices that torment her are silent. The look on her eyes is weary. Right as she's about to shoot, she hears words of love from the man that saved her, and she lets out a single blue tear. The last bit of Powder that remained in her.

12:47 there is a lot more to this question. She's not just offering her sister to (impossibly) bring forth her nine-year-old self. Remember in episode 8 when Vi speaks to Caitlyn about the game she played with Powder when they were children - about conjuring scarier and scarier monsters, then having to chase them away when they get too scary? That's what Jinx sees Caitlyn as. She is Vi's most scary monster, the one that can tear her whole world apart, and she's asking her to make the scary monster go away. Not "kill her for me"... she asks her to "make her go away. Please?". The monster Vi created. Heartbreaking enough yet?

One thing that never crossed my mind until now: Shimmer is this strong super serum that can mutate you and give you almost super powers, yes, but it's also a very powerful drug. Jinx was tripping balls during that tea party exchange

I love that someone finally brought up that Vi, unintentionally, was traumatizing Jinx by bringing up their old group whereas Silco is trying to get her out if it. I've watched numerous reactions & haven't seen anyone bring it up.

Another thing about the tea party I noticed on one of my rewatches, Jinx takes a step back to put the gun right infront of Silco. I think this shows that Jinx still trusted Silco to have her back if it came down to it. Unfortunetly, Silco went for the gun in the middle of her panic attack leading to another instance of friendly fire.

In my opinion the council were the biggest villains in this show, there is a straight line from every decision they've made to that rocket going into the window. Sure, at the 11th hour they decide to give peace a chance but it's clearly far too late for that. They had literal centuries to acknowledge the divisions in their society but fell back on authoritarian control every time and it's only when the possibility of Zaun becoming a legitimate threat appears that they consider giving some concessions not for the benefit of the people they've been exploiting for two hundred years but just to ensure their continued security.

Jinx is a physical manifestation of the fear Silco wanted to create. Just her presence is enough to terrify most people ("Oh, no. She's here"). She even moves like a horror villain, impossibly quick and quiet.

There's also a small detail about her gun "Fishbones" it's not only the fishes Silco had, its also silco himself, if u watch closely the gun has a "bad eye" too.

There is a state of mind where you see yourself as a monster, and I think for Jinx that happens after killing Silco. The other deaths she has caused of loved ones, she has tried to explain away and to redeem herself in some ways. But after killing the last person that actually trusted her she has given up. And the song plays and the lyric states "I'm the monster you created". She has given up any chance of redemption, she ses herself as a monster. And the monster destroys. So she goes to burn the world down. Many years ago I had a psykosis, and I did bad things. During and after, my self-image was that of a monster. No hope, and the world might as well burn. I see that reflected very much in Jinx in the last scene. There is always a way back, always room for redemption. I know that now.. But it may take years to work that monster away.

Haha now I see what you meant by "wait till you see the shirt I made" when I asked about the nails. The production values of these videos are just getting higher and higher. I dropped my work (I was writing a lesson plan for tomorrow) when the notification came lol. A lil' break won't hurt anyone. Great as always!

My problem with Vi and Jinx's relationship is that it is not an older sister younger sister relationship, it is a forced mother/ child relationship (Vander, I am blaming you for this one). They both have the expectation of a mother and child relationship but Vi was just not ready for the task due to her age and her personality. Jinx expect too much from Vi and Vi is doomed to failure. I found some scenes to be interesting as well, when Silco calls Jinx "Child" she doesn't take it personally, because she knows that she is his child. But when Vi talks to her, Jinx responded with "stop talking to me like I'm a child". It's like she has sibling-like completion with Vi but expectation of a child (acceptance and unconditional love and fulltime support). Their whole dynamic is really off.

The voice actress who played Jinx really nailed that scene where she's being injected with the Shimmer. The screaming was just, torturous. The part where Silco has come full circle and realized he's in the same position as Vander when it comes to protecting his "kid" was an interesting development. I think he realizes that Vander wasn't as weak as he thought. Jinx toying with Vi with the head on a platter was disturbing but at the same time, I gotta admit, I laughed. That she even acknowledged her mental state by saying she's not "that" crazy was interesting. It makes me wonder if she has more or less embraced her mental state. Even at the end, though Jinx killed him, Silco still loved her in his own way. He's an evil man but he did have that one redeeming quality. There's been some speculation that Jinx jinxed the peace deal when she "nukes" the Council but that deal died with Silco who wasn't going to turn in Jinx anyways. That the Council was voting to give the Undercity its independence was sort of meaningless though they didn't know that. Also, your cosplay is well done. The shirt that has Jinx's tattoos was a nice touch.

My beautiful Jinx. It's very heartbreaking to watch her in the final scene. The world is screaming all around her and she ends a life to save another. I cry when Silco tells her that she's perfect: the last words of a loved one. Jinx's reaction after his death is so human: she feels immense sorrow and guilt and then feels absolutely nothing. You can see her face change from crying to completely stoic. That's the shield we put up when the pain is far too much to comprehend in the moment. And when a loved one passes unexpectedly, we carry on the will and dreams of that person to honor them. Jinx carried out the plan because it's the last thing she could possibly to do feel any sort of redemption. Thank you for all the videos, Georgia! Looking forward to the next ones.

I always thought the minigun was a perfect choice for Jinx's character and the shooting Silco scene shows why. It's imprecise but unrelenting, so if there's a problem just point it in the problem's direction and keep firing till the problem goes away. Jinx was having such a breakdown she didn't even realize she was shooting one of them, she just realized one of them was in danger of being shot and her adrenaline/muscle memory took over on how to solve that problem. It's only after the problem is gone and she takes a breath that she realizes she just made the choice of Vi over Silco, ironically because Silco was willing to kill for her but Vi wasn't (Caitlyn).

The most important effect of Silco's final words is how it finally freed Jinx from her constant need for affirmation from others. Even in the tea party, she was still giving the 'choice' of who she should be to someone else, namely Vi. And before that, all her actions, even seemingly independent actions, were always in the context of "this is what Vi/Silco wants". Her taking away that choice and sitting on the Jinx chair of her own volition is her first truly independent act and she has finally become her own person. I assume this also means Mylo and the other "bad voices" will no longer appear to her either.

I never thought about the fact that she made her weapon (Fishbones) to resemble Silco's fish monsters... That just blew my mind

From the View point of someone who experiences Sensory overload a lot, it's likely that Jinx whirled around to respond to the noise of the gun firing, not realizing where it came from until too late.

Also one thing I noticed is Jinx response to calling her Powder is to double tap Jinx with her gun. She's basically responding to it non-verbally but it comes off a lot like she's saying "Jinx. My name is Jinx."

I both love and hate the Tea Party scene for various reasons but im just gonna bring up one of them. It all starts with Jinx telling Vi that, if she shoots Caitlin, she'll get Powder back. The problem is, even if Vi did it AND got Powder back, that's not right. The decision of who Jinx/Powder is does not belong to Vi. Jinx is so focused on getting approval from those she loves that she is willing to give them the choice. She willingly give it to Vi. "You choose who and/or what you want me to be." Next, we move to Silco's unfortunate death. He tells Jinx "Dont cry, you're perfect" My issue with this is that, by saying it, he is unintentionally telling her that Jinx is perfect and she doesnt need to change. After his death, she fully commits to being Jinx. Long story short: Jinx gave the choice to Vi when she shouldn't have (Only Jinx should get to choose who she decides to be) and Silco unintentionally took that choice and chose for her. I might be overthinking it but that's something that's on my mind every time i see that scene. A million thanks if you actually read thru all that!!!

I think you underestimate Caitlyn a little here. She hesitated to shoot because she really does not want to kill in general and she doesn't want to kill Vi's sister. While Jinx played at giving up, you will notice that Caitlyn narrowed her eyes, she didn't buy Jinx's act for a moment. What catches Caitlyn off guard is the fact that Jinx is moving at super human speed. sm

I think it's also very telling how the dolls Jinx makes of Mylo and Claggor are sized according to the magnitude of their voices in her psyche, not to their relative sizes. I would also note that Jinx's morality system seems to value honesty, loyalty, and personal connections. If you don't have any of those for her than she doesn't even conceive of you as human. Remember how she laughed off the deaths of six enforcers? Not even human in her eyes. So, seeing her sister hanging out with an enforcer? As far as Jinx is concerned, Vi is cavorting with demons. You can even see this in how often Jinx's visual hallucinations put devil's horns on Caitlyn. Recall also how Vi told Caitlyn about the imaginary monster game she'd play with Powder as little kids? "I'd make the monsters go away." And what did Jinx say to Vi when she put the gun in her hands and asked her to kill Caitlyn? "Make her go away..." (This last one was a detail I didn't even notice myself, someone else pointed it out to me. There's so much detail in the characterization and visual design in this show that you could spend months picking at it and still miss things.)

The hospital scene with Jinx was the most uncomfortable and chilling I felt other than the final scene with everyone at the table. Just seeing her struggle and be in physical and equal emotional anguish is so hard after all the time we spent getting to know her character. I think it becomes even more sad when you realize that these hallucinations are Jinx's fears and insecurities in its rawest form. A lot of people including me think that shimmer functions to bring out the fears, insecurites, and perceptions that someone feels of themselves. Vander becoming wolfish and brutal is a symbol of his identity being tied to "Hound of the Underground" and not being able to move on from his misdeeds. He feels guilt, even saying it to Silco, that he regrets being violent and attempting to kill him. So it's very appropriate then that Vander's Shimmer form made him into the hound he used to be as gang member, doggish noises included . After seeing the hospital scene, I definitely believe the theory even more. Jinx feels like an unwanted person. She feels insecure about being replaced. Thus she hallucinates those fears becoming reality. It's so neat to see the thought put into the mechanics of shimmer and how it works in Arcane. How it heavily relies on the mind of a person.

In creative writing there's this general guideline that "ideas are cheap, execution is everything." Jinx began as just an idea, an unpredictable maverick of mayhem with no thoughts aside from violence. Not a good portrayal of trauma. This is where Arcane takes Jinx above and beyond the crazy-chicc aesthetic of Harley Quinn and other characters. They go beyond the idea and execute on it.

"Don't cry, you're perfect." I am not crying... I am NOT crying! *crying my heart out*

Caitlyn also has her feelings for Vi mixed up in everything. She does not want to kill Vi's sister. Vi even says no, no no...she's my sister. That hesitation gives Jinx another advantage. Caitlyn even turns her head slightly towards Vi and is begging her not to kill her sister.

Poor Jinx. She wanted to have Vi prove her love to her, but ended up driving her away. It’s so sad to see how she tries to shrug it off when Vi thinks she killed Caitlyn. She spent so much time trying to become someone who would prove to Vi that she wasn’t a jinx, only to realize how mortified Vi would be by who she is now. She feels like a monster. Then, Silco alleviates this pain by telling her she’s perfect even after she kills him. Still, she feels like a monster for killing him.

a small detail i noticed when i watched arcane was that there was a specific violin in the soundtrack that would only play in certain moments of jinx's scenes. riot did amazing with the entire soundtrack and music overall, so i knew it wasn't just a coincidence. from what i remember, the scenes in which it is played is when powder has her panic attack in the basement of the last drop in episode 3, when the monkey bomb explodes and she is pushed off the window at the end of episode 3, when jinx is revealed in the beginning of episode 4 and she sees the pink-haired firelight and loses control, in the beginning of episode 7 after jinx goes back to her workshop and staples her leg, at the end of episode 7 after jinx watches vi run back to caitlyn after marcus shoots ekko, and probably so many more scenes that i couldn't remember off of the top of my head. the specific way the violin is played is only played in certain moments of jinx's scenes, and i thought it really added to her character in a subtle but awesome way. as someone who loves music and relates music to feelings, the violin really captured my attention and was able to really show the sounds of her mind: chaotic but beautiful

I like the idea that the platter was a test. A test of how much of a monster Vi fears Jinx had become... A test that Vi fails, reinforcing Silco's assertion that Vi will turn against Jinx for no longer being Powder.

The moment Jinx overhearing Silco is in contrast to the one early in the show when she overheard Vi and Milo, about being twice the person at half her age. They she took it without rally feeling betrayed by Vi, sure she was hurt, but she didn't escalated it there, while with Silco and her hurt state she interprets that in worst way possible.

I love, love, LOOOVE how you cosplay as the characters you analyze, and you do it SO WELL!

As someone with cptsd from childhood trauma and genetic predisposition to anxiety both powder and jinx feel so real! her breakdowns as a child and her psychosis as jinx are both so well written it feels like an absolute loss of control. you scare yourself but you can’t stop because your body is in its most primal state of fear and aggression, her facial expression changing after Silcos death is exactly what it feels like when that switch turns off and you’re faced with what youve done, numbness and defeat. Jinx will forever be one of my all time favorite characters

That final confrontation All I could think was ‘Whatever happens… jinx is going to lose. Cause it NEVER ends well when two people you love are blinded by their hate for each-other.”

You also need to consider that when Jinx sees Caitlin with the needle, it's her manifested fear being overlaid on top of something that is actually happening to her at the same time.

When you were speaking about the amount of shimmer put into Jinx - how it clouded her perception & mentally changes her - I like your take on the moments that followed. If I may - My take : was that the drug augmented everything about her Jinx personae - physically - her speed, her agility and to a point ; it SEEMED like Jinx was in complete control (I mean, think about it - how much effort & speed did she need to kidnap everybody & set up this whole tea party scenario ? - She recovered from an unethical medical procedure just hours before! ) Her demonic delusions seemed to have enhanced as well as soon as Vi addressed Powder - they came at her like a wave until the rage in her snapped her back & lashed out. Such a great scene, too - awesome show, with soo many layers to it! - Its been months since this show came out & I love how people are still finding interesting things going on within the story that were missed - SOO deep! ❤

I'm really interested to see what they do with Jinx and her auditory and visual hallucinations going forward. Specifically I'm interested to see whether Silco becomes another voice and manifestation in her mind. I'm really hoping he does, simply because I loved his character and really want there to be some way he could still be a presence in Season 2!

Jinx really follows Sun Tzu's advice: 1. Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate. Sun Tzu 2. Let your plans be dark and IMPENETRABLE as night, and when you move, fall like a THUNDERBOLT.

The table scene's just so sad and impactful but amazingly orchestrated at the same time that there are tons of things you'll miss in a first watch, loved the breakdown there. One of the details I've noticed after countless re-watchs, really hard to spot, is that Silco was not actually aiming at Vi herself, he didn't want to hurt her, he just wanted her to stop. In my opinion, Arcane shows this three ways: first when the camera closes up on Silco's gun, and it's shown that he actually shot, and Vi was still fine. Then, if you pay really close attention to the shoot scene (or watch it at 0.25x like I did lol) you'll literally see the shot landing right beside her head in her chair. Finally, if you look at Silco when he shots, you can see that it was a rational decision, he doesn't immediately shot, he thinks before he does it. You put this all together and consider Silco was less than 10 meter away from Vi and he is a battle hardened shooter, the conclusion is that Silco not only could, he would have killed her if he wanted to. And so, even though he wanted nothing more than for her to disappear, he still spared her, because he wouldn't be able to bear having Jinx hate him like that.

I think you might be wrong about Jinx viewing Vi as an enemy when she says "here's to the new us". It seems to me more like a way for her to realize that there is no going back to being Powder. The foreshadowing when she puts the grenade on the bartender Thieram makes me think that she didn't try to just blow up the council. It makes him afraid to hear the ticking of it, but when it goes off it just releases smoke. Also, she only released the explosive Firelights after Vi was put in danger. It just all makes me think that she might be giving back the gemstone, because she believed so much that Silco was going to give her up to achieve his goal, and it would be a way to stick it to him had he lived.

After watching that last scene many times, I don't think Silco ever intended to actually shoot Vi. Shoot in her direction to shut her up, sure. Up to this point he's never really done any of the dirty work himself anyway (besides Vander). I think he might have just been trying to stop Vi from terrorizing his daughter right in front of him. He shot first, the smoking bullet hole is just right next to Vi so it's plausible. It wouldn't have made sense for him to shoot Vi just to get Jinx back to her senses. Despite his frustrations I don't think he underestimated the importance Vi still held in Jinx's life. It might just be my interpretation of the scene, but I think it just makes it even more sad.

Sting sings that final song. So powerful. Man.

Yes! You came up with a different take than I've seen. To be fair, even I was confused about Silko's talk with Vander. "And what would I lose but problems?!" - to me it sounded like he was considering Jinx a problem that he could now turn over if he wanted. I'm still not sure what we as the audience were supposed to hear lol. I've also heard of the dinner table setup with the platter being a test for Vi that proves to Jinx that Vi really does see her as "that heartless" and tells her all she needs to know.

Also, the monster thing, The whole game they played was making scarier and scarier monsters till Vi had to chase them away... Vi's the one who's bringing the scary monsters this time, and not the one scaring them away.

Terrific analysis Georgia! As Vander said: “Those kids look up to you…whatever happens, it’s on you”. Caitlyn factored largely in this episode, physically and symbolically. Jinx abducted her when she was most vulnerable: naked with her back turned. Though Caitlyn’s head wasn’t under the cloche, it WAS a cupcake (Vi’s pet name for her) topped by the hextech gem of destruction. When bullets started flying, Jinx had her gun of choice, where as Caitlyn had a disadvantage, since she’s a rifleman which is sooooo different from a mini gun. When Vi cried out to stop them, BOTH immediately ceased because Vi has that much influence in both their lives. Jinx’s journey is so heart wrenching due to the complexity of her trauma, situation, the augmented information she’s teased out. She’s accidentally lead to the deaths of her family, including her adoptive father, so now she’s unmoored, in free fall with her choices and pain - embracing the woman that is Jinx. Thanks for such a deep dive! I’m looking forward to more insights!

3:21 me when I was 7 and hated that I was getting a new little brother because I was the youngest and I knew once he came I will no longer have moms attention (which was true the attention went all to him) and I hated him for it, but now that I’m older I love him to death he’s the sweetest little thing and he’s been through so much so all I wanna do is protect him.

"I thought maybe you could love me like you used to...even though I'm... different." This line gets me every time I hear it. That fear of changing too much that your friends and family won't recognize you anymore, the realization that you HAVE changed so much and don't know if they'll ever accept you again. Not knowing what to do about it.

I was soooo looking forward to this video and omg, best cosplay, the attention to the details is amazing! As always I find it so full of empathy for the character and for the people living similar situations as her. Also, the way you noticed the weapon being a fish because of Silco's connection to them is awesome, I just knew she had that weapon because of the game but I bet in the animation team they did wanna make the connection between both things, so thanks for noticing it.

Powder/Jinx ingenuity and talent for gadgets was something that Vi recognised and Silco exploited. She could see that Powder felt insecure and trapped in her sister's shadow, so she encouraged her to make her own way ('I've got these, you've got those') and not let anything stop her when she doubts herself ('we all've had bad days, but we learn...and we stick together). I think that it already worked to some extent (remember she was still just a kid), you could (briefly) see her and Ekko working on a new explosive, her aim was superb (in the arcade) and Vi herself stated in episode 8 (I thought Powder could get obsessed). She always had the potential and I simply can't stand people saying that it was Silco who gave her that strength. The only thing he did was traumatise her, isolate her and make her dependent on him and him alone, distrusting everybody else. She even admits this during the tea party to Vi ('your (Vi's) voice pushing me, picking me up, when all the colours were black'). But when it comes to Silco all she says is ('....all his rants, excise your doubts Jinx.... be what they fear Jinx'). It was a strength and potential she herself developed, Vi recognised and encouraged and Silco exploited (honestly believing that it was the best thing for her, and people say Jinx suffers from delusions). People say he never lied to Jinx because he believes his delusions, but I have a small issue with that. During the 'baptism' scene where he tells her she needs to let Powder (and her attachments and grief for the loss of anyone other than Silco die) he twists her memories of both Vi and Vander, stating that they were not the people you thought they were.... that their betrayal can shape her into something stronger. The next episode however he brags to Vi that the price of 'your second rate family' was Jinx all along, and she now belongs to him, that he freed her from her love and need for for Vi. When Silco gets confronted by Jinx for keeping Vi's return from her, he grasps for the first lie he can think off and says Vi only came back for the gemstone, stoking Jinx's mistrust. Yet neither he nor Vi mentions the gemstone, Vi simply says that she'll free Jinx from his fucked up delusions. Later during the tea party, he realises that Vi is more important to Jinx than him (notice how he is gagged, Vi isn't) and he grasps for a new lie when he realises that his old one didn't work (that's how I know he is grasping, he quickly shifts tactics when he realises the previous one isn't working, refusing to accept Jinx loves Vi more). Now he brings up her old trauma of Jinx and Vi's separation, something he both directly and indirectly caused. When you are an amoral sociopath who moulds his 'daughter' into the fighter and genius inventor he wishes he himself was (notice how he doesn't have any talent except his tongue, sadly a very dangerous weapon when it comes to Jinx), it comes easy to lie. What's your take on this? Some Silco fans might say I'm biased (partly true, I cheer for a Vi and Jinx reunion and denouneciation of Silco more than anything in Arcane) and those fans point out to his love for Jinx being a redeeming quality. However, even this he corrupts because of my earlier explanation. He never owns up to his role in her trauma and places it all on Vi, the one person who threatens his relationship with Jinx. By stoking her mistrust and feeding her lies he further crumbles her already fragile mind. Not my idea of a parent. Vander took Vi and Powder in recognising his role in their (first) trauma and wanting to own up to it. Silco took Jinx in refusing to recognise his role in her trauma, instead feeding it (not sadistically though) and turning her into the fighter he himself could never be. It makes me sad when you imagine the potential of Vi, Jinx and Ekko together against people like Silco, Sevika and the chem barons who destroyed their home. Instead, because of Silco and his lies, manipulations and exploitations of the girl he traumatised it seems they will forever be divided. That's why I was sad at the end. Not because Silco died (good riddance), but because the toxic worldview he installed in Powder fully made her conclude that she has done too much, Vi can never love her enough (and only bring her pain when she tries) and the only man who could love her is now dead by her own hands. I truly hope that Vi will be able to somehow work with Jinx to overcome their shared trauma (Vi's is overlooked by most of the fandom) and be able to meet in the middle: Jinx will be able to regain her sanity, still be a badass fighter but use her skills to help her family (Vi most of all) against people like Silco. Most of all, I want her to reconnect with Vi and fully trust and love Vi again, with Silco toxic lies (and Sevika's) about Vi forever gone from Jinx's mind.

I liked how the table and seats for Powder and Jinx were set up. Especially in that moment when Jinx asks Vi where she should sit. After saying that we see the chairs, which is Powder’s chair, close to the table and seeming closed off, and then we see Jinx’s chair, open and apart from the table… kind of like more welcoming towards Jinx. Mainly because that’s who she really is. It kind of shows that even if she wants to sit in the Powder chair, she won’t be able to do so. Basically representing that she can’t go back to being Powder and that she is a different person now.

FINALLY!! a react for Act 3!

9:15 can we talk about the lighter/cigar symbolism that's been around for a while throughout arcane? I noticed that the lighter symbolizes loyalty (Finn turning on and off representing the underground's loyalty/respect towards Silco waning and his attempt to wane Sevika's too) and cigar representing authority (just rewatch Silco dealing with Marcus, cutting off the cigar's head and then smoking, clearly asserting superiority, the group enforcers teasing Caitlyn and her being the only one not smoking, showing that she's the only one without *social* power in this group, excluded, Vander and his pipe, it being dropped in a drink when he failed to stand up to the enforcers when everyone expected him to, symbolizing him failing to represent the underground as an authority figure) And here, we have Jinx using the lighter to shed *light* on her sister, to find the *truth* about Vi's loyalty towards her, a test to weigh it out against Silco's, perhaps the candles symbolizing the paths that truths about where loyalties lie would lead I don't think I'm reading too much into it, there are too many repetitions for it to be a coincidence, and it's been months and I'm still in awe of the depth and amount of thought given to each and every detail, at this point and I'm more than convinced that arcane is THE masterpiece animation

Do you think you could do a psychological analysis of both Vi and Jinx's tattoos on their body, i'm interested on what you think about that. I'm loving your channel ❤

I love this character and your spot on analysis of her and every other character in this show.

Could you please analyze Mel Medarda and Jayce's relationship? The way she manipulates him (as I believe she does with other characters) or if she really likes him, what you really think of their relationship

So I'm going to counter the ending scene where she launches the missile at the council. When he says you're perfect, in that moment where he's dying because of her, she accidentally shoots him and she comes too, she doesn't choose Jinx because she can't deal with Vi not loving her because of what she's done, it's the fact that in that final moment he chose to love her regardless of her screw up, regardless of the fact that someone's dying, especially him, due to her mistake. He showed that no matter what, he loved who she is, even when she screwed up and then in her mind she plays back to the moment that the same thing happened with Vander, and Vi was angry, VI hurt her when she was at her lowest point and screwed up, so in her mind that was the final choice of who loved her more and why. Her brain has been so erratic that this sudden change of mentality of "He must be the one that truly loves me" isn't that hard to accept in my opinion because he's been accepting her all along and she knows that and she feels that, and so when she kills him and he says "You're perfect," he shows that final act of love. she decides that, that's where she's at because she knows Vi is never going to call her Jinx. VI is never going to love who she is or everything she's done but Silco does. She then does, in a final act of a like father daughter moment, she enacts the only thing that could potentially make their family or their lives whole which would have been to destroy Piltover, or at least the people representing, it because that is what the next step logically to her would have been had Silco and her been together and him not giving her up. So yeah that's my thought on that one.

It's good that you point out that Jynx shot the missile because she wanted to continue Silco's cause. Before that, I only thought that she did it only for herself. She knows that a war between Piltover and Zaun is going to happen if she doesn't turn herself over to the council. But she's also not the type to commit suicide for the greater good not to mention that it's also hard for her to trust the council is not gonna lie to her.

i've loved jinx ever since she was first released in league, and with arcane it made me love her even more i never had a character that i could relate this much too and as always thank you for this amazing video you look so cute in it!

Not even gonna lie loving the hair 😭

Whoo just dropped everything!!😂🔥 LOVE the hair!😱❤ 3:13 "That allows us to still love the person that we don't want to lose." Woah, that's an amazing way of putting it💭.

Even after watching these scenes for several times, seeing reactions to it, watching your analysis, etc... I still get teary and want to cry. I love Arcane so much for how it touches the feelings

Awesome analysis! That whole ending scene was done so, so well. I can’t wait to see how season 2 is going to play out, especially how Jinx is going to be in the wake of her decision.

I think too at 7:31, I feel like when she says “nothing ever stays dead” was also about how instead of dying (on the bridge) like how she planned to, she was brought back. (At least that’s what I think) but 🤷🏻‍♀️

ive been waiting! im still waiting for your final arcane video! i will re-watch it with a whole new meaning. love your videos!!

Thx for the video with so much more details I don't see also after a second time of watching the show! And realy nice hair cosplay, ilove it so much!!!

I watched this several times, but it never gets old. Thanks for creating this series about Arcane, explaining everything on a deeper level

Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this! I think you did a beautiful job wrapping up jinx. I have a weird affinity for jinx so I love these videos. Also I have yet to not cry at the end of the tea party scene. Her losing everything at the end just does it for me.

It's funny and just amazing to realise that we all started watching Arcane because it's an adaptation of one of the biggest yet games with a very notorious playerbase. But what we receive is one of the most mind-blowing and just hearthwrenching shows I've ever seen. Fact that there are so many characters within who deal with real problems people face in our real lives. It just makes me not be ashamed to have my own demons. The representation of people who have to go through all these traumatic experiences, people who aren't necessarily black&white bad, but just want what's best for their loved ones. Months after watching the series, and I'm still living and thinking about it everyday because of the emotional impact it has made on me. Definitely my favourite show of all times♥️

I never thought about the shimmer inside Jinx at this point, that is a very good point and I am glad you bring it up, as it changes my perspective of the last Act and Jinx.

How Wonderful! Thank you so much for making these videos. I finished Arcane 2 days ago in rapid succession and these videos are helping me process it, which I've never had to specifically do with a piece of media. Usually it just goes away and becomes a fond viewing memory.

I always loved your vids. By the way, thanks for Act 3!

Ive been waiting anxiously for this and you did not disappoint. Stellar analysis (and ofc amazing outfit) ❤️

this is so cool i love seeing your cosplays get better!! im also so happy that your continuing with arcane i feel like there will always be more to unpack with this show

Go Georgia! , the episode has arrived and is as great as ever and a golden end for the trio of the jinx series, keep up the is awesome work Georgia! PD: the completion of the cosplay is (*Chef's kiss*) 10/10 Super Great!

I never realized how many parralels there are about people being a threat to your relationship with someone you love. Jinx is Vi's threat to her relationship with Caitlyn. Silco is hers for Jinx. Vi is Silco's threat to his relationship with Jinx. Caitlyn is jinx's for Vi. Heimerdinger is Jayce's threat for his relationship with Viktor (through not preventing his death)

Getting out of a very shitty day at work and seeing this pop up as a notification... A great end to a terrible day! Thank you, Georgia! (Even though I will have to wait with watching it)

great videos, keep up the excellent work and I really dig the cosplays that go with the psychological breakdown!!

Yes! The video I was waiting for a long time!

Never clicked so fast on a video. Love your videos ^^

I've been waiting for Act 3!! I absolutely love your analyses ❤️

Beautiful séries, thank you for making me understand the depth of these characters better

i sooo love what you do here! also really love that you costume for these xx

The tee party was a test for Vi. Jinx has schowed too Vi all of what she had become. She wanted to tell her "that's me, will you akcept me?"

One detail about Powder and Jinx is her clothes. Look at Powder's clothes in Episodes 1-3. She is dressed in blue; however, look at the color of her undergarments (edit: let me rephrase that for the immature, look at her layer of clothes under her blue garments). Just another great example of the excellent work these storytellers and animators did for this series.

Thank you for making this Georgia. ♥ I know I asked on like... the last 6 of your uploads for this, and you 10000% delivered.

Im so glad i saw this. I commented on the video 4 months ago or so, wishing youd react to this final episode and include the silco death scenes and such. It really helps that everything ive tried to tell people about the silco and jinx relationship is mirrored by an actual therapist (i have a degree in criminal forensics and psychology, but im no an actual therapist or psychologist). I can just show people these videos when discussing this with them lol

When Jinx basically tells Vi to shoot Caitlyn to "have Powder back", it was pretty clear from that alone that Powder was long gone.

I clicked this so fast- love your videos :)

Oh my goodness your voice is so relaxing! I've binged all three of these, as herself as a character is very interesting and seems to have a lot of depth

Thank you for these videos.

Awesome! I loved Encanto but glad we're wrapping up Arcane. Excited for the analysis of the best mad scientist, Singed! You make me see the characters from some new angles and I love that

I think it’s interesting that LoL Jinx’s tattoo isn’t just the blue clouds of the bomb that killed Vander and created ‘Jinx’ but also includes bullets. As in, the hail of bullets that killed Silco and cemented her as Jinx. I think her tattoo is something of a memorial to the events and people that shaped her. Speaking of LoL Jinx, I’d love to see a video of you giving game Jinx a look over and your thoughts on how the two might be connected. The cutscenes in the Legend of Runeterra card game in particular, as those show potential reunions with Vi. Great video as always.

Another great video you created. I was looking forward to this one :)

Thanks for the info, your video was awesome. Can't wait for season 2
