i just think it is sooo interesting that the scene where loki is standing in between mobius and sylvie and then he goes after sylvie is clearly trying to make us think he chose her, but then we get to the actual conversation they have and it is so obvious that he chose mobius.

like idk i just think that scene was so purposeful…

I don't think Jayce and Viktor literally died. They were kind of pulled into another dimension/astral plane/whatever you call it. We see older Viktor, and while it could be another Viktor, I think it would be more meaningful if it was our Viktor, finally free from the arcane, going through the universe with Jayce, fixing timelines together. Kind of like a cosmic mission.

[echo-of-the-eye]

Can’t stop thinking about Viktor and Jon parallels cause I have tma brainrot and anytime I see anything even remotely similar I go “is that a magnus reference?”

Anyways thinking about the differences in the choices they did and did not make and how both of them came back from the dead and were involved in ending the world.

I talked a bit about it before but Jon chooses to come back to life and become a monster. Granted it wasn’t a fair choice but he did choose it. Meanwhile the end of the world was not his choice. As much as he thinks otherwise it was not his fault. He didn’t “accidentally” start the apocalypse, he wasn’t “manipulated into it” he straight up did not end the world. Jonah did. Using Jon. Yes he was manipulated to prepare for the ritual (still not his fault), but actually ending the world? Jonah did that. He straight up took control of his body. Jon was the tool. The key to open the door. Jonah shaped the key and turned it.

Viktor is the opposite. He did not choose to come back to life. In fact he had basically accepted his death and was actively suicidal. Jayce brought him back (and I don’t really blame him for that. He didn’t know the consequences and he was trying to save the man he loved). Viktor did however, almost end the world (and succeeded in some timelines? I’m confused). Now it’s hard to say how much of that was Viktor. He was heavily influenced by the arcane, but Jon was also heavily influenced by the Eye (not that you can really compare them). We don’t know how sentient the arcane is but we can guess that its main goal/instinct is to spread. If it worked through Viktor or if it was simply influenced him, altering his thoughts and feelings to more easily rationalize what he was doing. Either way Viktor would not have done what he did without the arcane. But he did do it. The arcane isn’t a person. You can’t really put all the blame there. And we did see that Viktor was still in there, deep down, enough that he could change his mind. Meaning that to a certain degree, he did choose it. Viktor’s actions were his own, even if they were influenced. He’s the most responsible for what happened. Jayce also carries some responsibility for bringing Viktor back in the first place and creating hextech alongside Viktor, but again, he did not know the consequences of that. Neither did Viktor at first. So how much are they to blame?

I just find it fascinating how such similar events (even if they are still vastly different) happen in two completely different series and how the characters had different levels of agency throughout it.

A thought or two about our current Fandom discussion

*spoilers under the cut*

I have been a Tech lives believer since about an hour after I saw him fall. I also very strongly believe that Tech is CX-2 (I am aware of what Jennifer Corbett said today about CX-2 being a new character, but Tech being presented as CX-2 can be considered as a new character)

I've seen people say they don't want him to be Tech because they don't want to see Tech like that. Totally valid. Not everyone wants to bathe in angst like I do.

But I believe that Tech being CX-2 is going to create the most compelling story and create the most conflict.

I could go on about the reasons, and maybe I will one day. But I want to share the most devastating one that came to me today.

If Tech is CX-2, that means Echo left his brother behind, left for dead, to be tortured and used against their brothers.

Just like he was.

I literally just finished Act 2 but

VIKTOR AND JINX ON THE SAME SCREEN THEY INTERACTED THEY DID IT

"Ask for a miracle healer, get a metal fortune cookie." "*cough* Cookie."

"However, I have one condition."

"Looks like you've got a couple."

"You have much to offer this commune, Powder."

"Your talents can be used to build, instead of destroy."

"I'll... stick with what I know, thanks."

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!!

THAT'S 4 TICKS OFF THE WISHLIST BABY

im already seeing people saying caitlyn isnt overreacting by committing war crimes bc her mom is dead. god is testing me specifically

[herefortheships]

The lack of confirmation of Nobara's status leads me to believe Gege has something planned for her as the end of the Everyone vs Sukuna battle Aka the "Decisive Battle" draws to an end. This situation totally reminds me of the "Enchain" plot thread. It felt for a long stretch of the manga like Gege had even forgotten about the Enchain binding vow.

Except he hadn't.

The hush-hush around Nobara might be due to a similar situation. It might mean that she will be a key player to defeat Sukuna. OR she might be part of the conclusion of the story in a different way like bringing a ray of sunshine and hope to the fandom with just the confirmation of her survival, after Gege breaks our hearts one last time before the manga's end lol.

so we know Vi is dead in the alternate universe, but do you think Jayce is too? not only did his dream never come true, but it led to a kid literally dying in his apartment. He was ready to kill himself over the prospect of never finishing his work in s1 act 1, having the death of a child on his conscience, even if it was a total accident?

I just don't see Jayce trying to defend his work after that, but I can't see him accepting it and moving on, and with no defence for what he was trying to do, Viktor had no reason to seek him out because this is just some guy whose work caused an explosion, not the guy who gives the passionate speech about the champions of discovery.

so yeah... I think Jayce is super dead in the alternate universe, which locked down the 'No Hextech' aspect of that world. And maybe his death and Vi's are what spurs the two cities to try and exist more harmoniously, because now two young people who were so very loved are gone and the root cause comes down to the divide between them.

Idk about y’all but the line of pink leading to the air ducts Caitlyn is later shown looking at plus the airship scene plus the “the end” thing being as if Jinx wrote it leads me to believe she’s alive

How are you doing after watching the Arcane finale?

i need to punch i need to maim i need to scream and cry

[stan-joe]

hey link click fans just to make your day worse I'm pretty sure the entire last few episodes happened on lu guang's birthday

[snufkinsoldshoes]

Why did 2023 have to start so terribly for the animation folk?

First, The Owl House. The entire episode gets leaked by Disney itself. Leaving Dana Terrance (@danaterrace ) helpless. This is the second time s3 was sabotaged.

Second, Inside Job gets canceled. Just after new episodes dropped. It's heartbreaking knowing that those characters won't get their well deserved happy ending.

And now, Dead End Paranormal Park. I remember watching it the day season 1 dropped. I remember how happy everyone was hearing about s2. How it got the chance to even be produced. Checking @hamishsteele 's bolg looking for updates. Going through tumblr after binge-watching it, checking whose theories were correct.

I will never be able to express how angry I am knowing that all these stories won't get the ending they deserved. How finishing them was taken away from the creators. How we were robbed of seeing what happens next.

All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for the creators, writers, animators, voice actors, everyone who put their whole soul into these stories. It hurts me that our, as fans, love wasn't enough to convince 'the above'.

Thank you for putting the worlds you made in your head out there, for everybody to enjoy, and I wish for you and myself, that the animation industry gets its deserved recognition and justice.
