Speaker 1: Every superhero team needs side quests, and our rotating panel

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: of producers and guest hosts will be suiting up to

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: help Jason and Rosie cover even more of the pop

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: culture landscape.

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: That's right, and in these first couple episodes of Extras,

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: Aboo and I will be rewatching Netflix's Arcane season one

14
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: and a lead up to the release of season two,

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: coming out on November ninth. Today, we will be covering

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: episodes one, two, and three, Act one.

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: But first let's introduce you a little bit to x

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: ray Vision Extras.

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 4: Haaren I figure we let the.

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Listeners know what's going on and whether they're hearing our

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: voices or not.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: Rosie and Jason, Yeah, I think the main thing to

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: know is that nothing's changing with the main show. This

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 3: is literally just us giving you extra bonus treats. There's

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: not enough time to have Jason and Rosie cover everything,

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: and we're just trying to fill in the gaps.

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 4: That's right.

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 3: We'll have a mix of the other producers, Joelle and

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: Carmen who you've heard on the show. We'll have guest hosts.

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: Jason and Rosie will join us. Sometimes this is literally

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 3: just a.

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: Bonus, another cherry on top of your Sunday. Yeah, who

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: does want two cherries?

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: And for those of you who don't know us, let's

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: introduce ourselves a boo. I'll introduce you. Many of you

36
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: have probably heard a boo on X ray in the past,

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: including my favorite a boom moment the Deadphone Wolverine episode

38
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: where you famously said the mask means nothing to me

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: or something along those lines.

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: I did say that.

41
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: Why don't you give the listeners a quick rundown of

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: your background and your interests.

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: Sure, I am six feet tall, Please don't fact check

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: that Dating me is like rewatching the Digimund movie on

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: a rainy day. And the green flags that I look

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: for are whether or not you spoil your dog and

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: whether or not you use a budgeting app.

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 4: So that's everything you need to know about me. What

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 4: about you, Erin, I.

50
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: Don't watch the Bachelor? Is that like a Bachelor thing?

51
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: Is that? I just googled top hinge questions, hinge props. Okay,

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: my name is Aerin. You've probably heard me on the

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: show talk about elden ring or magic. I love video

54
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 3: games where you have to roll to dodge attacks with

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: a standina Barka. I love heroes that use quippi remarks

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: during battle. And I'm a big fan of pretty much

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: everything that X ray covers. And it's been really cool

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: to be a part of the conversation with all these things.

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: And I don't like rogue one, and we're not going

60
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: to talk about it, so let's stop telling about it. Yeah,

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: we'll do it a different time.

62
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll put a pin in that one.

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: Okay.

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: So that's a little bit about us again. Over the

65
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: next four episodes of x Ray Vision Extras, Aaron, you

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: and I will be rewatching and recapping that first season

67
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: of Arcane to refresh our memories, but also to refresh

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: the memories of our listeners who maybe haven't watched in

69
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: a while.

70
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it came out a long time, a long.

71
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Time ago, and this is kind of the norm for

72
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: TV shows these days, right, it's the years and years

73
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: in between seasons.

74
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: And it's instead of like twenty episodes a year, you

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: get eight episodes over three years. So that's where we

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: are with our kide.

77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: Right, unless you're the bear somehow pulling out a miracle.

78
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: We're also, of course going to be rewatching and recapping

79
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: for folks who are maybe interested in just jumping right

80
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: into season two and don't want to bother watching season one,

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: then maybe these next four episodes of Aaron and I

82
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: talking about it are for you. I will say, I

83
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: really need those folks, in particular the weirdos who are

84
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: only going to listen to us and not watch the show,

85
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: to hit us up in discord and explain why it's

86
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: unfathomable to me.

87
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: But I know there's some of you out there.

88
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: I could see that for sure. And I will admit

89
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: that there have been times when I've watched a season

90
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: two of a show and I have not finished the

91
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: season one within the past recent time. I will not

92
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: say how recent because it may give away what show.

93
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: But before we start reviewing ourcane and recapping it, it's

94
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: worth pointing out that the show is based off the

95
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: lore and the characters of the Legal Legends World, a

96
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: game which I have never played. Do you have any

97
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: background with the game?

98
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: It would be an overstatement to say I have a

99
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: background with a game.

100
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: The last time I.

101
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: Played it was definitely over ten years ago.

102
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: Wow.

103
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: Okay, But I think that's kind of the magic of

104
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: this show, right. You don't have to know anything about

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: the game at all, and you can watch this show

106
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: and walk away so satisfied and loving it. But I

107
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: think if you do know some of the lore of

108
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: the game, it doesn't hnce your viewing of this show

109
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: because there are these little easter eggs sprinkle throughout. There's

110
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: fun world building that they pull from the game itself,

111
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: and you and I will do our us to try

112
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: and call out whatever easter eggs we find in these

113
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: next couple of episodes. But again, neither of us are

114
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: a huge league of Legends players, so I'm sure we'll

115
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: miss a ton, So it's up to our listeners to

116
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: point those out to us and let us know.

117
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, if for whatever reason, you've listened this far

118
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: into the episode and you haven't watched the show, and

119
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: you are not panicked by the fact that Jason and

120
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: Rosie have not shown up yet, know that you are

121
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: okay to get into the show, even if you have

122
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: no background or context for League of Legends itself.

123
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 4: All four of you that are still here, you're okay

124
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: to watch Arcade season one. Okay.

125
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: So that's a bit of preamble and housekeeping out of

126
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: the way that we wanted to take care.

127
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 4: Of up top.

128
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: But we have three year old episodes to recap and

129
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: get through today, so let's take a quick breather. But

130
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: coming up right after the break, we are diving into

131
00:05:46,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: episodes one through three of Ourcane.

132
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: And we're back with Arcane Episode one. Welcome to the Playground.

133
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: We start off Violet and Powder are walking hand in

134
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: hand across a bridge that's been devastated in battle. There's

135
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: fire everywhere and they look up and through the smoke

136
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: they see this figure who we later learn is Vander,

137
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: exhausted dropping his combat gloves, and he sees these girls

138
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: who are terrified. They have looked and they see the

139
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: bodies of their parents there. Vander goes over and carries

140
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: them away from the carnage.

141
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: Boom.

142
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: Title card.

143
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: Incredible, here we are, and not to hit pause right

144
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: off the bat. Here before barely into the show, but

145
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: I just have to say already blown away by the

146
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: art style, blown away by the animation. Having seen the

147
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: trailer and watching this first episode, I remember thinking this

148
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: was another into the.

149
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 4: Spider Verse moment for me.

150
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: Hmm, wow, Like the way I felt watching Spider Verse

151
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: and going I've never seen animation like this before.

152
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: This is gorgeous. Is how I felt watching Hurricane.

153
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: It does feel elevated. Like there are plenty of incredible

154
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 3: animated shows out there, this just feels like it has

155
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: a bit of uniqueness to the entire style, and it

156
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: is like someone put I don't know, two hundred percent

157
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: more effort into all the animation.

158
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, everything, the lighting choices, the cinematography, the character designs,

159
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: everything is so gorgeous. There are frames in the show

160
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: that are.

161
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: Worthy of being printed out and hung up on a wall.

162
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: They are definitely frames that remind me as we go

163
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: through the show, that remind me of like the Avengers

164
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: movies where they would have comic splash pages. It's like,

165
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: here are all the Avengers and Age of olschron r,

166
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: here are all the Avengers like circling up. There are

167
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: definitely like Team Up comic book cover movies in the

168
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: show design, which is a very cool way of making it.

169
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: One hundred percent.

170
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: I am curious, Aaron, you're a musician, you have a

171
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: music background. What do you think of Imagine dragons? God,

172
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Imagine dragons. DNA is all over this show.

173
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: It very much is. I will say that again. We

174
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: don't want to pause too quickly. We don't want to

175
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: get negative too quickly. I think an immediate stumble of

176
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: this show is I don't know his name, but the

177
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: Imagine Dragon's lead singer's voice comes through, and I X

178
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: Ray tries not to be negative, and that's one hundred

179
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: percent a great way to do it. I have never

180
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: clicked skip intro as quickly as I do in the show,

181
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: and that is you know what, There's just something about

182
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 3: a modern band being the title card for a show

183
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: that I don't always love, and in particular right here

184
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 3: I really dislike. It's the way he delivers the lyrics.

185
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: It is the lyrics, it's the melody, it's the song itself.

186
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: Sure yeah, So, like I said, my favorite artist of

187
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: all time. Can't wait for more Imagined Dragon than season two.

188
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: All right, Well, continuing with our summary of this very

189
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: first episode, we join Violet Powder and their gang of

190
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: ne'er do wells, these Ruffians as they break into this

191
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: fancy apartment in the upper City. Things quickly go for

192
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: them when they discover this chest of mysterious blue crystals

193
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: and someone starts knocking at the door. Powder Panics accidentally

194
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: drops a bunch of the crystals, causing a massive explosion,

195
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: and then a chase ensues. The enforcers are after them,

196
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: and the kids are trying to get.

197
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: Away, jumping over a bridge as a ship goes underneath it. Yeah,

198
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: very important detail, so good.

199
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: I want to pause here again because I just got

200
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: to say I'm a bit of an audio snob as

201
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: an audio producer and podcast person. This is one of

202
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: the best sounding shows that I've watched ever. And I

203
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: don't have the most high end, incredible surround sound system

204
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: at home, but this is still a show that begs

205
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: to be heard on whatever nice soundbar, rear speakers, surround

206
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: sound janky system you have at home because it is

207
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: just so good. It's mixed so well, and in scenes

208
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: like this, in this chase scene, in this explosion scene,

209
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: you can feel that all around you in the living room.

210
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: It's so good.

211
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: I wrote down that. This is a very visceral chase

212
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: scene because like you, when Milo is running and hits

213
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: the wall, you hear a sound, but when Clagger is

214
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: running it hits the wall, it is a completely different feeling,

215
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: just from listening and the animation. Again, this is like

216
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: going above and beyond to show like these are two

217
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: very different characters. One is very tall and skinny and

218
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 3: one is this larger character, and they feel like they

219
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 3: have different weights in this scene. This opening scene is great.

220
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: I also love the Violet's doing her jump first across

221
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: the buildings and you see the little cupcakes on the

222
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: patio or the balcony whatever it is, and then someone

223
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: else jumps down. You see them again, someone else jumps down,

224
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: You see me, and then Clagger jumps down and you

225
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: see him jumping over eating the cupcakes. It was just like, yeah,

226
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: they set that joke up and they let us know

227
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: it's happening, and then it happens. It eats them.

228
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little touches like that, and the way

229
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,359
Speaker 1: each of the characters jump down is part of their characterization,

230
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: part of their movement.

231
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 4: It's all really great stuff.

232
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the crew is running. They successfully escape from

233
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: the Enforesters who are chasing them, but then they're confronted

234
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 3: by Deckard and his band of thugs and we get

235
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 3: into a little bloody slow mo fight. And as this

236
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: is happening, they throw the bag with all the loot

237
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: to powder and.

238
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: She books it. That's right.

239
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: I want to pause here once again. I feel like

240
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm hitting pause on the TV like every three minutes.

241
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: This fight scene so good, and I'm gonna be saying

242
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: that about practically every single fight scene in this entire season.

243
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: I think this is another example of how this show

244
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: takes it to the next level because the incredible fight

245
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: choreography is enhanced not only by the amazing like cinematography,

246
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: but also.

247
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 3: By Imagine Dragons.

248
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: Also by Imagine Dragons, the incredible lyricism of Imagine Dragons.

249
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: But I love the choices they made with the camera

250
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: work because throughout a fight scene like this, we see

251
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: so many things happen to the camera it loses focus.

252
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: There's like mud that splashes onto the camera lens. At

253
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: one point, the camera gets like knocked around, like when

254
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: somebody gets punched, the camera just like falls to the ground.

255
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: It reminds me of like Punks Gate movies that you

256
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: would make us a kid were like, oh shit, like

257
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: I ran my skateboard right into the camera. It reminds

258
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: me of that type of like nineties punk skate movie

259
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: in the skate park, and I think it just adds

260
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: another level to an already great choreography. In the fight scene, now,

261
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: as you said, Powder ran off with the bag of

262
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: stolen goods, one of the older kids peels off and

263
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: begins chasing her. She tries to get rid of the

264
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: kid with one of her smoke grenates, which she names Mouser,

265
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: but it doesn't go off. It doesn't work, so she panics.

266
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: She tosses the bag in the river and makes a

267
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: run for it, much to the group's dismay. Everyone is

268
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: pissed up Powder.

269
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 3: For getting rid of everything they work so hard.

270
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: That's the real thing they worked so hard for.

271
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: Back in the under City, we see Vander again. He

272
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: is now the head of this bar, the Last Drop,

273
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 3: and he shows up where there's this other criminal merchant.

274
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: Whatever role in business they have a deal is going

275
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: poorly and vandersteps into help them, showing he's a good guy.

276
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: He's what we saw in the beginning that stays his attitude.

277
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: He's helpful, he's respected in this community. The kids show

278
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 3: up and Vander goes down to talk to them. He

279
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: realizes that they messed up the job he has heard

280
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: about the explosion. Things get a little heated and Violet

281
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: has a heart to heart with him and he tries

282
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: to talk her down because Violet has a lot of

283
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: energy and Vander's trying to tamp that down a little bit.

284
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 4: That's right.

285
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: I found this to be a really touching scene. We

286
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: really see how much Vander cares for these kids. These

287
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: are clearly not his kids. We're all adopted children, probably

288
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: orphaned in whatever battle we saw at the start. And

289
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: at the same time, we also see how much vi

290
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: respects Vander because she could keep pushing his buttons, she

291
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: could keep being rebellious, but she does stand down eventually

292
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: and at least for now, listen to what he has

293
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: to say, because it's clear Vander has a past and

294
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: he's speaking from experience.

295
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: There's definitely a great parent protector role that Vander plays

296
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: with Violet. And similarly that we see Violet playing with

297
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 3: Powder as she struggles in the beginning, andlet is there

298
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: to help her, and like Milo's you know like, oh,

299
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: we shouldn't have brought her, She's causing all these problems,

300
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: and Violet is like, shut up, she's here, she's part

301
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: of this group. We're not leaving her behind.

302
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Totally and actually speaking. In that scene, Powder finds one

303
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: of those blue crystals in her pocket, so not everything

304
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: has been lost from their little job in the Upper City.

305
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: She rushes off to tell her sister the good news. Sadly,

306
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: as she approaches the door, she overhears Milo and Vi

307
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: talking about how Powder is too young and she's the

308
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: weak link of their group. She can't keep up with us,

309
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: she shouldn't be out on jobs like this with us.

310
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: VI stands up for her sister, puts Milo in his place.

311
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: She says, quote, see this look on my face. It

312
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: will always mean it's time to shut up.

313
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: It is one of those moments where it's like a

314
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: TV cliche, I feel like, where someone overhears something that's

315
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: being said about them and they leave before the other

316
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: person defends them.

317
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: Yes, but yes, it's a bit of a cliche, but

318
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: it certainly causes the beginnings of a rift between the sisters,

319
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: even though VI's clearly defending Powder at this point. I

320
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: will say, Milo, not much ground to stand on, my guy.

321
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: You fucked up on this job too, couldn't pick that

322
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: lock at the beginning, wasted time stealing useless junk from

323
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: the apartment. Let's slip to DECKERD and his crew that

324
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: y'all got some good loot. Sounds to me like you

325
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: have fucked up and struck out, Milo.

326
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: Well, that's why he's blaming someone else. Yeah, that's just Milo.

327
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: Vander goes to visit his old friend Benzo, who is

328
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: running a shop that sells goods that have come about

329
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: by potentially questionable means, and they're trying to cover up

330
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: for the kids. And then two enforcers show up and

331
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: they start interrogating them, and Benzo's assistant Echo or little

332
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: Man overhears Vander and the head enforcer, Grayson colluding. They

333
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: have been working together. They've got a little deal. Vander

334
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: keeps his people away from top side. They don't make

335
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: trouble on the enforcers stay out of his business down here.

336
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: But now she's like, this is a big deal. This

337
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: was an explosion, I think I think. He asks, did

338
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: anyone die, and she says, yes, they blew up, but building.

339
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: So she's saying, look, I can't come back empty handed.

340
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: I need someone to take back to the council or

341
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: we're going to be in a lot more trouble.

342
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: That's right now.

343
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: Back at home, VI is controlling Powder and takes her

344
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: up on the roof. We get this really gorgeous shot

345
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: of the city scape down here in the lower city.

346
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: She points out all of the other mistakes that the

347
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: other kids have made in their past, quote, We've all

348
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: had bad days, but we learn and we stick together.

349
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: Such a beautiful line that really struck a chord with me.

350
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: Powder then shows her sister the blue crystal that she

351
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: still has, and the two decide to keep.

352
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 4: It secret from vanderfer.

353
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: Now definitely a good idea. I'm sure this will not

354
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: pun intended blow up in anyone's face.

355
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally Ugh what a scene. I loved this as

356
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: the book end to this episode. As someone who myself

357
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: is an eldest brother and also very much a parentified

358
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,479
Speaker 1: child to an annoying but lovable little sister.

359
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: This scene fucking got me.

360
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: Really, I was already so emotional at this scene, and

361
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: obviously we're going to see the relationship between these two

362
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: sisters of all over the course of the season.

363
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 4: It gets me every time, folks.

364
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: The episode ends with a mysterious man interrogating Decord, who

365
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 3: you know, Decord was only supposed to be following the kids,

366
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: wasn't supposed to engage. Decord lies and says, they jumped me,

367
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. But this mysterious man, who we later

368
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: find out is Sosco. He is there with his lab

369
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 3: assistant Singed, who was demonstrating this magical grape soda on

370
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: a rat, and the rat hulks out and kills a cat.

371
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: This like Doctor Evil, tiny little hairless cat. And it

372
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 3: sounds like Decord has been volunteered to be the first

373
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: human trial of grape soda number nine.

374
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 4: Yikes. I think I've had this grape soda from seven

375
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 4: to eleven before.

376
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: You know, with your food choices. I feel like this

377
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: that checks out good? All right, after the break, we're

378
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 3: going to get into episodes two and three of Arcane.

379
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: We'll see you soon, all right, folks, we are back

380
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: dive for episode two of Arcane, titled Some Mysteries Are

381
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: Better Left Unsolved.

382
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 3: We open on a completely new setting. We have Jace

383
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: and Caitlin on the other side of the door that

384
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 3: Vibe blocked during their robbery, and Jace is attempting to

385
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: open the door and he's thrown hurdled backwards from the explosion,

386
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: and in the chaos, he has a flashback. We flash

387
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: back to his childhood in upstate Minnesota, which I can

388
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 3: recognize because that's where I went to college. So in Minnesota,

389
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: it is freezing. There is a blizzard, and he's with

390
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: his mom and she is beginning to get frostbite on

391
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: her hand. Jace calls out for help. She collapses, and

392
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: then a mysterious cloaked figure arives and uses a very

393
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: impressive looking like hand motion, very elaborate scroll of town

394
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: portal and teleports them to a warm and sunny locale.

395
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: And he used this small mysterious rock and he gives

396
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: the rock to Jace and disappears.

397
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 4: Wow.

398
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: Loved this flashback. I think it explains a lot about

399
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Chase the character. It also reveals something that infuriates me.

400
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: Jase was a cute little kid and now we see

401
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: him as an adult and he's an absolute hunk, and

402
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: we know he's smart and charismatic.

403
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: Aaron, some folks just have it all.

404
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: I disagree, and we'll get into that later.

405
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Oh all right, So back in the present, Grayson and

406
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: a guy with a cane who we will eventually learn

407
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: is Victor are searching the wreckage of Jase's apartment and

408
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: they arrest him while the quote unquote council decides his fate.

409
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: Always a good sign when a council gets involved. Jace

410
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: is visited in his holding cell by Heimerdinger, who he

411
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: has history with through the academy, and Jase explains his

412
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: research to heimer Dinger, who warns Jase not to mention

413
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: anything about magic to the council. Okay, just say you're sorry,

414
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: say you won't do it again, and they'll let you

415
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: off with a slap on the wrist. Don't say the

416
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: M word around the council.

417
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: Seems pretty easy, the cut and dry way to get

418
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 3: out of this. We cut back to the under city.

419
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: Violet in the gang are hiding out in this tricked

420
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 3: out arcade they've got. There's a boxing machine, Powder's rigged

421
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 3: up this shooting gallery where she completely hands Milo his

422
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: ass Outside, though, enforcers are questioning citizens and they're looking

423
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: for the kids, and then they chase after the kids

424
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 3: and they flee up a fire escape. Thanks to little

425
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: Man and then back at the last drop. People are

426
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: getting restless and they're doubting vanders leadership. They're saying, like

427
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: the enforcers are here, they're supposed to stay out of

428
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: our business. We got to teach them a lesson. And

429
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 3: while this is all happening and people are losing faith

430
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: in Vander, Echo tells Violet about Vanders deal with Grayson.

431
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 4: Ugh, that's got it hurt.

432
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: That's got to be like finding out the tooth fairy

433
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: isn't real, right, all right? Jumping back to pilta Over,

434
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: the council members arrive for Jas's trial. Mel Madara, who

435
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: we saw plotting earlier, brings a children's toy for counselor hospital, which,

436
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: of course is better than a half eaten bag of

437
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: nuts that he's allergic to.

438
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 4: So good on her.

439
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 3: Yep, yep, wait to do your research.

440
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 4: To your research now. The trial officially begins, and Jace

441
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 4: is pretty cooperative.

442
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: He's doing everything Heimerdinger told, saying all the right things,

443
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: until the council questions his skills as an academic, as

444
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: a scientist, as somebody who could discover something new for

445
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: this city. And this roused him up enough that he

446
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: says the M word, he drops the M word. This

447
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: becomes very problematic, but Heimerdinger jumps in and is able

448
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: to convince the Council to go easy on Jase. Just

449
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: expel him from the academy, get rid of all of.

450
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: His research and his tools.

451
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Don't banish him from Piltover all together.

452
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 4: Please.

453
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's we get a little interesting backstory here

454
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 3: as well as exposition wise with we learn from the

455
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, the android looking cyborg creature with the

456
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 3: neck that magic has destroyed his people. There's clearly an

457
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: anti magic sentiment here, and we get a little bit

458
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: more of this as the episode goes, you know, with

459
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: some more fantastical creatures. I really like heimer Dinger's design,

460
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: and I really like the variety and the diversity we

461
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: see on the Council with like the clock ticking necklace

462
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: is one of my favorite costumes in the show so far.

463
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: But I am excited for more of that too, and

464
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: there will be more of that. But yeah, I like.

465
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 3: One of my favorite parts about the Council is there

466
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: are multiple non human creatures or characters. I have no

467
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: idea what the robot thing is, but that we may

468
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: learn later.

469
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little fun fact about Himerdinger. I did look

470
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: up some more about him, oh, very quickly. He is

471
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: a Yordel, yeah, of course, which is a race of

472
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: small beings that live in Bandal City, which is a

473
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: region that's not actually in room Terra, which is like

474
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: this oh universe that we're existing in now, but is

475
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: actually in a pocket dimension that has many entrances to

476
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Rune Tarra.

477
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 4: So he's from another dimension.

478
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: I am a little shocked that all these non human

479
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: creatures are worried about magic, considering you think that like

480
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: the involvement with of magic, with their involvement in this city. See,

481
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have no idea. They hate magic.

482
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 3: That's all that I know.

483
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: That's true now, Silko and singed in their underwater villain

484
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: Lair convinced Deckerd to take a shot of the magic

485
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: rape soda vile number ten presumably, and they tell him, look, quote,

486
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: there's a monster inside all of us. It's time to

487
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: let the monster out, which is what I say to

488
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: myself in the mirror.

489
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, psaking yourself up for recordings. The enforcers return to

490
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: the Last Drop looking for the kids, and Vander warns

491
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 3: them with this nice little you know, panic button that

492
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: Powder's designed, and they hide and narrowly avoid getting caught. Powder,

493
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: of course, almost Moos falls as the Enforcter is down

494
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: there again some great camera work where like the camera

495
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 3: is underneath the table and you think that that's the

496
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: view of one of the kids, and then it turns

497
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 3: out it's not and the kids are actually up hiding

498
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: in the rafters. Lots of rafters in this show. You'd

499
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 3: think this was like a dark soul's level. We will

500
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 3: get back to more things with rafters. Violet wants to

501
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: fight back. Vander brings her up to the bridge where

502
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: we saw in the opening of episode one, and he's like,

503
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: look at this is the last battle we had. I

504
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 3: led the charge and your parents were part of that

505
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 3: group and we lost them, and like war is horrible.

506
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: You don't want this, Yeah, And I think the most

507
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: telling part of this is he says, who are you

508
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: willing to lose in this war?

509
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 4: Milo?

510
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: And Via doesn't react Clagger, She doesn't react Powder, and

511
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: she instantly looks over, you know, she looks away. She

512
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: can't bear the thought of losing powder at a war.

513
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that maybe stays her hand. I

514
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: love this push and pull between Vander and Violet. He's

515
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: obviously more experienced, he's somewhat jaded, clearly based on his

516
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: past experiences. VI, on the other hand, as this like idealist,

517
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: hot headed young person who thinks they can fight their

518
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: way out of every situation.

519
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 4: And what's cool.

520
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: And I think what makes this emotional drama between these

521
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: characters so interesting is that neither is necessarily entirely wrong

522
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: correct And you.

523
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 4: Could argue either side of it.

524
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: You could say Vander is taking the more level headed

525
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: approach that's keeping more people alive at the moment. You

526
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: could take VIA's side of things and say, look, things

527
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: won't get better until we fight, and that's going to

528
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: require some sacrifice.

529
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 3: I actually think they've done it. They do a lot

530
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: of flipping back and forth between Piltover and the under City, Yeah,

531
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: which we can talk about more with three. I think

532
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 3: it becomes a lot more apparent in episode three, but

533
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 3: I think they have they're trying to toe the line

534
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: between like we don't want you to hate Piltover, but

535
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 3: we want you to think the under City hates them,

536
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 3: and that that's holding them down because other than the which,

537
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: let's be honest, are cops and are villains of every

538
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: story anyways, Like there's no part of me that's like, hey,

539
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: Heimerdinger hates the under City. Like so there's this interesting

540
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 3: back and forth where like I kind of get where

541
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: Vander's coming from, because, like you know, their status of

542
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: living is clearly not great in the under City. Anytime

543
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 3: you live in something called the under City that you

544
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: have to get to by like parcouring your way down

545
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 3: the sewers, probably not the best place to live. But

546
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 3: I haven't seen anything other than the Enforcers through these

547
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 3: two episodes where I'm like, yeah, we're against Tiltover. Like

548
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 3: I understand Violet doesn't love her a lot in life,

549
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 3: and it is there's a lot that's going wrong down there.

550
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: And again we have to be reminded this is from war.

551
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: They went to war and they lost, so they're clearly

552
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 3: like there's a victor. History is written by the victors,

553
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 3: and it is Piltover. Yes, but maybe I just like

554
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: talked myself out of that thought because yeah, they lost

555
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: the war. But so far, like the idea of the

556
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: Enforcer staying out of their stuff that Vander has set

557
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 3: up is kind of a nice yeah band aid. Yeah.

558
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: No, I think what you're getting at is, like, no

559
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: one hears overtly the bad guy. I mean, Silko obviously

560
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: is the bad guy, but even Silko will see in

561
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: the next episode, has reasons for what he is doing,

562
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: and you can really empathize with those reasons. And you're

563
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: absolutely correct that nobody in Piltover makes me go, oh, yeah,

564
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: I'd want to go to war against this guy in particular,

565
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: and in fact, I'm out here rooting for Jace to

566
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 1: win and get his magic off the ground. Yeah. And

567
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: I think that is the magic of the show, Like

568
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: we're rooting for both sides as the viewer, and we

569
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: empathize with all sides as the viewer, and you can

570
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: understand where everyone's coming from and where the drama and

571
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: the emotional intensity comes from is the disagreements between parties. Yeah,

572
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: and no party from their point of view is necessarily wrong.

573
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: They're all justified in what they're doing as they see it,

574
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: which makes.

575
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 4: For a really interesting show.

576
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: Agreed.

577
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: So back to our summ reach, Ja finds himself back

578
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: at his apartment.

579
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 4: He is distraught.

580
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: He's about to jump off the ledge when he is

581
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: stopped by Victor, who arrives with some of Jase's notes

582
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: and arrives with a proposition, Jace, what if we work together?

583
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 3: Cut to a message going up our Paddington mail tubes.

584
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: Grayson receives her mail, and then we cut to Vander

585
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: sitting at the last drop with powder and she's very sad,

586
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: and Vander ports are a drink of I assume some

587
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 3: non alcoholic beverage. And then we cut to Violet sitting alone.

588
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: She's broken into Benzo's shop and she's waiting to turn

589
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: herself into the enforcers, and you hear the marching of footsteps,

590
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: and we cut to the end of the episode.

591
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 4: Oh God, what an eldest sibling thing to do? Love it?

592
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: I volunteer is tribute?

593
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 4: All right?

594
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Let's roll right into episode three. This one is titled

595
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: The Base Violence Necessary for Change. The episode opens on

596
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: a flashback of young Silko being drowned and fighting for

597
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: his life against some unknown assailant. Of course, later in

598
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: the episode, we will learn that this assailant was none

599
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: other than Vander.

600
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of Vander, turns out it was not the Enforcers

601
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: coming to get Violet, it was Vander and Benze. They're

602
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: here to prevent Violet from turning herself in, and they

603
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 3: lock her in a storage cabinet or something that locks

604
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: from the outside. And then Grayson, Marcus and a bunch

605
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: of other enforcers show up, and Grayson tells Vander she

606
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: can't take him because if she takes He's basically saying,

607
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: I'm turning myself in, I will be the pound of

608
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: flesh that calms this conflict. And she's saying, I can't

609
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: take you because without you, this whole thing falls apart,

610
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: this old shady alliance we have, like who knows what's

611
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: going to happen down here? And then suddenly we hear

612
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: screaming outside. Violet watches from the window in this little

613
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: closet storage room and we see blood splatter against the window.

614
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: Beautiful, beautiful and horrifying. Yes, yes, the camera pans outside.

615
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: We see a few dead enforcers, including Grayson. Rip Silko

616
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: walks up out of the shadows, and Benzo, who clearly

617
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: recognizes him, though clearly have some.

618
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 4: Sort of cast.

619
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Benzo rushes towards him, but is absolutely decked by our

620
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: guy deckerd in hulk mode. Clearly the grape Soda worked

621
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: and kills Benzo right in front of everybody. Marcus is

622
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: in shock. He says a thing out loud that he

623
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't have said. This wasn't the deal, Silko, what are

624
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: you doing?

625
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 4: And Silko's response is cold, deal's changed.

626
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 3: A really again, here we are with the sound and

627
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: the visceralness of the show. Yeah, and we're getting sneaking

628
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: shots of a decord in hulk mode, but just like

629
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: a really well set up scene of danger.

630
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. I mean it's horrifying stuff. Yeah, you

631
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: can put yourself in violet shoes looking out that window.

632
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 3: And it's especially like I love how Benzo recognizing Soco

633
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: kind of puts you at ease, like, oh, these this

634
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: is like they oh and then no, never mind this totally.

635
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 3: We cut back to Piltover. Jason Victor are hard at

636
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: work and they think they've found a formula to stabilize

637
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: the hex crystals, the blue gems that they've been working on,

638
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: but they are going to need some of his equipment

639
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: from Heimerdinger's lab.

640
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 4: To test it. Mmmm. This is giving Upenheimer. MM.

641
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: I do love this storyline though, this Jason Victor teaming

642
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: up to figure out the magic formula. I love that

643
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: this is another tension in this story, right, this idea

644
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: of science first progress just because you can, should you? Heimerdinger,

645
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: of course, is much more cautious. Yes, really echoes of Vander.

646
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: There on the flip side, we have Jason Victor who

647
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: are very much more hot headed, are focused on making

648
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: progress at all costs, and aren't afraid to break a

649
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: couple of eggs or cause a couple of explosions along

650
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: the way.

651
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have these two fatherly figures, in Vander's case

652
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 3: overtly a father figure, who are trying to tell the

653
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: young people like, please be careful, you know, this is

654
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: not something we need to rush into. And then of

655
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 3: course the kids are rushing into it.

656
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again nobody's wrong here.

657
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 3: Correct.

658
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: Either side could be argued, And I love that the

659
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: show isn't shying away from tackling these big ideas in

660
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: a way that is mature and nuanced and could lead

661
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: you to the fall on any side of that argument,

662
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: depending on who you are.

663
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 3: Vander wakes up in a cannery where Soko has been

664
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 3: mass producing the shimmer. I realize we've just been calling

665
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 3: it a grape soda. This whole time it's called Shimmer.

666
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: Silko reveals the reason he's doing all this is he

667
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: wants to intimidate Piltover with his shimmer infused soldiers and

668
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: wants them to fear him. And Silko's trying to recruit

669
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: Vander because again we're learning more about their backstory. Vander

670
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 3: and Soko have not always been enemies. They used to

671
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: be partners, and he wants him to fight with him.

672
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 4: Oh, it's beautiful stuff.

673
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: And Silko says, you'd die for a cause, but you

674
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: won't fight for one.

675
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 4: That gave me chills.

676
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: What a line, And that was the line where I

677
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: was like my own Silko side.

678
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: They're definitely a lot of really good one liners. Is

679
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: the wrong phrase because it's not like, it's not like quips, Yeah,

680
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 3: but it is really good quotes to summarize character's emotions.

681
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and it sounds like something that Violet would say

682
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: to Vander and probably has a to Vander, why don't

683
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: we fight more? It's really lovely characterization. And I loved

684
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: this episode in particular sort of being underpinned by that

685
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: flashback where we learn more about Silko and Vander's relationship

686
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: and that clearly traumatic drowning scene that has come to

687
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: define Silko's life in a way that we see the

688
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: fallout for to this day. Now, Victor and Jace back

689
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: in piltovert sneak into Heimerdinger's lab, or they try to

690
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: sneak into heimer Dinger's lab and they're caught by Mel

691
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: in the hallway. Mel agrees to not turn them in,

692
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: but they have one night to prove that they can

693
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: make this damn thing work.

694
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 3: And the reason they're caught is because this hallway has

695
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 3: no lights whatsoever. We are in and they we're in

696
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: the city that won the war, and is the technological

697
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 3: advanced of the two no lights. They're carrying like little flashlights,

698
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: and she's standing there and catches them.

699
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 4: Incredible.

700
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then my.

701
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: Question is yeah, and look, I'm not going to question

702
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: Mail all that much because she's hot and she gets

703
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: the pass, But what is.

704
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 4: She doing in this completely pitch black dark hallway at

705
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 4: this hour?

706
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 3: I mean, she's looking for the lights. I assume I'm

707
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: going around. Yeah, she just happened to be there at

708
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: the right time, and she's like, oh hello. Violet returns

709
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: to the last drop to collect her things. She's distraught,

710
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 3: she's going to rescue Vander and she collects the guys

711
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 3: Milo and Clagger. She's like, come on, we're going, and

712
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: Powder wants to come. She's pulling her bombs together and

713
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 3: Violet's like, no, you got to stay home for this one.

714
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 3: And she's learned something from Vander and she's like, you're

715
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: the only thing I have left. You have to go here.

716
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 3: You can't go, you have to stay. She gives her

717
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: this flare and says, use this shine it. I will

718
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: come find you. I do want to talk a little

719
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: bit about We've talked about this flashback with Soko and Vander.

720
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 4: Yep.

721
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: I love that. I think that was an incredible storytelling

722
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: device in the beginning. I love like we have the

723
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 3: Kendrick Lamar swimming pools ask a visual. I in this

724
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 3: episode in particular, was getting a little sick of the

725
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: constant back and forth. Cut to Violet three minutes, cut

726
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 3: to Jason's story four minutes, cut to Violet for five minutes,

727
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 3: cut to Jace for three minutes, And I think this

728
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 3: is the episode where I'm losing it with Jay's storyline. Yeah,

729
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm just like, we have this underground city like gang

730
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: warfare thing going on, and Jason Victor still have not

731
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 3: figured out how to turn the lights on, and that

732
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 3: has impacted how I have watched the rest of the show.

733
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: I love Violet and I love this storyline. Oh yeah,

734
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: And I just think like there are a couple times

735
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 3: they do these flashbacks when I'm just like, come on,

736
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: just let this one story breathe a little bit more

737
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 3: before you cut out of it. But yeah, I understand

738
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: that they're trying to get us into both narratives. But

739
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 3: one of the things I think, like Episode one, I

740
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: think was very strong because it's focused on one group

741
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 3: and it's a ton of people in that one group.

742
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 3: We introduced a bunch of people, But I think the

743
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: show right now is having a hard time making me

744
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: care about Jace because the only connection is that they

745
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 3: robbed him, Like this will not be the case later on.

746
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: I just think there's a little bit in these episodes

747
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: two and three where I was like, I love violet

748
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 3: storyline a lot more than Jason's, and no amount of

749
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: snow and frostbite is going to change that. So that

750
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 3: was just how I felt as we're getting to the

751
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: end of Act one.

752
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's a totally valid criticism. I agree

753
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: Jason Victor's story slow burn here in these first three episodes,

754
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: we're still building up to the hex Tech basically, and

755
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: Violet and Powder storyline has just been go, go, go,

756
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: go go from the minute we saw them. How many

757
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: fights have they already been in three episodes? And Jase's

758
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: only conflict so far, obviously very devastating for him was

759
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: the council. Yeah, it was the council trial and getting

760
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: kicked out of the academy, you know, and now he

761
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: just has too much free time on his hands. Yes,

762
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 1: so I totally understand that criticism, and I don't disagree.

763
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: It's certainly a bit slower if I were to put

764
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: myself into the writers and editors and show creators shoes.

765
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 4: A little bit.

766
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: I think their intention of cutting back and forth was

767
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: maybe to try and hype up the Jase stuff a

768
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: bit more, to intercut it with the Violet stuff that

769
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: is so good, so intense, so dangerous. If we had

770
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: a very long, extended scene of Jason Victor doing calculations

771
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: on a on a chalkboard, I would, yeah, exactly, with

772
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: no interruptions. Oppenheimer certainly made that interesting. It would have

773
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: been tough in this show, I think. So I do

774
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: want to hand it to them for trying to increase

775
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: the tension of Jace's storyline, because it is a bit

776
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: slow at this moment.

777
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,240
Speaker 3: I do think, you know, like you were saying, you

778
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 3: you really like Jason his storyline, and that is to

779
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 3: do through those first three episodes. I it gets better,

780
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 3: of course, but through those first three I was kind

781
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 3: of like, I know the parts of this I want

782
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 3: to be watching, certainly.

783
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Back to our recap, Powder in tears devastated, Sobbing

784
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: accidentally drops the hex crystals that she still has on

785
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: the ground and she sees them react violently and puts

786
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: two and two together. She realizes these crystals are what

787
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: caused the explosion earlier during the job, and so she

788
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: knows that she can help.

789
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: Now. Cut back to Jason's storyline. Back to Heimerginger's lab,

790
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: Jason Victor are also experimenting with the crystals. I'll be

791
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 3: it in a slightly more structured way, but they of

792
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 3: course cause an explosion and people on the street see it.

793
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 4: That's right.

794
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: Cut back to Violet, Milo and Clagger, who sneak into

795
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: the cannery to say Vander they very quickly realize, oh,

796
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: it was too easy.

797
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 4: Getting in here. It's a trap.

798
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: Soilko and his goons are waiting for them, and so

799
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: Violet puts on those power gloves and prepares to fight them.

800
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: To distract the goons while Milo tries to free Vander,

801
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: and while Clagger looks for an alternate exit, Powder arrives

802
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: with her hex crystal infused bombs and is scaling the

803
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: wall outside. It's a really tense scene. There's this really

804
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: subtle tick tick tick that's not quite a clock, but

805
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: it's in the sound design, and it's so good because

806
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: you're like sweating the whole time.

807
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: Thank you, imagine dragons, Thank you.

808
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 4: So much, Imagine dragons.

809
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Powder sees Violet on the catwalk fighting silko soldiers and

810
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 1: knows now's her moment to help.

811
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 3: So Violet is taking out most of these low level googles.

812
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 3: A good job, yeah, doing an incredible job. There's some

813
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: great fight choreography here again, and then Silko gives Deckard

814
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 3: some more shimmer and he completely overpowers her. She has

815
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: another one of these comic books like jumping in the

816
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: air and doesn't matter, so she crawls back to the

817
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 3: room where Vander is and she closes the door and

818
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: locks it, which I guess is an enough to keep

819
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 3: him out for a little bit.

820
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: That's right, Such a good fight scene again, great camera work,

821
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: visceral punches, you could feel all of the hits that

822
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: Violet's taking and the goons are taking. And then yeah,

823
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: that power jump iconic so cool.

824
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,479
Speaker 4: I loved it. Wish it would have worked better.

825
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: I also like we see Violet earlier using the boxing

826
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: dummy that has like the painted face and everything right,

827
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: and we it's very cool. In this fight as well

828
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: as in later episodes, we really get a sense that

829
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: Violet's fighting style is a boxing fighting style. She is

830
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 3: like a bare knuckle brawler, except she's not bare knuckles.

831
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: She's got the most elaborate power gloves that we've seen

832
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: so far.

833
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: Okay, back to Piltover, because we can't forget about Jason's

834
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: Victor are boys, Heimerdinger and some enforcers break down the door.

835
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: Just as Jas and Victor succeed in their experimentation. The

836
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: light is illuminated in blue and everything is floating. Jace

837
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: and Victor sure are up there, cheering and happy that

838
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: they've solved it. The era of magic has begun to

839
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: clear his mel and Jays quickly cuts in the era

840
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: of hextech. And look, I just gotta say, Chase, smart guy,

841
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: good looking, just had an incredible breakthrough, But his real

842
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: genius is knowing the power of good branding.

843
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one is gonna in a city that hates magic.

844
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: You're not gonna get very far, saying, ladies and gentlemen,

845
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 3: it's the era of magic. No, you need something different.

846
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, good branding, hex tech all right.

847
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 3: Back to the fight. Powder throws her bomb infused with

848
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 3: hex crystals at DECKERD and it goes off in absolutely

849
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 3: horrifying fashion. So you have the circus monkey banging at

850
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: symbols and every bang sends out a new shock wave.

851
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: Powder is thrown clear off the wall that she's been

852
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 3: clinging to. Milo and Clagger are killed in the aftermath

853
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 3: of shocks, like a pole goes through Milo's shoulder. Clagger

854
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 3: is crushed, and Vander and Violet are both trapped underneath rubble. Deckard,

855
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: of course, is completely still alive and kicking. The bomb

856
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 3: did not seem to hit him at all, even though

857
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 3: it was right next to him, which is probably how

858
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 3: any of my experience playing League of Legends would go

859
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 3: missing the target entirely. In order to protect Violet, Vander

860
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 3: grabs makeshift brass knuckles, not his power gloves, just like

861
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what they are. They're like two pieces

862
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 3: of metal. And he tries going toe to toe with Deckerd,

863
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 3: and then Soko arrives and stabs Vander in the back

864
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 3: literally and throws him off the bridge. Vander lands in

865
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 3: a pile of shimmer vials because this is where they

866
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 3: are producing all the shimmer, and the shimmer powers him up,

867
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 3: and he hulks out and comes up and beats Deckerd

868
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 3: and then he looks He's got Silko's fleeing to one

869
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 3: direction and Violet is underneath rubble in the other direction.

870
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 3: The place is falling. We have a real Sophie's choice,

871
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: and Vander, even in this monstrous, hulked out form, saves.

872
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 4: Violet right Jesus his daughter, and then he dies. This

873
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 4: is the end of Vander.

874
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: His last act in this mortal coil was to save Violet.

875
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: And he turns to her and he says, take care

876
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: of your sister, take care of power. Heartbreaking stuff. Now,

877
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 1: Powder herself shows up, excited at first that her bomb

878
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: worked and went off and presumably saved everyone, but quickly

879
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: learns the horrifying truth. Violet, of course, is distraught. She's

880
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: just lost her father figure, she's lost all her closest friends,

881
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: and it's because of her.

882
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 4: Brat little sister, who she told us stay home.

883
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: They get into a heated argument. Violet says some things

884
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: that she will come to regret and probably shouldn't have

885
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: said in this moment, but you can't fault her.

886
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 4: It's emotionally heat.

887
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 3: Not only does she say some things, she slaps her

888
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 3: slaps Powder.

889
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: It's heartbreaking stuff to see this. Violet walks off on

890
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: her own, leaving Powder there sobbing in exit next to

891
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: the body of Vander.

892
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 3: Soko so alive, still looking for the girls, and he

893
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 3: comes into the alleyway and he sees Powder and he

894
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 3: pulls out a knife. He's ready, and Violet, who has

895
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 3: been escaping, turns around, sees Silko there sees Powder, unaware

896
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 3: that he's there, and she's gonna go save her. But

897
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 3: then Marcus shows up and you know, I forget what

898
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 3: it's called. Put yeah the chloroform over her mouth. Silko

899
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 3: shows up Powder, having just lost her entire family jumps

900
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 3: into his arms and oh.

901
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, horrifying stuff. And you know what's beautiful is like

902
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: how thematically resonant this is. Silko knows better than anyone

903
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: what it's like to be betrayed. It's the thing that

904
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: is defined him. This whole episode, we've watched flashbacks of

905
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: him being drowned by his brother, by his brother in arms, Vander,

906
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: somebody who he to this day is trying to recruit

907
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: to his side. Silko knows what it's like to have

908
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: a brother betray you, and now Powder knows what it's

909
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: seemingly like to have a to turn on you as well.

910
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: And so she is looking for comfort in the arms

911
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: of somebody who knows exactly how she feels in this moment.

912
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 4: It's powerful stuff.

913
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, not her best move. She's got a lot of blunders.

914
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 3: I know she's a little kid, but I think she

915
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 3: was so good in the beginning of episode two when

916
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 3: she was at the shooting range and she made a

917
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 3: lot of mistakes she did.

918
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly you can't be mad at Violet here for

919
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: the way she reacted, and uh, you do.

920
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 4: Powder is so.

921
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: Cute and you want to protect her and hugger, but

922
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: she really fucked up here and caused a lot of

923
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: people to die. It's a tough look and a tough

924
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: day for Powder and at the end of the day,

925
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: like most of these people just need therapy in a

926
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 1: hug and they're.

927
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 4: Just not getting it. It's stuff.

928
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if a place that doesn't believe

929
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 3: in magic, I'm not sure how Piltover and the under

930
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 3: City feel about therapy unfortunately.

931
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: Woo.

932
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: All right, this episode's one two and three of Arcane.

933
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: That actually wraps up this like first arc of this story.

934
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:02,960
