History YMMV / Arcane

* SignatureLine:
** "I told you to STAY AWAY!" ''(slap)'' and "Because you're a jinx!"
** "In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good."
** [[spoiler:Silco's last line to Jinx. "Don't cry, you're perfect".]]

** Viktor's assistant Sky appears to be a somewhat important character, even appearing in Viktor's flashback. [[spoiler: However, she is killed rather unceremoniously only to fuel Viktor's angst. Fans feel like she should have been developed as a character in her own right.]]

* FoeYay: Jinx/Ekko, or "Timebomb". Despite having little scenes together in Act I, their fight scene in Act III showcases the two were close as children, and despite growing up into mortal enemies, are still shown to love eachother when [[spoiler:Ekko hesitates to kill Jinx when he notices her grey eyes and how Powder is still in there]].

** Be honest when someone isn't ready for something. While he was too harsh in how he said it, Mylo was ultimately right when he pointed out how Powder keeps making mistakes, but Vi always brushed it off and built-up Powder's confidence way too high, to the point where the first time Vi tells her that it's too dangerous and that she isn't ready, Powder is so emotionally devastated that she is in the middle of a complete emotional breakdown by the time we next her. The only way she finds to snap out of it is finding a way that she can prove herself to Vi again, and we know how that went.

** Viewers pointing out that the entire timeline of the show was set the second Powder discovered Jayce's Hextech-gemstones-in-progress [[labelnote:Explanation]]The enforcers tracking down Vi and the group, Viktor meeting Jayce and helping his research, Powder accidentally killing her family with a Hex bomb, etc.[[/labelnote]], so the entire show wouldn't have happened if Powder had just [[ForWantOfANail kept eating the sandwich.]]

* EvilIsSexy:
** By act 2, Jinx might be a vicious remorseless murderer, but she is also CuteAndPsycho and is in a revealing outfit, making many fans attracted to her.
** Sevika is Silco's top enforcer for a ''very'' good reason and her being quite attractive with her somewhat revealing outfit which mentioned above fans immediately want her as a Champion and supporting character in Season 2.
** Silco has attracted many admirers with his sharp suits and Creator/JasonSpisak's charismatic performance. Many fans find his facial scars actually add to his appeal, making for an intimidating, tragic, and above all memorable villain design.
** Ambessa Medarda, while being an older woman, is also a SilverVixen and AmazonianBeauty. She especially got this reaction following a bathing scene that shows off her muscular and scarred body; she also has NoNudityTaboo and a tendency to hit on younger men, neither of which probably hurt for much of the fanbase.

** Be honest when someone isn't ready for something. While he was too harsh in how he said it, Mylo was ultimately right when he pointed out how Power keeps making mistakes, but Vi always brushed it off and built-up Power's confidence way too high, to the point where the first time Vi tells her that it's too dangerous and that she isn't ready, Powder is so emotionally devastated that she is in the middle of a complete emotional brake by the time we next her. The only way she finds to snap out of it is finding a way that she can prove herself to Vi again, and we know how that went.

* SignatureScene:
** Episode 3: [[spoiler: Powder sets off her monkey bomb in an ill-fated attempt to save her family, and then later when Vi slaps Powder so hard she bleeds and calls her a jinx after learning the explosion was her doing.]]
** Episode 5: The "You're hot, Cupcake" moment between Vi and Caitlyn that also includes the former doing a WallPinOfLove on the latter.
** Episode 6: [[spoiler:After learning Vi is still alive, Jinx lights up the flare Vi gave her all those years ago in hope for reunion.]]
** Episode 7: [[spoiler:The epic showdown between Ekko and Jinx set to Denzel Curry's ''Dynasties and Dystopia''.]]
** Episode 8: [[spoiler:Jayce and Vi attack the Silco’s labs, armed with their iconic weapons to boot, all set to PVRIS and MIYAVI’s ''Snakes'' being an epic team-up between these two, even starting with Vi jumping in to save Jayce.]]
** Episode 9: [[spoiler:Silco's death and his final words to Jinx.]]

* WoobieFamily: Vi and Jinx's parents are shown dead minutes into the first episode. They get a pretty happy adoptive family by Vander with Milo and Claggor. Act 1 is not kind to them, [[spoiler: leaving the family broken with the latter three dead, Vi jailed, and Jinx feeling abandoned.]] Also [[spoiler:Silco, Vander's brother, was betrayed by Vander, who gave him a nasty scar and deformed eye. He eventually adopts Jinx, and while they have a loving relationship it's clearly toxic. In episode 7, Silco sees Jinx almost get killed by a bomb and rushes to save her. The infamous "family dinner" scene really drives home how sad all these people are.]]

** Don't be a [[BigBrotherBully Big Sibling Bully]]. Most of Jinx's least-stable moments are born from reminders of what Mylo used to say to/about Powder, proving how deeply it all cut. She generally tends to fixate on him more than any other member of her family (besides Vi), and her hallucinations usually manifest as him criticizing and insulting her, which in turn drive her to commit her most dangerous and cruel actions. While [[spoiler:accidentally killing her family when trying to help rescue Vander was obviously a big part of how her mind broke, it's evident that Mylo's regular bullying caused her a great deal of trauma on its own, particularly because Vi ended up taking his side when she hit her and called her a jinx for the accidental killing of their family.]]

** Like [[WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower Catra]] before her, jokes that Jinx needs therapy to help her deal with all the toxic shit in her life are fairly common. It helps that [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBNA43Ppw3sCUbq-x2SvP8g an actual therapist]] reacts to the show. To a lesser extent, all of the main characters need therapy, as the [[Woobie/{{Arcane}} Woobie]] subpage can attest to.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Whoopee, an animated ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' series! That means it's got to be just as cartoonishly cute and silly as the original game, right? But as this show reminds you, ''this is NOT the case.'' Despite the show stemming from a teen-rated IP, the series itself is rated 16+ (TV-14 in the US) for [[DarkerAndEdgier violence, some strong language (with characters, especially Vi, using "fuck"), some particularly brutal sequences]] , and even [[HotterAndSexier explicit sexual references, including a surprisingly graphic sex scene]].

** Episode 8: [[spoiler:Jayce and Vi attack the Silco’s labs, armed with their iconic weapons to boot, all set to PVRIS and MIYAVI’s ''Snakes'' being an epic team-up between these two, even starting with Vi jumping in to save Jayce.'']]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** Did Vander [[spoiler:really run out of steam when Silco stabbed him in episode 3, or did he just not have it in him to kill his "brother" a second time?]]
** Did Silco [[spoiler:embrace and comfort Powder]] because he truly [[CommonalityConnection empathized with her]] [[spoiler:being "abandonmened" by her sister]]? Or did he just recognize her as a potential pawn and say what she wanted to hear?
*** [[spoiler: Act III seems to imply that his fatherly love for her is very much genuine, [[BecomingTheMask even if it may not have started off that way]]. He completely freaks out when he sees how badly Jinx has been hurt by one of her bombs, and assures her while dying that he would never have sacrificed her for Zaun's independence.]]
*** Similarly, his actions during the climax of episode 9 - [[spoiler: Was he going to shoot Vi in order to sever any connection Jinx had to life other than with him, or was he just trying to shut up the woman hammering his daughter's TraumaButton]]?
** Singed's more human aspects have never been seen before this show. He calls Viktor a kindred spirit in their loneliness, but whether he genuinely empathizes with Viktor is less clear. He takes the boy in as an assistant, and he does seem genuinely disheartened when Viktor walks out after finding the truth about Rio. Furthermore, despite the extremes he goes to to keep the terminally-ill Rio alive, Singed is shown gently comforting her in a flashback before the scene segues to the present, where it's shown how just far he's fallen into his callousness. So, did Singed always perform these heinous experiments ForScience, or [[FallenHero did he genuinely once desire to save others?]][[spoiler: Taken a significant step further when he reveals to Silco that he once had a daughter of his own, and is even shown staring mournfully at a locket picture of his child at the end of the season.]]
** Is Jayce really the intelligent, forward-thinking Man of Progress he's billed as? Or is he [[spoiler: just an impulsive, easily-manipulated ManChild who can't or won't take the long shots if he doesn't have someone propping him up and correcting his mistakes so he doesn't have to do the hard work himself? Given his inability to stay quiet during his trial and how quickly he resorts to suicide, then later how easily he agrees to compromise his principles and ''literally'' hop into bed with Piltover's oligarchs...]]
*** Then again, these goals and flaws might not be completely mutually exclusive. Jayce is clearly willing to skirt or even ''flout'' the law to pursue his dreams -- [[spoiler:The ''entire series'' was kickstarted by Jayce buying magical items he ''knew'' were illegal to own from Benzo, and thus gave Little Man the tip about some Topsider with money to burn]], and he later agrees to [[spoiler:join Vi in destroying the Shimmer factory after the Council refuses to act.]]
** How benevolent ''was'' [[spoiler:Marcus' plan for Vi? 'Cause from the audience's standpoint it looks like it started and ended with tossing her in prison for the rest of her life. Was he really trying to protect her from being killed by Silco, or maybe experimented on by singed? Did he hope to maybe use her against Silco at a later date, or did he just want her off the street and out of mind? And was his claim that Silco would kill her a warning or a ''threat''?]]
** After being [[CurbStompBattle absolutely trounced]] by [[spoiler:Ekko, Jinx sets off one of her own grenades when Ekko briefly hesitates in finishing her off. Did she not consider that she would be caught in the blast herself? If so, was she hoping to [[TakingYouWithMe take Ekko out with her]] out of spite for her enemy, or [[TogetherInDeath to die alongside her last surviving childhood friend]]? Even before she sets off the bomb, she looks slightly regretful and makes no attempt to dodge it.]]
*** A third theory, [[spoiler: based on the fact that Jinx didn't try to use said bomb earlier and there's enough time between her activating it and it actually going off for Ekko to get far enough away that all he gets is a busted leg, is that Jinx was [[DrivenToSuicide trying to kill herself]], possibly so Ekko didn't have to.]]
*** Yet ''another'' theory -- similar to the third -- is that [[spoiler: it wasn't ''Jinx'' who set off the bomb, but ''Powder'': Ekko hesitated to deliver the killing blow to Jinx when he saw her expression and recognized her as Powder instead of Jinx. In this interpretation, Powder, in an unusually lucid moment, chose to [[DyingAsYourself end her life while she was still herself]] rather than go on living as the monstrous Jinx. Whether or not she meant to take Ekko with her is anyone's guess.]]
** In Episode 8, Vi confides in Caitlyn that she used to tell Powder stories about chasing away monsters when they were kids, but that she ran away when a real monster appeared. Was she referring to Silco, who Vi saw had Powder cornered after she walked away from her? Or was she referring to herself for the way she slapped and insulted Powder, then left her completely alone in the world?
** In the final arc, [[spoiler:was Sevika really planning to betray Silco to Finn but changed her mind at the last second after hearing the latter's speech about loyalty, or was she always loyal to Silco and just putting on a show for the conspirators? ''Silco himself'' wasn't sure, as he [[OhCrap loses his composure for a minute]] when she draws her arm blade and slices barely over his head to kill Finn). Or maybe she just wanted to keep Silco's underlings in line so that she could take over after Silco inevitably self-destructed over his relationship with Jinx? The final shot of her lounging in his office and smoking a cigar while recovering from her fight with Vi implies that she might be picking up where he left off.]]
** Does Jinx genuinely believe that Caitlyn is Vi's girlfriend, or at least that one or both is in love with the other, or was she just taunting her?
** Did Jinx really think that Vi would [[spoiler:consider killing Caitlyn to get Powder back, or did she already know Vi would never do it and only presented her with such a SadisticChoice to finally drive it through her head that she's ''not the same little girl'' Vi walked away from that night?]]
*** Bear in mind that Jinx only put this scenario together ''after'' [[spoiler:Singed had to pump her full of [[PsychoSerum Shimmer]] to save her life after her fight with Ekko -- Something he explicitly warned Silco was extremely risky and likely wouldn't leave Jinx the same as she was. So would Jinx have done something like this ''pre''-operation, or did whatever Singed did to bring her back from the brink ''make'' her into the kind of person who would, laying the groundwork for her to become the amoral MadBomber she is in the game?]]
** How much did Vi really mean the justifications she threw at Jayce after he [[spoiler: accidentally killed a child? Her tone makes it clear that she is indeed upset, but is she trying to convince herself as much as him so that they can stay committed to the fight? At the same time, her lines about Silco's rule causing far more innocent deaths than just this one are spoken with even more conviction, so it's possible that her childhood in the undercity, adolescence in prison and hatred of Silco have hardened her against such things. She grew up with all of this as normal, while the privileged Jayce is only just now seeing first-hand.]]
** Sevika advises Silco to give Jinx her space, an odd show of concern given the animosity between the two women and particularly how Sevkia threatens Jinx with Silco getting rid of her and expresses annoyance at how Silco dotes on Jinx to exclusion of other matters. Is this genuine advice, or is she trying to get him to ignore Jinx for a time? If the former, is this a rare show of sympathy for Jinx or is she trying to advise Silco honestly despite her disdain for Jnix? If the latter, is she trying to drive a wedge between them or just trying to get Silco to focus on his duties as Don of the Underworld for a time?
** Caitlyn speaking amicably with a patroness of the brothel she visits with Vi is taken in-universe and out as a sign of her sexuality, but is her awkwardness when she was speaking to a male patron also [[IncompatibleOrientation a sign of such]], or was she fumbling because Vi had put her on the spot and she needed some time to recover?
** Does Ekko actually believe Jinx is BeyondRedemption or is it something he ''wants'' to believe? He tells Vi [[spoiler: Powder]] is gone, but in episode 6 [[spoiler: when he has to fight Jinx, he immediatelly tricks her into reliving happy memory of one of their childhood games - a strategy that relies betting on something of Powder still remaining in Jinx]]. Morever, he [[spoiler: hesitates from finishing Jinx off because for a moment her roughed-up face looks too much like Powder's]]. Some people even analyzed the [[spoiler: explosion on the bridge, coming to a conclusion Ekko must have throw the grenade away, effectively saving Jinx's life.]]

!!The following have their own pages:

** Don't be a [[BigBrotherBully Big Sibling Bully]]. Most of Jinx's least-stable moments are born from reminders of what Mylo used to say to/about Powder, proving how deeply it all cut. She generally tends to fixate on him more than any other member of her family (besides Vi), and her hallucinations usually manifest as him criticizing and insulting her, which in turn drive her to commit her most dangerous and cruel actions. While [[spoiler:accidentally killing her family when trying to help rescue Vander was obviously a big part in shattering her mental state, it's evident that Mylo's regular bullying caused her a great deal of trauma on its own.]]

** ''Listen'' when somebody tells you to stay out of a fight -- Not just for ''your'' safety but also for theirs, especially when you've ''repeatedly'' proven that you're not able to actually ''help'' yet. [[spoiler:How many lives could have been spared -- and how much of her own trauma could have been avoided? -- had Jinx just sat out Vander's rescue mission like Vi told her to?]]

** How benevolent ''was'' [[spoiler:Marcus' plan for Vi? 'Cause from here it looks like it started and ended with tossing her in prison for the rest of her life. Was he really trying to protect her from being killed by Silco, or maybe experimented on by singed? Did he hope to maybe use her against Silco at a later date, or did he just want her off the street and out of mind? And was his claim that Silco would kill her a warning or a ''threat''?]]

*** There's a third theory that [[spoiler: based on the fact Jinx didn't try to use said bomb prior and there's enough time between her activating it and the bomb actually exploding that Ekko was able to get away with only a busted leg, that she was actually [[DrivenToSuicide trying to kill herself]], possibly because she didn't want Ekko to do it.]]
*** Another interpretation similar to the third theory is that [[spoiler: it wasn't Jinx who used the bomb, but Powder (as evidenced by her eyes turning grey, which also caused Ekko to hesitate in the first place). In this interpretation, Powder, in a rare moment of lucidity, chose to end her life as her old self rather than turn back into the monster that was Jinx. Whether she tried to take Ekko with her or knew he'd have time to get away is anyone's guess.]]
** In Episode 8, Vi confides in Caitlyn that she used to chase away monsters for Powder when they were kids and that she ran away when a real monster appeared. Was she referring to Silco, who managed to corner Powder after Vi walked away from her? Or was she referring to herself, for, after revealing her monster by slapping and insulting Powder, leaving Powder alone rather than apologizing and taking her to safety?
** In the final arc, [[spoiler:was Sevika really planning to betray Silco to put Finn in charge and changed her mind from the speech about loyalty he gave, or was she always planning to stay on Silco's side and was just putting on a display for those who would betray him (it's clear that Silco wasn't sure which was which at first as he loses his composure for a minute after she swings her arm blade, nearly missing him to kill Finn). Or is it possible that she just wanted to keep those under Silco in line so that she could take over after Silco inevitably self-destructed with his relationship with Jinx? The final shot of her has her lounging in his office and smoking a cigar while recovering from her fight with Vi.]]

** Did Jinx really think that Vi would [[spoiler:consider killing Caitlyn to make her go back to being Powder, or did she know Vi would never do that and only presented her with such a SadisticChoice to try and convince her that she's changed from being the old Powder and is now different as Jinx?]]
*** An important factor to remember is that Jinx created this scenario right ''after'' [[spoiler:Singed performed the operation that saved her life after her fight with Ekko - something he outright stated was full of risks and wouldn't leave Jinx the same as she was before. So ''would'' Jinx really have done actually such a thing pre-operation or did whatever Singed do to bring her back from the brink of death fully transform her into the kind of person who would create such a dangerous situation, leading her into fully becoming the amoral MadBomber in the games?]]
** How much did Vi really mean the justifications she threw at Jayce after he [[spoiler: accidentally killed a child? It's possible to interpret the tone of her voice that she's as horrified as he is, but is trying to convince herself as much as him so that they can stay committed to the fight. At the same time, her lines about Silco's rule causing far more innocent deaths than just this one are spoken with even more conviction, so it's possible that her childhood in the undercity, time in prison, hatred of Silco really have hardened her to such things that she grew up with as normal, and that the privileged Jayce is only just now seeing first hand.]]

*** Then again, these goals and flaws might not be completely mutually exclusive. Jayce is clearly willing to skirt or even ''flout'' the law to pursue his dreams -- [[spoiler:The ''entire series'' was kickstarted by Jayce buying magical items he ''knew'' were illegal to own from Benzo, and thus gave Little Man the tip about some Topsider with money to burn]], and he later agrees to [[spioiler:join Vi in destroying the Shimmer factory after the Council refuses to act.]]

** Mel is portrayed as an ambiguous character, whose motivations take time to reveal themselves. Charitably, they could be described as enlightened self-interest. But you'd think she was a pure evil harpy manipulating Jayce with her vagina if you asked large segments of the fandom for getting in the way of [[FanPreferredCouple Jayce/Viktor]].

** Don't be a bully to your younger siblings. As an adult, a ''lot'' of Jinx's more unstable moments are motivated by the insecurities put into her head by the comments Mylo used to make about Powder as a child, showing that they deeply affected her. What's more, she fixates on him more than the rest of her family (besides Vi) and repeatedly hallucinates him criticizing and insulting her, which tends to push her into doing some of her more dangerous and villainous behaviors. While [[spoiler:accidentally causing the death of her family when trying to help with saving Vander was obviously a big part in shattering her mental well-being, it's evident that Mylo's regular bullying of her caused a great deal of trauma on its own and left scars she's still not healed from.]]
** In an argument, don't do or say anything you can't take back. [[spoiler:After learning that Powder was responsible for their family getting killed, Vi slaps her hard and calls her a "jinx" during a MomentOfWeakness, [[PartingWordsRegret which remain the last things she says to her for years because Vi is captured before she could apologize]]. By the time she reunites and makes amends, Powder had already become "Jinx" and Silco's right-hand woman.]]
** ''Listen'' when you're told to stay out of the way for not only your safety, but for those you care about. Especially when you've proved that you're not quite skilled enough to be of any help just yet. [[spoiler:Jinx would have spared countless lives and prevented a lot of her own trauma had she just stayed put at home like Vi told her to do when they went to rescue Vander.]]

** Did Vander relent out of guilt when [[spoiler: strangling Silco for the second time, or did he run out of strength after being stabbed?]]
** Did Silco embrace and comfort [[spoiler:Powder]] because he truly [[CommonalityConnection saw himself in her]] [[spoiler:following her "abandonment"]]? Or did he simply say what the girl wanted to hear, recognizing he had a potential pawn he could manipulate on his hands?
*** [[spoiler: Act III seems to suggest his feelings of parental affection are very much genuine, though whether they started that way [[BecomingTheMask is debatable]]. He panics when he sees how badly hurt Jinx has been by one of her bombs, and admits while dying that he was never planning on taking the deal for Zaunite independence if it meant sacrificing her life.]]
*** Similarly, his actions during the climax of episode 9 - [[spoiler: did he shoot at Vi in order to silence Jinx's last shred of doubt regarding her new identity, or did he see how distressed Jinx was becoming as Vi unintentionally hammered on his daughter's TraumaButton]]?
** The human aspects of Singed never seen before this show. He admits he and Viktor are kindred spirits in their loneliness, but whether this means he has genuine empathy for Viktor is vague; he takes Viktor in as an assistant and does seem genuinely disheartened when Viktor becomes disillusioned with his experiments and leaves him. Furthermore, despite the extreme means he goes through to save the terminally ill Rio's life, Singed is shown gently comforting the creature in a flashback before the scene segues to the present, where it's shown how far he's fallen in his callousness. This leaves the interpretation of whether Singed simply always did his heinous experiments ForScience or [[FallenHero genuinely once desired to save others from the frailty of life.]][[spoiler: Taken a significant step further when he reveals to Silco he too was once a father and understands his anguish, and is even seen grieving for his child on a pendant in solitude.]]
** Is Jayce actually the intelligent, forward-thinking Man of Progress? Or is he [[spoiler: a weak-willed, easily manipulated and impulsive nerd who thinks he can't possibly succeed at his dreams if he doesn't have others propping him up and correcting his mistakes so he doesn't have to do the hard work to support and achieve those dreams? Given how he was willing to mope, angst and commit suicide in the wake of the Kirraman's lab accident and his inability to stay quiet during the trial, and how he'll compromise his principles and ''literally'' get in bed with the Piltover oligarchs while not pursuing his and Viktor's original dreams, one has to wonder.]]
*** It's simplistic to assume those goals/flaws are mutually exclusive traits. One of the most important examples is that Jayce is willing to be a vigilante to realise his goals, as seen when he experiments with hextech in the first place (even going to the undercity to purchase supplies, which is arguably what sets up the *entire plot* in the first place [[spoiler:(if Jayce hadn't bought the supplies for his illegal studies specifically from Benzo, Little Man wouldn't have given Vi's gang the tip to raid his place)]]) and shown later when he and Vi invade the Shimmer factory, which ultimately results in the death of a child and Jayce's subsequent HeelRealisation.
** How benevolent was [[spoiler:Marcus's plan for Vi? It appears to have started and ended with throwing her in prison for life. Did he really want to protect her from being killed or experimented on by Silco, did he hope to later use her against him following his betrayal, or did he just want her off the street and out of mind? Was his statement that Silco will kill her a warning or a threat?]]
** After being knocked down and beaten by [[spoiler:Ekko, Jinx sets off one of her own bombs when Ekko briefly hesitates. Did she know that she might be caught in the blast? If so, was she pulling a TakingYouWithMe out of spite at her enemy or out of guilt and a sick sense of togetherness, wanting to die alongside her last surviving childhood friend? Even before she sets off the bomb, she does look regretful and makes no attempt to dodge the bomb.]]

** Jinx's personality as the criminal Jinx is a murderous, shattered reflection of a broken little girl... but she's such a [[RefugeInAudacity daring]], [[LaughablyEvil charismatic]], and overall compelling character that many fans would admit to liking her most as a badass VillainProtagonist, and even being glad she [[ThenLetMeBeEvil takes the final plunge into evil]], even if the circumstances are a complete TearJerker.

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: After the show's first season, Jinx/Lux gained an oddly strong following despite the fact they have never met in the show or canon lore of the game[[note]]Though they are a rather close leader/lancer duo in the non-canon [[MagicalGirlAU Star Guardian alternate universe]][[/note]]. They are in a couple of promotional ads together where Jinx kidnaps and forces Lux to be on her team, but that's very much ''not'' canon. The main draw is that they are two young women who are scorned by their respective societies for being who they are. It also has a similar OppositesAttract feel to Vi/Caitlyn as given Jinx is an (almost) unrepentant murderer and Lux is something of a TokenGoodTeammate for Demacia's ruling class.
