Hailee Steinfelds Voice Acting Hurt Me - Tumblr Posts

Things in Arcane I Think are Underappreciated

I love that Jinx is a brilliant inventor. It really makes you question what she could have been if she’d been given an actually good life and education. She get so far with the limited resources she has with making tech to harness the crystal.

Vi’s line “It's hard to check up on people from inside a concrete cell.” was delivered so heartbreakingly. You could hear her voice was about to crack at the end. You could hear the sadness and desperation. Hailee Steinfeld is an amazing voice actress. (So is everyone in this show for that matter)

also her delivery of “not all of them” when asked if she believes the topsiders are the source of all her problems. That one hurt as well especially with her seeing visions of a younger more innocent Powder.

I really love Mel’s arc. By the end of the season she rejects her Medarda heritage and fights for peace instead of war. At the start of the season proving to her family she was fit to be a Medarda was all she cared about but by the end she lets it go. (The symbolism with her covering her painting in gold and removing her ring to show this rejection of her heritage were great)

I also love how in the show Vi is associated with the song enemy by imagine dragons whereas Jinx is associated with the song guns for hire by woodkid. Those songs fit them really well and were used so well in the show.

In episode 9, after Vi and Jayce almost fight and Jayce leaves, Vi stands over the body of the dead kid and looks upset. She does care that a kid was killed. She acted otherwise to try and stop Jayce from going back to the piltover policy of doing nothing to help the trenchers. Death hasn’t stopped effecting Vi despite how much of it she has seen.

Caitlyn’s struggle to do any of the parkour that Vi does so easily. (This legitimately made me laugh out loud)

I think Caitlyn’s character outside of her relationship with Vi is a bit underappreciated too. Caitlyn became an enforcer against her family’s wishes and went out of her way to try and understand the trenchers. She learned of the corruption within Piltover and resolved to work to change that and root it out. And unlike Jayce she doesn’t back down when pressured to let the corruption, however “minor”, happen. Caitlyn truly cares about others even the people ravaged by shimmer that the people in Piltover ignore. Caitlyn is a great character in her own right.
