Silco finds dying Jinx and asks Singed to save her - Arcane Episode 8

[juanma]

It's amazing how Vander and Silco both finds their humanity in the same place, after being completely ruthless ...

[MycoArsenic]

1:50 “Are you prepared to lose her?”

I feel like Singed didn’t mean about the chance of her dying, but instead she won’t be the same Jinx as Silco once known. Her final transformation into the insane Jinx we all know.

[adanmartinez]

"Please understand this is for your own sanity" - Proceeds to put him to sleep

Even as a mad scientist, Singed understood that seeing the process would obliterate Silco's mind. Shows a little empathy from a former father, and some humanity coming from a mad Scientist. God, this show..

[wellnessunleashed]

Silco didn't reach for the Gemstone when he saw it is the part that got me. It shown that he care more about Jinx than the thing that can make his dream come true.

[ryderls]

Lol, despite being on opposite moral ends, Vander and Silco were both pretty great fathers.

[aaronlocsin]

What I’ve observed is if you will look closely silco has 2 big body guards he could easily give jinx to them to carry but it was too important so he carried jinx himself. Also when he busts in singed lab his hair is disheveled and out of breathe hinting he ran desperately to save his daughter

[easternlights]

0:23 - when Silco looks up, the disfigured half of his face is obscured by Jinx's head. The monstrous side of him is gone because he's holding his daughter.

[yuushouma]

0:27 Maybe I'm reading way too much into it, but knowing how the show's sometimes very subtle symbolism goes unnoticed but does this not symbolize Jinx being hurt and Silco caring for her while Vi was behind "bars" but now she's actually out, but still cant reach her? So in a way, she is half outside, and half inside the "prison" still. Damn. The shot looked so specific and weird I had to theorize lmao.

I’m gonna write down every little detail I noticed about Silco in this sequence

1. When Silco first sees jinx his breathing is erratic and his eyes are slightly darting around

2. When Silco sees jinx has the gemstone his lip quivers and his mouth opens slightly (To me at least this meant he saw she did this to get back the gemstone for him and he’s probably feelin hella guilty)

3. When Silco stares at Piltover his eyes are very clearly full of rage

4. When Silco is with singed his body language is far from his usual calm and collected persona, hes frantic and jittery

5. When Jinx is on the operating table Silco seems to be thinking twice about letting singed put shimmer into her body (shown to us when he says “she won’t die, she can’t”)

10/10 villain 1000/10 dad :, ( especially when u think about how most of what he did was for jinx

[talynhastime]

When he kissed her forehead 🥺 you don’t do that to someone you only see as a tool. You just don’t.

“It was all for nothing.”
You can see Silco is thinking the same thing. He finally has the gemstone, but he would rather have his daughter.

It’s also a beautiful mirror of Episode 3. Vi left her, and Silco saved her.

[danidisu]

even if we think about Singed as a mad scientist, he was once a father, he knows what is loosing a daughter,
and i loved the part when he slept Silco, so he could heal Jinx properly.
He´s devote to the science, and through what´s morally wrong, but he remembers the pain of losing his child. as you can see at the end of the episode.

...i think on that moment, he really wanted to heal jinx. To Silco not feel the same lost.

[emberphoenix]

The little part I can't get over, is when he's staring down at the gem stone, his fingers are gently moving in her hair. Big unconscious sign of affection.

[JustMe-urvz]

man even tho silco is corrupted by hatred but a great dad i wish my parents were like him😔

[cheesecaketastesgood]

A hero with sacrifice you for the world a villain will sacrifice the world for you
Really shows I’m this

[lastgirl]

I see a parallel between Silco here and Vi in the opening scene on the bridge, walking past bodies and seeing a loved one on the ground. Vi couldn’t save her parents, but Silco reached Jinx in time and could save her.

[DarkSpartaneme]

Singed giving so much shimmer like it's just some casual anesthetic and not a powerful addictive drug.

[bel]

My favourite part of this scene is that before Silco even spots Jinx, he looks genuinely horrified at the scene on the bridge. The bodies, the blood. Even upon seeing Markus he looks devastated. He has seen no end of brutality, he is used to the roughness of surviving in the Undercity (he was hardly phased when Sevika came in a bloody mess to tell him Vi was alive) but this right here is what seems to be his realisation- that if they keep going like this, the Chembarons and the Council, people on both sides will continue to die for them. For me personally this right here is when Silco decides he will now talk for peace, and prove he is ready to give anything to end the war——

Except his daughter.

[funwithriofunwithrio]

Ok lets look at this detail... when jinx is about to die

silco is the one who only carry her even tho he had 2 muscular man on his side and it would be very effecient if they carry her but nope...

silco is the only one who carry her until he reach singed to heal her

meaning he show that much care he had with jinx and broke his character for being a crime lord and act like parent just for her
