You Look Weak

Arcane Season 1
Episode 2

[bananatiergod]

That's what I like about Sevika: She's a ruthless brute, but she's not stupid and clearly cares enough about Zaun to call out Vander's compliance with the Enforcers

[JabamiLain]

I get he wants to protect his people, but Sevika has a point.

[KEMETGaming]

Now I want to see Sevika's reaction when she sees him as a fearless beast.

[neofulcrum]

I can see both arguments here: They are not wrong for wanting to fight back with how authoritative and aggressive the enforcers are. But Vander knows the price of going to war with a city way more advanced than theirs. That same fight took Vi and Jinx’s parents away and achieved nothing.

[Archedgar]

She was absolutely right, and also telling to his face that he's failing I.e. *"You look weak"* before turning her back on him is not a betrayal, that's called resigning. Sevika was never a traitor.

[riyuto]

Gonna hand it over to Sevika, despite it all, she has a clear vision and truly cares for the future of Zaun. She sees it to the end till she’s the one representing Zaun at the council.

[ylangray]

0:53 The whistle is everything. And it's gonna be my new notification sound.

[eotwkdp]

Prolong war is not something they can do

[kevind]

and yet in the end savika ends up on the piltoven council because she helped save piltover.

her first to last scene is just testimite to how tipsy turvy this story ended up being.

[hrygjkz]

In hindsight Sevika's own failures to rally nevermind organise the Lains into doing anything makes this qoute age like milk. She ended up looking if not being weak to some extent the whole season 1 & 2 as it becomes appearate her sphere of influence is useful/at its most potent only when there's a figure for the people to march behind.


Unlike; Silco JINX Ekko and even Vander, Sevika has no distinguished loyalists to her code of ideals or practice. Having served by the side of most of not all of them from the start to the end of thier reigns which is dubious of her own loyalties to any of them say the least of it.


Considering that Sevika served alongside every leader of the Lains but has never actually assumed the role herself. Even after the finale where we haven't as of yet acquired any evidence she isn't just anything more than a representative of the poeple of the Lains while the more trusted and established Ekko serves as its leader.


To be fair, Vander does look weak in the instance but I feel the confusion lays in the kind of weakness he's displaying. Vander is by no means a threat to be taken lightly and arguebly their must be an extremely supernaturally monsterous capacity for battle and war that plays part in he's achievement of the moniker: hound of the underground. So what weaknesses could Sevika be referring to ? He's caution, I believe the weakness Sevika is referring to is Vanders caution in their joint knowledge, that victory over top side is more than just possible but he'd rather not knowing casualties would be high. As fair as he's concerned the Lains is enough, whatever top side has to offer must be bought in blood and it's not worth the hassle when peace is always a possibility. A peace that doesn't come with unreasonable compromise or lead and tears as penance.

In reality sevika would at least get slapped around but it’s a modern show we’re talking about. “Ya can’t hurt wumen!!!!”
