Starting point is 00:01:04 all right gang another gripping episode uh a bit of a mindbender too especially uh with the circumstances colliding and the storylines that we're checking back in with too i mean i feel like the ambessa stuff and all the you know evolution of Victor and how that relates to Jace's mission is a whole is a headful. The last episode was so emotional and so sensory in so many ways. And this one is

Starting point is 00:01:39 certainly that, but it's also just heavy on the big developments. What did you think? I would say I agree with everything. Your observations. I think there's great scenes throughout as usual.

Starting point is 00:01:55 And of course the animation, as gorgeous as ever. And a lot of exciting developments and some sad ones like my favorite moments are still the more emotional ones like like the catharsis with kate and vye getting it on reuniting as lovers and going all the way in that dirty-ass prison cell that's good going that was quite a scene is yeah it's a little bit more um explicit than i mean it's like not that explicit it's explicit in the sense of we've never scenes like that and they're a game joke and i was like oh they're really going there and i'm not used to it in like american animation it's different you want yeah unless i'm like watching invincible or something

Starting point is 00:02:37 sure sure i mean it is i believe it is a french animation studio but yeah something but developed and authored for american audiences you know yeah yeah and it's the kind of thing where it's it feels different when you're in animation versus like oh you're in a room with the camera you know grabbing which is what i tend to do there's well of course just just be just like mine guys yeah i got my camera here let's get it on let's get some angles bust out some long lenses get some soft focus going uh but you know

Starting point is 00:03:04 yeah in a situation like that they have to meticulously craft every one of those angles and two i mean i think they had some some fun i mean it was a very sensuous moment but they did have some fun with their creative framing out of any of the like it's right on that line where you don't see anything really but there's enough there where you're like they really observed

Starting point is 00:03:25 to this lovemaking moment if i If I had this on, like, VHS when I was four years old, I would have definitely... Pawsing and scrubbing. Oh, my God, the little mermaid castle is shaped like a, you know... It's shaped like joy and wonder. Did they spell that in the wind and line king? You guys aren't talking about? Easter eggs.

Starting point is 00:03:41 Anyway, yeah, I like that scene, and I like, I mean, I like the episode a lot. I do think, and maybe this will play different on like a complete watch versus right now. Admittedly, I am a little tired. Stomach isn't pain, too. And I greatly injure my knee at the gym. I hear it to an excellent today. You are Victor. We need to get you in a cocoon.

Starting point is 00:04:08 There's no other time to get you like in some kind of otherworldly god form so you can fix your broken body. There's a good order to do this. Gotta leave town. So I'm like, but I am wondering, I did feel that this was the first episode in season two. where there was a case of a bit of like, oh, because they want to, they're wrapping up the show that some stuff was a little

Starting point is 00:04:35 rushed. You know, like there were parts with Mel that I think could have been fleshed out a little a little bit more breathing room. Sure. And I think the part that actually kind of does bum me out a little

Starting point is 00:04:51 bit is Victor and Jace because season one that is such a big part of season one is their relationship and i feel like we've kind of got in a really short film version of what really could have been a strong emotional conflict for the two of them and the way how it's been unfolding and i i feel like they've been kind of not really landing as strong there and so yeah it's like it's it's technically there everything is technically there uh it is just more about like the the the

Starting point is 00:05:26 percolating, the gestating, the breathing of these things, and it does feel like a case of we're going to wrap this up, so we got to wrap it up. And it's stuff like that as just a person who really loves that dynamic. And yes, Mel has changed and Jace has changed. And Victor is something else entirely. Everyone's changed. And I think there's room for great conversation to be had. And while you've got some good conversation dialogue moments, just like when Mel and Jace are on the bridge and he's like you'll never be passenger

Starting point is 00:06:03 I thought that was a really nice exchange the exchange of Amessa and Mel I like the nuance there of her starting off like oh my god daughter you're alive bitch don't talk to me that way you know yeah well it's like Dan

Starting point is 00:06:19 she's the mom she's the warrior mom I love that so yeah I think there's a lot of great there's still great moments It's still pretty much a great episode I do think there's like one thing in particular that I'm like I kind of feel like we've been missing some of that Thank you to Huell for sponsoring today's video

Starting point is 00:06:36 Now guys I'm going to give you all the God's honest truth Of how this sponsorship came to be Sponsorship came to be We got contacted about basically partnering up with Huell Before we agreed to anything The very first thing I said was I would like to try the product first I did a Instagram post on our Real Region

Starting point is 00:06:54 X one. It was the first time you see me trying the Hewell product. Basically going, like, hey, we might not partner with them. This is not a paid Instagram post, but I just wanted to try it since a lot of you guys asked for, like, health recommendations now and the know kind of what I take only because of the fact that I'm vegetarian. I have very limited protein options. So I gave it a shot and ended up loving it. Primarily the chocolate one. Wow, this is really, this is a really great one. One of the best things about it is that, yes, it's prepackaged. And a lot of times when it comes to like the prepackaged bottles, I'm not a big fan of them normally, which he got me drinking on camera. camera is one of these which takes a very long time to put together and can often get messy and it's just not aesthetically pleasing but i'm trying to pack like a lot of vitamins and fiber protein the best part about huel is a lot of what i try to pack into this one giant shake is already available in this little bottle often taste better than what i can actually assemble myself it actually tastes great it's got a high protein intake count as well and you know what bread new bottle if you guys can see it's filled to the top is how good it takes Now normally what you want to do is spread it out, but if you want it in one go, it is just as good. It tastes really freaking good. Thank you so much response from this video. The one thing they want me to say is this is you can get 15% off Huell today with code rejects at Huel.com slash Rejects. Fuel your best performance with Huell today. day they are great and i am already almost out of the many bottles they sent me if you guys do go

Starting point is 00:08:29 check them out at huel.com slash rejects you'll see they got a whole bunch more items available as well and if they taste anything as good as this i'm going to be a very happy customer for a very very long time so join me on this health journey these are the two plot lines that make my head swim a little bit more and i feel like in episodes where you only have one of them as a primary focus it's easier to balance than when you have them both as the dominant force of the episode like all the end best of stuff with the black rose and then everything with victor and jace like i i would agree like i feel like with victor and jace part of what i have been kind of craving is some kind of it almost and we'll wait to see how episode nine plays out but it almost feels like

Starting point is 00:09:09 you could have added one more episode to act three so that we could have like a true debate of some kind like a meeting of the minds between jace and victor jace is so resolved and he is so in physical action mode where I feel like for, like you said, all their history, all their growth together, the fact that they, you know, were working side by side and in harmony for so long and so significantly to beget these results, you know,

Starting point is 00:09:35 on both sides, it seems like it would have been nice to pay it off with, it's, we were sitting there going, you asked out loud, like, who do you side with? And it is a compelling argument. They're doing well enough that I'm like, God, I don't know. But the show was really making, I feel like the show made the choice for us. Yeah. And I feel like, you know, with what Jace has seen, I mean, yes, that is certainly enough to make anybody come back and be like, we got to stop this.

Starting point is 00:09:58 But also with what they've introduced in terms of like potential alternate timelines and things. And yeah, him being led here by this mystical figure from, you know, who we met in the first episode of the show. Like there are questions I have that I have faith that they'll touch on, but there are also things where it does feel a little bit less, yeah, like fully. rounded out as of now and with ambessa too like there's a good amount of mystery there they don't give they haven't given you the full context of like you know exactly what her involvement with the black rose has been an exactly kind of what foot she's on in terms of the mystical side of thing yeah but you know that that was a bit of a conversation I felt was pretty quick with the witch when

Starting point is 00:10:41 she's like getting the information I'm like oh I guess she made her decision yeah and I have I wonder I have heard, just people online speculate that Arcane, the League of Legends, TV iteration may continue in a story about Noxas, which makes me wonder if we will get more expansion on that stuff in a series about Noxas. I, okay, I started to interrupt. I really, I think this was, out of every episode in season two, I felt like every episode, it's like they released them in an axe, right? Three episodes at a time. But it's not like a lot of other Netflix shows We're like, just get to the next one

Starting point is 00:11:20 Just get to the next one I think every individual episode Had so much like of a of its own story To really offer As just a complete story for that episode And this felt like a lot of like We're moving the plot It felt like the most transitory

Starting point is 00:11:39 Yeah, the most like yeah We gotta move a bunch of things So that we can get to the big finale Yeah, yeah So I'm like I'm hoping that that maybe this is that Netflix one actually where we're like oh no we should just watch the next one right away

Starting point is 00:11:50 instead because like the other ones I'm like oh no I feel like we should stop and talk about on this one I'm like I kind of feel like we should just watch the next one because maybe then we will not even have these opinions or questions about certain things and I was a tad there's parts about the Victor storyline

Starting point is 00:12:06 that I'm a tad confused on that I feel like a bit stupid about where I'm going I feel like there's something I'm not getting that other people are going to get that I'm not getting and I feel stupid because there's a camera porn. I mean, I should get this. Yeah, I know. I feel the same in a lot of ways, but I think that and sure, I mean, you know, we'll see what

Starting point is 00:12:24 the people comment and stuff and I'm sure on a second viewing things will be more smooth, but it does like, there have been episodes that we've watched hitherto up till now where I have been like, okay, I'm not fully clear on every detail, but I get the main gist that I need to

Starting point is 00:12:40 get, whereas this episode is the one that has left me being like, wait a minute, I think I need go look at some of this stuff again or go refresh. And like, you know, with especially Jace, you know, you have that dramatic device of the fact that in Act 2 when you see him, he's not in a lot of it, then he comes back and he's on this mission. And that's jarring and that's supposed to create this tension of mystery that we're getting reveals upon and explanations upon now.

Starting point is 00:13:03 But, yeah, it doesn't feel as substantial as it could up till this point. But we'll see where we land. I get Jace. I mean, what he went through in the prior episode, I really understand why he's so 100% gung-ho based off what he was privy to. No, totally. It's more the balancing of that whole story. Not his personal motivation so much as the balancing out of that entire storyline.

Starting point is 00:13:30 I think the thing that I missed is why Victor would agree to the Mbessa request. That's the part that I'm like, why would he do that? And I think there's something I totally missed. And I feel like I'm paying attention as much as possible. I was even quieter this time. And I'm like, I feel like there's something that just completely flew over my head of why. Or maybe we're not supposed to know. Well, there's that.

Starting point is 00:13:55 I mean, we might not be supposed to know. And I can. And I, and in the back of my mind, I could be like, well, maybe because of his position, he has to have way more, you know, vast context. Yeah. So like, maybe he's agreeing because her plans ultimately aren't even. going to really matter or factor in when it comes to what he's actually like the plane he's actually working on like if she if he upgrades all of her soldiers like are they really going

Starting point is 00:14:21 about her command or are they going to be like completely concerned with wholly other things now for having been enlightened and evolved and whatever else um but yeah these are these are fair questions but the art i mean still beautiful the mood the tone and and like the jinx vye and kate stuff was all uh quality as well and uh yeah still very much still very qualitative still didn't like bring the show down any points for me i still really love it no yeah yeah and it definitely begs you to i'm just excited to go rewatch all this now once it's done so uh so yeah

Starting point is 00:14:54 leave us your thoughts on episode eight and uh get ready because the finale is next up thank you all for joining us and we'll catch you soon pieces pandemic jones what has not been said about you pandemic jones a lot Probably. I don't know your childhood. I don't know who your mom is. I don't know if you're tall or if you're short. I don't know if you have any siblings. A quick wit or a quick temper.

Starting point is 00:15:20 I don't know if you've ever had a... I don't know what you've really done in your life. I would join the pandemic, you know... The pandemic pile. Yeah, that'd be fun. Oh, yeah. I just have no clue really about a lot about you, actually. Now that I think about it.

Starting point is 00:15:39 You haven't been shouting you out every month. kind of making up a whole narrative about you. That's right. It's usually not very positive leaning. We even gave you your name. It's like we are authoring your whole reality. We really did give him Pandemic Jones, didn't he? We did.

Starting point is 00:15:50 So let me get this straight. If PJ pledges to anybody, is it Pandemic Jones? Or is he PJ here and we just call him Pandemic Jones? I'm pretty sure that on Patreon if he pledges to anybody, and if his username on YouTube, in fact, I'm pretty sure it's always Pandemic Jones. We have authored this person's existence. We have turned to Paul into Pandemic.

Starting point is 00:16:10 terrible first name nickname that's that's terrible yeah yeah like what if you were like drinking buddies we were at a bar and i want to introduce you and i just call you know how you call your buddies by her nickname like this pandemic over here and damn how awful of like a of a nickname people wouldn't get it people would be like what what's his name anyway happy Thanksgiving pandemic yeah
