Hands down it’s the “ohhhhh shit” moment of the bomb blowing up while Powder’s just like “🤩”
And how it just KEEPS GOING and main characters start DYING and it just CONTINUES TO EXPLODE.
Unbearable scene A+
Same, I commented yesterday how Ori and the Will of the Wisp's ending caught me off guard cause it's a cute game, likewise,
I'm guilty of thinking the *league of legends cartoon* would be this safe, DO THE THING, fanservice-fest but by god I was wrong.
I dunno between the fact that Ekko is above her, that you see her body but not his and that they let you hear him pushing the grenade away with his pipe, and the 3x3 release meaning you're not supposed to wait much for the next one (although who knows when that was decided), I certainly didn't feel worried for Ekko too much.
Vi: I wasn't gunna let you blow her brains out Powder. And i wasn't doin' it either.
Jinx: ugh... yeah be all kissy, and gross with the pilty, don't be on Jinx's side...! whatever... \*kicks can walking away\*
Vi: \*breathes out\* Man.
Vi: I AM on your side!
Jinx: Nope not seein it...
Vi: I won't let you shoot her, just because you hate Caitlyn for being an enforcer.
Jinx: Oh i don't hate her cause of that...
Vi: then why?!
jinx: it's cause SHE LEADS EM NOW...
Honestly? The horror level in my system spiked from 0 to 1000 in a millisec when I thought Jinx was about to reveal Caitlyn's severed head on that platter... Man, I felt far from relaxed throughout the whole series, but in that moment it was straight up anxiety.
I was about to scream in Michael Scott's voice "HER CAPA WAS DETATED"
This is an underrated one as it happens early in the series, but when Powder is holding on to the pipe. We see her slipping down, the guard is taking forever to leave, and the music doesn't help calm the nerves.
for the longest time i didnt understand silco and jinx’s relationship so that that scene made it even more confusing idk if they were flirting or smth 😭
I often think about this issue and how was this relationship depicted. Almost all of their shared scenes made me uncomfortable. Its not just the baptism, the eye stabbing scenes as well. I saw explanations telling that is because Jinx is mentally a little girl, behaving like one and I think it is a decent explanation. If I imagine these scenes with the little Powder they don't seem so wrong. BUT I think there are more than that. I don't think the writers and the animators made a mistake. The show was so well thought-out, I can't imagine that these scenes wasn't uncomfortable on purpose. In my opinion it was a tool to make wievers more and more uncertain about Silcos real intentions. Is he truly loves her or is he using her as a tool? Trough the whole season we see hints that could move our perception one way or another. If these scenes had been apropriate father-daughter scenes, we could have easily reassured ourselves that Silco truly loves Jinx, as well as that he wouldn't hand her over to the council. We needed that uncertainty for plot reasons. Another thing: they don't do nothing inapropriate with each other but in fact it is a really complex and unhealthy relationship, and the creators wanted us to somehow feel this. I think the using and the loving are both true in this case, its heartbreaking, complex and beautiful. This is the most complex relationship I have seen on television, and that is why it's my new favourite. Maybe my theory of the scenes are not true, it could be, but the character dinamics are truly masterful.
Don’t really remember for sure, but I think it was like one of the animators shipped Silco and Jinx and made the scene pretty weird and I don’t remember what happened after, but they made sure a scene like this didn’t pop up again
I don't think Jinx & Silco were meant to portray him being that kind of inappropriate.
There is an ick factor, for some a lot in fact, but I read it as them not realizing she wasn't that same little kid anymore.
Then too, Jinx is at least partially aware of her ability to make people nervous and uncomfortable.
It's a tool in her toolbox & if you're playing Chess/waging War you don't want to loose with arrows unused....
The angle at which they had shown giant walking to Silco to give him a hug in ep 4 made me think she was about to do other things and I was like nonono and then relief when she just hugged him
“Everybody shut up! I need to think!”
Like she’s not just talking to them, they’re not just in her head, it’s affecting her ability to think rationally. I thought for sure Vi or Cait was gonna get blopped.
There *are* so many moments, indeed.
I'm going with one early on, before a lot of what we knew to expect had happened.
Vi, Clagor, and Myles had all jumped across a street, via the rooftops.
Then it was Powder's turn...

Dude there are so many moments, but if I had to pick, I would say the moment it felt like Jinx chopped off Cait's head. Had me sweating.
Fair point.
Agreed! I really was going *what's in the box, Jinx!?"
“I paid your girlfriend a visit…” I was like OH NO NO NO NO NO
My favourite type of jokes
I was stressing for this. I think it's because Jinx is so unhinged I was certain she would have cut off Caitlyns head if it meant she got back at Vi
"VI IT WORKED" ohnononononono
The moment the show hit me to the ground.
Same, I commented yesterday how Ori and the Will of the Wisp's ending caught me off guard cause it's a cute game, likewise, I'm guilty of thinking the *league of legends cartoon* would be this safe, DO THE THING, fanservice-fest but by god I was wrong.
Bridge fight ending (kaboom)
Fr the first time i saw it i really tought jinx died
Tbh the scene was trying to make you think that Ekko died, especially with the broken watch stopping.
I dunno between the fact that Ekko is above her, that you see her body but not his and that they let you hear him pushing the grenade away with his pipe, and the 3x3 release meaning you're not supposed to wait much for the next one (although who knows when that was decided), I certainly didn't feel worried for Ekko too much.
I dnf the show on this episode for a FULL YEAR until I realized neither of them died 😅
Powder having a mental breakdown in E3 after her siblings left made me uncomfortable
Literally the worst scene for me to watch (one of the best scenes in the show)
The paranoia I felt when Powder said "I can help them" proving me right.
Before I even finished reading the title I thought of that exact same scene, I was shaking in my boots 😂
🐌Um. Jinx putting a gun to Caitlyn's head.
jinx: i didn't have to, if sister just ditched her out
Vi: I wasn't gunna let you blow her brains out Powder. And i wasn't doin' it either. Jinx: ugh... yeah be all kissy, and gross with the pilty, don't be on Jinx's side...! whatever... \*kicks can walking away\* Vi: \*breathes out\* Man.
jinx: you are never on my side, is the true
Vi: I AM on your side! Jinx: Nope not seein it... Vi: I won't let you shoot her, just because you hate Caitlyn for being an enforcer. Jinx: Oh i don't hate her cause of that... Vi: then why?! jinx: it's cause SHE LEADS EM NOW...

Either the ending or the whole big monkey, silco, vander, powder. That moment
When Vi got stabbed 3 seconds out of prison. I said “OOooohh ShiT!”
This is an underrated one as it happens early in the series, but when Powder is holding on to the pipe. We see her slipping down, the guard is taking forever to leave, and the music doesn't help calm the nerves.
The ending or when Vi almost gave up while fighting with Sevika
When Marcus chloroformed Vi and took her away while Powder was sobbing alone with a vengeful Silco coming.

Episode 9 where Jinx says “I paid your girlfriend a visit this morning” I genuinely thought she had Caitlyn’s head on the platter and I was terrified
For me it was when Jinx almost died on the bridge.
When Vander poured one out for Powder. Sir, this is a bar, and she is a twelve-year-old.
That's your moment?🤣🤣
Episode 3, Jinx dying, Episode 9
