What is a quote from Arcane that resonated with you the most?
Mine would have to be Ekko's qoute:
"Sometimes taking a step forward means leaving a few things behind."
It sticks with me hard because of my life experiences, and because he had to leave a life he could only dream of having behind. The soundtrack of the episode, the mood, the setting, the characters, the story of it. Perfect.
Convince me otherwise but this episode describes everything I don't have in my life, and it perfectly depicts everything that Ekko wanted, except it's not his timeline. What made me truly feel for him was that he was in love with that version of Powder, and that he most definitely wanted to be with her but he had to get back to his own reality, and that was something I admire about him.
Jayce may have seen what was very much hell, and may have managed to crawl out of it barely sane and traumatised. Ekko left heaven so that he could save countless people, I'd argue and say that he had the stronger will compared to Jayce.
The soundtrack, the song playing when they dance together is what struck me. It's essentially translated to having someone in your life who's both a curse and a blessing, and it perfectly fits what Ekko had with that version of Powder: that he loved who she was and what she did in that reality, but the realisation that he'd have to leave her and the rest of everything behind. In my opinion, that's the worst feeling anyone could experience: having to walk away from a perfect life, with everything you could ever want, even if you wanted it with all your heart.
And when he ended up alone, it made my heart break because he's basically all alone now. Jinx is still alive but she's most likely left the country, Vi in off in Piltover with Caitlyn, Heimerdinger is pretty much dead (not accurate to his lore since his kind are immortal and just spawn back in their home city, look it up), and everyone else that he knew is basically dead. He's all alone. In my opinion, he had the worst fate; believing that Jinx is dead, and without Vi he doesn't many people he can trust aside from his people and the Firelights, and with the memory of his perfect life.
ABSOLUTE CINEMA.
