man this piece of media i like that's bad and sucks would be so cool and awesome if it wasnt bad and didnt suck. unfortunately,
what if we were both SCIENTISTS and saved each other from SUICIDE and worked in close quarters for a DECADE but our project turned out to be EVIL and one of us got involved in POLITICS while the other got involved in DRUGS because he is DYING and one of us got EXPLODED and then RESURRECTED but left to become JESUS while the other was transported to another DIMENSION and had to endure narrative PARALLELS before vowing to KILL his friend because he came back WRONG and what if we ended up ASTRAL PROJECTING and finally ACCEPTING OURSELVES all while saving the world as PARTNERS??? WHAT THEN??
bold of movie studios to think anything live-action could be an improvement on the original animated material
Every time someone draws fanart where Viktor is crouching (thigh to calf) with the leg that’s in the brace, bbno$ loses a year off his life
There's something so perverse about how Jayce is paraded around in white and red and gold when his House colors are clearly shades of blues and browns.
Especially because the more he is used and controlled by the council as a whole, the more he is plastered about as some figurehead or poster boy of Piltover's progresses, the more he is draped in the gilding of false colors.
We actually never get to see him wearing his own House colors past his flashback with the mage, in which the majority of his little outfit is made up of the more humble color scheme.
The only thing he actually still owns in his house colors is the blanket he gives to Viktor, which can be seen in his childhood room and is made of the same material his mother wore during the blizzard for warmth.
Edit to add:
I'm adding this to the original post so y'all don't assume I just didn't analyze the literal BEST Jayce outfit in the whole series.
It's a mourning shroud.
While the highlights may have some blue to them (blue highlighting is very common in animation to keep things from looking dull or muddy) the midtone on his shirt is actually in the yellow field.
Also, no. The Talis House symbol is not red. It's brown and gold (sometimes with white).
Any red relating to the Talis symbol is BECAUSE of the color corruption of Jayce, not in spite of it.
The outfit still has meaning, but as I said in the post, he NEVER goes back to his family colors after being paraded around in the red, gold, and white.
This outfit is black, red, and silver. His armor is black and gold with an off white coat (to show that he's still doing this in a way for Piltover as well, probably.)
It's and end and new beginning. It's a rebirth.
Not a return.
I love art that has Viktor is some sort of open back shirt bc it is beautiful and sexy but also bc he would do that
If he had to get dressed up and go to some gala to get passive-aggressively snipped at then you best believe he is wearing that open back
Because it makes his disability visible. It makes it beautiful too, but that would be Viktor saying Look at me. Look at this. Maybe it wouldn’t change anything, but it would make them uncomfortable, and that’s enough of a win, sometimes.
(Also it makes Jayce turn bright red every time)
so good but still hurts
