It’s so much fun to rewatch the series and note the way every Undercity character conveys effortless confidence/cool-factor simply through how they move.
They don’t walk so much as strut.
In Piltover, most of the characters move at a leisurely stroll, oozing a calm complacence that goes hand-in-hand with privilege. They know they’re right where they belong; safe in their gilded bubble.
Zaunites on the other hand, are accustomed to fighting tooth and claw for every scrap of space. It’s conveyed so beautifully through how each character owns their surroundings.
Vi:
- leads with squared shoulders and a set jaw. an unflinching fire in the eyes; mess around and you’ll get burned -
Sevika:
- a well-oiled machine with a spark of malice in the smile and a touch of brimstone in the bones. this dragon lady means business -
Ekko:
- a self-made man's swagger. he’s got places to be and keeps time to his own rhythm -
Viktor:
- a skewed walk paired with a spine of stainless steel. if he can’t find a way, he’ll make one -
Jinx:
- sleek as a phantom. a thing of shadows and nightmares. this is her realm, and you are simply a plaything -
Silco:
- a slithering prowl. A shark in the water; a predator in his element. a torturous end of the line for you -
That thought wouldn't let go of me. They learn that Vik really has no chance and Jayce really doesn't want him to feel bad about it, going into mom mode.
I wanted this to play out much longer but the tears came fast (and who am I to stop them)
The irony takes over when they switch places but Jayce would still try to comfort Vik no matter how dark the diagnosis is.
