Silco || Arcane

I just now realized why jinx's rocket launcher Fishbone looks the way it does. She didn't make it for herself, she made it for Silco. He loved sea monsters.

I loved him. Best villain ever. His motivations were sympathetic but the way he got there was evil, and I loved that he put Jinx above his dream like a good dad.

It was such a hard hitting moment to see that he actually loved Jinx all along. I was waiting for the stereotypical “I never loved you, it was all a trick to get you to do what I wanted!” Moment. But in the end, Silco was never manipulating her, every word of encouragement and support was actually genuine. He loved Jinx like a daughter. More than himself, and even his plans for Zaun. He was still an evil man, but would never give up his daughter for his ambitions. He loved her above all else. Such a well written villain.

Silco wasn't a villian, just a broken man

That moment when Silco is more accepting and loving than your real father.

The thing about Arcane I love most is how there‘s no actual villain. Sure, you hate Silco at first and all but in the end he‘s just a broken soul collecting outcasts like Jinx. And he learned to love her, as well. But he‘s not good and will never be good. And so is Vi, who left her sister, and Jace, who turned from someone inspiring to someone… I don‘t even know I just started hating him towards the end, and Viktor, and Caitlyn and all of them! They aren‘t good and they aren‘t bad. Arcane is amazing because it gives each character enough depth just so you can‘t hate them.

He wasn't a villain, he was a tragic hero. God damn give this man a spin off series

How do you make a FMA fan cry? say: "Ed...Ward..." How do you make an Arcane fan cry? Say; "You're perfect."

His death hit really hard. He was my favourite character in the show. Really hoped he would be in the second season... :(

Me when Vi is on the screen: sleep Me when Silco is on the screen: furiously eating popcorn

Silco is the most interesting character in this entire series.

He was my fav character in the show. Really sad he died

"Dont cry, your perfect"

"We're only as good as the world allows us to be"

Silco embraced jinx's flaws, which made him a true father figure

"Don't cry..you're perfect" Silco last words

"Jinx is Perfect.... you're perfect..."

Silco is a good father with bad methods. Many of the things he did for the sake of his 'daughter' are generally good things we want to see from Parents. The unfortunate part is that those things he did were twisted by his own warped ideals and view on the world due to his own trauma. He supported her when everyone else doubted her. When she made mistakes, he'd call her out on them and ask her to do better and to take time to clear her head. When she blows up the enforcers and steals the hex crystal, he's furious because of what she did until he saw it wasn't just a random act of violence. It had a purpose towards whats essentially both of their life goals. This falls in line with his own ideals and views that for them to have Zaun, they had to break a few eggs. That is why he didn't reprimand her further, now seeing that what she did was for the sake of their future Zaun. When she was hurt, he came out to arguably one of the most exposed places between the two cities personally to find her and bring her back to the only person he knew/trusted to save her life. Time and time again he reminds her that she is 'perfect' and to us, yes its clear she is obviously very damaged and warped by her experiences but so is Silco. They share a similar damaged view of the world which is why to him he saw no issues with the new Powder (aka Jinx) because its the same way he became who he is now. He wants her to be strong and to own her strength by overcoming her trauma and the abandonment of her family like he did; its just done in unhealthy ways and towards unhealthy viewpoints. Then when the offer of a literal lifetime is presented to him, after who knows how many years of struggling, his ultimate goal that he killed his own brother for is now realized. And he can't let go of his only 'daughter' for the sake of this. He is willing to compromise almost all of his ideals aside from Loyalty for the sake of Jinx, even lying to Jayce and saying that the actions she did; blowing up the enforcers and stealing the crystal were his plans when in truth they were done by her of her own volition. Silco is far from a good guy but he loved Jinx unconditionally like any parent should and did what he thought was best for her.

I still cry every time I see the scene, "You're perfect." UGH it hurts so bad and I love it!

silco was a broken hero who wanted to trust in others but the one who trusted the most Vanders wanted to kill him. He did so many things to show the world that he is a leader and everyone he known just betrayed him except Jinx who always loved him as a father. This series a masterpiece and Im waiting for the second season. First adaptation that was beyond my expectation. "Jinx is perfect" best series ever 🔥
