Is Jinx Actually Dead?
COLLIDER: I just got done finishing the show this weekend.
I cried quite a bit.

CHRISTIAN LINKE: Oh, I apologize.
Especially in the seventh episode.
I was like, wow, what a way to start my Saturday.

LINKE: Yeah, yeah, I know.
So I think my first major question is, is Jinx, is she actually dead?
LINKE: [Laughs] Wouldn’t you like to know?
Image via Netflix
Yeah, I can’t really speak to that.
So was that always the plan from the get-go?
Was it always going to be Viktor who would end up being the villain?
Set in Utopian Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League Of Legends champions and the power that will tear them apart.
Will Any of the Characters From ‘Arcane’ Return in Future Series?
“There are so many characters in our IP.”
And I love how the season ended because it was so open-ended.
So are some of these open-ended storylines setting up possible spin-offs?
Will the future series be focused on characters weve already met in Arcane?
Or would they be about somebody completely new?
LINKE: So there will be some stories to come out of Season 2, right?
But yeah, we also want to do new stories.
But yeah, some stories will arise.
I know I’m kind of being cryptic here, but yeah.
He’s my fave.
LINKE: [Laughs] You know,I would be shocked if you didn’t.
Okay, that makes me happy.
LINKE: I mean, look on my desk.
I have two characters.
[Shows Funko Pops of Heimerdinger and Amumu]
I love it.
LINKE: And so, as you’re free to see, he’s my most played champion.
I’m just like, just play him.
LINKE: Yes, he’s so fun.
So your friend also watchedArcane?
Oh, yeah, he’s the one who actually got me into the show.
And then I got instantly hooked on it.
LINKE: Did he likeArcane?
And he’s usually always picky.
He’s always like, Oh, it wasn’t accurate to this franchise.
But withArcane, he kept saying, This is the best show I’ve seen in years.
LINKE: That’s good to hear.
That’s good to hear.
What Were Ambessa’s True Motives?
My other question was about Ambessa’s turn.
Did she really think that she could control Viktor?
So, there is that flaw, too, right?
Like military people in a way who think everything can always just be solved with a weapon.
One of the moments that really made me cheer was Caitlin and Vis big moment.
I was curious, what was the development on that?
Have they always been envisioned as being together in the end?
We always knew it was going to be… Then you fall in love.
Sometimes people are confronted with this impossible choice of old versus new family.
How do you deal with that?
It’s very difficult.
And I think that’s something that we found very interesting.
And we knew it was going to be difficult.
LINKE:It’s always nice to have more time.
You approach every season as a new thing.
And it’s this living, breathing, organic thing.
So, it’s hard for me to comment on it.
I’m still processing.
Would it have been nice to have more time?
I think constraints are good.
But there’s never an easy answer with these things.
Viktor and Jayce’s Relationship Isn’t What You Think
“There is a love.
I don’t think it’s romantic.”
Was there anything ever between Viktor and Jayce that was more than just their friendship?
LINKE: I know there are some people who ask this.There is a love.
So, a romantic relationship between Jayce and Viktor was just never part of it.
Viktor loves in a different way, and that’s okay, no?
I like that answer.
And someone said asexuality.
They say it’s often depicted as, like, emotionless when it’s not true at all.
It’s just that your feelings don’t mix with physical.
So, to me, that was always part of Viktor.
ArcaneSeason 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.
