Vander is not Vi and Powder's biological father, though I think you recognized that pretty quickly. Their father was the man he asks if their mom had told yet about being pregnant with Vi. He was just very close with their parents and took them in after their parents were killed when they were young enough that Vi and Powder consider him a father as well.

Yeah, I eventually got there. He knew their parents, which I hadn’t realized before. For me, it makes his decision to hang up his gauntlets to raise them even more bittersweet.

Can't lie, the first time I watched this "reunion" scene with Vander, Jinx & Vi, I cried. It's all so beautifully animated, with this music in the background as well, the flashback leading up to it. This second arc in s2 (eps 4-6) is prob at the top imho.

I've mentioned in other posts how I both love Season 2 and find it very frustrating (as opposed to Season 1, which is essentially flawless in my eyes). But I think this episode is one of the two or three best episodes of the season, and it's because of how it mostly tightens the focus back down to the core character dynamic of the series - that of Vi and Jinx and their family drama. As someone who came into the show knowing (a bit) about Warwick and where that whole subplot in the first three episodes was likely to be going, I was deeply skeptical about the idea of bringing Vander back. But I think they actually did a wonderful job of making his return feel like it pushed the story and characters forward without undercutting the tragedy of his original loss. After all, Vander's death was Powder's original sin, and the catalyzing moment for her transformation into Jinx. She learned in that moment that she was doomed to fail those she cared about - and worse, that she was doomed to be the one responsible for their deaths. And it's a wound that's only festered since. On a lesser show, bringing back Vander would seem to be an easy way to heal that wound - and on a basic level, that's kind of what happens here. But Vander being brought back *changed* is very much in keeping with the themes of the series - you can't go back to who you once were. Maybe you can fight your way through the morass of pain and anger and venom and come out the other side intact. But you won't ever be that well-meaning little girl again. You'll never have that same relationship with your sister again. But that also doesn't mean you can't still be better. And that doesn't mean you can't find a way to build a new relationship with your sister somehow. Even if you're both... different. It's good stuff, IMO. Told well both in the script and through Arcane's usual high standard for visual storytelling. And bolstered by some career best voice work from Hailee Steinfeld and Ella Purnell. That final scene, where Vi finally gives in and *listens* to her sister for the first time all episode, and the subsequent slow quiet reveal of the embrace from Jinx's perspective, is absolutely beautiful. Our kintsugi of a found family, eternally scarred but reunited at last. ...And then there's the Mel stuff. Which, despite Mel still being a very fun and charismatic character, feels very much like it's a Marvel-style trailer for another show entirely.

I just cannot get into Vander being alive and being Warwick. It just takes all the weight out of his death and them dealing with it. Just feels like a cheap twist for emotional play.

For all my problems with the writing in this season, that isn't one of them. In a fantasy setting, sometimes death isn't as permanent as it is in our world, but it has to have consequences. And for Vander dying and becoming Warwick absolutely has consequences, there's no possibility of him getting back to the person he was before. Vander really is dead, there was just this small echo of him left.
