All right. that little Although this is an exaggeration, he has now been granted strange and magical machine-based healing abilities by Hexcore, creating a peaceful community in the heart of the Undercity.
But your boy ~ no He looks healthy, but now his body is mostly mechanical, the bags under his eyes have gotten worse, and his hair is all tattered. And mentally, he feels like he’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders as he tries to heal everyone who shows up at his doorstep. And emotionally, there is clearly the ongoing pain of not yet separating from her longtime research partner, Jayce.
But even though Viktor is in pain… he’s really hot when he’s miserable.
Let’s solve this problem. What I think is hot in a fictional setting is different from what I think is hot in real life. Blah blah blah. I don’t condone being Hextech Jesus. Or you are so tortured by the burden of evolution, humanity, and your place within it that you cannot tolerate starting a cult.
I think the more he suffers, the sexier he becomes.
It doesn’t help that Viktor’s first few scenes this season were basically naked, wrapped only in a sheet. Yes, yes, he now has a weird robot body. But hear me out. I’m into it. I also love how his hair is becoming more disheveled and longer and his overall demeanor is becoming more and more worn and tired.
He’s sick! But by God he makes it look good.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Viktor, my favorite male character on the show. He’s a quieter juxtaposition to Jayce’s bravado and carries more weight on his slim shoulders, which makes his character very appealing to me personally. I love that he desperately wants to change the world, but keeps getting interrupted and running out of time.
This season, all of that is amplified. that have Bigger and more powerful than ever before; But as we learned, this comes at a cost. Nonetheless, he resigned his commission. He will help. Regardless of the cost. It’s clearly taking a toll on him in every possible way. But what if that drive and desperation aren’t sexy?
Now, again, things don’t look so good. After that, this batch of all the latest episodes did Ended up with Viktor, uh, dead — killed by Jayce, no less (so delicious disastrous!!!). But the show is on. stiff About the Jesus image with him (not to mention he’s a playable champion) league of legendsSo since there is precedent for him not being completely dead, I am fairly certain he will come back to life. And I’ll be spinning my head waiting for him to do so.
