10 Best Moments In Netflix's Arcane
6. Heimerdinger Is Voted Out
You know a show is doing something right when one of its highlights is a scene where a group of councillors sit around a table and take a vote. Despite the minimal set-up, the emotional steaks were enormous in this moment, and it delivered on a crushing change for a character who deserved better.
This scene showed as the Piltover council - led by a speech from Jayce - voted to force the beloved Heimerdinger out of his seat. The tense moment where each councillor raises their hand is painful to watch, and made all the worse by poor Heimerdinger's face as he realises he's fighting a losing battle.
Still, what made this moment hurt all the more was that Jayce was the one behind it. The relationship between the two had been tense, but this showed just how willing Jayce had become to go all-in with his ambitions, no matter who got burned along the way.
Overall, the scene is executed beautifully and has some of the best voice acting in the show. Plus, no one wants to see a face as adorable as Heimerdinger's unhappy.
