One of the best series I’ve watched on Netflix. 10/10, loved Silco, he’s a great villain and my fav character. Every time I hear this, it always takes me to the scene where we first see them go to the undercity

I don't even like LoL but I instantly fall in love with the series because of the story, characters, details, music and so on... you can see all the love they have put in Arcane
For the same reason a gaming company is a better show producer than show producers: "The Culture War". Once it became clear how much power mass media would have over the population, the mass media (theatre, news, music, everything) began to be infiltrated by people who craved the art of power, as opposed to the power of art. Video games stand out as an exception because it's a highly competitive market that is highly intolerant towards infiltration (such as with the ME:A backlash). Video games aren't in a position to sacrifice profits for the sake of sending a political message. Compare to the Star Wars Sequels. If they make a bad sequel, everyone watches it, because they are the only source of Star Wars. It's a near monopoly. There's also Star Trek, but it's not Star Wars. You might want to boycott Marvel, but their ONLY real competition is DC which is caught up in the same sociopolitical ideology. Once someone sees a movie, usually on a streaming service or in a theatre, you can't unsee it and you can't refund the money you spent. Compare to the Star Wars videogames. If they make a bad videogame, they can and do get returned. People watch streams of games - legally - before buying. You can't hide behind a cool movie trailer. Worse, videogames have a LOT more competition. Star Wars Force Unleashed is competing with a decades old KOTOR I&II in terms of story, Diablo and it's myriad offspring in terms of gameplay. Star Wars Fallen Order competes with KOTOR I&II in terms of story, and Dark Souls and it's myriad offspring in terms of gameplay. Unlike movies, where it's extremely rare for low budget creators to become overnight worldwide hits, videogames are infamous for exactly this phenomena. Steam's Top 10 lists the likes of Hades and Disco Elysium alongside triple A titles like Halo Infinite and Warhammer III. And again, I repeat: You can usually refund a videogame. You can't refund a movie ticket or streaming service. Less tolerance for BS as a result. Another factor is access. A videogame can sell to anyone, anywhere in the world. Sure, you have monopolies like Steam and GOG, but (at least for now) they are too profit driven to care what political content is accessed on their platforms. Steam permits straight up porn (with tags you can filter for ofc). Outside huge platforms, selling a game is as easy as setting up a website and a paypal. Now, if you want to sell a movie or show, you have a problem. Advertising. Theatre access. Getting on a highly politicized streaming platform like Netflix. Even if you get on a platform, you can always get short changed by being shown low - or not at all - in the recommended/search algorithms. You can't just post it on a website and expect to make millions off of a sleeper hit in a few decades. Or can you? Time will tell. A lot of UA-camrs are creating absolute masterpieces, in exchange for nothing except an optional donation to a patreon account.
Went into this series with no real expectations and absolutely left wanting more. Characters in story in this were top notch, Animation was amazing and the music to knit it all together didn’t miss a beat. Amazing piece of work, pure art from start to finish.

I found some arcane music soundtrack on spotify and there was this one song where there’s “season 5” in it. So i guess we’ll have 5 seasons then Edit: the song is Zombie Slayer Jinx
@@elneno427 I know I’m late to this but in K/DA, they had like multiple voices/singers for one character Since it was a k-pop group. According to Wikipedia, she’s voiced by voiced by Mara Junot, singing voices provided by Madison Beer, Bea Miller and Kim Petras.
The fact that there is lyrics sayin "Sink into the wasteland underneath". And the final song of arcane having the lyrics "This world is a wasteland were nothing can grow" is master class foreshadowing.
@@Fufurnia The entire series was storyboarded and given a go ahead years before S01 was even released. Everything in S02 was ordained by the showrunners in the mid to late 2010's.
@@FeintMotion it may have been that way originally, but no doubt they made changes after seeing fan reactions. changing the mage who saved Jayce's life from Ryze to Viktor is strong evidence towards what fufurnia is saying. season 2 had way too much going on, and as a result, the pacing wasn't nearly as tight as season 1.
@@Dcookies100 It was never Ryze lol. You're just coping because you got too invested in the fan theories. It was always Viktor. You even see Vikto'rs eye in the transition from the scene to the next one. But I am quite sure there was supposed to be 3 seasons, but studio wanted two instead. Which is why S2 feels a bit rushed in comoparison to S1.
I legit got chills when this played during the show. This amazing track along with the breathtaking scenery of the first sight of the Lanes. Absolutely phenomenal and something I won't soon forget.
The production values on this track are so good. Hats off to Sebastian Najand and Mako. Bea's voice is also fantastic, sultry and seductive. And the song fits perfectly with the show but also stands alone as a great song. Thanks Riot Games & Netflix.

When this first played during the introduction of Zaun, I went all over the plays. HOLY SH*T! Absolutely captures it, and it is definitely my favorite track among the bunch.
The irony of the lyrics and the tone of the melody really boost this song and it's placment in the show. Welcome to the Playground, ironic that these are children and a playground is usually a happy place for children, yet the place they go to is not happy. It is their playground. Love it so much. 😊
It's been over a year at this point but I still vividly remember thinking once Vi stepped out from that elevator and this started playing I knew Arcane would be a fucking banger of a show
Friendly reminder that Bea Miller was Evelyn's singing voice in "Baddest Do." (Normally her singing voice is Madison Beer (also alongside Kim Petras in "Villain") and knowing that makes it sound like Eve is singing about Zaun. (The brothel would be a place she'd frequent for prey, I think.) This song is absolutely amazing even without that fact.
@@rustkarl her Wiki says: "Within the dark seams of Runeterra, the demon Evelynn searches for her next victim. She lures in prey with the voluptuous façade of a human female, but once a person succumbs to her charms, Evelynn's true form is unleashed. She then subjects her victim to unspeakable torment, gratifying herself with their pain. To the demon, these liaisons are innocent flings. To the rest of Runeterra, they are ghoulish tales of lust gone awry and horrific reminders of the cost of wanton desire." So, she roams Runeterra.

Im a metal head so not normally my style, but the eerie atmosphere along with the techno sound that feels 'grafted' onto the song 'in a good way' perfectly fits and is amazing.
J'ai l'impression d'être là seule à trouver cette musique triste mais joyeuse en même temps. Cette chanson me donne de multitude émotions que je ne peut pas décrire. Ces juste wow.
I love Arcane. There's a great storyline and great graphics, as well as cool songs.The backstory of Jinx/Powder generally brought me to tears(... Infinite respect to Riot and Fortiche for a job well done! Arcane - the best thing of the year!!!
Catches that twisted and sad theme of Zaun perfectly. Like sinking into a hazy cesspool, but your head is so far removed that you just don’t care. But the beast is still sleeping. Kind of gentle, if a little dark and demented.
The lyrics for the ones who want to sing with the song!!!: Who told you what was down here?

Sensual, yet foreboding. Catchy and poppy, with a hint of brooding electro-industrial. I love it, and would love to cover it someday, but I can't compete with a voice like that.
This song is unreal! One cannot begin to describe the emotions, power and imagination overload it fills the mind with. The lyrics so right on spot, the voice of Bea pure delirium…
This music gave me the chills when they entered Zaun, and it still gives me the chills everytime I listen to it. By far the best music rito has ever made imo.
I really love the use of percussion in this song, gives it such a mechanical and industrial feel, which also adds to the "grime" feel of the song that adds to the atmosphere of Zaun so damn well! it's truly brilliant :D
This song hits so hard deep down in me. Truly is a monster inside of us all. I am mysteriously having guilty pleasure listening to this sinister dark bad ass song.
It's fun how one of the firsts and one of the last musics from arcane represents Zaun as a "place to play" with something scary on it. "welcome to the playground, follow me, tell me your nightmares and fantasies" (From Bea Miller "Playground" on S01EP01) "If you wanna come play, you gonna start with me, and the monsters in my head" (From Stray Kids "Come Play" on S02EP09) I imagine these 2 musics playing together as a mashup.
Breath-taking song.... amazing cinematography, animation and punchy story line everything is on another level.. The launching of this song and the scene were spot on... ❤ Can't wait for 2 or 3 years for season 2 💔
Arcane is an absolute masterpiece I’ve never seen something as beautiful and perfect and have never enjoyed a show like it. Arcane is 1 in a time life. 💔🌹💙❤️
To Riot Games I just wanna say, thank you so much! Finally a videogame adaptation that is truly great in every f... sense! Amazing show, everything wraps flawlessly!
I NEED more music with the vibe of this soundtrack. It's all so rhythmic and goes so well with the gameplay of so many games. I've listened to this soundtrack like three dozen times...
The opening of the song reminds me of “we’re in this together” from Nine Inch Nails, and a lot of the sounds and beats reminds me of the Nine Inch Nails album The Fragile. It’s not a perfect match for this specific song but just thought I’d share what the music reminds me of, is all. I like this song and just found it reminded me a little of NIN

Welcome to the playground, follow me
Tell me your nightmares and fantasies (tell me your nightmares)
Sink into the wasteland underneath
Stay for the night, I'll sell you a dream
All the music have the lyrics in the description :)
Thanks!
Thanks!

Its useful for the ones on youtube music, tbh @@thepotato1226
Just started the series. This song IMMEDIATELY stood out.
This song builds atmosphere so well! The clanking of mechanic and just eerie cyberpunk aesthetic, fits the Zaun so much.

I am listening to this on PlayStation Spotify
This literally became one of my all-time fav songs and I've been listening to it since Act 1 was released. Unreasonably good.

In times when everything is cheap and safe, this production feels like an oasis.
The entire series has one of the best soundtrack I've ever heard on Netflix ! My god
Never ever thought Bea miller would sing a song for arcane, but I'm here for it
This is the first time I heard of her. I'm impressed is she always this good? If so let me know a few songs.
@@ramongutierrez780 yeah she's amazing. Her last album Aurora is incredible, but less eletronic than playground. My favs are SLUT and outside.
She also had a rock-ish time before, when she released her debut Not an apology, very nice too
“JINX IS ALIVE” i scream as the nurses drag me into the white padded room
Crazy?
What I love most about this song is the metallic percussion in the background. It is both super cool and really helps capture the feel of Zaun.
w metallic percussion
Im a metal head so not normally my style, but the eerie atmosphere along with the techno sound that feels 'grafted' onto the song 'in a good way' perfectly fits and is amazing.
The perfect series
Music
Illustration
Story
Animation
Everything is perfect
how the hell did this show capture all of the best genre of punks, it's even cyberpunk in spite of a magical setting
0:30 *_insert cool sequence here_*
If you're rewatching season 1 before the new season gather here 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
I do love Bea Miller, and I think Playground has been one of her strongest songs in years.
J'ai l'impression d'être là seule à trouver cette musique triste mais joyeuse en même temps. Cette chanson me donne de multitude émotions que je ne peut pas décrire. Ces juste wow.
This is a song that will never be boring to hear, no matter how many times you play it. 10/10
This was the highlight of the first episode to me. Perfect fit for what otherwise would have been an ordinary scene. Made it so much cooler.
I love Arcane. There's a great storyline and great graphics, as well as cool songs.The backstory of Jinx/Powder generally brought me to tears(... Infinite respect to Riot and Fortiche for a job well done! Arcane - the best thing of the year!!!
Catches that twisted and sad theme of Zaun perfectly.
Like sinking into a hazy cesspool, but your head is so far removed that you
just don’t care.
But the beast is still sleeping.
Kind of gentle, if a little dark and demented.
It’s incredible how this series was able to depict all the anger, sadness, disappointment… all the monsters that live inside me.
Love Jinx💜
What I see, is that Arcane is the only show that most to all people can agree is completely great. I love this show so much.
Riot has truly blessed us with the Arcane series and the music that came with it. Amazing
Who's here? (2024, after watching Season 2 - i'm not cryinggggg)
At least Jinx is free from zaun, piltover and Vi...
Good that she's alive :)
Hope you noticed that
Paint The Town Blue! 🗣️
Im so sad Arcane is a perfect series
Riot makes better animated series than a lot of the big movie studios
Music is better too
This track is such a vibe.
When this first played as it showed the Undercity, I had full body goosebumps. Legit rewatched the entire season just to see that one scene again.
Best track of the series for me, it fits so perfectly with the scene and Zaun itself and always gives the chills.
This hits different after S2 act 3
The lyrics for the ones who want to sing with the song!!!:
Who told you what was down here?
Come along if you wanted a peek
I've seen your face around here
Come alone, tell me under the table
What do you seek?
Welcome to the playground, follow me
Tell me your nightmares and fantasies
Sink into the wasteland underneath
Stay for the night, I'll sell you a dream
Oh-oh, whoa
Welcome to the playground
What brings you to the lost and found, dear?
Won't you pull up a seat?
Everybody got a price 'round here to play
Make me an offer, what will it be?
Oh-oh, what will it be?
Welcome to the playground, follow me
Tell me your nightmares and fantasies
Sink into the wasteland underneath
Stay for the night, I'll sell you a dream
Oh-oh, whoa
Welcome to the playground
Oh-oh, whoa
Welcome to the playground
Oh, it died
Ah, mm
Welcome to the playground
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Welcome to the playground
Welcome to the playground, follow me
Tell me your nightmares and fantasies (tell me your nightmares)
Sink into the wasteland underneath
Stay for the night, I'll sell you a dream
Thanks.
Thanks!
This shows how much love the show got,. The music and animation style is so amazing and probably the best out there
I have been listening this song for billion times and I never get bored, this song has magic
Sensual, yet foreboding. Catchy and poppy, with a hint of brooding electro-industrial.
I love it, and would love to cover it someday, but I can't compete with a voice like that.
This song is Sooo perfect for that scene and now I'm addicted
Bea Miller has always been so good at making grungy music.
When this song came out together with zaun, bro... I got chills.
This song is like falling into a trance and i love it
I am addicted to this song now.. cant stop listening it
This song is unreal! One cannot begin to describe the emotions, power and imagination overload it fills the mind with. The lyrics so right on spot, the voice of Bea pure delirium…
This music gave me the chills when they entered Zaun, and it still gives me the chills everytime I listen to it. By far the best music rito has ever made imo.
I really love the use of percussion in this song, gives it such a mechanical and industrial feel, which also adds to the "grime" feel of the song that adds to the atmosphere of Zaun so damn well! it's truly brilliant :D
This song fits perfectly for Zaun
from egypt love this song
riot does what we really need games songs and series. love you riot
I mean, lol game is not for everyone, but I expect more people loving the lore like I do thanks to the spectacular series 🤪
My first watch of Arcane I was thinking it was good, but then as soon as this song hit I was instantly sold on the show
3:27 I can never get enough of that little echo.
This is one my favorite songs of arcane what a marvelous soundtrack season 1 and 2, please don't go 😢
Arcane, the best movie and soundtrack of all timee. Thank you for the good workkk. Waiting for ss2!
Can't wait for "Guns For Hire" on episode 6, Woodkid is the best.

Oh god, is it a masterpiece.
This song hits so hard deep down in me. Truly is a monster inside of us all. I am mysteriously having guilty pleasure listening to this sinister dark bad ass song.
Arcane is amazing. Great Animation, great characters, great music. EVERYTHING.
This song is such a vibe🖤
It's fun how one of the firsts and one of the last musics from arcane represents Zaun as a "place to play" with something scary on it.
"welcome to the playground, follow me, tell me your nightmares and fantasies" (From Bea Miller "Playground" on S01EP01)
"If you wanna come play, you gonna start with me, and the monsters in my head" (From Stray Kids "Come Play" on S02EP09)
I imagine these 2 musics playing together as a mashup.
hugely underrated song, this is amazing
It's just... Awesome. I dont have the words to explain how much this music make my day.
Breath-taking song.... amazing cinematography, animation and punchy story line everything is on another level..
The launching of this song and the scene were spot on... ❤
Can't wait for 2 or 3 years for season 2 💔
Anyone here in 2025?
Arcane is an absolute masterpiece I’ve never seen something as beautiful and perfect and have never enjoyed a show like it. Arcane is 1 in a time life. 💔🌹💙❤️
2:52 And the crowd is.. floating away?
This song still hits hard even after season 2
To Riot Games I just wanna say, thank you so much! Finally a videogame adaptation that is truly great in every f... sense! Amazing show, everything wraps flawlessly!
I have now listened to this song about 100 times. The lyrics are now stuck in my head whenever I hear that first note.
I'm glad I'm still alive witnessing Arcane and listening to Riot Games music
I NEED more music with the vibe of this soundtrack. It's all so rhythmic and goes so well with the gameplay of so many games. I've listened to this soundtrack like three dozen times...
The opening of the song reminds me of “we’re in this together” from Nine Inch Nails, and a lot of the sounds and beats reminds me of the Nine Inch Nails album The Fragile. It’s not a perfect match for this specific song but just thought I’d share what the music reminds me of, is all. I like this song and just found it reminded me a little of NIN
This song sets the tone for the entire season
