    I really hope Riot makes more Lol series or a season 2 or something like that. I’ve never played Lol but their cinematic trailers are amazing and somehow are able to tell full stories and build vast interesting worlds in 3 minutes and I think there is soooooo much potential (as we’ve seen with Arcane) to make more series

    I liked Act 1 A LOT cause of the emotional impact it had, but Act 2, OH MY GOD. I love the way they've handled Jinx. While it was entertaining as hell and kinda funny at times, when you really step back and look at her, its pretty fucking sad. She has had so much trauma in her childhood that her mind is just broken to the point that when she finally reunites with Vi, she has to ask if she is real. God damn Riot, you ingeniously sadistic bastards. And then Jinx and Silco's father/daughter relationship is almost kinda heart warming.
    Also I like where they're taking Viktor, and Caitlyn and Vi's interactions were such a pleasure to watch.

It's definitely not that alot of champs and items are unbalanced most of the time or that riot prefers punishing people who are vocal in all chat but wintraders, boosters, people who ruin ranked games aren't punished or maybe it's the fact that sometimes it doesn't matter how good your macro is or your mechanics, some games your team is just trash and their ego won't ever allow them to be carried. That's a few reasons.

    Not knowing much is what keeps me interested in this series. I'm on the edge of my seat and wondering how things are gonna wrap up, who's gonna die, and what's gonna happen next. My favorite part of the series are the little artistic touches that you'd only see in a comic book, some of the art direction is quite inspired and its animation really wallows in itself which is nice to see, but it doesn't overstay its welcome either when it's time to focus on an emotional beat.

Act I ended with a tremendous gut-punch that is just as, if not more shocking as any scene in Game of Thrones, while Act II ended in a cliffhanger, which I still loved, but would have wanted a bit more to it. Act III I believe will be something truly special when I see it.

    But then that would make me sad, because for all those that knew the Camille (we mains know and love) is born anew of Hextech and becomes the 5v1 badass she is.
    So this whole time Jayce had my vote to push Hextech, for the birth of Camille alone. I really wanted to see her in this series.
    But sadly seeing how this is the birth of Hextech I doubt she will come into play, funny I don't hear much if any details about her family House being mentioned.

      From what I've gathered, we don't actually know what "in production" actually means in this case. By 6 years, we don't know if they are counting from the time they got the idea or from when they first started writing the script, etc. The writers have now acquired some experience working in this field and management will likely allow more focus to be put on future shows considering how well-received Arcane has been. All in all, I don't think it will take 6 years for another show to come out.

    Act II has better phasing.. Riot did an amazing job with Jayce and Viktor .. if you play the game vs seeing them now you will see how complex they are! Jayce in game was a hero, a golden boy, a celebrity but in arcane we see some of his negative side.. while Viktor in game was villainous .. in arcane he has a great cause! Caitlyn was pretty one dimensional even her lore was written like that 🤣.. she's just an enforcer nothing more nothing less.

    Jinx's and Silco's relationship is done so well. The fact that there's some weird sexual tension between them makes it all the more creepy but also compelling.

    Favorite episode is still Episode 3. Favorite character is Vi (although that face tat looks stupid).

    PLEASE WATCH JAI BHIM! You won’t regret! It’s currently the top-rated movie on IMDB with a score of 9.5, defeating The Shawshank Redemption. I have been waiting for a long time to hear your thoughts about an Indian movie!
