"I had a crush until you started talking to the gun" this quote from ekko became more understandable, just by seeing he and jinx were childhood friends which is included in the video... 🤯
This slaps so much harder after having watched the first act of Arcane. Edit: After having finished the entire first season, I've been able to observe how the show and this music video make each other better. Many of the images shown in this video reveal more about the story. We see how the firelights cherished by Powder in her youth became a weapon developed by Jinx and the namesake of Ekko's Firelights. In the show, we only get to see Vi eating at Jericho's shop after her release from Stillwater Prison, but we can see her and the rest of her adopted family eating together in their youth in this video. In the show, we only see the young Ekko as a friend of Powder's adopted family, but the portrayal of Powder and Ekko in this music video shines a brighter light on what they meant to each other in their childhood, making the meaning of their fight in Act III much deeper. This is a great example of how the art of the 21st century often manifests itself in multiple genres simultaneously, all of which build upon each other.
Ngl Jinx is based on Harley Quinn but judging by her lore in Arcane, she resembles the Joker much more because Harley is just a henchwoman and Joker is the one pulling the strings. So in conclusion, Jinx is the JOKER of League.
@@ThrlPhlpp Pretty sure corki exist already because of Legends of Runeterra. He is the official mechanic of the Bandel Scouts. Shaco on the other hand... Edit: I mean wild rift cinematic. Sorry wrong info
I love the fact that Arcane is all about everyone's personal war, losses, betrayals, stories. There is no good nor completely bad side. Everyone lives with his own contradictions. This song is perfect for this story and for this steam punk environment.
Yeah everyone is just trying to get by and achieve their goals, even Ekko who is just trying to find peace and progress for zaun has not found a way to achieve it without violence and destruction
Actually there is a truly bad side, a TRULY evil character. You, we, just can't accept it.... Jinx, she literally kills people for fun. Oh sure she is "doing it for her dad," but that is a thinly veiled excuse to do what she LOVES. Go back and look at her face as she recalls the Enforcers she lured into their fiery deaths.
I love that this song has its own videoclip with scenes not seen in the show and it supports the storylines: the relationship between Vi and Powder, their life in Zaun but also the relationship of Powder and Ekko
I love that Riot and Fortiche didn't recycle everything from the actual series in making this music video (except for the Krug scene, but it was changed in Arcane). I mean, they really gave effort in creating separate animations just for this
I think the part where the music starts and we see Vi hugging jinx is also from the series, its prob the only unedited thing they added that was also in the series.
@@Marius_ae its just there first time making thats why they taking it 6 years but i think they mastered how to create it no its like doing the same thing over over again everyday...

Vi's boxing stance and combo's are actually really clean. It's not often an animation team gets that right. Definitely mocapped from a boxer with great orthodox form.
@@BoyProdigyBaby it's got to be, a talented boxer too - or at the very least someone with well practiced form. I think Vi has been seen boxing both orthodox and southpaw, too! Edit: nevermind, just orthodox
Gotta hand it to riot collabing with amazing artists and not just making killer clean videos but now a Netflix series. League of legends is truly Something
When I clicked on this video I really thought that they were just going to take clips and scenes from the series, but they actually made an animation exclusively for this music video. Insanely good!
It just goes to show their commitment and how much they actually care about these things rather than it all being about the money like other larger companies have taken to.
The animation for this video and Arcane in general is just so good... The way they animated Vi's punching lesson here and Powder trying to mimic it badly is so good, the way she just throws her arms while Vi is using his whole body to throw in her punches is so good. So much detail. I'm still amazed by how good Arcane is.
Look at who Vi is teaching to fight. The blonde and the one right-most end up working for Silco and against Vander and his family. The other 3 strangers, the one with a mean look and the one with the black tattoo/birth mark, and the one on the wall, I think I've seen them before but can't exactly place them. I think they also turned out to work against Vi. Such a heart-breaking detail.
@@aurweon Not sure, but I just checked the first fight Vi and the troupe get into at ep 1. The one with the mean look is with the blonde fighting against Vi and the troupe, and the blonde at the time was on his first mission working for Silco. Still not certain about the other 2 strangers.
That's one thing I loved about Arcane in general, everybody moved like they knew how to fight with their fight style, brawlers fought much more scrappy than those with formal training, gunslingers and marksmen were more calculated in their moves, the weapons very obviously had mass to them, and you could see the fighter's thought processes and what they were feeling as they fought, or as I like to call it all of that combined, their unique combat language.
its the same as KDA, riot is just so good at getting people who really love their work, id love to work at riot, seeing the love they place into their work, but i didnt know this then and now im in medicine XD
@@mike7546 @Mike tbf most of the love goes into contractors. Everyone take note that the animation is made by studio fortiche who has worked with Riot for many years. And they've worked with dozens of musicians at this point, if not hundreds. They've been making incredible orchestral pieces since nearly the beginning. If you can find it the making of the freljord event in 2013 is a good watch.
Love the small little detail between 1:53-1:54 of Jinx’s older self flashing in a split second. Just goes to show how the anger she holds inside and her exposure to constant violence at a young age makes her into the person she is now.
“What an honor for Imagine Dragons to have their music immortalized in film. Their powerful sounds, evoking emotions and telling stories, now come to life on the big screen, as if they were always destined to be part of something greater.”
They made Jinx a very complex character in this series. That "dinner" scene was just beautiful. At first i thought Silco only used Jinx to further his agenda, but in the end turned out he really did loves her as his own daughter. This is a dilemma for her because she gotta chose betwen Vi or Silco whose both of them cared so deeply with Powder/Jinx.
@@Shangalarx Honesty I just think it's just Powder honoring Silco's last wish. That her turning into Jinx made her perfect, and that she shouldn't try to be the person she was before. Everyone changes, Ekko even said that.
When you feel sympathetic towards the villain, you know the writers are good. In Act 3 i was actually rooting for Silco. They made him human dan 3 dimensional character instead of soulless evil.
Is not as simple as X made Jinx. It was a mix. Zaun's life style made Jinx, the death of her parents at early age made Jinx, Piltovers oppression and corruption made Jinx, Powder accidently killing her friends made Jinx, Vi abandoning her made Jinx, Silco's education made her Jinx, Singed experiment just made all the former even worst, and she struggle to think straight even more than she did before. Jinx was a product of many ingredients that happened to shape Powder into a chaotic, unpredictable and mentally unstable character.
3:12 Amazing scene. Making the two versions of Jinx stand together as if they are two different people perfectly shows that Jinx is just putting this "psychopath" behaviour up to protect her inner self - the sad little girl. This video + the show is amazing.
Yes and no. Based on what we know so far from the lore (not the show they might change it in arcane but i don't thing so) Jinx is crazy broken mind and everything complete phycho. We dont know how it happen though. that is what i want to see! cant wait
I think Powder after the traumatizing events her mind just created a second personality, the Jinxed alter ego, that is fighting to take over thats why powder has conflicted feelings/seeing things, Silco in the last chapters of arcane will give her the purple venom and then the Jinx will take over for good, being completely insane like in the game with Pink eyes instead of blue
@@xgreedogreed4236 yeah I can understand this but I think jinx and powder are different people in her head. Powder is weak and causes all the people she loves to die, but jinx is supposed to be stronger than this.
So I actually know nothing about LoL. I mean, I know its a big deal esports thing and the most successful one. Its one of those household names amongst any kind of pc gamer. But I've never played it or know anything about it's lore. But the very first time I heard this song I thought "This is rad...it feels like good actual music, not something half heartedly made to fit the show". This is one of those times where the music made the show better, and not the show made the music better. (To me, as a LoL lore n00b)
the subtle details in the animation during the ENTIRE SHOW is blowing my mind. eye movements, shaky legs, jitters, gasps, everything is there in more attention to detail than a real life actor would do it lol, it's crazy.
I love how when Vi is training everyone is watching because they think she’s so cool, then when it’s Powders turn Ekko is the only one watching. Like everyone else got bored and Ekko and Powder are closer to each other than everyone else in the group.
My expectations for this show were so low but for anyone who has not seen it, and I have never played league of legends either, it is absolutely incredible. Something not enough people are talking about is how insane the soundtrack was too!! If you have not watched Arcane yet, PLEASE do so! You will not regret it!
I love that detail at 1:10 where everyone watches Vi while she practices but when it transitioned to Powder/Jinx, it was only Ekko who stayed. It just shows his affection and care for Powder. Hope, they somehow reunite on the lore.
@Abayomi Robinson yes that's true. Even Vi did not stay. Maybe it portrays that even Vi cannot accept Jinx for what happened to her and finally gave up that powder is already "gone". Ekko, on the other hand, still hopes that she will somehow comeback.
@@itsmrpiggyofficial I won't spoil it for everyone but the game's lore is far ahead of the arcane series. And if you read Jinx's lore, there's a slight chance of them meeting again.
Arcane is gonna leave an empty space in my heart when it's over, i've always been obsessed with the universe riot created and seeing it come to life in the series is something wonderful it took champs lore even deeper and made us emotionally attached to them. Well done riot, well done fortiche and everyone contributed in this masterpiece
@@Alloy_GB that's what i'm hoping for and with riot forge i'm hoping to see some big story driven games in runeterra universe too all we can do is wait and see
Man this is just another proof that League of Legends should have been a serie/movie a long time ago...what a top tier animation/music/characters/soundtrack and backstory...incredible !
I agree, I'm kind of worried about the animation standart being too good tho, idk how long does animation like that take, but I'm assuming a lot, so if we get more seasons it will take quite a while to make
@@thorxal5933 Not a problem for me as long as it’s polished like this masterpiece we got now, they can have all the time in the world, work with passion take time, and I’m really looking forward for another characters backstory.
I started watching Arcane without any expectations and ended up simply amazed at what I saw, this amazing series, I strongly recommend it to those who haven't seen it.
@@dark_zAzas8052 as someone who has never played the games and has only watched some of the music videos, you don't need any prior knowledge of the franchise to enjoy this. It's so good.
@@dark_zAzas8052 I only watched it because of some great reviews by anime youtubers with no prior knowledge of the game. Honestly it's superb and no prior knowledge is needed
The moment where powder shoots her finger gun and it flicks to jinx is so sick. The attention to detail even just for a music video shows the talent of these writers and animators. The passion they show to the world and these characters is the exact reason the show is a masterpiece.
Vi had issues with her temper, she made the same mistake with Powder at the end of episode 3 just like Vander did with Silco at the river. One act both Vander and Vi trully regretted doing but it was too late.
After watching Arcane, have you noticed that NONE of the shots where in the series? I thought just the scenes in the bar and the rap part was custom made for the MV, but Riot & Fortiche just gave us so much more perspective on everyday gang life in this MV. Normally you don´t get canon slice of life moments in a serious show, so i´m very happy they did it this way.
@@wangickw8458 Maybe they were not always enemies and the life on the streets brought them apart at some point. I have to agree with Yulia though that it is really cool that this is not only a music video for the show, but shows us a bit more about the good times the gang had. Had. :(
After seeing a bunch of posts on TikTok, I decided to see what all the hype was about and after watching the show in the span of 1/2 - 2 days I can say that Arcane is the best video game adaptation I have ever seen. You don’t even need to have played or even know anything about League of Legends at all to enjoy the show. Everything about it was just amazing. The story telling, the music, the overrall animation and style, the effects, the fighting scenes… I am absolutely obsessed with this show. Just about every episode just had me wandering what’s next and there were times where my face was like :0. I cannot wait to see the second season, as it has already been renewed by Netflix for a second season
>it has already been renewed by Netflix for a second season A little correction - it was renewed by Riot Games since they produce the show themselves. Netflix is just a distributor.
I started watching Arcane the other day, and I’m blown away!! I’ve never even played the game, but the show is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. It’s phenomenal! The animation, story line, voice acting. It’s all amazing!

I thought we would see this clip in part 3, but you are probably right.
I had the same sentiments. I was shocked to see the whole band was animated to fit the world.
And it actually tells a good point of the storie. They were happy.
The animation for this video and Arcane in general is just so good... The way they animated Vi's punching lesson here and Powder trying to mimic it badly is so good, the way she just throws her arms while Vi is using his whole body to throw in her punches is so good. So much detail. I'm still amazed by how good Arcane is.
Look at who Vi is teaching to fight. The blonde and the one right-most end up working for Silco and against Vander and his family. The other 3 strangers, the one with a mean look and the one with the black tattoo/birth mark, and the one on the wall, I think I've seen them before but can't exactly place them. I think they also turned out to work against Vi. Such a heart-breaking detail.
@@handsomemac1621 i think they were some of the shimmer addicts Silco used against Vi?
@@aurweon Not sure, but I just checked the first fight Vi and the troupe get into at ep 1. The one with the mean look is with the blonde fighting against Vi and the troupe, and the blonde at the time was on his first mission working for Silco. Still not certain about the other 2 strangers.
That's one thing I loved about Arcane in general, everybody moved like they knew how to fight with their fight style, brawlers fought much more scrappy than those with formal training, gunslingers and marksmen were more calculated in their moves, the weapons very obviously had mass to them, and you could see the fighter's thought processes and what they were feeling as they fought, or as I like to call it all of that combined, their unique combat language.
@@handsomemac1621 Dude that was such a cool detail. Thanks
The fact that Powder and Ekko were so close made episode 8 from season 2 hurt even more.

Love the small little detail between 1:53-1:54 of Jinx’s older self flashing in a split second. Just goes to show how the anger she holds inside and her exposure to constant violence at a young age makes her into the person she is now.

Also 1:02 - 1:04 !! Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed!
I noticed.
Literally had to 0.25x it to see it clearly.

“What an honor for Imagine Dragons to have their music immortalized in film. Their powerful sounds, evoking emotions and telling stories, now come to life on the big screen, as if they were always destined to be part of something greater.”
The animations for Jinx's movements are literal perfection, they nailed her movements. I'm excited.

Absolute Cinema 👐
The fact that they made extra scenes specifically just for the music video is just insane
Ikr just makes me love the show even more
Its great that it fills in more gaps with ekko and jinx makes their fight even sadder
True. Some of those could be just deleted scenes from the series recicled.
To be honest, the show needed some of these scenes.
Absolutely what I've been thinking this whole time hhh
They made Jinx a very complex character in this series. That "dinner" scene was just beautiful. At first i thought Silco only used Jinx to further his agenda, but in the end turned out he really did loves her as his own daughter. This is a dilemma for her because she gotta chose betwen Vi or Silco whose both of them cared so deeply with Powder/Jinx.
Also the Silco scene with the Vander's statue. He realized that his "brother" were right after all.
Vi want her to be Powder again, Silco want her to stay as Jinx.
When Powder killed Silco, Jinx kills Powder.
@@Shangalarx Honesty I just think it's just Powder honoring Silco's last wish. That her turning into Jinx made her perfect, and that she shouldn't try to be the person she was before. Everyone changes, Ekko even said that.
When you feel sympathetic towards the villain, you know the writers are good. In Act 3 i was actually rooting for Silco. They made him human dan 3 dimensional character instead of soulless evil.
Is not as simple as X made Jinx. It was a mix. Zaun's life style made Jinx, the death of her parents at early age made Jinx, Piltovers oppression and corruption made Jinx, Powder accidently killing her friends made Jinx, Vi abandoning her made Jinx, Silco's education made her Jinx, Singed experiment just made all the former even worst, and she struggle to think straight even more than she did before. Jinx was a product of many ingredients that happened to shape Powder into a chaotic, unpredictable and mentally unstable character.
3:12 Amazing scene. Making the two versions of Jinx stand together as if they are two different people perfectly shows that Jinx is just putting this "psychopath" behaviour up to protect her inner self - the sad little girl. This video + the show is amazing.
sociopathic*
@@startreful *psycho
Yes and no. Based on what we know so far from the lore (not the show they might change it in arcane but i don't thing so) Jinx is crazy broken mind and everything complete phycho. We dont know how it happen though. that is what i want to see! cant wait
I think Powder after the traumatizing events her mind just created a second personality, the Jinxed alter ego, that is fighting to take over thats why powder has conflicted feelings/seeing things, Silco in the last chapters of arcane will give her the purple venom and then the Jinx will take over for good, being completely insane like in the game with Pink eyes instead of blue
@@xgreedogreed4236 yeah I can understand this but I think jinx and powder are different people in her head. Powder is weak and causes all the people she loves to die, but jinx is supposed to be stronger than this.

After watching Arcane, this song is a masterpiece
"We will show them
We will show them all."
So I actually know nothing about LoL. I mean, I know its a big deal esports thing and the most successful one. Its one of those household names amongst any kind of pc gamer. But I've never played it or know anything about it's lore. But the very first time I heard this song I thought "This is rad...it feels like good actual music, not something half heartedly made to fit the show". This is one of those times where the music made the show better, and not the show made the music better. (To me, as a LoL lore n00b)

I love that detail at 1:10 where everyone watches Vi while she practices but when it transitioned to Powder/Jinx, it was only Ekko who stayed. It just shows his affection and care for Powder. Hope, they somehow reunite on the lore.
@Abayomi Robinson yes that's true. Even Vi did not stay. Maybe it portrays that even Vi cannot accept Jinx for what happened to her and finally gave up that powder is already "gone". Ekko, on the other hand, still hopes that she will somehow comeback.
the effort put into the Arcane series really impresses me ngl
i dont think it will happen cuz they fought already and thats it

@@itsmrpiggyofficial I won't spoil it for everyone but the game's lore is far ahead of the arcane series. And if you read Jinx's lore, there's a slight chance of them meeting again.

After watching Arcane, have you noticed that NONE of the shots where in the series?

Normally you don´t get canon slice of life moments in a serious show, so i´m very happy they did it this way.
My explanation is because most of the shots are just mad Jinx’s imagination, just look at 1:05, how can their enemies sit together with them
@@wangickw8458 Maybe they were not always enemies and the life on the streets brought them apart at some point. I have to agree with Yulia though that it is really cool that this is not only a music video for the show, but shows us a bit more about the good times the gang had. Had. :(
