  • Here are my thoughts on act 3, or episodes 7-9, of the Arcane (2021) Netflix Series. Tensions between two cities boil over as new inventions threaten revolution. In Piltover, Hextech democratizes magic, in Zaun, a drug transforms humans into monsters as Arcane brings some of League of Legends' famous champions to life. Should this cell-shaded animated series be on your watchlist? Thanks for checking out my Arcane (2021) Netflix Series Review for episodes 7-9!

    • @Kevster921
      @Kevster921 2 роки тому +19

      My expectations were the complete opposite, but the end result was still the same. I came in with very VERY high expectations after consuming all the trailers and the Enemy music video, I was watching the live release, and I was fully on board the hype train. I was actually worried the show would "just" be good, not great, and that my anticipation would have ruined it for me.
      And yet.... It blew my expectations away. Of course I have nitpicks and things I might have wanted a bit different, but it's honestly one of the few shows where I just can't find it in myself to complain about them. The show is just fucking fantastic.

      And be blown away again if they make the series about the story of "icathian war" where it started everything ,this story is the one heimerdenger pointing out in the series where arcane magic almost destroys the whole civilization.
      It's hard to summarize but here's a simple recap icathia a country under shurima empire rebels and use magic to create a portal called" the void" where home to the unspeakable horror creatures called "voidlings" to overthrow shurima ..this stories is where the origins of ascended(God) and darkin( Corrupted God) ..

The ascended and the shuriman empire defeated the icathia who lose control of the void , after that the shurima are afraid of the powers of the ascended because they have no purpose to them at all because the war is over they betrayed them and kill most of them and 5 of the strongest of them are imprisoned

    I refused to get a netflix subscription until this show. I know the lore. The trailers looked awesome and I thought the series would be good. I did not expect it to be 1/10th as good as it has been.
    Unlike Viktor and Jayce. Riot and Fortiche, in their quest for greatness, succeeded. I am mostly upset that none of the coworkers I have told about the show have watched it yet.
    If it were up to me, this show would get all the rewards and accolades and views in the world. I have no idea how many times I've watched acts 1 & 2, I've watched act 3 twice already. (once with another youtubers commentary) I went to bed early just to wake up super early to watch. I've spent an insane amount of time watching youtubers reacting to the episodes. All in all, I've become obsessed.
    Edit: and like my subscription to Hulu just to watch Rez Dogs, I will probably cancel my subscription to netflix until the show comes back. Though I doubt it, because I am sure I will rewatch Arcane many many times more.

The way that you articulate yourself feels like it simultaneously fleshes out what I was already thinking while also adding things I never thought about.

  •  2 роки тому +53

    What's interesting is that, as a league of Legends player, I wish I knew nothing when I watched this season. Cause I know where some characters are going and what their relationship is meant to be. That's why some tensions fell flat for me. But still, I loved it, and on the other side, so much were teased in the last episode that can only speak to league players.
    I think this ending will slowly take us to leave Piltover in season 2. New Noxus characters should be introduced (to take advantage of this mess), so maybe we will see how things are in this nation. And by the look of Sky's book, seems like she's from Ionia. Maybe this will lead to Ionian introduction. There are so many possible directions and more than 100 champions left to introduced. Arcane has a Marvel like potential here.

    I honestly think the political decisions that had to be made, altho obvious at times, held more weight for that reason. We weren't left in the dark, or finding out in a twist what the weight of these decisions were to be. We knew from the get go, through experience and how they paralleled real life events, how impactful and dreadful at times these decisions were that needed to be made. I believe the almost "impending doom" of these "obvious" choices added a much needed weight to the spine of the story arc.

    I wonder if the character rush - especially in the politics - was in part due to the three-act structure resolving as kind of three contained arcs, and they just didn't have time for it in the mini-story part 3 was telling as part of a greater whole.

      About the Noxian, rumors point out about a next season expliring that region, so that would be very intentional. Outside of that, anyone who knows Noxus from the game, has an idea about the intrigues that were presented.

It's pretty much the only place where I felt the show told, instead of showing, as we're frequently reminded that Jayce is the de-facto head, but we never get snippets of him flexing his muscles on other council members. I don't think it should've gone down a whole sideplot with it or something, but snippets of him talking to other council members than Mel would be nice.

Would Netflix have purchased a 13 episode season? And how much would that've cost? Plus, there's more seasons to come and the writers can flesh out the characters. Overall, I have no complaints. Honestly, they really went for it and it's refreshing to see, especially on Netflix which doesn't always have top tier programming. Moreover, I think this changes the game. Video game publishers have the money and the tech to do more stuff like this - but do they have the writers? The writing in this was amazing!!! I could go on forever but this series has been the biggest and best surprise all year.

      Viktor takes the top spot but followed closely by Silco damn his arc is to good, from not understanding what caused vander to abandon their goal, and solely devoting his life to unify the nation of Zaun to acknowledging how now he understood what vander felt and would choose jinx and give up his dream of the nation of Zaun. Im excited for season 2.

    Snippets ep9: at 22:01 we see Vi’s Blast Shield skill. At 34:58 we see Jinx with her cannon named Fishbone and at 35:24 she used her ultimate called Super mega death rocket. At 36:12 we see Singed sitting and at the foreground a person/beast he is creating, that is Warwick and I have a feeling that was Vander base on the beard alone.

    This is bar none the best series of the year. As a league player and knowing where these characters go from here, I think the ending could be left as is.
    But for the show watchers, and we know a lot of you came on board due to how great this show is, they will need to take the story further.
    As a gamer I'd like to see the studio explore other parts of this world and bring us new stories of characters I know and love from the game.
    But as a show watcher I'd also like to see how far they can take this story from here.
    So I am torn here.
    The animation studio took 6 years to complete this project and to keep up this quality of animation I think they will need a similar amount of time to complete another season. Which means they will have to pick and choose. If they do another season of the Piltover/Zaun storyline then it's unlikely we will get to see other parts of Runeterra presented in this manner.

    I’m ngl I didn’t like the show that much but that’s for my own personal expectations and bias. So I watch a lot of Netflix shows so if I get bored I tend to not pay attention as much bc I’ve seen so many diff concepts that it gets predictable. Which in this series, I’m ngl it happened. Also I’m a league player so for most of us (I’d assume) we’d be more interested in the league champions’ character arcs and screen time, which I was. I focused way more on watching the league champs but I hated the way some of them were so stereotypical, not rly explored to certain aspects, and had many scenes that were kinda random and I feel were solely there for a cool action sequence(which since it was so cool it’s excused). I think what rly influenced my thinking were the trailers though. (Also some lore Ik but that’s like one or two details) I came into the story with the expectation of the whole thing being circled around how jinx and vi, their character development, sisterhood, and the invention of hextech and how these two come across a villain etc. Idk but something more abt those two but they honestly felt like side characters. I think with that expectation I was super excited to meet the two, learn their story, and see their development. But vi doesn’t rly have any of that and she contradicts some of her actions which defined her motivations in the show. And with jinx I was SO excited to see her bc she had always been a favorite before I even started playing like 6 years ago. (I loved her character design and eccentric individuality) But her character was so boring, lowkey cringe at points and predictable. She wasn’t fully established as a person I could rly understand bc clearly she’d always had issues which definitely created hallucinative symptoms and psychosis which idk Ig I would’ve like to see them develop. Idk I felt as though she wasn’t rly fully looked into bc they’re r so many flashbacks shown after the first three episodes and or glitches Ig but it’s for a few seconds. She felt one dimensional is what I’m saying, like the whole “I’m just so crazy” has been seen so often in cinema that it gives off the “im so quirky” type vibe Ig? Her arc of when she fully becomes crazy felt anticlimactic too, and when the two sister met again. Since my initial expectation was abt their kind of ying and yang (by that I mean initially I expected vi would be a police officer from piltover after the guy took her and jinx would be a murderous prankster from zaun that terrorizes the ppl of piltover) relationship I’d thought it would have more build up to it. Their relationship was just not as convoluted as I’d like. My other problem with it were the random scenes. They might not necessarily be random bc keep in mind if it wasn’t interesting aka no league champ was on screen, i was not rly paying much attention, however there were a lot of characters introduced who hardly spoke or had any real purpose except for plot progression. Example, the council members, (who btw r literally just jayce and the black girl(sry I can’t remember names besides lol champs) the other council members talked, and there was a lil gossip abt them to give them more character but literally every decision made was unanimous to whatever the other two said (which was rly just the black girl) idk there were hardly no conflicting arguments and in a political establishment Ig I didn’t rly like that. Bc it’s just there to move the plot forward which made it feel so fast and graced over such a big deal. Another example would be the girl who liked Victor(he had great character, development, and motive btw which is what I wished for everyone) she had literally like two scenes, her being introduced/ hinting she liked victor, and her death scene, this was to show the book Ig but again another character added just to move the plot along. Personally I don’t like it when shows do that bc for these characters their impact was essential for the plot, but they’re, as established characters, are actually just so insignificant . Ig the main problem for me would just be abt the pacing though. Bc all of these factors could be easily fixed if they just had more room for more episodes which is why I wish it were maybe 12 instead of 9. This is why I rly enjoyed the first three episodes bc they were all pretty evenly paced well except for the last scene in episode 3 when they get split up that felt a lil fast. But everything before that was rly good. The whole thing felt rushed which would explain all my negative opinions but yea. Obviously the art and the music was AMAZING like the mix of 2D and 3D art and the beats that just slapped, omg it was breathtaking. Also applauds on the voice acting, so diverse, and lowkey v satisfying, like everyone had such a nice voice and crisp accents. This is all my opinion and I do wanna be fair abt it since I wasn’t as immersed as others might have been to truely take in the show but yea, that’s just how I felt abt it. Idk maybe if I rewatch it and actually focus on other aspects then I’d enjoy it more. That bridge scene with ekko and jinx was sick though

    I have never played LoL or know anything about the lore. But game adaptions is not really known for being good, though there are exceptions like the Castlevania series. So I did not have very high expectations going into it, but holy crap did it exceed my expectations. I think it is pretty much a perfect show, but that of course depends on how season 2 is, as the ending does not feel final. But overall I really don't have anything real to complain about, just an amazing ride from beginning to end. The writing, the characters, the actors and the insanly good visuals are all masterclass filmmaking. I can't give it anything but a 10/10, as I want more now!
    I think I will let it breath for a couple of weeks and I will rewatch it again.
