    The “poor people” area is not directly underground piltover, but across a bridge (the one they crossed). The underground area is just a portion of the “poor people” area, when they were talking and the moon appeared, they were in the upper portion of the “poor people” area

      @@jayfrancelf I have, multiple times I’m not knocking it but it’s not on the level of the top shows ever made, it’s just one season, a really good one but just one great season does not catapult it into the conversation with the best shows ever made. It’s good, I’ve recommended it to many people and not a one of them dislikes it. But come on dude this ain’t The Wire or Breaking Bad or The Sopranos or Deadwood or Mad Men or Better Call Saul or Six Feet Under or The West Wing or Homicide: Life on the streets , hell it’s not even at Buffy the Vampire Slayer levels yet, if it can keep up this level of quality in future seasons then sure it’ll be in the conversation but 1 single season does not get you on to that list.

    At the end Vi and Powder were looking at the entirety of the city of Piltover, not all of the undercity is actually underground, some of it is above ground, the main focus is the bridge and the river that divides the two sections. Hence the song Powder sings which is about a child from Vi and Powder's side asking for a coin from somone on the more rich side.
    Dear friend across the river
    My hands are cold and bare
    Dear friend across the river
    I'll take what you can spare
    I ask of you a penny
    My fortune it will be
    I ask you without envy

    hi Imon, so the area they live is called "the lanes." Old shipping dock that no longer in use sorta like the Panama Cannel that drains and floods the levels to get ships across, the lanes is dry so they can mine for minerals. Vander used to be a miner. The issue with mining are the natural gases and the pooling of heavier gases at the bottom without proper ventilation. The top of the lanes is uncovered and at ground level so technically they are under ground but below sea level not in ground if that makes sense.

    Prior to watching this series, I knew absolutely nothing about _League of Legends._ After this first episode though, I fell in love with the lore. When the series was done, I tried to go and get into the game, but it just wasn't for me. Amazing story though, and I'm glad that they made this series.
    The world itself reminds me of that old PS Vita game _Gravity Rush_ however, the way it has this fantastical steam punkish kind of vibe to it. Just beautiful all around.

      As a long time League player, I feel bad for people who got inspired to play after this show, the community is pretty toxic and is not very welcoming to new players, however, the lore for all of the champions and characters in Runeterra are amazing. The MMO should be coming out soon which would likely be the best place to enjoy the lore and world without having to feel like catching up with league players

The game does have a large learning curve and it’s definitely not for everyone but that’s ok. What I tell people is that the producer Riot Games has always done phenomenal cinematics and music videos promoting the game and if they’re interested you should definitely check them out, there’s no need to play the game to enjoy the beautiful work they’ve done in media.

    It's not exactly "under" underground. It's below ground level but they aren't exactly "under" the ground if that makes sense. They're in a trench, or at least 1/4 of the city is. Just think of the whole city (topside and the undercity) in a diagonal landscape like it's resting on a hill where the downtown part of the city goes into a steep decline.
    They never explicitly explain the layout of the city in the series but you can piece together some dialogues that point to that. Also you can see a glimpse of how steep the trench is if you look at 10:16. At the background you can see the 'V' of the trench.

  • @sandmansleeps657
    @sandmansleeps657 2 роки тому +1

    They're twin cities fyi. It's basically the idea of a lower and upper city of different classes (like most dystopian fiction), but they're technically two places with one exploiting the other. Zaun is in a canyon, while Piltover is at the highest point as a city in the clouds basically. Zaun collects the resources that Piltover uses to further their tech and become powerful/rich.
    Imagine Dubai versus the outer borders of the country.

  • @DirtPoorWargamer
    @DirtPoorWargamer 2 роки тому +2

    A little background that might help to clear some things up: The revolution at the beginning didn't result in the separation of the two cities; they were always separate. Piltover (Topside) is built entirely on exploiting the resources and labor of Zaun (the Undercity), while Zaun remains subordinate to Piltover, and unrepresented on the Council.

    "It's like they don't even want to SEE the poor people -"
    It's actually kind of amazing you would say that: because that's *exactly* what their logic is.
    In the canon lore for the game - Piltover is just built vertically - there is no bridge connecting the lower and upper parts. The higher up you go, the richer the people get.
    And the lower you go - the worse the air quality. At the lower levels, the smog is so thick it's essentially like fog - you can't see into it from far away.
    The richest in Piltover never even have to *look* at the people upon whom's backs their fortune is made by slaving away in their factories.
    They call the chemical fog "the grey" in the canon lore - and it is fatal when inhaled for too long in those lowest parts of the city.
    *Everyone* should be wearing a mask down there - but the poor? They just have to deal with it. :/

    the opening song that powder is singing is a interesting piece of world building. it’s a song of reconciliation. the people of the underground making a plea to their “dear friend across the river”. the juxtaposition with the violent uprising suggests that the people of the undercity have been pushed to violence.

    Greetings Imon I subscribed to your channel to see your reactions to this series, I like that by not knowing about LoL you will have a freer mind of its elements and possible spoilers that the game gives you, the beginning will mark you with the series and the protagonists already show you their drama without saying anything (a filmmaker once said "show don't tell") the animation tells us that the designs are unique for each character and they insisted on it, they are not the typical formats of change of hair or eye color, they are imperfect and gesticulate their expressions making them more human than those who either move a lot with their bodies or simply speak from stillness only moving their lips, it seems to me a lesson for the animations, the dust looks animated and the lighting puts you in context, we could talk about everything in Arcane having rhyme but you will see that later, remember the position, colors and context of the images and it might remind you of the Powder song on the bridge , the one in the intro too but don't look for the video clip until after the third episode or you'll get a spoiler, the lyrics have a lot to do with it and part of them is only understood later. I ask you to read this and greetings from the very south of the world.

    Sorry for a double post but in regards to city layout imagine topside is above ground and then sort of imagine the underground is really more of a cliff drop down. The narrow strip/the undercity was the result of a failed canal project so basically imagine a large empty canal where the poor people of the undercity live. It goes down far so while there is a sky far up above its not easily seen/visible. Vi took powder to the outskirts of piltover basically where they finally get out of the trench and into the open air so they can get a look of the city before them and to show powder the mishaps that has happened to each of the other kids. The air is bad quality due to the mining of toxic gases found in the area. That’s why the underground has a green misty look to it, residual gases from the mining. That’s the same reason why enforcers wear oxygen masks when going into the undercity.
