there is a theory about singed and orianna. so in the original story the father of orianna was a toy maker. it got rewritten to prosthetics engineer. both things are hinted in the show. singed admires the toy boat that viktor created and singed probably designed the augmented arm of sevika. and furthermore and thats where it gets a bit creepy, orianna is sometimes just called ori, and that is an anagram for rio. and rio is the "a rare mutation" singed "cultivated" that "must survive". so maybe his daughter orianna got sick and he had to preserve her body, maybe even turned her into rio and hopes to get her back in the future.
One little detail: The last few remakes they did on characters all have Arcane into consideration (Interactions of Swain, Fiddlesticks and Warwick). So there's hope that Swain appears on season 2, taking into consideration that Noxus is now in play.
Yeah but arcane is not in the same canon universe as the the league of legends game lore. It's two separate universes. If you actually read the actual lore of Leauge of Legends you would see it's not the same as arcane. Their are major differences between the two. For example in the lore jace and Caitlyn never actually knew each other like they do in Arcane. Read Jace's lore and Victor's lore and as well as Ekko's lore from the game and you will see some huge differences from the arcane series.
@@starknight2262 Meh, arcane is 110% canon. It's just have has it's own vison, and all league cinematic have own perspective on story if you don't see. League lore is very fluid and changes very often and that's it, don't confuse people.
@@starknight2262 Arcane is and will be the canon source for now on, everything in the previous lore will be or is in the process of being retconned for the Arcane cinematic universe.
36:10 -> At the moment we don't know yet what's canon and what's not, the development of the universe is still new. For now I think they stated that Arcane is its own thing but I'm sure down the line they will retcon the other sources to fit Arcane's story and make Arcane canon. There are a good number of things in Arcane that are different from the website lore written stories and biographies. For example Jayce's and Viktor's storylines are changed a lot for Arcane, their personalities as well. That's because a lot of the stuff in the lore is hard to use to fit in a story like Arcane where multiple character storylines need to fuse with one another. In the website they are more independant stories.
I think it is different but also it is not, since they changed a few lore things in LoL too that seem to fit the Narrative of Arcane. I guess you could see it is "in a slight alternate reality" thing
Why do people keep up voting this, each thing clearly had their own lore, lol, the card game, and arcane all have different lores so each can be considered a different cannon
Some of Vander's grunts and growls when he's taken the shimmer are almost exactly Warwick's snarls in the game, and a major point of Warwick's history is that the transformation that lead to him becoming Warwick didn't fully take until he died. Given that they've released a teaser announcing that a Season 2 in production and it ends with the musical sting loop that represents Warwick's Blood Hunt ability from the game, it's certain that he's going to be a factor of the next season. There was a lot of implications and supposition from the lore elements in the game that all the characters from Piltover and Zaun had some kind of large web of connections between them, in between cinematics, story pieces, bits and pieces of lore and character interactions, but it wasn't ever really spelled out objectively until now. Arcane is basically one massive confirmation sequence of all the lore people had been assuming for a few years now. Also, that one video with the 'easter egg' about cupcakes and Caitlyn being called cupcake and being 'similar' to the Bittersweet Lulu skin cupcakes, I'd have basically instantly dismissed that entire video on the grounds the dude making it is an idiot. Caitlyn in game has an ability, Yordle Snap Trap, that places a bear trap with those exact same kind of cupcakes on the pressure plate. This is where the 'cupcake' appellation comes from but this brainlet clickfarmer video just wants pretend internet points as fast as possible, so he does a surface level scrape 'secrets' video that gets a lot of details wrong. 'The Lanes' could be a cheeky reference to the lanes of the map, sure, but the Black Lanes is an area of Zaun that fits where they would have been. The krug in the cage is mentioned as being from Legends of Runeterra but they use a screencap of the jungle camp of krugs from the MOBA, which tells me that not only does he not know what he's talking about, but he's also shit at researching the subject. Orianna also isn't Singed's daughter, she was the daughter of an inventor that replaced parts of her body with clockwork prosthetics as parts of her body failed from an illness she contracted trying to help people in Zaun deal with toxic gases. Singed had nothing to do with it, so whatever conclusion this guy jump to is flat out wrong.
Love the reactions, it's always cool to see people enjoy the amazing world of Runeterra! Alright! So, to make the wait a bit shorter, there's plenty of other Runeterra related videos you can watch. - Awaken, another amazing music video with some of the regions. - Kin of the Stained Blade, you like the guy with goku hair? You'll love this vid! - Warwick: The Wrath of Zaun, a short video teaser about Warwick. Since you guys now know it's most likely Vander there's nothing spoiled - Fiddlesticks: Terror in Demacia, If you thought the shadow Isles guy (Thresh) was the stuff of nightmares.. Watch this and find out who really is. - Ekko: Seconds, The teaser video for Ekko's release in the game, this shows a bit more about what Ekko can do, so if you don't want to see that yet, skip this one! - Call of Power | Ryze Cinematic, a video about Ryze, the runemage (who was definitely not in arcane by the way, the timeline wouldn't add up if that was Ryze in his previuos human form) - New Expansion: Empires of the Ascended, A video about the Shurima region in Runeterra, featuring my favourite champion Renekton. - New Expansion & Region: Call of the Mountain, A video about Mount Targon. These are some, there are more.. if you end up watching these I'll make another list, Enjoy!
Vander was referred to in episode 1 as "The Hound of the Underground." As well as being called a "lapdog." Plus a bunch of other teases early on. Some very good teases.
lol in my case. I didn't pay attention to the small details when I started Arcane since I know some of the Characters. My misfire in the details was I thought Vander will be Dr. Mundo in the future stories, I don't know why I think of that I just did after he inject himself with shimmer in the end then my second misfire was I thought Silco = Swain, again idk why I think that I just randomly did without thinking it through. lol
i was just like you, i went into arcane blind (i only really knew jinx and i loved her even before the show) but i got into the lore because of the show. im glad you guys are learning more about the world too! so fun to see :D
53:55 no it's Camille, but she's also a Piltover champion so it is possible that we will see her in season 2 Also sad fact these two ladies, Leona (Sun lady with a shield) and Diana ( Moon lady) when they were younger were lovers, but unfortunately Diana became an aspect of the moon and Leona became an aspect of the sun and because their people do not like each other very much they became a part of their conflict and now they are fighting each other (although they still love each other judging by this "look" they had at the end) so in fact these two lovers who died really reflect the love of Diana and Leon from their youth, but the difference is that Leona and Diana were afraid to tell the truth about their relationship because Solari and Lunari didn't like each other (although we didn't really know it when this trailer was released because their romantic relationship was not officially confirmed by Riot at the time but fans have suspected for many years that there was something between them, just like with Caitlyn and Vi, fans have always suspected they were a couple, but only Arcane really confirmed that) and if you want to know more about Diana and Leona, read the story "Rise with me"(that was realesed six months ago and this oficially confirmed that Leona and Diana were a couple) , this story tells about the youth of Leona and Diana, how they met and of course how they start to love each other and how their romance began, you can read the story on the official website of the league of legends, it's really good story
Maybe not because Camille's ancestors in main canon invented Hextech, but in the show it is Jayce and Viktor. She would have to be an old woman to be Camille, but she only lived so long because she enhanced her body with Hextech, which is relatively new in current day Arcane.
@@MrMeddyman Camille's ancestors didn't invent Hextech? Jayce always was the one who did, the timelines a bit different because the crystals were still used to power stuff before Hextech. I think Hextech refers to a particular application for the crystals to replicate magic
As I read it, they were just good friends, besties. As it's with Vi and Caithlyn - there was no real mention of them being a couple. hey just get along really well. no need to make people LGBT without need, okay?
Some explanations, Targon : Mount Targon is the highest mountain of Runeterra , Solari and Lunari are mortals enemies who worship Celestial beings knows as Aspects. Leona (Shield and Sword) is the Aspect host of the Sun ( Solari) and Diana (Crescent Sword) is the Aspect host of the Moon (Lunari) they are former lovers. Blidgewater is the pirates part of Runeterra Ionia is an other region with an Asian theme. Warriors 2020 Cinematic : -Demacia is an anti-mage society and Sylas ( guy with the chains) attack them because He was discriminated due to his powers. The big statue coming from the sky is Galio a statue of Demacia who activate in presence of magic that's why Lux shoot up to the sky so that Galio came to help her and her brother Garen. -The girl who shoot some projectiles in the cave is Kai'sa a girl who got infected by a creature from the Void , to make it simple the Void is another dimension with some horrible creatures who try go get through. The guy with her is Ezreal with an magic gauntlet . Little detail the thing Ezreal stole in this cave is a Tear of Goddess an actual item from the game always build on Ezreal.
14:02 same reaction, but the reverse when Viktor revealed his name in episode 2. You see, League players have never seen human Viktor or his face before, ever.
I'd like to point out that not everything that we know is true in league is technically going to be the same on the show. A lot of these characters are being rewritten constantly by riot, and also their designs. Example: Cait, vi and Ekko look very different from the game, and their lore is also kinda different on the game. Singed is more cruel, Jayce is more of an awful person, etc etc.
Being a big watcher of anime the pace at which Arcane episodes were released and the schedule for a new season maybe only being a year away is fucking light speed. Gotta love it
9:10 Also, two more things I noticed regarding the „Vander turns into Warwick“ Theory: - in the very first Coversation we see Vander having in the bar, when he defends that hunched merchant guy, the two cutthroats say to him: „So you’re Vander. *Hound of the Underground* . I expected something… younger“. Struck me like „oh damn that’s an obvious nod“ on my first rewatch - second: when Vander drinks the shimmer in episode three and then kills Deckard, the sounds he makes in his shimmer form are VERY VERY reminiscent of Warwick’s various ingame Sounds, especially to those you hear when Warwick chases enemies with his „Blood Hunt“ ability or jumps on them with „Jaws of the Beast“
fun fact: a writer on arcane said in a tweet that if they would ever do another region/story, she would love to write for the freljord. And it all works out cause braum, the guy with the shield, hes voiced by jb blanc, the same guy that voices vander.
17:32 dunno if you guys will see this, but... Orianna got very bad when she breathed a quimic toxic on the air in zaun, her lungs starting failling and her father made a surgery by himself on his daughter. The lungs now was robot lungs and after some time, Orianna was sick again. Slowly both made a prostheses of every single organ so she could live it. She slowly loses her memory before the transformation and her father also get sick, but then she talked with quimic Baron (someone like Silco) and he gave it her a hextech gem. She made her final decision and the most sad choice: Orianna builds a prosthese of a heart that would hold the hextech gem and replace her own heart. Then she change her father with a sick heart...with the last thing he had from his daughter: her heart was inside him and he got better. After a time, he sold every doll on his store (He was one of best on this thing, If I not wrong *Hope not and if i do be wrong, i'm sowwy*..he sold many kinds of dolls...except for tehe "white and golden doll" (Orianna).
Really happy to see you again on league videos, especially now that you bring Arcane back and its hidden details and took a taste on cinematics. Another good quality cinematic like Warriors is Awaken if you ever want to watch it and also Kin of The Stained Blade, my favorite at the moment because it has history and feels almost like a movie. Keep up the good work guys, cheers! 50:41 Since i saw you were a little confused on this part of the video well basically the guy with the chains is named Sylas, in game he can steal other characters abilities when he catches you using his chains 50:14. The sword itself is not an ability but when you playing with Garen (the buffed sword man) you can use your ultimate to summon a big as magic sword on your enemy and instantly execute him when having low life. 50:57 Pretty much what was going to happen if his sister Lux hadn't revealed her powers to call Galio 51:23.
Probably too late to comment, but that last video you guys watched is crazy to me. It came out 8-9 years ago, I watched it, it was just a cool video. That last giant monkey she fought was the same monkey that killed her family, the screws on top of the head show it was the one she broke, fixed, and then used. Her dream was interrupted by the PSTD that is her monkey bomb, adding size to really hit home that is her largest obstacle to overcome, not in reality, but in her head. 55:43 is the time stamp for where the monkey is.
Love that you guys went so in depth, here!! There were so many details that kept popping up and explained so many game interactions. My favorite is when Swain, a demon possessed tyrant of Noxus, reads Jinx's darkest secret and says "Faces in the flames... It was all her fault..." And only now do we know why. Edit: Madison has it right, Leona and Diana (sun and moon priestesses) were once in love but now opposed and everyone is hoping they get back together.
So, Ekko's board in Arcane was, as far as we know, the first true hoverboard, but it was designed specifically to work in the fissures of Zaun, where the air is denser. Ekko's design here was likely just a test to see what the power source was capable of on a short amount of time. The time in between Heimerdinger's re-acquiring of the power core and the unveiling of the hoverboard was clearly a longer period of time than between Ekko's acquisition of the core and his creation of the wheeled board prototype (as shown by night going to day in the final scenes), which meant Heimerdinger had more time to work on it. On top of that, Ekko's initial hoverboard design worked well in the fissures, but probably wasn't super efficient for flight above ground (remember Heimerdinger's comment about the blades being "improperly pitched"). The original boards did work well enough for them to launch that attack on the air ship in episode 4, but who knows how they had to rig their boards, or if they were relying on vastly more limited flight time than they were used to?(This may just be me, but the boards in the airship attack scene seem to move a little slower than they do in the Vi and Jinx tower reunion) This power core is clearly more powerful (for it's size) than anything Heimerdinger has worked with before at this point, meaning it enables more advanced technologies, such as viable sustained hoverboard flight in the clearer air above Piltover. Ekko's wheeled board merely gave Heimerdinger the idea for the core's application. Also note, Heimerdinger's hoverboard has booster ports at the bottom from which a blue fire/magical energy escapes during flight. Ekko's original, old board was basically a really powerful giant fan that he could ride on.
I love that you guys got to see Viktor's League outfit. In episode 2 when Viktor dropped his name, my jaw actually dropped and I screamed because he looked nothing like what he did in game and I thought he was just an important non-game character that was going to be prevelant in the show.
The Enemy music video was originally in this video. We recorded it and everything. But youtube blocked the video 3 times because of it (it was supposed to be posted yesterday) and we couldn't wait any longer because we have other videos planned so it got cut out. But people seem to really be enjoying these videos so maybe we'll do another one with more cinematics and include the Enemy reaction that we already recorded.
@@MACReact You can react on nearly everything about League of Legends. The song enemy gets blocked because the Imagine Dragons own the song. The rest like 'Awaken' or the Annie-Cinematic are free to watch
I find it funny how in the Zaun/Piltover one everyone immediately is like "Heimerdinger stole Ekko's design". Completely forgetting, that Ekko could only design this with the powercell that Heimerdinger invented, a stolen idea made from a stolen idea? They're at least even. And Heimer didn't even steal it, he was inspired by it and made something else entirely. Apparently pop culture makes us assume injustice at the very first, even so that's not at all the message of the trailer.
I agree with everyone here of going down the league rabbit hole once in a while. So much interesting stuff you can cover but is good to keep also doing what your doing! Love the reactions!
ok, so Arcane is its own thing loosely connected to league lore, like how the MCU features characters from the Marvel comics, but doesnt follow the same lore. Arcane is the MCU to League's comics, so the cinematics and stuff are more based on league OG lore because they were made to promote the game, not the TV show. Some things from the Progress day cinematic especially show this. Heimer loves hextech in the cinematic vs heimer hates hextech in Arcane. Ekko has a hoverboard in arcane, but not in the main canon. Jinx is harley quinn in OG, but is just the trauma queen in arcane.
At the end of the Get Jinx'd video, she does a little finger gun and shoots the monkey. They pay homage to that with Powder doing a finger gun and shootingan enforcer in the Enemies video for Arcane. Note, Get Jinx'd came out in 2012. So Arcane, and the title track Enemies, both referenced a decade old music video multiple times
I absolutely loved this video you guys made. I've been playing league since 2016 so to get all my thoughts out, I'd have to write an essay, which'll Ill spare you. I'll just include some important tidbits: I wish the Viktor 'final form' wasn't 'spoiled' for you guys lol. Now you're kind of expecting it to go in that direction. It's really funny that you guys said "that's Viktor!?" because every single league player, when we first saw Viktor in the show, as a regular human, we were like, "omg THAT'S what Viktor used to look like!?" What do Twisted Fate's cards do? Blue one replenishes his Mana when it hits an enemy, Red one does area damage when hitting an enemy (in the video there was an explosion), and the Yellow one stuns the enemy you hit Noxus is one of the coolest areas. It's a hyper aggressive, violent expansionist empire. It's home to some of the absolute coolest champs in League, including, as youve seen, Darius (axe guy, he is exceptionally strong). I wont spoil it, but his brother's super cool too. They have no prejudice at all, if you're strong you advance, if you're weak, you're gone. Oh and the girl from the Noxus short isn't a playable character, I think she's just there to showcase what Noxus is about So this is becoming an essay.... Garen was fighting Sylas (the guy with the chains). The blonde girl is his sister Lux. They're from Demacia, where magic is outlawed, so Lux was basically 'revealing' her power. Sylas was imprisoned for doing magic, which is why he's still got the chains around his arms. The colossal statue at the end is Galio. Vi and Cait were fighting Urgot. The blonde dude's Ezreal (really cool character) and the girl who saved him is Kai'sa. The thing Ezreal stole is called 'Tear of the Goddess'. And those little monsters are voidlings. Blue sword guy is Yasuo (probably the strongest character), Yellow robot guy is Blitzcrank, rock guy is Malphite, foxtail girl is Ahri (a fan favourite, a lot of cosplays) shield mustache guy is Braum, knife leg woman is Camille, and the really cool masked armoured ninja guy is Zed, really cool plays. Okay Im done! Final bit of info. A few years ago they had a major lore update. They hired Graham McNeil, an author who writes a lot of Warhammer 40K (which, no surprise, Im also really into) novels and he brought a lot of that 'grimdark' atmosphere to the League lore. I credit him a lot with the huge boost in the lore quality. I recommend you guys watch the following link, it's a trailer (with Ahri mostly). It's from a while ago, but still cool. Maybe youve already seen it? But still cool! ua-cam.com/video/vzHrjOMfHPY/v-deo.html
One more hint at Vander being Warwick that I don't see mentioned (sorry if it is). I've seen people pause at the right time on the finale when Jinx is getting confused with Vi reminding her of everyone. She starts seeing the little scratchies around the characters. When she mentions Vander, he has an outline like that of Warwick.
Yass, been waiting for this! I really loveeee these cinematic as well. Please react to others league vid/cinematic especially awaken cinematic and lol 2021 worlds opening ceremony (it had arcane theme you'd love to see!)
warwick in the game has quotes to vi and jinx, to jinx he says "You were there, let me forget" and to vi he mocks her saying "Who taught you how to punch?!"
The regional videos (Piltover/Zaun, Ionia, Bilgewater, etc) are for the Legends of Runeterra card game. They don't follow the Arcane continuity. They just showcase the regions that appear in the game. A deck can have up to 2 regions (some exceptions apply) and the cards from that region specialize in different things.
it would be really nice if you guys could check out more of LoL cinematics, they're not only just like about the lore of the game and its characters, there's quite a variety to them, like, Riot Games made like music group/band with their characters like KDA, Pentakill (which i think was mention in one of the vid you guys watched) and True Damage (which Ekko is in it n Yasuo, the samurai guy with like the Goku-like hair). Basically there are quite a lot of amazing cinematics that they've done and so instead of you guys freezing yourself till Arcane S2 comes out n leaving us with no contents XD it'd be nice to see you guys react to more of those
There are some insane details that forshadow the season. Such as vi grabing powerder the same way vander grabed silco on the bridge. Elo sitting on the chair in a similar way on 7 jinx does on 9. The rocket launcher with eye scar similar to silco and refer to silco love for shark the 1st ep.
Vander isn't quite a werewolf, Singed pumped all sorts of genes and chemicals into him. He's a sort of chimera that just looks primarily like a wolf, with limited human memories.
Regarding Warwick (Vander after he becomes a werewolf): in the Arcane season 2 announcement video you can hear his theme at the end of the video, so he will most likely be quite an important character in season 2... but damn I can't imagine how the interactions between him and Jinx, Vi and Ekko as well as what his relationship with Singed (his creator) will be... + Viktor's glorious evolution is gonna be dope af. Those two factors alone will make season 2 really hype.
36:33 to answer your question about who the kid on the board is, it seems to be just a random student at the academy but hes totally the character from the artwork on the Legends Of Runeterra card named Amateur Aeronaut so youre right hes not a playable character, a lot of these videos seem to show little backstories of cards from the game that were just artwork before
Another fun tidbit about Vander maybe being Warwick, is that in episode one where Vander confronts the people trying to rip off the little professor guy, they say "So you're Vander, the Hound of the Underground" so... that's kinda awesome
sooooo... the second video you guys watched was kinda weird, a lot of things didnt make sense like: - The cupcakes kinda look like lulu's cupcakes, but they were there as an easter egg for caitlyn. That was a kiramman's house after all, so they were a hint that cait was somehow involved with that place. Also not only vi calls her cupcake in LOL, she has A LOT of interactions calling her cupcake in Legends of Runeterra (league's card game). -saying the eggs close to the Krugs were possibly bc of Teemo's skin, but skins have they're own separate universe so it would be weird to merge with the cannon universe. Also krugs are first (and more known) from league and not legends of runeterra...the picture the guy shows is literally in leagues map (i'm being picky, i know). - to be fair that could be ryze, but only if they retcon a lot, and i mean A LOT of his lore, bc ryze is centuries old, by the time he got blue there was already a rune war, so it would be weird to see him normal after centuries. (But that as i said could be retconed and they could make that mage ryze anyway :/ ). - "themed pirate shooting range" THERE IS LITERALLY A REGION CALLED BILGEWATER THAT IS ALL THEMED ABOUT PIRATES, that shooting range is themed around there. The guy in the video made NO research at all....... -again, that shooting range is inspired by Bilgewater, pirates, that statue was a OBVIOUS nod to mermaids. WHY THE FCK would that be cassiopeia? she's not only from noxus, she's also not that famous to the point of being used as a muse for a shooting game.............. Other than that it was ok, but weird. Sorry if i was too picky lol
the most signicant hint to me was when vander is on the bridge and takes the shimmer. as he turns towards silco and screams hes name. the voice is very distorted, almost beast-like. one could say very close to warwick`s voice.
For the Shadow Isles one.. as soon as the get walked about 10 feet away from the wards, Thresh knew he was there. Thresh always knew when someone set foot on the Shadow Isles, and he loves torture, so he probably freed the father's soul with a task he couldn't refuse... lure the son away from the wards. Thresh then spooked him and he dropped the gold liquid that protected him from the Black Mist of the Isles. That's why, when he almost fell of that ledge and looked at his hands, that was his soul trying to leave his body. Thresh could also teleport anywhere on the Isles so really it wasn't a chase as much as prolonged torture. The best opinions for the kids death are 1) the Black Mist slowly killed him over the course of a few minutes (totally feasible) 2) Thresh sent a hook his way and that's why he fell, then Thresh just punished the mother by watching her son's soul get ripped away.
There's little hints here and there to point out Vander is Warwick: Episode 1 they call him the "Hound of the underworld" Episode 3 Silco says "you're just a lapdog. I'll show you what you really are" and also when he kills Deckard you can hear him growling like a dog. It's a detail that fans took notice.
The characters as they are in Arcane are different (sometimes significantly) than they are in the games. Jinx isn't really a murderer and generally just sticks to vandalism, destroying property or otherwise disrupting the day-to-day operations in Piltover.
A good sign to look for if you ask yourself when does something takes place is jinx eyes. If she has pink eyes (from the shimmer) it's after she got "transformed" if the eyes are blue it's before.
Ah! I was wondering if you'd see Get Jinxed somewhere. There we go! The beauty of it was... this was our intro to Jinx. Insta crush for the Blue Lady! :D (And now... now... darkness... and love!)
The Monkey bomb is Jinx's champion spell in the card game. The card is called get excited. The activation cost is to discard 1 of your own cards to deal 3 damage to anything. Arcane kept the flavor that the monkey bomb is powerful at the cost of sacrificing something (in the case of arcane Mylo, Claggor, and Vander)
They're trying to connect Singed to Orianna's father which would make him 50000 times more interesting as a character because we already know Orianna's father was a man from Zaun named Corin Reveck who just created clockwork gadgetry and lived a humble life with his daughter until one day his daughter became terminally ill breathing toxic fumes while trying to help other Zaunites in a major fume leak. He replaces parts of her piece by piece as the infection spreads until at some point his daughter is gone and Orianna this unfeeling machine is all that's left, Orianna would leave her father one day without a word and is never heard from again. Singed is the most important character in League because of what he will go on to do, shifting the balance of the biggest war in Runeterra by supplying Noxus with chemical weapons that they'll use to attack Ionia and effecting the arcs so many other champions like Yasuo, Riven, Master Yi and creating Warwick. He's low-key one of the most important characters because if he didn't do what he will soon come to do none of these other champions would have the arcs they have without Singed.
Turbo chemtank is actually an image of item in the game where it grants you "movement speed:)" that is why in arcane they are super fast. i love watching this type of video btw. I watched it till end:) new sub :)
This video was sure a surprising, but pleasant one! I would highly recommend watching the music video cinematic "Awaken" if you haven't already! Excited to see more Arcane reaction videos from you guys when S2 comes out 😊
49:33 "Is that his friend?" .....Um.....what? Do you greet your friends with a dropping sword slash? Los Knowing the context of enemies and allies really helps one enjoy these cinematics.
Thanks for all the support guys!

there is a theory about singed and orianna. so in the original story the father of orianna was a toy maker. it got rewritten to prosthetics engineer. both things are hinted in the show. singed admires the toy boat that viktor created and singed probably designed the augmented arm of sevika. and furthermore and thats where it gets a bit creepy, orianna is sometimes just called ori, and that is an anagram for rio. and rio is the "a rare mutation" singed "cultivated" that "must survive". so maybe his daughter orianna got sick and he had to preserve her body, maybe even turned her into rio and hopes to get her back in the future.
react to the cinematic "warwick the wrath of zaun"
You guys should watch "Twist of fate", Climb, A new Dawn.
the ANNIE is really really great. a "must check it out" kinda cinematic
You should react to all KDA songs its from League of Legends too
I love how Arcane fans are immediately starved for more that they just go ahead and binge watch League of Legends animation videos 😭😂
why do I see you everywhere
@ughgowonsscalpandcrunchyvo4926 I'm one of those fans
There's a quote Warwick says when he meets Jinx in game: "You were there... let me forget"
Riot knows what is doing.
One little detail: The last few remakes they did on characters all have Arcane into consideration (Interactions of Swain, Fiddlesticks and Warwick). So there's hope that Swain appears on season 2, taking into consideration that Noxus is now in play.
Yeah but arcane is not in the same canon universe as the the league of legends game lore. It's two separate universes. If you actually read the actual lore of Leauge of Legends you would see it's not the same as arcane. Their are major differences between the two. For example in the lore jace and Caitlyn never actually knew each other like they do in Arcane. Read Jace's lore and Victor's lore and as well as Ekko's lore from the game and you will see some huge differences from the arcane series.
@@starknight2262 Meh, arcane is 110% canon. It's just have has it's own vison, and all league cinematic have own perspective on story if you don't see. League lore is very fluid and changes very often and that's it, don't confuse people.
@@starknight2262 Arcane is and will be the canon source for now on, everything in the previous lore will be or is in the process of being retconned for the Arcane cinematic universe.
@@tr9o9r9r AFAIK Arcane is kinda like what the MCU is to Marvel Comics. It's heavily tied to it, but it's it's own thing in regards to canon.
there's so many more cinematics you guys should see, can't wait for the next ones :D
The Curse of the Sad Mummy is my favorite cinematic, go check it out! The director of that music video became the director of the Arcane story!
Yoooo!!! i was waiting for this when you guys mentioned going deeper into league cinematics. Its great that its 1hr long too lmao!!
36:10 -> At the moment we don't know yet what's canon and what's not, the development of the universe is still new. For now I think they stated that Arcane is its own thing but I'm sure down the line they will retcon the other sources to fit Arcane's story and make Arcane canon.
There are a good number of things in Arcane that are different from the website lore written stories and biographies. For example Jayce's and Viktor's storylines are changed a lot for Arcane, their personalities as well. That's because a lot of the stuff in the lore is hard to use to fit in a story like Arcane where multiple character storylines need to fuse with one another. In the website they are more independant stories.
Yeah for now we just gotta assume that Arcane is it's own thing and that it will take some parts of previously established lore, but not everything.
I think it is different but also it is not, since they changed a few lore things in LoL too that seem to fit the Narrative of Arcane. I guess you could see it is "in a slight alternate reality" thing
Why do people keep up voting this, each thing clearly had their own lore, lol, the card game, and arcane all have different lores so each can be considered a different cannon
When Silco tells Vander in Episode 3, "I'll show you what you really are-" there's a snippet in the music from Warwicks theme.
Some of Vander's grunts and growls when he's taken the shimmer are almost exactly Warwick's snarls in the game, and a major point of Warwick's history is that the transformation that lead to him becoming Warwick didn't fully take until he died. Given that they've released a teaser announcing that a Season 2 in production and it ends with the musical sting loop that represents Warwick's Blood Hunt ability from the game, it's certain that he's going to be a factor of the next season.
There was a lot of implications and supposition from the lore elements in the game that all the characters from Piltover and Zaun had some kind of large web of connections between them, in between cinematics, story pieces, bits and pieces of lore and character interactions, but it wasn't ever really spelled out objectively until now. Arcane is basically one massive confirmation sequence of all the lore people had been assuming for a few years now.
Also, that one video with the 'easter egg' about cupcakes and Caitlyn being called cupcake and being 'similar' to the Bittersweet Lulu skin cupcakes, I'd have basically instantly dismissed that entire video on the grounds the dude making it is an idiot. Caitlyn in game has an ability, Yordle Snap Trap, that places a bear trap with those exact same kind of cupcakes on the pressure plate. This is where the 'cupcake' appellation comes from but this brainlet clickfarmer video just wants pretend internet points as fast as possible, so he does a surface level scrape 'secrets' video that gets a lot of details wrong. 'The Lanes' could be a cheeky reference to the lanes of the map, sure, but the Black Lanes is an area of Zaun that fits where they would have been. The krug in the cage is mentioned as being from Legends of Runeterra but they use a screencap of the jungle camp of krugs from the MOBA, which tells me that not only does he not know what he's talking about, but he's also shit at researching the subject. Orianna also isn't Singed's daughter, she was the daughter of an inventor that replaced parts of her body with clockwork prosthetics as parts of her body failed from an illness she contracted trying to help people in Zaun deal with toxic gases. Singed had nothing to do with it, so whatever conclusion this guy jump to is flat out wrong.
Love the reactions, it's always cool to see people enjoy the amazing world of Runeterra! Alright! So, to make the wait a bit shorter, there's plenty of other Runeterra related videos you can watch.
- Awaken, another amazing music video with some of the regions.
- Kin of the Stained Blade, you like the guy with goku hair? You'll love this vid!
- Warwick: The Wrath of Zaun, a short video teaser about Warwick. Since you guys now know it's most likely Vander there's nothing spoiled
- Fiddlesticks: Terror in Demacia, If you thought the shadow Isles guy (Thresh) was the stuff of nightmares.. Watch this and find out who really is.
- Ekko: Seconds, The teaser video for Ekko's release in the game, this shows a bit more about what Ekko can do, so if you don't want to see that yet, skip this one!
- Call of Power | Ryze Cinematic, a video about Ryze, the runemage (who was definitely not in arcane by the way, the timeline wouldn't add up if that was Ryze in his previuos human form)
- New Expansion: Empires of the Ascended, A video about the Shurima region in Runeterra, featuring my favourite champion Renekton.
- New Expansion & Region: Call of the Mountain, A video about Mount Targon.
These are some, there are more.. if you end up watching these I'll make another list, Enjoy!
Vander was referred to in episode 1 as "The Hound of the Underground." As well as being called a "lapdog." Plus a bunch of other teases early on. Some very good teases.
the moment I heard "Hound" I already felt it coming. I knew the differences in lore (although small) but they most certainly will adapt it
lol in my case. I didn't pay attention to the small details when I started Arcane since I know some of the Characters. My misfire in the details was I thought Vander will be Dr. Mundo in the future stories, I don't know why I think of that I just did after he inject himself with shimmer in the end then my second misfire was I thought Silco = Swain, again idk why I think that I just randomly did without thinking it through. lol
@@SuperStrongAlien the Silco Swain sure was a trip lol
On the music video in 49:30 the warrior one. It is said that the one that vi and caitlyn fighting is benzo. Vander's homie
i was just like you, i went into arcane blind (i only really knew jinx and i loved her even before the show) but i got into the lore because of the show. im glad you guys are learning more about the world too! so fun to see :D
53:55 no it's Camille, but she's also a Piltover champion so it is possible that we will see her in season 2
Also sad fact these two ladies, Leona (Sun lady with a shield) and Diana ( Moon lady) when they were younger were lovers, but unfortunately Diana became an aspect of the moon and Leona became an aspect of the sun and because their people do not like each other very much they became a part of their conflict and now they are fighting each other (although they still love each other judging by this "look" they had at the end) so in fact these two lovers who died really reflect the love of Diana and Leon from their youth, but the difference is that Leona and Diana were afraid to tell the truth about their relationship because Solari and Lunari didn't like each other (although we didn't really know it when this trailer was released because their romantic relationship was not officially confirmed by Riot at the time but fans have suspected for many years that there was something between them, just like with Caitlyn and Vi, fans have always suspected they were a couple, but only Arcane really confirmed that) and if you want to know more about Diana and Leona, read the story "Rise with me"(that was realesed six months ago and this oficially confirmed that Leona and Diana were a couple) , this story tells about the youth of Leona and Diana, how they met and of course how they start to love each other and how their romance began, you can read the story on the official website of the league of legends, it's really good story
I loved that video with Leona and Diana 🥰🥰 I'm so glad you told us the back story! It makes that video so much sadder 💔😥
Camille, Ezreal, Ziggs, urgot, Warwick
Maybe not because Camille's ancestors in main canon invented Hextech, but in the show it is Jayce and Viktor. She would have to be an old woman to be Camille, but she only lived so long because she enhanced her body with Hextech, which is relatively new in current day Arcane.
@@MrMeddyman Camille's ancestors didn't invent Hextech? Jayce always was the one who did, the timelines a bit different because the crystals were still used to power stuff before Hextech.
I think Hextech refers to a particular application for the crystals to replicate magic
As I read it, they were just good friends, besties. As it's with Vi and Caithlyn - there was no real mention of them being a couple. hey just get along really well. no need to make people LGBT without need, okay?
Some explanations,
Targon :
Mount Targon is the highest mountain of Runeterra , Solari and Lunari are mortals enemies who worship Celestial beings knows as Aspects. Leona (Shield and Sword) is the Aspect host of the Sun ( Solari) and Diana (Crescent Sword) is the Aspect host of the Moon (Lunari) they are former lovers.
Blidgewater is the pirates part of Runeterra
Ionia is an other region with an Asian theme.
Warriors 2020 Cinematic :
-Demacia is an anti-mage society and Sylas ( guy with the chains) attack them because He was discriminated due to his powers. The big statue coming from the sky is Galio a statue of Demacia who activate in presence of magic that's why Lux shoot up to the sky so that Galio came to help her and her brother Garen.
-The girl who shoot some projectiles in the cave is Kai'sa a girl who got infected by a creature from the Void , to make it simple the Void is another dimension with some horrible creatures who try go get through. The guy with her is Ezreal with an magic gauntlet . Little detail the thing Ezreal stole in this cave is a Tear of Goddess an actual item from the game always build on Ezreal.
If you love the samurai guy, you've got to watch/react to Kin of the Stained Blade. Gorgeous Cannon Cinematic about his past & Present.
Awaken
14:02 same reaction, but the reverse when Viktor revealed his name in episode 2. You see, League players have never seen human Viktor or his face before, ever.
I'd like to point out that not everything that we know is true in league is technically going to be the same on the show. A lot of these characters are being rewritten constantly by riot, and also their designs. Example: Cait, vi and Ekko look very different from the game, and their lore is also kinda different on the game. Singed is more cruel, Jayce is more of an awful person, etc etc.
For 17:00, when Silco brings wounded Jinx to Singed, he tells him "I had a daughter once, too.", implying Orianna is already dead.
and that means something in a fantasy world ? 😉
The guy with the big shield named Braum in League of legends at 44:20 is also the voice actor for Vander
You guys should react to the ANNIE cinematic. A really great story with interesting animation
And amumu song
Yeah. Annie Origin.
Yes. It's still my favorite one from League cinematics
Amumu is amazing as well.
When Warwick gets near vi in the game he asks her “who taught you how to punch?”
pinche spoiler que se aventaron XD pero valio la pena porque esta documentado en video.
los amo chicos son geniales.
Being a big watcher of anime the pace at which Arcane episodes were released and the schedule for a new season maybe only being a year away is fucking light speed. Gotta love it
9:10 Also, two more things I noticed regarding the „Vander turns into Warwick“ Theory:
- in the very first Coversation we see Vander having in the bar, when he defends that hunched merchant guy, the two cutthroats say to him: „So you’re Vander. *Hound of the Underground* . I expected something… younger“. Struck me like „oh damn that’s an obvious nod“ on my first rewatch
- second: when Vander drinks the shimmer in episode three and then kills Deckard, the sounds he makes in his shimmer form are VERY VERY reminiscent of Warwick’s various ingame Sounds, especially to those you hear when Warwick chases enemies with his „Blood Hunt“ ability or jumps on them with „Jaws of the Beast“
I always get chills watching the Warriors cinematic.
fun fact: a writer on arcane said in a tweet that if they would ever do another region/story, she would love to write for the freljord. And it all works out cause braum, the guy with the shield, hes voiced by jb blanc, the same guy that voices vander.
17:32 dunno if you guys will see this, but...
Orianna got very bad when she breathed a quimic toxic on the air in zaun, her lungs starting failling and her father made a surgery by himself on his daughter. The lungs now was robot lungs and after some time, Orianna was sick again. Slowly both made a prostheses of every single organ so she could live it. She slowly loses her memory before the transformation and her father also get sick, but then she talked with quimic Baron (someone like Silco) and he gave it her a hextech gem. She made her final decision and the most sad choice: Orianna builds a prosthese of a heart that would hold the hextech gem and replace her own heart. Then she change her father with a sick heart...with the last thing he had from his daughter: her heart was inside him and he got better.
After a time, he sold every doll on his store (He was one of best on this thing, If I not wrong *Hope not and if i do be wrong, i'm sowwy*..he sold many kinds of dolls...except for tehe "white and golden doll" (Orianna).
14:05 You have just been witness to the GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!
Really happy to see you again on league videos, especially now that you bring Arcane back and its hidden details and took a taste on cinematics. Another good quality cinematic like Warriors is Awaken if you ever want to watch it and also Kin of The Stained Blade, my favorite at the moment because it has history and feels almost like a movie. Keep up the good work guys, cheers!
50:41 Since i saw you were a little confused on this part of the video well basically the guy with the chains is named Sylas, in game he can steal other characters abilities when he catches you using his chains 50:14. The sword itself is not an ability but when you playing with Garen (the buffed sword man) you can use your ultimate to summon a big as magic sword on your enemy and instantly execute him when having low life.
50:57 Pretty much what was going to happen if his sister Lux hadn't revealed her powers to call Galio 51:23.
Whoever managed videos order for them did great job. I really enjoyed their reaction.
was fun to see you react on the videos ^-^
Probably too late to comment, but that last video you guys watched is crazy to me. It came out 8-9 years ago, I watched it, it was just a cool video. That last giant monkey she fought was the same monkey that killed her family, the screws on top of the head show it was the one she broke, fixed, and then used. Her dream was interrupted by the PSTD that is her monkey bomb, adding size to really hit home that is her largest obstacle to overcome, not in reality, but in her head. 55:43 is the time stamp for where the monkey is.
Love that you guys went so in depth, here!! There were so many details that kept popping up and explained so many game interactions.
My favorite is when Swain, a demon possessed tyrant of Noxus, reads Jinx's darkest secret and says "Faces in the flames... It was all her fault..." And only now do we know why.
Edit: Madison has it right, Leona and Diana (sun and moon priestesses) were once in love but now opposed and everyone is hoping they get back together.
So, Ekko's board in Arcane was, as far as we know, the first true hoverboard, but it was designed specifically to work in the fissures of Zaun, where the air is denser. Ekko's design here was likely just a test to see what the power source was capable of on a short amount of time. The time in between Heimerdinger's re-acquiring of the power core and the unveiling of the hoverboard was clearly a longer period of time than between Ekko's acquisition of the core and his creation of the wheeled board prototype (as shown by night going to day in the final scenes), which meant Heimerdinger had more time to work on it. On top of that, Ekko's initial hoverboard design worked well in the fissures, but probably wasn't super efficient for flight above ground (remember Heimerdinger's comment about the blades being "improperly pitched").
The original boards did work well enough for them to launch that attack on the air ship in episode 4, but who knows how they had to rig their boards, or if they were relying on vastly more limited flight time than they were used to?(This may just be me, but the boards in the airship attack scene seem to move a little slower than they do in the Vi and Jinx tower reunion) This power core is clearly more powerful (for it's size) than anything Heimerdinger has worked with before at this point, meaning it enables more advanced technologies, such as viable sustained hoverboard flight in the clearer air above Piltover. Ekko's wheeled board merely gave Heimerdinger the idea for the core's application. Also note, Heimerdinger's hoverboard has booster ports at the bottom from which a blue fire/magical energy escapes during flight. Ekko's original, old board was basically a really powerful giant fan that he could ride on.
Wooah I've been waiting for your reaction to these, I love you Guys
I love that you guys got to see Viktor's League outfit. In episode 2 when Viktor dropped his name, my jaw actually dropped and I screamed because he looked nothing like what he did in game and I thought he was just an important non-game character that was going to be prevelant in the show.
Me too. I always view Viktor as an Old dude/Old Character like Silco but in Arcane he looks young or a little bit older to Jayce.
If you guys want to see more of jinx, you can watch enemy which is the official music video for the series and Welcome aboard.
The Enemy music video was originally in this video. We recorded it and everything. But youtube blocked the video 3 times because of it (it was supposed to be posted yesterday) and we couldn't wait any longer because we have other videos planned so it got cut out. But people seem to really be enjoying these videos so maybe we'll do another one with more cinematics and include the Enemy reaction that we already recorded.
@@MACReact don't be pressured! I was just suggesting. Post when you can and most importantly, when you want.
@@MACReact You can react on nearly everything about League of Legends. The song enemy gets blocked because the Imagine Dragons own the song.
The rest like 'Awaken' or the Annie-Cinematic are free to watch
fun fact at 44:00 Braum (the guy with the shield) and Vander in Arcane has the same voice actor.
Hey guys, I'm glad you checked League of Legends cinematics to learn more about the world of Runeterra. I really enjoyed your reactions to Arcane.
there are so many more that you guys need to watch plz plz keep going with the League of legends and Legends of Runeterra content!!!
I find it funny how in the Zaun/Piltover one everyone immediately is like "Heimerdinger stole Ekko's design". Completely forgetting, that Ekko could only design this with the powercell that Heimerdinger invented, a stolen idea made from a stolen idea? They're at least even. And Heimer didn't even steal it, he was inspired by it and made something else entirely.
Apparently pop culture makes us assume injustice at the very first, even so that's not at all the message of the trailer.
I thought the same thing about Ekko using the power cell ^^
I agree with everyone here of going down the league rabbit hole once in a while. So much interesting stuff you can cover but is good to keep also doing what your doing! Love the reactions!
First channel that actually wants to learn the Lore of Arcane. +1
ok, so Arcane is its own thing loosely connected to league lore, like how the MCU features characters from the Marvel comics, but doesnt follow the same lore. Arcane is the MCU to League's comics, so the cinematics and stuff are more based on league OG lore because they were made to promote the game, not the TV show. Some things from the Progress day cinematic especially show this. Heimer loves hextech in the cinematic vs heimer hates hextech in Arcane. Ekko has a hoverboard in arcane, but not in the main canon. Jinx is harley quinn in OG, but is just the trauma queen in arcane.
At the end of the Get Jinx'd video, she does a little finger gun and shoots the monkey. They pay homage to that with Powder doing a finger gun and shootingan enforcer in the Enemies video for Arcane. Note, Get Jinx'd came out in 2012. So Arcane, and the title track Enemies, both referenced a decade old music video multiple times
yaaayyy I'm so happy to see you guys watching lol cinematics. there are more ya know ;)
I absolutely loved this video you guys made. I've been playing league since 2016 so to get all my thoughts out, I'd have to write an essay, which'll Ill spare you. I'll just include some important tidbits: I wish the Viktor 'final form' wasn't 'spoiled' for you guys lol. Now you're kind of expecting it to go in that direction. It's really funny that you guys said "that's Viktor!?" because every single league player, when we first saw Viktor in the show, as a regular human, we were like, "omg THAT'S what Viktor used to look like!?"
What do Twisted Fate's cards do? Blue one replenishes his Mana when it hits an enemy, Red one does area damage when hitting an enemy (in the video there was an explosion), and the Yellow one stuns the enemy you hit
Noxus is one of the coolest areas. It's a hyper aggressive, violent expansionist empire. It's home to some of the absolute coolest champs in League, including, as youve seen, Darius (axe guy, he is exceptionally strong). I wont spoil it, but his brother's super cool too. They have no prejudice at all, if you're strong you advance, if you're weak, you're gone. Oh and the girl from the Noxus short isn't a playable character, I think she's just there to showcase what Noxus is about
So this is becoming an essay.... Garen was fighting Sylas (the guy with the chains). The blonde girl is his sister Lux. They're from Demacia, where magic is outlawed, so Lux was basically 'revealing' her power. Sylas was imprisoned for doing magic, which is why he's still got the chains around his arms. The colossal statue at the end is Galio. Vi and Cait were fighting Urgot. The blonde dude's Ezreal (really cool character) and the girl who saved him is Kai'sa. The thing Ezreal stole is called 'Tear of the Goddess'. And those little monsters are voidlings. Blue sword guy is Yasuo (probably the strongest character), Yellow robot guy is Blitzcrank, rock guy is Malphite, foxtail girl is Ahri (a fan favourite, a lot of cosplays) shield mustache guy is Braum, knife leg woman is Camille, and the really cool masked armoured ninja guy is Zed, really cool plays.
Okay Im done! Final bit of info. A few years ago they had a major lore update. They hired Graham McNeil, an author who writes a lot of Warhammer 40K (which, no surprise, Im also really into) novels and he brought a lot of that 'grimdark' atmosphere to the League lore. I credit him a lot with the huge boost in the lore quality. I recommend you guys watch the following link, it's a trailer (with Ahri mostly). It's from a while ago, but still cool. Maybe youve already seen it? But still cool!
ua-cam.com/video/vzHrjOMfHPY/v-deo.html
One more hint at Vander being Warwick that I don't see mentioned (sorry if it is). I've seen people pause at the right time on the finale when Jinx is getting confused with Vi reminding her of everyone. She starts seeing the little scratchies around the characters. When she mentions Vander, he has an outline like that of Warwick.
I cant wait until you guys see "BREATHE" (“BREATHE” | Official Launch Video - Legends of Runeterra
). That art is so beautiful.
Arcane is like an alternate universe, it is mostly the same lore but there are some slight retcons
My god i LOVE you guys for a 1 hour video
14:15 Don't be scared my child, this is the path of the GLORIOUS EVOLUTION !
Yass, been waiting for this! I really loveeee these cinematic as well. Please react to others league vid/cinematic especially awaken cinematic and lol 2021 worlds opening ceremony (it had arcane theme you'd love to see!)
warwick in the game has quotes to vi and jinx, to jinx he says "You were there, let me forget" and to vi he mocks her saying "Who taught you how to punch?!"
The arm on viktors back which shoots the yellow lazer is in the show when he demonstrates that and the gloves in front of heimerdinger.
Get jinxed video is in the future actually where jinx is 21 yrs.
And you should also watch the Welcome Aboard cinematic.
The regional videos (Piltover/Zaun, Ionia, Bilgewater, etc) are for the Legends of Runeterra card game. They don't follow the Arcane continuity. They just showcase the regions that appear in the game. A deck can have up to 2 regions (some exceptions apply) and the cards from that region specialize in different things.
13:59 do not worry too much, he will likely get a redesign, his current lore might be retconned to adapt to Arcane rather than the other way around.
voice line from the game: ekko to jinx - "i used to have a crush before you started talking to the gun" 😢
it would be really nice if you guys could check out more of LoL cinematics, they're not only just like about the lore of the game and its characters, there's quite a variety to them, like, Riot Games made like music group/band with their characters like KDA, Pentakill (which i think was mention in one of the vid you guys watched) and True Damage (which Ekko is in it n Yasuo, the samurai guy with like the Goku-like hair). Basically there are quite a lot of amazing cinematics that they've done and so instead of you guys freezing yourself till Arcane S2 comes out n leaving us with no contents XD it'd be nice to see you guys react to more of those
Kin of the Stained Blade and Annie origins, you need to watch those guys, amazing vids.
I had a lot of fun watching with you! Pls do more on league cinematics!!!
There are some insane details that forshadow the season. Such as vi grabing powerder the same way vander grabed silco on the bridge.
Elo sitting on the chair in a similar way on 7 jinx does on 9.
The rocket launcher with eye scar similar to silco and refer to silco love for shark the 1st ep.
Vander isn't quite a werewolf, Singed pumped all sorts of genes and chemicals into him. He's a sort of chimera that just looks primarily like a wolf, with limited human memories.
Oh if yall curious who the giant was at the end his names Galio and the mist knight dude is called Zed now lastly the blade robo chick is Camille
Regarding Warwick (Vander after he becomes a werewolf): in the Arcane season 2 announcement video you can hear his theme at the end of the video, so he will most likely be quite an important character in season 2... but damn I can't imagine how the interactions between him and Jinx, Vi and Ekko as well as what his relationship with Singed (his creator) will be... + Viktor's glorious evolution is gonna be dope af. Those two factors alone will make season 2 really hype.
36:33 to answer your question about who the kid on the board is, it seems to be just a random student at the academy but hes totally the character from the artwork on the Legends Of Runeterra card named Amateur Aeronaut
so youre right hes not a playable character, a lot of these videos seem to show little backstories of cards from the game that were just artwork before
10:21 they where added after Warwicks update but before the announcement of Arcane.
Hey, guys. When Warwick meets Vi in game, he says: Who taught you to punch? That's definitely a strong hint towards number 1 Spot
Another fun tidbit about Vander maybe being Warwick, is that in episode one where Vander confronts the people trying to rip off the little professor guy, they say "So you're Vander, the Hound of the Underground" so... that's kinda awesome
love this video, hope you made more of lol cinematics reactions!! love u guys!!
sooooo... the second video you guys watched was kinda weird, a lot of things didnt make sense like:
- The cupcakes kinda look like lulu's cupcakes, but they were there as an easter egg for caitlyn. That was a kiramman's house after all, so they were a hint that cait was somehow involved with that place. Also not only vi calls her cupcake in LOL, she has A LOT of interactions calling her cupcake in Legends of Runeterra (league's card game).
-saying the eggs close to the Krugs were possibly bc of Teemo's skin, but skins have they're own separate universe so it would be weird to merge with the cannon universe. Also krugs are first (and more known) from league and not legends of runeterra...the picture the guy shows is literally in leagues map (i'm being picky, i know).
- to be fair that could be ryze, but only if they retcon a lot, and i mean A LOT of his lore, bc ryze is centuries old, by the time he got blue there was already a rune war, so it would be weird to see him normal after centuries. (But that as i said could be retconed and they could make that mage ryze anyway :/ ).
- "themed pirate shooting range" THERE IS LITERALLY A REGION CALLED BILGEWATER THAT IS ALL THEMED ABOUT PIRATES, that shooting range is themed around there. The guy in the video made NO research at all.......
-again, that shooting range is inspired by Bilgewater, pirates, that statue was a OBVIOUS nod to mermaids. WHY THE FCK would that be cassiopeia? she's not only from noxus, she's also not that famous to the point of being used as a muse for a shooting game..............
Other than that it was ok, but weird. Sorry if i was too picky lol
Viktor after his addiction to the Hextech Runes, augmented his body to bear the burden that flesh is weak but machine is Life!
the most signicant hint to me was when vander is on the bridge and takes the shimmer. as he turns towards silco and screams hes name. the voice is very distorted, almost beast-like.
one could say very close to warwick`s voice.
For the Shadow Isles one.. as soon as the get walked about 10 feet away from the wards, Thresh knew he was there. Thresh always knew when someone set foot on the Shadow Isles, and he loves torture, so he probably freed the father's soul with a task he couldn't refuse... lure the son away from the wards. Thresh then spooked him and he dropped the gold liquid that protected him from the Black Mist of the Isles. That's why, when he almost fell of that ledge and looked at his hands, that was his soul trying to leave his body. Thresh could also teleport anywhere on the Isles so really it wasn't a chase as much as prolonged torture. The best opinions for the kids death are 1) the Black Mist slowly killed him over the course of a few minutes (totally feasible) 2) Thresh sent a hook his way and that's why he fell, then Thresh just punished the mother by watching her son's soul get ripped away.
There's little hints here and there to point out Vander is Warwick:
Episode 1 they call him the "Hound of the underworld"
Episode 3 Silco says "you're just a lapdog. I'll show you what you really are" and also when he kills Deckard you can hear him growling like a dog.
It's a detail that fans took notice.
Now I understand the line of Victor in lol: Join the glorious evolution.
The characters as they are in Arcane are different (sometimes significantly) than they are in the games. Jinx isn't really a murderer and generally just sticks to vandalism, destroying property or otherwise disrupting the day-to-day operations in Piltover.
this is why this show isn't just good, it's legendary
A good sign to look for if you ask yourself when does something takes place is jinx eyes. If she has pink eyes (from the shimmer) it's after she got "transformed" if the eyes are blue it's before.
so close to finishing this show and then i am right back here to catching this once caught up lol
Ah! I was wondering if you'd see Get Jinxed somewhere. There we go!
The beauty of it was... this was our intro to Jinx. Insta crush for the Blue Lady! :D (And now... now... darkness... and love!)
The Monkey bomb is Jinx's champion spell in the card game. The card is called get excited. The activation cost is to discard 1 of your own cards to deal 3 damage to anything. Arcane kept the flavor that the monkey bomb is powerful at the cost of sacrificing something (in the case of arcane Mylo, Claggor, and Vander)
Ekko to jinx: "I had a crush...until you started talking to the gun."

TLDR That Robot is one of Viktor's best Invention, a sentient robot.
They're trying to connect Singed to Orianna's father which would make him 50000 times more interesting as a character because we already know Orianna's father was a man from Zaun named Corin Reveck who just created clockwork gadgetry and lived a humble life with his daughter until one day his daughter became terminally ill breathing toxic fumes while trying to help other Zaunites in a major fume leak. He replaces parts of her piece by piece as the infection spreads until at some point his daughter is gone and Orianna this unfeeling machine is all that's left, Orianna would leave her father one day without a word and is never heard from again. Singed is the most important character in League because of what he will go on to do, shifting the balance of the biggest war in Runeterra by supplying Noxus with chemical weapons that they'll use to attack Ionia and effecting the arcs so many other champions like Yasuo, Riven, Master Yi and creating Warwick. He's low-key one of the most important characters because if he didn't do what he will soon come to do none of these other champions would have the arcs they have without Singed.
Turbo chemtank is actually an image of item in the game where it grants you "movement speed:)" that is why in arcane they are super fast. i love watching this type of video btw. I watched it till end:) new sub :)
This video was sure a surprising, but pleasant one! I would highly recommend watching the music video cinematic "Awaken" if you haven't already! Excited to see more Arcane reaction videos from you guys when S2 comes out 😊
Great you did that!
sees teemo " who would hurt him? "
league community: baseball bats at the ready.
Viktor: GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
I could not be the only league player who missed a bazillion Easter eggs from this show. I have never seen one ever.
Please tell me there is a part 2 of this
Fun fact the guy with the big shield (Braum) his voice actor was the same guy who voiced Vander in Arcane
The voice lines of the characters in the games is so cool
49:33 "Is that his friend?" .....Um.....what? Do you greet your friends with a dropping sword slash? Los
Knowing the context of enemies and allies really helps one enjoy these cinematics.
you couldn't resist a minute to know more XD XD
21:04 "Awww.....who would hurt him?"
League fans: All of us.
Viktor does look pretty glorious
should definitely watch Necrit, he does everything league lore related, he's the lore god
