Claggor underrated. He wasn’t as strong or as supportive of Powder as Vi was, but it should be noted that he held his own fighting off two guys and offered to help Powder instead of ridicule her.
As someone who is over 40, I have watched thousands of movies and series, I have never seen such a story, for this series, I take off my hat, I bow respectfully
8:18 Many reactors have said "Who leaves 2 perfectly good sandwiches out in the open?". Those sandwiches are there to show us a couple of things: 1) The over abundance of food of Piltover, amongst other resources as well. 2) When Powder discovers them and eats one of them we can see the joy in her eyes, indicating to us that they come from a poor part of town where good food can be a rare luxury. Arcane writers are so good with these little hints and worldbuilding and character development. This show is so good! 14:05 Yeah, about that... I still haven't recovered and it has been 4 months...
Arcane is a show that relies on visual story telling, very rarely they will tell you anything directly, most of the time they show you, sometimes the hints can be blatant and other times it can be more subtle.
Fun Fact: Aside from the opening credits song, ("Enemy" by Imagine Dragons), most of the songs were specifically written for the show and if you sync up the lyrics side by side with the scenes they`re first heard in, you can totally tell!
excited to hear your thoughts on arcane,it always nice to hear other writers perspectives and thoughts. Vi is definitely my favorite character for many reasons, her being an elder sister is one of them since I can relate to her on this level and I agree, with all circumstances she's a very good sister
This is mostly feedback on the entire playlist and possibly your channel as a whole. I really like your reaction style. You pay attention to the story from a narrative and character perspective and correct yourself later if you didn't pick up on stuff at first. The editor interjections on something you missed or did are very entertaining. The show itself is in full screen and good quality both visually and audio-wise. You show pivotal moments that allow the viewers to see the setup and payoff alongside your reaction. I think one of the most important aspects of watching a reaction is being able to relive a moment with the person who is reacting to it for the first time. I especially like the fact that you let the show play in its entirety before going into full length discussions. Nothing irks me more than reactors who incessantly pause to speculate on something when it's going to be explained in the very next scene. I also like how you begin your reactions with what you're expecting or hoping to see going forward and at the end you explain the things you liked and did not like about the episode. A lot of reactors have a habit of giving a summary of events without any opinions of their own, which is incredibly redundant since we've already seen what happened. Most of all, I found your reactions to be genuine. I think a pitfall a lot of more established reactors fall into is that they start off by exaggerating their reactions in order to display more emotion on camera and eventually end up gasping at every little moment on screen to ensure there's at least one shocked expression to use as a thumbnail. Overall, good job. I expect your channel to grow at an alarming rate soon enough.
Great first reaction, watched it on your Patreon! The characters, world and music are amazing. It's not unusual to simp on Violet either :) Looking forward to seeing the rest!
In screen writing there is this idea of saving the cat to establish a protagonist, I think they went the opposite route to establish the antagonist here. Legend of Korra had its issues, but I think overall it was worth watching. Sure, it is not a show like Last Airbender or now Arcane here that one can always re-watch, but few shows are that good. The bridge scene was indeed not explained, Arcane really goes for the show, don't tell approach. They avoid exposition for the most part and instead show you thing and leave the viewer with the task to interpret things.
I actually think I mention Save the Cat in one of these videos! I agree, they definitely switched it up to establish Silco as the main baddie. Traumatizing for me, but effective, lmao!
Hey all! Hope you enjoyed the video. Right now, extended cuts of ALL 9 EPISODES are available on my Patreon, if you’d like to go check them out. Otherwise, hopefully I’ll see you next week for episode 2! Don’t forget to let me know your favorite Arcane character, and remember, no spoilers!
As of episode one my favorite character is Powder. I just find her adorable in this episode. Overall my favorite character's are Silco and a frail character introduced in episode two.
@@chaedi8457 She's so freaking cute in episode one, I honestly just want to hug her, lolol. Excellent choices for your overall favorite characters, though!
"Gay as the 4th of July." I mean.. yeah. 100% Some would consider that a spoiler but come on, just looking at her gives that away lol. That said, they don't waste time dropping other hints about it. 14:24 in the vid. You'll definitely see it better directly from Netflix, but the background has a shot of Vi and Powder's bunkbed. Vi has the top of course because older sibling rules, and there's some interesting things up there. Boxing gloves, a picture of someone in a fighting stance.... and a rather large thirst poster of a lady (with a smaller picture of another woman next to it). 👀 Goes to show how much detail the animators and writers pack into a scene.
@@LeightonReacts After you finish Arcane you should check out the reactions of Elijah at "not-so-average-fangirl". I think you'd like her. Feel free to delete this if you don't like other reactors being pimped here.
Just found your reaction and I'll be binging the lot. First tip I would have is tell your editor to stop cutting out you. We're here to watch YOUR reaction, not watch the show. I prefer the view at 13:43 so we get the most view of you from hand gestures to facial expression whilst having a reference point in the show visible. Also, cutting views doesn't really help anything.

Seriously, the storytelling in this show was PHENOMENAL!
Over 50, and ditto!
"Don't look at me in my shame."
Vi delivers some boss queen moments.
She is a very attractive lady 😳

14:05 Yeah, about that... I still haven't recovered and it has been 4 months...
I always admire how writers can weave in tiny details like that, it's amazing! And yeah, I'm not sure I'll ever recover😭
Arcane is a show that relies on visual story telling, very rarely they will tell you anything directly, most of the time they show you, sometimes the hints can be blatant and other times it can be more subtle.
16:26 OMG I've rewatched episode 1 idk how many times and I'm just now noticing Ekko's mask here!
Fun Fact: Aside from the opening credits song, ("Enemy" by Imagine Dragons), most of the songs were specifically written for the show and if you sync up the lyrics side by side with the scenes they`re first heard in, you can totally tell!
"Is that how they're ending it?"
*Smiles* Miss Leighton, I suggest you buckle up, the ride ain't even started. :P
😬
Powder`s 9-11, Mia Sinclair Jenness was 11 or 12 when she voiced her and 15 when the show premiered at Riot Games Esports event.

Vi's an amazing character and sister, for sure!
How have I never seen your videos this is amazing

Watching Arcane really hurts but you will love this show....best thing i ever saw

Mine are Silco and Vi. And yeah, Silco was they guy with the red eye asking to watch the animal abuse xD.
@@kaijingarou6526 Honestly, Silco's a great villain, I can't even blame you!

Nice vid! Gimme more ARCANE!!111
check out the Enemy music video as well.

LOL I never noticed the poster! That's so funny. Yes, they definitely went out of their way to say, "Hey, this one? She gay." 😂
Not a show but if you haven't seen it treasure planet is a great steampunk movie fun reaction always happy to find a new one
"I like them. He's definitely gonna die." :')
One time I really wish I had been wrong 😭
Hehe lets go !!
My favourite character doesn't appear till next episode. She's very distinctive :)
I think I know who you mean 👀
Another vi fans 🥰 hailey Steinfeld
I don't trust anyone who isn't a Vi fan, honestly 😂
@@LeightonReacts 🥰
You should check out Imagine Dragon's music video Enemy after episode it will help your viewing experience.
I'll definitely give it a watch!
If you like Imagine Dragons then check out the trailer for Season 3 of "The boys". Unless you've never seen "The Boys", it's not for everyone.
I've been meaning to watch that show! Definitely looks up my alley.
@@LeightonReacts Basically it's "What if superheoes were a-holes." It's bloody and gory but it's great if you don't mind those things.
I can tell that you are going to love this show. "Gay as the 4th of July" is a bit of an exaggeration... but, yeh, there are some gay moments.
Honestly, any gay at all is good enough for me, lolol
@@LeightonReacts After you finish Arcane you should check out the reactions of Elijah at "not-so-average-fangirl". I think you'd like her. Feel free to delete this if you don't like other reactors being pimped here.
I'll definitely check her out!
@@babette5918 I Second that!! not so average fan girl👍 I am a FAN
I can't even pick a favorite character lol
They're honestly all so good!

When the chapter 2??...😙
Already up, go check it out! 😊
@@LeightonReacts I meant the 3, sorry
That one'll be up this coming Thursday!
@@LeightonReacts too late!!... ja ja...
No. It's Ok. We will wait for it.
I like your eye.
(I felt the same vibration with Haimer-din- dong)
♡
If you want to watch some steam punk check out City of Lost Children
🙂👌👌
@10:58 it's a bit wierd sexually objectifying 14-15 year old girls but if it's animation I guess it's ok..
