@@rrraven369 Nah, religious trauma. I'm half joking, but from what I've heard from a lot of people that hate them is that they sound very similar to neo-christian church music. They also are so popular that inevitably some people just get sick of the genre.
@@rrraven369 strictly speaking, but their sound isn't really for everyone. I got sick of them when Radioactive came out and it was *everywhere*, and many of their songs sounded very samey (in the bad way). I do like their inclusion in Arcane, I think it fits thematically and the sound fits the setting.
That "robot" is actually a being speaking another language and the mask is just translating in real time into English. If you rewatch the scene, you can hear his native language at a lower volume before translation... It gave me goosebumps
@@miclash013 No, she's a kiss-ass, that's why people listen to her. She's really good at currying favor.

I love all your theory's because it highlights just how good the writing is in Arcane. Any other show and a bunch of your theory's would pan out but this show is more unique than that.
I'm sure there are a hundred other comments about it, but Imagine Dragons and the company heading this show, Riot games, have a really deep connection. They've performed multiple times for the huge yearly competition (which is one of if not the most streamed video game finals ever), and collaborated a bunch. They've nearly missed some shows of theirs because they were playing the game this show is based off of, League of Legends. I'm not the biggest fan of Imagine Dragons and alt rock in general, but you have to admit it's always impressive when a band becomes so popular their sound becomes "generic" because it's spawned a whole new music subgenre.
@@MrBreezeLI516 There's not a definitive answer because most modern music is some blend of all different genres. I would describe Imagine Dragons as Pop Rock, though some of their songs are closer to Alternative Rock. They're known for including more instruments and style than the base Alternative, though.
Not impressive. Happens often actually. Genres/bands like that come and go multiple times a generation. Popularity doesn't equal quality. Just ask Limp Bizkit and the "NuMetal" genre, or Skrillex and the "Dubstep" genre. Both of which, nobody cares about anymore. Very popular for a handful of years, until people realize how repetitive and heartless it is. There are many more examples but those 2 paint the picture well enough
The scene from 00:56 - 2:29 is so beautiful I love it. Not many words, the music is great the scenery, the mystery of who this is and what is going on is phenomenal.
I love the opening song, so I honestly can't understand your dislike of it, but feel free to skip it, it stays the same throughout so there's no real use in watching it if you don't like it.
SO happy you are watching this - one of the best bits of media i've seen for a LONG time - the characters and twists in this set the bar for me :) Also - great reactions. Loving all the theories you ladies are coming up with !
I'm so happy you guys are watching Arcane! I think it's very powerful, especially because I play the game and I already knew this characters. I wish you could watch Six Feet Under. :(
Love that y'all are doing this show. I put my son onto it last weekend, and fell asleep the first episode. When i woke up in the morning he finished the entire series, amd was in love with it. I was so happy ☺️
i think i miss something culturally, why does imagine dragons get such rep? i woud never describe their music as religious, is there missing link here, like they can sound pretty pop-y and kinda corny at times, but i cant see any kind of "religiosity" they talk about. be it i mostly know of them because alternative kids liked them alot in my country 10-5 years ago, and i know that they huge collaborators with riotgames in general, but that it i think im missing something here, because they make connection with that type of music i would never do and have no prior associations with
I mean, they do sound a lot like a Church band, obviously they`re not because they`re from Vegas and pro-LGBT rights but their songs definitely do give off that Church band vibe especially with all the lyrics about demons, beliefs, don`t do drugs and apocalypses.
There is a whole lore with each of these characters as they are champions in the online RPG game you can play as. Vi, Caitlyn, Jinx (Powder), Ekko, Vander(WW), Viktor, Singed, Jayce, and Heimagider are all League of Legends champion characters. The Arcane animated series is a backstory to who each character will become in their final form, matching their game counterpart you see in LoL next season. I haven't played League myself, but was told by a few coworkers who have. And one my coworkers loves to play League as Viktor.
If you don't like Imagine Dragons maybe you'll have some issues with episode 5 😁 Jokes apart, the band is quite involved with League of Legends (the game this show is born from) and provided songs for the game itself so it was probably the most obvious choice.
If you hate imagine dragons, you can mute it and throw on Greenday's version of "I fought the law and the law won". It's the exact same tempo, and it lines up weirdly well. (Adele's Skyfall would probably work even better if you started it a verse before the chorus, but that thing is looong and doesn't get going until way after the one minute mark.)
LMAO! theyre so harsh on the Imagine Dragons... btw did you know the reason they did the song for the show and for a bunch of other League world championship events is because the members of the band played the game long before they collaborated? one of the guys loved the game and got the rest of the band into it so they have worked together with Riot a lot since they got famous.
One of the best signs of how devilishly well this series is written is the fact that so many people who don't know the characters can come up with interesting but wrong theories about them. And even those of us who played League years ago are not quite sure about the fate or past of some of the characters. In the next chapter the chaos begins.
@@MrEnvisionerbecause that wasn't criticism. I don't know what that was in this video and I don't understand why they had such a strong reaction. I don't know why Maple brought up cults in reaction to hearing that song. Down voting for criticism is wrong. Down voting for whatever this was is understandable.
@@MrEnvisionerThat wasn't criticism and you know that. Her saying that "Everybody is Your Enemy" is satanic cult music is wild and outta pocket. There was no reason at all to assume that especially when it ties to the inner turmoil of the show; Zaun, Powder, and especially -Jinx-
@@KingMagsarion It`s just "Enemy" and she never said that. She said it reminded her of the music at the kinds of churches she grew up in which traumatized her and that is entirely valid!I ain`t saying I agree with her take but don`t misrepresent it to sound worse than what she said!
I like that this show likes to subvert expectations ^_^ one of my favorites. I'll refrain from saying who is my favorite character and whatnot since sometimes that in itself is a spoiler
I’m seeing a lot of arguments in the comments about imagine dragons, and i can’t tell over text what’s sarcastic/jokey criticism Vs real criticism. Just thinking the music sounds bad is fine, that’s just subjective. Not liking music *because* it’s popular is kinda annoying, but hearing a song many times can put people off. I’m most interested in the people saying ID is a religious group or the song is religious music? I don’t know much about them, but didn’t realise that. Is it true?
pretty sure they are talking about their overall sound, not the lyrical content. They have the sound of easy to sing along stadium pop rock that sounds like what some religious rock bands copy and replace with vaguely or not so vaguely religious themes.
Imagine dragons is mainly Mormon so idk why that would play into it that much, they've actually been super chill and accepting of other religions and lgbtq+ despite making terrible music.
I've watched about 30 reactors react to Arcane and 99% of them mix up Silco and Viktor at least once and I don't understand how lol. Good reaction, will definitely check out the rest of the content!
Honestly, it's probably because in general whenever a character deviates from the "traditional" body type, like commonly if a female character is stockier, that usually signifies some type of intercharacter relationship, which is the most heavy handed and popular way to show a connection between two people. Arcane doesn't follow that "tried and true" method and so can throw viewers for a loop.
It's a measure of how traumatized this world is by that mage war that even Heimerdinger-who is from a race that is inherently magical-is afraid of magic.
The level of dislike for imagine dragons is pretty bizarre. I get it if it’s not your thing. I’m not really a big fan either, but this intro songs is sick, and it seems like the hating has nothing to do with the song itself and is purely about the group
@@Diegesis Nickelback is also overly hated for some reason. I don’t like most of Imagine dragons stuff, but just like basically every music group, some of their stuff is enjoyable and some isn’t. The issue I have here is the fact that the disdain for the intro clearly does not come from a specific dislike for the song itself (which again is really cool) and more of a generic dislike for the group as a whole
This was the episode that REALLY got me rooting for Vi. She was willing to put herself on the line to save her sister and made the call to turn herself in. Now, it may not have been the right decision, but it was still ballsy, and I respect that.
Just putting this out there, if you use the characters names you may actually start to remember them so when you do your review people watching can actually figure out who and who your talking about.
I hope you give the intro another shot. It was specifically written for the show so it's not a normal Imagine dragons song imo and does tie into the show and themes
I really don’t care for Imagine Dragons and I usually skip the intro because of it; however and funnily enough because of me skipping the ID stuff I didn’t find out the show was based off of League of Legends until like episode 6.
What's with the hate for Imagine Dragons? Is that a thing now? Are they the new Nickelback? I guess I get it if they are actually a Christian band, but I don't think they are...
@@alisonfields4688 Arianna was speculating that Viktor and Silco were related (because they're both pale skinny guys with gaunt faces I guess), which would be strange since Viktor has a somewhat Czech accent while Silco is more Virginia with a hint of Transatlantic.
That's what happens when you get a cliché band to play an even more cliché song, imagine dragons are not a good band also imo the most obvious industry plant. Arcane better not bring them back for the 2nd season
@@Water_Person_IRL Right, cliche band that's one of the best selling rock bands of all time...at least they actually write, perform and sing all of their content without garbage auto-tune. They have actual musical talent unlock so many "artists" today.
I fully understand not liking Imagine Dragons, I don't much like their music anymore either, but the intro to this is decidedly NOT a megachurch jam. The full song is actually much more explicitly an anti queer conversion therapy song? It does feel a bit out of place but ID actually do a lot of LGBTQ+ advocacy and fundraising despite their mormon roots
Finally someone notices that you are supposed to sign every page in a well maintained lab-journal. Usually with date, so that you cannot change it later. In fact, a second scientist should sign your finished notes after checking them, so that no mistakes are made. Victor is being snooty about proper lab procedure. Then again, he is likely a pretty sloppy journaler, more of a seat of his pants, fix it later kind of scientist.
I dont blame u for being lost during that snowstorm scene as even League of Legends players cant agree on who it was that saved them. There is 1 guy referenced most named Ryze but there are clear things pointing to the fact that it cant be him that we trully have no ide who it actually is and Riot havent said who it is either. Just know that there are alot of very advanced magic in this world that is both very usefull and very VERY destructive.
I think having Imagine Dragons do the intro (and later have the band featured) was the only decision I disagree with. Every other aspect of this show is fantastic: writing, animation, voice acting. They get a pass from me!
Do you know the relationship Riot has with Imagine Dragons? Having the band who has become famous for and already done live concerts performing music they made for the game trailers seemed like both literally and poetically the appropriate band to do the music for the intro.
I´m fine with the intro. It´s a perfect way to feature them in every episode, yet you can skip it and don´t loose anything important: I personally like Imagine Dragons, but ep. 1 intro was enough for me, skipped it in every other episode :D And as for their featuring in ep. 5, transition in the middle of their song to Marcus and then Jayce was fine, but that sudden transition back from Viktor was like fist in my face, hate it so much. :D
@@Papadoc1981 I don't listen to that band, don't know any of their other songs. I'm only saying that the song is cringy as shit, if someone told me that it was from another band you would get the same response.
@@daurydavis3983 Since forever. Same with Nickelback and Limp Bizkit. In the beginning people couldn't get enough. Then their popularity grows and a few songs get overplayed and then suddenly people act like their the worse things that have happened to music. Can't mention their name without someone giving the same reaction Maple had.
@@andrastarsoly7320 Which is weird, I mean, you don't have to like everything of course. But you'd think reaction channels would be able to discern quality. It feels like they're just watching, and not noticing everything that's groundbreaking about the show. Surprisingly few comments about the visuals, for example.
@@andrastarsoly7320 ep 1-2 are the intro. Ep 3 is when people decide if they like the show or not. It's usually the ALL IN episode for most people but the show is not for everyone. We'll see if they like it or not.
@@zissoulanderYup, ep3 is the all-in, I agree. I just felt that they have been pretty passive up until now, getting hung up on hating Imagine Dragons, etc. Maybe the background is missing from playing League as all the characters, world and story can be a lot to make sense of during the first 3 eps without any prelim knowledge. But yeah, we'll see after the next ep :)
i love how everyone is super suspicious of viktor off the bat. Like dude has a slavik accent and everyone assumed hes evil😭
4:49 Heimerdinger name of two scientists = Oppenhimer(Atomic bomb) + Schrödinger (quantum theory)
Probably also Burkhard Heim who was a theoretical physicist who created Heim Theory
22:27 Yeah you are right about initial research but it was "every page" lol. Most just do the headline/front page.

That's what happens when you get a cliché band to play an even more cliché song, imagine dragons are not a good band also imo the most obvious industry plant. Arcane better not bring them back for the 2nd season

@@Water_Person_IRL Right, cliche band that's one of the best selling rock bands of all time...at least they actually write, perform and sing all of their content without garbage auto-tune. They have actual musical talent unlock so many "artists" today.
@gamesswell2024
Nah, they're just making fun of a shitty song, and perhaps you.
It is so funny watching reactions to episode 2 knowing what happens in episode 3. Gut punch time!
I fully understand not liking Imagine Dragons, I don't much like their music anymore either, but the intro to this is decidedly NOT a megachurch jam. The full song is actually much more explicitly an anti queer conversion therapy song? It does feel a bit out of place but ID actually do a lot of LGBTQ+ advocacy and fundraising despite their mormon roots
Or maybe Jehovahs, either one
pretty sure they are talking about their overall sound, not the lyrical content
Can't wait for the next one. The whole show pivots around what happens in episode 3.... D:
Finally someone notices that you are supposed to sign every page in a well maintained lab-journal. Usually with date, so that you cannot change it later. In fact, a second scientist should sign your finished notes after checking them, so that no mistakes are made. Victor is being snooty about proper lab procedure. Then again, he is likely a pretty sloppy journaler, more of a seat of his pants, fix it later kind of scientist.
Wait. Furry tendencies?
Can't wait for Ep. 3 !! Great Show!
I dont blame u for being lost during that snowstorm scene as even League of Legends players cant agree on who it was that saved them. There is 1 guy referenced most named Ryze but there are clear things pointing to the fact that it cant be him that we trully have no ide who it actually is and Riot havent said who it is either. Just know that there are alot of very advanced magic in this world that is both very usefull and very VERY destructive.
you guys should absulutly what tresur planet would be an amazing vid
Let’s go!
😊✌
4:16 Heimerdinger! 😁😺
I hope you'll watch the Vinland Saga
I didn't hate the intro song but it does wear out it's welcome a little bit. Surprised you guys talk about the visuals in it.
Way to hate on some of your fan base Maple
😂
Oh cry about it.
Are we enemies?
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE MY ENEMY
10:20 that’s so damned true, I knew I’ve seen this kind of aesthetics somewhere before
get your kleenex for the next one (L)
I think having Imagine Dragons do the intro (and later have the band featured) was the only decision I disagree with. Every other aspect of this show is fantastic: writing, animation, voice acting. They get a pass from me!
Do you know the relationship Riot has with Imagine Dragons? Having the band who has become famous for and already done live concerts performing music they made for the game trailers seemed like both literally and poetically the appropriate band to do the music for the intro.
@@ColinPoole I do understand the relationship and the marketing value of the decision, personally I just don't care for their music.
I´m fine with the intro. It´s a perfect way to feature them in every episode, yet you can skip it and don´t loose anything important: I personally like Imagine Dragons, but ep. 1 intro was enough for me, skipped it in every other episode :D
And as for their featuring in ep. 5, transition in the middle of their song to Marcus and then Jayce was fine, but that sudden transition back from Viktor was like fist in my face, hate it so much. :D
@@ryanfuerst2406do you really understand though?
@@daurydavis3983 Yes, why is that hard to believe? lol
I want more Maple intro songs
👍🏾
Why people don't like Imagine Dragons? Wota gel wrong whith you?😮
Dis for this😢
Oh no someone doesn't like a thing you like??? "Imagine" that 😭😭😭🤣🤣😂😂
@@padenbang7375 but it's cool song
Tbh the beginning does somewhat spoil future events so skipping it would benefit imo
Day 16 of telling you to WATCH Mr robot
Skip the intro, it has cool visuals buts really it. The music video has unused scenes from the show if you want to watch it later
"Unused scenes from the show." Those were created specifically for the music video. They aren't from the cutting room floor.
Don’t worry ladies, you’re doing a lot of us a favor by skipping the intro. I don’t want religious music in my entertainment
AND WE’LL DO IT AGAIN ⏭️
That intro song is the worst part of Arcane for me. Nails on a chalkboard bad. Good thing the show is otherwise so excellent it's easy to forgive.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who find the opening song a bit cringy.
It's not cringy though
@@daurydavis3983 IM is the new Nickelback. It's just the thing to automatically hate.
@@Papadoc1981 since when?
@@Papadoc1981 I don't listen to that band, don't know any of their other songs. I'm only saying that the song is cringy as shit, if someone told me that it was from another band you would get the same response.
@@daurydavis3983 Since forever. Same with Nickelback and Limp Bizkit. In the beginning people couldn't get enough. Then their popularity grows and a few songs get overplayed and then suddenly people act like their the worse things that have happened to music. Can't mention their name without someone giving the same reaction Maple had.
Those who are of even the best of intentions leads down the road to hell
Waiting for episode 3 to make them cry like I did
I don't think they will. I'm getting negative vibes, I don't think they like it at all.
@@andrastarsoly7320 Which is weird, I mean, you don't have to like everything of course. But you'd think reaction channels would be able to discern quality. It feels like they're just watching, and not noticing everything that's groundbreaking about the show. Surprisingly few comments about the visuals, for example.
@@andrastarsoly7320 ep 1-2 are the intro. Ep 3 is when people decide if they like the show or not. It's usually the ALL IN episode for most people but the show is not for everyone. We'll see if they like it or not.
@@Onaterdem Yeah, I've also noticed the visuals part.
@@zissoulanderYup, ep3 is the all-in, I agree. I just felt that they have been pretty passive up until now, getting hung up on hating Imagine Dragons, etc. Maybe the background is missing from playing League as all the characters, world and story can be a lot to make sense of during the first 3 eps without any prelim knowledge.
But yeah, we'll see after the next ep :)
