Went completely blind as you Dan, watched it for Christmas. Best gift I've had in a while, this series is the shit 🔥
Same. Going blind is the best, as the trailer is super spoilery. Like Dan, I didn't know about the time jump, it was a pleasant surprise. If you watch the trailer, you see grown up Powder being a badass. Just from the pilot, a lot of people who saw the trailer were able to connect Vi's shy little sister, to the badass they saw in the trailer, which to me is a total spoiler. Glad I went it cold. I hope that for S2, Netflix cuts a better trailer. But either way, I probably won't be watching it, as I am already committed to this show.
Riot games make better series and music than games tbh
Their music rivals actual record labels
@@jinzok I agree with you, but, pretty much the only game that sucks in their roster right now is LoL, and most of the reason came not from the game but from the toxic community.
Anyhoo, any way for me to enjoy the lore without having to play league is generally a good thing for me.
I like how Hailey Steinfeld shades Imagine Dragons on Hawkeye, but plays Vi in Arcane.
Everyone: Good videogame adaptations cannot be done.
_Silco: We'll show them. We will show them all._
I loved how they sidestepped all the cliches. I was always afraid that oh now that’s Victor’s evil turn, this is where Vi sacrifices herself, this is where it turns out Silco was lying to Jinx all along… but no. It all developed naturally and without the need for cliches or crutches.
Vi and powder were so well done as children. Their overreactions, their sisterly relationship, the way they interact with adults. It’s one of the most grounded interpretations of children I’ve ever seen in a tv show
You can pause at practically any frame of the series and think, "did I just pause on what is supposed to be a promotional image?". It looks so damn good all the damn time.
It's animated concept art. It looks ridiculously good
Went into this show with zero expectations, and was completely blown away. Pure perfection. I do agree that Silco is a fantastic villain, but I disagree with your take that he was manipulative. He truly believed every thing he said to Jinx. Regardless, great review!!
I would need to rewatch his conversations with other characters (especially Vi), but I think he had to plant exaggerated ideas about Vi into Jinx's mind to get her to stay on his side, which is what any abuser does. I think he did come to care for her in a sick way, but he absolutely manipulated her to stay with him and not go looking for her sister. A lot of what he does in the show is typical gaslighting behavior.
@@reneew8181 He thought Vi was dead. She then shows up for the first time since she was arrested with an enforcer coincidentally after Jinx steals the Hextech. What else is he to think here? It’s not a good look for Vi. And not just that, he knows Vi would never accept Jinx the way she is now and wants to protect Jinx from that rejection. He does project his own thoughts after Vander left him onto her but he is genuinely looking out for her.
You can believe the things you are saying and still be manipulative.
Those are definitely not mutually exclusive.
He is manipulative, he's just a villain that is not plain evil and has more depth and complexity than most main characters in other shows.
Man been waiting on this. This show was the best surprise for me. As I never played the games, barely heard of them and I wasn’t really interested after the first episode but boy was I wrong
I love that every character has a hand in escalating the conflict rather than it being some definitive evil or definitive wrong side at the root of it all.
Jayce and Viktor's advances are coming from a honorable place but Heimerdinger's right that it's dangerous and that's proven by the end when it falls into the wrong hands. But Heimerdinger's not portrayed as an innocent party either, he's actively shown to be willfully ignorant of the corruption in the council and being out of touch with the people of the undercity right up until it bites him in the ass and he's forced to see it first hand.
Vi might ultimately be a good person but if you really look deeply into it, a lot of the conflict is the direct consequences of her choices right down to the initial decision to not just burglarize Jayce's apartment but bring Powder along on the job. And once we get to the final act she doesn't care about the damage she does or the people who get caught in the crossfire. She just wants to get Powder back and make Silco pay.
Even with Silco, I don't think he's as manipulative as you interpreted, I think he genuinely believes everything he tells Powder/Jinx and sees a kindred spirit in her, but ultimately he is still a terrible influence on a clearly broken and unstable child and the relationship does get uncomfortable at times.
Even the paragon characters like Ekko and Caitlyn have some share in the guilt. Ekko was a swindler and his tip to Vi to rob Jayce was the actual inciting incident of this whole story. He cares about the people of the undercity but doesn't afford that humanity to the topsiders up until he meets Caitlyn and then Heimerdinger. Caitlyn might ultimately want to be a force for justice but as an Enforcer and the daughter of a councilwoman she's part of the corrupt system that exploits and abuses the people of the undercity.
There's a lot of places where they could've fallen into cliches like genuinely making Silco a completely immoral manipulator with no genuine affection for Jinx and Vander, or doubling down on the conflicts making a clear divide between Vi and Jinx as well as Jayce and Viktor, but they were smart enough to know that it shouldn't be that simple. This show's honestly one of the best things I've watched in a while and I can't wait for Season Two. I've never played League I just know of it from friends and have always been curious about the lore so I'm glad Riot's finally given people like me an outlet to enjoy the franchise.
i think the main fault of vi is that she’s a bit closed minded when it comes to powder/jinx. jinx just wants someone to love her as she is, but vi cant provide that as she insists that “powder is in there somewhere” instead of realizing that jinx wants to be loved as jinx, not a discarded version of herself from about a decade ago
Gaslighters don't have to do it intentionally. I've been gaslit a lot in my life and am sure none of them meant to but it still fucked me up. Manipulation and gaslighting is still manipulation and gaslighting.
If you're going to mention the Hawkeye dig on Imagine Dragons, you gotta mention the Hailee Steinfeld connection. 😁
The magic to Arcane is the detail the creators put into the characters in using micro expressions in their face in delivering different feelings of each character getting to show it and not telling it.
Jynx’s story is basically a well told Harley Quinn story. Better than any we have gotten so far
One of the greatest animated series ever made.
We'll be lucky to have something so good again in a decade.
It doesn't need the qualifier.
Its a contender for the best first season of any show regardless of the medium used, hell, I'd say its there.
@@dairallan Ikr, arcane is not one of the best animated shows or netflix shows, it is one of the best shows ever made, period. Definitely in my top 10.
Season 2 :)
Arcane is the best thing I saw all year in 2021 and I'd even go so far as to say its best first season of a Show I've ever seen.
I'd put it below Westworld and Daredevil. Definitely top 3 for me
Arcane was the greatest show I've seen in ages...maybe even forever. It's just unbelievable.
I knew just as much about LOL as Dan did and I loved this show.
Never played the game, but got hooked on the show right away. Immediately wanted Dan to do a review on it, or at least see it. It was a fantastic show to watch.
Arcane joins the ranks of the LEGO Movie, and LEGO Batman for movies that didn't need to hit as hard as they did, so much love and care was put into it, and I'm loving them for it. I've never played League of Legends.
LEGO and LEGO batman was such a surprise. I tuned in thinking its going to be a Ninjago like but was happily surprised.
Dan, you need to watch the official Imagine's Dragon music video for Arcane, it has special clips that don't appear on the show itself, it is awesome on it's own as well. Take the 5 minutes today to watch another awesome thing.
Ekko flipping off the cops as he and Powder ride by on his wheel bike, lol
It also showed more of the sister’s dynamics too. You actually see that it’s not all sunshines and rainbows, they do fight even before shit went down.
Sorry, but the video most likely is not canon as you can see that Vi group is chilling as friends with the group they were fighting in the first episode
But still a great video
This show was a breathe of fresh air. It treats us, the consumers with respect. Can't remember the last show or movie even, that gave me the opportunity to think rather than force me along a character's agenda. I miss the NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN days, but this was some masterful borderline genius shxt too.
I don’t know anything about LoL but this show was a masterpiece imo. Unreal
You can always tell if a movie and show is good by Dan’s great face!
I went into this show completely blind. Have never played the games and have no knowledge of them and hadn't even watched the trailers. But man I think it's my favourite show of the year! Just beautiful! Finished it two days ago! Can anyone recommend anything like this because anything I've tried to pick up just does not fill the void haha
LOL EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS LIKE COMPLETE SHIT NOW LOL
Ditto. Epic. Have 0 background going into this, i loved it so much.
@@mkocel right? Going back to watching Young Justice after this show was..... Really difficult. And that's one of my favorite shows ever. Give people the right amount of time and budget, and they can make such beautiful stuff.
There is nothing like Arcane. Breaking Bad has as much character complexity and depth, mostly, but not every character gets the same depth as every character in Arcane (for example, Jesse's one note junkie GF.
The first five seasons of Game of Thrones are comparable. But we know how much that turned into a dumpster fire.
There's just very little that's in the same ballpark but anything that's close to being as deep with narrative and character doesn't have the visual style to top the package off. Its very hard to watch any other show now. Arcane has ruined visual media for me because NOTHING can compare to it.
@@dairallan Yeah I thought of Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. First season of GoT is quite comparable but can't recommend it because of the shit show after season 5. I think I would recommend the Witcher.
This show was so much better than it had any right to be. Netflix is killing it with these animated shows based on video games like Castlevania and Dota too.
hey now, dont give netflix the credit, that belongs with Fortiche and Riot. Netflix also just shat out that Cowboy BeBop live action dumpster fire too
@@mkocel Exactly, they simply offered riot the most money (I would imagine). Riot was making this regardless of whether Netflix wanted it or not. BUt still, props to Netflix for believing in this show and putting their money where their mouth is.
@@lockekappa500 Actually Riot is the one who put the vast majority of Money in.
@@HimitsuHunter He is saying that Netflix offered the most money to get Arcane's streaming rights from Riot, if it wasn't in Netflix it would have been in Amazon or HBO or even for free in Riot twitch or UA-cam, but the quality of the show wouldn't have changed one bit because Netflix had nothing to do with the development (and thank God they didn't).
Best show I've seen in a hot minute, period, thought not much would surprise me as I'm familiar with some of the lore and have played league for years, but this show stands on its own 2 yordle legs and says hold my health flask!
Fell into the same boat as you Dan, had enough people mention this show that it tickled my curiosity, and had zero experience with the game. I was completely blown away by how good this show ended up being. Loved the artistic style, characters, and story. Also really appreciated that they did take time with the world building for the uninitiated like me. And wow, what a finale.
Never played league of legends so didn't know what to expect, but it hooked me instantly. Such an incredible show with beautiful artwork and well-written characters!
If you haven't seen the show, and are interested in it from the first minute of this review from Dan, stop watching the video and go watch the show completely blind! It's so much better. Then come back and finish this wonderful review, obviously. :)
Funny thing about the Imagine Dragons line in Hawkeye, Hailee Steinfeld plays both Kate Bishop and Vi in Arcane.
Silco genuinely believed everything he was saying. He wasn’t trying to manipulate powder
I was hoping you'd review this one! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As a long time League fan I loved it, but it is awesome to see so many people outside of the League community enjoying the show.
The lore and the characters have always been my favorite part of the game, and I'm glad Rito decided to focus on those aspects!
@@eyesofthefox agreed. I just want their MMO already
I quit LoL since they deleted Dominion mode. This show make me play the game again. Now enjoying solo ranked queues.
This show is a masterpiece. Biggest surprise of 2021.
Arcane in its purest form is ART. From the animation, to the soundtrack, to the voice acting, to the writing. It's in, no pun intended, a league of its own. I've watched this show 4 times already and it's honestly one of the best shows I've ever watched...animated or live action.
Went in blind, but made a mistake and didn’t binge. I watched the first 3 episodes over weeks and while I appreciated the animation, I wasn’t a fan of the story. My biggest fear was that game fans knew something I didn’t. Like why I should be invested.
But watching 3 to 4 back to back elevated the show and I was hooked.
Also I was biased because I thought this would be like these sleek trailers from animators like Blur Studios that are built to sell the game and yet don’t translate to gameplay.
When it all came together for me. The music. The animation. The action beats. The story. I was wowed!
Glad you got around to watching (and ultimately enjoying the show). It feels like a lot of critics ignored it in the beginning but hopefully with the buzz the second season will garner more attention.
It been awhile since l have seen a show get praised this much and actually deserve it what a masterpiece of a show great review.
Best show of 2021
I also have been waiting for this 😁 I got excited for the show (even though I knew nothing of League of Legends) when I saw a trailer for it during the Netflix Tudum event and then kind of forgot about it until I saw it on Netflix. It blew me away, I love so many things about it, so glad you enjoyed it too!
So happy you reviewed this show! Arcane is probably the best animation show I watched last year. I loved that you never skipped the opening 🔥it gets me pumped lol
Re: Imagine Dragons - one of the music reviewers I follow (Todd in the Shadows) considers Imagine Dragons to make what amounts to corporate rock: ie, songs for Apple and Honda ads and whatnot. Thus, the fact that they made a perfectly good animated series theme song seems to fit their business model.
It's still art for people to enjoy and reflect upon. Many of the master painters and sculptors were commissioned by the church. Jingles and show theme songs from my childhood can still bring up memories or feelings from back then. Haters gonna hate.
As someone who plays league/other games from riot in this world and introduced to show to my family who knew nothing from the property I agree with things you said.
1. The show is probably better as a non game player as who characters are in game can be a complete spoiler for the show.
2. With riot rapidly expanding the type of games in this world those new people who loved the show have different ways to game/enjoy the characters. I.E. My dad plays their autobattler TFT on his phone and my sister played the turned base RPG ruined king.
3. Riot games and fortiche might be a power couple in entertainment moving forward. Arcane season 2 is happening but its also clear they both are working on other projects set up in the world to make this into a universe type property.
4. Finally the show did an astounding job keeping the story grounded to the characters. They didnt fling lingo of other regions, really the only minor one was noxus, and by the end of the season they showed you someone from noxus to fill in the place they briefly mentioned 3 or so times before. Just solid worldbuilding and storytelling
Dan. I'm like you. I'm about your age (39). Had zero interest in the game and know almost nothing about it. I checked this show out on a whim the first week it came out and fell in love with it. I immediately shared it with my 70 year old parents who also loved it. I eagerly await season 2. Also like you I have zero interest in playing the games after this. I just want more of the show :)
I am 45, I was flipping through Netflix and was starting to get bored with Netflix content and decided to give Arcane a quick try and was immediately hooked. I think as a long time anime/animated fan, this may be my all time favorite now.
I knew absolutely NOTHING about League either apart from it being a game that Dunkey hates and that Jinx was a character because I've seen so much fanart of her over the years.
I LOVED the show though. The art style is incredible, literally every frame a painting type stuff. The animation was gorgeous and the actual direction of the show is some of the best I've seen in film or TV ever, animated or live-action.
Also Imagine Dragons are a pretty wack band but they do have some bangers.
Surprised people haven’t watched this yet, it’s by far the best show of the year
(With succession coming in 2nd)
Squid Game does exist.
@@DanV900 it does and its the really well worth second place.
@@DanV900 honestly, I really don’t get the hype. It wasn’t bad, but I didn’t think the writing was that great
Love that you are doing more anime-animation stuff! Arcane absolutely blew me away and I also know nothing of league
Yes! Glad to see you liked the show as much as I did. Also, this was prob the best review I've watched so far; your analysis of the season finale was def spot on
See I've been playing the spinoff RPG that is based on League and simiarly doesn't require background and... Yeah I can really see how this universe can lend itself super well to storytelling. I'm definitely going to check out this series now, too.
Will never touch the origin game, though 😅
Was such a great show, this is what we want to see from video game adaptations. It proves you don't have to do things exactly like the games lore to truly put out a good story. Can't wait for season 2!
As a fan of league of legends since 2010, its very refreshing seeing a MASSIVE video game company like Riot just getting it so so right.
Woah. I didn't expect Dan to review this one but I was certainly hoping he would. Nice
Loved the show and really glad you liked it enough to review! And it's because of you that I actually appreciate and even enjoy data analytics, 10/10 would buy merch if you do go that route.
Arcane shows us why media monopolies suck. We all love Disney and we all grew up with it, but imagine a world where you couldn't get shows like Arcane. Imagine a world where you no longer have small studios like Fortiche that are willing to take risks. A world where every animated show/movie feels like it came off a conveyor belt.
I guarantee you that there are people working at Riot that wanted to do it the old-fashioned way and get some out-of-touch, money-hungry Hollywood executive to adapt the game, which would've resulted in yet another shitty fanservice-filled 9 episode long game trailer. And you know what these people would've said when it ultimately gets a lukewarm response?
"ViDeOgAmEs JuSt DoN't WoRk On ThE bIg sCrEen"
Those people need to be kept on a tight leash.
"ViDeOgAmEs JuSt DoN't WoRk On ThE bIg sCrEen"
Well, given that we're 1-100 on videogame adaptations, that makes Arcane the exception, not the rule.
@@brian0057 Except that it's not really a rule if there are exceptions. Those who make such a claim are unable to do the work necessary to make a quality adaptation. When they ultimately fail, they blame the medium, rather than themselves. Of course, It couldn't possibly have anything to do with their own decision-making as producers/directors/writers. It's the same for Anime.
There is no universal law preventing video game adaptations from being well-made. The only barrier is the chumps who are unwilling to take the source material seriously enough to make decent content.
I watched the show a year or so ago. That dwlivwry of "why did you leave me?" immediately made me tear up again. So powerful.
I loved Arcane. So beautifully animated!
Such great storytelling and complex, interesting characters!
I did hate the music, though.
I love this review as a huge league of legends fan, your perspective is refreshing!
visuals alone are revolutionary !
Thanks Dan for doing this review. To me, this show is art. Best animated live action anything for me since Enter the Spiderverse.
Happy new year Dan & Mara 💕
I'm here for engagement (TM), to thank being listened to, and to shut up about it. Thank you!
Thanks Dan, great review, I watched a lot of tv this year and this was my favorite and best show in 2021, beating out my second favorite Mare of Eastown
I had never heard of League of Legends; and I will never play it.
I love Arcane and have watched it many times.
Oh my goodness - The comparison of Kilgrave (purple man) with Silco, spot on.
I've only played Runeterra (Leauge online cars game) so I'm not super familiar with the world.
I loved the show. Great style, music, art direction and the voice work was spot on.
I loved this show.
The animation. The story. The characters. The art direction.
But damn, if I ever hear Enemeeeeeee again it’ll be too soon lol
Oh the misery...
@@joseaguilar3323 everybody wants to be my enemyyyyyyyy
@@satitlertritsumpun8930 Spare the sympathy!
Best show I saw in 2021. Really surprised me. Like you I didn´t know anything about going into it.
I am so glad you decided to review this!
Love seeing more TV coverage on the channel. You should watch Station 11.
Some of the fight scenes were disgustingly good, like laugh out loud decadently obscene. I think what we're seeing in part is the effect of "Into the Spider-verse" being integrated into existing artists.
actually Fortiche has been making fight sequences like that for the past decade for Riot for LoL cut scenes.
Thats why this got made, eventually they were just like, why dont you guys do a whole movie or TV show?
Actually fortishe is doing this technique well before the spiderverse for LoL videos. But never in that scale.
Fortiche created "Get Jinxed" in 2015, three years before into the spiderverse and that music video had this typ of animation.
Great review Dan. Arcane was such a pleasant surprise.
I had no knowledge of League of Legends and but couldn't stop watching this show. I can only hope they can give us a second season by the end of 2023.
I feel knowing about League of Legends is only a bad thing when it comes to Arcane, since any prominent characters would have plot armor.
That’s understandable since this show does kill off or permanently injure some major characters. I will say that as someone who knows a lot of league lore, I was still taken by surprise on some of the twists and loved the show.
That's cool. It's awesome that the show has surprising content for people who are versed and those who aren't.
That's the only thing that worries me. I'd like the show to take place out of the realm of, "they're in the game so we can't kill them off". The characters should have their story and it can end. But what they have done elevates them to the champion status and they are remembered in a game called League of Legends. I totally see Jinx having a tragic fate. Season two I feel maybe they won't be the central characters but whoever is left or comes into fill the power vacuum will be. I hope they don't water it down.
@@artboymoy To your point- while it's rare, LoL lore has not completely avoided killing off playable characters. I am aware of two champions who are canonically dead now (not talking about zombie characters or something like that). Your point about removing danger of dying is still valid though - if there is established lore then it's like when a prequel movie is made and the writers expect you to worry about someone you know you see later.
A small light in this is that Riot has been open to changing lore/updating many times in the past, so there's still a possibility of someone dying in a show even if I go in armed with the lore.
man this show has opened so many possibilities to visualize the world of runeterra and I can’t wait for it. I was expecting more of an anthology series with each season focusing on a different region in the world, like the ongoing noxian-Ionian war being shown or the voidborn monsters wreaking havoc in shurima, but I was pleasantly surprised that they started with the most grounded region with piltover and zaun. it looks like season two will continue with the story of the two cities but it definitely looks like they’re moving into the character arcs of vi becoming an enforcer, viktors descent into obsession with the evolution of the human race through machines and the creation of chemtech, and jayces subsequent turn into the hero of piltover and his hatred of viktor manifesting. it also looks like urgots rise to power will be shown as the noxians were introduced in the 3rd act, and Camille will be introduced and undergo her cyborg transformation as hextech progresses
So glad he reviewed this! I watched it a while ago and way to many people are sleeping on this show!
I still think that having the hextech completely unguarded for Jinx to steal was poor writing in service of moving the story forward. It would be like someone leaving some weapons grade uranium sitting around.
Best show of 2021, period. Nothing else comes even close. Arcane is just a storytelling masterpiece. I was never so blown away by an animated production since Spiderman Into the Spiderverse.
Silco didn’t completely manipulate Jinx. He genuinely thought Vi was dead for years. Also he did try to keep her away from Vi but that seemed to be more because he genuinely cared about jinx and didn’t want Vi to take her away from him.
Speaking from experience: Knowing about League of Legends prior to watching Arcane is actually a disadvantage, because ultimately, you know who isn't going to die. It kinda kills some of the drama and the stakes in certain scenes. The only thing you get out of knowing about it, are Easter eggs, sprinkled throughout the show, in the background.
Going into Arcane blind, is definitely the way.
Went into this show I thought it was going to be a kids show. Completely blown away by how well written it was and how emotional it was. The fact that it was about how technology advancement without caution is dangerous. How it tackle America classim
Been waiting for your review!!! :D
Hopefully we will find out soon if they are going to continue with this storyline or switch to another setting and another set of champions. This was so good I am fine with either.
Agreed. I have 100% confidence in the showrunners/writers for this.
It would be a good idea to move the focus to another region that was negatively impacted by the season 1 finale.
The Season 2 announcement trailer indicates they're continuing this storyline.
Definitely sticking with these characters but riot has other shows/movies in the works for other regions.
i think the biggest reason why the politics/political messaging works so well in arcane and doesn't work at all in a lot of other hollywood movies, is because arcane doesn't tell you how to feel. Other hollywood "political message" movies spend the entire thing telling you how you should feel, why its bad, why you're wrong if you dont agree, etc.
you can walk away from arcane in support of jayce, silco, vi, or root for jinx to burn it all down. it's all there.
nice. well said
Dan, do yourself a favor and get to watching Attack on Titan.. if you think Arcane is good, then you’ll love Attack on Titan, it’s arguably peak fiction and the final season is about to begin airing this Sunday. You won’t be disappointed.
AOT is mind blowingly incredible. The music is some of the best I’ve heard, great cast of characters, every piece of dialogue matters, it’s a tightly written masterpiece. Can’t wait for the final season to break the internet.
@@greatgoldenbaby722 Totally agree, regardless of how some may feel about the manga ending.. I personally thought it was better than most people are giving credit for. It’s getting a lot of exaggerated hate, but that’s just a testament to how great the story is.
@@DFTNSHEXGRM it's bad my guy and I loved AOT but it felt like GOT all over again.
@@philbox3productions You’re kidding yourself. GOT ending was horrible.. AOT’s ending was no where near as bad or as rushed, a bit rushed sure, but no where CLOSE as rushed and thrown together as GOT’s ending. I believe the anime will be expanding on the ending, as rumors are this final season will stop at chapter 131, leaving a final season part 3 or possible movie to wrap up the series.
Watching it for a second time this weekend..Such a beautifully unexpected show. Just awesome~!
Dan Dan Daaaan!! I was looking for the Screen Junkies 2021 supercut and did not found it. I re watched the decade supercut and was amazed to see that you were the one who edited the video.
Please make one for your channel it wouldn't be called the same due to copyright but you are dang well the best year in movies editor I have ever seen please please pleeeeease consider making one again it would really help your channel as well.
So glad you liked the show, i think its up there with spiderverse in terms of western animation, incredible the level of production we get today in tv shows.
I am really looking foward to you watching more animated shows. My big recomendations are Castlevania, Death Note and Attack on Titan. Those first 2 are finished, and attack on titan just started airing its final episodes.
Thanks for highlighting Silco's manipulation - a lot of the fandom has gone full "Silco's a great dad and did nothing wrong." Which I suppose is a natural result with some people and charismatic manipulator characters with drive.
I have not seen many people in the fandom say he did nothing wrong but he was not manipulating Jinx, he is just delusional and paranoid because of his own personal trauma.
They were smart to make an animation because people like me don't like playing LoL, but we'll watch and adore their show.
definitently in my top 3 netflix series
I wish you’d review more tv shows!
I don't get why people are hating on Imagine Dragons all of a sudden either. Their music is pretty good and unique
Arcane is the answer to every question of whether a prequel/video game adaptation/strong female leads/"woke" topics etc show can be any good. Yes, yes it can if you just make a good show and these things can be a part of it with no issues!
Hailee Steinfeld who dissed Imagine Dragons in Hawkeye is also in this show as the main protagonist lmao
Watched this today. I dont know anything about the game but i really enjoyed this
I really love how they portrayed class inequality and the fact that both sides are morally grey. The characters are complex and conflicted, the story telling is mature and lets you interpret things your own way.
I dont think Silco manipulated Powder. He genuinely believed Vi abandoned her and could relate to her. Once he realized Vi is alive he thought "too little too late" and wanted to keep Jinx too himself. He is right, Vi would never be able to accept Jinx, so he would need to give up on her, which is the one thing he would never do.
Like you, I knew nothing about LoL so went into this cold and was completely blown away by it. Story, writing, characters, animation, music, direction -- all cinematically amazing.
That bit of shade at Imagine Dragons in Hawkeye was all the more funnier because it was Hailee Steinfeld delivering the line, and she's the voice actor for Vi in Arcane.
PLEASE WATCH AND REVIEW “BLUE EYE SAMURAI!”!!!!
Same I never skipped the intro. Also radioactive by imagine dragons is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Arcane is a show that both haters and lovers of League of Legend love.
