Swain knows a lot about Jinx' history and secrets, we know that from his voice lines in the game, and we know Noxus is interested in the Hextech developement.
    I don't think we are going to see him in Arcane, but it's still a nice detail.

    I think imagine dragons apocalyptic punk vibe really works for Zaun. Especially since they are cannon street performers in Zaun now. The rest of the sound track is hit or miss, but the way it's implemented I think really covers for the faults. I love when they put on a track in show and there is an in universe reason the song is there. Usually a record player or the aforementioned street performers. A good example is Jinx listening to Get Jinxed in her little lair on a record player. Or 'Our Love' playing at the end of episode 2 but you see it literally playing in the last drop.

    As an Asian, an otaku/anime watcher and a league player before, the opening theme feels like much anime openings with the vibe of league of legends tournament which is the worlds. I kinda liked it especially when they added some more impact in the drop on the show itself. But watching up to act 2, I can still see the lyric linking up to the story of jinx and her punk but the tonality of the show itself being how dark it was, it sometimes gives it off the vibes knowing the opening is so upbeating. But yet, i still love the opening. The bridge leading to the hook always gets me. I love arcane version more than the original song.

    8:45 to 9:07 I'd say _especially_ in silent scenes. This show is a masterclass in "show, don't tell." So many important plot points are foreshadowed in the background, or in faces, actions, etc. This show says more when it doesn't say anything than when it actually speaks, and it speaks plenty.

    Hmm.... I don't find the show overtly sexual or even nearing that threshold.
    Jinx's outfit is a teeny bit (no puns intended) provacative in that it shows a lot of skin but still, it's well balanced. I wouldn't say Jinx is sexualized, even though I have no idea what her age is supposed to be here. I'm going to assume 18, making Vi and Cait somewhere in their 20s.
    Even the love scene was pretty tasteful. I'm stunned they could do a love scene and not have it look cringe af. Hats off to the show.
    Personally I think Mel is hands-down the most attractive character on the show, followed closely by Caitlyn. But absolutely, Vi is a handsome woman. They're all pretty well designed and exquisitely animated.

    I actually love the musical choice. It creates that “epicness” but not in a superhero way. It sounds like that cool exterior of a bad ass. It contrasts to a lot of the reality and sadness of the characters. I think the music choice actually serves to not make the show so dramatic that it’s hard to associate it with the excitement that is such a key part of it rather than exclusively the tragedy.

    I agree that the score is a bit off for me. A lot of the times I would prefer if there were no vocals at all. For example at the climax of episode 3 the vocals kick in too soon after the emotional moments.
    However they always hit the right mood but I would just prefer if those songs were instrumental 90% of the time. It would feel better to me.
    That said there are some really nice subtle hints: my favorite is the dissonant violin sounds when Jinx is getting flashbacks.

    Edit: also I don't use Twitter so I don't know what the Twitter mob thinks but I feel like this show does the strong female character and portrayal of gay characters really really well it didn't pander it didn't look down at the viewer it didn't make the characters feel (other) it was amazing ,so far everyone is rooting for vi everyone wants her to be even stronger and most people I've seen are rooting for her and Cait I rarely see a show that doesn't shove their message in your face and demands you like it, instead masterfully showed us the characters and let us naturally grow closer to them and who they are I like that
