God sevika arm is so fucking cool

winter granite
#

Shit this was peak

#

I assume

opaque lake
#

HOLY FUCK

#

And the final episode is supposed to be even more crazy than this?

#

God I can't wait for act 2

#

I need to know what the fuck happened to Jayce, ekko and heimerdinger

#

Though I'm gonna assume they're lost in time/timeline. And ekko building his Z drive is what's gonna get them back

polar terrace
#

Arcane continuing the trend of the only thing I absolutely love about League of Legends

opaque lake
#

God I love the little found family with jinx, isha and sevika. They are giving me life

opaque lake
#

The continuing trend of jayce running to or seeking affection in mel. Then immediately ditching her to be with viktor is legitimately so fucking funny

polar terrace
#

Idk what they did with the OST this season but even that is a significant improvement since last time

#

And that was the only thing I could complain about

#

I didn’t really notice any songs from the OST

#

Mostly the pop songs that were memorable

opaque lake
#

There's a handful of songs I've liked from season 1. But I have found myself actively seeking out and listening to the s2 soundtrack over the weekend. More than I have for s1

Song reminds me though that I really wish the show would commit to playing get jinxed. Rather than playing a small snippet of it

polar terrace
#

Unfortunately

#

Enemy is not going away

rugged marsh
#

WE HAVE AN ARCANE THREAD?

#

Did you guys hear the animation company even made a little trash PC game to promote the show? PepeLaugh

polar terrace
#

Yep

#

I tried League of Legends several times even before the show came out

#

I could not get into it

#

My only hope for liking anything related to it other than Arcane and the lore is the MMO they’re developing

#

Which doesn’t have a release date, or any signs of coming out soon

winter granite
#

I keep getting confused thinking this thread is called Andor Season 2

polar terrace
#

Are new acts coming out every Saturday right?

opaque lake
#

Ya

polar terrace
opaque lake
#

god i really am convinced they're gonna retcon warrick into being vander

#

the more scenes they show off him in clear light makes it more obvious that they have the same frame

opaque lake
#

Man this fucking rocks

#

So much useless merch for arcane that I desperately desire

polar terrace
#

Viktor is to lesbians what Ambessa is to gay men

polar terrace
opaque lake
#

Vi Is legitimately so fucking funny.

#

Like several years in prison? Eh fine.
A week with a woman??? Immediately hits her emo phase and becomes a pit fighter

polar terrace
#

And they weren’t even a thing HG_YodaLaugh

opaque lake
#

I love arcane art. It's like one hand you have normal fanart. Then on the other hand you have renaissance art of vi and caitlyn having sex or gay jesus

opaque lake
#

oh

#

This is 100% for vander isn't it

opaque lake
#

I fucking knew they'd reveal warrick to be vander. But it still got me 😭

opaque lake
#

THOSE BASTARDS

#

THEY CANT JUST END THE ACT LIKE THAT

iron meteor
#

Gotta say the direction they’ve taken with Jinx during the second arc is not at all what I was expecting

#

It’s pretty good

opaque lake
#

I'm really happy how much arcane has changed jinx. I like what I know of her from league. But I like that she's just a little unhinged and not a bootleg harley quinn like she is in the game

opaque lake
#

I can really never understand how people say silco didn't love jinx. Like yeah he was kinda manipulative. But literally everything he did was for her, even if it got lost along the way.

#

Zaun was for her and vi, and the fact its jinx who's gonna unite them is so goddamn peak

polar terrace
#

Her uniting The Undercity into Zaun is a perfect character arc for her

#

She goes from someone who ruins everything to someone who inspires

opaque lake
#

It's really fucking good

#

Though I really do hope isha just hurt and isn't dead. Like maybe vander protected her and took most of the blast. Since we know warick alive due to him being in the game and I think it would suck for jinx to lose the one thing that made her genuinely happy in life

#

Also having singed be confirmed as Orianna father was nice. I know it was speculated for awhile that it was probably the case (makes me wonder if we'll actually see that. Since singed needs something to do for the last few episodes)

#

No idea how they'll wrap every up in 3 episodes though

#

Especially since we have nothing on ekko and barely any development on mel and LeBlanc

iron meteor
#

I’ll be real disappointed if they decide to reverse Jinx’s character back to her killer self again after these last few episodes

#

Spider-Man ass writing

#

But I trust that they know what they’re doing

#

There’s still a lot to flesh out with Jayce and the HexTech cube too

polar terrace
iron meteor
#

What was even going on with Jayce and Ekko 😭

opaque lake
opaque lake
#

I do hope episode 7 focus on ekko though. Insane he wasn't in act 2 at all

rugged marsh
opaque lake
rugged marsh
#

And Powder and Vi are the closest they've been in YEARS PepeHands

opaque lake
#

I love that the show hasn't made them despise each other like they do in game. Giving them an actual relationship is so fucking good

rugged marsh
#

Did you ever play Legends of Runeterra? If not, it's fine, me neither, I'll go grab the screenshot I wanna share

opaque lake
#

I've never played it. But I know a decent amount of pieces and characters through general culture and engaging with arcane

rugged marsh
#

@opaque lake

opaque lake
#

Also I love how silco has a similar hair style to jinx. Implication that he helped style her hair 😭

rugged marsh
#

It's funny cause her mom also kinda has her hair, just not as crazy

#

PRE-CATASTROPHE SILCO THO crycat

#

They were all a family

opaque lake
#

I desire a arcane au where everything went well and they all got to be a big family together

rugged marsh
#

Also the fact that Silco never found Vander's note in the mines...

opaque lake
#

It's so fucking devastating

#

Another detail is that warick has the same coloured eyes as silco

rugged marsh
#

Then there's this little GOAT FeelsStrongMan

opaque lake
#

We didn't deserve isha

rugged marsh
#

TOO SOON HG_PorgScream

opaque lake
#

I'm gonna live in denial for the next week

#

Gonna chose to believe that vander shielded her from the blast and she's just really injured

rugged marsh
#

Fking Jayce going rogue insano

#

This show fking hates Powder <<

opaque lake
#

At least jinx finally got to interact with viktor

rugged marsh
#

Oh, Viktor

opaque lake
#

Jayce, mel and heimerdinger are the only characters she hasn't interacted with or been close too, and that's honestly funny

#

heimerdinger would fucking hate her HG_YodaLaugh

rugged marsh
#

... oh fuck

#

I just realized

#

Isha and Jinx never got to do the bug rematch they promised each other FeelsStrongMan

opaque lake
#

Call me crazy. But I'm gonna take isha sacrificing herself, to be a direct parallel to jinx staying back to fight off warick while sevika and isha escape

rugged marsh
#

Though... hopefully she did save her loved ones

#

Oh god.. someone pointed this out

#

And then.....

#

BLUE EYES

#

POWDER

opaque lake
#

If you pay attention to jinx face you can visibly tell if she's currently leaning towards powder or jinx.
Since they made two specific face rigs for her that they can seamlessly switch between and represents both sides of her

#

Easy tell is that powder has larger eyes and a rounder face. While jinx eyes are smaller/narrower and she has a more angular face shape

rugged marsh
#

hey made two specific face rigs for her

#

I didn't know this

#

I'm gonna have to pay attention to that going forward

opaque lake
#

They went over it in bridging the rift. Really good look into how they made the show

rugged marsh
#

Oh, it's a documentary.

#

I need to watch that later

#

It's also old xD

opaque lake
#

Here, direct reference between the powder and jinx rigs

rugged marsh
#

Can't believe I never found it before

#

Oh, woah

opaque lake
#

I really love the technical details of the show HG_YodaLaugh

polar terrace
iron meteor
#

It sucks waiting until Saturday for the ending lmao

#

I have so many questions

rugged marsh
#

I honestly prefer the three episode release scheme than how Disney does it

polar terrace
#

I hope they release Andor S2 like this cause that show also splits its storyline into arcs

rugged marsh
#

It's literally three times the hype and three times the discussion afterwards when we know we're getting three episodes every week.

2 hrs monkaPopcornSHAKE

rugged marsh
iron meteor
#

Bruh finally

#

It’s almost time

iron meteor
#

Starting off very strong wowzers

#

An Ekko centered episode is honestly deserved and very refreshing

#

Ekko having the best days of his life while Jayce is out there suffering through the apocalypse 😭

#

Wasn’t expecting the first episode to be so lighthearted but I’m not complaining

polar terrace
iron meteor
#

💀

#

What a final though

#

I can’t believe they packed that much into an hour long final but they sure did

iron meteor
#

Ekko really out here saving everyone

opaque lake
#

Finally, lesbian sex HG_YodaLaugh

#

The true plot point this show been building up too

polar terrace
opaque lake
#

Also really funny that mel got leaked to be the next league champions HG_YodaLaugh

#

Along with viktor rework

opaque lake
#

I'm kinda amazed they were able to kill off characters considering the lore of the game is basically ironclad HG_YodaLaugh

#

Though there's the strong implication that jinx Is still alive at least

#

Like you can see a purple shimmer trail escaping the blast, caitlyn looking at the hexgate plans and noticing all the air ducts, the airship (powder always wanted to ride one), and jinx glitches at the end

#

But God this shows so good. I'm gonna miss it

opaque lake
#

You think ekko and powder was specifically supposed to mirror gwen and miles or if that's just a fucked up accident HG_YodaLaugh

gleaming thorn

opaque lake
#

ash baby heimerdinger when

iron meteor
#

Rip my bro Heimerdinger

#

Dude really took one for the team

opaque lake
#

Heimerdinger:

opaque lake
opaque lake
# rugged marsh I was gonna say, no bodies

Tbh jinx is the only one I'd put definitively as not dead.
Jayce and viktor are up there as probably. But also the rune was a teloportation one. So they could be anywhere

rugged marsh
#

I'm a bit angry at Vi

#

She had Jinx telling her to get to safety and just threw it all away

iron meteor
# opaque lake

Jayce and Viktor somehow managed to have a scene that was more gay than the actual gay sex scene

rugged marsh
#

Though like... see how Vander blows out the candle and leaves them to sleep when they were kids? It would make sense for Jinx to blow out Vander's candle for them as grown ups to carry on

opaque lake
rugged marsh
#

Or something monkaMEGA

#

I usually like my shows a bit more.. hopeful xD

#

Heimer vaporized, Jayce/Viktor teleporsurvivedmaybe??? Jinx escapedmaaaaaybe????

iron meteor
rugged marsh
#

I need some space from it xD

iron meteor
#

To be honest though I’ve seen a lot darker

#

I just watched The Penguin not that long ago 💀

opaque lake
#

I mean, the show always presented itself as a Greek tragedy HG_YodaLaugh
But characters did get their happy endings one way or another

rugged marsh
#

With how fucked everything was, I'm at least happy the sisters were in good terms in the end, whatever comes next

opaque lake
#

Heimerdinger learned how to live and gave his life for ekko.
Jayce and viktor get to be gay together somewhere.
And jinx is free of the cycle and gets to leave and live somewhere else

rugged marsh
#

Oh, I also didn't care about the softcore porn scene OMEGALUL

iron meteor
#

Given the situation this is probably the best ending the characters could have gotten 😭

rugged marsh
#

What the fuck was Orange haired girl's name??

#

The way the bullet bounced off was so damn cool

opaque lake
#

Maddie

rugged marsh
#

Now FromSoft needs to make a game set in the post apocalyptic destroyed Piltover

iron meteor
#

If Heimerdinger didn’t decide to take one for the team they would have all been cooked

opaque lake
#

If I could change anything though. I'd let ekko know jinx survived and have him leave zaun and piltover with her

rugged marsh
#

Dude's just depressed on the rooftop and good ridance, I guess??

#

His mentor is dead. His (girl)friend is dead, his fellow fighters are either dead or have moved on

#

And didn't seem like he even talked with Vi after everything

opaque lake
#

Well he's the hero of the story. He builds the happy ending. But doesn't get one himself.
Classic tragedy

rugged marsh
#

I suppose that's true

#

I think they were trying to juggle way too many things by the end

#

Black Rose, the sisters, Ekko and Heimer's time travel escapades, Viktor and Jayce, Ambessa and Mel.... and Singed

opaque lake
#

Idk, I think the only rushed element was mel story. But that's also clearly because they're setting up le blanc and noxus to be explored in the next league series

eager nacelle
#

I thought this was a prequel series to the game so how are these characters dead lol?

rugged marsh
opaque lake
#

Fuck the game HG_YodaLaugh

#

Also only heimerdinger dead HG_YodaLaugh

polar terrace
#

Like this IS League lore

rugged marsh
#

Vi's Game lore: She punches cause........ iunno
Jinx's game lore: HEHEHEHXDDDEXPLOSIONSHEHEHEHE

opaque lake
#

Jayce and viktor is for interpretation. But jinx is pretty explicitly alive

polar terrace
#

Riot themselves confirmed it

#

Everything the show does is the new canon

eager nacelle
rugged marsh
#

Also, if Jinx died and with Singed using Warwick's body anyway... it almost feels like Isha died for nothing

#

So I do hope Jinx is alive for that reason as well.

iron meteor
#

Nah they are all dead now the end

#

Cass and Vi actually explode after the credits

eager nacelle
#

The fact there’s any debate about who’s alive or dead just confirms my gut feeling the ending was rushed and lacked closure

rugged marsh
#

lacked closure

#

That

opaque lake
iron meteor
eager nacelle
#

I mean yeah but still

opaque lake
#

Idk I think the endings for all the characters are really satisfying and the fact their fates are up too interpretation is fine.

rugged marsh
#

I gew a bit sour towards the show after the final episode, but eh HG_ObiShrug

eager nacelle
#

The sister’s relationship was the core emotional crux and Jinx may or may not be dead and we don’t even see Vi wrestle with that

rugged marsh
#

Not impossible, but felt very convinient..

#

Also, the sisters barely had any agency in stoping Viktor

#

Ascended Warwick was murdering them

eager nacelle
rugged marsh
opaque lake
rugged marsh
#

THEY KILLED LORIS

#

Heimer's banjo song was fire

eager nacelle
#

It just felt very “ah shit we gotta wrap this up”

rugged marsh
#

By the time she's by the fire with Cait

eager nacelle
#

Yeah

rugged marsh
#

Arcane is still probs the best TV I've watched since..... Clone Wars???

#

I dunno, I don't watch too much TV

eager nacelle
opaque lake
# rugged marsh Also, the sisters barely had any agency in stoping Viktor

Viktor wasn't their fight though 😭
They literally met him once. Them being there for the finale was more of a solidarity thing. Warwick continuing to be used was more so to highlight a disrespect viktor had developed for other people atonamy and driving home how much he's lost sight of his actual vision to improve people's lives.
Jinx and vi having to fight him was more so to just give them something personal to have in the fight. Which works well for the situation and drives vi not having closer on vander like jinx does.

opaque lake
rugged marsh
#

They need to get these guys to write a Star Wars show/movie

polar terrace
#

Animated Star Wars show with this style would go hard

#

I love the Clone Wars style

rugged marsh
#

Yeah, that's how I imagine the CW era more than the prequels xD

#

I really don't rule out all Arcane characters showing up again in future Riot-helmed productions

eager nacelle
rugged marsh
#

As much as I love Ewan and Hayden

eager nacelle
#

The whole painted models aesthetic is very TCW-esque. Albeit, Arcane has that bigger Riot budget to give it more flair and detail

rugged marsh
#

Also, apparently there were a lot of 2D elements in Arcane

#

That you'd think were 3D, but are 2D

opaque lake
#

The only complaint I'll really give this act is the lack of sevika. Considering she got a cool ass harm. Had one fight with it then never used it again. Though at least she gets to be the representative of zaun

polar terrace
rugged marsh
opaque lake
#

She screamed. That's about it

opaque lake
#

I really wish they'd stop having merch be China exclusive. This shits cool as fuck and I want it

#

Nvm it's on the main store

opaque lake
#

Fuck it, I'll cancel the sabine hot toys and get this. Lot easier to budget around

#

Wdym ekko and jinx ship name is timebomb 😭

It's amazing how beautiful this song is

#

Both capturing jinx want to kill herself. But how she so desperately wants to change and keep on living.

opaque lake
opaque lake
#

I can't believe riot made a 250 million show just to justify completely reworking viktor

#

Also really funny that league players are complaining about him getting a full visual and gameplay rework. When literally nobody cared about viktor before arcane and was one of the worst champions in the game with no consistent lore or characterization

polar terrace
opaque lake
#

Call me crazy, but I'm like 70% sure jinx will be in the noxus show when it comes out. Like especially if they want to do another take on the zaun/piltover dynamic with Ionia and noxus. Have jinx go to Ionia to heal herself in away. And get swept up in the conflict they have with noxus

#

Also realised the reason jinx probably jumped as her final suicide attempt was probably because ekko mentioned her blowing him as well. And jinx wanted to get him out of the blast radius

opaque lake
#

Also another two things I noticed with ekko, is the fact this was the only successful loop. Because it's the only when where ekko made the z drive and was able to return home. And the fact viktor sees ekko as a green streak of light in his gay jesus vision. Highlighting him against a sky of silent stars. As the only one moving for progress

polar terrace
#

I finally watched the last four or so episodes

#

The Ekko alternate universe episode is my favourite episode in the entire show

#

And while I think the conclusion is a bit rushed this season is still a high 9/10

#

The first season is a 10/10

#

I still love how it all got wrapped up

polar terrace
#

I’m pretty sure Jinx, Viktor, Jayce and Heim are all alive

opaque lake
#

Heimerdinger I feel like could be up there. But I wouldn't be surprised if he's in one of the 3 regions of the next show with jinx (mainly since he hasn't interacted with jinx herself and I'd love to see him mentor her)

gleaming thorn
#

Heimerdinger is Noah Kahan

polar terrace
#

I am trying to piece together the lore dump of the last episode but I’ll have to do a rewatch

#

Basically the alternative reality stuff and how every reality has hex-tech invention be the anchor

#

And it’s so genius that in the universe where Jayce doesn’t invent hex-tech coincidentally has Ekko invent it so he can return to his universe

#

This is why that’s my favourite episode in the entire show

opaque lake
#

I also assume the implication is that powder continues on with creating hextech after ekko leaves

polar terrace
#

Oh heavily

#

She is shown to know how to reverse engineer hex-tech in S1

#

She definitely continues it in that universe

#

Having an older Viktor be the mage that gave Jayce the rune in every universe so he can then be stopped because his vision of “perfecting” humans doesn’t get fulfilled

#

This is how you do a satisfying time loop

opaque lake
#

There's also the fact the main universe is gonna get another hextech disaster. With swain recovering a hextech crystal from jayces hammer.

opaque lake
polar terrace
#

I also love how the alternate universe where hextech destroys the world is designed

#

that was some SCP shit

opaque lake
#

The art design in the show honestly never misses

#

I do really wish the mel storyline got more time. But i also fully understand that will be the focus of the next league series

polar terrace
#

As I said

#

First season is a 10/10

#

I legit cannot think anything wrong with it

#

S2 is a 9/10

#

Just because some plotpoints didn’t have time to cook properly

#

But the scope of S2 is huge because of it

opaque lake
#

I feel like the only thing that actively brings season 1 down is the inclusion of the chem barons. Since they're incredibly under develped. But it's also like yeah, they're important to the lore and setting of zaun. But just not the plot directly

#

So they kinda needed to be there

polar terrace
#

I don’t mind it

#

They don’t need focus

#

S1 was focused on what mattered most

opaque lake
#

Yeah. I just would have liked their purpose to have been fully made clear. Especially considering that by s2 it doesn't really look like they were important at all and silco just tolerated their existence.
(Could probably cut them from both seasons and nothing would have really changed)

polar terrace
#

At least Sevika got attention

opaque lake
#

But also a shame that basically all her moments post act 1 got cut.

#

(It's confirmed she was gonna have more. But a lot of act 3 i believe got cut down to save the animators from slaving away)

polar terrace
#

Absolutely insane take but this show could have benefited from 12 episodes a season

#

It’s already long

#

But having one more arc could have made for an even better show

opaque lake
#

I feel like s1 could have dragged a bit with 12 episodes. But s2 would have benefited a lot

polar terrace
#

I’d say S1 could take more tine while Powder and Vi are teens

#

Or well, before Powder and Vi split

opaque lake
#

Maybe could have taken more time to explore caitlyn when she was a teenager as well. Considering she gets like 3 scenes in act 1

polar terrace
#

All of this is honestly just nitpicking

#

I am happy this show even exists

#

It’s proof you can make a wildly popular animated TV show with a gorgeous artstyle and it not sucking or being too corporate

opaque lake
#

Also proof there's some worth to league, even if the game ass HG_YodaLaugh

polar terrace
#

Can Riot make that MMO already

#

I need to play a game set in the league universe that doesn’t suck ass

opaque lake
#

Well. There's the fighting game next year

polar terrace
#

I just hope the MMO isn’t ass

#

It could literally be the next WoW

opaque lake
#

I have some hope. It would be insane for riot to fumble it. After getting so many people interested in the world

#

Also rip to the person who said they'd start playing league is viktor and jayce had even a remotely gay scene together by the end of the show

polar terrace
#

The gayest thing to happen in the show is Viktor and Jayce at the end

opaque lake
#

And that's with the actual gay sex scene HG_YodaLaugh

polar terrace
#

Girls kissing: ❎

#

“In all possibilities, only you”

#

The person that wrote that must be an insanely hopeless romantic I hope they’re alright 😭

opaque lake
#

I feel like to work on arcane it's mandatory for you to be gay and hopelessly romantic

polar terrace
#

The fact no one is review bombing this

#

It’s one of the gayest shows I’ve seen

#

Considering the player base of League too

opaque lake
#

I feel like league players themselves are just too depressed to review bomb it.
Doesn't stop them from bitching and acting like league ruined by arcane

#

God the amount of people upset over the fact viktor got a full visual and lore change is insane

#

Like bro viktor design was bad. There's a charm to it, but it doesn't change how shitty it was

#

And the fact neither his lore or characterization was consistent before arcane.

#

With him going back and forth between a genuine transhumanist revolutionary and robot hitler

polar terrace
#

I love how unrecognisable Viktor is from the start of the story to the end

opaque lake
#

I love how you can still see his human face on the sides of his head in the final design

#

Also ekko being able to resist viktor evolution because he already experienced his paradise and willingly gave it up

opaque lake
#

So I guess the implication is that ekko was able to create the z drive in the other loops. But probably wasn't able to go past the 4 second limit without harming ekko himself?
Which made it so he just ended blowing himself up rather than viktor

opaque lake
#

Actually. I have one complaint for the finale. I wish they kept the earlier design where jinx was wearing ekko jacket.
(But I also gets its a big fucking jacket, and animating on top of jinx small frame and fast movements would have probably been hell for the animators)

opaque lake
#

I've been laughing at this on and off all day

polar terrace
opaque lake
#

tbh thats all the chem barons

opaque lake
polar terrace
#

Even if it was only for three weekends it feels weird not having an Arcane arc last Saturday

opaque lake
#

Doesn't really feel real that it's over.
Like damn, we just had a generational piece of media leave us

#

(Until the noxus show)

#

Also sucks that's there's legitimately nothing like the show that can really replace or help the itch to have more of it

maiden shell
#

Yeah pretty kino

#

So no season 3?

polar terrace
#

I can always just rewatch the entire show tbf

opaque lake
maiden shell
#

Neat

#

Hopefully same animation studio

Regular Show ahh show

#

"In all timelines, in all possibilities only you can show me this." WHAT IF I KILL MYSELF RIGHT NOW GOD DAMNIT

maiden shell
#

Don’t die or you’ll end up naked and made of stars

#

Wait that sounds more pleasant

rugged marsh
#

Looking again at that scene where Jinx blows Warwick up, it's so obvious she jumps away. The pink escape line is so easy to see.

#

Also Ekko was like "Sometimes to go forward, you have to leave a few things behind" in this case Vi. She's breaking the cycle without either of them having to die.

winter granite
#

This truly is a league of legends

opaque lake
#

There's also the entire fact she literally says to vi "I'll always be with you sis. Even then we're worlds apart".
The entire fight she was telling vi this is it. She's leaving once this is done.

#

She also had to fake her death because vi was literally never going to let go of her. No matter what, vi is always going to love jinx, and it will just hurt her more and more. She's just incapable of letting go, evident with her still hoping vander in Warwick when he's very clearly gone.
Jinx had to physically remove herself from the cycle to make it so vi could ever have a normal life

gleaming thorn
#

And the airship at the very end of the finale

polar terrace
