#Arcane Season 2

God sevika arm is so fucking cool
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
Arcane continuing the trend of the only thing I absolutely love about League of Legends
God I love the little found family with jinx, isha and sevika. They are giving me life
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
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
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
WE HAVE AN ARCANE THREAD?

Did you guys hear the animation company even made a little trash PC game to promote the show? 
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
I keep getting confused thinking this thread is called Andor Season 2
Are new acts coming out every Saturday right?
Ya
The beginning of the end.
The next act of Arcane season 2 arrives November 16, only on Netflix.

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
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
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

oh
This is 100% for vander isn't it
I fucking knew they'd reveal warrick to be vander. But it still got me 😭
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
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
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
Her uniting The Undercity into Zaun is a perfect character arc for her
She goes from someone who ruins everything to someone who inspires
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
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
What was even going on with Jayce and Ekko 😭
Twink to himbo communication
I do hope episode 7 focus on ekko though. Insane he wasn't in act 2 at all
Hope he's not dead 
Silco/Jinx relationship is SO damn complex
He's in the game, he's fine 

"DON'T.TOUCH.MY DAUGHTER" was so fking epic
And Powder and Vi are the closest they've been in YEARS 
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
Did you ever play Legends of Runeterra? If not, it's fine, me neither, I'll go grab the screenshot I wanna share
I've never played it. But I know a decent amount of pieces and characters through general culture and engaging with arcane
Also I love how silco has a similar hair style to jinx. Implication that he helped style her hair 😭
It's funny cause her mom also kinda has her hair, just not as crazy
PRE-CATASTROPHE SILCO THO 
They were all a family
I desire a arcane au where everything went well and they all got to be a big family together
Also the fact that Silco never found Vander's note in the mines...
It's so fucking devastating
Another detail is that warick has the same coloured eyes as silco
We didn't deserve isha
TOO SOON 
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
At least jinx finally got to interact with viktor
Oh, Viktor
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 
... oh fuck
I just realized
Isha and Jinx never got to do the bug rematch they promised each other 
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
It's also a direct parallel to Powder's monkey bomb in Season 1
Though... hopefully she did save her loved ones
Oh god.. someone pointed this out
And then.....
BLUE EYES
POWDER
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
hey made two specific face rigs for her
I didn't know this
I'm gonna have to pay attention to that going forward
They went over it in bridging the rift. Really good look into how they made the show
Here, direct reference between the powder and jinx rigs
I really love the technical details of the show 
Champions will rise.

I honestly prefer the three episode release scheme than how Disney does it
I hope they release Andor S2 like this cause that show also splits its storyline into arcs
That would be SO good
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 
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
💀
What a final though
I can’t believe they packed that much into an hour long final but they sure did
Ekko really out here saving everyone
Also really funny that mel got leaked to be the next league champions 
Along with viktor rework
I'm kinda amazed they were able to kill off characters considering the lore of the game is basically ironclad 
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
You think ekko and powder was specifically supposed to mirror gwen and miles or if that's just a fucked up accident 
ash baby heimerdinger when
Heimerdinger:
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
I'm a bit angry at Vi
She had Jinx telling her to get to safety and just threw it all away
Jayce and Viktor somehow managed to have a scene that was more gay than the actual gay sex scene
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
I can understand tbh. She's been through a lot and didn't want to lose her father again. Especially after she was just able to get him back. She probably thought there might have still been something of vander left in there.
Or something 
I usually like my shows a bit more.. hopeful xD
Heimer vaporized, Jayce/Viktor teleporsurvivedmaybe??? Jinx escapedmaaaaaybe????
Nothing like a bit of darkness and despair to brighten up the day
I need some space from it xD
To be honest though I’ve seen a lot darker
I just watched The Penguin not that long ago 💀
I mean, the show always presented itself as a Greek tragedy 
But characters did get their happy endings one way or another
With how fucked everything was, I'm at least happy the sisters were in good terms in the end, whatever comes next
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
Oh, I also didn't care about the softcore porn scene 
Given the situation this is probably the best ending the characters could have gotten 😭
What the fuck was Orange haired girl's name??
The way the bullet bounced off was so damn cool
Maddie
Now FromSoft needs to make a game set in the post apocalyptic destroyed Piltover
If Heimerdinger didn’t decide to take one for the team they would have all been cooked
If I could change anything though. I'd let ekko know jinx survived and have him leave zaun and piltover with her
That was... odd xD
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
Well he's the hero of the story. He builds the happy ending. But doesn't get one himself.
Classic tragedy
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
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
I thought this was a prequel series to the game so how are these characters dead lol?
Yeah, but I think they spent too much time on it, but eh 
This show is the new canon
Like this IS League lore
Vi's Game lore: She punches cause........ iunno
Jinx's game lore: HEHEHEHXDDDEXPLOSIONSHEHEHEHE
Jayce and viktor is for interpretation. But jinx is pretty explicitly alive
Yeah, when I saw the “one episode left” pop-up my immediate thought was “that’s a lot to wrap up in one episode”
I hope they're all alive. They sacrificed so much already
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.
The fact there’s any debate about who’s alive or dead just confirms my gut feeling the ending was rushed and lacked closure
Isha sacrificed herself to stop the fighting and let jinx escape. Not specifically to kill Warwick.
There’s alot of TV show endings that leave characters fates uncertain and up to the audience’s interpretation tbf
I mean yeah but still
Idk I think the endings for all the characters are really satisfying and the fact their fates are up too interpretation is fine.
I gew a bit sour towards the show after the final episode, but eh 
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
I also felt pulling a Oh, Ascended WW is still somehow alive felt a bit... contrived?
Not impossible, but felt very convinient..
Also, the sisters barely had any agency in stoping Viktor
Ascended Warwick was murdering them
Yeah I’ll be honest I def liked S1 more than S2. S1 felt more grounded with the core conflict being the class struggle being between the high class and underground, of which this season just kinda shrugs off after the new HexTech mystery takes center stage
Agreed. Act 2 of Season 2 was my favorite.
I don't really think we need to explicitly see vi grieve though. Because we know it's not exactly who she is. We know she's devastated by the seeming loss of jinx. But she also still has caitlyn with her and both we and the characters know they'll get through it.
A scene showing that woulda been nice at least. Idk.
It just felt very “ah shit we gotta wrap this up”
Imagine if she dyed one of her locks of hair blue 
By the time she's by the fire with Cait
Yeah
People complain that Return of the King has too many endings, but I think it's because you need to give the characters time to grieve, mourn, and see where they're at the end
Arcane is still probs the best TV I've watched since..... Clone Wars???
I dunno, I don't watch too much TV
Funnily enough The Clone Wars was the first comparison I made. This show’s art style is TCW on steroids
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.
Yeah, I get that
But the final scene was literally that. She's remember jinx and powder for who she was. Humming the song their mother sang for her and that powder would also sing.
She's grieving her sister in her own way and living on with her memory. And moving on with caitlyn
They need to get these guys to write a Star Wars show/movie
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
I mean that is basically The Clone Wars lol
I meant.. I identify that era more by the show than the prequels
As much as I love Ewan and Hayden
The whole painted models aesthetic is very TCW-esque. Albeit, Arcane has that bigger Riot budget to give it more flair and detail
Also, apparently there were a lot of 2D elements in Arcane
That you'd think were 3D, but are 2D
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
Not exactly
Yeah, I don't think she got a spoken line in Act 3
She screamed. That's about it
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
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.
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
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
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
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
It’s alluded to it with the blimp at the end
I’m pretty sure Jinx, Viktor, Jayce and Heim are all alive
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)
Heimerdinger is Noah Kahan
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
I also assume the implication is that powder continues on with creating hextech after ekko leaves
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
There's also the fact the main universe is gonna get another hextech disaster. With swain recovering a hextech crystal from jayces hammer.
Its also cool how this directly lead to the z drive being built and is the exact reason jayce failed in every loop. The acceleration rune, which was key to the hex gates was key to the z drive actually working
I also love how the alternate universe where hextech destroys the world is designed
that was some SCP shit
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
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
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
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)
At least Sevika got attention
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)
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
I feel like s1 could have dragged a bit with 12 episodes. But s2 would have benefited a lot
I’d say S1 could take more tine while Powder and Vi are teens
Or well, before Powder and Vi split
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
Also.

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
Also proof there's some worth to league, even if the game ass 
Can Riot make that MMO already
I need to play a game set in the league universe that doesn’t suck ass
Well. There's the fighting game next year

We named the game.

#2XKO #ProjectL ...
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
The gayest thing to happen in the show is Viktor and Jayce at the end
And that's with the actual gay sex scene 
Girls kissing: ❎
“In all possibilities, only you”
The person that wrote that must be an insanely hopeless romantic I hope they’re alright 😭
I feel like to work on arcane it's mandatory for you to be gay and hopelessly romantic
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
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
I love how unrecognisable Viktor is from the start of the story to the end
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
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
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)
I've been laughing at this on and off all day
I can’t describe it but Smeech, both his name and him as a character exudes hardcore Glup Shitto energy
tbh thats all the chem barons
Even if it was only for three weekends it feels weird not having an Arcane arc last Saturday
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
I can always just rewatch the entire show tbf
no season 3. but more shows set after
Water and oil do mix guys
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
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.
This truly is a league of legends
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
And the airship at the very end of the finale
