viktor mask ?

this
twilit snow
it's cool, the mask grow from inside and it's hide viktor's insecurity

its cool for arcane
I dont wanna see that in game
just my opinion tho maybe Viktor mains will like it

skin probably get different mask but it's not the machine concept anymore
except the battlebot skin

I think the "void jesus" thing would be cool
as long as he keeps his Glorious Evolution stuff

it's never tied to void in the first place, the void herald is malzahar

all the purple stuff from the hexcore just makes it seem voidish

That was kinda the whole point
The old lore was a mess
And that's why Riot made Arcane cannon
To clean up the lore
And make it from scratch

The lore was a bunch of stories made by different people at different times with different goals in mind. In other words it was shit. The new lore has a CHANCE to be different

Epilogues are meant to close out a story them not having one is just telling you that this is a world not a story life will continue(probably in the form of another show) it's why things like marvel always have a post credit

it also wasn’t a single fight

Yeah ambessa is a playable character in league so its weird that they let us play her
Also warwick being vander is so predictable
sick cradle
ambessa death was not open ended
I mean in the sense that they never closed anything out with her no funeral no drakeblade in a rock like with the other noxus soldiers
no body no death for tv
gleaming lantern
they rushed the whole episode honestly but ambessa seems less opened ended than actual open ended characters jinx heim
torn crystal
Did jayce see go to the future or is it another alternate timeline like the one ekko and heimer went to
gleaming lantern
probably the future but it’ll become an alternative timeline anyway
because they stopped it from coming true

S2 EP7
fervent ravine
They could make a slice of life series out of that episode id be happy
untold vault
I assume the ratings for season 2 will go down as more reviews come in? Or at least it should
Ive yet to find someone who thinks S2 is overall better than S1
fervent ravine
Probably get some 8.9 8.8 but the reviews are already at 16k + so and ep 6 is at 22k and is still a 9.8 so probably not much movement there
untold vault
Interesting. I dont think S2 should be rated higher than S1 personally. It was still great tho
fervent ravine
Pacing problems persist in both S1 and S2 but I feel like a big part of the reason people are so against it is because everyone was told by publications that actually 5 seasons and got cut for budget so everyone has this idea that something was taken from them and that riot could have given more time like 'intended' even tho the creators have said time and time again that was never the case
untold vault
Im just very big on endings and imo the ending for S2 felt a bit too rushed
fervent ravine
Outside of pacing the only other mildly valid problems I had personally were some of the montage songs I didn't enjoy and the vi Cait sex scene could have been somewhere else and it would have made more sense given that jinx had just told/hinted to vi that she was about to off herself

Problem is you and I are immersed in the world of league constantly so we remember small details about arcane and the characters but the average viewer and this is something I have seen from tones of reviewers have forgotten tiny details from S1 because it took so long to release
fervent ravine

i totally agree
its a minor criticism for me overall
and they did a very good job with what they were given
the criticism remains though because there is always that question looming in the back of "what if they fleshed the episodes out more" it would undoubtedly be best series ever no contest for me
from an art view
fervent ravine
Anyone who makes the lore argument is silly and ill pretend those people don't exist because they are probably 0.01% of the people who actually watched arcane and they were told like 2 years ago that their favourite characters were unlikely to be in the show and unlikely to leave the show portrayed as they are in the game
winged dagger
yess
loud minority and all
still frustrating to read
cuz it takes away from the brilliance of the story

Personally, I think it works well. My only issue is it’s a bit confusing that they had both ambessa and Mel being chosen ones, ambessa being chosen by the wolf(as seen with the skin) and Mel being chosen as a powerful mage that has piqued the interest of the black rose
Also if arcane is canon that means ambessa is now dead

vi the one who stays there
because jinx scolds her nonstop that why couldnt u save vander
fervent ravine
First time watching that was as impactful as season 2 ep 6 but you could never have expected it unlike this time in ep 6
white lily
i probably felt depressed by season 1
in season 2 i think
ep3 was bad for mental too
andd
which one was the hug ending
ep5?
what would save the ending from the "i liked it but" storm is that if they release everything that was cut as a compilation
like lets say
bonus 1 minutes at start and at end so you know the context
fervent ravine
They could do a directors cut but I prefer if they work on new stuff I don't think there is much they can do to save the pacing problems that is worth while
white lily
i think the problem with season 2 was that
they wanted to give everything that the people wanted during thosee
2-3 year period right
and when they got everything they wanted, i mean theyre kinda right it feels like a
box of chocolate but no wrapper and its seethrough you know
like its nice but how? why? when?
like we see jinx (thanks to fortiche being literal demigods) almost starts crying when ekko tells her "someone worth building it for" from the expression
then we get to the scene where they storm piltover with the balloon like
and to make all that i think there was aaa
week timeskip?
maybe 2
left fog
nobody cares bout no damn sex scene
See that’s my thought, I don’t even care if they got together, I just want them to have an actual conversation bc their last interaction they were almost blow up after a fight
There were like 3 timeskips in season 2, very strange
white lily
sorry for yapping but this show is just
how could humans create something like this from nothing
white lily
There were like 3 timeskips in season 2, very strange
yea one to act 2
and thenn
there was 4 no?
left fog
Idk I just guessed, but more than 2
white lily
ep 3 to ep 4 then we got
ep 7 to ep 8
and another one before the figt
and again after the fight
5 skips

So this interview has come to my attention and, at the 1:30:09 mark, one of the writers revealed the writer's room was shrunk down to three people for season 2 💀

https://www.youtube.com/live/bgpWJl1NuTE https://www.youtube.com/live/bgpWJl1NuT...
i mean amanda was one
and christian 2
and the long haired guy 3
jesus
okay yea it was christian for 18 episodes
then alex yee 18 again
andd amanda for 13
out of 18
i think others just wrote scenes
amanda had 4 this season so that means
ep 7 ep 8
ep 3
and ep 9?
im just guessing
idk

S2 was written by 3 people ?
No it was written pretty much all in one go only revisions on the original stuff would have been written by 3 people

welp there it go
necrit said jinx is not dead
jayce bi, viktor gay, caitvi real, timebomb real
i better start seeing arcane cosplayers at pride instead of half naked old guys !!!
white lily
i am tired of the lux jinx shippers

I think there are undertones that viktor and Jayce could have romantic feelings but it can also be interpreted as a strong platonic bond
I think saying it’s one way or the other is silly, it’s ambiguous

if ur jg is good then it means a lot
since with that trinket hastes u just perma ward enemy jg and objectives
and clear anything the eneny puts down
so they have 0 vision
from that point the game is won
all down to whos skill better in teamfights
with all the changes and the bonus mob on the map
u have to play good again and as a TEAM
gray hinge
since with that trinket hastes u just perma ward enemy jg and objectives
? its useless for wards???
white lily
idk bruh

true i get oracle first reset
pliant warren
pog? maybe he will sing arcane songs

is this the isha song singer?

hey guys, got a question. is heimer just gonna respawn in bandle city with how yordles work in league lore? i mean the arcane heimerdinger
torn crystal
okay but what will happen if they die in a different timeline?
will they still spawn in their original timeline?
in bandle city or that timelines bandle city
tidal smelt
will they still spawn in their original timeline?
yeah this is what im wondering about
tidal smelt
yordles are apparently immortal?
they are. they die they just respawn
dark roost
the thing about heimer is that, it looks like the heimer in ep7 is still the main Heimer
so its as if the heimerdinger in AU and Main timeline are one and the same
fervent ravine
Could be that bandle city is kinda of like the TVA in marvel and is just excluded from the timeline and all yordles also have that effect. But everything bandle city and yordle related is very vague and unexplained/explored for now id just take it as he's dead with an asterisk
dark roost
Could be that bandle city is kinda of like the TVA in marvel and is just exclude...
nah, knowing that yordles are magical creatures, and arcane is magic, i would just consider heimerdinger as alive 95%
so yeah, bandle city is kinda like TVA

Are you talking about the one that got pulled out of line at the checkpoint in ep 4?
pliant drum
Yeah
torpid lintel
That was very clearly shown to be Isha?
It zooms in and you can clearly see Isha's face
torpid lintel
No it shows her face v clearly
pliant drum
Oh yeah it was shown wtf
torpid lintel
Yeah, it's why when Jinx was asked she looked at Isha
pliant drum
Yeah makes sense now

I really don’t like how they went back in time before ambessas death and cait reached her hand out and said, “you don’t have to do this. Come, you can join our league”

even before she put the bomb together, her crying on the bed was so sad
I really wonder what would have happened if Vi had managed to get to her
like, not be kidnapped by the guard guy
ngl, it really makes me wish that there was some way for current Powder and Vi to make up somehow
but we know that's never going to happen lmao
void knot
the crying on the bed scene, was horrible
but you could hear her
turn crazy mid cries
harsh olive
it just showed how much she needed validation and acceptance from Vi, being told to sit out on this one mission was enough

And we still have 6 episodes to go

And she got called Pow-Pow, my heart
everything is a mess and the characters are hurting and I hate it but I love everything

it's depressing seeing some of the hope some characters have

kinda makes me wish I had never played league in a way, so I'd be going in completely blind

the amount of flirting going on, I love it

like, I thought they might do some slight hints, let people make their own assumptions. Bit like current League lore
nah they fuckin dived right in there

caitlyn in the whore house uncomfortable with a man, give her a girl and she fucking bends over
are they together in lore?

there's like tiny hints and bit and pieces
you have to really search to make connections iirc
more like tiny flirts rather than any relationship
void knot
oooo
harsh olive
Arcane just kinda solidified that there's something between them other than just guesswork and theory
timber geyser
i really liked the vi and caitlyn dynamic
they wrote it really well
"dont call me cupcake"
"but youre just so sweet"
LOL
harsh olive
looking back, I feel the Imagine Dragon cameo in ep 5 was a bit forced
I mean, I like the band and the song, but it felt out of place imo
mint marlin
i agree, it was kinda funny to think they are actually part of the universe canonically tho

I thought that when 'Enemy' was first released tbh, but they full on doubled down on "They're a band in Zaun, they're canon"
