i highly recommend actually watching the show. not only is it insane technically, the art style, the animations but the story bro- the emotions are so raw- it’s SO phenomenal-
It's the way the first time I watched it I thought it was really good, BUT THE SECOND TIME AROUND A WHOLE MASTERPIECE THE STRUCTURE OF THE STORY IS TOO GOOD😫
Absolutely agree with you
they even made the cinematography to feel like an actual camera, blur, glare, movements (other camera terms i'm not knowledgeable enough) the transitions are crisp af too, they deserve all awards they won and more with this revolutionary animation of a masterpiece ✨💜
@@malteherzog1827 i have not played the game and i'm aware of how much i'm probably missing because of that but nonetheless arcane is one of the shows that i’ve enjoyed most watching and i think that really speaks for it :3
@@malteherzog1827 so what? i don’t get the point you’re trying to make
Few notes, Jordan.
The transistion which shows Jinx in her adult version by a frame is also present on the bug coming out of the mouth scene.
Also, we know that you didn't watch the show yet because you speak about how people make trailers speaking of merging scenes together, but every scene you watch in Enemy music video is NOT presented on the show. They are all shots made exclusivily to the music video.
I honestly never even realized it transitioned from Powder to Jinx in that clip until watching this.
@@buddhamonkey Same. The frame by frame freeze let me take notice of that very quick change that I had missed on my initial watch.
YEAH WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS, NOTHING ON TRAILER WAS IN THE SHOW!! ITS SO WTF MOMENT
Well, yeah they're not really shots taken directly from the show, but the point still stands that this music video's plot is meant to be vague
@@tumbke oh yeah i agree but i think people were expecting the MV to be shots taken from the film, we didnt expect theyd animate everything just for the MV which was amazing
“Every single frame is an art piece.” Yup, that’s the entire show.
5:35 / 5:36 oh. my. god. If it wasn't for Jordan showing the transitions, I would NEVER realize that little Jinx quickly transforms into teenage, mad crazy Jinx for a second.
Same at the 8 minute mark! Never noticed!
WHATTT
Same bruh i didnt know
It Aldo hapen when the bug came out or her mouth
and I wouldn't have noticed that if I didn't see your comment lol, sheeesh the transition is so dope
the mv is showing Jinx's descent into madness after everything that's happened to her. you can see the mix of emotions, the confusion, & CHAOS in her mind.
I think a lot of what's shown in the video makes more sense after you watch the show, especially what you were mentioning with "young Jinx" and "older Jinx" being in the same frames and scenes at the same time. Because the show explains how they are pretty much two different people in one body, and "older Jinx" has kind of overshadowed and taken over "young Jinx" (p.s. I am aware of their names, I didn't want to say too much, but I think this much is pretty surface level with the show so not really a spoiler)
Jinx's original name is Powder. Also yeah I agree since her phycological damage has changed her to badly
My take is a little bit different from yours actually, I think that in that frame, it shows that jinx is actually just powder in essence even though she's already older by that point because had so much trauma and couldn't decide on her true and final identity until the end of the show, if you get what I mean😅, but I think what you said also makes sense
well I dont think Powder being Jinx is a spoiler anymore coz u literally see it in the music video. I also think the music video is ment to be watched after the show.
my theory is that Jinx is standing behind Powder to watch over her because Jinx is kind of like a new personality Powder formed to protect herself since everything was just too hard for her to take in with the way she used to be when she was young
I also saw it as young jinx allowing older jinx to almost completely take control as a defense mechanism against all the trauma young jinx has faced. Hence why older Jinx is standing taller behind the younger in that shot.
Oh damn! Today's the first time I realized this but by the time the bug left Powder's mouth, she actually had a split second transition there where she became Jinx! (5:34)
I also never noticed omg I thought I couldn't love this more than I already do hahah Fortiche is just crazy
Yess more League stuff! I’ve adored this music video so much, it had such interesting concepts and animation. Fortiche are literal animation gods at this point
Ha hakdog?
the little mechanical monkey is also a reference to when she was first released in the game, she got a whole music video about the destruction she causes and the clapping monkey is heavily present
Excuse me, Sir, you HAVEN’T watched Arcane?!?! You really need to watch it when you have time, it’s incredible. I have a feeling the music video will also make more sense after you have seen the show.
I feel like he wouldn’t watch it tho as there are some lgbtq+ and a couple F words. He is Christian lol. BUT I AGREE WITH YOU CUZ THE SHOW IS JUST TOO GOOD😭💙it’s my favorite so I would want anyone to watch it
@@fireruby1882 There are Christians who supports LGBT+ so I find that weird unless it is different for him
@@fireruby1882 I am a Christian conservative, and I freaking love this show! For the record, I did not pick up on the supposed LGBT vibes until I watched other reactors mention it. For me, they were two people who were forced to trust each other during a difficult series of events, which naturally led them to being friends. And that is how I choose to interpret it until it is definitively stated otherwise (though I do agree that is likely where they are going with it). Either way, it does not affect my faith, nor my enjoyment of the show. 😇
@@kevinmalone7167 Just wanted to mention that the reason the majority of people believe they are bisexual/gay, isn't just cause of their ''friendship'' as you see it. Assuming you remember the show since you really enjoyed it, during the scene that they go to a Brothel, where Vi first clearly flirts with her by pushing her against the wall, calling her cupcake and even calling her hot. But, the main thing was the scenes AFTER this.
She asked Caitlyn very casually if she liked men or women, already showing that in this world being LGBT is just normal and casual. Then when Vi later returns after leaving Caitlyn on her own, we see a scene of Caitlyn clearly flirting with a woman in the brothel, giving her flirting eyes and a smile. That already is confirmation that at the least Caitlyn would be bisexual, why else would she be happy with a woman in a Brothel, something that she wasnt even required to do for her job.
Ofcourse it is your personal choice to see them as a couple or as very weirdly intimate friends who give eachother bedroom eyes, BUT I did wanna point out that atleast Caitlyns sexuality has been beyond heavily implied to be atleast Bisexual, and it is a little ridiculous to expect a show to straight up tell you ''She is bisexual''? Just like you would see a movie where you see the male lead flirt with a woman at a bar, you automatically assume he is straight. You don't wait for the show to tell you outloud what their sexuality is and in general assume they must be straight (which is already pretty biphobic to always assume but I digress).
It is just a thing I've noticed with many conservatives including non religious ones do, and don't seem to understand personally. Why is it necessary to get confirmation for a characters heavily implied sexuality in some shows, but always just assumed to be the case when it is about anything heterosexual? You see a man talk to a woman at a bar, assume he is straight without the show saying it out loud and never even think he could be bisexual. But you see a woman flirt with a brothel worker who is a woman, give her bedroom eyes and a smile and not taking her eyes off her, but assume she is straight. It is just a bit hypocritical and odd. Though I'm glad everyone enjoys the show :)
@@yulana990 I would disagree that it is phobic, as that means "afraid" or "fear of". And yes, the majority of people in the world naturally assume straightness because 99% of people in the world are straight. That's not to diminish non-hetero people, it's just how things are.
But to address the specifics of Cait's preferences; I, personally, know women who "flirt" with one another without being bi or gay. They regularly compliment each other on how they look, going even further than calling one another "hot", and outright say they are sexy. This kind of behavior, again from my personal experience, is far more accepted in women than in men. This is why I see them as friends.
That being said, it is also true that the longest lasting romantic relationships start with friendship. Most married couples (and here I am referring to hetero couples) are best friends, which strengthens the romance. I can't speak for non-hetero couples, as that is not my life experience, but I would assume that it is true for them as well.
So, to wrap up, my life experience and worldview causes me to see Vi and Cait as friends until explicitly shown otherwise. This is not phobic, but natural. It is also not a condemnation of non-hetero pairings, either. As long as the characters remain well written and awesome, I don't care what they do in the bedroom.
Honestly surprised you haven't seen this before. I love listening to you go through videos and talking about the edits the way you do. You do it so simply and the flow of the video doesn't get cut because you're taking so much time to talk about it. You've got a good balance of watch, react, response and back.
The video is literally a companion to the series. When you watch the series the editing choices make more sense. Jinx exists in duality with her child self (who goes by Powder fyi). You bring up an interesting point of her seeming to reminisce at the bar and after countless watches of both show and MV I'm wondering if it is actually adult Jinx that is there visually personifying her regression to Powder in that moment. Throughout the video there are flashes between the adult and child. I highly recommend watching the show.
Here's the thing, I'm going to ignore for a moment that Imagine Dragons are definitely sitting in Vander's Last Drop and not Silco's, because the idea that the Powder at the bar is just a regressive projection of future Jinx remembering better times is mind-blowingly amazing and absolutely my permanent head canon from now on.
@@jeffkoenig7402 Here's a bit more ammunition for that head canon. What episode did the Imagine Dragons first appear in? Hint: It wasn't the first act.
@@Dilligff it was episode 5 iirc, between Vi going to the brothel and Vi finding Sevika playing cards
Arcane is peak cinema. It's gorgeously animated with a tight, incredible story, and it's very musical. Definitely worth a watch if you've not seen it yet!
SPOILER ALERT (probably)
In the scene where the two appear together (young and old Jinx) it reminded me of the same issue that the show raises in the last episode, which is the fact that Powder and Jinx are "different people", which is why both in the same scene makes so much sense for me.
YES! same spoiler alert and all, I was kind of mad when he said that he doesn't like them standing together, because he completely missed that Jinx is standing over Powder protectively. They are meant to appear separate that way.
Never noticed this before, and I have watched the song many many times, but if you pause it at 5:32 you will see that for like 0:5s after that bug leaves Powder's mouth she became Jinx, kinda sign saying the bug was her like childhood and innocence and as soon as she lost that she became Jinx, but it happened so fast you can barely see it.
Same thing happens in 7:29 as soon as the beat drops, she transforms into Jinx for like 0:5s
Most of the shots used in this music video actually isn't used in the actual show at all. It's just a sort of teaser to the world and characters in general, to intrigue you about the show, which btw you have to see, it's one of the greatest masterpieces in history.
None of the shots are in the show all the animation is original there is absolutely no reuse
Thanks for reacting to this! I would say that there are definite storyline reasons why young Jinx and older Jinx are often present in the same shot, and I HIGHLY recommend you watch the show to see why! It's incredible!! Not just a phenomenal story and every character nuanced and developed, but it's a glorious artwork of animation and there is SO much told through songs, emotion, and visuals.
Ahhh finally, the legend himself, now reacting to the legendary video of an amazing and by far the best videogame adaptation.
Also btw, you don't need to know a single dap of League to watch the show. So go ahead in blind and just enjoy 👍
I guess everyone has shared that but none of the scene in the music video is there in the show.
But the mv hits a lot more after watching the show. Why there are both jinx in one frame will also make sense.
Just here to say two things:
1-I'd watch a full Arcane reaction from you. If you want to nerd out on the frame by frame animation choices the show will absolutely blow your brain. It's 100% art and masterful character storytelling.
2-The dance therapy makes me smile every time. I love it!
I cant even watch without crying. The show had a big impact on me. I randomly cried yesterday just thinking about it
I just love how most scenes have something to do with synchronizing with the beat
Since you're a video editor yourself, I couldn't recommend this show more. Even without the visuals it's a stunning masterpiece, but for this reason I think you'd appreciate it a lot
So the premise of the music video is Powder (Her name before jinx) and her slow descent into madness. Part of it comes from loss but she is also injected with something called Shimmer which causes her eyes going from the blue to Pink/purple.
It also shows how Vi inadvertently contributed to it.
11:40 - I disagree here, showing the monster she had to become standing over and protecting the traumatized little girl shows an internal split and her madness. The persona of Jinx arose as a defense mechanism, and that's clearly shown in the orbit of the enemies surrounding her.
I really enjoyed this reaction and the insights you shared and you pointed out some things I'd missed in my dozens of times through this music video. It's also fascinating going from like a rapper reaction or a music director reaction to looking at it from an editor's viewpoint. You focused on things no one else had.
12:00 - Hah, you got there. Sorry for jumping the gun.
Yes, also I always thought it's a good way to show her kinda schizophrenic side, being the vicious killing machine and at the same time still a young girl who lost everyone she looked up to.
It has been already a year since Enemy's release and I still get goosebumps everytime I watch to the mv
Same. The beat drop after JID’s rap always gives me the chills
At 5:36 the image is not only getting bigger, it also changed to the older version of jinx ;)
Definitely watch arcane!! You won't regret it both the story and animation is breathtaking, and there are technically like mini music videos in the show too since they made original songs for the soundtrack
I've been literally waiting for this😍
Yesss! So happy you finally reacted to this! Would highly recommend you watch the show too :)
YESSSS I"M SO GLAD YOU REACTED TO THIS!!!! You spot so many cool things that I wouldn't have noticed and just make me appreciate this masterpiece even more.
I'm not a LoL fan either but you don't have to be to watch Arcane. It uses the characters from the game, but the story is so well written and you can go into it not knowing anything about the game at all and still be completely hooked. You said every frame here is an art piece, SO IS THE WHOLE SHOW!! And also, I would really recommend watching schnee's yt channel he does an amazing job of analyzing the show and really showing the effort and depth that they have put into everything.
I'm even more surprised that he hasn't watch since this man looks like he is at least knowledgeable of and at most a fan of the League lore, especially if ylu watch his older League vids.
Your video actually showed me older jinx appearing during the mouth moth part. I've seen this video a hundred times and never caught that. So thank you for letting me experience something new about the video thanks to your breakdown!
Amazing clip Jordan! and amazing song! So well made - both the original musical clip as this react clip! 👏Chapeau!
I love how you don’t miss things in this video 😭💖
This kind of stuff gives me hope and confidence about my future art.
OMG YESS been waiting for your to react to this. highly recommend the show, you'd love it
I really didn’t expect you to react to this mv but the show is really good can’t wait for the next seasons ❤
Was waiting for this 🥲
I would actually love to listen and watch Jordan’s take on the entire first season of Arcane! There’s just so much to it, the artistry, the story telling, the entire production...it would really be interesting to get his take on it all!
YES MORE LEAGUE STUFF I'M HERE FOR IT 🔥️🔥️🔥
A great way to end my birthday is an amazing video from Jordan Orme😌
11:45 Jinx older and younger self together is a great shot in my opinion , symbolising the look out for yourself. "Its like she has an older sister." I think that conveys the writer's emotion correctly.
i think that everything in the video is perfect. For me it shows everything it has to do. you have to whatch it from the side of Jinx's mental state. I think it's genious. ofc you have to know about the character to fully enjoy it
From the rap part onward, one can deduce that the relationship between the two sisters has entered a conflict and showcases the start of the young girl's turmoil within herself.
The rap is a good contrast to the previously mostly calm depiction of life via scenery and music. It signifies the battle ahead with the young girl's psyche, which is unstable. Visually this is shown either by the older version of the young child appearing, colour glitches, split colour, dark and light, scratches or video playbacks.
Wonderful series to watch for all.
JOOOOOORRRDAAAAANNN please please this show is so good. Even if its off screen please give it til episode 3 I promise
after you watch the first season, this whole video becomes raw emotion
I have seen alotta reactors but you're the best Jordan♡
ARCANE IS ART IN EVERY SENSE, IN MUSIC, VIDEO, STORY, ANIMATION AAAH!!!
I have been waiting for this guy to react to all the new videos from League of legends for so long!
YES Jordan! finally u did a reaction to this MV. Please watch the show too! it has a great story surrounding the league characters and awesome animation done for this show.
the song is also the intro song to the show which is an incredible piece of art as well, might wanna take a look at that :3
I love how even what can be considered technically wrong or confusing (I don't know, I'm not a professional at this) also makes perfect sense, considering that the mess in the transitions refers to Jinx's confusion about what she sees, hears or remembers. Also, the rap part appears as ecstasy at the moment where the clip becomes more tense. The more I see about it, the more I realize that everything about this series is brilliant.
So yeah you need to check out Arcane. I know you only react to music videos but i would love to see your reaction to this masterpiece
BEEN WAITIN A YEAR FOR JORDAN TO REACT TO THIS FINALLYYYYYY
I recommended this to my cousin who isn't into anime nor gaming but she definitely loved it, she was even angry that I told her it'd take a few more years or a decade for a sequel 😂. And I don't play LOL myself but the animation and story is 100%, this is one of the mainstreams that lives up to it's hype.
It is definitely a Music video and not a Trailer like we all thought before the show came out. Not one shot is reused, it was all made for the music video and the story of the show and of the video are pretty much night and day
I can only imagine how long it'd take for you to go through the show. It's so good. Fortishe did an amazing job. Would love to see a reaction tho.
I was just browsing Enemy - Imagine Dragons last night and wonder why tou haven’t reacted to it yet and then *BOOM* you uploaded one. What a coincidence 😂
Happy (almost) 1 year Arcane 😭❤️
its funny because these shots are just reanimated rather than taken form the show. which is so creative
You need to understand why the older jinx is standing behind her. Jinx is Powders alter ego, she basically goes totally nuts and Jinx protects powder(inside her mind). Kinda like a split personality disorder. Also it's foreshadowing that transition when she grows up. Jinx is the end product of all of Powders Truma.
It gives uss so much information.
Loved the video
I never noticed this, but at 5:36 when it transitions from jinx to Vi, there’s a split second frame where it switches from young jinx to older jinx. Insane detail from a music video
my bro jordan just take a look at the show and EVERYTHING is gonna come together trust me
Jordaaaan, I noticed that at 5:30, the image isn't the only thing that gets bigger, it's a shot where Jinx is older than she was on the anterior shot, I watched this mv uncountable times, but just noticed it now
YEAASSSS!!!!!! This video is absolutely fire and I’m so glad you explained everything cuz it’s such a gem. The show has made me cry a LOT 🥲🥲it’s amazing
"MANIAC", "CASE 143" and now "ENEMY"... I love the details, I didn't notice. I can appreciate it more now
The art in Arcane is really one of the best i have seen in a long time. and the story is so frikkin good
In the bug scene you can see powder and after that there is a frame where is jinx .. Its cool
One thing about animation is that you can just go HAM with the editing. There are really no limits.
I have watched Arcane three times already. It's a good show to watch and easy to pick up even without much knowledge of LOL.
You need to watch the show asap 🖤
Also if you don't know, this mv has a lot of similarities with the mv: get jinxed, that is algo animated by fortiche, is so so great, I recommend seeing that music video also 🥰🥰
This show is a must watch. Don't need any knowledge about league of legends to understand. amazing storytelling and characters.
and none of the scene from this MV are from the show. this mv animated just for the music video sake
In the beginning of the video where powder had the bug comming out of her mouth it changes to a frame for like a sec to jinx aka the older version of powder
Arcane is true genius film making, definitely worth a watch. Also check out CZcamsr Schnee's breakdowns of characters and themes to get insight into the creative processes.
Also Jinx was known as Powder as a kid, later on she becomes Jinx, so it is almost like two different people ... because reasons.
SO GLAD you reacted to this!! DEFINTEILY watch the show if you want to! Also, did you see Seventeen's new music video??
The reason why you see older Jinx with younger jinx (Powder) on the same shot, is because that’s a really important aspect of the show. Plus another reason why the shots don’t line up is because This is jinx’s delirium, her scattered brain from the past to the present it’s suppose to not make sense.
if you make a reaction video of arcane, i would definitely watch it, the whole series.
the way they mix music with the visuals and the storytelling is just perfect
Tks for all content about League of Legends
I watch Arcane and im a League of Legends player i would say that this is a Peak Animated Series and i love every episode they put its very versatile and creative in this show..
PLEASE MORE LEAGUE REACTIONS JORDAANNN
im not sure if someone else already commented this, but the reason you see young Jinx (Powder) and older Jinx is because older Jinx is a completely different personality that manifested to protect Powder, but ended up remaining in 100% control (or at least that is my interpretation)
Yooo that is in a really cool interpretation and actually makes total sense. Now that you say that I think it is true, because originally powder needed to survive so Jinx began to form but soon enough Jinx took care of everything and powder was not needed or super wanted which is how powder had always felt so she had let Jinx take control....maybe something like that haha
I AM HAPPY YOU REACT TO THIS ONE, THANK YOU 💃
All Riot MVs deserve your reactions videos!!!!
Its hard to imagine what it would be like watching this video without having seen Arcane first. After watching the show, the whole thing is a harbreakingly beautiful bunch of post-Arcane trauma triggers.
this is the 1st time i saw it but the frame before jinx with firefly in her mouth transition it changes her to her older self
jinx and powder are like two face of the same coin
it's kinda logic to see them at the same time in a way
Love you Jordan 😘❣️
I hope to see your reaction to the series. Just from an art and film perspective it's a must watch. No frame is wasted IMO, cept maybe the Netflix intro lol.
11:32 I don't know if somebody already said it but Powder(young Jinx) and Jinx are in the same shot to show that even young she had part of Jinx already in her
Young and adult can almost be consider diferent character but Story/spoiler
I can't BELIEVE you only watched this masterpiece now! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You should try to watch it, it was an amazing show and the best part is you don't have to be a huge league fan to enjoy it!
The show is basically a masterpiece
Little Funfact: Jinx int the Musicvideo to the song "Get Jinxed" from 9 Years ago had the same Clapping Mokey as she has in the opening scene here
Keep up the good work.
Hey Jordan that scene in the crowded room with jinx like behind her younger self. I think what was intended by that is that 'jinx' the older person is actually a different personality so technically a different person to powder the little girl jinx. so technically your not wrong :D love the content
Oh I love imagine dragons their .music is really good 💜
Jordan if u see this plz do something of these scammers
"Every single frame is an art piece"
Fun fact it was meant to be, in fact it was Fortice's goal to make every single frame look like an art piece, which was explained in "Bridging the rift"
(Fortice is a French animation studio that animated almost all of the league of legends stuff, including KDA music videos)
The intro shapes are 4 corners/edges, 3 edges/corners, 2 edges, 1 line. So, you're right that it's a twist to the normal countdown. 🙂
