      @jaginaiaelectrizs6341 Před 2 lety +16

      I think that they definitely left it open to either interpretation, or even a little bit of both things all in one, and yet didn't outright tell you for sure either way. They may or may not clarify it later on, or they might just leave it open to interpretation; we shall see. ^-^
      _(to clarify, I would say the editing in that moment of flashing to the flashback and Vander's body and everything in that moment[ and the way his eyes react/widen at first], certainly suggested that he might be identifying a bit with Powder in that moment, but right as he closes his arms around her before the scene's end his eyes actually do a different thing that doesn't exactly look like sympathy anymore and looks a lot more like he's just scheming to use her, so I don't really blame anyone who read slightly more of either one interpretation into that scene than they read of the other interpretation into it; It makes sense, to me, that it's a scene that's going to hit differently for different viewers - and, personally, I think that may have actually been intentional.)_

    While watching Arcane I felt the same as when I watched Spiderverse, like this is something that breaks the game by a lot (talking about animated series in this case, not movies).
    They translated the art style of their game's splash arts into an animated series and it's so freaking awesome how they made it look so good and smooth. We are used to top-level animations coming from Riot but this was way better than I could ever expect. I have seen the scene when Powder grabs the sandwich during the heist like 20 times, it's super dope how they interact with objects that at first sight you would think are only a hand-drawn background.

      I'm not sure about that. As someone that doesn't play or follow the game in any way at all, I heard and knew nothing about it until this video. And now having watched it, I can safely say there are millions more people out there like me that would love it. Hopefully all the good reviews will lead them to it.

    TBSkyen put it well in his coverage of the first three episodes. About how the show Wields it’s tropes and cliches to fast-track the plot. The story has a breakneck pace because they could shortcut character moments and rely on character-driven animation to sell you on who the people onscreen are.

    As a league fan already, I knew they would do a good job with the show going in, but I was still blown away at the polish and care that went into everything here. It really shows that video game based movies or TV shows can be as good as any others when you don't make them cheap cash grabs.

  • @zenmindgamer

    Now that the next three episodes are out I think it's safe to say thia team is nailing their artistic integrity with consistency. Which is great, because I can't stop myself from playing these episodes in repeat.
    The art portrayal is so mesmerizing, there's nothing like it that I'm aware of and I can't get enough of watching the scenes. On top of that the story is being fantastically told with such a varied cast that there's guaranteed a character for everybody to root for.
    There's absolutely rewarding tidbits for those into the Lol lore, too, which I enjoyed as I casually played the game. I find myself resonating so much with Viktor, which is stellar because his character bio is hands-down my favorite and seeing his origin is a dream.
    I hope to see more works done like this.

    I love how the kids are portrayed that the ending just broke me to pieces. Powder wanted validation so badly she didn't consider her actions. She probably overloaded "that thing" out of sheer desperation for it to work, forgetting earlier events. And Vi remembering Vander's words in EP 1 when she looked at her hand... small things like that make it all the more poignant. Cliche, sure, but the delivery and execution are perfect.
    Great review! And thanks to this, I found your channel! Happy to be here and am looking forward to more of your content!

  • @miguelassuncaomartins4215

    It's amazing how they pulled off this show knowing full well there were two types of audience : Those who already know who the characters are or are going to become and those who didn't and still manage to appease the two factions. It was obvious from the start powder was Jinx for me, who's a long time LoL player and Jynx lover, but that didn't detract from the story. It worked for me the same way The Social Network did. You know how it ends (sort of), but you're still pulled in for the ride. And Oh my God, what a ride! That scene of Powder coming to say she helped, broke my heart.

    p.s. I would love to see the Mistborn series realized in this animation style rather than live action. This animation style fits my head cannon perfectly for Mistborn, just me maybe, but the stylized steam punk arcane industrial revolution setting just rang my bell!

I don't know what to call them all, but so many characters are already being noted and setup from the LoL universe. I already freaking love setups (going all the way back to Iron Man when Tony is asked about the Avengers Initiative and seeing that pay off in 2012 Avengers) and having so many characters be put into this cinematic rollercoaster... it's just sooooo satisfying to me.
