@@Thenormies I think maybe once Arcane is done and played through, there's a bunch of lore videos, character trailers and other animated content Riot has made over the last few years you might want to watch for more taste into the world and story of Runeterra. There's a pretty sizeable backlog of content to go through but I'm sure there's someone out there that could get you a curated list of videos. League of Legends as a game is whatever, but League of Legends as a lore source is holy shit. Riot's artistic teams outside of just game development are damn good, Arcane is just the ultimate culmination of their output.

Not only did Powder's bomb not save the day, but actually caused the death of her family. Imagine the ptsd from an event like that.

Some really great writing here. The monkey had 3 orbs. We saw the destructive path that each of those orbs took in that repeat scene. We see Vi come back in shock from Benzos and still mostly put together. Then see her heart breaking when she sees Powder and can't bring herself to say anything to her. Vi scared the shit out of herself after she strikes the one person she loved most. She needed a moment and no moments were given to her. Beautiful pacing and tension building from a storytelling art perspective. Powder consumed by the thoughts of "never good enough" to help any of the people she has loved her entire life. Little Powder lost her parents in war just a few years ago. Then she goes through life growing up feeling like a burden to the people she loves. She can't help on jobs. She can't help provide for anyone she cares about. Then her sister gives her a vague goodbye and leaves her wondering in her room with Mylo and Clagger in episode 2. Then she gets a small reprieve when her sister comes back only to get bombarded with the information that her basically adopted uncle is dead and her new father is abducted. Has to come to terms with her brothers and sister leaving her behind on what could be the last time she sees any of them alive again all while she's still being hunted by the enforcers in the back of her mind. As this next level trauma starts unfolding and she's at risk to lose the only family she has left, sees another small glimmer of hope weaponizing her monkey. Finally feels like she has contributed once in her life to her family only to realize that she killed her family and has the one remaining source of hope and comfort in her life (Vi) confirm her greatest fears: that she is a jinx that causes nothing but pain, hurt and anguish to the people she cares most about. Then we have Silco's character, this villain made from his environment. A dreamer who believes his end vision justifies his means. Witnesses a sister abandoned by her family and empathizes and offers comfort to her in the way he knows best. Not the one dimensional character the trailers would lead you to believe. Really excited for this weekend when the next three drop. Can't wait to see how these characters develop in this terrible world they're a part of.

The animation is made by Fortiche Studio. This show is their first "big" work, but you could already see that they were great in their previous works. Indeed, they have worked wih Riot for a decade, and of the tons of small videos Riot has made, most of the best ones were with Fortiche: They did "Get Jinxed", "Warriors", "Seconds", "Rise", "KDA Pop/Star" (and of course "Enemy"). BTW, they don't use mocap. Everything is hand animated. Or to be more accurate, there is some mocap for prototyping a scene, and for characters in the background sometimes. But apparently, mocap is bad for the visual style the animators try to achieve. The studio produces in average 0.7 seconds of movie per day of work. They have expanded in recent years (from 20 before partenering with Riot to 40 when the Arcane project started, to 300 now working on Arcane season 2). While they are a french studio from Paris, they have extended a bit and are now also present in spain. Riot has invested in Fortiche in march this year. Finally, while they have already annouced they are working on Arcane season 2, the rise in the number of employee is also due to the facts that they are partenering in other not yet announced projects.

I honestly think Vander had one of the greatest "return to the field" scenes in history. You see him for so little, and only see him use his gauntlets once. But the tension after he breaks from the rubble, knowing at least one kid is alive, and that moment when he walks out with the blades, the chills I got! The absolute fury on his face. Incredible scene and show!

Awesome reaction! I think you're a bit confused about the explosion - the monkey did not explode multiple times (as it would have been destroyed in the first explosion); rather, it blew up once, and the camera went back to that moment several times to show you multiple angles of the explosion.

This is also quite the shocking reveal for League players. The relationship between Vi and Powder (in game name is Jinx) as sisters is only hinted at. No explicit evidence. Only info that was had was that Vi and Jinx/Powder were at two sides of an opposition, and Jinx is one hell of a violence/explosion-loving maniac. A loose cannon if you will, pun intended (since she carries a bazooka in game). So every progression made in this first act is very much a hard-to-swallow pill, despite knowing the end-product. This is quite the spectacle, masterfully made.

Vi and Jinx (powder) were made specifically for this show, it's been in the works for years. Even though it's just a game, there's a whole universe behind it and really great lore tied to each (100+) character. There's clans, cities, and so much more in this world. Zaun and Piltover are a small portion of how vast Runeterra is.

There is a scene showing Powder putting all the "magic bombs" inside the monkey toy, the magic bomb outside was just to create the spark to explode all of them at once. When it exploded, the bombs were launched in many directions, the one that killed Clagger, was launch from the monkey to inside the room and them exploded right above clagger. But the event was one. The scene was just repeating the event to show all perspectives. Even the perspective of a person outside of the conflict, who was the officer who took Vi a little after that.

No spoilers, but for context, we as League players and/or lore readers know the end game for most of the characters like Jayce, Viktor, Violet and Powder but their story was never told to us, it was always context clues, dialog interactions and implied comments and little tid-bits, we know the ending but we never went on the journey

League of Legends lore is just ridiculous, there are so many possibilities that i get chills just thinking about what is coming after Arcane, thats the beginning of LOLCU (like MCU, but bigger and maybe better)

@Dead25m2 жыл бұрын
Maybe bigger*, MCU can get pretty darn big, actually far bigger than LOLCU could, if you go by what lore they have to choose from. Actually nevermind, LOLCU don't have the growth potential compared to the MCU. Not defending the MCU per say, just saying that they have faaaar more characters to build from, LOLCU would need to keep introducing new characters over and over.
@pontusolin87712 жыл бұрын
Bigger than MCU, you must be joking? The lore behind the MCU is a million times bigger and deeper than LOL. Although I do like the potential of a LOLCU, it's a cool world.

powder's reaction reminds me of kazutora's from tokyo revengers. they tried doing something good for someone they loved but it backfired and they ended up causing more pain for them. in their heads they dont know who to blame. if they blame themselves, the guilt would be too much for them to bear. so through a lot of twisted thinking they end up blaming their loved ones for not understanding that they were just trying to help.

30:47 remember the first episode! there were 6 hextech crystals in the chest in jayces lab. powder took em all and lost 1 on the way out. that makes still 5 crystals. 3 were in her posession before she went to "help". so there must be 2 more of those crystals! she may hid them somewhere or she put them in the bag that she threw into the water! so maybe they will retrieve the bag after all and silco may get an even more powerful weapon or powder uses them when shes older to forge weapons.
