Arcane Episode 2 Reaction

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks to everyone that watched the premiere with us! And appreciate the feedback on episodes and really love that everyone wants longer vids! We will continue to evolve as we get more comfortable and familiar with this type of format for reaction videos. You all are the best! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@jackspratt7264]

I'm super confused. Everyone that watches this show, after seeing that Powder is a skilled shooter in a parlor game, says "why don't they use her skills"? What show are you watching and what is going through your heads? The girl is 9 YEARS OLD and they're petty thieves, that get mixed up in some fist fights now and again. And you want to put a GUN in her hands?! So, you want her to start shooting people? I thought as a society we don't like kids killing people with guns. So, in all earnestness... what are you suggesting exactly?!

[@carbuneskinny5797]

Yep ..the longer vids the better :D some reactors put that 10min fairuse timer to help with cuts .. i dunno all the ins and outs tho` ...keep it up !!!

"It's interesting that they deal out their justice in the dark." Damn, that's a deep read right off the bat. Somewhat of a theme for the Council of Piltover in this show.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks! 😊

[@kaizen5023]

6:28 - "It's interesting that they deal out their justice in the dark." OMG, brilliant observation, I never put that together before!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks! 🤗 The show is so good with little details like that 😀

[@3Kings_Industries]

So ready for your reaction to this whole series. It is just ... a game changer.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

It really is. Shows Hollywood that shows about games can appeal to a wide audience as long as it has its own independent strouds and doesn’t follow a gaming story. Really hope this leads to Overwatch series 😁

[@samecclesia7553]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Unfortunately, Blizzard seem intent on destroying everything they have. World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, etc. All of these could have been amazing but I really doubt they can achieve it currently. Riot are stepping into Blizzards shoes and Blizzard are fading away. I like Riot but I think it's sad as I enjoy the old Blizzard games.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

@@samecclesia7553 Blizzard should definitely take notes from Riot at how they do things and diversify their content so well. Hopefully this controversy will be a step in the right direction for Blizzard. Get out the bad people at the company. Start over. They will either be a phoenix and rise from the ashes, or....it'll just all come crumbling down

[@ilikereason]

Indeed. The entire series. Especially episodes 3,6,7,9. It looks like they watched, and recorded their reaction, to episodes 1, 2, and 3 all in the same sitting. This is smart. It is best to watch each act in the same sitting. 3 episodes per act. 👍

[@boomerman668]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 overwatch probably wont but apparently there is an apex legends TV series in the works

[@davidhernando353]

I think the greatest strength of Arcane is how it manages to condense a huge amount of detail and information in such a short time. It is a series of 9 episodes but it feels longer because of how extremely well they use the time. They do not need long explanations because they take advantage of the visual medium tremendously well to explain and contextualize lots of things without the need for any dialogue. And of course the animation is excellent. In my opinion the series gets better with each episode. It was the biggest surprise of last year for me, one of the best series of that year and I am looking forward to its second season.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Pleasant surprise indeed 😀

[@Aceries_]

I recommend checking out the therapist reacts series after you finish this season. She brings up a lot of things you two brought up, like Vi's similarity to Vander when it comes to problem solving.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Bethany would’ve made a great therapist ☺️ Thanks for channel rec 😀

[@Mafer.Vz89]

This episode could be seen as the weakest of the first act because of the lack of fights or awesome action scenes, but without it a lot of things wouldn't make sense and it's such a beautiful build up for what's coming.... Can't wait to see your reaction of ep 3

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Not every episode can be a hard hitting one. Definitely need the setup episodes 🙂

[@minhhapham7549]

what was sad about this is if the Undercity was not so poor and lack of care by the government, the children weren't so malnourished, dirty and having no education or healthcare, barely surviving day by day, all of this wouldn't had happened. If the Piltover people didnt use extreme violence and then leave the Undercity by themselves again (like beating up a poor person who asked for food), this would never happened to those kids. The people from Upper city knows barely anything down there but want to control them like some kind of animal in a cage is what makes me concerned, sad and angry and showed how the series executed this so good but not too deep, but the whole message was still there.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

True. It wasn’t hit you over the head with it type of messaging but it stills all obviously there and it’s a good message about compassion, empathy and the feeling of being forgotten and overlooked 🥲

[@Shythalia]

Yeah, hits too close to home.

[@josuecscruz7528]

FINALLYYYYY!!! I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TWO TO REACT TO ARCANE

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

We are getting our footing on the reactions and length and what not. Our post discussions get longer and some vids we have to keep longer as well because there is a lot to fit in 😅

[@necrolicious]

1:44 no concrete answer yet, but this person is rumored to be young Ryze. 4:59 I wonder if you'll notice this puzzle box later. It's funny when Mel gives him this puzzle box she says "I'm told it was built only for the sharpest minds" but when time jumps forward 10 years he still has it with him and hasn't solved it yet. 5:51 again nothing concrete yet, but this may be a flashback to when Ryze gave in to power and destroyed a city. I didn't realize part of the episode is missing, hm.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah we did notice that the guy still had the box 😂

[@vergil8833]

I think the crystal the wizard used is a mana crystal, so just like how you spend mana in game to cast spells, he spent a mana crystal to telebort Jayce and his mother out of the Freljord (ice viking place) and into a region closer to Piltover, which is located at the neck of where the two continents meet.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

You are talking in terms we understand now. 😁

[@nathaniel7103]

I just wanna let you guys know that in terms of music the only song that you'd probably be at risk at for showing is the Imagine Dragons song, but other than that it's all produced by Riot and they won't strike your channel for using scenes with their music in it. Just so you'd know in the future because some really amazing scenes are further propelled by the music in later episodes :)

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Appreciate you letting us know. We know for sure the Imagine Dragons song has strong copyright protection on it (allowed to show, just not allowed to monetize the video) but it's good to know the rest of the stuff is created by Riot. 🙂

[@adowens0004]

7 people waiting for this reaction that premieres in 17 hours. I just might make it 8.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

☺️😎🤟🍾🥂

[@Arkayjiya]

"why did they get her in the hardest hiding spot" most likely because they have a designated hiding spot so that they can hide faster and Ekko being there threw a wrench in the whole thing. If it hadn't been her, it would have been Ekko which isn't really better.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

But shouldn't they have designated her hiding spot to be easier? Vi is stronger, so she should've been designated the spot that requires strength hold you up, meanwhile she was just chilling off to the side. 🤗

[@Arkayjiya]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Her normal hiding spot is where Ekko is. The spot she is in is no one designated spot because they're usually 4 of them, not 5 as Ekko doesn't live here.

you have a dog right there ? :O. ty for react to arcane :). arcane and death stranding make me very very emotional on 2021.

[@rekoom95]

thanks for the video again :) may I sugest someting for your editing? I think it can be cool to have the cliffanger in it. I already found the cut kinda harsh on the first one. if it's already edited don't bother it's still good as it is.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Appreciate the feedback! We do have next episode edited already. I believe in this one we worried about the music in the end of it. Music usually gets copyright claims on it so we just errored on side of safety as we navigate this new format 😊🤗

[@rekoom95]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 I see, it makes sense. Thanks for this answer, I'll definitely not blame you for editing this way if there is some copyright issues. I'm still so happy to hear you guys thoughts. Keep up the good work :)

God I love this show. I've watched it two full runs just by myself and have watched several people do their own reactions to it, and I'm so happy to get to see you guys check it out! :) I know at this point you've seen at least a few episodes of the show, just releasing the videos over time. Have you finished the series at this point, or are you just taking a group of episodes each time? Either way, I won't talk about anything beyond the currently-released episodes, I'm just curious. :)

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

We saw it all before releasing these. Didn’t want any accidental spoilers and also didn’t want comments to affect our reactions to these. Like if people said an emotional episode was coming up, we didn’t want to expect to get sad (if that makes sense) 🤗

[@conban12TK]

The show is so realistic, especially in how the characters act. I just wish we would have learned more about the Rune Wars from Heimerdinger than we already knew.

What? YOu cut the last part? BTW, apparently Riot games has given permission for fair use of their songs in Arcane, except the Imagine Dragons opening song. The episodes ends are the best for the reactions.

[@alicea3421]

The current TFT season is Arcane themed, which is really fun. They also added a duo mode (which is only in beta at the moment and being removed soon to change it) Where you work together with your partner. Apparently Silco is being added in the mid-set, around a month from now, which is the first time a non-champion has been included in TFT. It's probably my favorite season, getting Vi, Jinx sometimes Ekko, Jayce and Viktor all on one team is great. Unfortunately Heimerdinger rarely fits in but he gets his own team of Yordles and can hang out with Jayce sometimes LoR also got an Arcane themed expansion I believe. Which I think also had a single player mode to it. I assume this is what/why you considered trying it out! As much as I enjoyed LoR, I prefer the even playing field of TFT and playing with friends. Plus it has a fast gamemode called "hyper roll" which I've never tried but it's a much shorter match, thus easier to get into. And yes I'm totally trying to convince you to give TFT a go! :)
