Ma Meilleure Ennemie - TimeBomb Animatic - Arcane

[@glyyyn451]

Riot really said, we ran out of budget so now we let the fandom use their imagination and creativity to fill the timebomb scrapped scenes teheeee. Wild🙂🔫

YEP, THAT'S EXACLTY WHAT THEY DID. Not a bad move if you ask me, I'm frustrated it works so well TTwTT

[@clanka5509]

I really wish there was more of ekko and jinx after ekko saved her and not just insta cut to fighting or whatever it was felt rushed ngl

[@Pablo_Piotrowski]

we all do... that's why we clicked on this video hahah

[@miaboaler2968]

it was... they had to cut out about 60 mins of the finale due to time restrictions on the episodes

[@757reaper]

We are all waiting for the directors cut

[@shadowone01x99]

We all wanted more but after splashing $250m (easily top 8 most expensive animations ever) for only 18eps was already insane. To make more scenes or eps would have PROBABLY required more cash beyond the already exorbitant budget so they did well with the confines they had without compromising the peak production quality.

[@757reaper]

@ allegedly the promotional stuff and the marketing was included in that price. So I wonder…

[@01031999sweet]

And the fact that we actually learned these two went to Ekko's hideout together and that's where Jinx constructed her new gun through the minigamein LoL, is INSANE! They did us bad...

[@Diamanrouge]

In my opinion, they did us good. I'm greatful we had something rather explicitely telling us they spent time with eachother despite Jinx killing Ekko's people for years. I used the minigame to take some background shots!

@rythmicdyno2955 I do not wish to work on a clean animation for this, I'm sorry. However, feel free to share it to animators who would like to do a shot or two for fun, I WOULD IMPLODE TOO. If anyone wants to launch an animation medley, I would be the first to be hyped! On the other hand, I am working on a fan follow up for those two in form of more animatics. There's a video on the channel that explains it, if you are interested!

[@ak_1aboveall616]

The fact that was 50 mins worth of timebomb content which was scrapped is just criminal . Fuck saving the world i want to see the depressed couple

[@AB-df5mt]

Is that actually confirmed though

[@simplyepic3258]

Please stop parroting this misinformation. They cut the episode down from 60 minutes to 50 minutes. So 10 minutes was cut, and it's not even guaranteed that that 10 minutes was all or even mostly timebomb content.

[@Diamanrouge]

@@simplyepic3258 Thank you. And even tho that were the case, most of us don't even pay for Netflix fullprice, so nobody is robbing anyone.

[@tabemono7398]

@@simplyepic3258 Even with that's you just SEE that's most time lapse are just riot cutting content. Dont forget the script of Arcane was for 5 seasons not two. They need to make 4 seasons in one.

[@Domitaku]

​@@tabemono7398it was always 2 seasons. The rumor about more season exists, because other project seasons in the same universe were approved at the same time.

[@maipandesal]

Awwww, i wish they actually gave us the ekko x jinx moment after saving her! Thank you for this! Its beautiful!

[@Diamanrouge]

Thank you! And, yeah, I wish they did that so I'm not compelled to do this and get the freakin' artbook for chrismas but OH WELL (best marketing ever those beautiful bastards)

[@sivastarlord]

We don't even need that but atleast the cut content is all i wish to be seen as Cannon

[@amifea]

My only hope is that them cutting so much of Ekko and Jinx means we get more of their relationship in (one of) the next series. Maybe Ekko goes looking for her and we get flashbacks to what really happened? I just dont want to believe they would do this to them, Jinx redemption imo was the most important plot point and they left it all up for guessing

[@Blackvez20]

With how popular TimeBomb has gotten dont lose hope brother

[@Diamanrouge]

I'm actually intending to do just that as fan content. A little spinoff series of shorts, exploring just the two of them outside of Zaun, Ekko trying to get her to come back, only for a moment, and her not being ready. If you are at all interested, please go to my other video explaining this and give your feadbacks! I agree with you that it's so important for her to leave. I might argue that it's also very important to Ekko that he stays. It's the whole premice of their relationship. One is fighting out of spite, the other out of hope. Any Ekko story will always be bitterwseet. Anarchist couple for the win guys.

[@firebinder18880]

This is ART. I love the switch between Jinx and Powder through Ekko's POV. His internal conflict is shown well omg. I love everything about this :DDD

And Ekko deserves some love, I know he can get anything and anyone, but this is fire TT-TT Anarchist couple for the win!

[@Black_ghost_cs]

They turned Jinx's house into a balloon and painted on the balloon.❤ 2:00 Jinx allied with the Firelights and her hairstyle became somewhat similar to theirs.💝 she even changed out of her pants and put on black pants. she took off his top. (I think this one was because of what that officer said😅) Green lines can be seen on her body and arm and X's can be seen on Jinx and Ekko's chest.❤ This means that they spend a lot of time together.💚💙 She was also wearing Isha's hoodie. The one that Jinx had the first time she saw Isha(season 2episode 2 music sucker). Isha also used it.

[@d.v.fernandez4123]

Amazing work❤❤

[@johng7003]

I know that many people might disagree with my statement and i know i am biased due to loving this now cannon in way ship, but i kinda strongly believe that during all this time (about a week probaly) where they were in the Firelights hideout, preparing for the battle, gathering support throughtout all Zaun and reforming their bond, they at best kissed each other in the mouth even. They truly cared for each other and Ekko saving Jinx from suicide, plus the concept art book written from her perspective and the lines of her new canon skin in the game prove that. Their bond is really strong both platonically and romantically. At least thats what i believe.

[@WingZeroCustom001]

Very nice indeed. I think you should tweak it so that at the end, ekko appears behind jinx on the ship and is travelling with her on her new destination. Since ekko burns a paper for powder (the powder in the other universe who he’ll never see again) and the ship travelling takes place in the morning a bit later after the burning of the letters scene. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Diamanrouge]

That's a nice idea! But I decided against because Ekko loves Zaun way too much to leave it. I might explore him going after her in hope of bringing her back home in a mini series. Stay tune for that disaster. In the meantime, to me, they read as an anarchist couple who gets on and off when she get on and off Zaun.

[@WingZeroCustom001]

@ this is fair, but a boy can hope 😅 if you do make this mini series I am 100% hear for it!

[@ysixx]

Thank you for this piece of art, you really helped many people heal the trauma that the series left them with, this is beautiful

[@orabijuu8550]

One detail you got wrong is that jinx doesnt get the scribbled lines delusions when she's facing ekko. Only good things are in her head with him. Cool stuff bro

[@SuperKlode]

Thank you so much for this, this is really helping me recover! :D Great work, and very in line with how I would have imagined it could play out. There are other ways as well, but this really takes into account the information we have from "The art of making Arcane", the mini-game "Jinx fixes everything" in LoL and what the creators talked about it paralleling Episode 7 of season 2. So yes, thank you!

[@Diamanrouge]

Thank you, I really appreciate it T-T I'm with you for the healing (TOT) I really tried to include everything. I didn't respect the slap in the face nor the age they would have had in the 'Ekko tries to save Powder and meet Jinx instead' moment, mostly for dramatic effects, and I might change that in the mini-serie I want to make after that. I even used Jinx fixes everything to make background shots! I love making-offs and backdoor not-secret-secrets, and I'm greatful we have so much to dream and play upon!

[@SuperKlode]

@Diamanrouge Agreed 😊 I for one actually appreciate Jinx "kicking"/pushing down Ekko with her foot, it insinuates there is still some slight animosity between them, and also definitely think Jinx is a dominating presence 😏 That aside, I like it, and the whole inner turmoil scene for Jinx later, when I think Ekko confirms the romantic feelings are mutual, but Jinx resurfaces and realizes that may be the death of him, with shadow Mylo mocking her of that fact. And then Ekko reassuring her, with the various outfits/versions of her interposed in his vision, making a call-back to the significance of their relationship in any universe, also insinuating like Jayce, that Ekko may be affected by some anomaly superimposed overlay delusion stupor. Just yeah, the more I think on the details, the more I look forward to your future work. 😁💯💙🤎💜 Edit: PS. Ekko recognizes that Jinx is a symbol of hope for Zaun, so their ideal in that regard very much align, not using her for it, just recognizing and encouraging her.

Damn it. We should have been able to see those scenes. It was such a great video. I've seen comments saying that Riot didn't have enough budget, but I came across information suggesting it was Netflix. Which one is true? They're talking about a cut of between 40 minutes and an hour. Why would a company that made such a big cut even bother? It's strange...

[@Diamanrouge]

Thank you for your compliments. It was not 40 minutes, it was 10. They went from 60 minutes an episode to 50 or less. I don't know if it was for each episode or for the last one only, but it wasn't that much.

[@rdvanyalcn5677]

@Diamanrouge Considering only Ekko and Jinx, a cut up to 10 minutes seems realistic... I don't want to downplay these issues, but 10 minutes doesn't seem like a long time to cut. If this is the case for other parts as well, I didn't feel any cuts at all. Except for the final episode... this is just a feeling. I don't think there's any clear information. They can cut it for 2 hours if they want. I just want to see Ekko and Jinx scenes.😀
