OFF AND RUNNING!~ Arcane 2x01"Heavy Is the Crown"

[@TritopolisD408]

I’m absolutely surprised that not only did Jayce, Mel and Viktor survive, but that not a single trailer, poster or any bit of promotional material spoiled that they were, or even hint at it. I'm proud of them.

[@wtimmins]

That's a brilliant point. yeah.

[@samuelisaacdelacruzaguiler2489]

unless you've played the game and seen Ambesa's interactions and realized she doesn't have any with Jinx

[@TritopolisD408]

First off, I'm so relieved Mel's alive. Secondly, the fact Caitlin was holding it together after her mom's death, until she's alone with Vi is so heartbreaking. And sweet at the same time, showing that Vi is her safe space.

[@not_theghostface9046]

I loved when Vi said "it's hammer time!" and got hammered.

[@ematuskey]

"You are not allowed to take away Viktor!"

[@naruarthur]

just to clarify, at the end it was just one wolf with 2 heads, it is actually in the game as a jungle monster, for those that does not play the game it seems like 2 wolfs, but it just have 2 heads

[@shadowfox3257]

hm i don't know anything about the game, but i immediately saw it as just one wolf with two heads, kinda like cerberus. so not everyone who didn't play the game thinks it was two wolves

[@naruarthur]

@@shadowfox3257 yeah, i just play the game a lot, so it seemed obvious by the design of the wolf, so it is hard for me to know what non-player would think, maybe it is obvious to more people that didn't play the game

[@DoranGale]

I’ve only watched this episode, but yeah, the cut to Ambessa was pretty obvious, and I suspected she was involved when Mel was only smacked in the face with a gun. If targeting her was an option, she’d be dead. The attackers tried to kill everyone else.

[@mertala8520]

You are gonna LOVE episode 3 💀

[@roo1014]

It was quite a surprise that Mel survived, but a welcome one to many

[@alyssaaug8253]

14:50 i think the petals could possibly be a symbolism of caitlyn's grief clouding her judgement but I'm not sure myself

[@markkostecki4558]

Yeah theyre the petals from the funeral

[@toffeefeathers]

I was counting the minutes till we saw how Viktor fared after the explosion, I’m so glad we saw the immediate aftermath and they didn’t tease us with it

[@karolinask_cz]

In the League of Legends universe, which is made up of four "dimensions": 1. Void; 2. Celestial; 3. Spirit realm and 4. Physical in the form of the planet Runeterra, there are no infinity stones. But different types of magic and Rune = Runeterra. At the very beginning there was only the Void and the Watchers, but then the light appeared and a reality emerged that awakened the Watchers and since then they have been trying to destroy it. In reality, the death of Gray man/Pale man, which later becomes Kindred, two aspects of death, Lamb peaceful death and Wolf brutal death, appeared/originated. In the universe = Celestial Realm, the dragon of Twilight as Aurelion Sol created the stars around which the planets were formed. And later on, celestial beings and gods also began to engage in reality manipulation. The celestial gods created constellations that serve as predictions and guidance for people, and with the help of world runes they created the planet Runeterra in one of the regions, they pulled the mountain Targon out of the earth, which serves as the Gateway to the Celestial realm Targon Prime = "Universe". One of the Celestial Gods, for some unknown reason, later hid the world runes across the Runeters, which over time caused magical radiation, thanks to which Spirit Gods such as Anivia, Ornn, Volibear,... which reshaped the surface of the planet by ghosts, demons, and later created magical beings; Sky giants; Yordles = Heimerdinger from Bandle city which is in spirit realm; Vastayashai'rei (Shapeshifting Spirit race) + Humans = Vastaya Spirit Race and Humans and then Animalistic Humanoids races. Later, the Targionians people together with the help of the celestials created a crown for Aurelion Sol, whom they enslaved and thus became forced to listen to orders from the Celestial aspects to seal/destroy the void rifts with their Celestial fire. Over time, it is clear that various types of magic appeared or arose on Runeterra: Celestial, Spiritual, Shadow, Runic, Elemental, Temporal, Necronatic, Blood,... Runeterra is supposed to serve as a place where super powerful beings of Ascended aspects = Celestial demi-gods are to be created by, for example, a person climbs to the top of the mountain Targon and one of the Celestials chooses him as a suitable guest. Or, with the help of the Sun disk, I reflect celestial magic into the chosen people to create Ascended Shuriman golden god warriors where some failed and The Baccai = Ramus were created and others were Ascended sunborn Nasus, Renekton,... And later the fragments of them were created after the Void battle Darkins. All of this is to serve as a defense shield against the Void and its watchers, who are trying to destroy reality by creating Void rifts through which void born creators and monsters can pass and which devour and destroy. Or by controlling and corrupting the minds and bodies of beings on Runeterra.

[@katiemartin487]

Wow, all of this lore is so interesting. I didnt know that there was 4 different dimensions, that’s so cool.

[@karolinask_cz]

@katiemartin487 Void, Spirit realm and Celestial are in many ways connected with physical realm = Runeterra

[@johanstenfelt1206]

The Start of Season 2 Act 1: The Setup, similar to the First Episode of Season 1, we start with solely focusing on one side at first, before expanding.

[@karolinask_cz]

If you watched allready 1 Act episodes 1,2,3 Here I have some note and explaination for Mel surviving. But explaination is even in #Blood sweat and tears cinematic Spoilers and notes . . . . . . . . . . . . Arcane season 2 is great. 1. Singed and two-headed murck wolf from the game. 2. My theory on Leblack and the black rose; 3. Mel and her survival due to the Wolf = Kindred #Cinematic Blood sweat and tears 4. Janna and her legend, believers, statues,... 5. Jinx reflection, loss of finger, burial of Silco 6. Viktor and his transformation and healing thanks to Arcane 7. And I quite like the little children that remind me of Teema. I can't wait for act 2 and 3.

[@matthewpulido7912]

This is just the prologue. The opening act is yet to come.

[@derk0ff342]

The petals may symbolize cait's descent into pure rage driven madness.

[@ErinRush825]

I’m so excited for this reaction

[@DeutschRevolver]

Potential Spoiler Warning for anyone who doesn't know League Of Legends lore ... Mel's wearing armour. I watched a video yesterday and the person pointed out what we all missed about the motif (pattern/design) of what Mel wears, lots of sun shaped gold, it's Solari armour (magic armour from Targon). 3 years since season 1, and I never stopped to think about that. 🤦‍♀️ Btw, if you're interested in League's other well-known sapphic couple, look up who Leona and Diana are.

[@jp3of4]

Morgan: This is not the time to gay panic, this is not the time to gay panic. Me (a la Woody in Toy Story): This is the perfect time to gay panic! 🤣

[@Drake844221]

We're in for a lot of pain this season... I just know it... I am ready to be destroyed XD

[@FandomShipper]

Been enjoying your reactions Morgan as they are quite hard hitting but also fun. I know there are many who like know the low of League of Legends so they likely know where things are going but watching this, I like have no clue so I am on this journey with you and so many others who aren't privy to that lore. Anyway looking forward to your reaction to episode 2 when it goes up.

In the end scene, does anyone else think the wolves could be Kindred? Look I know it's 2 wolves, and Singed is there to do something strange with them, but Lamb has green eyes, Wolf has blue eyes and Warwick can't tell which one is the Wolf in interactions.

[@johanstenfelt1206]

The Start of Season 2 Act 1: The Setup, just like with the First Episode of Season 1, it starts off with focusing solely on one side first, let’s see how everything spirals from here. By the way, i wonder what the recruitment process was for this supposed Special Squad that was formed at the end of this First Episode? What lead into each joining? I mean, two of them is pretty much obvious, but what about the other three? After all, we pretty much just met those Three in the same Episode the Squad was first shown to be formed, so what was the reason for them joining? That they just happened to be part of the battle in this Episode or something else that we didn’t get to see?

The fact that Mel and Jayce didnt get hurt during the explosion really questions what kind of explosion that was The thing literary was at Mel’s back. She should’ve been injured alongside with Jayce. I’m not saying they should’ve died, they’re pretty important during the series, So the fact they didn’t get badly injured makes no sense to me Also, I originally thought that Viktor had an evil side when Jayce wasn’t around and he became Silco, Idk why I always had this off feeling about Viktor at S1. But it doesn’t make any sense to me or there isn’t enough to draw to that conclusion.
