I love this series 😭♥️

[@Shythalia]

YT keeps auto-deleting my reply. I don't know why. All I wanted was to inform you of a little something and it doesn't even have any bad words in it. :/ Man, I hate this site.

[@Shythalia]

I'll try commenting it in a very stupid way. Since someone else has already mentioned it, the behind-the-scenes documentary Riot Games made for this is called Arcane: Bridging The Rift.

[@Shythalia]

It has 5 episodes and is on the official League Of Legends YT channel.

[@Shythalia]

Ok, I see. So, YT doesn't like it when I comment something like "check that out if you're interested". Wow. -_-

[@treystaton282]

They made a great story without having to rely on game knowledge, that is why this succeeds where others fail!

[@MegaMilenche]

I just wish they didn't ugly up Caitlyn.

[@thorneto2742]

What video game series requires game knowledge that you are thinking of?

[@Ragingknight12]

That and it's from the people who actually made the game series who made it. Unlike others who are made by people who have never played the game and change it into a different story than that of the game/world/lore

[@zodiark93]

They were able to do so because they literally retconned and wrecked entire parts of the game's lore. Take for example those hextech crystals. Based on the game's lore, they come from the fossilized (but still alive) bodies of an ancient crystal scorpions' race (Skarner's race, from League of Legends). This detail is totally absent in Arcane, and it's a pity, because it would be soo beautiful to see Piltover discover those crystals' origin and being occupied in a war against Skarner's race. We even have Seraphine (another League of Legends character), a stupid and capitalist idol who discover that origin, but still she choose to go on using those crystals and killing that race, just to be able to use her inventions to sing. All those possible plot options, totally deleted from the story.

[@Shane24597]

​@@zodiark93 I wouldn't say they were deleted. Just not shown. Just cause it wasn't shown doesn't mean it was retconned. That being said, Vi's backstory was clearly retconned if you look up her game lore so they were still fine with retcons.

[@gpaje]

I love the celebration of fathers of this show. You have 4 father figures who span the spectrum of good and not so good, but they all love their daughters.

[@rataflechera]

I'd count four: Vander, Mr. Kiramman, Marcus, and Silco. Although Mr. Kiramman has less screen time and he is overshadowed by Counselor Kiramman there is an evident contrast in how Caitlyn relates to reach of her parents.

[@Scarletraven87]

Vader, Silco, Cait's .... ooooh Marcus!

[@gigachad3925]

You guys talk about how Marcus “begrudgingly” accepts Jayce’s orders, but in reality, it’s implied that Marcus manipulates Jayce to make him give that order. Think about it; Marcus first brings up the mandatory search idea, and if you look carefully at his facial expressions during the scene, it’s clear that he has intent in what’s going on. It’s implied that since Silco tells him that Vi and Caitlin “cannot be allowed to resurface”, Marcus uses searching for the gemstone as an excuse to catch them once they re-enter the city.

[@alexianigollarza3583]

Silco and the rest honestly thought Vi was dead, that's why the surprise from him. Also, Silco and Jinx have a real father to daughter relationship like for real, keep that in mind for the rest of the episodes. And I had a megawat smile in my face in the scene with the song and imagine dragons (I loooooove that scene) and please DO NOT see the music video until after you finish all the episodes. I agree with you, the fight scenes and animation here are incredibly perfect and they KEEP GETTING BETTER!! so prepare yourselves.

[@athena8335]

Agree,but I like do add something about the Silco and Jinx relationship. What happens if two psychological fu*ked up persons enter a relationship of any kind? At least in this case,they become co-dependet. There is love between them,but that doesn't make the relationship healthy. I say that,bc many say,that Silco is a great dad(bc of a specific line later on),which IS NOT the case. He's a loving dad,but not a good one.

[@marslara]

​@@athena8335For sure, their relationship is no where near healthy but he does actually care about her not just what she can offer him.

[@jenk4545]

​@athena8335 I think Silco is the best dad he can be, given his circumstances. He probably didn't mean to get attached to Jinx. He probably planned to train her and use her, but he didn't count on loving her. And Jinx probably wasn't an easy child to raise. They've both got serious issues and neither of them are healthy, but they're doing their best with what they've got, which is why they're both ultimately such tragic characters. They've both had to fight and claw for everything they have, and the only way they know how to love each other is possessively and unhealthily.

[@alexianigollarza3583]

@@athena8335 exactly! This was my struggle when I first watched it.

[@heavycritic9554]

1:16:12 That "Are you real?" is so heartbreaking! I always seek out the sequence starting with Jinx lighting the torch, whenever I watch a reaction that includes episode 6. The whole thing is so ridiculously powerful to watch.

[@chipstarshine8150]

Yeah! It’s a powerful like when you realize that she can’t trust what she sees as she has hallucinated seeing Vi so many times in the past that she questions of what she’s seeing is actually real. It’s when Vi touches powder that she starts to understand that it is in fact Violet in front of her.

[@christomlinson3074]

The one thing that I've seen a bunch of reactors miss is that in Happy Progress Day we see how everyone has moved on, but then at the very end we find Vi. Unlike all the other characters who have been able to move on with life, she has been stuck in the same spot for all the years. Marcus threw her into prison and even hid it from Silco. Vi is the one character who wasn't able to progress like the rest of Piltover and the Undercity.

[@AznE1337]

Fun fact: The voice actor of Pim, the nervous guy that Caitlyn talks to in the brothel, is the same voice actor as Silco.

[@Lannisen]

And the vendor in the under underworld that sells shimmer to Cait is the same as Sevika.

[@RenegadeSamurai]

[@lykoiy]

Jason Spisak my beloved

[@aspieanarchist5439]

He was also Joker in "Batman:Hush" and Wally West/Kid Flash in "Young Justice." Jason Spisak`s basically the Sean Bean of animation. You fall in love with his characters because of how charismatic the dude is no matter whether he is a hero, villain or something in between, then they are almost always killed off.

Anytime someone brings up Jinx’s past, it’s a trigger for her. But Silco not only loves and cares for her, as seen multiple times in their interactions, but he’s that calming voice that knows what to say when she’s having a panic attack.

[@alexroth882]

You didn’t really talk about it but In case you didn’t notice; we got kinda reintroduced to 3 characters. The man in vikktor’s backstory is the same man that worked with Silco for the first 3 episodes doing the experiments with shimmer. He got caught in powder’s explosion in episode 3 but revealed here is that he survived but is badly burned (in the scene where Vikktor says “I understand now”. The guy who’s all messed up in the deep undercity that helped Caitlin is Huck, the guy that Vander helped in the first episode who was trying to do a trade deal. Finally, we have Sky whose name we hear in vikktor’s flashback (the girl on the rock). We later hear her name again from Jayce referring to the female assistant working with the boys (so it’s likely she’s known/cared about Vikktor for a long time). GreaT reaction as always! Can’t wait for the last section of episodes!

[@fir3gaming664]

Can't upvote this comment enough, important information it seemed you guys missed

I thought they'd at least catch on that it was the survival of the "mutation" that led to the production of shimmer.

[@attaxolotl]

@@jynxce ive watched arcane 3 times and didnt realize that until now lol

[@jorgmintel3060]

Also the bartender that Jinx pranked is likely the boy that chased Powder in the first episode and made her drop the loot into the water; he has the same facial features.

[@anonymouszebra1239]

[@nalu3430]

56:14 hello, animator here to answer your question! there is actually no motion capture in the final product, but as Oak said, this fights look coordinated as in in real life, cause they actually are. The process goes like this: The fight is coordinated and filmed in real life, i believe sometimes they used mo-cap, sometimes they just used the videos, but both as REFERENCE ONLY for doing the actual animation on top of that. They also did the same thing for facial expressions, they recorded the actors and used their faces as reference to do the animation.

[@BaddMedicine]

🤜🤛

[@craigchalloner153]

The visual depiction of Powder's mental state is stunning; beautifully tragic. Seeing her haunted visions as hand-drawn overlays is such an effective touch and kudos should go to the director and art-design team for their work. This show is an oil painting come to life.

[@jrlombardi5251]

It was confirmed by a creator the time skip was of 6-7 years, that would make Powder/Jinx be 17-19 right now. Jayce is 30-31 and Vi and Caitlyn are in their very early 20s.

[@hh-dm6cp]

Don’t know if you guys caught it, but the guy in the Viktor flashback was the same guy who was helping Silco develop the shimmer in eps 1-3. That’s why his face is all singed now after the explosion in ep 3.

[@fir3gaming664]

About the Crows: There is another character called Swain in League of Legends, the universe Arcane is based in, who is a master tactician for another of the territories, and he can use and see through the eyes of Crows to gain knowledge of whats happening all over the world. That is why you regularly notice Crows around every important scene in Arcane.

[@wjhull]

Maybe. In most of the art, Swain's crows are mutated (with extra eyes), so if they're sticking to the canon design then these are just birds. That said, Noxus is basically the only other region they acknowledge in this series, so it's possible that they've written out the unique look of his ravens so that they didn't end up with a WTF aspect that they weren't planning on explaining this season.

[@rapidtrap787]

bigger controller of crows fiddlesticks

[@Kasia120612]

Honestly, crows in media tend to just represent death/loss/being a bad omen. The reason why they are seen around important scenes is they have that common theme with Jinx lol Swain uses Ravens, not Crows.

[@luanlinhares1707]

Nah man,its a play with her. Jinx was close eith ekko,similar age and both were kinda cowards and admired vi,in the end jinx became a phycho and ekko a savior. Ekko founded the firelights and there is a scene of little powder vomiting a firelight,that means she lost her chance to be a savior. And in the end she sat on the crow chair(the jinx chair) meaning she is no way near a savior,she is a killer

[@barkleyadventures6625]

One of my favourite moments in episode 6 is when Jinx says "are you real?". It's so heartbreaking because Jinx sees and hears Vi in her mind all the time. And the scribbles around Jinx when she's experiencing PTSD? The ways they show Jinx's mental health struggles is brilliant and sad.

[@swiftlymurmurs]

Another fun little easter egg: The musician at the concert is modeled after Ray Chen, a very prominent violinist who appears on a few tracks on the soundtrack, including the one playing in that scene!

[@maddiesiegmund5623]

Viktor became my favorite character on my second watch ^_^ he only gets like 12 minutes of screen time through the whole series. This show is SO economical and incredible with its story telling. So much can get conveyed in any 30 second scene you analyze. There really isn't anything like it.

[@justfresh179]

What also notable is Jinx made a very rough version of what Jayce had out of SCRAPS. And on her first try at that. If that doesn’t speak to her intellect and knowledge idk what does.

[@joshuafischer684]

I think Riot has said that Jinx is the smartest person in the game. It's unclear if that translates over into the show (being THE smartest person alive), but she's clearly brilliant.

[@jdksdj11]

@@joshuafischer684 I'm not sure if they said it, but I think she's not the smartest person in the game.

"I'm the monster you created" and "get jinxed" are two music videos you should definitely watch once you are through with Arcane.

[@thewingedone1172]

The monster is just soundtrack. Get jinxed is great though

[@rromano158]

Rumor is that it's been about a 7-year time lapse between episode 3 and 4. I think that Jayce and Viktor are a little too naive to believe they have created just "tools" and not weapons. In the cave scene with young Viktor, the adult person is named Singed, and is the doctor who was with Silco on the first episode. The creature that he has "cultivated" is seen later in a vat when older Viktor comes back to the cave. The creature is what Singed creates the shimmer from and is continually refining the "drug". It is very addictive, but in very tiny doses can also be used for medical purposes. The scruffy guy who takes Caitlyn to get the "medicine" for Vi is the same person (Huck) who was in the bar during the scene in episode 1 when Vander intervenes with his "negotiations". In reference to Cait trading her rifle for the "medicine", I think that it makes a similarity of trading something that can take a life for something that can give life.

I still cannot emphasize enough how happy I am that you are reacting to this by full Acts and not each individual Episode. Cannot wait for the last part!

[@LockeNarshe]

One of my favorite shots in the entire series is at 33:04 when you can see a perspective shot of Marcus trapped in a "box". More than anything, it's reinvigorating just how subtle--yet clearly intentional--many of the smaller details are in this show. In an era of entertainment that's often stifled by safe, by-the-numbers productions, I love how Arcane reinforces and recontextualizes what we should be expecting from industry creatives in other media. It doesn't tell you 'how' to feel, but gives you the reality of the conflict and allows you to form your own thoughts. It's tight, lacking the necessity for filler. Arcane stands on its merits and deserves all the praise it gets, but it also saddens me a little that it takes something so head-and-shoulders above the rest of the industry to get their competitors to wake up and re-examine what their medium should strive to be like. EDIT: The fight choreography is clearly outstanding. Though I think beyond the animation and attention-to-detail, it's due in part to their willingness to let the scene breathe and create tension. There are genres where breakneck speed in fights can be exhilarating, but having the patience to let a fight be more than the protagonist just crumpling their opponents like paper in the typical "rule of cool" fashion allows for the opportunity to see the conflict evolve in real time.

[@amrosoronar1853]

No MoCap. Pure animation. That is how good this show is.

[@cinn5611]

I like the way the characters are written because they all have their own flaws and shortcomings and hopes and dreams and strengths. They feel very human, which isn't always the case, especially in animated shows.

Powder didnt wanna go fight people. She didnt want to feel useless. The fact that it revolved around fighting is just cuz THATS what she was left out of. Remember in episode 1 when they faught Dekkard and hia goons. Poweder didnt really dance with joy being caught up in that, she ran away, terrified. She has separation anxiety and a massove infernority complex. Not blood lust.

[@Torthrodhel]

You know that people aren't just their disabilities, right? You can be bloodthirsty AND disturbed. I can't think of a single unselfish decision this character has taken in the entire show. She was always like this, it just took her this long and some encouragement and means to really show it. The very last thing she requires is yet more undue sympathy.

[@lilscenechick1995]

I disagree...We see that Jinx killed the bird for absolutely no reason. She even looked at it and thought about her actions, as it clearly meant her no harm. Which demonstrated that a) she has little to no regard/respect for life, or b) she likes killing. Neither of which are mutually exclusive.

[@jordanrayne4779]

​@@lilscenechick1995yes but I think op was talking about *Powder* not *Jinx* because despite being the same person, they are not the same. Powder wasn't blood thirsty or eager to fight constantly, Jinx is. Someone once said "Powder would be absolutely terrified of Jinx"

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

@@jordanrayne4779 Yes, that IS what I meant. But alos, this transfers over to Jinx. Jinx isnt bloodthirsty either, she is ruthless and violent but shes not killing poeple cuz she enjoys watching the light fade from their eyes. That would be bloodlust. She just doesnt have a moral compass outside her own emotion. Bloodthirst is called bloodthirst cuz thats literally what it means, thirsting for blood. Do anyone of you think that fits Jinx in this show? If you do I think youve fundamentally misunderstood Jinx as a character The reason she can kill the crow for no reason is not cuz she has a thirst for blood, she killed in on a whim, she didnt linger on it, she didnt revel in it. cuz it doesnt matter to her, life as a concept has no value in her mind. Like kids burning ants with a magnifying glass, generally speaking, are not doing it to satisfy some sadistic need to kill, its just that you, as a kid, dont think of ants as living beings in that way and youre just fascinated that you can burn them with the magnifyer. Powder and Jinx are both *_constantly_* trying to prove themselves, to fit in, to not be ueless, his is their only fundamental drive The fact that Jinx is a violent sociopath just affects the way this need for belonging manifests itself, the need to be accepted is still the driving force behind everything she does.

If you rewatch the speech Silco shares with Deckard about monsters, he's foreshadowing his feelings about Jinx's problem.

Oooh yeah! They have the same voice actor so I wonder if it was on purpose 🤔

[@jasonstamwitz6928]

I can only hit the like button once! Been great reliving this show with you guys. Thank you for posting!

[@choppA_getudA]

Silco is just so casually menacing whenever he threatens people, it's great.

[@FamiAoi]

I love watching you guys. You're so wholesome and have so much heart.

[@chadbailey7038]

Oh man, what an arc! I’m loving this journey with you guys 🙌🏾 ⚡️

[@rakansasas1111]

15:43 It is great that you mention that, as Jinx, in spite of her Harley Quinn aesthetic, in regards of her personality, was originally designed to be a Joker type of character with a bit of Gollum from TLOTR.

[@iateabagelonce]

I loved this reaction, but oh man, calling Viktor Jayce's "assistant" with absolutely NO irony 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

[@demyanrudenko]

1:13:30 will always bring tears to my eyes. She never wanted any of this.

[@markwilliams125]

The 5 part documentary series on the making of arcane is amazing. Would love a reaction. A great view into amazing artists at work

[@FoxBatinaHat]

Cards: Death, Magician - relevant to Viktor. Who is trying to 'Cheat death'. This series is a mastercraft of animation storytelling and cinematography mastery.

[@TheBambi2]

I love how you all screaming no when the credits roll. Awesome reactions keep it coming 😊😊

[@vivacious_me]

Woohoo, just in time! Loving your reactions to this masterpiece of a show ❤

[@Theonionofthedisneyjuniorlore]

00:01 I don’t know why but the fact that he nearly broke makes me laugh

[@PickledShark]

Such a great scene at the end there. It’s torturous though how close they came to reconciliation. If Caitlin hadn’t come up the steps, and if the Firelights didn’t attack, things might have been different. And there are a hundred points in this show where you see how things might have been different if only luck or choices had gone slightly differently. This show is a case study in great storytelling

[@TriXJester]

55:56 The answer to this question can be found in the series of videos Bridging the Rift that was released after the show that goes into all the behind the scenes information and production of the show. I highly recommend watching them as it provides much more perspective on the show and you can gain a much deeper appreciation for the time and effort it took to make it.

[@John_Raiyder]

Ah yes Episode 5... Where Jayce is coming while Viktor seems to be going...good Times

[@Lily-zk1ic]

LMAOOO

[@MegaMilenche]

[@carlosbermudez537]

Zero Mo Cap! ….zero. Arcane is an absolute masterpiece from every angle of production.

[@crystalfire5564]

I always tear up the second Powder lights the torch. (I think she is Powder in that moment, not Jinx) She is hopeful but still carrying the weight of her trauma (shown with the boys on her back). Each time I watch I want it to go better even though I know it isn’t going to change. I guess I am hopeful as well.

[@ellencoleman4604]

They're the same person really. Jinx just wants to pretend she doesn't have a choice so she can justify her cruel actions / not break from the guilt of her mistakes. She was always both.

[@mechtime]

"Lighter mode episode". Oh yeah. Jinx: "That's meee!"

[@USful]

Fun Fact: Pim is the same voice actor as Silco

[@KingApeiron]

That action piece in Ep6 is so good with how chaotic it is. We get to see Vi and Jinx fighting back to back but the Firelights mess everything up and leave Jinx alone AGAIN 😭

[@Shroudedentity]

Recently stumbled upon you guys, watched your entire harry potter series in like.. a day.. been looking forward to this one in particular. Love ARCANE. Keep on!

[@FigipeGames]

I WANT THE LAST 3 (i ahve wathed arcane like 7 times now, i need help)

[@danielsmari90]

Thanks for the content! You guys sure would love the Peaky Blinders. Ready willing and able to watch this with you guys. Love from Iceland.

[@Bronx_ee]

Amazing guys, amazing show, amazing channel!

[@morenopascaud9201]

Can’t wait for part 3, its going to be epic!!

[@awita5]

discussing every detail in the series would take an actual year nonstop. The one true masterpiece ever since i first saw it. i havent seen anything top it.

[@benwarwick4290]

Epic show! glad your reviewing and enjoying it! The bar never stops rising!

[@Lily-zk1ic]

i was waiting for this reaction! love your videos guys ❤

[@sleepiestreader]

I just wtached your other reactions to arcane a few hours ago and I thought I was gonna wait for some time for the next one but here we are and I'm so excited

[@CodeLied12]

Man I just woke up saw the notification about this video man I woke up and clicked so fast glad you guys are enjoying it

[@MegaMilenche]

God, I just love *SILCO*

[@59347351]

whoever wrote silco is 10/10

[@mooglemage6456]

I love that the one councilor is still trying to solve that child's toy that Mel got him for his birthday 10 years ago lmao

[@rgractor]

It’s been great to watch these guys try to have any idea about what’s coming next.

[@zallesyn4686]

when act 3? :3

[@behboi2233]

Wheres the reaction to last 3 episode its been almost 2 weeks I NEED IT

[@russellrogers6316]

Arcane 6-9 when are those coming?

[@method8591]

They just finished episode 9 on patreon so all we need to wait for is them to edit all 3 reactions together so hopefully a couple more days

[@BaddMedicine]

Thank you @method8591

[@ShilohSmith]

The end of the 6th episode gives me goosebumps every single time

[@Siddhartha92]

The last 3 episodes are rest jerkers and absolute tragedy. One of the few stories I've ever seen where no one wins and everybody loses... Utterly mind blowing story telling.

[@dreamwalker9124]

Yes a real deep """friendship"""

[@MegaMilenche]

Well, relationships work better if they are based on friendships. Last longer when you don't base them only on sexual attraction.

[@Kindaya1]

The behind the scenes documentary about the show revealed that there is *no* motion capture at all. The animators only video-taped themselves doing things similar to the scene they were animated and used it as a reference, nothing more fancy than that! But it sure looks so smooth one would imagine they did... 😀
