In this video, we look at the powerful tool Arcane uses to drive these and narratives home. Foreshadowing is the secret sauce that keeps people anticipating more. We take a look at it as well as why Riot Games' Arcane (2021) is one of the best series out on Netflix.

One of my favourite moments of foreshadowing is in act 1 where ekko talks about jayce buying the display objects in benzos shop- ekko says "he didn't even haggle!". Later on in act 3 silco says this same phrase to vander's statue- "the boy didn't even haggle".
@romycaverly4087
@romycaverly4087 2 жыл бұрын
that line is so brilliant. The act of not haggling shows that Jayce sees everything in black and white. He's virtually unable to find middle ground; to haggle and compromise. It's very US vs. THEM for him, very GOOD vs BAD, PILTOVER vs ZAUN. Characters like Viktor, Mel and Cait try to make him be more flexible, and he is, in the end, with the deal. But even then...he does not haggle. Which is brilliant. Really reflects his character arc

One thing I'd like to point out, the bit with Viktor and the cards. It's not that he was dealt a bad hand, those are tarot cards. People often associate the Death card with literal death, but it actually represents change and new begginings, while the Magician stands for tapping into your potential and bringing your desires into reality. Together, they're foreshadowing Viktor's future with the glorious evolution

One thing I noticed on repeated rewatches (it is more of an easter egg than direct foreshadowing, since it's so easy to miss) but in the scene when Ekko is spying on Vander, Benzo, Grayson, and Marcus, his periscope that descends from the roof is hidden in the eye of a mask on Benzo's shelf. It's the same mask that Ekko will later wear as the leader of the Firelights, just slightly modified by the time we see him again in Episode 4.

This video deserves more views, so many good use of repetition and foreshadowing in Arcane's scenes, and of course the consistency. Rain with caitlyn (even in the shower scene and the twice encounter (and reoccurring compostion) with jinx and the same graffiti when caitlyn is targeted, and the lack of air, a consistent drowning with silco as a few examples of what you pointed out. Awesome video, keep up the good work.

I like the painting Mel did after seeing Jayce. It doesn’t make any sense then but after a few episodes we know about her backstory and there’s a line where she says she want to “paint the city in gold”. After that her mother visit, at the end of that arc you can see her painting (which I’m assuming is her home country), is now painted in gold. The foreshadowing in this film is amazing.

“Is there anything more undoing than a daughter.” -Silco When it cuts to Jinx behind Vander it echos the scent in the opening credits, where we see Vi in the place where Vander is, and an older and more twisted Jinx where Powder is. I’m sure this was pointed out somewhere (and probably in the comments, but that just occurred to me.)

This isn't foreshadowing, this is just narrative cohesion. It's been a part of filmmaking since the black-and-white days and it's even be a part of theater since Greek plays. One or two things you mentioned were foreshadowing. Like, the Magician card. Tho, most of everything here is just typical consistent theming. Arcade does it very well, but this is been apart of Storytelling since we could write.

The ‘Rain Over Her’ Metaphor for Caitlyn is even more significant when you consider that, in the scene before it, Cailtyn’s mother actually gives Caitlyn like the go ahead to follow Vi, showing that she finally trusts her own daughter enough and has seen that she’s very capable and is now letting her make her own decisions.

The foreshadowing is one part that I absolutely love about Arcane! I think your argument with the Chemtech Dragon is a reach, but Rio is a Little Legend in TFT. Another scene I love is in Episode 6, when Silco builds a card house with the daughter of Marcus and at the end he "accidentally" (totally on purpose) drops one card on top which makes it all fall down (also mirroring the title of the episode "When These Walls Come Tumbling Down"), symbolising how big plans can be ruined by one mistake or unexpected event. Like when Silco almost achieved his dream of an independent Zaun, but he couldn't give up Jinx.

This is also consistent with Jinx/Powder's relationship with the Arcane. In the beginning when she was Powder the ending of Act 1 parallels with her growth to Jinx in Act 3 the Arcane Crystal was a huge part of that. Act 1-3 ended in tragedy but in different ways. When she first harnessed the arcane it was intentionally for good but it went terribly, this was the day Jinx was born. Powder dies in act three and now reborn as Jinx this time harnessing the power intentionally this time for bad. There's also the fact that Powder used an unstable arcane gem but Jinx used the stable one and both are used for chaos but with different intentions. Harkens back to Heimerdinger saying if the arcane goes into the wrong hands and the havoc it can wreak. There's so many things that tie each narrative together into one cohesive whole. The writing on this show is just phenomenal.

after rewatching arcane, i noticed something with the kid that jayce accidentally killed: his red hair. it's clever because the only other character we see with naturally red hair (that features a role, anyway) is the woman on silco's guild, who ended up being the kid's mom. it's a small detail, but it links together that part of the story very cleanly, which adds to the autheticity of arcane's writing let's hope season two is tied together just as well as the first 🥂

One thing you got a bit wrong tho, is the interaction between Cait and her mother, regarding the rain theme: I agree with you that Coats mom was overprotective of her and that the Umbrella represents that, but it is not Caitlyn “breaking free” against her mother’s will, it is her mother letting her go. In a Short Moment just before Caitlyn leaves the court room, there is a short interchange of looks between her and her mom. Caitlyns pleading Look that says “I know you disapprove of her but I need to do this, PLEASE” and the gentle, understanding nod of her mother that says, “I trust in your judgment, and even if I don’t approve of it, I respect you decision. Go get her!”. This moment means so much because her mother was able to see she cannot shield her forever, and shortly after that Caitlyn is standing in the rain with Vi, and the rain simultaneously symbolizes Caitlyn released from her mother’s protection and being fully exposed to the world, as well as the sadness of a mother when her child takes flight and leaves the nest, realizing that she will now find her own family. And this is very important because before that, every interaction between them was her mother disapproving and in turn belittling Caitlyn, and in this moment her mom finally treats her as an equal.

SPOILERS (kinda) I’ve seen the recurrence of the statues faces we see on the bridge, the ones overlooking the death of vi’s and powder’s parents in the first scene of the first episode, we see them a bit later while Vi and the gang are fleeing from the inforcers in piltover. Then we see them in episode 2 when Vi and Vander have their talk about the price of war. The last time I can think of is in episode 7 where we see jinx standing on one of the head of the statue, it’s a bit subtle but it’s there. I think the statues relate to how Vi and Jinx relate to violence, showing the different relation they have toward it but I’m not sure, if you could look into it, that would be awesome

a funny little tidbit that I noticed in episode two is that Silco said something along the lines of: " ...one of them [of the four kids] is running circles around piltover's finest" On the surface, this is likely in reference to Vi in particular evading even the best of the enforcers However, this could be a reference to how Jinx remains elusive from Vi and Caitlyn as they try to find her. And for those of you who don't know, "Piltover's Finest" is the ship name for Vi and Caitlyn

On topic of Viktor, I firmly believe Riot are playing quite a long con to set him up as a villain in season 2 or 3. KIND OF A SPOILERS AHEAD!!! In ep. 2 Viktor grabs Jayce's journal just when Heimerdinger says in the distance "Magic is too dangerous when put in the wrong hands", as if implying that Viktor's hands are, indeed, 'wrong'. Then, in ep. 7, when Jayce tells him that people from the Undercity are dangerous, Viktor replies with "I AM from the Undercity". Normally it'd non-verbally raise the question "Am I dangerous too now?", but every League player knows "Damn right he is".

Oh also the scene where Mel received a letter from her mother the entire atmosphere/sky is cast in a red glow. The timing is perfect. It's sunset and a common theme with Mel is GOLD. The sun aka the embodiment of gold (also note the solari details) is setting/going down while the entire sky is bathed in dominating red which foreshadows her Noxian mother from coming (as you know noxus color is RED). It's the true turning point of Mel's character because of her mother serving as a catalyst.

I believe the principle here is set up and pay off. No set up to a pay off things feel random. No pay off to a setup and things feel empty and unsatisfying. If you can make every element part of such a set up and pay off cycle every moment will feel placed with purpose. Beware that too heavy handed set ups (foreshadowing) can ruin a twist/a reveal - or make one.

The fact that The Magician card is depicted as Viktor, with death next to it, I am almost certain this is a Glorious Evolution hint.

'The Truth' is Silco, look at the card. Brilliant.

Wow. I didn’t even notice how great the foreshadowing was until now. It’s so refreshing to find a series that doesn’t feel like it’s beating you over the head with the foreshadowing. It feels natural compared to other series released that same year.

Ekko says to vie, that she still blocks with her face, at first i thought thats a funny comeback, but in vie's fight with sevica we see her block for the first time. So Ekko's comment is really about how vie is fighting.

I have a theory that Victor is the magician who saved Jayce and his mom to ensure that Jayce will be alive to pursue magic so that it will keep Victor alive and the cycle of the time travelling timeline continues

i imagine these details were so thought through because of just how long the team was working on the story - i heard it was in production for about 6 years? i hope that the same attention to detail will be given to season 2 despite the the forecasted release date in 2023. it's so good.

I think ppl give RIOT too much credit, when most of the outstanding features of the series comes from the studio (Fortiche) behind the production for the most part. The animations Riot has published over the years vary greatly both in therms of visual quality and storytelling depending on the studio making them, Fortiche´s works always standing out. Which leads me to believe that the studios commisioned with animations and trailers have quite the creative freedom, and Riot just approving their ideas or not, but them not being involved much with the works itself. Riot has the money, yes, but not the brains. Everything you (and me) love about the show, the animations, the visuals, the storytelling, the directing, all the small details, all of this is most likel the work of those immensely talented artists at Fortiche. Any other studio and the show wouldnt have ended up half as good imo. Or very different at least.

Go read the endless amount of stories on Riot's website and the animations on the League YT and tell us again about them not having brains.

ekko watch in the scene against jinx my friends and I doubt if he used the time travel or not, really good foreshadowing for those that dont know the characters of league

In short: the team behind Arcane, all of them, are competent storytellers. At the bare minimum.

Oh another one: in Ep 1 (I think) Vi is telling Powder that she too can fight, and she says: "I have these" (her fists), "you have this" (her monkey bombs). Powder says, "But they never work" and Vi says: *"They will."*

You have to keep in mind they made Arcane for a general audience, not JUST for League nerds. The doom of many a game-based movie is assuming the audience knows too much, or using too much exposition to teach it.
