As an arcane fan who only knows a little LOL lore, what I learned from this video is Noxus fights everyone 😂😂

[@HK-gm8pe]

as someone whos country was occupied by soviet union...I feel like Noxus is super similar to that :D conquering everything they possible can and also praise only " strenght" :D so I think I dont have to say that Im not fan of Noxus lol :D but I do find the characters super interesting

[@vel306]

The whole point of inserting Noxus into this current show of arcane is to explore that region next..no other region makes sense to a viewer who knows nothing about league. They need to have familiar characters for those viewers. noxus has dark magic and blood magic, very familiar with viktor

[@chrishaven1489]

Chronologically speaking, it makes a lot more sense for Ionia to be the next region. A lot of Noxian backstories stem from the Ionian invasion

[@Viltzu-hk5wh]

@@chrishaven1489 I hope we get Ionian invasion. I am waiting for a scene with either Ambressa or some other Noxian to meet with Singed and be like "hey, wanna make us some chemical weapons in order to slaughter a bunch of magical furries and farmers with swords?" I really gotta learn how to read.

[@ElNahu111]

@@chrishaven1489 Yeah, But Ionia has too many characters and it's kind of complex. Like Ionia has too many open and relatively rich in content storylines involving many characters. Like, Ionia don't think would do with a 2 season show. You have the conflict between the Shadow order and the Kinkou. You have the first noxian invasion and the possible second. You have the vastayan tribes fighting the misuse of magic. You have the Azakana, the noxian Fighting pitts. Ionia has too much going on. Plus, next serie doesn't need to be about the arcane and revolve exclusively about magic. I think Arcane IS about piltover and zaun, and next entry could revolve arround anything.

[@chrishaven1489]

@@ElNahu111 Arcane doesn't focus on every single character in P&Z and neither should Ionia. For some Noxian characters, it'd be kinda awkward to tell their story without the Ionian invasion. That war plays a very significant role in how modern Noxus was formed. If the creators are playing with the duality theme then I would think the obvious protagonists for an Ionian storyline would be Yasuo and Yone, with Shen and Zed being the political B-plot, comparable to Jinx and Vi with Jayce and Viktor as the Arcane B-plot. It helps that Yasuo is as much of a mascot for league as Jinx is

[@ElNahu111]

But that's the thing. MOST Ionian characters are shaped around the First Invasion. Ionia NEEDS Noxus to be established first to function. Noxus not so much. You could center the main Storiline to the black rose trying to delay Mordekaiser. Ionia is still important to noxus, because of the Trifarix, but I dont think It needs Ionia to be established first. There are a lot of Noxian champions who's identity is barely afected by Noxian invasion, well on the other hand Ionia's character almost in their enriety cannot function without noxus. That was my take.

[@Strix2031]

I kinda like the idea of Noxus being a background antagonist before they get properly introduced

[@maofone]

I agree with that to some extent. Such as thanos operating as a large background villain for the majority of the MCU. But if there is an Ionia vs Noxus conflict, for it to be interesting both noxus and ionia need to be developed individually. Every good antagonist needs development for the plot to have stakes and for the narrative to be gripping. So having one season dedicated to noxus is a prerequisite for the Noxus Ionia war if arcane fans want it to be good. Even if a villain isn't sympathetic, they still need development for the story to be interesting, hence why I would prefer ionia to not be directly next

[@loganflint3387]

I really think it’ll be Noxus tbh, it’s basically a sampler of every type of character in the world without getting too intense (assuming Mordekaiser remains off screen) and philosophically it’s the exact opposite of Piltover and Zaun. They do not care where you are from as long as you’re strong. Additionally all the raven and crow imagery in season 1 really feels like it’s teasing Swain.

[@fireguardianx]

The thing about Noxus is that it has too many stories related to it... The death of Darkwill and establishment of the Trifarix, San Uzal's rise, death, and rebirth as Mordekaiser, the war in Ionia, the war in Demacia, as well as their exapnsion to Frejlord and Shurima! Ig they could make a show starting with the invasion of Ionia leading to the death of Boram Darkwill (so a few years to a decade after Arcane since Singed was a part of that whole thing...) and go from there, but then when going to Ionia they'd retread ground with the invasion from the other side of the conflict.

@@jusayalex season 2 of arcane takes place roughly 7-10 years before modern league. In arcane Vi is 20-23 while she is 30 in modern league lore. Irealia was barely 14 when the battle at the Placdium happened and in modern lore Irealia is 24. So the invasion occurred roughly 10 years ago in modern league lore which lines up with the end of arcane. so with the arcane timeline which is now cannon they might have to change ages or the timeline itself.

Camille is an assassin I sure Piltover and Zain will use, especially against Noxus and Blighover. Renata is a chem baron who will likly be a silco in an independent Zaun who gonna make appearances in other shows if they happen. Urgot will be involved in what ever clash Zaun and piltover have with noxus. And Seraphine is a pop star who inspires unity so I sure we see them if these shows are successful and continue to propagate.

[@DuffyChy]

@@ethanwoods1775you are very delusional my friend

[@mileslugo6430]

Let's see Noxus seems like the easy next step since they're so much representation from Arcane. Demacia and/or the Freljord might be a cool juxtaposition to Zaun and Piltover. 1 interesting location that could introduce a ton of other peoples would be Bilgewater. It has Even more Eldritch/Arcane aspects of other places it might even be a good stepping stone to introducing gods without overwhelming watchers

[@justclassicglam]

The only reason I don't think it would be Bilgewater is because that has already been the primary setting along with Shadow Isles for the Ruined King game (which is canon) and has gotten some major attention recently lore wise with Shadow and Fortune, as well as the Burning Tides event. For that reason, I don't think Freljord would be likely either since its universe lore was expanded in the game Song of Nunu, and Aurora's mini-game Spirit of Hearth Home as well. Expanding out those regions again would be redundant as they've already recieved media projects that have allowed fans to interact with those regions very recently, so I think they'll probably focus on places not yet explored instead of doubling down on places we can already explore in other media that already cost the company resources to make. Out of your top 3, Shurima would be the most likely, but even then, not super likely as it is one of the more unpopular regions and in the current timeline of Arcane majority of the Guardians of the Sands from Shurima have been sealed away and releasing them would have world-changing concequences. Not saying it isn't possible we move backwards in time into the past when the last time the Guardians of the Sands weren't sealed away, but it wouldn't lead to a very engaging story if we knew the ending that they would all be sealed away. I think it is more likely we continue on the Arcane timeline forward into the future, or explore another region taking place during the events of Arcane so there is an MCU-style overlap between all regions as more series are made.

[@TesnuzzikArt]

I'm pretty sure the only Forge game which has been confirmed to remain canon after the lore overhaul they did recently is Song of Nunu, idk about the Yordle game but everything before that is currently in that "we don't know for certain" area. Also, if you take into account the fact that we got a huge Ruination related in-game event, a Forge game, a novel, and then another Ruination event in WR not *much* later, I think it's (unfortunately) a little bit hopeful to say Riot will make their decisions based on giving fans variety in regions :')

Hmmm. I'd be very surprised if Camille wasn't in the second season of Arcane

Personally, I think the PnZ arc needs three seasons. This next season should finish the Jinx storyline as well as the civil war for Zaun's independence, plus I'm sure we'll see the beginning of Viktor's glorious revolution, but I think a third season would do wonders to flesh out the last bits of important lore for the region involving Camille, Urgot, and Skarner.

[@serendipity4346]

Noxus; definitely. Like Shurima right now has so much story that hasn't been explored properly and i think it will be the third region (and if not; it will be Jonia or Demacia). But Noxus has SO many secrets and so much info that has been secret for quite a while. You have the Inmortal Bastion, The Trifarix, Mordekaiser, Leblanc itself it's insanely influential in the stories around the entire world. You have the Crimson Circle and Hemomancy with Vladimir, Jericho Swain and his visions, the war against Jonia. (like they can use scenes of a character having a memory/ptsd or something like that to show us the conflict) There's so muuuuch fr. There's also like this "multi-cultural society" that would be pretty easy to understand for new viewers considering that Piltover and Zaun are multi cultural as well.

[@serendipity4346]

Freillord will be really cool to see too; you have Lissandra and her mission to save the entire world (literally), the 3 sisters; the war between clans; the watchers; the semi-gods, the conflict against Noxus; there's so much fr.

if they do do a second season i hope its freljord. go from high tech low natural magic to extremely low tech but high natural magic. the switaru keeps it fresh i also hope if they do to that area one of our povs is braum. Braum? you might be asking, he dosnt have a sad backstory or any change at all. ow but you see he 'dos' as with braum his backstory IS THE Freljord dudes everywhere. he has seen and done everything their twice over. its just hes so op and happy that you dont really notice how fucked up some of the shit around him is. be it nature, magic or man made. hell for most of his storys, cinimatics and other showings if he wasnt their nobody to almost nobody would have survived. having braun their to save the day on his side would make any other story their telling hit harder as for them the freljord will be unfergiving. brauns a red hairing to hid tragidy, he makes us feel safe while they pull the rug under us.

I'd love a show or movie about the Shadow Isles and its lore. Much like the Ruination novel, just put into a tv-/movie-format ^^ I mean, the Shadow Isles once have been the Blessed Isles. It would be a bit boring to just take the Ruination book and turn it into a TV show, but personally... I wouldn't care. I'd love to see something about the Shadow Isles or the Void ^^ But ultimatively I'm just going to trust the producers :D They already convinced me with Arcane back then.

I original thought we were going to get Demacia and then the following season Noxus which could then introduce Ionia. But now I don't know. I really like bilgewater or freljord to separate us a bit from Noxus too. Either way I think Ryze will pop up in multiple series as an almost Tom Bombadil like-character which will eventually introduce Brand. Great work!

[@zacharyvangrack5424]

While I think we all want to see some sort of MCU style build up connecting all the regions, I feel like there are too many stories in the league ip that they would want to explore for their own merits and they seem to find longterm storytelling to be limiting creatively. Riot has shown that they like to be experimental with their storytelling. That's not to say i dont really really REALLY want to see it though 😅 (The void, the harrowing and the darkin all come to mind as world ending threats that could bring all the regions together) I feel like Ezreal's exploration of Shurima would make for a perfect next series. He's from Piltover which fans would recognize and his story involves the origins of hextech and from there we could explore the tragedy of shurima's past coming back to haunt the modern day while meeting iconic characters like Kai'sa and Samira. (Sivir could also get fleshed out and is super compelling as a random bandit who ends up the catalyst that revives Azir)

[@Cantsprint]

Demacia vs Noxus probably, sets up on the valoran plains and leblanc (is most likely) setup in arcane2 due to noxian influence. plus if they do Demacia vs Noxus they have a "storyline" for when the mmo comes out copium

It may make sense that if they are going to do a movie, to do vandal city and the yordels as a movie so its explanation can be one and done. After that they can go back to an Arcane model and focus on new regions for shows again, and than incorporate yordels without needing extra explanation.

Noxus is the most likely to be next and it would probably be focused on Draven and Darius, with Swain and Leblanc establishing the Trifarix? Theres possible connections to Demacia with Jarvan IV, Shurima with Cassiopeia, Zaun with Urgot, you get the idea.

[@jobemi2422]

I do think Noxus makes the most sense for the next series. Noxus has already been introduced as a faction through Arcane, and for fans of the show (and for LoL fans who aren’t as familiar with the lore) it would be a simple bridge to cross for the narrative. It would be something easy to connect with and, depending on how Arcane S2 ends, it may feel weird to just ignore Noxus for a separate region with no connective tissue. I wouldn’t be mad though if they do another region though. Bilgewater makes sense since it’s the most similar in terms of vibes and power levels as P&Z. No godly figures are world ending magic would be present, and the stories would be a bit more grounded then other regions (assuming it’s not about the Harrowing). Plus it would be a good way to show hextech spreading outside of P&Z. So ya my vote would be for Noxus and Bilgewater.

Keep it focused, keep it insular. Tie-ins and returning characters are totally welcome when appropriate, but having the main goal be Avengers Endgame irks me bad. The are better stories to tell. Arcane is proof.

[@maofone]

Honestly it depends on how they do things. If things are explicitly tied together then you are right that does mean for some loss of individuality between series. But if its on a macro-magic scales, such as how piltover's interactions with the arcane causes ripple effects on the other side of the world which instigates a conflict that would make the world feel richer and more engaged. But if Arcane keeps popping around to different regions of the world, developing them independently just for overall world-building reasons would you say that would be okay? Same universe, completely isolated stories. Cuz I think that's the path they will take before the showrunners start tying together plots for big threats that happen in the lore

[@clubberlang8050]

@@maofone I'm fine with things affecting each other or certain events butterfly affecting their way into another story. Or even a character or two appearing in multiple regions. What I don't want is this "big bad" plot where they come together and forget everything that's happened before to punch some random apocalyptic threat (LoL lore has like 5 those btw). I just want focused, character driven writing like Arcane has given us already. Jinx super-mega death rocketing a hoard of voidlings in an avengers style action scene is just not something that I want to see at all.

[@maofone]

Finally someone who understands it. Thats the problem i have with the zaun x piltover alliance against noxus. But for big bad they might juggle it by keeping regions separate but all fighting the void threat or just characters who would be invested in this (aka enforcers go fight void while jinx uses this moment to take over piltover) there is some wiggle room and im hopeful

[@Rhyolite-hyena]

So, Demacia or few parts of Frejord would likely be next?

[@maofone]

Wdym by few parts

[@Americanidiot685]

Riot need to make a first person version of League of Legends. It would be so awesome to see what could be kinda like a love child between league of legends and say Overwatch or valorant.

[@athanasiusbrown6788]

In my opinion I think Demacia would be picked.

[@adamspencer5142]

They have to end after 2 seasons or Netflix will just cancel it.

[@jojemarlass]

There is one region you didnt mentioned. Its viegos region. He already have a book about him. And its so vast.

[@agonizingstarbutterfly1184]

My list Shurima Nocux Bilgwater Demaica

[@lautaroasis60]

Maybe lets just ignore marvel for like... Ever. Also: 1. You dont need noxus for demacia, they get into the demacia story even less than with piltover, for what can be seen in the S2 trailer 2. You don't need Sylas for Freljord

[@maofone]

1. I agree demacia has a lot of internal conflict so they dont need to cover Noxus at all. Noxus is moreso a prerequisite for Ionia. My biggest gripe with Demacia is just color scheming, very similar to piltover 2. Sylas is definately not needed for piltover but depending on how they want to carry out his storyline they might need freljord for Sylas

[@lautaroasis60]

@@maofone trust me, Demacia has forests, coasts, mountains, and if you get lost at night you end up in the crop fields where the crows are all that survive

[@lautaroasis60]

@@maofone 2. Sylas can be used for a second part of Freljord but you can get a full season and a bit more before ut gets to him

[@maofone]

@@lautaroasis60 Yeah i mentioned that in the video Demacia is good so thats why its number 5 (if i remember correctly) but for what's been set up overall I believe the top 3 edge it out slightly. But i am biased towards Bilgewater so honestly as the next Arcane animated series demacia and bilgewater are neck and neck Also Frejord doesnt need to be before demacia since they could just develop frejord offhandedly when exploring demacia so its perfectly fine for the next series to be demacia

[@theenderhayden9626]

I understand the xerath azir story but I think one of the main focuses of a shurima show would be yes azir xerath but Nasus and renekton story as that crosses with azira and xeraths also showing other asendded like aatrox nafiri rast etc .. pre becoming darkin like season 1 would be nasus and renekton story primarily like how jinx and vi's is the main thing in arcane but we would also cut xerath and azirs story like jayce and victor season would end with xeraths betrayal of azir and him sealed in his tomb with renekton season can be the aftermath showing the great darkin war Thanks that's my pitch for the next series haha

[@D4C_Gaming]

Noxus just invades everyone bro💀

[@riveevatera9263]

Omg I'M FIRST 🤣anyway looking forward to the future ❤can't wait for the live action movies and the amazing animated shows ❤

[@AronLain]

My thougts: Piltover and Zaun -> Hoxus -> Ionia -> Demacia -> Freljord -> Bildgvoter/shadow iles -> Shurima -> Targon

[@herrschmemsch1019]

I guess next will be the start of the whole invasion of Ionia by noxus, because noxus used chemical weapons that singend Made for them

[@nobuzilla]

I want to see Ionia no matter what, just to see Ahri.Many say that Noxus is the perfect candidate for after Arcane but I go for Ionia because it is my favorite and for singed and his bomb

[@Lyger101]

Least likely is Ionia!?!

[@lylytv6293]

No first must be shurima and Noxus , demacia, camavor, IXtal last it bligewater

[@the-insomniac323]

"Live action" im sorry one of the reasons i love arcane is that the characters feel more human than actual people do. in my honest opinion i wont enjoy it as much as arcane

[@DarkKing009]

Viktor & Jayce is dead. Long live Graves & Twisted Fate!

[@o-wolf]

You thinking Ionia is the least likely region to be covered but a frIcking FIGHTING MOUNTAIN RANGE would is hilarious, never write stories if you think like this Ionia Noxus Demacia Bilgewater are rhe next obvious destinations Noxus can be GoT style Arcane Demacia can also be GoT style Arcane Bilgewater can be pirate swashbuckling Arcane Ionia can be LOTR/Hobbit style arcane The possibilities are endless

[@maofone]

If they do Ionia they probably need to include the noxian invasion. For that to be interesting you need to develop the antagonist, that being noxus. Hence noxus is a prerequisite for Ionia. Now I should've mentioned I was talking about the very next region of arcane instead of what's likely coming up because yes, I believe Ionia will probably be in the first 50%of regions shown but based on the requirement of developing noxus for an interesting conflict that disqualifies them from being the next most likely region

[@julio.dealmeidabranconeto5831]

Why does everything need to connect like the Avengers?

[@maofone]

Avengers went to complete shit but the world-building model they used is innovative and is just exemplifying the idea of connecting different series together. I think we would all prefer the stories of Arcane, the live action, and the movie to build off of each other so we can see our favorite characters interact in different ways

[@julio.dealmeidabranconeto5831]

@@maofone okay, but I don't think they need to. And it would probably be better if they didn't, because they wouldn't be beholden to that promise of connecting the stories.

according to the direction of season 2 right now - disappointment

[@iapetes1]

This video just seems like talking out your ass from minute one "They chose piltover first cus uhh magic there was new" show me where anyone ever said that

[@maofone]

It's a good reason to choose piltovet no doubt. Again, a sense of progression does make sense to keep things exciting and fresh so from an out of universe reason it makes sense how they could express regions in that order

[@CloudMV]

Personally idgaf about the game...And no one else should either lmao, riot should become a studio like pixar and make series like arcane all the time.
