I never liked Imagine Dragons. Other songs on this show are sooo much better. Imagine Dragons sucks and swallows. As for that titty show you were talking about whatever it's called, unless I get to go home who one of them, I don't see the point. Not a fan of looky no touchy.

Redrum Ritual

It was only presently surprising? So it's no longer surprising?

Linus Marjeta

The show is not sponsored by imagine dragons lol, I have no idea where you got that idea from, imagine dragons are however huge fans of league of legends and have a long history with riot and league (they are league players themselfs) , that why they agreed to do this, them being in the show is just a homage to them, I doubt they asked for it, And the song just fits extremly well to the story (they wrote it for the show) and especially to that scene.

One tie in with titties and Arcane that I noticed, Jinx is part of the itty bitty titty club. Almost all animation, especially the game themed anime, all have unnaturally huge titties. It was nice to see a wide range of assets in the characters and none outrageously displayed or sized. It was presently surprising.

Man, for a second I thought you meant Arcane season 2 was coming out next month and I was like WHAT!? XD

Yani Dodge

The song was literally made for the show. Would kinda be like complaining about them using the soundtrack haha

Balkyne

Idk I keep saying the same thing but I say it with a chuckle. It's really incredible how people get the wrong thing stuck in their head for so long. I said human bean until I was like 17 years old.

Trey Chamness

Ohhhhhh yes please! 😍

Well I just don't see any value on if you subjectively don't like the band or not. If you want to argue something such as the song doesn't fit with the style you would expect to be played within Zaun, or the lyrics have no meaning to the scene, or the band members don't match the look of everyone else then that could have some value. But 'Imagine Dragons bad' is just one of the laziest opinions on the internet.

Rich House

I respect your opinion. But I disagree. Who the band is matters.

Draeken

Well it's not completely different, It's two diegetic musical pieces with cameos of the performing artists. I'm not going to say it's my favourite scene, in fact it could be the worst scene in the whole show and still be perfectly fine. It serves it's purpose, transition between Jinx & Silco to the Vi & Sevika fight and establish what Marcus, Mel, Jayce and Viktor are dealing with. You could make some arguments as to what is wrong with it but just it being Imagine Dragons is not it.

Rich House

She should just look up a summary of that back story instead. Not worth subjecting ones self to the music video.

Draeken

After Arcane is done, I'd love Nat to continue on with a regular animated show slot. And since the second season is coming next month, it would be the perfect time to introduce to CR and let her watch The Legend of Vox Machina.

DarthXeladier

Nobody cares. I promise you Vye isn't offended.

Draeken

Nobody cares.

Draeken

Get well soon. I got it bad in 2021. Take care of yourself.

Draeken

It's almost 2023. I have the utmost confidence in your ability to expand your vocabulary beyond the word "cringe". God speed Byron.

Draeken

@Philippe. You're right. Imagine Dragons was a bad choice. @Rich House - No, it's completely different.

Draeken

like like?

Draeken

damn vi is such a badass

alejandro

The question is, would she watch the music video? It does have some fun backstory to the characters that helps answer a few questions.

Nick Austad

The outro songs/ambient tones do so much to give you a breathing space and process the current episode. I sat through all the credits and listened to the score just so I properly understood what I’m supposed to be feeling. It’s truly S tier editing and writing

Nathan Elkin

The Woodkid song is epic. I bet Nat comments on it. She hasn't been listening to the outtro songs completely, which is unfortunate, because I feel the impact of that song is greater because of the buildup.

Mastervodo

All you really need to accept is Jinx knows she got them killed, she would imagine how that happened but it makes zero sense to show an imagined scenario the viewer isn't familiar with to convey she is remembering that event.

Rich House

The ugly guy in the show was for the Yoda act.

pedantech

This is my favorite episode. For me, it's the most subtle episode in the first season because of how it weaves back and forth between everyone. Other episodes have better action, better music, better shots, better dialogue, or better voice acting, but this episode stands out to me for how simple everything is. And when I watched it the first time, I was so invested in the story and the art that Imagine Dragons were the last thing on my mind; I didn't even notice them because I often forget what they look like and was simply riding on the vibes. Woodkid has been in my playlists since 2012, and I couldn't believe it when they showed up in the next episode. I think that guy serving Vi food in this episode is probably my favorite character, ngl.

Nathan Elkin

THANK YOU. This is personally my favorite episode, for many reasons, but that concert scene with the politics is what convinced me this is the peak of TV storytelling. I was thrilled when I found out they designed that character's look off the real guy who plays the violin solo in the score for the episode.

Nathan Elkin

I'm sure Silco's people found the bodies afterwards, and if Jinx wasn't present during that, there's still a chance she overheard exactly how they died. Stabbed and crushed.

Nathan Elkin

It should be said that while Marcus did imprison Vi, and it's fucked up she was in there so long, he did it for multiple reasons. He wanted to correct his mistakes, so he went out of his way to make sure Silco didn't kill her, but he also still had the responsibility of arresting the culprits for the break-in during the first episode. I feel like many people overlook that fact. He saved Vi while also tying up loose ends, and it probably was the only option he believed he could take once that thought occurred to him. Silco only took over the Undercity because the enforcers were pulled out after Vi was arrested. This isn't a spoiler because they never explain it, but I'm sure the writers of the show made sure the logic all made sense, and I think people appreciate certain details that are more upfront and apparent, but forget how every story line affects all the others, in more ways than the show bothers to explain.

Nathan Elkin

haha i agree the Imagine Dragons thing was a bit silly but it was not unexpected as they have worked with Riot on this stuff before, i believe as others have said the song was made for the show specifically. i appreciate that even though i personally enjoyed it, they kept it short in the show, but you were right on the money there is, in fact, a full music video haha im glad you felt like you wanted to keep saying Powder too, and you're right, its a really interesting look at mental health and untreated trauma also i understand many hate Markus quickly, and i dont blame them, but i love that this show has him because hes a great example of someone who wanted to do good, and got tangled doing bad and has no idea how to reverse it in the first 3 eps we see he really over the top trying to fight those responsible because he believed the propaganda of the trenchers were all criminals, and he learnt the hard way that Silco was the worst of the worst, and i LOVE that in this ep we see how thats affecting him, from visiting the tomb, to keeping the blood stained coin, even wishing he could end it and take silco with him, but he has a daughter, and thats where everything become complicated, Markus hasnt done good, but take the imprisoning Vi and telling silco he killed her, hes trying, he didnt want to kill Vi but Silco obviously wanted her dead, doesn't excuse what he did of course, but that the point, every character in this show is complicated and has shades of grey and i LOVE IT haha i apologise for the wall of text lol

Tesh

I wouldn't say they were sponsored by Imagine Dragons. It's more of a partnership. The song was made specifically for this show. Imagine Dragons are fans of League of Legends and they've worked with Riot before in creating "Warriors" for the League World finals. Riot giving them a cameo, while a bit silly, is probably just a fun thank you.

Elliot A

Nat spent more time than I ever could have expected talking about star wars and tiddies today.

Hunter

One of the really tragic parts of Powder’s character subtlety conveyed in this episode is just how INSANELY SMART she is. She was able to figure out how hextech works using nothing but scraps and notes. Had she been born in Piltover she likely would have been recognized for her genius, but because she was born in the undercity she was always criticized for not being street smart 😔

Daniel Molina

Im sorry I zoned out during the intro and I don't want to rewatch but I heard there is titties and star wars please help asking for my mom.

devin flynn

For the love of god its Vye like Rye!

Simon Bauer

Happy Monday Nat. Hope you had an awesome weekend too 😊 It was hard to concentrate on today's episode after an introductory story like that Nat! It was an interesting show, from what I remember of it ha ha 😄 Any reaction where we get a "What is happening??" from you Nat, is always amazing. Good to see Vi out and back on the streets, and I look forward to seeing where we go next. Thanks for an entertaining video today 💛

Darryl Low

I’m just waiting for her to start watching Wednesday so I can finally watch it. I’m behind all my friends

John Piazza

Ooh, I'm so excited to watch! 😁

Yani Dodge

For me the best Wrolds song and that opening was awesome too.

Javier Vara

I ain't gonna lie. I would definitely listen to Imagine Dragons while making a scientific breakthrough.

Walter Lopez

This was filmed on the 4th. I imagine Nat has watched the rest of the series by now. I wonder if she noticed that Sevika's arm was blown off in Ep 3 in the same explosion that took everybody else out? I wonder if she noticed that the symbol the big fishmonger guy gave VI on the note he slipped her matched the little "peephole" for the brothel they went to? There was another little detail I saw this episode when Marcus was talking to Silco. He was nervously tapping his left leg while sitting there, and the Foley artists even included the sound!

Mastervodo

It was VERY random. Really took me out of the show for a minute, but that flying knee always brings it back.

Riolkin

Pronounce it like vigh. You’re about to make it halfway through the show and still not get the name right lol.

Seth Workman

Not sure what I love more, Natalie enjoying arcane or laughing/cringing at imagine dragons lol. The music and score of the show is generally fantastic. The intro being "ehh" with imagine dragons is one thing, but this music video randomly in the episode was a horrible choice haha.

FullMetal B

LOL there actually is a music video for the song Enemy which is normally recommended viewing after episode 7 but you don't need to watch it to enjoy the show. The one issue I always have with this episode (okay two if you count the weird space banging) is that Jinx never actually saw anyone die, so it's strange that she gets flashes of it. But it's a miniscule gripe. The show is still great.

Haughtbreaker Nic

I just came down with COVID, and your reactions have been a Godsend. Thanks for all you do, Natalie.

James Amaral

When I first watched the show I rolled my eyes so damn hard at Imagine Dragons being in the show. But afterwards as I learned that Riot’s actual talent lies not in making video games but in Music Video production I became more forgiving of it, it’s still cheesy as all hell but its well done cheese so I can let it slide.

Ryan

The topic at the beginning was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Micah Zimmer

Imagine Dragons are reportedly big fans of League of Legends, which is why they did the intro song, and are featured in this episode. They also did a song for the 2014 League Championship.

Steven Sterling

Do you feel the same way for Ray Chen during the Violin concerto?

Rich House

Leia in a bikini. Not a big leap I say.

Mastervodo

I think Caitlyn already did lose her job as an enforcer. That's why Jayce was offering her a job as his security in the last episode.

Tenn Seven

Star Wars burlesque sounds astoundingly cringe. Those are two things that are not a natural fit.

Byron

The story at the beginning was amazing, i want it cut out for its own storytime type content for just nat youtube space. Reaction was wonderful as well!

Joshua Kon

I agree with you having the actual Imagine Dragons band in the show was pretty cringe. Aside from that though, I don't know for y'all but I absolutely love it. Character writing is insane and so is the action

Philippe Dessaints

Here for the Star Wars Burlesque story, stayed for Arcane

Rabbid Dawg

Woo! I have been waiting on this with excitement :D

Danishprince

lmao i never knew there are shows like like, hilarious

Chen

I love titties! And Star Wars, and Cosplay!!!!

Jayson Phillips

No idea you were an Eagles fan! Fly Eagles Fly!

Loewe

Yay! Know what I'm watching at dinner tonight 😁😁

Javier Vara

8:58 "Will Patreon upload at 9:00 today and not mess up?" 8:59 "Will we be doing Arcane today, or are we starting Wednesday on Monday? I hope Arcane. Wednesday should start on a Wednesday." 9:00 "ARCANE! YES! Now I know what I'm going to do for the next 2 hours. Watching Nat's reaction to S1E5, and then re-watching Nat's reaction to S1E5."

Mastervodo

Loving this show, it's something I would never had watch if it hadn't been for Nat..

Baggie Mark

Woot! Let's go!
