2024-04-25 23:05:40 +0000 UTCJoined the patreon just to see the uncut reactions. It's such an amazing series. After you finish season 1, you two should check out the behind the scenes series they made for the show. It's 5 30-min episodes on League of Legends' youtube channel, it's called "Bridging the Rift". Would love to see your reaction to that

2024-04-25 21:20:29 +0000 UTCI was hoping we could refrain from listing the champions in game as Meesh and Dee were going to guess who they were later on - as well, it kinda sets an expecation for those characters in Arcane. I planned to mod comments on Youtube alluding to more about the game that might spoil the events in Arcane, but unfortunately Patreon comments can get viewed with no modding system in place.

2024-04-25 15:06:02 +0000 UTCP.S.: Here are my thoughts about Caitlyn, back when I watched the show for the first time: I really liked Caitlyn from the beginning, even in those short glimpses at her in the first act. She has a kind heart, is determined (borderlining on stubborn π π), has a sharp mind and a straight moral compass. She also has that naivete and hunger for seeing the world of someone who grew up sheltered and has never seen anything really bad. (As Mylo said: "Just get born lucky.") She even said so herself: "She [her mother] would do anything, to keep me from seeing the real world." Though imo this naivete isn't necessarily a bad thing, I hope she can keep a little bit of that. The way this show is going, I doubt it though, I guess she'll learn a few bitter lessons. She already had the first reality check by seeing her fellow enforcers die in front of her. I don't know if she's a champion, as I've never played lol, I just hope she survives and doesn't get as traumatized as our beloved sisters.

2024-04-25 07:18:32 +0000 UTCWhat a great start into act 2 of this story...π I don't want to go to deep into the Vi problem, since enough others got into it, but honestly (and please don't be angry) I don't understand what you were thinking what was happening. In the beginning you clearly thought the pink haired girl was Vi and that Jinx killed her, but at the end you seemed to have forgotten all about it and waited for Vi to show up. How could she show up if you thought she was dead? π€π Thoughts and observations - as usual spoiler free: - According to the authors the time jump was 6-7 years but they kept it vague on purpose, as to not mess up the timeline in possible later seasons - Powders bombs finally work ... to perfection. - Jinx' fingernails are painted blue and purple and are splintered. - Jinx' links to her past as Powder are a small cuddly Claggor puppet, a life-size Mylo mannequin, several toys, Vis bunny and the flare Vi gave her on that faithful night ππ - Mylos ghost lingers over her shoulder like a devil. He represents all her insecurities and self-hate, since he was the one always bickering, criticising and belitteling her and constantly complaining about her. That's why Jinx has written "bla, bla, bla" all over Mylos mannequin. - Jinx has the beautiful mechanical butterflies from the Progress Day fair in her lab and seemed to work on them. - Jinx' tattoos are blue clouds. - Jinx still paints on absolutely everything (look at the things on Silcos desk or her bombs). - Jinx'/Powders reintroduction was the coolest entry of a villain I've ever seen. - Sevikas facial scars shine in the same blue as the crystals, when we see her again at the ship. - The way Jinx looked at Sevika while beeing scolded gave me goosebumps.π± - There is some kind of mechanical Shimmer device under the coat on Sevikas left shoulder. - I loved Silcos confusion wether or not to be mad at Jinx after she gave him the hextech gemstone. He was mad at Jinx because the (unnecessary) killing of the enforcers puts too much attention on him, when he doesn't need it and brings his plans in jeopardy, but the gemstone is an extremely powerful item that could be of great use for him. - Jinx is so broken...ππ She is still the clingy insecure eleven years old girl that wants to belong to someone and constantly tries to prove her worth. (And still something goes wrong everytime when she tries - The great tragedy of her life.π) What makes it weird for you ist that this little girl is trapped inside the body of an seventeen or eighteen years old teenager. Behaviour and biological age don't match. And she also detached herself from Powder and what she had done by giving herself a new name, a new home and not caring about life. Not hers (just look how she plays with her grenades and always sits on the brink of an abyss) and not those of others (all the unnecessary killings - the pink haired girl Jinx shot in the back while trying to run away from her, the enforcers she didn't need to kill to distract them from guarding the Academy entrance). - Mel Medarda is the most beautiful animated character I've ever seen...π And she is not (at least til now) Jayce's girl. If anything, he is her tool that she manipulates and uses to achieve her own goals. She has a model of the hexgate on her desk, which means he is not only her protegΓ© (when something doesn't go the way he wants, he always goes straight to Mel looking for help or advice), but she financed the building of the gates and profits from the income. Which makes sense since she is the richest person in Piltover. The control over the hexgates also increases her influence and makes her the probably most powerful person in Piltover. - Vi's tattoos seem to be cogs and machine parts. - Vi has her name as roman numerals V an I tattooed on her face - V=5, I=1, both together VI=6, her prison number is 516. - Vi knocked the bald tattooed guy out twice, once at the fight in the old cannery and years later when they meet again in prison. - The uniforms of the enforcers at the fair differ from those they put on when they're going into the undercity (here it is more fancy and elegant, for representation, the others are armored combat suits). π€π - Silcos left eye has no lids, he only blinks with the right one. - There are nine chairs at the councillors table, but only 7, then 8 councillors. - Caitlyns mom wears earrings that match the color of her eyes. - Caitlyn removed the bandaid from her forehead, when she goes to Stillwater Prison. Sorry it got a bit long. As always, loved your reaction and looking forward to the next one. πππ»ββοΈ

2024-04-25 05:50:20 +0000 UTC6-7 years!! We were close π Her rocking out totally gave me rebellious teenage phase lol

2024-04-25 05:49:48 +0000 UTCSoooo badass, the hairs on my arms stood up π€£
Meesh and Dee
2024-04-25 05:47:28 +0000 UTCThank you π€ We are doing our best to post these episodes asap!
Meesh and Dee
2024-04-25 05:47:00 +0000 UTCThere was so much going on we totally missed it π On the second rewatch we understood she was going through a little breakdown. She did not look like Vi at all, especially at the end!! π€―
Meesh and Dee
2024-04-25 05:46:11 +0000 UTCOh, and as you mentioned the number 5 -1-6... You should write it down in Roman numerals. π Maybe you will get a little easteregg there...π
MasterOfPuppets
2024-04-25 05:00:08 +0000 UTCI agree. In this show details matter a lot. Every little item is there for a reason. Take Hoskel for example. He is still (after 6-7 years) trying to solve the present Mel gave him. And we know it actually a kids toy..π I wish that for the start of season 2 they'd bring season 1 in the cinemas as a special event. Would love to see and hear it on the real big screen...π
MasterOfPuppets
2024-04-25 03:28:01 +0000 UTCAmanda Overton (one of the writers) stated that the time jump is actually 6-7 years. In arc 2 Powd...eh Jinx is about 17. Physically that is ofc. I guess it fair to say that mentally she is still very childish and deeply traumatized. That Vi reveal at the end still gives me chills everytime..π€©
MasterOfPuppets
2024-04-25 03:21:38 +0000 UTCThe Vi reveal is so badass but I wish we got more of her in this episode.

2024-04-25 03:07:30 +0000 UTCThanks so much guys for posting these reactions to Arcane! And extra thank you that you don't take too long before the next one is posted!!!
Edo
2024-04-25 03:01:58 +0000 UTCNow that name seems familiar to me π If I have ever seen a toxic relationship, this one. But as for many things in Arcane there will be different perspectives on this, just you wait for the comments π. Especially regarding it being toxic on purpose or not..
MasterOfPuppets
2024-04-25 02:15:49 +0000 UTCUsually I hate to wake up one hour early to the alarm clock, but now I will have the most splendid pre-work watch..π€©π€© This was meant to be, I swear! π
MasterOfPuppets
2024-04-25 02:08:30 +0000 UTCas for jinx and Silco's relationship, Jinx is like an adolescent who didnt really mentally develop much past 11, which is why she still physically clings to her father figure. it's uncomfortable un purpose because it showcases her, or both of theirs mental state. definitely a toxic father/daughter dynamic
Mathies
2024-04-24 23:31:01 +0000 UTCI cant let you think that was Vi at the beginning for the rest of this show haha. no shame, you're not the only reaction channel that didnt pick up on it, But you're definitely supposed to know by the time you see her in jail. Jinx only had a trauma episode because the girl reminded her of Vi. the next scenes with jinx make it pretty clear that it's not actually her. Jinx also killed the girl after realizing it wasnt Vi
Mathies
2024-04-24 23:26:14 +0000 UTCMeant to be π

2024-04-24 23:02:42 +0000 UTCGuys whatβs the actual schedule for this? And yall need to buy like a 65nch screen, plug your laptop to it. Do it before episodes 7,8,9 because those are some of the best piece of animation and visual direction Iβve ever seen. You are going to regret watching it on a small laptop, I swear it.
SoClose
2024-04-24 23:02:26 +0000 UTCI'll make sure to make the Editor's Note really big during the edited version, I'd put a note even for the Uncut that I'd let them know this.

2024-04-24 22:50:23 +0000 UTCJust a heads up the first girl wasnt Vi
