After seeing an interview, I think that the firelight flying out of Powder's mouth is actually teasing/symbolizing a deleted scene we probably will be seeing in S2 because I think this will be more explored than just a quick flash back. The creators were short on time in S1 anyways and I think that this flashback might actually spoil that a comeback for Powder was impossible anyways even in ep6, when things were still looking feasable without that flashback. Here the video for the deleted scene: ruclips.net/video/K3VCQRO4850/видео.html
Wait i just realized something. In the show vi says powders good with her gadgets which are technology. And vi gift is fighting which is her physical strength. Vi is pink and jinx is blue. When vi gets hextech golves which are technology jinx gets shemer which inhances you're physical skills. Hextech is blue shemer is pink. A little bit of powder exist in vi and little bit of vi exists in power. Like yin and yang. Also vi wearing the hextech can remind vi how powder used to be and shemer can mean powder finally became strong like her hero.
It's kinda funny you caught the flash to Jinx when the firelight comes out of her mouth that everyone seemed to miss, but missed the flash when she's pointing her finger guns at the enforcers that everyone seemed to catch. Also, the MV is a bit weird in the sense that it kind of needs to be seen after episode 3 as to not spoil the 'Jinx is Powder' reveal and her emotional issues for those who go in completely blind on the series and lore, but before episode 7 to give more weight to what happens at the end of that episode.
honestly the ekko vs jinx scene is my favorite scene by far and I love it because they managed to pump out so much context and storytelling within a few seconds, without any dialogue. And it worked better for me at lease because we never saw them playfighting or even hanging out all that much before.
If you wanna watch more league cinematics, a good starting place would be warriors, awaken, and the call. Then you could jump into the tales of runeterra videos :)
Which version of Warriors? Remember there are two of them. The original 2014 video for World Championship and the 2020 version for Season starting. I guess he could do both.
For people who haven't watched the show (yet), this MV is super awesome. For people who KNOW the show, it's at the same time super awesome and fucking haunting. You can't appreciate it without knowing what it's about because it's wonderfully crafted (the dedication of Riot Games and Fortiche, Jesus) and the song is catchy, but in order to FULLY enjoy it, you have to know Arcane.
We briefly see Ekko's big single wheel vehicle outside of benzo's shop right after we first meet Ekko and he goes outside to show Claggor how his fighting skills are "coming along".
There is a brief shot of powder wearing the frying pan on her head (The same one we see in the bridge fight with Ekko after she turns back into young powder).
They had more scenes of the "Lanes Gang" as I like to call them(Young Vi, Powder, Mylo, Claggor,"Little Man" Ekko) and they were debating whether to set up the Powder/Jinx and Vi fall out more or let Episode 3 speak for itself for the most part in that respect because of Mia`s heartbreaking performance but ultimately they chose the latter and I think that was the right option.
I don't know if you know, but Ekko actually has his own league cinematic (His trailer for the game). It isn't the best league cinematic, but since you seem to really like Ekko I guess it would be something for you cast ;)
1:22 Newer League cinematics are definitely better to react to than older ones. League cinematics tend to differ in tone from each other quite a lot, but in general I suggest checking out the Legends of Runeterra promo cinematics for the regions. No need of any prior League knowledge for those and it's a generally good introduction to the regions in the League universe.
Agreed, the focus changes as well. The older videos focuses on promoting the game, then it switches to focusing on esports, and currently the cinematics are more lore focused. Also I agree that the newer, lore focused cinematics are better and more entertaining to watch.
Ask Hannibal Lector what the moth (firelight) coming out of Powder's mouth symbolizes! "The significance of the moth is change. Caterpillar into chrysalis, or pupa, from thence into beauty" I love how the video seems to tell a small story - Vi and the gang hang around in the market, make their mark - look how focussed Vi is - and Powder jinxes it. I think she and Ekko were supposed to distract the Enforcers. Vi gets beaten up, and shook down by the enforcers as Powder watches, guiltily. Powder and Vi row in their bedroom, and Vi storms off, whilst Powder goes upstairs to the bar. The sisters reuinite (right at the start) and hug it out. This time.
If you know nothing about league except arcane check out warriors music video After warriors, you should watch all the tales of runeterra videos. (runeterra is the name of the planet on which arcane is taking place on) there is no specific order to watch the cinematics though so don't stress too much about it. A few suggestions: Annie:Origins Kin of the Stained Blade Awaken Ekko:Seconds The Call Get Jinxed! There are over 150 cinematics i think. If not all you should atleast watch all the ones mentioned in this comment atleast
3:43 I would say it's quite the opposite. Ekko and Viktor are probably the most loved by fans characters outside Jinx and Vi (and maybe Silco). To the point that I would actually call them overrated. Don't get me wrong, I love them, I love all Arcane characters, but in terms of character writing and contribution to the story Viktor and Ekko are not among the best characters in my opinion. Jayce and Mel are definitely way more underrated.
I think it's because, in term of pure writing, Jayce and Mel are more common. She is a bit the femme fatale with politics skills and he is the classic from rags to riches pretty boy. I don't mean they are banal, in fact they use to reverse these two tropes to spice things, but surely we have to say that, as far as character building, Ekko and Viktor are more recognizable and interesting. Is the same motivation way, always speaking just about writing, Silco is more interesting and memorable than Vander: this one falls more into the trope, even if they use it in the best way possible and in fact he is a strong character after all. Plus people tends to love more the disadvantages characters or the underground, rebellious character than the establishment one such as Mel (and Jayce after is beginning)
Warriors, specially, from the world tourney at, ugh idk, sometime around the last decade The Yasuo and Yone one too I don't remember the other names so yea '-')v
Ekko and especially Viktor are not underrated by any means LOL Ekko is a popular character in general and tons of people simp over Arcane Viktor funnily 😂 Also Ekko does have his own cinematic although kinda old since it was when he first released in league as well as another music video based on a skin (skins have lore with no connection to Arcane/League). There is also a Jinx music video that IS cannon as well and one of the episodes actually played/referenced this music video
Reacting to league cinematics only work if you spend time learning who the champions are. The cinematics are amazing, but they require some knowledge of lore to actually understand who and where you are in the world. You can enjoy them by just watching them but knowing how you are and how you react what i would do is lean on patreon to tell you which champions are in each cinematic before you watch it, and then go read their bios before you react. Most bios are fairly short and will give you and idea of who they are which will allow you to appreciate the characters more. For example in one of them a character is laying siege to a castle of a couple other characters. It is beneficial to know that the reason for this is because the character was persecuted and thrown in jail for being a mage. So where someone automatically looking at it would be confused and automatically see him as the bad guy. Little do you know its because they "good guys" are dicks.
From the way he phrased it it seems he meant the show doesn't give him and Ekko enough screentime I think? Edit; yup apparently he confirmed it a few replies above!
@@themindfulmoron3790 Keep in mind, I'm only talking about the fast paced rap that occurs at about 2:16 in the official music video. The somewhat spoken/rythmic lyrics throughout are amazing except for that. ruclips.net/video/D9G1VOjN_84/видео.html
Episode 7 coming soon, make sure you subscribe not to miss it 👀
Also episode 8 dropping on Patreon today.
I'm so excited

you can tell that powder is jinx from the first episodes

And it worked better for me at lease because we never saw them playfighting or even hanging out all that much before.
Perfect timing watching this video before episode 7
If you wanna watch more league cinematics, a good starting place would be warriors, awaken, and the call. Then you could jump into the tales of runeterra videos :)
I'd also recommend Annie: Origins as the spiritual predecessor to Arcanes art style and emotional gravity.
And "get jinxed". Old but gold
Which version of Warriors? Remember there are two of them. The original 2014 video for World Championship and the 2020 version for Season starting. I guess he could do both.
@@demosteneswiggin5122 the season cinematic one (I forgot there were 2 lol)

Late but you gotta check out Get Jinxed. It's a part of the Jinx lore.
We be happy, we be smiling 👍
This music video is straight fire happy to see you react to it
They had more scenes of the "Lanes Gang" as I like to call them(Young Vi, Powder, Mylo, Claggor,"Little Man" Ekko) and they were debating whether to set up the Powder/Jinx and Vi fall out more or let Episode 3 speak for itself for the most part in that respect because of Mia`s heartbreaking performance but ultimately they chose the latter and I think that was the right option.
YES PLEASE REACT TO CINEMATICS…
I don't know if you know, but Ekko actually has his own league cinematic (His trailer for the game). It isn't the best league cinematic, but since you seem to really like Ekko I guess it would be something for you cast ;)
I wish people would stop saying to watch this BEFORE episode 7.
1:22 Newer League cinematics are definitely better to react to than older ones.

In relation to Arcane easter eggs, I suggest you : Get Jinxed, Burning Bright | Star Guardian Music Video and Ekko: Seconds :)
If you know nothing about league except arcane check out warriors music video
After warriors, you should watch all the tales of runeterra videos. (runeterra is the name of the planet on which arcane is taking place on)
there is no specific order to watch the cinematics though so don't stress too much about it.
A few suggestions:
Annie:Origins
Kin of the Stained Blade
Awaken
Ekko:Seconds
The Call
Get Jinxed!
There are over 150 cinematics i think. If not all you should atleast watch all the ones mentioned in this comment atleast
i just found your channel and i love it
So cool
I suggest checking out Legends of Runeterra cinematics first then decide whether you want to proceed with their other cinematics.
5:03 it's seem you don't saw Jinx
3:43 I would say it's quite the opposite. Ekko and Viktor are probably the most loved by fans characters outside Jinx and Vi (and maybe Silco). To the point that I would actually call them overrated. Don't get me wrong, I love them, I love all Arcane characters, but in terms of character writing and contribution to the story Viktor and Ekko are not among the best characters in my opinion.

If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of , I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with their song Gods & Gold
Ekko is definitely not underrated he is more bad ass then Jinx and Vi
Underrated might not be the right word, I suppose I meant that he has less screen time than he deserves
Ye react to other cinematics, they're dope
Warriors, specially, from the world tourney at, ugh idk, sometime around the last decade
The Yasuo and Yone one too
I don't remember the other names so yea '-')v

I didn’t mean underrated, I meant more like, not enough screentime

u like viktor ? you earned a sub for that c:
Man did not just call viktor underrated 😭
From the way he phrased it it seems he meant the show doesn't give him and Ekko enough screentime I think?
Edit; yup apparently he confirmed it a few replies above!
Enemy is such a great song without the rap. To me, the rap ruins it.
I'm not even a fan of rap, but that verse fucking MAKES this song. It's incredible.
