There is no shot of Singed pulling Vander's body in season 1 lol Maybe you're just remembering the part where Singed looks up to the body of transformed Vander hanging in the ceiling in the last episode of season 1.
@@jrc205 If anything this implies that George did a little too much research before this episode came out because I have not seen a single other reactor predict that the monster was Vander as early as he did lol. It could also have something to do with his brief experience playing League in the past, but I bet George read some theories about Vander after season 1 came out too. Either that or he's just intuitive as hell haha
@@acidrain92 I myself know nothing about LoL or its characters, but at the last scene of the season 2 episode 3, to me that big reveal couldn't be anyone other than Vander, I mean it's the same big silhouette he had before he "died" full of shimmer overdose, and storywise it makes more sense to be someone we knew rather than using 3 end scene credit "just" to built up a "random new monster"
gotta love how this show lets the viewers figure things like this out by themselves instead of blatantly stating it within the series via dialogue or a cheesy flashback
"Paint the Town Blue" was sort of a perfect double entendre - blue was the color that the undercity revolution used to symbolize their unrest (due to the color of the legendary Jynx's hair), but it also effectively describes the police state under which they're currently living.
They want to paint each other's town blue, one out of revolution and one out of control, and both lead (at the time) by people with blue hair I never made this conclusion until now lol
They've announced that this season is the end of the current storyline. They will continue telling other stories in the same universe with different characters, however. Arcane has like 10ish characters from the game, and there are over 160 champions in the game, so there's lots of room for more amazing storytelling.
@@69quato Keep in mind they had to build up an animation studio and created 2 episodes that the company wasn't happy with so they redid the story and hired more people. So the 250 mil isn't just for these 18 episodes but other things too.
@@Ejay669 indeed. the animation is pretty cheap, if i'm not mistaken, they said 1/5 of what Pixar and Dreamworks spend on their movies per minute of animation. what they didn't know how to do and the reason they spent so much was promoting the show
The song in Mandarin is so fucking powerful. IDEK the lyrics, I just know the instrumentation and vocal performance, especially combined with that scene, just ripped me apart emotionally.
I see this theory everywhere and I could be wrong but I think people are reading too much into the breath. I rewatched that scene and there's only like two or three shots of Jayce's breath being visible and it's when he's breathing heavy or a super close up shot which we don't get from Salo. Also the fact that Viktor tells Singed/Dr. Revick that he won't sacrifice Vander's humanity has me thinking that he would know if he was killing the people he healed and I don't think that's Viktor's goal. However, I don't think it's entirely a good thing that Viktor is using hextech to heal people and Jayce definitely knows something we don't, but we'll have to wait to see what it is. Just my thoughts.
hey you guys wanna cry some more.? 😭 vanders last word was powder (look after powder) his 1st word regaining consciousness was powder. Vanders last act was hugging vi when he jumped out the building. His 1st act upon snapping back was hugging vi
For George's question at 16:10 : That's complicated. It depends a lot on the game state, the matchup, equipped items, and skill of the player. For instance, an early game Vi can easily handle an early game Jinx. But in the later game when they have equipment and XP levels, Jinx has a better chance of zoning Vi and beating her from a distance. But, if Vi is able to ambush from a hidden position and get the initiative in the fight, she can one-shot Jinx. So each fight is different. It gets complicated and it's only really clear if you try playing. Characters like Vi and Warwick are Assassins or "Junglers" who usually spend the game roaming the map to capture objectives and help other characters get kills after the fight is already started. Jinx is usually an ADC who specializes in maximum damage output. Ambessa and Singed are tanks who soak up damage in team fights and keep aggro as much as possible. Jayce, Victor, Heimerdinger, and Ekko are usually Mid-laners who steadily push the center of the map and roam to assist the other lanes when opportunities arise. These characters usually balance damage output and utility. They also are sometimes used as supports to assist the ADC. I'm by no means a high-level LoL player, so I'm sure that there will be replies to this comment as there is always plenty of debate on characters and their metas. Edit: I forgot to add; I usually play Support so none of my mains are in Arcane. If I had to pick a character from the show, I would say I get the most use out of Victor and Jinx.
Long time League player here, but hardstuck gold/plat, so I'm middle elo? I still consider myself a scrub so take everything I mention with a grain of salt - I really appreciate everything you listed though! I only wanted to add that lore-wise, we can assume Warwick is the outright 'strongest' champion and Ambessa is currently the most 'broken' in-game (newly released champions almost always feel unbalanced given that the community doesn't know how to properly play against with them yet). I say this as an bot lane player, I main Caitlyn when I get to play her as an ADC. Caitlyn has been used quite alot in the recent meta and at the professional level as has Vi, but to support OP's comment, there are many factors that goes into winning a fight.
@@franingegnieri1831 Very true. But he can be overwhelmed if he's ganked by Vi with Jinx supporting and at least one of them has Grievous Wounds equipped. That's what makes the game so great. Any fight can be turned if you make the right decisions at the right time.
One thing that escapes people is there's a brief shot of how Jace sees Viktor's servants and it's really bad. Like bad enough to explain why he turned that guy into goo (notice the color of the goo, too). I'm hoping in act 3 we get to see Jace's story.
43:57 I just realized that the peace sign to the side of the forehead was a sort of family / mom thing! I remember when Ekko and Jinx fought on the bridge in season 1 episode 7, when Ekko was rocking his watch back and forth and it showed a young Powder, she does the same gesture! I didn't notice that little tidbit until now! Nice little detail!
Vi usually wins the 1v1 in the game if she manages to get on top of her because she just oneshots her but Jinx is more of a scaling hypercarry who wins teamfights. It depends on how good the Jinx can space but Vi usually manages to get on top of her in a 1v1 because she has a lot of gap closers. Jinx class is ADC (Attack Damage Carry) which basically is just there to deal the damage and carry teamfights. They deal tons of DPS but are not very tanky which is why they are bad in 1v1s but excel in Team Fights where they get protected. Rictus (The Noxian Goon ) is not in the game but the amulet thingys that he uses are. It is an item called "Kaenic Rookern" which is basically anti-magic.
So, some things to remember in regards to Jayce and Viktor. Jayce was trapped in the Hex dimension for like 6-12 months and whatever he saw there makes him believe that it has to be destroyed. When he emerges and is talking to Salo, Jayce has visible breath while Salo does not (indicating Salo is no longer breathing). So imagine seeing some Cthulhu level, Eldritch horrors for about a year and when you escape, the first person you see is worshipping the horrors that held you prisoner.
2 things, The trailer showing Jinx's new look now makes sense, her new look is based on Isha's look, the pink under eye lines, scribbles all over the outfit, even the sharktooth design on the Hood she wears. Also the cog/gear Victor toyed with, one side corrupted the other side clean, I now believe that was a literal representation of Jinx's state of mind, constantly in flux between being fully Jinx and Powder. But now the Cog/gear has landed corrupted side up, indicating Jinx is now fully broken/in control.
Its indicative of the whole show right really, all of the people that were using Love for good were the ones that lost at the very end. Only the ones using Love for evil currently have the upper hand
I truly believe Jayce did the right thing. Salo either wasn’t breathing or it wasn’t showing in the hex core. I truly think Viktor was planning something terrible, and Jayce destroyed the hexcore like they planned from the start.
I think Act 3 will show us that Jayce had a good reason for what he did. My guess is some time fuckery where he's seen a future where Viktor's hextech version of the cult has spun out of control and become an apocalypse of a kind, so he's held it in him that it's his fault this entire time. He said he wouldn't fail this time, and that failure could be when he didn't let Viktor die when he should have, thus causing all of it from the start.
Warwick proved that he is a force to be reckoned with especially when he entered "The Blood Hunt" but seeing Vi, Jinx, and Isha group hug Vander when he took control after almost killing both Vi and Jinx in a fight made it heartwarming on all levels 🥺😢😭
56:43 - There won't be a season 3. This is the last one. They plan to tell a different story, with different characters, but this one will end in the second season.
It’s tough to say which league character is the strongest, as they’re all good at very different things, and the balance of the game changes constantly. Even if you just want to know who wins 1v1s, that changes drastically based on the state of the game. Power level is also affected by how good the players are. Some characters, like Vi, are uncommonly good at the world class professional level, because of the kinds of team strategies she enables, and how hard it is even for top players to outplay her relatively easy engages. She’s not super top tier for average players, there are better options, but still quite good. She’s probably the best overall, but she loses duels to some of the others, like Warwick (Vander) and Ekko.
@@matiasrostworowski5141 But how about lore-wise? I don't play Lol but for example in Overwatch you could say the same (it's all about context) but if you think only lore-wise you have dudes that control gravity and dudes that have a revolver.
This season ends the Piltover and Zaun arc for Riot's series. The next one looks like the Noxus-Ionia war will be the focus, with Ambessa hiring Singed (in the old lore, Singed is the one who created the chemical weapons Noxus uses in that conflict). Plus, Orianna Reveck (Singed's daughter) plays a role in the war as well.
Rikthus is not a game Character, however the runes that he and Ambesa use to ward of Magic is an Item in the game named "Kaenic Rookern" which gives a Shield warding off Magic based DMG when you have not been in Combat for a while.
Rictus (Ambessa's Right-Hand Man) isn't a champion in the game, but the item/weapon he's wielding is, namely the Kaenic Rookern. According to lore, there are runes that Noxians carve in their weapons to make them more powerful. In League of Legends, this item gives 80 magic resistance, 400 health, and 100% base health regeneration. It is used when tanks want to make them more strong against magic damage champions. Galio, K'Sante, and Malphite. How they utilized this in the show is really neat. The more you know ~~
it was already stablished that everything Ambessa does is for her family, that she's from a nation where strenght is everything (for lore and geographical reasons) and that she's desperated because she already lost 1 son and the Black Rose is on their tail, so she seeks power i wouldn't call her a villain or evil in the slightest, she's definitely an antagonist tho, but, as any person worthy of being called a parent, she's just prioritizing their family over anyone else in this world
There's no season 3 of this story. But they are supposedly carrying on with an as yet untitled third season that will explore other stories in the same world. It's unclear if anything from these two seasons will carry over, such as what's happening over in Noxus, or if it'll be a clean slate of sorts. Let's see how much they can wrap up in the next episodes I guess.
20:47 Most are somewhere between 10 and $20 for skin, but Jinx incoming rumored skin after the finale is going to be like $200. And they are indeed changing the intro slightly. Pretty sure I saw someone on X put all intros next to each others second by second to showcase the changes. 51:16 He's not but his weapon has an item that is in game that is usually used against Magic. Finally, the show will only have 2 seasons. Next Arc is the finale of Arcane. However league will have other shows that revolves around other characters in league of legends.
While losing Isha and Vander in one shot (pardon the pun) is tragic in itself….it is also a much darker, and poetic moment at the same time. Vander was fully aware of what was going on when Warwick was on the rampage….but like a passenger in a car, he was completely unable to control it when it was happening. Imagine being in that situation where you see the carnage “you” are causing, and being 100% helpless to stop it. So when Isha pulled the trigger….she was doing Vander a kindness. The other thing I am wondering now is if Ambessa....despite her "advice" on "professional entanglements", didn't actually put Maddie up to going after Cait. Because I honestly can't see Cait making ANY moves on Maddie otherwise. So Ambessa seems to have used Maddie to "fill the vacuum" she told Vi that she used to control Cait.
Answering your question about which champion from the show is the strongest, the only way to test this would be asking which one wins more 1v1s against the other characters of the show, so for that question i would say Warwick has the best kit of abilities and passives to win a 1v1 due to his absurd amount of healing and his ultimate ability that can suppress u for quite a long time. Although, you gotta take in consideration Heimerdinger, he is able to set 3 turrets and a 4th one thats bigger with his ultimate, if any champion goes inside of his setup, he will be able to win every single 1v1 no doubt. Anyway, its not an easy question to answer, a lot of things should be taken in consideration. I hope this satisfies your curiosity 😄
yes, after Viktor's touch they were not really alive or dead. At the end, Jayce is fighting an eldritch horror that is not natural and it seems he knows it would end bad if it keeps expanding.
I think there's two paths for jinx. She can stay with Violet and reconnect with her or she'll fully give into her belief she's a jinx and become worse than ever for everyone else, with no hope of getting better. Of course, I'd be happy to be surprised. At some point, you really have to wonder if Mylo's right and she really is cursed. While she progressively develops more agency in and responsibility for the tragedies she suffers (ranging from none at all when her parents are killed as a little girl to pulling the trigger that kills Silco as a teen), the universe seems determined to destroy her psyche. Everyone around her may get killed, but having all their deaths on her conscience further drives her mad. However to quote another comment i saw "Jinx lost her emotional support orphan 😭"
There will be no season 3 for Arcane. What we have coming up isn't simply a season finale... it is the SERIES finale. Mind you, with the way Fortiche has done this, it isn't about the show getting canned, I'm confident that they have a story, and the story that they have planned for Arcane is... fundamentally reaching its conclusion in three episodes. Which is both exciting and terrifying, given what they gave us as the ending of act 2. Now, that said, this isn't the end of Fortiche making shows in the League of Legends world. The crazy thing to realize is that this show was made by the company responsible for a lot of the League music videos and cinematics. This is borderline... Riot's in-game animation studio. They're not done. They're not going to be done for as long as there is interest in what they are creating. And, given how AMAZINGLY they did with Arcane... I don't think that anyone is going to want them to stop for quite a long time.
Lorewise, Warwick is the strongest of the main cast, LeBlanc(or Ryze, if it was really him who saved Jayce in Season 1) is the strongest on the cameo champions. Ingame is definetly Ambessa rn, cause Riot's been releasing overbuilt champions for a few years now, and most of the characters that appear in the show are really old. it remains to be seen on what one of the unreleased champions that is a character in the series will be, and how they'll remake one of the main cast(which will be announced next week i think) I don't actually play League anymore, aside from one to two games with 4 friends a month, when we're all home, my main thing is Teamfight Tactics(I think George would enjoy it, Autochess with League champions, changing pieces and theme every 4 months) which now is Arcane themed and has even characters that are not in the game, like Silco, Maddie, and Scar(the bat guy from Ekko's group)
SOOOO... If you wanna play something like this, like League of Legends based, theres a few games they released that are not League called Song Of Nunu: A League Of Legends Story, The Mageseeker: A League Of Legends Story, Ruined King: A League Of Legends Story (my favorite) and Convergence: A League Of Legends Story, highly recommend them.
As for the question of who is strongest in League itself: HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, Janna, the wind spirit mentioned during season 2 ep 3 is one of the most consistantly strong in pro leagues, followed by ekko, Jayce and Vi imo. Lore Wise, Janna is also most likely the most powerful.
the strongest champions we have seen, I won't mention until the show names them. Its those two (there are two) and then Jinx, Caitlyn, and Vi. Unfortunately Singed, Warwick, Heimerdinger and Ekko are kinda meh. If you allow the just released Ambessa, she's by far the strongest. But that's typical of a newly released champion.
The question who is the strongest Champion is hard to answer because they have different roles, Viktor has the highes damage output on both area of attack and single abilities, but against a Warwick or Vi he would get tackled and destroyed with like 1/3 of their life gone. I love all but i think im best off with Jayce because he can snipe and throw enemies back with his hammer.
There is no season 3. They said this will be the final season because the story was meant for 2 seasons. They want to do other LoL characters story though.
in game strongest out of the characters shown so far. it depends. but overall, warwick takes the cake as the most toxic champ you can possibly play. he's strong in all stages, and his healing factor is as good as it seems to be in the show lol. in terms of main - pyke of bilgewater :)
was rewatching the previous seasons reaction in prep for the emotional damage that is act 2 and George brought up something interesting in S1 part 1 that makes it even worse, he was talking about how characters are colour coded with Silco being Purple and then in this part we get the flashback of the girls mother >.
fed LeBlanc might be the strongest in game you havent SEEN her yet, but shes behind the "black rose" shit ekko also might be a contender for strongest, unsure. both him and LB are mage assassins that can oneshot people caitlyn cant locate people as an ability. but warwick CAN- he can see a blood trail leading to low health enemies, similar to what was shown in the show! mel is not a character in the game lol (yet. but idk if there are plans for that either) "how is this [magic] not ruling the world??" fun fact! she, LeBlanc, is controlling some amount of people in highly respected positions around the world :^) Rictus is not a game character lol. well, not league. I'm not sure if hes in Legends of Runeterra (card game)
"Takes silco adopting Jinx to a whole new level" Yeah, shows he was fine murdering his dead friends orphaned kids and only stopped when his narcissism projected onto Powder and made her issues all about himself.
lol people always gaslighting themselves into thinking a cult hive mind is a good thing lol name one time. I wonder if viktor warned these people that if he dies they die?
WW or VI in a 1v1 maybe heimerdinger just because he’s annoying to try and get close to. Jinx needs a teammate close to her otherwise everyone would body her
George: "put the hammer down"
Jayce: "YOU WANT ME TO PUT THE HAMMER DOWN?!"
Heared it in my head IMMEDIATELY
There is no shot of Singed pulling Vander's body in season 1 lol
Maybe you're just remembering the part where Singed looks up to the body of transformed Vander hanging in the ceiling in the last episode of season 1.

People will absolutely be naming their daughters Isha
Hate to break it to you guys, but this is the final season of Arcane. There are plans for other stories though.
The song in Mandarin is so fucking powerful. IDEK the lyrics, I just know the instrumentation and vocal performance, especially combined with that scene, just ripped me apart emotionally.
I read the lyrics afterwards, and it made what happened even more devastating.
My controversial theory is that Jayce's actions are a paradox; by killing Viktor to prevent whatever he saw he is causing those events to occur.
"One often meets his destiny on the road to avoid it." - Master Oogway
47:40 its the crystal he had on a leather bracelet. whatever happened when he was sucked into the hexcore caused it to straight up melt into his flesh
Someone pointed out that you can see Jayce's breath down in the hextech, but not Salo's. Salo was already dead.
I see this theory everywhere and I could be wrong but I think people are reading too much into the breath. I rewatched that scene and there's only like two or three shots of Jayce's breath being visible and it's when he's breathing heavy or a super close up shot which we don't get from Salo. Also the fact that Viktor tells Singed/Dr. Revick that he won't sacrifice Vander's humanity has me thinking that he would know if he was killing the people he healed and I don't think that's Viktor's goal. However, I don't think it's entirely a good thing that Viktor is using hextech to heal people and Jayce definitely knows something we don't, but we'll have to wait to see what it is. Just my thoughts.
No dude I just finished another reaction and now I HAVE to watch this one and cry AGAIN! Damn you cinebinge!! Damn you!
" He is your dad too " that was my favorite scene from the whole series so far.
And I had the audacity to think this season didn't have the emotional weight of last season . . .
I am an idiot. 😭
Jinx was right, Viktor was a 🍪. He turned everyone to arcane zombies.
hey you guys wanna cry some more.? 😭 vanders last word was powder (look after powder) his 1st word regaining consciousness was powder. Vanders last act was hugging vi when he jumped out the building. His 1st act upon snapping back was hugging vi

These characters usually balance damage output and utility. They also are sometimes used as supports to assist the ADC.

When Sevika took Isha away, you can hear Isha cried "Mama" to Jinx 😞
Vi usually wins the 1v1 in the game if she manages to get on top of her because she just oneshots her but Jinx is more of a scaling hypercarry who wins teamfights. It depends on how good the Jinx can space but Vi usually manages to get on top of her in a 1v1 because she has a lot of gap closers.

the time skip is about 6 months confirmed by the writer Amanda.
The timejump was confirmed to be around 3-6 months, but yeah. That's a long time to be bombarded with...whatever Jayce saw.
It doesn't specifically imply that he isn't breathing. It could be that his breath is cooler than Jayce's due to having a colder internal temperature.

My guess is some time fuckery where he's seen a future where Viktor's hextech version of the cult has spun out of control and become an apocalypse of a kind, so he's held it in him that it's his fault this entire time. He said he wouldn't fail this time, and that failure could be when he didn't let Viktor die when he should have, thus causing all of it from the start.
Warwick proved that he is a force to be reckoned with especially when he entered "The Blood Hunt" but seeing Vi, Jinx, and Isha group hug Vander when he took control after almost killing both Vi and Jinx in a fight made it heartwarming on all levels 🥺😢😭
This show is like shooting an arrow straight up, you dont know who it gonna kill.
56:43 - There won't be a season 3. This is the last one.
They plan to tell a different story, with different characters, but this one will end in the second season.
There is no Season 3 for Arcane, but there will be different stories to tell from Runeterra Universe. Hopefully animatioon from Fortiche!
It’s tough to say which league character is the strongest, as they’re all good at very different things, and the balance of the game changes constantly. Even if you just want to know who wins 1v1s, that changes drastically based on the state of the game. Power level is also affected by how good the players are. Some characters, like Vi, are uncommonly good at the world class professional level, because of the kinds of team strategies she enables, and how hard it is even for top players to outplay her relatively easy engages. She’s not super top tier for average players, there are better options, but still quite good. She’s probably the best overall, but she loses duels to some of the others, like Warwick (Vander) and Ekko.
@@matiasrostworowski5141 But how about lore-wise? I don't play Lol but for example in Overwatch you could say the same (it's all about context) but if you think only lore-wise you have dudes that control gravity and dudes that have a revolver.
That "he is your dad too" made me cry sooo hard.
This season ends the Piltover and Zaun arc for Riot's series. The next one looks like the Noxus-Ionia war will be the focus, with Ambessa hiring Singed (in the old lore, Singed is the one who created the chemical weapons Noxus uses in that conflict). Plus, Orianna Reveck (Singed's daughter) plays a role in the war as well.
Rikthus is not a game Character, however the runes that he and Ambesa use to ward of Magic is an Item in the game named "Kaenic Rookern" which gives a Shield warding off Magic based DMG when you have not been in Combat for a while.
Rictus (Ambessa's Right-Hand Man) isn't a champion in the game, but the item/weapon he's wielding is, namely the Kaenic Rookern. According to lore, there are runes that Noxians carve in their weapons to make them more powerful.
In League of Legends, this item gives 80 magic resistance, 400 health, and 100% base health regeneration. It is used when tanks want to make them more strong against magic damage champions. Galio, K'Sante, and Malphite.
How they utilized this in the show is really neat.
The more you know ~~
16:05 This is such a good scene, all of the enforcers just know Jinx with a gun is less dangerous.
she said, she said the thing
Simone said the actual intro! It must be opposite day today.
it was already stablished that everything Ambessa does is for her family, that she's from a nation where strenght is everything (for lore and geographical reasons) and that she's desperated because she already lost 1 son and the Black Rose is on their tail, so she seeks power
i wouldn't call her a villain or evil in the slightest, she's definitely an antagonist tho, but, as any person worthy of being called a parent, she's just prioritizing their family over anyone else in this world
The writers of the show have said long ago that there will only be 2 seasons.
There's no season 3 of this story. But they are supposedly carrying on with an as yet untitled third season that will explore other stories in the same world. It's unclear if anything from these two seasons will carry over, such as what's happening over in Noxus, or if it'll be a clean slate of sorts. Let's see how much they can wrap up in the next episodes I guess.
20:47 Most are somewhere between 10 and $20 for skin, but Jinx incoming rumored skin after the finale is going to be like $200.
And they are indeed changing the intro slightly. Pretty sure I saw someone on X put all intros next to each others second by second to showcase the changes.
51:16 He's not but his weapon has an item that is in game that is usually used against Magic.
Finally, the show will only have 2 seasons. Next Arc is the finale of Arcane. However league will have other shows that revolves around other characters in league of legends.
26:24
Jinx pulled a Rocky 2 on Vi. Slapping her when she couldn't see it
While losing Isha and Vander in one shot (pardon the pun) is tragic in itself….it is also a much darker, and poetic moment at the same time.
Vander was fully aware of what was going on when Warwick was on the rampage….but like a passenger in a car, he was completely unable to control it when it was happening. Imagine being in that situation where you see the carnage “you” are causing, and being 100% helpless to stop it. So when Isha pulled the trigger….she was doing Vander a kindness.
The other thing I am wondering now is if Ambessa....despite her "advice" on "professional entanglements", didn't actually put Maddie up to going after Cait. Because I honestly can't see Cait making ANY moves on Maddie otherwise. So Ambessa seems to have used Maddie to "fill the vacuum" she told Vi that she used to control Cait.
It's a final season of Jinx&Vi story. But Arcane universe was only started.
Answering your question about which champion from the show is the strongest, the only way to test this would be asking which one wins more 1v1s against the other characters of the show, so for that question i would say Warwick has the best kit of abilities and passives to win a 1v1 due to his absurd amount of healing and his ultimate ability that can suppress u for quite a long time. Although, you gotta take in consideration Heimerdinger, he is able to set 3 turrets and a 4th one thats bigger with his ultimate, if any champion goes inside of his setup, he will be able to win every single 1v1 no doubt. Anyway, its not an easy question to answer, a lot of things should be taken in consideration. I hope this satisfies your curiosity 😄
Well creators said that's gonna be final season, but it doesn't mean they will not do more lore shows with diffrent characters from the game
yes, after Viktor's touch they were not really alive or dead. At the end, Jayce is fighting an eldritch horror that is not natural and it seems he knows it would end bad if it keeps expanding.
What movie is "hi everybody welcome to cinebinge" from?
I think there's two paths for jinx. She can stay with Violet and reconnect with her or she'll fully give into her belief she's a jinx and become worse than ever for everyone else, with no hope of getting better. Of course, I'd be happy to be surprised.
At some point, you really have to wonder if Mylo's right and she really is cursed. While she progressively develops more agency in and responsibility for the tragedies she suffers (ranging from none at all when her parents are killed as a little girl to pulling the trigger that kills Silco as a teen), the universe seems determined to destroy her psyche. Everyone around her may get killed, but having all their deaths on her conscience further drives her mad.
However to quote another comment i saw "Jinx lost her emotional support orphan 😭"
I think Jayce saw some crazy shit and is trying to prevent something terrible. The wild rune stuff is giving off some eldritch horror vibes to me.
39:39 arcane approved mug
Episode 5 started and ended with characters getting hammered
Nice.
As far as I know, the big dude is just a goon, and maybe enough gold for Warwick's next item.
There will be no season 3 for Arcane. What we have coming up isn't simply a season finale... it is the SERIES finale. Mind you, with the way Fortiche has done this, it isn't about the show getting canned, I'm confident that they have a story, and the story that they have planned for Arcane is... fundamentally reaching its conclusion in three episodes. Which is both exciting and terrifying, given what they gave us as the ending of act 2. Now, that said, this isn't the end of Fortiche making shows in the League of Legends world. The crazy thing to realize is that this show was made by the company responsible for a lot of the League music videos and cinematics. This is borderline... Riot's in-game animation studio. They're not done. They're not going to be done for as long as there is interest in what they are creating. And, given how AMAZINGLY they did with Arcane... I don't think that anyone is going to want them to stop for quite a long time.
Definitely watch the official video for Isha's Song, it's amazing.
I'll be interested to see if they'll do what I think they'll do with Ekko and Heimerdinger.
"Cait. If you switch sides, I'll spit on you."
26:43 My head canon is that it's all blood, but he has a significantly stronger reaction Singed's blood .
"Hey everybody and welcome to.. Cinebinge."
Me: . . . Wait, what.. just.. happened? Something's turning our Simone normal. We must stop it!
Lorewise, Warwick is the strongest of the main cast, LeBlanc(or Ryze, if it was really him who saved Jayce in Season 1) is the strongest on the cameo champions.
Ingame is definetly Ambessa rn, cause Riot's been releasing overbuilt champions for a few years now, and most of the characters that appear in the show are really old. it remains to be seen on what one of the unreleased champions that is a character in the series will be, and how they'll remake one of the main cast(which will be announced next week i think)
I don't actually play League anymore, aside from one to two games with 4 friends a month, when we're all home, my main thing is Teamfight Tactics(I think George would enjoy it, Autochess with League champions, changing pieces and theme every 4 months) which now is Arcane themed and has even characters that are not in the game, like Silco, Maddie, and Scar(the bat guy from Ekko's group)
SOOOO... If you wanna play something like this, like League of Legends based, theres a few games they released that are not League called Song Of Nunu: A League Of Legends Story, The Mageseeker: A League Of Legends Story, Ruined King: A League Of Legends Story (my favorite) and Convergence: A League Of Legends Story, highly recommend them.
They really change the intro every episode a little bit, so you right.
I'm Team: JAYCE DID NOTHING WRONG
Not him spoiling her the Vander reveal 2 min before it... He couldn't just stfu
As for the question of who is strongest in League itself: HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, Janna, the wind spirit mentioned during season 2 ep 3 is one of the most consistantly strong in pro leagues, followed by ekko, Jayce and Vi imo.
Lore Wise, Janna is also most likely the most powerful.
the strongest champions we have seen, I won't mention until the show names them. Its those two (there are two) and then Jinx, Caitlyn, and Vi. Unfortunately Singed, Warwick, Heimerdinger and Ekko are kinda meh. If you allow the just released Ambessa, she's by far the strongest. But that's typical of a newly released champion.
Now that Ambessa is realease in the game , she's the most powerfull of all by so fcking far , this champ is broken as hell !
The question who is the strongest Champion is hard to answer because they have different roles, Viktor has the highes damage output on both area of attack and single abilities, but against a Warwick or Vi he would get tackled and destroyed with like 1/3 of their life gone. I love all but i think im best off with Jayce because he can snipe and throw enemies back with his hammer.
At this point, it's obvious: my heart is the writers' abused plaything
How do we get George into a quality salon so he can get red tips?
The fact that Isha is Hindu for "one who protects" made me cry even harder at that last scene.
There is no season 3. They said this will be the final season because the story was meant for 2 seasons. They want to do other LoL characters story though.
in game strongest out of the characters shown so far. it depends. but overall, warwick takes the cake as the most toxic champ you can possibly play. he's strong in all stages, and his healing factor is as good as it seems to be in the show lol. in terms of main - pyke of bilgewater :)
You want a happy ending, go to a massage parlour but don't expect one from Arcane.
was rewatching the previous seasons reaction in prep for the emotional damage that is act 2 and George brought up something interesting in S1 part 1 that makes it even worse, he was talking about how characters are colour coded with Silco being Purple and then in this part we get the flashback of the girls mother >.
fed LeBlanc might be the strongest in game
you havent SEEN her yet, but shes behind the "black rose" shit
ekko also might be a contender for strongest, unsure. both him and LB are mage assassins that can oneshot people
caitlyn cant locate people as an ability. but warwick CAN- he can see a blood trail leading to low health enemies, similar to what was shown in the show!
mel is not a character in the game lol (yet. but idk if there are plans for that either)
"how is this [magic] not ruling the world??" fun fact! she, LeBlanc, is controlling some amount of people in highly respected positions around the world :^)
Rictus is not a game character lol. well, not league. I'm not sure if hes in Legends of Runeterra (card game)
They announced this is the last season or at least the end of the story. HOW? I have no idea
"Takes silco adopting Jinx to a whole new level"
Yeah, shows he was fine murdering his dead friends orphaned kids and only stopped when his narcissism projected onto Powder and made her issues all about himself.
1:50 lol
"Spoiling the episode ending for a non-LOL player. Been a good day!"
I'm eagerly awaiting for the boy to break time.
Strongest and my last main with be the man himself Braum.
No season 3 planned. There are other League shows being developed, but Arcane is done.
9 minutes ago is crazy
Welcome back to... CineBinge... What is happening? 😂
lol people always gaslighting themselves into thinking a cult hive mind is a good thing lol name one time. I wonder if viktor warned these people that if he dies they die?
No season 3 but they might do another stories but it will like just be a different title of the series/movie
That Jaycenocyde just prive us why we can't have nice things.
Cait being my favorite character just hurts right now. The scene with Maddie got an audible wtf from me. How she do Vi like that?
with champs in league its not whos the strongest its how you play them but ww can be broken and so can jinx if you smart and fast
So mad george spoiled everything about the wolf before she saw it
Yeah when he said "it's Vander, right?" I was just like DUDE... and had to stop for a minute.
This show beat me up and stole my lunch money.
there is no season 3 for this series, they will probably make other shows in the same universe but this will be the end of the piltover zaun stuff
Vander is Warwick
WW or VI in a 1v1 maybe heimerdinger just because he’s annoying to try and get close to. Jinx needs a teammate close to her otherwise everyone would body her
Ishaaa!
