Warriors was such a good song and hype when it happened, glad they came back to flip the nostalgia and endorphins in my head to make this song and video godlike
Thank you Riot for getting Imagine Dragons back. Warriors will always be one of our best LoL memories, can't imagine a better artist for Riot's new Chapter.
They even made animations for this music video that doesn’t include scenes in the series. The amount of work and effort put into Arcane is just superbly amazing and jaw dropping! *chef’s kiss*
After rewatching the serie, this clip really put in perspective the relation Ekko and Powder had before. It reflects that if things would go differently, their relationship could have been like the other universe Ekko was stuck in ep 7.
Honestly this video explains what was missing for the bridge scene The scene didn't feel as complete because they never interacted before, here we see them do
I still think about the ending scene when jinx shoots the rocket and silco says ”We’ll show them, We will show them all” That right there gave goosebumps😬
BUT THEN WHEN JINX AND EKKO ALMOST KILLED EACH OTHER. AND EKKO WAS SAYING HOW SHES DIFFERENT EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ONE OF THE CLOSEST TO HER, AND POW IS ON THE MURAL OF PEOPLE LOST. AHHH
@@filo4854 It’s sad, if only Powder didn’t meet Silco and met up with Ekko instead, they wouldn’t have to fight each other. I loved Silco’s character, but I do wonder what amazing things Jinx and Ekko could’ve built together if they were still friends.
That moment when powder fires her finger gun and it does a quick flash to jinx is so sick. The amount of detail they go into even just for a music video shows the prowess and talent of these writers and animators. This effort and passion with focus on even the smallest of details is the exact reason why this show is a masterpiece.
I love how Riot made Jinx so likable through her inner conflicts and guilt. There is no one-faced character in Arcane! Gosh even Silco or Marcus have their good sides.
@@albi24 maybe the way she raised powder thinking what's best for her without actually consulting powder even till it reach the part where she tried to save vi not knowing the consequences of doing so, resulting in many deaths of a loved on, how even though vi tried to believe in powder but in the end she still doubted powder caused insecurities in powder and eventually life long Trauma
@@albi24 @Ata Bima24 and she obviously left her alone after the incident that killed Mylo, Clagger and Vander. She had really good reasons to be mad, but she pushed it way too far. She remains a kid who thought about doing well. She only saw the immediate danger of Deckard trying to destroy the door. It's her time that gave her space fort remorse and understanding, and most likely also the anger of knowing that she was "hold hostage" by Silco.
Thats how real human beings are normally. They arent black or white but different tonalities of grey. Arcane did a good job blending that concept with the fiction of the serie.
I am truly obsessed with the arcane series and this song is just the cherry on the top of it all the amount of thought and effort put into the whole thing is astonishing.
This is such a great song, not only the animation but the lyrics and overall eveything. It really depicts what person jinx/powder is. I love the way they show both jinx and powder together and how powder's development led to jinx being created.
Just realized after watching season 2 how at 1:04 everybody is watching Vi for being so good at punching and no one watching Powder except for Ekko foreshadowing for how Ekko is the only one who will understand and accept Powder the way she is, with all her vulnerabilities. Because he is the only one who knows how she could have been. Vi didn't accept Jinx and Silco didn't accept Powder.
There are so many parallels in this music video, powder and ekko dancing, the bug crawling out of powders mouth like the hexcore orb did, etc. I'm dying over here.
Still one of the best animated series to come out in a long time, not series has made me feel like this in a long time. The fact every character is likable and they all have reasons behind everything they do is truly beautiful, Riot u did amazing with this, what do I expect tho it’s RIOT LMAO. 😭🔥🙏
The series are a masterpiece! The style, the story, the characters, music... Everything is perfect. I can't imagine the insane amount of work put into it, just bravo!!!
@Krzysztof Milański it took them so long because the models, style and everything was from scratch. They developed a custom engine and style for the show. It’ll probably take around 2 and a half years to make a season now.
Just finished the series and it is absolutely terrific. Good blend of comedy and tragedy, the characters are very well written and the dynamics between them don't feel forced or out of place. I also love how they portray each character's viewpoints by using visual queues that match and explain their mentality without using words, from Jinx's manic panic attacks to Jayce's journey from a simple inventor to the man he becomes at end.
Same. I checked it out simply because it was new and the preview Netflix shows when you're hovering over it actually looked really good. Binged the whole series in one night. I actually couldn't believe how much I liked it
The show is a masterpeice. Only 3 episodes already put this show as the greatest portrayal of emotion through animation I've ever seen. Not only that but the world building is insane.
Yep. Nothing but positive reviews from majority folks, but I remember plenty of people complaining because it was gonna be based on Vi and Jinx. So far it's as you said, a Masterpiece.
@@galihriskipratama3631 I do watch alot of TV. All of game of thrones, dark, breaking bad, loki, peaky blinders, the oa, the Expanse, vikings, etc. Arcane is the best animated show this year, right next to Invincible.
The Arcane intro is the only intro I never skipped because of this beast of a song and the Animation. Gave me goosebumps at the start of every episode.
Holy crap, besides the song being an absolute banger, the clip is also insane. Seeing Jinx as a small scared child together with herself as a grown up psycho makes me so hyped for the show. I can't wait to see the whole "Jinx going from little sister to psychopath".
Okay, this officially the coolest music video I have ever scene. The fact that they actually made the band and the rapper into game characters and actually matched Powder's emotional arc with the song, I didn't expect that, usually with these things we just get different cuts of singers and the movie, animated film or game. But this managed to mix them together seamlessly, loved it, thank you.
Imagine dragon is a band that I can completely forget about for like a month, but once I find them again I’m listening to the same song on repeat for at least one hundred hours…
Watched this when I still hadn't watched arcane three years ago. Back here after all this time and after season 2 and now everything makes sense. I also noticed how much they concentrated on Ekko and Powder/Jinx's friendship, which was never really mentioned in the series until ep7 of S2 :>
Just finished watching Arcane. And this soundtrack was deeply engraved in my mind and I know I won't forget it easily. It really fits the series perfectly. 🙌🏻
The fact this has 43 million in a month seems literally impossible but it's not, this show is fire no wonder everybody loves it and this song just ties it all together
@@irlshinjii for me it was normal since they didn't show more about how vander loves both sisters unlike silco I cried over his death since he's sincerely saying Jinx is his daughter
It honestly ties so well into how I view jinx and powder. Like jinx is a protective front and barrier for powder. Because of how powder was treated she grew this front and it was destructive and a harsh wall that grew into a specific personality that often serves to protect powder from the world. Idk if that makes sense tbh
Excited to see Imagine Dragons again but we need to applause the riot music team for making these features. Duckwrth, Thutmose, and now JID; It really feels like every single collaboration that riot seeks out is just 10/10. Absolutely loved it, no better to to be a fan of League of Legends.
God, and the lyrics he put in, it seemed like that was less Jinx talking and more Powder trying to get out. I like the duality of the ending of his verse seeming like it got cut out and didn’t exactly fit perfectly with his last word and the choruses’ first word even though he set it up like that. Like how Jinx is constantly shown to switch and the difference between Powder and Jinx being so jarring and sudden
Well this is my 12th watching this song... And I've been listening to it for 5 hours... And I watched it in 0.25x just to see Jinx giving the shooting pose with her hands to those two Enforcers
Invincible and Arcane really showed the biggest impact they can make on adult animation. Really looking forward to more animated shows like these in the upcoming years
@@badhabbit5777 i think op specifically meant american adult animation, considering theres plenty of good stuff produced in japan. however we've kinda been stuck with subpar comedy here.
The fact that you go from the verse 1 & 2 as jinx's depression into useing J.I.D rap as a audio showing of jinx's total desent into madness just chef's kiss and the final chorus as jinx fully embracing her madness. I'm sorry this couldn't have been written any better. A true masterclass on using music to show emotions & storytelling
Man I'm going to miss this, animation and story like no other. I love the series and this song, they will always be in my heart. Definitely arcane will stay at an important place in the history of art.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR SEASON 2! This show alone surprised the hell out of me. The animation, the emotion the characters has with each other. Vi and Jinx’s torn relationship and the struggles of Piltover. I’m so excited to see where this series goes!
This one of the few opening I don't skip. Arcane already became my favorite 2021 show, not knowing a thing about LOL other than it's been around for a long time and that many gamers consider it highly addictive I can still enjoy the art style, animation, the fights, the music and story, Netflix surprisingly did well on a videogame show from what I've read from fans. Can't wait for Season 2!
Us League players were asking for some kind of show for a very very long time. But even after waiting for so long they exceeded any expectations. Everything has been so well done from the characters, animations, music to everything else
I thought the kids at the start were gonna grow up to be professional Robin Hoods stealing from the rich to help the undercity but I was so wrong (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Just watched the first three episodes................ I have no words to describe it, it was... amazing, but this word falls so short of its true worth. This is a legacy, we have here exactly we all dreamed of since childhood, seeing a game adapted to a "movie". Thank you rito, you pals and gals delivered tenfold.
Also finished watching it. Absolutely loved it. Even though we know a glimpse of what happens to both Vi and Powder via the game, I'm still itching to see more.
It's even better than a movie, the made it a series so they don't have any time restrictions and it shows, everything flows perfectly, I loved every minute of it and I'll be rewatching it soon
@@atahualpaarias1840 And it's even better than a normal show as you can see there is a real background and everything is living in the universe cause they have been thinking it for ages.
After watching the whole series through, I am amazed. I’ve never played league at all, but I still loved Arcane. Powder/Jinx is such a weird, cool, badass character.
i feel like most ppl have had the same experience. I've never played league and I thought the show would be too nerdy. Turns out I'm addicted to it and one of my fav shows now. Wish I watched it sooner so I could talk abt it with friends lmao
It feels so nostalgic to have imagine dragons doing another League song. Their performance during worlds 2014 was truly something special. Also: great to have J.I.D. with them. Love his style.
2:49 I love how powerful that transition from Powder to Jinx and in her possession form looks. Jinx even sings along the part "Spare the Sympathy" while her eyes turn purple. Just 😭🤌🏻💕
@@kreshav3189 That's the best part, the 3d models and the textures are so well done that it looks like traditional animation, except for the backgrounds that are normal 2d animations, the characters are 3d
I listen to this song very often and just tonight did I realized what the true meaning behind it. Apparently this is Powder reminiscing the memories she had with Vi. Explains why Vander is nowhere to be found in the bar. This is Powder's final moments before she embraces "Jinx". She felt alone and had to fend for herself "Everybody wants to be my enemy", she did what she had to do to survive. All this time I thought it was nothing more than music video.
@@Nymphonyy a fictional character is made from real people with real feelings and emotions.In that sense,you could say you get attached to the realness of them
This song is a perfect fit for the story that ARCANE tells. Imagine Dragons' unique sound is exactly what this series deserves. If they change the song for season 2, I hope they get Imagine Dragons to do the new one.
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!! It just fits so inexplicably well with the show. Imagine Dragons have always made songs that get stuck in my head, and I don’t even listen to them like that. Don’t really think anyone else would be able to have a good song that is perfect with Arcane’s chemistry! Shout out to JID too! One of my fav rappers so seeing him in a show of a game I’ve spent thousands of hours playing is like WTFFFF
This video made me interested in Arcane. I've never played LOL before, but after watching this I got curious, and boy did I end up loving it. Too bad it's over.
As someone who has never played Lol, i enjoyed watching the series it also made me wanna play the game myself. These are the things a lore can do to games. It just adds flavors and the rivalries in the game itself.
If you don't have friends who actively play league, just play Legends of Runeterra. It has a much stronger connection to the lore than the main game and it'll save you a lot of nerve cells (and money). Although Arcane skins for the main game are dope, yeah.
I will die by praising JID. Man might be the most underrated artist oat. If you haven’t already, listen to The Forever Story. It came out in 2022 and already revered as a classic.
Dream collab for me - huge fan of both Imagine Dragons and LoL and the animation is unreal! If anyone's interested in new indie rock / indietronica I've just release a song too ruclips.net/video/4v1hXVNmrYk/видео.html would love to know what you guys think
The marriage between the voice of imagine dragon and Ado is excellent. A female voice in this music comes to perfect it and make the whole sublime. Bravo to them for this masterful collaboration. Looking forward to the Ado concert in June in Paris
Man, the band looks so cool with that style. The animation is pretty cool and the video had a good direction. First Mercury and then this, you guys don't stop delivering.
@@pinkpanther8147 what!? i like how he/she just saw a glimpse of what Riot could do and goes "its pretty cool", hope they goes into the rabbithole of it and saw many of those "pretty cool" animation
The fact that the video actually helps building up the characters and reinforces the backstory of the serie is amazing. There's a lot of needed background for Powder And Ekko here. I watched Arcane and this goes straight into the canon of vision for ne. And that's passion and dedication, folks.
I’ve watched this video as a kid because I LOVED the song, it hits deeper now when I’ve watched the whole season 1, deep to my core, I never knew what the animation was at first, but now it’s my whole life
Love how we see extra footage that we don't see in the show. Figure they could be from cut scenes in the early episodes. This music video alone adds so much to the story, a part of it feels essential to watch because of all the information it shows. We never really know what life is like for the characters before the heist, and I think it adds a bit more to characterization Powder than just being a kid with attachment issues who wants to prove herself. Also the fact that Ecco and Powder have no interactions in those first three episodes, but during their fight later on you get the sense they were best friends. Really loved seeing that here.
The whole event, the music and the series just revived what league of legends have meant to me all these years. What a great year to be alive. shout out to Riot and Imagine Dragons you are great guys.
When you decide to watch Arcane, series based on a game, you expect easter eggs,homage and referrence to the game, but instead you get a story with deep layered characters, world building/expanding, political ideals and conflict in moral values. Plus the actions and animation is superb too. Got way more than what you ask for. Well done Netflix
Well in addition to all of the important stuff, you still have TONS of easter eggs in the series, and this is my favorite game for almost 8 years now, so that makes the show just that littlebit more enjoyable.
I only watched this series because of this music video. I've never played league of legends , nor do I ever want to, but watching this series was the best thing that ever happened. The writing, the animation, the art , the attention to detail, the symbolism, the depth of the characters , it's just beautiful.
When Vi is punching I can clearly see the weight she is putting in her punches and the clumsy and less powerful punches of Powder, this is the best animation I have seen in my whole life.
@@BluescreenOS he isnt Ww. there are WAY too many contradictions to their lore. Ww already was already on wherewolf form when he died and already had all the chempunk machines on his body. that isnt Warwick

A solid top 3 for sure, but for me it's Viktor's storyarc that got me the most intrigued in Arcane.

The fact that they actually made the band and the rapper into game characters and actually matched Powder's emotional arc with the song, I didn't expect that, usually with these things we just get different cuts of singers and the movie, animated film or game. But this managed to mix them together seamlessly, loved it, thank you.

Look, I'm happy for you, imma let you finish

Imagine dragon is a band that I can completely forget about for like a month, but once I find them again I’m listening to the same song on repeat for at least one hundred hours…

Jinx protectively standing behind powder at 3:06 makes me more emotional than it should.
Jinx is powder
It honestly ties so well into how I view jinx and powder. Like jinx is a protective front and barrier for powder. Because of how powder was treated she grew this front and it was destructive and a harsh wall that grew into a specific personality that often serves to protect powder from the world. Idk if that makes sense tbh
And it hurts and makes even more sens now after act 2 💔💙🥲

Excited to see Imagine Dragons again but we need to applause the riot music team for making these features. Duckwrth, Thutmose, and now JID; It really feels like every single collaboration that riot seeks out is just 10/10.

God, and the lyrics he put in, it seemed like that was less Jinx talking and more Powder trying to get out. I like the duality of the ending of his verse seeming like it got cut out and didn’t exactly fit perfectly with his last word and the choruses’ first word even though he set it up like that. Like how Jinx is constantly shown to switch and the difference between Powder and Jinx being so jarring and sudden

"I had a crush... Until she started talking to her guns" is I think the correct phrase. But same meaning.

This one of the few opening I don't skip.

Can't wait for Season 2!

THE ANIMATION AT JID'S PART IS SO GOOD WHAAAAAAAAAAA
Just watched the first three episodes................ I have no words to describe it, it was... amazing, but this word falls so short of its true worth. This is a legacy, we have here exactly we all dreamed of since childhood, seeing a game adapted to a "movie".
Thank you rito, you pals and gals delivered tenfold.
Also finished watching it. Absolutely loved it. Even though we know a glimpse of what happens to both Vi and Powder via the game, I'm still itching to see more.
I agree. It’s an interesting plot no doubt
i finished watching the first 3 too, safe to say i’m in tears
It's even better than a movie, the made it a series so they don't have any time restrictions and it shows, everything flows perfectly, I loved every minute of it and I'll be rewatching it soon
@@atahualpaarias1840 And it's even better than a normal show as you can see there is a real background and everything is living in the universe cause they have been thinking it for ages.
After watching the whole series through, I am amazed. I’ve never played league at all, but I still loved Arcane. Powder/Jinx is such a weird, cool, badass character.
Same here never played the game but its my favorite anime next to AOT. Im waiting for wild rift to hit the switch or whatever cant wait to play it
@@negativeTypezero it isnt an anime
i feel like most ppl have had the same experience. I've never played league and I thought the show would be too nerdy. Turns out I'm addicted to it and one of my fav shows now. Wish I watched it sooner so I could talk abt it with friends lmao

Its Ekko?
@@Astra1_14 Nothing confirmed, but the boy really looks like him(plus Ekko has a lot of ties to Vi and Jinx in lore).
Ekko is the only dark skinned with white hair in League
I mean, it's also the boots, pants, shirt, and single glove. And his posing. And his attitude.
Around 1:03 if you stop frame by frame you can see the transition of powder into jinx by the time the firelight flies out of her mouth
It feels so nostalgic to have imagine dragons doing another League song. Their performance during worlds 2014 was truly something special. Also: great to have J.I.D. with them. Love his style.

2:49 I love how powerful that transition from Powder to Jinx and in her possession form looks. Jinx even sings along the part "Spare the Sympathy" while her eyes turn purple. Just 😭🤌🏻💕

@@saintpabloo Ah! Right right (´ . .̫ . `)
I listen to this song very often and just tonight did I realized what the true meaning behind it. Apparently this is Powder reminiscing the memories she had with Vi. Explains why Vander is nowhere to be found in the bar. This is Powder's final moments before she embraces "Jinx". She felt alone and had to fend for herself "Everybody wants to be my enemy", she did what she had to do to survive. All this time I thought it was nothing more than music video.
Exactly
Trop fort
Its unbelievable how emotionally attached one can become to a fictional character 😢
@@Nymphonyy a fictional character is made from real people with real feelings and emotions.In that sense,you could say you get attached to the realness of them
When you put it like that, the visuals at 3:00 make perfect sense-- Powder is submerged in the same way Silco was and emerged a different person
This song is a perfect fit for the story that ARCANE tells. Imagine Dragons' unique sound is exactly what this series deserves. If they change the song for season 2, I hope they get Imagine Dragons to do the new one.
Yeah that would be amazing
@Bella
That better not be a rickroll or ad.
Where can you watch it?
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!! It just fits so inexplicably well with the show. Imagine Dragons have always made songs that get stuck in my head, and I don’t even listen to them like that. Don’t really think anyone else would be able to have a good song that is perfect with Arcane’s chemistry! Shout out to JID too!

This video made me interested in Arcane. I've never played LOL before, but after watching this I got curious, and boy did I end up loving it. Too bad it's over.
i never thought a series based off league of legends (or any game for that matter) could be this good... damn the intro hits hard
Never on intro
What about the Castlevania series?
As someone who has never played Lol, i enjoyed watching the series it also made me wanna play the game myself. These are the things a lore can do to games. It just adds flavors and the rivalries in the game itself.
If you don't have friends who actively play league, just play Legends of Runeterra.
It has a much stronger connection to the lore than the main game and it'll save you a lot of nerve cells (and money).
Although Arcane skins for the main game are dope, yeah.

This is the best marketing strategy I've seen. Make a very very popular series directly tied to your game so people get interested and play.
The way they drew the band and rapper is lit. Also, this song goes so well with the serie. I love both.

Love how we see extra footage that we don't see in the show. Figure they could be from cut scenes in the early episodes. This music video alone adds so much to the story, a part of it feels essential to watch because of all the information it shows. We never really know what life is like for the characters before the heist, and I think it adds a bit more to characterization Powder than just being a kid with attachment issues who wants to prove herself. Also the fact that Ecco and Powder have no interactions in those first three episodes, but during their fight later on you get the sense they were best friends. Really loved seeing that here.

When you decide to watch Arcane, series based on a game, you expect easter eggs,homage and referrence to the game, but instead you get a story with deep layered characters, world building/expanding, political ideals and conflict in moral values. Plus the actions and animation is superb too. Got way more than what you ask for. Well done Netflix
Ikr!
Arcane es un grano de arena en el mundo de lol cada personaje tiene una historia diferente
Well in addition to all of the important stuff, you still have TONS of easter eggs in the series, and this is my favorite game for almost 8 years now, so that makes the show just that littlebit more enjoyable.
The league of legends lore is probably the best part of league itself. Either that or Faker

I only watched this series because of this music video. I've never played league of legends , nor do I ever want to, but watching this series was the best thing that ever happened.
