I haven't seen the video yet but I will say that I really didn't expect this from you and I am really happy to be surprised. This should be great, Arcane is a great show and your channel is great so this should be fun. Sorry if that was worded weirdly, I'm very sleep deprived right now.
17:02 not Mortius being absolutely flabbergasted after seeing something that was already in season 1 after bragging he watched it multiple times lol. They were fighting Jace and Vi at the factory when Jace killed that green-nose-tube woman's kid
The way Cait leans forward a little to get one last glance of her mom before the casket closes breaks my heart. Also just that shot of her in the intro with the crowned shadow behind her…. Heavy is the crown, be careful what you ask for. A reference to Macbeth also. In fact, there’s a few references in the intro. Jinx with the flag is a reference to Les Mis. Viktor and the mask is Phantom of the Opera. Ambessa on the couch is Julius Caesar. That’s why most of the cast is in simple cloths. They wanted them to kind of feel like they were on a stage, I believe.
Fun fact! In case you didn't know already, all the episodes have slightly different intros! If you check them side by side you'll notice that some scene changes aren't aligned, bc of the impact frames, and every single one has (I think it was) 3 small details that hint what happens in the episode
Jayce making himself small and laying in Mels lap is such a cute character trait! (Huh, both times he does it, they're talk about Viktor 🤔) And the fact Jayce is the one merging Viktor with hexcore because he can't lose him! 😭
fun fact about the color on black and white scene! (8:53) the background is actual charcoal drawings, overlayed by the 3D character models it’s actually so stunning
Sorry Mortius, Arcane is where the canon is being based around now. Arcane WAS canon to itself, not anymore. So whatever happens in the show is now 100% canon
Yes please for the musical analysis...and please when you get there, the medley that was performed at the Game Awards last week was magic and is fully deserving of a watch!
Excited to see yall experience this rollercoaster of a season. I don't see anyone else saying so, every episode intro (Enemy) has slight variations! make sure you watch each one to see what you can catch!
if you guys like theorising, every new episode try to pause when the "glitches" happen in the intro, every intro has new images put during those quick shots
You guys should check out the og version of "Heavy Is The Crown" it's by Linkin Park, it has nothing to do with Arcane, but it would be a pretty insteresting reaction
For a moment I thought you guys were going to react to the music video for Heavy is The Crown and then I remembered the first episode of S2 is also called Heavy is the Crown 😅 Either way, EXCITED!!!!!! Edit: i have to remeber there may be people here who haven't seen season 2, but i have to point out that CASPER DID THE THING AGAIN but I can't say anymore cus SPOILERS
For Casper to enjoy on his own time, the music producer and song writer for Arcane and Riot, Mako, posted videos on RUclips on the making of the Arcane songs and soundtrack! You should check them out!
I'm not sure why I hadn't already subscribed since I love the RWBY reactions, but that little snippet of analysis of the lyrics during Cassandra's burial sealed it. +1 sub
Since you guys are bypassing season 1, I'd love for you to go back and break down the soundtrack for season 1. The full versions of the songs you only hear for a bit are so rich in terms of substance.
I'll clarify without spoilers a point here (because I don't know how far you guy are in at this point). Arcane as a whole is considered canon, specifically the main line story is still canon, but there are 2 stories that happen near the end that are not canon the to the main league universe because of reasons that make themselves pretty clear. That being said, League skins all have their own canon universes (there's one where Jinx is a sailor mon character, and another where she is a space pirate lol) so canon is kinda rough when talking about league. Arcane is kinda its own multiverse variant of the league canon that tries to stick pretty close to the original timeline.
Hearing someone be surprised by the concept of 'cop Vi' and say it's 'out of character' was so funny to hear haha! In the game, she is not only THE cop but she's known for her excessive brutality in this role. Also pls can you avoid saying 'Alexa' and issuing commands in your videos lmaooo
I have to leave another comment to scream about this separately I need Linkin Park to give us a full version of Heavy is the Crown from the show. I love the original, it's so hype. But I NEED THAT BADASS GRIT RAAAH
This is what I’ve been waiting for. I haven’t even watched it yet but this might be enough to get open arms patron as well. I just want to see all of it.
In League Vi has always been portrayed as a Piltover Enforcer, just so you guys know. Also im pretty sure Riot said that Arcane has actually become the new Canon of League of Legends thanks to the tremendous success of the show. Not sure where you guys heard what you claimed about it not being Canon to League. But even if it’s the new Canon that doesn’t mean that they “can’t kill characters that are Champions”, there are playable Champions who are already dead in the Lore…. Like Azir.
This is completely unrelated but if you didn't know, nearly every main character in Arcane has a dedicated official theme or song written for them in League of Legends. Certain parts of the show actually play them in the background for brief moments. For Ekko it was on the bridge when he's holding off Jinx. Meanwhile, Jinx's song "Get Jinxed" plays in her hideout when she's working on the hextech crystal. And finally, Caitlyn's theme briefly plays in this episode when she takes down the chemtech monstrosity.
Loving your reactions guys, especially RWBY and now Arcane, but that background your using in this one, is that from Farscape? Reminds me of one i used in 2020 on zoom I know you two will LOVE season 2, and the season is right in line with your musical analyses
Since you guys are doing Arcane, reactions of League music videos in general would be cool, but I HIGHLY recommend reacting to the Blood Sweat & Tears music video because it has some narrative ties to this season!
It’s funny that you say that Vi being an enforcer seems to be antithetical to her character because in League Vi is a character that basically got so fed up with putting up with police brutality that she ends up joining the enforcers and becoming known for her police brutality.😅 She is the epitome of become what you hate.
KYAAA!!! Arcane reaction!!! Le-gasp! Can we expect League of Legend song reactions too!? Because If so YES!!! They are AMAZING!!!🎉🥳🥰🎆💕🎇💗 My fav being Burn It down,Gods,Legends never die, Phoenix,Still here,Pop star,More,The baddass,Villain(the last four are from the Imaginary LoL K-pop Group KDA).
I don't know if any of you two did see Attack on titan but i feel like you two reacting to it would be kind of funny x) i know both of you probably don't take request but yeah hope you gonna continue to do Arcane here.
Our FULL R/A of the entirety of Arcane Season 2 is ALREADY UP on Patreon! www.patreon.com/openarmsreactions/about

I would absolutely love to see a full musical analysis of the arcane sound track, it's such a work of art honestly
MY WORLDS JUST COLLIDED.
Fucking hype as shit
SAME DUDE

wait that's actually so fucking cool

10:41 in actual league of legends Vi was always an enforcer(and most of her moves were direct references to police brutality)
Yip her actual nickname in league is "the piltover enforcer"
Jayce making himself small and laying in Mels lap is such a cute character trait! (Huh, both times he does it, they're talk about Viktor 🤔) And the fact Jayce is the one merging Viktor with hexcore because he can't lose him! 😭
POWER THROUPLE I FEAR (Every Arcane fan is attracted to Mel or Jayce)
LETS GO, MY FAV REACTORS REACTING TO MY FAVORITE SHOW, I LOVE WHEN MY WORLDS COLLIDE 🙌
Have they looked at season one ? I haven’t seen it on there channels
@Accepting_Reaper they did but they didn't film it since they probably watched it around the time it came out which was like 3 years ago
@ thx
fun fact about the color on black and white scene! (8:53) the background is actual charcoal drawings, overlayed by the 3D character models
it’s actually so stunning
Sorry Mortius, Arcane is where the canon is being based around now. Arcane WAS canon to itself, not anymore. So whatever happens in the show is now 100% canon
HOW DO YOU TWO ALWAYS REACT TO AT LEAST ONE OF MY INTERESTS 😭😭😭
Whaatttt? Didn't even think to expect this :D I am so exited tho, I dont know how ill wait till tommorow
11:31
Thank you for actually prompting the Echo in my room while I watched this
I'd love to see a full musical analysis, I'm so beyond obsessed with the soundtrack from Season 2

I JUST JUMPED IN JOY WHEN I SAW THIS!! My two favorite reaction youtubers reacting to my favorite series ever I AM IN HEAVEN
BROO, one of these days I’m gonna steal Mortius’ entire closet. Save some style for the rest of us dude 😔
Yes please for the musical analysis...and please when you get there, the medley that was performed at the Game Awards last week was magic and is fully deserving of a watch!
OMG WHAT?! Din't ever expect for you guys to react to arcane?! First time watching for us? Thank you🥺🥺🥺
Excited to see yall experience this rollercoaster of a season.
I don't see anyone else saying so, every episode intro (Enemy) has slight variations! make sure you watch each one to see what you can catch!
Theres definitely enough meat in this season's soundtrack for a full analysis, it deserves it
23:35
Well… he did it again…
ARE YOU GOING TO DO THE FULL SEASON?????????
Might wanna read the pinned comment lol😁
17:31 the foreshadowing is about to become wicked😈😈😈 ahahahahahaha
if you guys like theorising, every new episode try to pause when the "glitches" happen in the intro, every intro has new images put during those quick shots
You guys should check out the og version of "Heavy Is The Crown" it's by Linkin Park, it has nothing to do with Arcane, but it would be a pretty insteresting reaction
This is what we ASKED FOR! 🤩
Honestly watching yall react after having watched the whole of Season 2 is so much fun. 10/10 thrilled yall are doin this
I love when you guys talk about the music and would love to see you guys talk about it more in depth!
I litearlly just finished my first watch through and started rewatching.
this is perfect timing
For a moment I thought you guys were going to react to the music video for Heavy is The Crown and then I remembered the first episode of S2 is also called Heavy is the Crown 😅 Either way, EXCITED!!!!!!
Edit: i have to remeber there may be people here who haven't seen season 2, but i have to point out that CASPER DID THE THING AGAIN but I can't say anymore cus SPOILERS
For Casper to enjoy on his own time, the music producer and song writer for Arcane and Riot, Mako, posted videos on RUclips on the making of the Arcane songs and soundtrack! You should check them out!
OMG I LOVE ARCANE
The soundtrack deserves to have its own separate videos. The music is phenomenal.
I'm not sure why I hadn't already subscribed since I love the RWBY reactions, but that little snippet of analysis of the lyrics during Cassandra's burial sealed it. +1 sub
Perfect timing, I became a fan of Arcane after it ended
Since you guys are bypassing season 1, I'd love for you to go back and break down the soundtrack for season 1. The full versions of the songs you only hear for a bit are so rich in terms of substance.

ARCANEARCANEARCANEARCANEARCANEARCANEARCANE!!!!!
me when all my fandoms keep colliding with this channel. first epic, then rwby, now arcane, lets fucking GO
Holy shit! I was not ready for this!
WHAT???? I JUST- WHAT??? MY HYPERFIXATIONS JUST COLLIDED
I have to leave another comment to scream about this separately
I need Linkin Park to give us a full version of Heavy is the Crown from the show. I love the original, it's so hype. But I NEED THAT BADASS GRIT RAAAH

You guys should make a music and lyrics analysis of the songs of Arcane!
OH THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOOD!!!!!!!
Alright I hope in some future Arcane content y'all know this show has EPIC written all over it and Gays of course
AHHH THE ARCANE VID IS FINALLY HERE YES!!🗣️🔥🔥
ARCANE REACTION??? WE’RE WINNING!!
LET’S GO IT WAS A DREAM FOR YOU TWO TO REACT TO THIS
Loving your reactions guys, especially RWBY and now Arcane, but that background your using in this one, is that from Farscape? Reminds me of one i used in 2020 on zoom
I know you two will LOVE season 2, and the season is right in line with your musical analyses
Gonna miss not having RWBY Tuesdays for a few weeks but I’m so here for this.
Power couple being mentioned is so real. This whole show is full hot characters (some)
A musical analysis would be amazing. Can't wait for you guys to hear Sucker and Paint The Town Blue
Get you a man who looks at you like Mortius looks at Caspar when he's doing music nerd shit 😂💖
Since you guys are doing Arcane, reactions of League music videos in general would be cool, but I HIGHLY recommend reacting to the Blood Sweat & Tears music video because it has some narrative ties to this season!
OMG YESSSSSS MORE ARCANE ISNT DEAD 😂😂❤❤❤
AHHH I CANT WAITTTT!!!
Honestly, the music of this season is incredible. I'd love to see you guys listen to just the music by itself, no visuals
Heya guys I'm a biggest fan of Epic the musical :)
OMG YES!! Christmas came early
TWO MASSIVE UNVIERSES JUST COLLIDED
It’s funny that you say that Vi being an enforcer seems to be antithetical to her character because in League Vi is a character that basically got so fed up with putting up with police brutality that she ends up joining the enforcers and becoming known for her police brutality.😅 She is the epitome of become what you hate.
i just had to do a double take seeing this on my recommended. LETS GOOOO
THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED
It actually got changed from non-canon to beeing the canon lore for Runeterra/League of Legends
May the god of time and goodness of wind guide you😂❤ 😊
This is what you asked for
In my opinion, the music in Season 2 is superior to Season 1. So you guys will have a good time listening to the new songs :)
KYAAA!!! Arcane reaction!!! Le-gasp! Can we expect League of Legend song reactions too!? Because If so YES!!! They are AMAZING!!!🎉🥳🥰🎆💕🎇💗
My fav being Burn It down,Gods,Legends never die, Phoenix,Still here,Pop star,More,The baddass,Villain(the last four are from the Imaginary LoL K-pop Group KDA).
please do a full musical breakdown, there is so much good music and theming and story beats m in this show
I started choking when he called noxus an “African inspired county”. My guy, noxus is Germany
AGGHGHGHHHHHHH THIS IS LITERALLY MY DREAM
According to some. The coal art in the beginning was real hand painted art.. Hope it is true.
I need them to watch Alien Stage 😢😢😢
I don't know if any of you two did see Attack on titan but i feel like you two reacting to it would be kind of funny x) i know both of you probably don't take request but yeah hope you gonna continue to do Arcane here.
Common Mike Shinoda W
I'm surprised Casper has seen season 1😂
You missed 2 'ifs' on the counter, lmao.
My question is, why don't you just do what you did with all the Ruby songs where you go through them and look at them closer individually
Omg!
OH MY GOD YALL WATCHING ARCANE???? YIPPEEE
who else wants to see them react to animation vs animator?
my presonal picks for reaction stuff are AvA/AvM, and Sleep Token
OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT I CANT EXPRESS MY HAPPINESS
LIKE HOW AND WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN
I CANT I AM NEVER GOING TO STOP SCREAMING
Can you guys react to Dragon Prince??
playing league while watching this. can confirm, worst game ever made-but fuck is it fun (been playing for like 4ish years now)
