My thoughts exactly. I mean, this. This is how they do it for TV shows and movies. Better write to the people who make shitty movies, an example of show don't tell scenes. Especially the Night M. Shyamalan's The Last Airbender.
If there's any medium that needs more show don't tell, it is animation. More specifically anime. I can't express enough how admitting it is to listen to every thought in a characters head, making each episode twice as drawn-out. Is it just down to animators not being actors? Not knowing how to animate a face to convey emotion?
@@tonia2224 This is the shortsightedness of the dim leftist. You'd rather lick the boots of the oppressor than stand and fight.

I'm not big into politics but I at least know that much
I had to come back and watch this after episode two when Vander says “If I hadn’t led us there your parents would still be alive” and then I finally realized what happened in that first scene
@@uzairahmed4197 Yeah pretty much. Well we don't know if it was a war or riot, but either way it got bloody and a lot of people died, including Violet and Powder parent
This still leaves me breathless, and it's scenes like this that pushed me to work in animation. Just amazing visual storytelling here. From Vi's tears to Vander realizing the weight of what's just happened, finally choosing the drop his gauntlets and dedicate his life to the children who are now all alone, the lives he's just ruined accidentally - all done without voice-acting, just music, and facial expressions. It was this scene that proved to me Arcane was going to be great.
@@hahayuck2169 A lesser show would have Vi do a voice over and explain how her parents were killed during a battle. But this proves how much more effective it is to simply show it and let the viewer figure it out by himself
0:01 this is so clever… he’s literally shooting down. So he’s killing someone on the ground, and the fact we can’t even see them means they probably weren’t attacking. Exactly like Jinx did when she shot an enforcer she saw getting back up on the bridge
I really like the parallels between those scenes. In this one she is singing and the next one she is humming the same song, here she is losing her parents and the next she takes another girls parent.
And THAT’S the most heartbreaking part, that it is Vi of all people breaking down violently on the bridge while her sister holds her together. But when Powder suffers a breakdown her sister wasn’t there…
@@matthewcastro2230 that's not really what happened though. U can't forget that both were children, Powder as well as Vi. If it's the scene I'm thinking of then Vi was literally trying to cope another loss that in her eyes was this time caused by her sister. It's a complex feeling because deep down she knows her sister didn't do it on purpose but in that moment it was just too much for her to handle. She hit Powder and realised her mistake and retreated into a close area where she could just process everything without harming her sister. Yes, powder had a breakdown in the meantime but Vi was nowhere near to handle that, in fact she was afraid to hurt her again because she herself isn't in a good mindset, so that's actually rather mature for her to do. It doesn't mean she planned to abandon her, she never planned to, she just needed a moment to process the trauma she just went through. I genuinely think Vi did the best she could in that situation. Sometimes overwhelmed mothers need to step aside and gather themselves because they need to think about what to do next, that often involves letting the child cry a little on it's own. It doesn't feel right of course but everyone is also just human and in the end and Vi was a literal child that needed to grow up faster because she had her sister to take care of. It's a responsibility no child should have, yet she had.
@@anghblack_gamez7744 no no I’m not saying that Vi left her to die, and yes everything you’re saying is definitely true, the scripts say it as well. I was saying that the parallel is heartbreaking, and whether we like it or not, whether Vi likes it or not she pushed Powder away and did have a role in her turning into what she would become
this scene was hard at first watch, but now, after seeing the full series, it hits twice as hard as the first time. and this music... man, THIS is how you open your show!
i went into arcane with really no expectations. i didn’t even watch any of trailers beforehand. i watched it mainly out of my curiosity for the hype it was receiving. any reservations or skepticism i had about this show were gone immediately after watching this scene. the visuals, the animation, the cinematography, and the raw emotion on display had me fucking HOOKED.
The silence after powders soft voice fades truly sells the emotion of this scene… the sadness of losing a loved one, the anger knowing topside caused it, and regret for pushing a rebellion that only led to pain and suffering. All in this scene. Finished the show today.. and it’s definitely a highlight of 2021 in my opinion. Beautiful animation, incredible sound design, amazing Music, and the characters were truly something special.
Dude the first time I've watched this scene I only felt a little sad, like oh poor thing, but now after I've watched all the episodes, every time I see this I cry like a baby :((
Same!!! When I first watched this scene, my stupid brain immediately went like: “Oh! So this must be a story about these two sisters becoming happy!” Only to see the ending and get depressed… But it’s definitely the most beautiful show I’ve ever known…
I have seen this video like twenty times and when the violin swells as Vander drops his guanlets I cannot but cry. A very clear example of how music can elevate an already brilliant scene to the level of masterpiece. Without a single line of dialog, we already already know who all these people are, what are their motivations (even if we lack the details), what they have lost, what they have gained, and on top of that, we half of the people watching the scene have already teary eyes, which is extremely difficult, since emotion comes from attachment to the characters, and we have known them for less than a minute.
This is how you open a show. This show's opening basically tells us all the brilliant things in this show that are to come. Music Animation Visual storytelling Colour palette Cinematography One of my favourite scenes in the whole show.
From this first haunting scene on...especially seeing Vi lose it, making me tear up right along...I just thought "My God, this is going to be one to remember." Glad I wasn't wrong. This show was absolute perfection.
Probably one of the single strongest openings to a show I've seen in a long while. Not a single word of dialogue spoken outside of Powder's singing, yet it tells us everything we need to know, sets up the story and the world, and foreshadows things that are to come later on.
Never played league. Went into this series cold and the first part already got me hooked. The guard with the rifle at the beginning with the singing just gave chills. Like a 'Dishonored' vibe
Prior to rewatching this scene, my go-to moment for attention to detail was *that* scene in episode 3 (in particular, Vi's eye movements during it) - but Vi's obvious effort to avoid breaking down for her sister's sake here is *such* a better, spoiler-free moment to showcase that.
Vi turned out to be an opportunist who joined the very same enforcers who killed her parents and imprisoned her for over 10 years. Powder had been way more coherent than her sister for her hatred against Piltover’s government, no matter if she has become a soldier child
It was Vi's face in this scene that made me realize I was about to watch one of the best animated shows of all time. Boy, was I fucking right. Some of the most quality animation I've seen anywhere.
Here is the thing, I am not a gamer, I don't like any kind of video games, neither I don't watch anime. But I decided to watch this, the reason: I pay for Netflix, and IMDB rating were 9.1 (I rely a lot on IMDB). I had my expectations from the begining, but my expectation were that I won't get bored watching. Starting from this scene, I started to like this show and I knew it is smth serious. What I like the most of this show is that even that they are cartoon, they made their acting so good, you won't even notice that they are acting, and this is a very hard thing to do. It is one of the best TV shows I have ever seen, and the best Netflix original without no doubts. I'd like to see more seasons of this show, but I fear thet they won't keep up to the first season. Great story, great characters development, thrills, great ending, etc.
When you remove dialogue and mix great animation with great visual storytelling and great music, you get arguably one of the greatest openings to anything ever.
One of the best opening scenes in the history of animation. Not a single fucking line of dialogue. The power of directing. Arcane was a masterpiece right from the start.
I've never even played league of legends, and this series was the most well written, lovingly made and revolutionary animated picture ive seen in years. The characters were not only relatable on a human level but also amazing role models as male/female/non binary people in a way I've never seen before and I hope continues into the second series. As an adult it's been a good few years since I've felt anywhere near as inspired as I've been by characters like Vi and Vander to be a better friend/sibling/person and help build understanding for people and circumstances different from my own; in an eerily similar disparate and unjust world. Reminded me that no matter how small and insignificant goodness and kindness might seem in our dark world, it's the reason why such actions mean so much and are so greatly needed to make the world brighter; no matter how small or who by. Bravo Arcane.
la primera escena de arcane es la mejor introduccion a -lugar -personajes -conflicto interno y externo -panorama social que he visto en toda mi vida. Te da absolutamente todo lo que tienes que saber, es una obra maestra.
This reminds me of how incredibly amazing it encapsulates it's own themes just like how they did with The Godfather with it's opening scene. So much EMOTIONS. So much DEPTH
I'm so glad that Riot decided to turn down all the propositions to make league of legends movie. It would have been so much worse if they didn't see to it themselves. Like for example can you imagine that scene with a voice over?
I'll try my best to explain it, but take in mind that my main language is not English, so at first the enforcers were only against the people of the undercity, then after all the things that happened in this series, piltover and it's people and government start to get along with the people of Zaun, and the enforcers are not in war with Zaun but with the criminals that live in piltover or Zaun, no matter where they are from but what they have done, all of this will start after Caitlyn (maybe in the 2nd chapter) is named piltovers sheriff, so knowing that vi and Cait had a really good relationship, vi will become an enforcer (because with Caitlyn as sheriff the purpose of being an enforcer is not to be against Zaun but to be against the criminals that live there)
@@Tiago_Ferrari the problem is vi will most likely not want to be one unless with good motivation, sure Caitlyn is there but that still not enough for to become the very thing her parents were killed by and constantly being harassed over growing years. Maybe if she's thinks it's the best way to find Jinx/Powder cause I'm pretty sure she straight up disappears act the end on of act 3. But then that just brings more problems.
Could be but it would be far more poetic if the enforcer that kills their parents is Marcus. Given how the end of episode 7 mirrors this scene it would just make so much sense.
*My brain* - "Don't fall in love with a father figure that's just gonna die. Don't fall in love with a father figure that's just gonna die!" *Vander appears* *My brain* - "OH NO! HE'S HOT!" T n T
Sorry to ruin the moment, but I thought Vi was a boy while watching this scene and when I later saw her in the next scenes I thought she was a different character
Is it just me or is Powder no as sad as vi when seeing her Dead parents… is it a hint for powders mental Problem ? And the scribbles Are like the Ones powder sees later as jinx
Maybe, but that might be overthinking it. She's a little kid, I don't think she even really understands what's going on. She does feel what it does to her sister though...and she tries to comfort her as much as she can.
After watching season 2, why does Vander have a beard here? This was before he tried to drown Silco, right? He didn't have the beard in that scene. But maybe he shaved between those two scenes, I don't know lol.
Yep this was before , he changed after Felicia death AND Silco too , but Silco stay to his "Zaun Dream " while Vander stay loyal to Felicia to care glr her childs , now Silco probably returns to him asking help to rally a revolution on the bridge again , but the death of Felicia AND being a "parent " Is what matters to Vander now ,you can see this in the "letter scene " Is heavily inplied that Vander just didn't want to go on "revolution mode " anymore
This is true. Sometimes I wonder if people get the real message behind these kind of stories or simply enjoy the stories. It's hard to watch when you think they are based on real lives, wars and that we watch them on our comfortable beds. I guess fiction is a way to mirror life but still I often think about this
@@BlueSky-vd6qh I know and I often feel awful about this. Especially topics we don't speak of that much (human trafficking, organ harvesting, etc). And I think these types of media create this false sense of nuances where we think it's too complex and we can't do anything about it. But truth is some wrongs are wrongs no matter how we look at it, and the way we live comfortably in the west while others live in the gutter outside is just plain wrong. That's why I feel that westerners profit a lot from the misery of poor countries, especially in our fiction. What good have we done, really, when all we did was watch a story and nod. We know, but what next?
I don't even like League, played this because there wasn't anything else interesting atm . God damn, what I would have missed out on if I hadn't click it
Yes this is a poignant scene. But please understand what's really happening here. Vander isn't becoming the hero, he has just become the villain. He's lost the will to fight and in doing so many more will suffer under tyranny. Freedom and Liberty are lost in this scene. There are things worth dying for. He's just lost sight of that. He's traded down. Safety instead of Liberty.
It doesn’t seem as though they were winning the fight, though. And he realized the cost of attempting to obtain freedom and liberty was the slaughter of his people.
The man gave up the dreams he once had to instead raise 4 orphans, practically on his own, while also running a business and trying to keep an entire community both together and safe. That is not a villain. That is a man with a good heart trying to keep those in his care safe.
@@LintuWaterfall-ey9xo The road to hell is paved with good intensions. His “good heart” is typical excuse for a weak man that is unwilling to sacrifice in the fight against tyranny. This silly show even spells it out for you and you still can’t see it. More suffer because of an unwillingness to win. You’ve all been adequately brainwashed to lick the boots of your oppressors. You’re all villains.
As a big sister the way Vi takes in all that horror and shields her sister, and the way powder clings to her, just really hits my heart
Not a single word of dialogue......... yet we the audience understands the gravity of the situation. The perfect example of "show, don't tell".
Yeah very similar to what made "Mad max fury road" a great fucking movie.
My thoughts exactly. I mean, this. This is how they do it for TV shows and movies. Better write to the people who make shitty movies, an example of show don't tell scenes. Especially the Night M. Shyamalan's The Last Airbender.
Well, you got Powder singing. A begging song.
That tells us all we need to know of why Vander and their parents fought.

I had the exact same thought as I watched this scene for the first time
It was at this point Vander realised, no future is worth fighting for if only the dead and the orphaned can inherit it.
@@joesphjoesphson8262 He pulled a reverse Heisenberg

That opening kicked me in the guts, and dissipated all fear I had this would be a kid's show

I'll try my best to explain it, but take in mind that my main language is not English, so at first the enforcers were only against the people of the undercity, then after all the things that happened in this series, piltover and it's people and government start to get along with the people of Zaun, and the enforcers are not in war with Zaun but with the criminals that live in piltover or Zaun, no matter where they are from but what they have done, all of this will start after Caitlyn (maybe in the 2nd chapter) is named piltovers sheriff, so knowing that vi and Cait had a really good relationship, vi will become an enforcer (because with Caitlyn as sheriff the purpose of being an enforcer is not to be against Zaun but to be against the criminals that live there)
@@Tiago_Ferrari the problem is vi will most likely not want to be one unless with good motivation, sure Caitlyn is there but that still not enough for to become the very thing her parents were killed by and constantly being harassed over growing years. Maybe if she's thinks it's the best way to find Jinx/Powder cause I'm pretty sure she straight up disappears act the end on of act 3. But then that just brings more problems.
@@jesusolguin5896 in the game vi is an enforcer, so theres no way she aint going to be an enforcer.
Anyone here after Season 2 Act 2? This is even more heartbreaking to me now
war only understood when it's over
-sorry vander
I like to think that the enforcer that Vander kills was the one who killed Vi and Powder’s parents.
Could be but it would be far more poetic if the enforcer that kills their parents is Marcus. Given how the end of episode 7 mirrors this scene it would just make so much sense.
I agree, Marcus did it
Can't believe they played Imagine Dragons after this scene.
*My brain* - "Don't fall in love with a father figure that's just gonna die. Don't fall in love with a father figure that's just gonna die!"
*Vander appears*
*My brain* - "OH NO! HE'S HOT!" T n T
dilf moment
This opening foretold a good show, end of episode three sealed it as a great show, and somehow, act three put it there with the best
Powder's singing is so cute
this is podwer yet
Their mother has the same head shape as future Jinx. Thin. I wish we could have seen their father also
Ending the harrowing orchestra with a happy jingle feels very "fuck you from the Capitol"
dios que obra de arte
When I first saw the enforcers, I immediately got a sort of “Nazi” vibe from them with the helmets and the brutality. Did anyone else feel the same?
I imagine it was rather intentional
Sorry to ruin the moment, but I thought Vi was a boy while watching this scene and when I later saw her in the next scenes I thought she was a different character
What is powder singing?
Is it just me or is Powder no as sad as vi when seeing her Dead parents… is it a hint for powders mental Problem ? And the scribbles Are like the Ones powder sees later as jinx
Maybe, but that might be overthinking it. She's a little kid, I don't think she even really understands what's going on. She does feel what it does to her sister though...and she tries to comfort her as much as she can.
Anyone else notice that vi’s and powders mother kinda looks like caitlyne a little bit?
What is the song Powder was singing?
Dear friend across the river
In this scene the enforces look like Helgast ripoffs from killzone.
What is the song that powder is singing?
Bro..i also want to get this song or orchestral version..please tell if you got anywhere

This is how I imagine Ukraine next week
At this moment, I picked up my phone and purchased therapy for the upcoming month. I am depressed already but this made it worse.
After watching season 2, why does Vander have a beard here? This was before he tried to drown Silco, right? He didn't have the beard in that scene. But maybe he shaved between those two scenes, I don't know lol.
Yep this was before , he changed after Felicia death AND Silco too , but Silco stay to his "Zaun Dream " while Vander stay loyal to Felicia to care glr her childs , now Silco probably returns to him asking help to rally a revolution on the bridge again , but the death of Felicia AND being a "parent " Is what matters to Vander now ,you can see this in the "letter scene " Is heavily inplied that Vander just didn't want to go on "revolution mode " anymore
Bruh that scene was before Vi was even born, the bridge scene is probably 7+ years later
@@asgo7320 Also ...a Man can Cut his beard lmao
@@halrold7369 No. This scene is before he tries to kill Silco. But he looks older here which is weird.
First comment,like and view.
Does anyone know the name of the song in this scene?
Dear friend across the river
What song is this.
All this happening in Palestinian ,Syria, Iraq,Kashmir etc And people does not care until unless any thing happens to them selves.
This is true. Sometimes I wonder if people get the real message behind these kind of stories or simply enjoy the stories. It's hard to watch when you think they are based on real lives, wars and that we watch them on our comfortable beds. I guess fiction is a way to mirror life but still I often think about this
@@miurtouissi1093 Absolutely right
@@BlueSky-vd6qh I know and I often feel awful about this. Especially topics we don't speak of that much (human trafficking, organ harvesting, etc). And I think these types of media create this false sense of nuances where we think it's too complex and we can't do anything about it. But truth is some wrongs are wrongs no matter how we look at it, and the way we live comfortably in the west while others live in the gutter outside is just plain wrong. That's why I feel that westerners profit a lot from the misery of poor countries, especially in our fiction. What good have we done, really, when all we did was watch a story and nod. We know, but what next?
Yes😢
Ukraine now
I don't even like League, played this because there wasn't anything else interesting atm . God damn, what I would have missed out on if I hadn't click it
Watch the show, you won't regret it.
Yes this is a poignant scene. But please understand what's really happening here. Vander isn't becoming the hero, he has just become the villain. He's lost the will to fight and in doing so many more will suffer under tyranny. Freedom and Liberty are lost in this scene. There are things worth dying for. He's just lost sight of that. He's traded down. Safety instead of Liberty.
It doesn’t seem as though they were winning the fight, though. And he realized the cost of attempting to obtain freedom and liberty was the slaughter of his people.
The man gave up the dreams he once had to instead raise 4 orphans, practically on his own, while also running a business and trying to keep an entire community both together and safe.
That is not a villain. That is a man with a good heart trying to keep those in his care safe.
@@LintuWaterfall-ey9xo
The road to hell is paved with good intensions. His “good heart” is typical excuse for a weak man that is unwilling to sacrifice in the fight against tyranny. This silly show even spells it out for you and you still can’t see it. More suffer because of an unwillingness to win. You’ve all been adequately brainwashed to lick the boots of your oppressors. You’re all villains.
