I liked season 1 very much. I didn't fawn over it like some did, but I still thought it was excellent. I'm fawning over this episode. From the emotional 1st act to the constantly rising political tension to the attack which ratchets up the stakes for at least the 1st arc and possibly the whole season. Perfect first episode and no let down after a great first season! The music as always was on point. I liked the softer version of "Heavy Is The Crown." Wasn't expecting that. Only complaint? Needed more Jinx. (I know that's coming though)
You did great first time you said her name in the show you said Vi not Vee haha You might be on top of it this season Nat!
To all the Edgerunners fans I'm sorry I tried lol
Yay!! So glad to be watching with you! I also think Mel is doing a good job of being fairly nuanced and not too aggro which I appreciate it. Can't wait for the next episode! (and act 2!)
She was closest to the window, but I don't think the rocket would explode on contact with the window, it would probably smash through and hit the other side of the room.
True. But I do wish they gave some mini explanation. Like her dress was specially made armor from noxus. Still a great show don't get me wrong, but it's a bit annoying when the main characters are just perfectly fine when they set them up to die as a cliff hanger spoilers below I also wish that later, when the whole big fight scene here was explained, they would've added a scene to explain why Mel wasn't shot. It would've been so easy and it perfectly lines up with what was explained and shown. Could've just had her mom say "do all this, but don't kill her." And it would've been so great, ik it probably happened, but they should've shown it.
oh yay i’ve already watched act 1 a couple of times and i really love it soooo excited (and scared) for act 2
The only time I’d seen the kind of artwork in this episode anywhere else was Spider-verse, it’s insanely good. Guess that rumour about it being the most expensive animated show ever has some weight THEY DESERVE IT THEYRE USING IT SO WELL PLEASE
Yeah it's one of the greatest shows ever made and it's only getting 2 seasons.
Yay my favorite reactor and my favorite show. It’s a good day. Mel had shimmer shimmer on her back don’t forget and somehow she was hugging him. We don’t know yet but I’m sensing some shenanigans.
I still get blown away by the art style and quality of the animation, there are times I forget I'm not watching a live action show... what a show!!
The first episode had 2 awesome music cues to go with the stunning animation. "I Can't Hear It Now" by Freya Ridings and "Heavy is the Crown", a Linkin Park song sung by Emily Armstrong. When I heard the first song the first time, I first thought it was Amy Lee, lead singer of Evanescence. I don't know if Freya has a powerhouse voice like Amy does, but that song just set the right tone of mourning to begin. The 2nd song was just built up so well. Starting off light and somber, and ramping up to give you goosebumples as the VI reveal and "hero shot" brought it to it's full hard rock vocal fry PEAK! What a great first episode! What a great series! I love how Arcane uses these different animation and artistic styles to tell their story. The opening montage where it's mostly charcoal artistry, with only the main characters being in color, for example. I've seen the other 2 episodes, and they do something different and special each time. Every scene is a work of art. No "filler" or shortcuts. Looking forward to Thursday and Friday for 2nd and 3rd eps!
I don't know if you're a Linkin Park fan, but they have a new singer, Emily Armstrong, and an album coming out this Friday. The 2nd single off of it is called "Heavy is the Crown", the piano version and parts of the actual chorus are what you heard in the episode. Linkin Park teamed up with League of Legends for this.
Really liked Act 1 and looking forward to the next 2 and see how this entire story wraps up 😍
It’s soooo beautiful
Hi Nat, I'm sooooo looking forward to this, 😁. Does anyone know if the first episode has a catchup before the episode?
It did the first time I watched it, but not the second time.
Just finished Act 1 last night and I have so many questions. I really hope they continue the League of Legends franchise after Arcane.
They've announced that they're going to continue with stories from Runeterra, it'll be named something different. Otherwise I think their current focus is on the Valorant related movie set to release in 2025
YYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSS
Happy Wednesday Nat. The countdown has ended and we are good to go! Really looking forward to watching this season with you 😊 Enjoyed your reaction a lot Nat. This episode was full on. Excited for the next one tomorrow 😊
First! Banger of a season so far!!
