[ThinkStory]

What did you think of the first 3 episodes?

[r-xidr]

Anybody else find the intro of episode 3 just awesome? I love how it explained the mystery behind why the Kirammans are such an important family and also explains what gas was used in the prior episode, makes Caitlyn an even better character imo

[straykidsenthusiast]

the lore deepens, so many plot lines and less episodes to go the tension is just intense

1:20 The ventilation system wasn't designed to release toxic fumes from Piltover into Zaun. They were built to remove the toxic fumes from the depths of Zaun and supply clean(er) air to the undercity. Caitlyn and her team just control the flow in order to use the fumes as cover in their raids, and then Jinx reroutes it to send the fumes up into Piltover.

Season 2, so far, has continued the excellence of season 1. The animation, plot points, dialogue, characters and action all just work perfectly. Between this and The Penguin, episodic tv has really hit a high note!

If Zaun & Piltover story is this captivating I can't imagine how the other parts of the Runeterra will be like.

[franciscopalmalafuente]

1:49 you are misinforming what the system was made for. Factories in the fisures were creating toxic gases, and the ventilation system was built to better the air quality down there. It's highly implied that is like that in episode 2.

The evolution was indeed glorious when it comes to Viktor.

[lucabarnardo]

I genuinely thought that the story would’ve remained in exclusively the Piltover bubble but they went full send with these first three episodes. The Black Rose’s direct involvement was a very welcome surprise for a lore nerd like me and I think it serves as yet even more setup for a Noxus-centered sequel.

Also, if you think about it Caitlin and jinx are in the same position (arcane loves to match opposites) they both lost a parent figure and are trying to fill the holes their loss made. Sevika and vi on the other hand are in a position in which everything is falling apart around them and they are probably the only ones who still have some ethos and try to maintain it. Lastly, we can notice another opposite which is the fact that sevika-jinx relationship works unexpectedly while Vi-Caitlin doesn’t(weird isn’t it).

Viktors arc is the one I was looking forward to the most and, my god, it has not disappointed so far. I knew Ambessa would play an important role this season, especially since she got added to lol, but she’s been a pleasant suprise to get us introduced to the rest of Runeterra and holy fk she’s bringing my main with her 😭 “the black rose shall bloom once more”

[Thewhiteandorange]

airtight writing, rich lore, stunning animation, complex, diverse characters, incredible world building. arcane deserves an academy award. it's what the entertainment world has been missing for DECADES.
250 million? money well spent.

An impotant thing to mention, in the hex gate room the corruption on the floor looks a bit like a puddle, and if you remember from season one, Victor bled off the edge of the railing. His blood fell down far below, and I believe this is what is causing the corruption in that room.

When the hexcore was corrrupted it was corrupted from victor's blood as well. It seems that this corruption is not caused by the overuse of hextech, but by biological contamination of hextech.

(Corrupted Hextech also looks less mechanical and mathy and more tendony and biological.)

[madbyinstinct]

Vi getting DA from Cait was not on my bingo card. I love that the writers here ar not afraid of making the characters look bad. Great start 😊

[clanka]

Arcane never fails to hype the fuck out of you and make you feel bad for jinx at the same time

[larionknight]

I think you misunderstood on the vents for the grey part. The Kiramann house hired their architects to vent the fumes OUT of Zaun, the voice in the video Caitlyn was watching has added "Zaunites have the right to breathe".

[austincde]

I'm so excited for Mel and I'm glad she survived. Even judging by the opening credits it seems like she's afraid of being eclipsed by darkness and will shine brightly w magic powers. I'm glad that I'm able to understand this show's plot a little better now cuz sometimes I think I understand but I don't, nice vid

[jalcome]

Cait turning heel was fkin beautiful. From goody two shoes to peacekeeper is boring, so this development i welcome

[AscendantStoic]

Something I'm surprised people aren't bringing up, Viktor at 0:43 was right next to Jayce and Mel is several feet away to right of Jayce, yet when wes start ep1 Jayce and Mel are hugging and Viktor is on the other side of the room half-dead, how!?

I think the first 5 sec of ep1 there is a brief sound of something powering down and the ornaments on Mel's body were glowing bright gold for a couple of seconds, she did something few seconds before the Jinx rocket hit the building (consciously or unconsciously, think Avatar state), she jumped to protect Jayce and whatever she did protected them both but didn't reach Viktor, what's strange is that she never used that power again despite getting attacked twice in ep 1 (once on stage and again in the car), then got kidnapped in ep3 by the Black Rose.

There is definitely something odd going on with Mel that will be revealed later, and most likely she isn't fully aware or in full control of that power .. yet, my guess it has something to do with the Blood, Sweat and Tears music video which shows in a flashback the baby in Ambessa's womb opening their eyes which glow golden (that was definitely Mel before she was born).

If arcane used 200 million dollars to make something this amazing where the hell is the 300+ million Disney is putting into movies that almost nobody likes
