Please pardon me while I use a very popular animated show as an excuse to ask for more animated shows.

Honestly the only issue with Odyssey getting an adaptation is that Jinx will be a prominent character again (though that could also go in its favour)
The tone of the trailer is such fun and you can really imagine the hijinks woven in with the more serious backstory

[DragoOwl]

🍑 One of the biggest selling points for an Odyssee Show for me would be the interactions of Raast and Kayn. Their banter in the skin is just soooo good. It genuinely feels like even though they are constantly trying to one up one another, like there is also a sense of cammeraderie between the two. (My heart breaks everytime Shadow Assassin Kayn gets a Penta and exitedly tells Raast only to realise he's gone

[MisterSmith]

A Bilgewater animated show in the style of “Arcane” would be fantastic.

“The Ruined King” game actually delved a little deeper into that storyline; and it paints a great picture of what to expect from a character like Miss Fortune (and sort of makes it impossible for such a character not to be voiced by Laura Bailey).

Honestly, though…I can already see the “world” opening up to Noxus: we might get some of the stories from that region sooner rather than later.

Personally, I feel that the key to success in Riot's extended media storytelling is in stories that have not quite been told. A lot of people will talk about The Burning Tides or The Demacian Civil War as great stories, but a show like Arcane flourished with the freedom to add to and remove from the lore without breaking too much stuff. I feel the best option for this would be Swain's rise to power and the formation of the Triferix. You can include Darius and Draven, the arena and blood magic lore from LoR, but you can also expand on The Black Rose and intergovernmental relations with Demacia and the Shuriman tribes, and even leave hints beneath the surface of the corruption brought about by demons and the ever-present shadow of Mordekaiser over the capitol. It would be a show of grand scale and emotional weight to match Arcane, and as an added bonus it would flesh out a culture that will likely play a massive role in the upcoming MMORPG. Sorry for the long comment, loved the video TB, keep at it. See ya.

Your series are great, I watch them all. But seriously, the more “random” content you make “just cause…, ” is the best. Congrats on being such a sick creator. I only found you because I asked frosk if she knew of any creators who focused on creative (besides lore, which is pretty tapped into) and she mentioned your name. I’m so thankful for that exchange. Thanks for all the goodies my dude!

[modalsoul]

As much as a full on arcane-esque series would be amazing, I think an anthology series a la love death and robots could do really well, imagine a self contained horror episode featuring a hamlet of farmers dealing with a rumoured scarecrow that's causing people to disappear left and right. Or even an episode of a soldier climbing mount targon only to eventually fail and perish, imagining themselves at the peak when they've barely touched the summit. Allowing multiple different studios the opportunity explore the world of league and shape it with their own unique forms of storytelling could be very compelling

[KurganMacLeod]

🍑 I'll be honest, my top pick for an Arcane style adaptation would be Mount Targon. You'd have a setting very much like Arcane but distinct from it as well - a different level of technology, lots of smaller villages as opposed to two big cities, and whereas Hextech allows for a more Magitech feel Targon has literal gods (well, Aspects, but that's basically the same thing) throwing down and potentially having DBZ punch fights. It'd also allow Diana's rebellion against the Solari to be more clearly fleshed-out than it is in the lore as of now, and given the Pride Month story from a few years ago Riot don't really have any excuse not to write Leona and Diana as tragic exes, so that'd be fun. And, also, there's a prime opportunity for political intrigue considering Diana essentially kills the College of Cardinals in a Theocracy - what does that do to the political landscape of the Solari, even without the threat of a potential Lunari revolution? I dunno, there's a lot of stories to get out of Targon - granted, the same is true of all the regions of Runeterra except perhaps Noxus in isolation, but still.

[charlestownsend]

As a writer the miss fortune story actually sounds really good, the path to revenge leading into having to then take the position of the person who she spent her life to destroy. It's kind of like where the luke cage show was going before it got cancelled (with him having to become the new crime boss after taking out everyone else to prevent a power vacuum that would lead to a huge gang war putting others in danger) and it's a really interesting concept cause normally the story ends at the revenge as if it solves everything but the next part of the story is actually the more interesting part.

[nebulimes]

I think it’s pretty much unanimous that the Bilgewater Legends of Runeterra short was the best, so imagining an entire show in a similar style would be a dream come true. Getting to see Miss Fortune in action with the rest of The Syren crew like Rafen, Twisted Fate and Graves getting up to their usual antics and seeing what lurks below the waters of Bilgewater sounds amazing

[colpul]

I'd like to see an Arcane style story of the Demacian story with Sylas, Garen, and Lux. That might even make a good candidate for a live action movie or limited series. Explore the conflict Garen has to deal with, exploring Sylas' evolution... just a lot of deep story beats.

[fallenalgon]

I can tell that Skyen wanted to make this video because he wants to talk about the #1 pick. Great video!

[TakiiiTMVODS]

I'm a bit biased, and I know it'll never happen but Neeko and her backstory I think really fits a movie/show aspect. She's practically an orphan forced out of her home, and now she's surviving surrounded by people who aren't like her while she's trying to figure out her next steps in life.

[rosem]

🍑 Arcane is actually what got me looking into LoL lore after knowing absolutely nothing about the game prior to watching it, and it still floors me how much incredible story potential there is in every corner of this universe. How can you look at stories like Miss Fortune, Lux, Rell, Ashe, etc and *not* take advantage of it? Here's hoping that Arcane's success has opened Riot's eyes a bit.
But regardless, thanks for the video!

[Gentleman_Gibbs]

Personally, I would like to see a series covering Demacia and the revolution led by Sylas.

[ingolffenrirsson]

🍑 While I agree that Odyssey desperately needs *something*, your paralleling of Azir and Xerath with Nasus and Ranekton got to me, and I would go wild if we could get an Arcane level adaptation for Shurima.

[jadowdra]

🍑 Burning tides was such a cool event and I would love to see it adapted to a more story focused medium (Ruined King game also made me crave more Bilgewater and Shadow Isles content, it was so good), but I'm also really sold on Odissey 👀(that trailer is so good)

[o.w.]

🍑
Thank you for saying all this. I fully agree with you on Riot's policy, and on the topics of Burning Tides, Shurima (I love my family, & the story of Nasus & Renekton always moves me) & Odyssey.
Please do not feel bad about this kind of "random", casual videos ; I like them a lot.

We NEED a Pantheon story adaptation. An Arcane style adaptation showing the traditions and rites of Targon, while at the same time putting focus on Pantheon's struggles yet showing his will is unbreaking. With every defeat, rising back up stronger, and gaining the courage to overcome everything thrown at him.

[samus]

🍑 Fully agree on every count. There's so much potential to be had in every one of Riot's universes, and I will hope and pray and beg for the day that they do *something* with it

[Vatterju]

🍑 I would give anything for bilgewater's characters to be animated in Arcane style. The idea of Illaoi actually getting a spotlight on her and having new writing that isn't relegated to a side game, but instead out in the open for the broader public to watch? Foaming at the mouth.
It helps that bilgewater is absolutely gorgeous, you can't go wrong with Shadow Over Innsmouth green mist
