American here. Your statement is false. Americans are exposed to the metric system, and it's covered briefly that 2m5 cm is an inch. That's all. Science and math are not taught in metric. If metric units are used, it just happens to be part of the formula.

you know, Arcane is really unique in terms of production.
the fact that Riot chose to produce everything in-house instead of hiring professional TV producers who would have curbed everything.
the fact that they trusted a 5-year-old studio with zero TV experience to produce 6 hours of animation.
the fact that they still had no problems with giving the studio such a big budget without even having a distributor.
everything is crazy.
on the day they were chosen by Linke Fortiche basically won the lottery without even having played.
When you put it like that, it's even more impressive that Fortiche was able to pull off something as ambitious as Arcane. Maybe giving a talented and motivated team the resources and freedom to do things their way was the key all along. Who would've thought?
they probably thought it was too distracting.
many schizos are already triggered by the blue and red hair. imagine what it would have been with pink.
also they needed to change her appearance to justify making a new skin.
I could make it but I thought it wouldn't interesting without sound. same for the second part of the fight which is interspersed with commentary shots.
better wait for them to release it in full. there's no reason not to do it since they showed it there.
iirc one animator once said they sometimes disregarded the established heights for the sake of an scene, like here the gap between Cait and Jayce seems way bigger than in the charts
Maybe sometimes they made Powder smaller for dramatic effect

bad guys rapidly change size from "slightly taller than kenshiro" to "size of an office building" and then back

One of the first things you learn in 3d rigging is how to organize the rig so you can freely resize the character
Heck I still remember that interview of a Jim Henson puppeteer where they explained how the first thing they did with a new puppet once was snap its spine so they could have freedom to manipulate its height.
One thing the video really drove home (at least to me) was how passionate Linke and Yee are about writing characters and telling good stories. It's honestly very inspiring, not to mention based. We need more passionate storytellers in the industry.
I want to FRICK Jinx
Would you cuddle and watch cartoons with her afterwards? That's what I would do.
And you'll make sure to remind her of her perfection before, during and after, right? Wipe away her tears, too? Tell her that she did nothing wrong, yeah? If you don't do that stuff, you're a bad boyfriend and you'll wake up to a bouquet of grenades under your pillow.

>lux is 177-180cm >taller than everyone except jayce, cait, and vander, characters the size of a shed >considered average height for a demacian >garen is close to 9ft tall
Demacia is just built different
Petricite is a hell of a drug apparently. Although to be fair Garen is an absolute unit of a man even by Demacian standards. Dude's not just built like a house, man's a whole damn mansion. Crownguard genes don't frick around.
The irony being that Garen is attempting to do exactly with Kat. Although aside from being from Noxus it's not like Katerina would be a bad match for him. Her family has somehow remained essentially a noble house despite living in a meritocracy, so clearly they must be doing something right. And Kat herself is the best knife wielding psycho in a country full of knife wielding psychos, who can apparently keep up with the person shaped tank that is Garen in a fight.
Noxus isn't a pure meritocracy any house that could prove it's worth got to keep their holdings and power Swain and Darius just cleaned house on minor baronies that own vineyards and stuff like that since tax collectors dont need to be nobles. Lady of Blood got to keep her title because she's out there mass producing zombies and the Medarda's would keep their titles because they lead armies.

Food security doesn't seem to be that big of an issue for the undercity if Jinx is the only one that can rightfully be considered short.
Why would it be? Despite everything else Zaun is a port. Food quality is gonna be shit but outside of missing out on fresh fruts and veg they aren't gonna be starving.
Zaun seems to have more issues with pollution than starvation. I mean we see homeless people and beggars so obviously there's a lot of people who can't afford to eat but EVERYONE in the undercity has to deal with the polluted air and water, even the ones who can get food.
Why are white male animators never allowed to make a show about cool white male heroes and instead always have to animate white men as weaklings and idiots who get beaten up, rescued or out played by woman/blacks every episode?
Why did they change the race of the only white male hero form the game that made it into the show to be no longer white?
Why did black woman despite being zero of the lol pro players get 500% times more representation then white men?
>Why did they change the race of the only white male hero form the game that made it into the show to be no longer white?
Viktor and Singed were always white and stayed white.
you're probably refering to Jayce which is as white as the average Amerimutt.
at least watch the show before complaining.
>Why did they change the race of the only white male hero form the game that made it into the show to be no longer white?
Some characters were altered to represent their voice actors. Caitlyn looks like a asiatic now because her VA is asian. Jayce's is a spaniard, so they made him brown. His VA isn't brown, though. So I don't know why they did that.
>Vander, Silco, Singed, Viktor >weaklings >idiots
You're delusional. Even Jayce is more "confused" than weak which makes perfect sense within the narrative. He goes from a student to leader of the Piltover council.

You're talking about french animators, who usually prefer animating cute teenage girls.

What country, what age, post your current work - I'm about to graduate in game design and have been rubbing shoulders with the animators a lot since my school combines the tracks to work on a project they submit to festivals and the like - there's probably hope for you, anon. We're entering the beginning of a renaissance in animation, and that'll likely last like 10 years - there's always heartfelt projects being made, if you're willing to tighten your belt or go indie.
Third world backwater shithole, just entered my late 20s, I don't have any work that's not tied to my real identity elsewhere online. I'm too broke to move countries and even if I could I would never be able to arrange a work visa, I tried online work but no one wants to hire me because of some foreign country tax legalese, it was over before it even started.
I'm doing indie stuff right now and it's a lonely and broke lifestyle, I just want to have a peer group into the same stuff as I am to work with.
WELL your English is fantastic and that goes a lot further than you'd think, and depending on how bad the laws in your country, they're probably pretty bad at tracking any sort of cybercrimes if you don't mind using foreign payment processing so you can begin saving up meaningful money - all I'm really saying is Paypal or Stripe or whatever, but if you target the english-speaking community for your commission work, they're used to paying for American standards of living, and therefore you can make bank if you're in as much of a backwater as you implied. Just pretend you're English, use an english sounding-name, and people will believe you and pay you appropriately.
Creating art separate from your real name is going to be the thing that saves you from your situation, if it's something you want to break out of.

the fact that they still had no problems with giving the studio such a big budget without even having a distributor.
everything is crazy.
on the day they were chosen by Linke Fortiche basically won the lottery without even having played.
When you say it like that it sounds like Riot just blind picked a studio like they pick ranked teammates. Fortiche has been Riot goto animation study from quite a while now.
well yes and no. they had already done 2 video clips with them. but they also had done 2 video clips with Blur. they could've chosen to go with Blur instead. Linke found Fortiche on his own whereas Blur made exec-approved game-related cinematics, were much closer to Riot and had much more experience in general.
or they could have decided that it would be wiser to contact another bigger studio with more TV experience.
I don't play down Fortiche's talent, quite the opposite. that's what convinced them in the end. but there's still a dozen reasons why Riot could have gotten cold feet and say talent is not enough. a professional TV producer would probably never have validated that choice, and even if they had, they would never ever have given them eighty fricking million.
and finally many small studios have talent. Linke could never have found the music clip and never contacted Fortiche in the first place.
I guess this is the best place to post this. So apparently Jason Spisak is being accused of grooming on Twitter because he was discovered to be dating a Jinx cosplayer and shit. It could be bullshit but no more Silco I guess if it turns out to be true.
This. People bringing in "power dynamics" into a consensual relationship between two adults need to frick off. That only applies to underage fans who are given this leeway because their minds haven't fully matured yet.
Here is a Twitter thread about it for those curious. Riot Games always try playing it safe so if they catch wind of it they might just never use Silco again or recast him.
>Riot Games always try playing it safe
Bruh, this company is like half of Korea's economy. I'm pretty sure they pimp out those KDA dancers to politicians on the side. They don't care about discord.
what's really surprising me is that for 10 years they made all this money by only selling skins. and I've read somewhere that only 5% of LOL players are regularly buying skins.
how the frick can they make so much money by selling only skins to only 5% of players?
Like with mobile games, while there is a massive stratum of people who will never spend a cent on your game, there is a small percentage of people who will dump thousands of dollars on your product because their autists with no money skills, yet a seemingly endless supply of disposable income who NEED to own every single cosmetic item and are dumping loads of cash for in game currency whenever there is some event with a limited skin.
LoL is fricking huge. I think it's literally the largest PC game in the world and has been for several years now. 5% of their playerbase is still bigger than what a lot of games get over their entire lifetime.
>I think it's literally the largest PC game in the world
It's not, funilly enough. It never had that title. there's maybe half a dozen chinese and korean made games that have more players globally.

And you ridiotic attempt to try and use twitch views as a metric for player count is even more moronic. You're not very bright, are you? >In fact, those 180 million players are from League of Legends
That's not what Riot said. It includes four other games. Congratulations, you don't even know how to do basic research. Which is doubly funny because this is the same article that you posted in your own image.

Do you mean the games that ran on the same client as League of legends? Congratulations you're moronic. >twitch views as a metric
Using twitch viewership is far more trustworthy as a metric to gauge players' retention of the game. It's much more reliable than relying on a fricking Wikipedia as the basis for your argument where literally anyone can edit the page and just put down bullshit numbers to make your game seems alive. Twitch is the biggest streaming platform in the world and what do you have as a counter to this? absolutely fricking nothing.

First of all, there is just one mobile game. Wildrift was just recently released last year. It couldn't have gained more than half a million players, you stupid frick. Those 180 million monthly players are all from League of Legends (Runeterra, TFT, and LoLwhich run on the same client). Why do you keep embarrassing yourself like this, dotatroony? Is it because you're enraged that your game is dying while League thrives? You are even shamelessly shilling your dead Dota trash game in an Arcane thread on Cinemaphile.

because nobody knows how they did it. other prodctions have the same software, more budget, time, and bigger teams yet they cant even approach that level of quality. it has to be the production strategy, some new way to approached the mix of art and technology that has been revealed only to them. veteran artists have mastered the principles of color light and animation but without a proper breakdown its impossible to know what exactly fortiche discovered.

I feel like there's probably a difference between creating an anatomically correct nude model when you know you're going to show off their nudity, versus going to the same effort when you know you're not actually going to show anything. I assume it's more practical to do the barbie anatomy anyway, because you don't need to put as much effort into hiding everything, especially in reflections.
Not that I'd be complaining, I'm totally down for anatomically correct Caitlyn.
>month and month of hatred toward the show because it's "chink shit" and "French" >suddent ~~*they*~~ gave it an award >OMG USA ANIMATION BABY USA USA USA
Fricking hamburger syndrome.
Get Jinxed predates spiderverse by years and Fortiche has been doing this mixed style of animation decades before it. Arcane is the result of that + the time and money investment Riot was willing to put into it
Arcane was in development before Spider-Verse came out and Fortiche has been making this style of animation since the early 2010s.
If anything Fortiche could've influenced the look of Spider-Verse.
Vi is a musclehead just like Vander. Makes me wonder how Vander was the leader during the bridge massacre. Maybe he was to blame for it more than we initially thought.
I don't think he's that sort of guy. Even his betrayal of Silco I presume was a stupid kneejerk reaction more than anything. It makes sense with the parallel to Vi hitting Powder too in a moment of anger.
He does manipulate people. After the massacre, he kept secret the deal he made with Grayson, maybe even why he tried to kill Silco. For the people who trusted them, he still was the leader who fought for a free undercity, not the sheriff's lapdog.
If you follow the in game lore and not Arcane canon then sometime between being in jail and being free she got bonked and forgot her own name and thinks it's Vi because of the tattoo when it really is Vi(olet)
If you follow the in game lore and not Arcane canon then sometime between being in jail and being free she got bonked and forgot her own name and thinks it's Vi because of the tattoo when it really is Vi(olet)

>Isn't it just that he used to have a crush on her until she went psycho
It's a random in-game line which is not canon to Arcane
Ekko a lil' pacifist gay boy
no, in the first act Ekko has no particular attraction towards Powder.
however he's proud of showing to Claggor the moves Vi has teached him, and he instantly melts down when Vi gives him a stern look.
his reunion with Vi is pure fake facade anger, the kind of which you use to beg for attention.
sure, he hesitated to kill Jinx at the last moment because she used to be a childhood friend, but he did try to hurt her multiple times before.
Ekko's hypothetical crush on Jinx is based on a single moment and a single "they were playing together" flashback, whereas Ekko's admiration for Vi is shown literally as soon as he appears and multiple times afterwards.

It's actually based on a voice line of him admitting to crushing on her until she started talking to her guns
they arent a couple
they have a huge dose of unresolved tension due to being in positions that make it impossible to enter a relationship or even talk about their feelings in a healthy manner, but they do harbor feelings for one another
whether this makes it canon or not depends on your definition
>girl with crippling fear of abandonment >in a healthy relationship
frick off, at best she ties him up in some dungeon to keep him from leaving her like her sister did.
due primarily to two sources, star guardians and the wild rift trailer
but while ekko has known jinx when they were young, lux has not meat jinx at all
even in star guardians, where lux and jinx are childhood friends, ezreal manages to man up in that universe and actually ask lux out and are semi-official
The game has so many lesbian pairings (Diana x Leona, Akali x Seraphine, Akali x Kaisa, Cait x Vi). Someone has to go, who would better pick for this than Jinx herself since she canonically interacts with Ekko and they have bonded during their childhood time at the Zaunite slum.

I like Christian's approach to it. "Does Jinx deserve to be redeemed?" "Idk"
The central theme is the question of whether she should be redeemed or not but the focus is still to write a coherent story around that instead of some moralistic message that gives the answer to you.
I suspect it's the same reasoning they went with for Vander and Silco's past where you get enough clues and their respective perspectives on it but never the actual details on what happened.

Jinx is not going to be paired with anyone. She only cares about Vi and always has. "Timebomb" is never portrayed as anything but one-sided.
When asked about them Amanda said something along the lines of "if only things turned out different" - it's not going to be canon, they're done with each other. Jinx has only ever tried to kill him. Ship what you want but stop trying to convince everyone it has any canon chance when its contradicted by the story entirely.

>Fanny under the baby (?)
"fanny" is a French expression you use when you get a zero score at any game.
in this case, "baby" is the abbreviation of "baby-foot", the fake-English name used in France for table football. it's very popular in schools, bars and offices.
a common practice from old time (that isn't really allowed now for obvious reasons) is that if you ever get "fanny" at the end of a match, you have to crawl under the table while the other team kicks you.
notice there is another post-it with a 10-0 score just to the right, and another one saying "sorry about it", which means that at some point the owner of the office got "fanny" and were gently mocked for it.
tl;dr - this sentence is typical French banter used when you lose a table football with zero points.

If I'm remembering my old old old lore correctly I think J4 just saved her life and she swore to serve him and he accepted, nothing romantic between them but everyone liked to pretend Shyvana, the normally vicious dragon girl, turns into a weak in the knees anime girl around him because it's kind of funny and sweet.
Thinking about it, for a dude who's basically a faction leader J4's had basically no major lore contributions. The most interesting thing that happened with him was when everyone thought he was Leblanc in disguise.

What are you even talking about? That's pairing Lux, and Jinx is going to be the most popular option. If anything that's evidence against timebomb happening. And even if they did do fan-service it will be related to the game, not Arcane.

>Concealing her guns and explosives under daddy's coat
It's what he would've wanted.
Fun possible character dynamics for Season 2?
I kinda like the idea of Vi claiming she was responsible for the attack at the end of Season 1, as a way to try to protect Jinx. That could then give an excuse to have Jinx and Caitlyn team up for a short while in order to "rescue" Vi from execution or some such. I want some proper fun frenemy action. Bonus points given that Jinx did kidnap Caitlyn in the nude that one time.
>I kinda like the idea of Vi claiming she was responsible for the attack at the end of Season 1, as a way to try to protect Jinx.
It made sense when Vi attempted to do a similar thing in Act I because no one, apart from the kids, knew who really caused the explosion in Jayce's apartment. However, by Act III, everyone knows who Jinx is and that her M.O. involves high explosives. Also, Caitlyn wouldn't allow Vi to do something so foolish.
>However, by Act III, everyone knows who Jinx is and that her M.O. involves high explosives.
Not really, at least not depending on who survives the explosion. Most of the people who properly know about Jinx on that side of town (ie. the councilors following Vi and Cait's speech) will be dead, and some of those who remain already have some beef with Vi (eg. Jayce). As far as I can see, there shouldn't be any big issues with scapegoating Vi in place of Jinx, if that's how they want the plot to go.
>Most of the people who properly know about Jinx on that side of town (ie. the councilors following Vi and Cait's speech) will be dead, and some of those who remain already have some beef with Vi (eg. Jayce).
I doubt whatever issues Jayce has with Vi will allow him to believe that she was the one who fired the missile instead of Jinx, the person who she just told him about. He may be naïve at times, but he's not stupid. >As far as I can see, there shouldn't be any big issues with scapegoating Vi in place of Jinx, if that's how they want the plot to go.
Let's say that it happens: Vi somehow manages to convince everyone that she was the person who blew up the Council (probably by using her never-before-seen psychic powers) and is arrested, condemned to die, whatever. Why, then, would Jinx and Caitlyn team up to rescue her? Jinx hates Caitlyn enough to want to kill her and is perfectly capable of acting on her own, assuming she would even want to rescue Vi at that point; Caitlyn could potentially use whatever influence she has as an Enforcer and the daughter of a (now-dead) Councillor to free Vi, without needing to work alongside Jinx. She's done it before.
Now, let's say that, after throwing logic totally out of the window instead of just dangling it over the edge, Jinx and Caitlyn DO team up. Hell, they even manage to rescue Vi. Then what? Is Caitlyn going to magically forgive Jinx for what she's done? Is Jinx going to put aside her deep-seated hatred of Enforcers? Will everyone live happily ever after (for about a week until the Noxians show up)?
>Will everyone live happily ever after (for about a week until the Noxians show up)? >this is exactly what happens >P/Z unite, noxians are defeated with the help of ionian and demacian reinforcements >but while everyone is cheering at their victory and have darius in chains, they are summoned by a rift in the ground >everyone ends up inside a strange valley >booming voice "welcome to summoners rift" >turns into secret wars, where every character is forced to fight each other for the amusement of the summoners
>I doubt whatever issues Jayce has with Vi will allow him to believe ...
He doesn't need to -believe- she's guilty if we're talking about scapegoating her. The actual criticism here is that I don't think his character would be that "evil" to throw her under the bus ... which is why their existing beef might help him along.
>Vi somehow manages to convince everyone that she was the person who blew up the Council (probably by using her never-before-seen psychic powers)
You're massively exaggerating it. The people of the city would be barking for blood, and Vi is a known criminal who has direct ties to everything going on. And isn't it quite the coincidence that all this shit started properly going sideways around about the same time she was sprung from prison? Curious. The public aren't going to be asking too many questions, especially if she's admitting to it.
>Why, then, would Jinx and Caitlyn team up to rescue her?
Because their interests are aligned, and they each have useful skills and knowledge that could help them achieve their goal. There's no reason why they'd have to team up right away either, they could both work towards the problem separately, but then get forced together when shit hits the fan.
>Then what? [...] Will everyone live happily ever after?
You seem to have a weirdly black-and-white way of looking at media. "T-they can't team up unless it solves all of their problems by the end!!" I can think of a bunch of good shows/movies where two enemies are forced to work together to achieve some mutually desired outcome, without it immediately turning into some bullshit love-fest. They don't need to end up as friends, but the conflict is a good opportunity for some character development. The fact that they have beef is what would make the pairing interesting.
All of this seems as if you're working backwards from an idea you had and are trying your best to justify it. I think that Jinx and Caitlyn are more likely to kill each other than work together. And again, that's assuming Jinx would even want to rescue Vi in the first place, because the end of Act III seems to imply that Jinx has given up trying to make Vi see things from her point of view, and Vi has seemingly chosen Caitlyn over her own sister. Also, in your hypothetical, there's nothing stopping Jinx continuing to be a terrorist after everything is said and done. I doubt working alongside Caitlyn just once is going to change her opinion of Piltover and Enforcers.
Some morons actually think Jinx is going to end up with someone in season 2?

I don't think so, the reason I think it'd be a fine option is because I don't think you need to do much/any work to justify it. Everything I've suggested is already in the show.
>And again, that's assuming Jinx would even want to rescue Vi in the first place
Jinx obviously still cares about Vi, the ending of the third act wouldn't make sense if she didn't. Hell, she ended up killing her surrogate father over Vi.
>... and Vi has seemingly chosen Caitlyn over her own sister.
Except -we- know this isn't true. Wouldn't it be interesting if these two characters were forced to interact in a way where this became clear? Maybe it'd help Jinx to realize that everything isn't so black and white, and that she hasn't been "replaced" by an enemy? You know ... a little bit of character development?
>Also, in your hypothetical, there's nothing stopping Jinx continuing to be a terrorist after everything is said and done.
I don't think I've suggested that she would stop? She can care about wanting to rescue Vi, and also still have a vendetta against the city. Hell, their imprisoning Vi would probably help fuel that hatred.
>I doubt working alongside Caitlyn just once is going to change her opinion of Piltover and Enforcers.
As above, I don't remember suggesting that it necessarily would. It could, to some extent, but the degree would depend on what the writers might want to do with the story. Given the level of corruption we've seen, even if Jinx and Caitlyn became BFFs, there's still all the reason in the world for Jinx to hate Enforcers. Hell, Caitlyn herself has beef with them.

All you've really said is "Wouldn't it be cool if...?" and assumed it would even make sense from a story and character perspective. It's practically fanfiction. >Jinx obviously still cares about Vi, the ending of the third act wouldn't make sense if she didn't. Hell, she ended up killing her surrogate father over Vi.
I never said she didn't care about Vi, just that she wouldn't go out of her way to rescue someone who she believes has "changed". >Except -we- know this isn't true.

If character development is what you're really after, then I'm certain there are far less tired means of achieving that.
>I don't think I've suggested that she would stop?
Then that invalidates your point, no? If working alongside Caitlyn is meant to change Jinx's opinion of her, why would she continue to attack Piltover, something Caitlyn wouldn't be cool with? >Given the level of corruption we've seen, even if Jinx and Caitlyn became BFFs, there's still all the reason in the world for Jinx to hate Enforcers. Hell, Caitlyn herself has beef with them.
Jinx's idea of a beef involves explosives and gunfire, and Caitlyn has witnessed first-hand the kind of destruction Jinx can cause. Would Caitlyn be okay with Jinx continuing to bomb people simply because they both dislike the current system?

It would though. I've already explained multiple times why I think it works.

So she cares about her ... but wouldn't have any interest in saving her? ... ok.
>Then that invalidates your point, no?
No? She can come to tolerate one enforcer personally without necessarily liking other enforcers, or the enforcers as an institution. Like I said earlier, it feels like you're being super black-and-white in your thinking.
>Would Caitlyn be okay with Jinx continuing to bomb people
No. But I don't remember suggesting she would be. Again, I'm not suggesting they become best friends, I'm saying that it would be interesting to have them be forced to work together to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome. I think it'd be a good vehicle for some character interaction and development.

I fail to see the issue. Nothing says she has to rescue her sister in such a situation, especially after the events of the last episode. >Like I said earlier, it feels like you're being super black-and-white in your thinking.
And it feels as if you don't understand just how warped Jinx's psyche is. Her working alongside Caitlyn makes zero sense based on what has been established about her. Caitlyn agreeing to work alongside the person who's almost killed her on multiple occasions makes even LESS sense. >I'm saying that it would be interesting to have them be forced to work together to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome.
The outcome being Vi's release, yes? Okay, but that resolves frick-all in the plot. Vi is free and has her name cleared, so what? Jinx is still on the loose. All it seems to do is set-up the status quo in League of Legends, which is exactly what I want them to avoid doing. >I think it'd be a good vehicle for some character interaction and development.

Yes, that's the premise. Two characters who hate each other being forced to work together to achieve a mutually desired outcome. You keep repeating "b-but they don't like each other" as if that's not the premise I'm working with.
>Okay, but that resolves frick-all in the plot.
It'd have pretty big plot implications. Piltover and Zaun are at the brink of war because the leaders of both factions have been assassinated. Vi would be acting as a convenient scapegoat for both parties, helping to keep a troubled peace. Breaking Vi out of prison would obviously disrupt this peace, especially if Zaun can claim that a Pilty was responsible (Caitlyn) and Piltover can claim a Zaunite was responsible (Jinx). There are loads of interesting consequences that could come from all this, there's no reason to assume it'd have to end with some "status quo" thing.
>Vi is free and has her name cleared, so what?

Literally read the very next sentence I wrote. I think the premise I outlined creates an interesting scenario which can then go in multiple different possible directions.

Jinx and Viktor. It's subtle but these two had some parallels in S1. I'm guessing it implies they'll meet up at some point. Maybe after Viktor undergoes his change to become "evil".

Nah. The "enemies" part is not earned enough. Jinx has no reason to hate Ekko and Ekko doesn't even hate her as much as he should. It's just stuck in limbo because Jinx has committed too much evil while he's unable to fully condemn her either.

Oh no, it's moronic.

When you put it like that, it's even more impressive that Fortiche was able to pull off something as ambitious as Arcane. Maybe giving a talented and motivated team the resources and freedom to do things their way was the key all along. Who would've thought?
I kinda hope Vi ends up growing her hair out to be more like this.
they probably thought it was too distracting.
many schizos are already triggered by the blue and red hair. imagine what it would have been with pink.
also they needed to change her appearance to justify making a new skin.
>imagine what it would have been with pink.

iirc one animator once said they sometimes disregarded the established heights for the sake of an scene, like here the gap between Cait and Jayce seems way bigger than in the charts
Maybe sometimes they made Powder smaller for dramatic effect
Doesn't Cait wear heels?
Not particularly high ones but yeah
Still gotta be about three inches so maybe that's part of it.
Makes sense. I like that flexibility.
You'd be surprised how standard it is in the industry to treat character heights as fluid to make a scene look as good as possible.
Clearly
>fist of the north star in a nutshell
bad guys rapidly change size from "slightly taller than kenshiro" to "size of an office building" and then back
often several times within a 10 second period
It's kinda understandable with 2d animation, but not with 3d models.
its less about laziness and more about good shot composition
since the only people who notice/care about inconsistent heights are nerds who are too busy staring at freeze frames
One of the first things you learn in 3d rigging is how to organize the rig so you can freely resize the character
Heck I still remember that interview of a Jim Henson puppeteer where they explained how the first thing they did with a new puppet once was snap its spine so they could have freedom to manipulate its height.
It's not just the height apparently. You see in the BTS episode how they change Jinx's entire facial structure between Powder/soft and Jinx/sharp.
The faces are something else in this, the subtle changes over the course of the series are perfection, you don't even need a doco to tell you that.
>it's evolvin time
Linke has "poetic licence" literally tattooed on his neck.
Absolutely based. This is what poetic license is meant to do. Enhance the story and experience, not to excuse away lazy plotholes.
One thing the video really drove home (at least to me) was how passionate Linke and Yee are about writing characters and telling good stories. It's honestly very inspiring, not to mention based. We need more passionate storytellers in the industry.
Would you cuddle and watch cartoons with her afterwards? That's what I would do.
Before and after, of course
And you'll make sure to remind her of her perfection before, during and after, right? Wipe away her tears, too? Tell her that she did nothing wrong, yeah? If you don't do that stuff, you're a bad boyfriend and you'll wake up to a bouquet of grenades under your pillow.
Yes Silco
I was pretty sure this scene took place before the timeskip, Cait was noticeably taller after iirc.

Good for you anon. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Not for long
The Hextech/Chemtech point of no return is coming and it is going to be beautiful.
but how long before we get blitzcrank?
Glorious revolution
>the bottom becomes a top
Nice
Lol at Mel in the lingerie. Some people at Fortiche had a case of jungle fever and I am glad for it.
Now this is some good stuff. This docuseries is better than I thought it'd be
>tfw they show the music video that convinced Linke to hire Fortiche but cut at the exact moment when the girl removes her top
Riot were already exposed as being a bunch of coomers. ignore everything else they say. this is the real reason why they chosed Fortiche instead of Blur or some other studio.
>Some people at Fortiche
Anon, they are French.
The Frenchcuckshave no part in the grand scheme of a TV show made by the Americans.
Vi being smol and Cait being tol is so cute to me.
>that powder
lucky silco
anyone else think pre-timeskip Vi was hotter? Maybe I just don't like the sidecut
I wouldn't say hotter, but you're right, it's the side cut that makes adult Vi less good-looking
Not that it matters, because Cait is best
I think it boils down to the fact that it's more balanced and you can better see her face (also she doesn't have distracting piercings yet)
You're not the only one.
Time to draw more porn of her.
>185 cm
jezas, Cupcake
>160
Midget tier
Vi being so short is always amusing.
Vi is fat!
>Vi is left-handed and weighs 8,140 lbs with her gauntlets on.
174 cm is not small for women.
Still short
A fully grown adult Jinx is still shorter than Vi was as a teenager.
She's travel-sized.
>lux is 177-180cm
>taller than everyone except jayce, cait, and vander, characters the size of a shed
>considered average height for a demacian
>garen is close to 9ft tall
Demacia is just built different
Petricite is a hell of a drug apparently. Although to be fair Garen is an absolute unit of a man even by Demacian standards. Dude's not just built like a house, man's a whole damn mansion. Crownguard genes don't frick around.
>Crownguard genes don't frick around.
woe be to anyone who tries to dilute their genepool with inferior non-demacian genes
The irony being that Garen is attempting to do exactly with Kat. Although aside from being from Noxus it's not like Katerina would be a bad match for him. Her family has somehow remained essentially a noble house despite living in a meritocracy, so clearly they must be doing something right. And Kat herself is the best knife wielding psycho in a country full of knife wielding psychos, who can apparently keep up with the person shaped tank that is Garen in a fight.
>garen and kat
>lux and ezreal
>shyvana and jarven
irony is rampant
is there anyone else trying to do the same?
It's almost like Demacia is massively hypocritical and has become so repressive and paranoid its actively detrimental to their society.
>attempting to do
heh
It was literally written that they both came back from their "battle" breathless, a battle that no one witnessed.
Noxus isn't a pure meritocracy any house that could prove it's worth got to keep their holdings and power Swain and Darius just cleaned house on minor baronies that own vineyards and stuff like that since tax collectors dont need to be nobles. Lady of Blood got to keep her title because she's out there mass producing zombies and the Medarda's would keep their titles because they lead armies.
didn't Garen being racist against mages in the end managed to drive his own sister away from him, who now lives in exile?
>I have very limited knowledge of LoL-Lore
if she dilutes the genepool with non-demacian genes, he only has himself to blame
>if she dilutes the genepool with non-demacian genes, he only has himself to blame
she seemingly ran away to ionia, where she meets the wannabe mage ezreal and magically-powered blitzcrank
so garen truly messed up here
>Garen: Frick mages
>Lux: okay
>Garen: No, Lux not like that!
Garen and Lux reconciled and she comes back to Demacia and reveals her magic to save the day against Stlas qnd Freljord invaders
Good thing Sylas is Demcian.
>Crownguard genes don't frick around
Of course. Pic related is Garen and Lux's father Pieter Crownguard. No wonder Garen turned out to be an absolute unit.
Waiting for auntie Tiana to get into League
Tiana and Darius is my crack ship, they have interactions in the card game as enemies, and Darius' ex-lover was also a blonde warrior woman
Why isn't Mel wearing shoes?
Vi is a fricking womanlet?

makes sense Zaunites are smaller
shitty living conditions, barely any food, no light and dirty air
if you make it to your tens, you're golden
What are they feeding the kids in P/Z?
Give her and Vi huge breasts
Then I'll watch the second season of your show.
Pilties:
>Mel — 5'8
>Jayce — 6'2
>Cait — 6'1
Zaunites:
>Viktor — 5'8
>Vi — 5'8
>Vander – 6'8
>Silco — 6'0
>Jinx — 5'3
Food security doesn't seem to be that big of an issue for the undercity if Jinx is the only one that can rightfully be considered short.
I don't think they put that much thought into it to matter.
5'8" is short.
Why would it be? Despite everything else Zaun is a port. Food quality is gonna be shit but outside of missing out on fresh fruts and veg they aren't gonna be starving.
Might be worth mentioning Viktor is also a cripple from the toxic fumes where he grew up.
All that industrial runoff and waste polluting their water supply also probably didn't help. Death to Piltover tbh.
It would be cool if Jinx targeted the Hexgate. So many hex crystals stored there would cause a massive explosion at the center of Piltover.
Zaun seems to have more issues with pollution than starvation. I mean we see homeless people and beggars so obviously there's a lot of people who can't afford to eat but EVERYONE in the undercity has to deal with the polluted air and water, even the ones who can get food.

Why are white male animators never allowed to make a show about cool white male heroes and instead always have to animate white men as weaklings and idiots who get beaten up, rescued or out played by woman/blacks every episode?
Why did they change the race of the only white male hero form the game that made it into the show to be no longer white?
Why did black woman despite being zero of the lol pro players get 500% times more representation then white men?
Whose not white anymore?
>Why did they change the race of the only white male hero form the game that made it into the show to be no longer white?
Viktor and Singed were always white and stayed white.
you're probably refering to Jayce which is as white as the average Amerimutt.
at least watch the show before complaining.
>Why did they change the race of the only white male hero form the game that made it into the show to be no longer white?
Some characters were altered to represent their voice actors. Caitlyn looks like a asiatic now because her VA is asian. Jayce's is a spaniard, so they made him brown. His VA isn't brown, though. So I don't know why they did that.
was Jayce white?
>Vander, Silco, Singed, Viktor
>weaklings
>idiots
You're delusional. Even Jayce is more "confused" than weak which makes perfect sense within the narrative. He goes from a student to leader of the Piltover council.
>Why are white male animators never allowed to make a show about cool white male heroes and instead always have to animate white men as weaklings and idiots who get beaten up, rescued or out played by woman/blacks every episode?
Because peeminists won..
>Why are white male animators never allowed to make a show about cool white male heroes
You're talking about french animators, who usually prefer animating cute teenage girls.
Thanks OP
>you will never be a part of the most impressive animation effort of this century

bros..
What country, what age, post your current work - I'm about to graduate in game design and have been rubbing shoulders with the animators a lot since my school combines the tracks to work on a project they submit to festivals and the like - there's probably hope for you, anon. We're entering the beginning of a renaissance in animation, and that'll likely last like 10 years - there's always heartfelt projects being made, if you're willing to tighten your belt or go indie.
Third world backwater shithole, just entered my late 20s, I don't have any work that's not tied to my real identity elsewhere online. I'm too broke to move countries and even if I could I would never be able to arrange a work visa, I tried online work but no one wants to hire me because of some foreign country tax legalese, it was over before it even started.
I'm doing indie stuff right now and it's a lonely and broke lifestyle, I just want to have a peer group into the same stuff as I am to work with.
WELL your English is fantastic and that goes a lot further than you'd think, and depending on how bad the laws in your country, they're probably pretty bad at tracking any sort of cybercrimes if you don't mind using foreign payment processing so you can begin saving up meaningful money - all I'm really saying is Paypal or Stripe or whatever, but if you target the english-speaking community for your commission work, they're used to paying for American standards of living, and therefore you can make bank if you're in as much of a backwater as you implied. Just pretend you're English, use an english sounding-name, and people will believe you and pay you appropriately.
Creating art separate from your real name is going to be the thing that saves you from your situation, if it's something you want to break out of. Under anonymity, you can be whoever you want to be, and meet people who have those same interests. The biggest barrier is usually language, but you've already surpassed that.
you know, Arcane is really unique in terms of production.
the fact that Riot chose to produce everything in-house instead of hiring professional TV producers who would have curbed everything.
the fact that they trusted a 5-year-old studio with zero TV experience to produce 6 hours of animation.
the fact that they still had no problems with giving the studio such a big budget without even having a distributor.
everything is crazy.
on the day they were chosen by Linke Fortiche basically won the lottery without even having played.
When you say it like that it sounds like Riot just blind picked a studio like they pick ranked teammates. Fortiche has been Riot goto animation study from quite a while now.
well yes and no. they had already done 2 video clips with them. but they also had done 2 video clips with Blur. they could've chosen to go with Blur instead. Linke found Fortiche on his own whereas Blur made exec-approved game-related cinematics, were much closer to Riot and had much more experience in general.
or they could have decided that it would be wiser to contact another bigger studio with more TV experience.
I don't play down Fortiche's talent, quite the opposite. that's what convinced them in the end. but there's still a dozen reasons why Riot could have gotten cold feet and say talent is not enough. a professional TV producer would probably never have validated that choice, and even if they had, they would never ever have given them eighty fricking million.
and finally many small studios have talent. Linke could never have found the music clip and never contacted Fortiche in the first place.
Ekko is breeding jinx and turning her into a mom. Will that cure her craziness?
When has producing offspring made any woman LESS crazy?
I don't know. Maybe impregnating Jinx would somehow do the opposite to her mental state.
Don't know, but it's worth a try.
The things I'd do to that.
I guess this is the best place to post this. So apparently Jason Spisak is being accused of grooming on Twitter because he was discovered to be dating a Jinx cosplayer and shit. It could be bullshit but no more Silco I guess if it turns out to be true.
was she a minor?
She is apparently 22, but Jason is a married man with children, which makes it kind of fricked up.
>22
So who gives a frick? that shit only matters in his inner circle of friends/family.
As long as she's of age its nothingburger.jpg
Plus I bet any jinx cosplayer wants his dick, he's not grooming that girl he's helping her be in character
This. People bringing in "power dynamics" into a consensual relationship between two adults need to frick off. That only applies to underage fans who are given this leeway because their minds haven't fully matured yet.
Here is a Twitter thread about it for those curious. Riot Games always try playing it safe so if they catch wind of it they might just never use Silco again or recast him.

Bruh, this company is like half of Korea's economy. I'm pretty sure they pimp out those KDA dancers to politicians on the side. They don't care about discord.
what's really surprising me is that for 10 years they made all this money by only selling skins. and I've read somewhere that only 5% of LOL players are regularly buying skins.
how the frick can they make so much money by selling only skins to only 5% of players?
5% of a billion players is still 20 million people regularly spending like $10 a month
Like with mobile games, while there is a massive stratum of people who will never spend a cent on your game, there is a small percentage of people who will dump thousands of dollars on your product because their autists with no money skills, yet a seemingly endless supply of disposable income who NEED to own every single cosmetic item and are dumping loads of cash for in game currency whenever there is some event with a limited skin.
Riot be practicing whaling
League is literally the biggest PC game in the world, not even Fortnite or Apex Legends combined could hope to beat their streaming numbers.
LoL is fricking huge. I think it's literally the largest PC game in the world and has been for several years now. 5% of their playerbase is still bigger than what a lot of games get over their entire lifetime.
>I think it's literally the largest PC game in the world
It's not, funilly enough. It never had that title. there's maybe half a dozen chinese and korean made games that have more players globally.
Frick off dotatroony. Your game is fricking dead.
I'm not talking about DOTA, you dumbass.
Only dotatrannies would boldly claim that League is not the biggest PC game in the world. League success has been living rent-free inside their head for a decade now.
Probably because it's not. Can you not read?
Seething dotard.
Doesn't take a dotard to be able to look up simple facts.
This also includes all their games, by the way. Not just League. Good job.
>Claim to have gorrilion players
>Earn less than league
DOTASHARTS ON SUICIDE WATCH LMAOOO
Earning less money because of monitization doesn't mean it has less players, moron. Terrible goalpost moving, by the way. And I don't even play DOTA, you're just coping hard. That isn't even the only game I could list right now.
Earning less money only proves that the game is inflated with bots. Nobody in this world even knows that game existed. Look at the streaming numbers, where is the game you called out to have gazillion players? it didn't even make it into the list ROFL. So nice try dotatroon, your garbage game sucked, and you can only cope by hiding behind another dead game as a shield. Pathetic.
So a game popular with the chinese and koreans isn't on twitch's top charts?
Woah...
lol

>here's 180 million players that aren't even all from league, by the way
Lmao, yeah. you're coping hard.
It cost Riot 100 million dollars to make Arcane.
180 million players MONTHLY btw not total registered players (this is excluding the Chinese players) is far more believable than whatever knockoff botted game you're using as a counterargument. In fact, those 180 million players are from League of Legends, Valorant is not part of the Runeterra universe. You don't even know what you're talking about dumbass, go do your research next time dotatroon.
>It cost Riot 100 million dollars to make Arcane.
Uhh cool?
>180 million players MONTHLY btw
Yeah and I posted a game that has more monthly players than that, you just don't want to accept it for some weird reason. They aren't even all from League, by Riot's own admission. And you ridiotic attempt to try and use twitch views as a metric for player count is even more moronic. You're not very bright, are you?
>In fact, those 180 million players are from League of Legends
That's not what Riot said. It includes four other games. Congratulations, you don't even know how to do basic research. Which is doubly funny because this is the same article that you posted in your own image.
https://www.pcgamer.com/with-180-million-players-league-of-legends-games-have-more-active-users-than-steam/
>Yeah and I posted a game that has more monthly players
No, you haven't. You've posted Among us which racked only around 15 million players for PC and then Crossfire a game that grossed less than LoL despite having more "players" which makes the reported number of people playing that game seem fabricated or obviously inflated by bots.
>four other games
Do you mean the games that ran on the same client as League of legends? Congratulations you're moronic.
>twitch views as a metric
Using twitch viewership is far more trustworthy as a metric to gauge players' retention of the game. It's much more reliable than relying on a fricking Wikipedia as the basis for your argument where literally anyone can edit the page and just put down bullshit numbers to make your game seems alive. Twitch is the biggest streaming platform in the world and what do you have as a counter to this? absolutely fricking nothing.
>No, you haven't.
Yeah I did Twice, inf act. And the even funnier part about this is that your 180 million players includes mobile games, while saying other games player metric supposedly don't count because it includes mobile games. Your lack of self awareness is unreal.
>mobile games
>games
First of all, there is just one mobile game. Wildrift was just recently released last year. It couldn't have gained more than half a million players, you stupid frick. Those 180 million monthly players are all from League of Legends (Runeterra, TFT, and LoLwhich run on the same client). Why do you keep embarrassing yourself like this, dotatroony? Is it because you're enraged that your game is dying while League thrives? You are even shamelessly shilling your dead Dota trash game in an Arcane thread on Cinemaphile. Why are you not doing it on /vg/ or Cinemaphile? Are you afraid of being called out on your bullshit?
>there is just one mobile game.
It includes Wild Rift, Runeterra, and Teamfight, whicha re all on mobile. These three games include mobile players in your metrics, confiremed by Riot themselves, which you originally claimed wasn't true. I don't know where you're going with this anymore.
This Dotatroony just keeps bullshitting without providing anything on his end at this point.
https://leaguefeed.net/did-you-know-total-league-of-legends-player-count-updated/
>bullshitting without providing anything
I already posted an article, which you already referenced, stating this. Take your meds, dude.
You're moronic, I have numbers to back up my claim while you're still clutching at nothing. I can see why you're hiding on Cinemaphile like a feeble coward rat. You will be eaten alive with your bullshit if you post anywhere on Cinemaphile or /vg/. Take your Ls dumbass.
> I have numbers to back up my claim while you're still clutching at nothing.
Sure thing, thanks for the schizophrenia confirmation.
Complete non-issue. Looks like a scorned woman trying to flame someone.
How do you groom an adult lmao
People are throwing "groomer" around so much that it's losing its meaning
I'm learning to filter out moronic incredbily generic posts with words like "groomer", "toxic", "Thank you for saying that" etc in real time.
A lot of women never reach the level of mental competence required to qualify as an adult. It's kind of funny because they even treat themselves like children, but they don't have the logical capacity to understand what they're doing even when you spell it out for them.
I always knew something like this was going to happen to moment Jason started to interact with mentally ill women on twitter. It's literally impossible to speak with them because they always pulls crazy shit like this for attention.
>no more Silco
he's already dead. literally dead.
>no more Silco
His only appareance would be as a ghost at most, mate.
He could still show up in places like Legends of Runeterra.
Prequels and flashbacks.
>Temp started noticing little things as the months went on...long periods of inactivity, and kept talking about Jason in a VERY personal manner. At one point they told the gc that they were playing Mario Kart and FNAF together. That's couple shit, not fan and celebrity interactions.
You played Mario Kart with a 22-year old you sick frick
I seriously don't understand the allegations here. So Jason is cheating on his wife and is a sleazebag. What part of this is illegal or offensive?
>At one point they told the gc that they were playing Mario Kart and FNAF together. That's couple shit
I need to re-evaluate pretty much all my friendships now, you never know who might get ideas. Hey, at least I supposedly have a healthy love life.
Oh no, not Mario Kart.
I think he's pathetic for being a fresh divorcee dating women half his age, especially a fan, but in the end who gives a shit.
I'm sure she had some great orgasms listening to daddy silco whisper in her ear but if I were her I would have him relegated to a bootycall, not a serious relationship.
who else he should date? do you even comprehend how used and walled women are at his age?
A 48 year old has nothing to talk about with a 22 year old, whom will dump him once realizing she doesnt want to spend her youth fricking an old man. Unless he's rich, which he's not.
>dump him
for some reason i doubt he was looking for marriage lol
I just can't with this whole doublethink,
people are getting screwed over for drawing lewd pictures or playing mario cart with young women

I wish Fortiche would do a SIGGRAPH talk or something. Lots of artists have tried to break down their style, but none of them go further than
>uh they paint textures
>when she sees my dickpic to when she sees it irl
POG
You'll only get a siggrapg talk if there's some new algo, if it's just art it's gonna be a zbrush talk or something
>Lots of artists have tried to break down their style, but none of them go further than
>>uh they paint textures
that's how you know you have really broken new ground. no wonder they managed to poach French animators back from California.
I really want to see them go into more detail about the lighting. Arcane has some of the best lighting I've seen in a 3D-animated show.
>Lots of artists have tried to break down their style, but none of them go further than
>uh they paint textures
because nobody knows how they did it. other prodctions have the same software, more budget, time, and bigger teams yet they cant even approach that level of quality. it has to be the production strategy, some new way to approached the mix of art and technology that has been revealed only to them. veteran artists have mastered the principles of color light and animation but without a proper breakdown its impossible to know what exactly fortiche discovered.
I feel like there is a bit of "they are just doing the fricking work" to their style.
GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
Caitlyn is the byproduct of AMWF.
They will never show her nude model, right?
Probably not
Would it even matter? It'd be barbie doll anatomy, at best you'd just have nipple-less boobs and the shape of the butt.
counter arguments : It involves French people.
case in point : Wakfu.
watch
and think again.
I feel like there's probably a difference between creating an anatomically correct nude model when you know you're going to show off their nudity, versus going to the same effort when you know you're not actually going to show anything. I assume it's more practical to do the barbie anatomy anyway, because you don't need to put as much effort into hiding everything, especially in reflections.
Not that I'd be complaining, I'm totally down for anatomically correct Caitlyn.
I can't find the image right now but they totally show her breasts in that shower scene
Arcane is a good American animated series. The Americans are saving the western animation industry by creating this masterpiece.

>Chinese-American co-creator and writer
Lmao, and I was wondering how Arcane ended up stealing from a chinese show.
What'd they steal
What?
At any point do they admit they were inspidered by spiderverse?
Get Jinxed predates spiderverse by years and Fortiche has been doing this mixed style of animation decades before it. Arcane is the result of that + the time and money investment Riot was willing to put into it
Arcane was in development before Spider-Verse came out and Fortiche has been making this style of animation since the early 2010s.
If anything Fortiche could've influenced the look of Spider-Verse.
how long before lux and ezreal officially meet in canon?
Soon.

What kind of absolute idiot tattoos their name to their face?
The prison prostitute that’s who.
Vi is a musclehead just like Vander. Makes me wonder how Vander was the leader during the bridge massacre. Maybe he was to blame for it more than we initially thought.
By tricking everybody into believing he still was for the fight, instead of the secret deal he made with the enforcers.
I don't think he's that sort of guy. Even his betrayal of Silco I presume was a stupid kneejerk reaction more than anything. It makes sense with the parallel to Vi hitting Powder too in a moment of anger.
He does manipulate people. After the massacre, he kept secret the deal he made with Grayson, maybe even why he tried to kill Silco. For the people who trusted them, he still was the leader who fought for a free undercity, not the sheriff's lapdog.
If you follow the in game lore and not Arcane canon then sometime between being in jail and being free she got bonked and forgot her own name and thinks it's Vi because of the tattoo when it really is Vi(olet)
which is why they stylized it as a roman number 6 in Arcane.

Jinx and ekko is canon
Isn't it just that he used to have a crush on her until she went psycho
Yes. Jinx has never shown romantic inclinations towards anyone. It's all just crack ships.
>Isn't it just that he used to have a crush on her until she went psycho
It's a random in-game line which is not canon to Arcane
Ekko a lil' pacifist gay boy
>he used to have a crush on Jinx
that's what he wants to make believe
What
his waifu is a Vi lookalike. Ekko secretly fantasized on his redhaired onee-san.
Maybe he switched up to the big sister after he saw his crush go crazy
no, in the first act Ekko has no particular attraction towards Powder.
however he's proud of showing to Claggor the moves Vi has teached him, and he instantly melts down when Vi gives him a stern look.
his reunion with Vi is pure fake facade anger, the kind of which you use to beg for attention.
sure, he hesitated to kill Jinx at the last moment because she used to be a childhood friend, but he did try to hurt her multiple times before.
Ekko's hypothetical crush on Jinx is based on a single moment and a single "they were playing together" flashback, whereas Ekko's admiration for Vi is shown literally as soon as he appears and multiple times afterwards.
It's actually based on a voice line of him admitting to crushing on her until she started talking to her guns
they arent a couple
they have a huge dose of unresolved tension due to being in positions that make it impossible to enter a relationship or even talk about their feelings in a healthy manner, but they do harbor feelings for one another
whether this makes it canon or not depends on your definition

frick off, at best she ties him up in some dungeon to keep him from leaving her like her sister did.
Jinx will frick Ekko in season 2. How would you feel if that scene were to happen?
I’d sooner believe she’d frick Victor
Riot games is a very liberal and progressive company. Who knows, they will make Jinx and Ekko the first interracial pairing in the runeterra universe.
https://www.riotgames.com/en/news/celebrating-pride-with-you
Doubt it, they aren’t going to tie Jinx down to anyone, they might tease shippers but nothing beyond that
Isn't Jinx/Lux more popular than Jinx/Ekko?
due primarily to two sources, star guardians and the wild rift trailer
but while ekko has known jinx when they were young, lux has not meat jinx at all
even in star guardians, where lux and jinx are childhood friends, ezreal manages to man up in that universe and actually ask lux out and are semi-official
The game has so many lesbian pairings (Diana x Leona, Akali x Seraphine, Akali x Kaisa, Cait x Vi). Someone has to go, who would better pick for this than Jinx herself since she canonically interacts with Ekko and they have bonded during their childhood time at the Zaunite slum.
>akali/seraphine
I've never seen that outside of kda grouples, Seraphine gets with Sona or Zeri from what I see
Riot made a comic of these two
https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_AU/comic/kdacomic/issue-1/0/
Then there's also this Twitter post posted by Seraphine (It's not real Seraphine but a Twitter account managed by Riot employees where they pretend to be the character)

>first interracial pairing
They wouldn't even be the first interracial pairing in Arcane. Jayce hooked up with Mel halfway through season 1.
Jayce is POC, he's some kind of a Latinx guy now. So that doesn't count.
I thought he was Spaniard Spanish
Americans branded Anya Taylor-Joy as POC because she was born in Argentina.
I'm specifically pointing out the "latinx" not "POC"
There's a difference?
Yes?

"Interracial" means between races, my guy. He's not black, she is, therefore interracial.
Hell, Caitlyn's parents count too. White woman, asian man. Interracial.
Well if it's not brown men x white girl then it doesn't count.
move those goalposts harder daddy
Riot employees will push Jinx x Ekko ship, you'll see. There's nothing you can do about it.
They even cut out a Jinx-Ekko scene where he attempts to save her from the series. It's not something they're focusing on.
It is a possibility. Some of the things compiled here show that Riot staff are probably not against the idea.
https://imgur.com/a/i2bzjNp
I would imagine a lot of incels would drop Jinx as their waifu the moment Riot revealed her to be a snow bunny.
Judging from the contents of the imgur link, and Amanda Overton revealing how the staff ships them I think it is inevitable.
Naw she is going to get Zigged
Doubt it, it makes zero sense to the canon, he only liked her in the past, she's too looney to get attached anymore
last guy she got attached too died, by her own hands
Just wait for Heimerdinger to do something stupid that alienates Ekko even further, ending up with a team up with Jinx to kick Pitie's ass.
The ship doesn't make sense, but it will happen because Riot deems it so. One way or another, that black boy will frick the blue-haired girl. Such is the way in Riot Games.
Anon at this point you might as well just make an oc to frick jinx, or ekko, whichever you're getting off to
this. the story doesn't call for Jinx to be redeemed with a relationship, let alone with someone from her past.
Jinx doesn't need to be redeemed at all. Killing enforcers, rival hostile gang members, and oligarchs is rad and she should do more of it.
I hereby award you the title of "The Most Based Post ITT".
I like Christian's approach to it. "Does Jinx deserve to be redeemed?" "Idk"
The central theme is the question of whether she should be redeemed or not but the focus is still to write a coherent story around that instead of some moralistic message that gives the answer to you.
I suspect it's the same reasoning they went with for Vander and Silco's past where you get enough clues and their respective perspectives on it but never the actual details on what happened.
Jinx is not going to be paired with anyone. She only cares about Vi and always has. "Timebomb" is never portrayed as anything but one-sided.
When asked about them Amanda said something along the lines of "if only things turned out different" - it's not going to be canon, they're done with each other. Jinx has only ever tried to kill him. Ship what you want but stop trying to convince everyone it has any canon chance when its contradicted by the story entirely.
Tick tock anon
Tick tock
time's ticking
It's not happening unless you want the so-far-pretty-good writing to become awful fanservice. Cope.
I wouldn't bet on it, timebomb it's too much officially shilled to be nothing.
Riot would probably be canceled for trying to make a major female character heterosexual
Fun fact: female heterosexuality is a form of zoophilia.
not if it is interracial.
All they'd have to do is hint she's bi.
>Fanny under the baby (?)
"fanny" is a French expression you use when you get a zero score at any game.
in this case, "baby" is the abbreviation of "baby-foot", the fake-English name used in France for table football. it's very popular in schools, bars and offices.
a common practice from old time (that isn't really allowed now for obvious reasons) is that if you ever get "fanny" at the end of a match, you have to crawl under the table while the other team kicks you.
notice there is another post-it with a 10-0 score just to the right, and another one saying "sorry about it", which means that at some point the owner of the office got "fanny" and were gently mocked for it.
tl;dr - this sentence is typical French banter used when you lose a table football with zero points.
Based, thanks for the explanation
I demand to see bratty teenage Viktor next season.
maybe we have more flashbacks, why else would they make that concept art
>Riot would probably be canceled for trying to make a major female character heterosexual
They just had an entire event where one of the biggest plotlines was a girl trying to get back with her boyfriend.
cute ecoterrorists
Xayah is allowed to be straight because she was invented to be an ADC for boyfriends to make their girlfriends play. And she’s definitely never getting a cartoon.
Too late. Riot is already sending surveys for various champs so they are probably going to resort to fan service of the highest caliber even if it makes no sense.
>No Garen option
Hilariously Ezreal's survey has Zoe listed. Riot really taking risks.
She's a millions years old! (who needs a M.A.P.)
Can someone share the survey's link?
The surveys only appear in the League of Legends client to random people, so not everyone gets to participate in it.
Shyvana deserves someone better than Lux, what about Seraphine x Shyvana?
Shyvana’s whole story is about her relationship with Jarvan IV, but she’ll probably go gay when the rework her
The manga SG Senna is obsessed with is a romance between a fictional Shyvana and J4. While I don't think they'll put them together I don't think they've forgotten the two
Isn't Jarvan canonically in love with Shyvanna and shit? She saved his life and he saved hers.
I don’t think Shyvanna has gotten any lore in like 8 years so it might be totally different when she’s reworked
If I'm remembering my old old old lore correctly I think J4 just saved her life and she swore to serve him and he accepted, nothing romantic between them but everyone liked to pretend Shyvana, the normally vicious dragon girl, turns into a weak in the knees anime girl around him because it's kind of funny and sweet.
Thinking about it, for a dude who's basically a faction leader J4's had basically no major lore contributions. The most interesting thing that happened with him was when everyone thought he was Leblanc in disguise.
Maybe Riot's just trying to make everyone forget his worthless W exists.
Forgot to post.
Current lore is that Jarvan and Shyvana broke up for unknown reasons (probably because he can't be fricking a dragon as the prince) it isn't clear who broke up with whom. Jarvan is pretty depressed about it
What are you even talking about? That's pairing Lux, and Jinx is going to be the most popular option. If anything that's evidence against timebomb happening. And even if they did do fan-service it will be related to the game, not Arcane.
Ekko is with Heimer now.
Every single Arcane thread would become totally unusable after that.
>Jinx cloaked
We might see Jinx wearing Silco's coat in S2 after all.
I just noticed the tentacles on the jacket, neat
I am actually happy seeing this. I would love for it to be real.
>Concealing her guns and explosives under daddy's coat
It's what he would've wanted.
>I kinda like the idea of Vi claiming she was responsible for the attack at the end of Season 1, as a way to try to protect Jinx.
It made sense when Vi attempted to do a similar thing in Act I because no one, apart from the kids, knew who really caused the explosion in Jayce's apartment. However, by Act III, everyone knows who Jinx is and that her M.O. involves high explosives. Also, Caitlyn wouldn't allow Vi to do something so foolish.
>However, by Act III, everyone knows who Jinx is and that her M.O. involves high explosives.
Not really, at least not depending on who survives the explosion. Most of the people who properly know about Jinx on that side of town (ie. the councilors following Vi and Cait's speech) will be dead, and some of those who remain already have some beef with Vi (eg. Jayce). As far as I can see, there shouldn't be any big issues with scapegoating Vi in place of Jinx, if that's how they want the plot to go.
>Most of the people who properly know about Jinx on that side of town (ie. the councilors following Vi and Cait's speech) will be dead, and some of those who remain already have some beef with Vi (eg. Jayce).
I doubt whatever issues Jayce has with Vi will allow him to believe that she was the one who fired the missile instead of Jinx, the person who she just told him about. He may be naïve at times, but he's not stupid.
>As far as I can see, there shouldn't be any big issues with scapegoating Vi in place of Jinx, if that's how they want the plot to go.
Let's say that it happens: Vi somehow manages to convince everyone that she was the person who blew up the Council (probably by using her never-before-seen psychic powers) and is arrested, condemned to die, whatever. Why, then, would Jinx and Caitlyn team up to rescue her? Jinx hates Caitlyn enough to want to kill her and is perfectly capable of acting on her own, assuming she would even want to rescue Vi at that point; Caitlyn could potentially use whatever influence she has as an Enforcer and the daughter of a (now-dead) Councillor to free Vi, without needing to work alongside Jinx. She's done it before.
Now, let's say that, after throwing logic totally out of the window instead of just dangling it over the edge, Jinx and Caitlyn DO team up. Hell, they even manage to rescue Vi. Then what? Is Caitlyn going to magically forgive Jinx for what she's done? Is Jinx going to put aside her deep-seated hatred of Enforcers? Will everyone live happily ever after (for about a week until the Noxians show up)?
>Will everyone live happily ever after (for about a week until the Noxians show up)?
>this is exactly what happens
>P/Z unite, noxians are defeated with the help of ionian and demacian reinforcements
>but while everyone is cheering at their victory and have darius in chains, they are summoned by a rift in the ground
>everyone ends up inside a strange valley

In the end, they truly were the League of Legends.
Anon, you're making me sad.
Truly a record scratch and a freeze frame moment
>I doubt whatever issues Jayce has with Vi will allow him to believe ...
He doesn't need to -believe- she's guilty if we're talking about scapegoating her. The actual criticism here is that I don't think his character would be that "evil" to throw her under the bus ... which is why their existing beef might help him along.
>Vi somehow manages to convince everyone that she was the person who blew up the Council (probably by using her never-before-seen psychic powers)
You're massively exaggerating it. The people of the city would be barking for blood, and Vi is a known criminal who has direct ties to everything going on. And isn't it quite the coincidence that all this shit started properly going sideways around about the same time she was sprung from prison? Curious. The public aren't going to be asking too many questions, especially if she's admitting to it.
>Why, then, would Jinx and Caitlyn team up to rescue her?
Because their interests are aligned, and they each have useful skills and knowledge that could help them achieve their goal. There's no reason why they'd have to team up right away either, they could both work towards the problem separately, but then get forced together when shit hits the fan.
>Then what? [...] Will everyone live happily ever after?
You seem to have a weirdly black-and-white way of looking at media. "T-they can't team up unless it solves all of their problems by the end!!" I can think of a bunch of good shows/movies where two enemies are forced to work together to achieve some mutually desired outcome, without it immediately turning into some bullshit love-fest. They don't need to end up as friends, but the conflict is a good opportunity for some character development. The fact that they have beef is what would make the pairing interesting.
All of this seems as if you're working backwards from an idea you had and are trying your best to justify it. I think that Jinx and Caitlyn are more likely to kill each other than work together. And again, that's assuming Jinx would even want to rescue Vi in the first place, because the end of Act III seems to imply that Jinx has given up trying to make Vi see things from her point of view, and Vi has seemingly chosen Caitlyn over her own sister. Also, in your hypothetical, there's nothing stopping Jinx continuing to be a terrorist after everything is said and done. I doubt working alongside Caitlyn just once is going to change her opinion of Piltover and Enforcers.
Brain-dead shippers who only watch these shows to play fantasy match-maker will do what they always do. It's best to ignore them.
>All of this seems as if you're working backwards from an idea you had
That's how fiction works, yes.
>and are trying your best to justify it.
I don't think so, the reason I think it'd be a fine option is because I don't think you need to do much/any work to justify it. Everything I've suggested is already in the show.
>And again, that's assuming Jinx would even want to rescue Vi in the first place
Jinx obviously still cares about Vi, the ending of the third act wouldn't make sense if she didn't. Hell, she ended up killing her surrogate father over Vi.
>... and Vi has seemingly chosen Caitlyn over her own sister.
Except -we- know this isn't true. Wouldn't it be interesting if these two characters were forced to interact in a way where this became clear? Maybe it'd help Jinx to realize that everything isn't so black and white, and that she hasn't been "replaced" by an enemy? You know ... a little bit of character development?
>Also, in your hypothetical, there's nothing stopping Jinx continuing to be a terrorist after everything is said and done.
I don't think I've suggested that she would stop? She can care about wanting to rescue Vi, and also still have a vendetta against the city. Hell, their imprisoning Vi would probably help fuel that hatred.
>I doubt working alongside Caitlyn just once is going to change her opinion of Piltover and Enforcers.
As above, I don't remember suggesting that it necessarily would. It could, to some extent, but the degree would depend on what the writers might want to do with the story. Given the level of corruption we've seen, even if Jinx and Caitlyn became BFFs, there's still all the reason in the world for Jinx to hate Enforcers. Hell, Caitlyn herself has beef with them.
>I don't think so, the reason I think it'd be a fine option is because I don't think you need to do much/any work to justify it. Everything I've suggested is already in the show.
All you've really said is "Wouldn't it be cool if...?" and assumed it would even make sense from a story and character perspective. It's practically fanfiction.
>Jinx obviously still cares about Vi, the ending of the third act wouldn't make sense if she didn't. Hell, she ended up killing her surrogate father over Vi.
I never said she didn't care about Vi, just that she wouldn't go out of her way to rescue someone who she believes has "changed".
>Except -we- know this isn't true. Wouldn't it be interesting if these two characters were forced to interact in a way where this became clear? Maybe it'd help Jinx to realize that everything isn't so black and white, and that she hasn't been "replaced" by an enemy? You know ... a little bit of character development?
If character development is what you're really after, then I'm certain there are far less tired means of achieving that.
>I don't think I've suggested that she would stop?
Then that invalidates your point, no? If working alongside Caitlyn is meant to change Jinx's opinion of her, why would she continue to attack Piltover, something Caitlyn wouldn't be cool with?
>Given the level of corruption we've seen, even if Jinx and Caitlyn became BFFs, there's still all the reason in the world for Jinx to hate Enforcers. Hell, Caitlyn herself has beef with them.
Jinx's idea of a beef involves explosives and gunfire, and Caitlyn has witnessed first-hand the kind of destruction Jinx can cause. Would Caitlyn be okay with Jinx continuing to bomb people simply because they both dislike the current system?
>and assumed it would even make sense from a story and character perspective.
It would though. I've already explained multiple times why I think it works.
>I never said she didn't care about Vi, just that she wouldn't go out of her way to rescue someone who she believes has "changed".
So she cares about her ... but wouldn't have any interest in saving her? ... ok.
>Then that invalidates your point, no?
No? She can come to tolerate one enforcer personally without necessarily liking other enforcers, or the enforcers as an institution. Like I said earlier, it feels like you're being super black-and-white in your thinking.
>Would Caitlyn be okay with Jinx continuing to bomb people
No. But I don't remember suggesting she would be. Again, I'm not suggesting they become best friends, I'm saying that it would be interesting to have them be forced to work together to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome. I think it'd be a good vehicle for some character interaction and development. I don't know why you're taking these suggestions to mean that I think the outcome should be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER I LOVE PILTIES NOW <3<3 from Jinx.
>I've already explained multiple times why I think it works.
And I've explained to you why I don't think it works.
>So she cares about her ... but wouldn't have any interest in saving her? ... ok.
I fail to see the issue. Nothing says she has to rescue her sister in such a situation, especially after the events of the last episode.
>Like I said earlier, it feels like you're being super black-and-white in your thinking.
And it feels as if you don't understand just how warped Jinx's psyche is. Her working alongside Caitlyn makes zero sense based on what has been established about her. Caitlyn agreeing to work alongside the person who's almost killed her on multiple occasions makes even LESS sense.
>I'm saying that it would be interesting to have them be forced to work together to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome.
The outcome being Vi's release, yes? Okay, but that resolves frick-all in the plot. Vi is free and has her name cleared, so what? Jinx is still on the loose. All it seems to do is set-up the status quo in League of Legends, which is exactly what I want them to avoid doing.
>I think it'd be a good vehicle for some character interaction and development.
It's a tired cliché.
>And I've explained to you why I don't think it works.
Obligatory "no u", etc.
>Nothing says she has to rescue her sister in such a situation.
Sure, she doesn't -have- to. I'm arguing that it's reasonable that she'd -want- to.
>Her working alongside Caitlyn makes zero sense based on what has been established about her. Caitlyn agreeing to work alongside the person who's almost killed her on multiple occasions makes even LESS sense.
Yes, that's the premise. Two characters who hate each other being forced to work together to achieve a mutually desired outcome. You keep repeating "b-but they don't like each other" as if that's not the premise I'm working with.
>Okay, but that resolves frick-all in the plot.
It'd have pretty big plot implications. Piltover and Zaun are at the brink of war because the leaders of both factions have been assassinated. Vi would be acting as a convenient scapegoat for both parties, helping to keep a troubled peace. Breaking Vi out of prison would obviously disrupt this peace, especially if Zaun can claim that a Pilty was responsible (Caitlyn) and Piltover can claim a Zaunite was responsible (Jinx). There are loads of interesting consequences that could come from all this, there's no reason to assume it'd have to end with some "status quo" thing.
>Vi is free and has her name cleared, so what?
I don't remember arguing that her name would necessarily be cleared. I'm suggesting a jail break, not a Law and Order episode.
>Yes, that's the premise. Two characters who hate each other being forced to work together to achieve a mutually desired outcome. You keep repeating "b-but they don't like each other" as if that's not the premise I'm working with.
My point, that you seem to be avoiding, is that it's a clichéd set of circumstances we've seen time and again. Why does the plot have to proceed in such a way?
>It'd have pretty big plot implications. Piltover and Zaun are at the brink of war because the leaders of both factions have been assassinated.

Breaking Vi out of prison would obviously disrupt this peace, especially if Zaun can claim that a Pilty was responsible (Caitlyn) and Piltover can claim a Zaunite was responsible (Jinx).
You didn't address what I actually said. How would any of that be resolved?
>My point, that you seem to be avoiding ...
There's nothing to avoid. If your criticism had just been "I don't think that series of events would be interesting to me", there'd be nothing to discuss. I don't really mind if you don't like the idea, that's fine.
>Why does the plot have to proceed in such a way?
It doesn't. I proposed an idea I thought was interesting, I'm not trying to force it as the only canonical way the story -must- go.
>You didn't address what I actually said.
Literally read the very next sentence I wrote. I think the premise I outlined creates an interesting scenario which can then go in multiple different possible directions. I'm not writing an entire season's worth of content, I'm describing a scenario and set of character interactions I think would be neat.
>I don't really mind if you don't like the idea, that's fine.
Way to throw in the towel. It must suck receiving any sort of criticism, doesn't it?
???
"I don't really mind if you don't like the idea", says Anon, after trying really hard to get me to like his idea.
>after trying really hard to get me to like his idea.
Since when? I presented a premise I think is neat, and I've gone on to defend its various details from criticism. Butt no point have I argued that everyone else must also like the premise. I disagree with most of the criticisms you've tried to level against the scenario I've presented, but you're fine to dislike the scenario itself.
Then, I suppose we can agree to disagree, unless you've got a bunch of other things you want to say.
Fun possible character dynamics for Season 2?
I kinda like the idea of Vi claiming she was responsible for the attack at the end of Season 1, as a way to try to protect Jinx. That could then give an excuse to have Jinx and Caitlyn team up for a short while in order to "rescue" Vi from execution or some such. I want some proper fun frenemy action. Bonus points given that Jinx did kidnap Caitlyn in the nude that one time.
That's not happening. Vi is too dumb to even think of such a scheme and Caitlyn would never allow it either.
>fun possible character dynamics
Jinx and Viktor. It's subtle but these two had some parallels in S1. I'm guessing it implies they'll meet up at some point. Maybe after Viktor undergoes his change to become "evil".

More important than Season 2 of Arcane what would be the best spinoffs? Imagine the kino of a Syndra OVA based on her short story. It's an entirely different rise of a villain story and informs people who don't know the lore why mages terrify everyone.
I'd love to see a Miss Fortune story but sadly that was done the moment they tried to kill gangplank.
Maybe a Leona and Diana story? Just to play with some yuribait, either that or Demacia-Noxus story.
Have you seen the Ruined King game? Miss Fortune's pretty prominent in it and it's pretty good
It’ll probably be Ionia since that’s where Yasuo, Riven, Akali and Ahri are and those are the most popular champions
Some morons actually think Jinx is going to end up with someone in season 2?
>Some morons
welcome to an Arcane thread!
Jinx/Urgot is my OTP
Jinx is going to die a virgin, Linke told me this personally.
She already lost her virginity to PowPow
No, she lost it to mr.pewpew. She fricked powpow after pewpew couldn't satisfy her anymore; size queen womanlets are surprisingly common.
Yeah, me
Will we get some ZAC kino?
Only if he goes full hentai slime monsters on the whole female cast.
>perfection
An amazing tummy for an amazing girl.
where is best boy?
S2 Act 2
He will show up in season 2.
his schematics are shown in Viktor's lab
Jarvan is talking about Shyvana
Zeri WILL be in Season 2 somehow
>somehow
Ekko's new gf.
>Jinx is like a daughter to me
>Date and fricks a Jinx cosplayer
Jason is based.
>based
Did you read the leaked texts/dms? He's needy and pathetic as hell.
Tbh i'm just kidding. He really is a disgusting creep
Let the dude do what he can you homosexuals, it's already impossible mode for men today, why critique how?
While he isn't a grommer dating a fan is already seen as kinda cringy tbh, the only one who pulled this of was pewdiepie and he kept his relationship private for years.Also did u read Jason texts? Its so fricking needy and desperate for sex, even If he's not a grommer or a pedo
I’m so tired of lesbians but at least in Arcane all the supporting cast females are explicitly straight
>explicitly straight
Oh anon
>gets beaten and raped by prison guards for seven years
>does not want to frick men after being released
At least it's believable.
Where is roastbeef poster when you need him.
Sweet!
Jinx and Vi look like they would smell a lot.
>uhhhh, political drama AND social issues?
>could zaun be anymore stereotypical?
last for draven
Alhamdulillah use ghost cleanse technology for faster beheading of Haram E-Girls L*x and S*raphine mashallah
Timebomb is just the enemies to lovers flavor in arcane pls leave us to our hopium. Thanks
>enemies to lovers
Nah. The "enemies" part is not earned enough. Jinx has no reason to hate Ekko and Ekko doesn't even hate her as much as he should. It's just stuck in limbo because Jinx has committed too much evil while he's unable to fully condemn her either.
It’s less Enemies to Lovers and more Wrong Timeline since it’d never happen in current canon
