It's still cooking, anon.
Anon, this shit takes time to animate you know? Also, they gotta prepare for the music and whatever new characters they plan to drag into the plot. Arcane being so high quality for its first season was because the people behind it were given lots of time to pull it off.
Yeah, but no leaks or previews or anything? At all? That's the tightest ship I've ever seen.
Silksong?
>Silksong?
Not too hard to keep a tight ship when your entire team consists of three dudes.
there were no leaks nor previews during the whole 6 years required to develop and make the first season.
Fortiche being an unknown studio of literal whos (even in France) helped for that.
now they are krown, but the other factor that contributes to secrecy is the total absence of outsourcing. the series is entirely produced by Fortiche and Riot themselves. there is no fiver pajeet wagie to leak what he has access to on the web.
The first season only took two years to make going by this image since it didn't start production until 2019/2020 and even got delayed by a year.
more like 2.5 years after the scripts and VA were finalised.
either they take more time for S2 because they want to go even bigger than S1, either Fortiche was plundered by other studios and they need to re-train new people.
cartoon production, especially foreign ones are generally leakproof.
Wasn't Steven Universe made in Korea and yet every single episode got leaked?
Because it's planned in US. Arcane is French animation with Chink IP
Arcane is also planned in the US. Riot is owned by a Chinese company but it still operates from the US.
this is exactly the same as Columbia which is owned by Sony but strangely nobody calls the Columbia movies Japanese.
it's not leaked because French animators are not exploited wagies and because there are no other subcontractors in the US, not even for the music.
As has been said previously, it's made entirely in house. No outsourcing to leak it. Plus everyone who works on it does it out of passion for their craft (except maybe the main Voice actors).
That's what happens when you don't outsource any of you product's production to a third party. Leaks only tend happen from third party involvement.
There was a ton of time with no news, leaks, or anything between the announcement of S1 and the start of the actual promo cycle. They're doing the same thing for S2 apprently. We won't hear anything until they're ready to start promoting it in the runup to release.
Just watched this. Do you guys think they're really going to kill off everyone in the council meeting?
My guess is either Jayce or Viktor keeps a forcefield device on them and sees the rocket coming just soon enough, the two of them survive but everyone else in the room dies.
Mel's shimmering Armor thing will protect Jayce and maybe herself. Viktor is going to get FRICKED up but the core won't let him die so he's gonna become a complete cyborg/artificial man from head to toe.
what's her armor thing again? I missed that part. she's not in the game right?
The gold shit she's constantly wearing around her shoulders and back, even while sleeping.
dog idk what the frick you're talking about. why do you think it's armor or has magic abilities?
Cause they won't let the black woman die
They actually show it activating and xray-ed through her dress in the closing shot of the season. I don't know what else to tell you.
It's an item that gives a shield to your team. It will make a barrier.
And Jayce isn't disfigured in any way in the lore
She's not in the game. Honestly I thought this was just some fancy israeliteelry and nothing more. However, there is an item in the game called locket of the iron solari. It's creates a teamwide shield to absorb damage. So maybe she does have a shield. Who knows? I still think it's just fancy israeliteelry.
ok yeah I watched this part again and that does look conspicuous enough to be some kind of asspull death save
Guess you bbys right. It ain't fancy israeliteelry.
?t=1048
oh man I just listened to that again. that had to be the best song of the soundtrack.
She's more interesting alive than dead. Everyone in that council, save for Jayce and Viktor are destined to die. Viktor will die but be resurrected by Jayce with the sextech evil cube that will corrupt him. Jayce will be torn between choosing revenge on the undercity (siding with Ambessa) or still trying for peace (Mel), although I bet Mel will be in a coma-ish state for most of the season.
>although I bet Mel will be in a coma-ish state for most of the season.
>jayce locks the door
>gets thickened hextech all over his hands
>im so fricked up
I want him to go on a murder spree and order an all out war against the undercity, for the greater good!
Maybe that's why he and Viktor will end up on bad terms
>you dont get it viktor
>killing those orphans was the only way to secure peace
It was a necessary crime. Subhumans like those orphans can't be redeemed and underdweller are on the same level as rabid animals, so they had to be put down.
It's not just israeliteellery. Mel's obviously got some connnection to targon magic, which will probably protect her.
+1. The Solari are a religious group in-setting, and there's some evidence Mel's mom is one of them.
I guarantee someone in s2 is going to refer to her as the Iron Solari at some point.
Jayce and Viktor live they're too important to the story in the game
The game is literally non-canon not only to the series, but to the game's stories themselves.
The game itself isn't canon anymore but the lore of the characters is. This is why the main game is the actual less important thing in the whole LoL universe. At this point is just a containment she'll for the most toxic and moronic part of the fanbase.
>entire council gets nuked
>jinx walks into the wreckage gun in hand
>"pentakill"
>out of the rubble, jayce climbs out hammer in hand
>he looks mad, hammer powered
>chases jinx and knocks her out of the window with one blow
>"shutdown"
>he then carries mels body out of the blast zone
>crowd gathers as they see the council has been wiped out save for jayce
>camera lingers on mel, as you hear someone in the crowd say "a champion has been slain"
>Jinx launches a rocket from several miles away then immediately sprints over to pose on the charred corpses like Waco
Don't ask for what people think, the series is based in league of legends so you can get the story spoiled pretty easily. No in-game character will die
Doubtful. DotA killed a couple main characters like Lina and Invoker in theirs, and they're both Netflix slop.
Netflix isn't involved in the production or writing of Arcane though, it's all Riot and Fortiche. Also the writers themselves say they adhere to the canon first and just tweak some small details to better fit the narrative of the main characters, and only after extensive talks at Riot.
I fricking hate League and love Dota, but the Dota cartoon is a travesty that should never be brought up again.
I'd say it's possible but extremely unlikely. Possible in that they've already established Arcane is in its own universe so they don't need to adhere too tightly to canon and also they can have characters pseudo-die, in the same way Viego has been turned to stone and sealed away in current lore. Extremely unlikely in that all the characters have their own fanbases and killing them off would also stop them from being used in all other arcane adjacent material

Vi and Cait are literally just friends. And not even good ones at that.
correct me if I’m wrong, with LoR I think there are more canonically/strongly implied to be gay characters than canonically straight in league now
it would take this show from a 9 to a 10 for me if Vi and Jayce got together, ruining both of the progressive ships simultaneously
Without any regard for the writing or sense it makes? Just to piss on the "progressives"? I'd rather fricking even Viktor get with her at that point, but never Jayce.
why not
they busted that coke lab together
she called him "pretty boy", much more suggestive than "cupcake" I think
top fef
Agreed, I wish I could commission hundreds of pictures of Jayce and Vi. Though he's such a chad that he really fits with anyone.
Mel for the groomer fetishists.
Jinx for the frenemy.
Vi for the comrades at arms licking each other wounds.
Kek, do it.

Why Vi? Doesn't makes sense. At least ask for Jaycee/Caitlyn. That would make more sense since they actually teased it in the series before Vi appeared.
>correct me if I’m wrong, with LoR I think there are more canonically/strongly implied to be gay characters than canonically straight in league now
Seems quite incorrect.
Gay: Vi, Caitlilyn, Graves, Twisted fate, Diana, Leona, Irelia, Neeko, K'sante, Varus.
Bi/Pan:Rell, Nami(also poly).
Straight: Ahri, Akshan, Ashe, Darius, Ezreal, Ekko, Gangplank, Garen, Gwen, Illaoi, Jarvan IV, Kassadin, Katarina, Lucian, Lux, Nunu, Rakan, Senna, Shyvana, Singed, Rumble, Tryndamere, Vex, Viego, Xayah, Zoe.
They are totally just good friends:Azir/Xerath, Nidalee/Neeko, Taliyah/Kai'sa, Udyr/Lee sin
Dravensexual: Draven (fricks but only to hear how good he is)
Not Draven. Draaaven!
what is your evidence for
>Ekko
>Gwen
>Nunu
>akshan
not saying you’re wrong for the above but I legitimately don’t know
also
>totally just good friends
>Lee ud
>nid neek
yeah just like graves TF
also you forgot the LoR followers, which is why I said LoR
off the top of my head for the recent release glory in Navori had at least 3 (daring demolisher, adroit artificer, dashing dandy) and 0 similarly confirmed straight followers
>Nunu
Not that anon but Nunu has a voice line where he referred to Annie as pretty.
ah, ty anon
>tiny kid who is an ice-based stand user
>tiny kid who is a fire-based stand user
the lack of interaction between them is disappointing
It really is disappointing. The only thing one can hope for is them getting a shared skin line together. Annie got to have interactions with Jhin of all people.
>Nunu
Is a kid you pedo creep.
>kids don't have feelings
>prepubescents comprehend sexuality
yeah
I knew I liked girls since I was like five anon.
>Ekko
Had a crush on Jinx.
>Gwen
Ghostly Paramour (paramour means lover btw) card.
>nunu
Has a line calling Annie pretty, I ship it.
>akshan
At first I thought he had something else with Shadya but it turns out I was wrong, however he's a Bollywood movie protagonist if he's not straight nobody is.
I also forgot Akali and Urgot there's probably more than that, and Fiora is probably a butch lesbian.
>LoR
Completely right but also kind of wrong, the problem lies in
>implied to be gay
Most of the time the love interest and sexual orientation of characters doesn't serve a narrative purpose, at least in the runaterra-verse? It's generally reserved for stories that revolve arround couples (Xayah/Rakan, Varus) or as little easteregg-tier interacions (Ekko/Jinx, Katarina/Garen). Now it's easy to see that there's clearly more lgbt eastereggs in LoR than straght shiping, and I think I know why, it's mainly because there is no point in pandering to straight people, if 2 straight background characters are a couple straight people will literally not care, it's normal to them, however if you put a gay couple as a background prop lgbt people will care, to make an explicit statement saying
>THIS DUDE FRICKS WOMEN AND LOVES breasts
Is irrelevant, but saying
>THIS GIRL FRICKS WOMEN AND LOVES breasts
Is pandering.
Isn't Irelia just fan-wish?
Also, if you include voice lines from LoR, Miss Fortune flirts pretty outrageously with a number of female cards that get played, including several lines flirting with Vi and even herself (she says "Well that's one dream come true")
>Isn't Irelia just fan-wish?
it's up for interpretation, like lee/udyr, pic related.
Yeah but MF is a giant bawd that canonically abuses her sex appeal all the fricking time. I mean come on, she's a big titty pirate bimbo femme fatale bounty hunter. If anyone's gonna be bi, it's her.
Hell it wouldn't be out of character for her to flirt with girls even if she was straight just to frick with them and/or anyone watching.
Frick this makes me mad.
First they take away his gay then they make him a gay, Graves mains truly suffer.
They took his fricking cigar????
A decade ago I think, Gragas esq. skin lost it too.
That's pretty normal when you look at RL statistics.
what did you mean by this
queer individuals are extremely rare (they do not reproduce)
take bi women out of the equation and it’s a far smaller portion of the population (while already a small portion)
>actual gay couple and not just dykes
i'm ok with this
This applies to a large number of Riot's characters.
weak bait
viktor was the only good character
Shhh...shhh...shhh...
Is that Caitlyn as a Stacy?
Mel's mom
once piltover and zaun are finished, should they go ionia or demacia?
noxus can go either way
You can't really do ionia without doing noxus at least simultaneously, if not entirely first. Many of its champions have a lot of their stories in how they react to the invasion. I feel with how much noxus they've included already it's the most likely next stop. But with the emphasis on hextech and void magic they could also go to Shurima
bilgewater > noxus for a western audience and relatively low magic
Ionia for an eastern audience, but riskier due to higher fantasy
audiences aren’t ready for shurima/targon/shadow isles yet
demacia/frel/ixt are unfortunately too boring/not fleshed out enough because Riot has made a million Ionian champions
The worst thing about an Ionia show would be that it probably wouldn't include Syndra and her perky gravity orbs.
Audiences could handle Noxus fine, if anything it and Frejlord both have a sort of Game of Thrones atmosphere between their harsh settings and political conflicts and audiences eat that up. Similarly anime is hugely popular, Ionia would track well with western as well as eastern audiences. I think you're vastly underestimating mainstream tolerance of magic in animation.
I do agree with Demacia being boring and Ixtal being underdeveloped though.
I didn’t mean to imply noxus was bad, just that bilge water was better
I would rank noxus above all regions that aren’t pilt/zaun/bilge in terms of western audience appeal
Bilgewater is just Pirates of the Carribean. Their big stories are either Gangplank or Shadow isles related.
Also it won't be so low magic as you'd have homies like Naut and Kench strutting about.
Demacia can work but it will be controversial.
If people can watch Lord of the Rings for the massive fantasy battles then Noxus is something they would want to see.
they are too cowardly to make a demacia mage hunting show while fiddle lurks in the background
Icathia
Human (me) gets isekai'd to Bandle city.
Cancelled because of the strikes
moron.
scripts and voice recording were already completed long before the strike. and even without that the main writers are permanent Riot employees and most probably not union.
Didn't season 1 take forever to get produced? It'd make sense, since it's actually quality animation unlike anything else from TV animation.
Why do we need another season of these boring dykes?
Can't we dwell into really interesting lore like Viego?
Does ruination really need a Nth rewrite?
while the writing of the ruination was poorly received, people do like the individual characters we got from it like viego and vex
God, I wanna knock up this haughty green b***h.
vex is not for sex
You're right, she is for wholesome marriage.
only one person for her
Lulu is for Veigar. Vex is more like their emo daughter.
Veigar is for Tristana.
Cope, virginVeigs got nothing on mechCHAD Rumble.
Veigcucks looking up to a yordle
You got your ships all mixed up. Tristana is Rumble's love interest.
Who the frick likes Viego?
nobody likes viego as a character
the only thing people like about him is his voice actor, gameplay and his corruption ability that lends well to smut
Viego is the worst part of Shadow Isles lore. If they go there I'd rather they focus on literally everyone else
Viego sucks. Shadow Isles was better without that Sephiroth knock off.
What we really need is a Teemo series, where he's duking it out in 'Nam or whatever fricked up shit that crazy little Yordle gets up to. Now THAT would be some interesting lore.
>bandelwood show

Viego is crap, and i'am perplexed why they didn't use Mordekaiser if they wanted a global event
homie already got his big event and a spin-off game centered on him what more do you want
Viego fricking sucks, make a season about the darkin war or the Yasuo vs Riven plotline
The clusterfrick that is shurima deserves at least 3 seasons as it's own show.

Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent said back in April of this year he watched Season 2 Episode 3 before his plight to China meaning the season was a quarter finished (assuming it's 9 episodes again) and will probably be halfway done by the end of this year. Reminder that after Arcane was successful they never had anything in the pipeline at the time aside for planned concept because they didn't know it was going to be this successful. If they did we'd be hearing more about that by now. Genuinely hope to comes out late 2024 as I heard people who worked on it said it would be finished by then in a podcast ages ago (he didn't exactly say late 2024, just 2024 but god I hope so). Worst case scenario would be it releasing in 2025 which is entirely possible.
https://thedirect.com/article/arcane-season-2-release-date-update
To add on to , the VA for Ekko made some posts implying he is already recording lines for Arcane or was before the strike happened.
https://twitter.com/arcaneindetail/status/1687849659367403520
I thought Laurent had been cancelled. Tencent really don't give a frick about SJWs.
>they never had anything in the pipeline at the time aside for planned concept
we saw that the general story, concepts, designs and probably even the detailed scripts of S2 were already finished. Laurent said they straight away greenlit the show for "several seasons". only Fortiche employees (at the end of the pipeline) said they took a "vacation" before starting to work on S2.
>make a banger of a show but not sure if itll be successful enough to get demand for a second season
>decide to end it off with a cliffhanger anyway
Well shit, I guess when this comes back in late 2025(the earliest) I'll have to give the original a rewatch if I can remember why I like it in the first place. And damn, it's been nearly 2yrs already since the first one dropped
It wasn't suppose to end on a cliffhanger. I think a couple of writers revealed on Twitter they had the script for the next episode, but Riot didn't want to continue putting more money into making it. They wanted to see if they can make a return on their investment after how long it took the make the other episodes we ultimately got. That is fair since the show was in the works for fricking years.
>cliffhanger
anon that was the point.
it wasn't a cliffhanger. by the time they acted, it was already too late for them to prevent a bigger tragedy.
that was the ending and lesson of a contained story with a tragic ending.

also reminder
It took like six years to make the 1st season. Give it time.
is the show any good? i cant care about LoL but this has been recommended to me a number of times now.
Yes.
yeah it's good, and I despise LoL. the animation is at the level of a movie, I've never seen a 3d show so well animated. it has some traces of the typical progressive shit e.g. gay couples and girlboss characters but few enough that it doesn't damage the story.
The females are strong in the best ways. They're resourceful and strong willed but still have extreme flaws. It's one of the only well written female cast in ages.

>Insanely intelligent but also just plain insane

>Iron will, iron knuckles, loyal to a fault, and very compassionate, but also has a death wish and has absolutely piss poor planning and forethought skills.
Truly Cait is bestgirl.
>>Vi
>loyal to a fault
I believe it was Mike Tyson that said "I'll frick you 'till you love me, homosexual", but it was the Warden that actually pulled it off.
Vi' s just so broken by her losses that she's let herslf become a trained lap dog. The very concept of loyalty is lost on animals like her.
samegay
*lap dog to the very government responsible for the underlying causes of EVERYTHING that has happened to her.
yeah it's fine honestly. there are plenty of cool male characters too so I don't get the same vibe as a lot of western shows where the girls are infallible and the guys are all useless morons.
Vi kind of strikes me as the quintessential Strong Independent Woman™, but she's shown to actually be fallible and loses a pretty good chunk of her fights, so I wouldn't call her a mary sue which most of those kinds of characters are.
It's excellent. It may seem kinda mid at first but there's a reason for it. Watch to the end of ep 3 before you judge.
It's fricking fantastic. You don't need to know anything about LoL at all, and if you ask me, it's actually BETTER when you don't know.
>i cant care about LoL
The show is significantly better if you don't know shit about LoL since you don't get spoiled about characters destinies
From the perspective of a person who fricking hates when a female character beats male characters because "SLAY QUEEN" I tell you that I fricking hated that Ekko actually beat Jinx because I wanted her to win. The series actually made me root for the female in a male vs female fight. That's how good the series is. It actually develops the characters so so perfectly well that gender, race, or any of that crap stop being important. You just love the characters. Love the story. Enjoy it for what it is. Very few series or movies or games can accomplish that nowadays.
they should've paired Cait with Jayce. what is this "just frends" bullshit.
Jayce is much older than her and Cait is a total dyke.
>Enjoys shooting
>Hates the frivolous shit of being a woman
>Minimal makeup
>Is a fricking cop
>Thirsts for the bad girl from the other side of the tracks
If anything I think it's Vi who isn't gay. She didn't end up a brawling meathead because she chose it, it was either that or end up a prostitute and there's no way she or Vander would have that.
ok I'll concede Cait to the dark side if they make Vi bisexual
Are you ready for Viktor kino next season? GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!
Vi is going to kick him in the dick
Her foot is going to hurt if she does that.
It's being made in France, far from the bullshit of America
I wanna learn lol lore (I played the game years a go in the early days but not for long and all I know is they retconned the league) any YouTube recommendations that go over it? The universe seems neat, the game just isn't fun to play
bro it gets fun after the first 50 hours
Necrit
gottit, thanks. How the frick do you play videos in reverse order? His lore playlist is newest first.
Click on Videos
Scroll down
Open the lowest one in a new tab
Be wary. Necrit sometimes fricks up in his videos about the lore because English is not his first language.
The game is fun if you play it ironically. As in, play it to laugh your ass off the anger of the other morons in both enemy camp and your own allies. You have to have tick skin though because you'll get insulted a lot. But once you develop resistance to insults and can laugh it off. Hearing the insane rage of autists is a fricking riot (no pun intended).
NEVER EVER play the game seriously. It's only self inflicted punishment. At last resort if you wanna just waste time and have some fun trying the mechanics and hearing the lines of champions and stuff, just play coop vs AI.
I say we genocide all underdweller scum!
Is he actually like this in the game? Because if Mel dies he's definitely gonna have simp rage
Yes he's a CHAD. All underdweller scum must be eradicated!
Seeing how riled up he got over shooting that kid in the factory, I have a bad feeling they wont go this route.
Jayce's character is that he's kinda of an egomaniac and they never got around redubbing his lines or updating his story so it fits with the show
He just needs to learn like in canon that underdwellers can't ever be saved which he'll get from his fight with Viktor which will lead him to conclude that he must implement a Final Solution to the Underdweller problem. He's seen as the Zapp Brannigan of the series.
It's a shame because I genuinely think his meeting with Silco is one of the best scenes in the show.
Not really. The greatness of Arcane is that all characters are presented with clear intentions of eventually all reaching their game versions but they also provide all the backstory so you know how they eventually reached there. Best example is how they had Jinx arrive at her status of a crazy villain as shown in the game while also giving her a compelling story to justify it. Same with Vi who now has no option but to go live in Piltover, setting up the path that will eventually end with her becoming a Piltover Warden[spoiler].
you dont have to use /spoiler if the end of your post is the spoiler just fyi
He's just their version of Tony Stark, didn't even invemt Hextech but just improved on it a bunch.
Viktor was also more villainous in game, he wanted to kill emotions for a more efficient community.
Jayce is a c**t in canon. Stole a bunch of Viktor's stuff as well.
Viktor just wants to optimize things. People included. But he's not a villain, just autistic. Read his story with the kids.
>he's not a villain, just autistic
Funny how those things coincide. He fails to realize that failure is part of being human, ironically.
it's a video game commercial for a game that has rigged matchmaking
I wish the commercials for my favorite games were this good. Can I have a commercial with this quality for Uncharted next?
I hope my wife appears next season
Who let Blizzard in here?
A few of the voice actors have started to talk a bit more about their lines, including the guy who voices Silco confirming he has some in Season 2.
I wouldn't be surprised if we get a preview around Worlds or at the Game Awards. Season 1 was first previewed during Worlds 2020 and then we didn't get a full trailer until a year later about a month or two before launch. Wouldn't be surprised if they're doing the same for this.
Hey man, it takes a long time to accurately model Orianna's clockwork vegana.
They trying to figure a subtle and pg way to put in the prison rape flashbacks.
I hope they can pull off a story involving Udyr
I think he is the least interesting. The only noteworthy thing about him is his relationship with Sejuani. He is like her Vander.
I thought the whole story of him being a holder of the spirits as part of his tribe a neat concept. With him having to flee after the tribe was destroyed in order to protect the spirits. Only for him to become a wild man in a Conan the Barbarian kind of way. Instead of being a slave he is just a berserker until Lee Sin runs into him. Eventually allowing him to follow Lee Sin after being unable to land a single blow. Go to Ionia and learning to control the spirits and subsequently himself. Becoming more of an Ionian defender as a result, since it became his new home long after losing the tribe he was born to.
>with Sejuani
He has a bro thing going on with Lee Sin. Though honestly I don't care for her lore of anyone from the Frejlord barring maybe Lissandra
The Frejlord lore was a lot of fun before they did a bunch of changes.

I wonder if Riot will sellout Season 2 and completely fumble what made S1 great.
would actually be quite happy to see seraphine if she is subjected to as much misery (everyone wants to be) as jinx and company
the catharsis of seeing her laid low would be delicious
Other champions have voice lines mocking Seraphine. If they use her she works as a naive girl who gets hit hard with reality. The world she lives in is always at war or facing eldritch abominations.
Wasn't season 1 developed in 7 years or something like that? Of course season 2 will take less but I guess the studio had to get used to the quicker demand, bigger staff, and probably Riot green lighted more than 9 episodes so the writers won't rush to the end like in the third act of season 1
The good part is that probably the writers have a clear sight of what they want to told and since season 1 was really good I can see the rest being on the same level.
7 years includes lots of restarted development and hiatus
like riot throwing their pilot in the trash because they thought it sucked and they had to start from square 1
actual production time that doesnt include the creation of KDA as a practice run in the middle is more like 2-3 years
I'm undecided how much Silco actually cares about her and how much he's just manipulating her
at the very end, its obvious he truly cares for jinx above anything
jayce is willing to give him everything he wants all in exchange for jinx as a scape goat
and silco says he would rather everything burn then let them take jinx
in effect mirroring what befell vander, willing to lose everything to protect his daughter
Silco genuinely cares about Jinx. The big twist is that he genuinely grew a lot as a person between the end of Episode 3 and the start of 4's timeskip. He clearly regrets having Vander killed, and he is trying to make his dream a reality in whatever way possible. He sees Jinx as Zaun, and thus believes that his own death will make the lanes stronger.
He never manipulated Jinx. Ever. This is proven since the moment he's accused of not having control over her. He never wanted to control her. On the contrary, he fed her free spirit by giving her complete support on her projects. Also he was always right about Vi. She was no good for Jinx because Vi just wanted her to be Powder, because it was easier to love the innocent small sister. She never wanted to love Jinx as herself. In the end, the only one that tried to manipulate Jinx was Vi herself.
what word do you call it when he's actively brainwashing her to act like her alter ego created by trauma, and lying that Vi doesn't care about her?
>brainwashing her to act like her alter ego created by trauma
Jinx said so herself, nothing Silco ever did created Jinx, it was all her choices. All SIlco did was try to help her recover from her trauma. He knew from the very first moment that she was a broken girl and that whoever person she was before he found her was never coming back. What he always did was encourage her to move on from her tragic past and find a new path, and if that path was to be Jinx, then so be it. That's why she was perfect in his eyes.
>lying that Vi doesn't care about her?
but he never lied. Vi never cared about Jinx. She only wanted Powder. What Vi tried to do until the last scene was to kill Jinx and bring Powder back and that was never gonna be possible because Powder doesn't exist anymore.
if he's only trying to help her and if Powder no longer exists then why does he start yelling things at her in the final scene to keep her from reverting to Powder? shouldn't he want whatever's best for her? or maybe he benefits somehow from her staying as Jinx?
Silco never yelled anything at Jinx. He just yelled at Vi to stop talking because he knew she was hurting Jinx. Why he yelled at Vi? Because Vi was actively hurting her when she made her remember all that people from the past. She literally put her on her knees just by making her remember. Powder isn't what's best for Jinx because Powder isn't who she is anymore. That's the whole point. Even when Jinx offered Vi the opportunity to bring Powder back, she wasn't really thinking about becoming Powder again, but instead was trying to bring Vi to her side. To turn her into a Loose Cannon as well.
I think you need to watch it again
Since you mentioned yelling, I thought you were just talking about the last part of the scene, which is the only time Silco yells. But if you're talking about everything Silco said to Jinx in the table scene, that only shows much more clearly that Silco never had any ulterior motive with her. Silco only speaks the truth. Vi wouldn't last a day without trying to change Jinx. We could clearly see this in the scene where they fight together against Ekko and the fireflies. Vi, looks at Jinx and doesn't recognizes her. That's the moment Vi realizes Jinx isn't Powder. What does that mean? It means that if Vi and Jinx were to leave together, Vi would expect Jinx to behave like Powder did. What happens the first time that Jinx wants to explode something? What happens when she gets angry at someone and wants to kill them? Hell, what happens when Jinx refuses to remember the good ol' times because they weren't good memories to her anymore? Silco knows Vi doesn't want Jinx which is why he tells Jinx she would betray her no doubt. As for Silco, he was always honest with Jinx. He let her be who she was. If she was Powder, Silco would love her the same way. In fact, Jinx becoming Powder would benefit him even more because at that point of the story, his whole operation turned political. Not having a Loose Cannon running amok would benefit him greatly after accepting his seat in the table. But it was never about her being Jinx or Powder to Silco. He loved her either way, Vi didn't.
>"Silco, he was always honest with Jinx"
>doesn't tell her that her sister has come back and tries to stealthily kill her for good before Jinx realises what happened
>hears directly from Vi that she is back for Jinx, perfectly knows Jinx is missing her sister, and still tells Jinx a made-up story about Vi being back for the gemstone, and only after Jinx tied him up and asked him to tell the truth
keep coping
Why are you even giving that guy attention?
>hears directly from Vi that she is back for Jinx
And then Vi tells him that she will erase whatever delusion he put in Jinx head. Literally confirming what I'm saying. Didn't you pay attention to the scene at the table? Jinx literally says Silco never did anything to create Jinx, it was all her.
>perfectly knows Jinx is missing her sister
yes he does, and he realizes quickly that Vi wants her sister Powder back, she doesn't want Jinx. Literally explained in the table scene.
>and still tells Jinx a made-up story about Vi being back for the gemstone, and only after Jinx tied him up and asked him to tell the truth
He didn't want Jinx to falsely believe Vi was coming for her because she wasn't. It wasn't a made up story. Vi was coming with Caitlyn for the gemstone. Did Vi have the intention of reuniting with Jinx? Yes, but that didn't mean anything. What happens after she finds Jinx? You saw what happens. You know what would've made things different? If Caitlyn hadn't come. Why did Caitlyn come? Oh yeah, that's right, for the fricking gemstone. Why didn't Vi leave Caitlyn behind if her only intention was coming for Jinx? She had plenty of opportunities to do so.
>He didn't want Jinx to falsely believe Vi was coming for her because she wasn't.
yes, she literally was and you say it yourself two lines above. do you even understand what you say?
>It wasn't a made up story. Vi was coming with Caitlyn for the gemstone.
this is what Marcus said to him based on his own inferences, not what Vi had told him face-to-face. he only told Jinx half of the story. the half that he wanted her to know.
>What happens after she finds Jinx? You saw what happens.
she is taken away by the Firelights against her will before having the time to justify Caitlyn's presence. and this happens after Silco had already deliberately lied to Jinx about Vi's intentions.
>yes, she literally was and you say it yourself two lines above. do you even understand what you say?
what you don't understand is that Jinx and Powder aren't the same person.
>this is what Marcus said to him based on his own inferences, not what Vi had told him face-to-face. he only told Jinx half of the story. the half that he wanted her to know.
again, Silco didn't lie because he knew Vi wasn't coming for Jinx. She was coming for Powder. Powder doesn't exist anymore. The very first thing Jinx tells Vi after they reunited is that she has changed and Vi says it's fine, but when she saw Jinx fighting the fireflies, she quickly realized that it's not fine, proving Silco right about Vi's eventual betrayal.
>she is taken away by the Firelights against her will before having the time to justify Caitlyn's presence.
this is not what happens after Vi finds Jinx. What really happened is that Caitlyn appeared behind her and Jinx confirmed Silco's story herself. Again if Vi's only intention was to find Jinx, why did she stay with Caitlyn? Because Caitlyn came to find the gemstone.
>what you don't understand is that Jinx and Powder aren't the same person.
ultimate literal schizoid cope.
>Silco didn't lie because he knew Vi wasn't coming for Jinx. She was coming for Powder. Powder doesn't exist anymore.
ultimate literal schizoid cope.
>Again if Vi's only intention was to find Jinx, why did she stay with Caitlyn? Because Caitlyn came to find the gemstone.
see
I accept your concession
Yeah I checked and Vi didn't know, but the point still stands. Vi knew Caitlyn was investigating Silco. She stayed with Caitlyn even after finding out that Jinx is working with Silco. Why lead her to Jinx then? Was it because she believed Jinx would just betray Silco after seeing her? Silco realized that wasn't gonna happen and he was proven right when Jinx, in fact, got angry that Vi had lead the police to her.
>Silco says Jinx loves him
>Vi is wrong for refusing to believe it!
>Vi says she's coming back for Powder only
>Silco is right for refusing to believe it!
I think Vi was under the impression that Jinx was brainwashed or working with him out of some sort of desperate attempt at safety and would come back to her with open arms, which she kinda did for all of 2-3 minutes. Problem is that Sevika already put the thought in Jinx's head that Vi was here with an enforcer and didn't care about her before the meeting, so she freaked out when she saw Caitlyn. We don't really know how Jinx would have reacted without that prior talk with Sevika.
Really, Sevika and Silco both kind of fricked up the sisters' perception of each other before they reunited. Sevika to Jinx when she was tied up then to Vi after telling her Jinx was like Silco's daughter. Then Silco at her old house when he decided to be a fricking weirdo talking about how he molded her instead of hitting Vi with the guilt bomb "Look I found a crying little girl in an alley and took care of her fricking sue me"
Jinx didn't talk to Silco until after her fight with the Firelights and Vi/Caitlyn got kidnapped.
>Sevika and Silco both kind of fricked up the sisters' perception of each other before they reunited
I feel like there was no saving that relationship either way. I mean the very first thing Jinx tells Vi is that she has changed. The very first thing. Then in the last episode Jinx tells Vi that Silco never had any influence over her. That she changed on her own. I believe that when Jinx accepts Vi in that embrace after they reunite, it was under the impression that Vi would accept her the way she was, like Silco did. But she never did.
Jinx' hatred for Sevika can be easily boiled down as jealousy because Silco thinks of her as a capable and reliable number two and she hates sharing her dad.
It's that simple and petty, had she been nicer to her or less possesive of her dad maybe things wouldn't have snowballed out of control that fast when le prison bicycle showed up again.
Yes definitely. It will be interesting to see how Jinx and Sevika clash in Season 2. They both represent a part of Silco. Jinx is vengeful Silco while Sevika is politician Silco.
Sevika represents Silco the pragmatist while Jinx represents Silco the romantic, both sides are at odds with each other and cannot coexist which is ultimately what causes Silco's downfall.
Can't be the cold ruthless leader of men while getting your heartstrings tugged by a sad little girl, can't be just a dad while running a criminal empire and ordering deaths left and right.
Oh, for sure, things were never going to go back to how they were, but maybe if the sisters had like an hour just to talk uninterrupted things might not have gone as catastrophically horrible.
>Again if Vi's only intention was to find Jinx, why did she stay with Caitlyn? Because Caitlyn came to find the gemstone.
Didn't Vi only find out about the gemstone's existence after Jinx mentioned it in episode 6?
>Silcoschizo is so deeply gone in his delusion that he has already forgotten that Vi still didn't even know what the gemstone is by the time she reunited with Jinx
many such cases.
>What happens the first time that Jinx wants to explode something? What happens when she gets angry at someone and wants to kill them?
oh no she'd try to make her sister CHANGE?? why would a caring family member ever do that? I know my parents love me because they let me do whatever I want.
also Silco benefitted from her being Jinx, cause she could make weapons and was good at fighting. maybe he also cared about her but you can't deny that was part of it.
Don't you think it would be a miserable existence having the person that supposedly is on your side just trying to change you? How is that not toxic love? The thing is that Jinx loves destruction. call it PTSD, trauma or whatever you want but that is part of who she is now. Also the example of the parents doesn't apply because your parents didn't gave you the worst literal memory of your life by beating you before berating you in the worse way because you made a mistake. That weighs a lot. You can't erase that with just words or intentions.
>but you can't deny that was part of it.
Sure, I won't deny that Silco benefited from her being great at everything. I only argue that he never intended to manipulate her.
most of all Silco projected himself on Jinx on a pure "she's literally me" fashion, much like Vander did with Vi.
and because Silco never pardoned Vander for his actual betrayal, he desperately needed Jinx to think Vi had betrayed her and could never accept that Jinx could forgive her sister when he was never able to do the same. also because on the surface Vi looked like she had betrayed the cause like Vander did in Silco's perspective.
in the fountain scene he accepts that family can come before cause and finally forgives Vander, but he doesn't accept to lose both Jinx and his empire because of Vi. hence his reaction at the dinner party.
ultimately both Vi and Silco are ready to abandon their cause and forgive Jinx for leaning on the other side, but none is ready to let her go.
the difference is that Silco makes the final mistake of resorting to violence one final time, and violence only calls for more violence and unintended damage. this is the final lesson of Vander that Silco did not fully accept. the one thing that he refused to see in Jinx, her capacity to cause indiscriminate damage, and the cost of that mistake was his own life.
this is the perfect mirror of Vander refusing to strangle Silco even after having resorted to fight again.
Silco's final outburst of violence caused his own demise, and Vander's final outburst of pacifism caused his own demise.
the sake of Zaun is somewhere inbetween.
>because on the surface Vi looked like she had betrayed the cause like Vander did in Silco's perspective.
Exactly. From Silco's perspective, Vi was an outsider now. This is also why he laments the fact that they never got an opportunity to talk with each other before recurring to violence. Silco would've accepted Vi on his side if she was willing to work with him, but that was never gonna happen.
Vi is Vander's heir, and Silco still deeply hates Vander until the fountain scene. and after that his forgiveness to Vander's attitude doesn't extend to Vi only because Vi wants Jinx which is the very last thing that Silco has at this point.
You have to be lying. There's a ton of updates on it. They announced that it'd take less time since now they got the hang of it. But then they post poned it from late 2023 to 2024.
not reading all the other replies but if it hasn't been said already, expect it to be released at worlds this year, with the primary focus of the opening ceremony being for it.
No surprise here. LoL might be one of the shittiest games out there but it's clear Riot Games really takes all their projects seriously. Even when it comes to their spin off games, they don't rush anything. Look at their fighting game. It has been announced for ages and still doesn't even have an official name.
Someone, help me win a bet, is Warwick Victor after tampering with hextechand and getting into Dr. Curtis/the Lizard situation? Because my friend said he is Vander. Who is he?
Lmao look at
to see Viktor's true fate. Also Vander is hinted multiple times throughout the show that he will become Warwick. He is nicknamed the Hound of the Underground, and they play a bit of Warwick's theme with him. In the game Warwick has voice lines that only make sense with the context of Arcane. He even express how he remembers that Jinx was there when the place got blown up by the monkey bomb.
Damn it. Are you sure there is not at least a 5% chance that Viktor might fricked up trying to heal himself and turned into a giant wolf?
his arc climaxed when he gave himself a metal leg and you think hes gonna become a wolf?
>called the hound of the underground
>knows vi and jinx
>lets out a howl while shimmered

Gimme card game canon Seraphine
Honestly yeah, LoR did a lot to improve Seraphine as a character which is surprising since her story is basically "I want to participate in a battle of the bands in Zuan and win everyone over with the power of my music." Which is the kind of overly sugary plot you'd expect to come across exactly as tone deaf as her release, but they did a really great job of grounding her character and making her look like an actual real person that lives in the world, instead of being a magic pixie pop star 24/7.
The first one took, what, seven years to make? Don't expect the second any time soon.
some rumors a while ago claim the second season had a budget cut.
From where?
the first season's production was very far from smooth and standard. throwing away the first pilot they spend 2 year to produce and adapting to covid cost them a lot.
"budget cut" probably only means normalised budget.
When they saw how successful Arcane was Riot dumped a truckload of money onto Fortiche and basically bought the studio.
In the Bridging the Rift behind the scenes series the CEO mentioned they gave the showrunner the budget for two seasons, so I don't think there's been budget cuts.

Just checked the very first thread and damn... No one here really have any faith in this series at all. Is LOL really that bad outside of Arcane?
*had
Kind of? It's a bit of a meme to hate on league but I wouldn't know I never played it.
>Is LOL really that bad outside of Arcane?
LoL had an absolutely atrocious lore event (sentinels of light) just a few months before Arcane came out. Everyone was shitting on the writing team and never expected anything decent from them ever again.
My girlfriend(19) has been playing it since she was a little girl, she'll talk about LoL as if it's the worst calamity that ever befell mankind and yet it's the only videogame she plays.
I don't get leaguegays.
more importantly, how old is Jinx supposed to be? will twitter people be mad at me if I talk about bending her over a barrel and showing her the fifty states?
She's like 21-22 in the game and 17-19 in the show.
>I don't get leaguegays.
You have to become one to truly understand why they swear it's an abomination before God (they are correct) and then proceed to play it for 12 hours a day
I'd actually broken roughly 10 year off and on habit when Arcane came out. After Act 1 aired it was like OK FINE YOU GOT ME and I turned around in my chair to drop some money on one of the event things they had going on (Legends of Runeterra's single player mode is actually pretty fun)
We didn't know if there'd be a season 2 at that point but I figured the bean counters at Riot were tracking purchases so I wanted to do what I could to encourage more.
They fricking got me and I've been back to playing semi-regularly ever since. The Star Guardian event last summer also didn't help
league is a game made for turbo autists with Stockholm Syndrome, if you don't fit that description, you'll never get them
>all that Leon and Matilda fanart
I miss when shows were allowed to focus on cool and heroic white male characters for a change instead of nothing but woke revisionism for over 10 years now
What's worse, Vander not doing anything when he was in charge of the undercity or Silco not taking Jayce's offer in exchange for Jinx and going to war with Piltover?
>one of the latest Jilco fanfics is about Silco and Miguel O'Hara becoming friends in jail, getting out early due to Silco's connections and signing up for classes at a community college where they respectively meet Jinx and Gwen Stacy who are also friends
Women can be so creative sometimes

When you really think about it Vi is the real villain of the show
So after an Arcane thread goes awhile like 2-3 people always seem to show up
1. Guy who says KWAB
2. Guy who complains about Yuricucks
3. Warden rape fetishist guy
4. Jilco art dump guy
I'm genuinely curious, it's been two years, let me know, which of these is the same guy?
