It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome, the government used anticop sentiment during Covid to undermine His presidency and now we get to deal with their radicals
@@kingoffools185There are bad cops outside of America as well, but yeah I get your point. Vi n Cait's team are literally good cops, even if Vi will be a violent cop... but against known bad people of course.
@@KarolosOroseira yeah I get that, but I live in Germany for example. Our cops are 99% perfectly fine, yet people will try to project this "American cop" image onto them because the internet told them to.
@@kingoffools185Ironically America doesn’t actually have all that bad a police system. I’m not saying there aren’t any problems but considering in many nations cops are basically just government sanctioned gangs and are COMPLETELY bought and paid for in America it’s actually not all that bad.
The arc one is so painfully true. "This character starts off hating women, but then has experiences that teach them that their bigotry is wrong and grows as a person? Can't have that. Let's just delete all their development and have the character start as an extremely supportive feminist!"
@@lankymario7189 this doesn't even have anything to do with lore snippets. her title is literally "VI, THE PILTOVER ENFORCER". couldn't be more obvious
thats a title you can only find in game, and i guarantee you not even 95% of league's playerbase would guess that's what her title is if you asked them. People enjoying the show have zero idea about leagues lore, rn they only know that zaun piltover and noxus exist, nothing else
You forget, a lot of people who fans of Arcane never play League and never knew all of Vi’s lore beyond Arcane, so her becoming the cop we know Vi always is, is a surprise for them
@@Blu_Moon_Owl EXACTLY lol, league players are being sassy that arcane watchers are upset about Vi but they're consuming the story from zero and are having an appropiate reaction, since enforcers are very much an antagonistical force in season one.
the funniest thing to me is that Vi literally already worked with the enforcers AS AN ENFORCER. She LITERALLY went to the chairman of defense essentially, the boss of the boss of the enforcers, got him to go on a mission with her, and did so. Of course, in the end she walked away because jayce wasn't willing to continue, but it is not surprising that she would continue that line of work if she had better people to work with - ie caitlyn. She also doesn't even look happy about it anyway.
Yeah, I don't understand why it's such a shocking turn for some people, even if they didn't know about the lore. It's a logical direction for the character following S1's events. I certainly don't have a heroic or otherwise flattering view of cops, but it will be such an interesting character conflict to watch Vi go through- that everything we've seen so far tells me will not end in some kind of uncomplicated "cops are good" note. I think a lot of people are so far down the problematic discourse rabbit hole that they've become incapable of rooting for as much as a fictional character unless they are perceived as entirely morally pure. It's like they can't handle the intellectual and emotional complexity of allowing yourself to enjoy something fictional without necessarily feeling the need to endorse it irl.
@@chiefpurrfect8389 Maybe it's because I already knew the game lore, but it really does make perfect sense that Vi continues to team up with Piltover after everything that happened in season 1 and her and Cait try to rebuild the enforcers now that the corrupt people in charge mostly got killed.
@@chiefpurrfect8389 also because zaun is Silco and Jinx's zaun. Vi isn't done fighting that. What is she going to do, NOT join the piltover side and end up being arrested or on the recieving end of piltovers fight? It's sensible for her to join caitlyn and hunt down jinx, than to sit on the sidelines.
@@bluefiremarkii So is this like a The enemy of my enemy" type of situation for Vi? Like, she hates enforcers and Piltover but she hates even more what Silco and Jinx did to the undercity, now Zaun.
@@davidmauriciogutierrezespi5244 in a way. But she's growing to not hate piltover. She likes a piltover person- caitlyn. She worked with jayce, another piltover person. But we can see the biggest issue she has is that the piltover leadership is NOT doing anything with silco. Before it was good they didn't intervene because she hated them. But now that someone actually bad is in charge they still do nothing. She wants her home back, she has nowhere to live if she's an enemy of both piltover and zaun, but mostly she just wants to reconnect with powder, but powder already moved on and is jinx now.
Vi currently is a cop, and it's logic that in Arcane (the prequel) they'll show how it happened. It's not a plot twist. It's like seeing Viktor mechanizing himself and then goes "Ayo, how is that happened?"
@@77Playmaker Arcane lore and League lore can't co-exist. TBSkyen made a great video about that. So if you make Arcane canon, the rest of the universe has to transform to fit Arcane, not the other way around.
I always knew that I just hated the character always anyway so :D it didnt come as a surprise...I dont like Cait either ...just like her as a champion thats all but in lore she is just s richkid who became a police....pretty unlikable :D and he partner is a girl who lobves police brutality ...ofcourse they are both unlikable :D
@@HK-gm8peActually Caitlyn is a pretty good person who wants to create real justice, shows sympathy for all characters (the addict who knew Vi), and helped Vi when others wouldn’t :D Then you have “poor” characters from the Lanes like Silco who murdered her father, friends & manipulated her mentally ill sister and everyone around him :D If you guys watch this show & think “cop=bad” or “from the Lanes=good” you missed the entire plot.
"Man I was gonna cosplay as Anakin this year but then I found out he becomes a Sith and ngl I'm not feeling it anymore. Can't believe they went that route with his character."
The problem with taking things like league lore to the mainstream is all the riff raff that know nothing about the characters complaining about the direction that the characters are intended to go down.
It's definitely that, mixed with a black and white worldview. They have a bad experience with a cop, (or sometimes just hear stories about bad cops) and then all cops become bad. One of my friends is this way. Years ago, he was friends with someone who died in an officer involved shooting, so now he views all cops as reckless, gunslinging murderers. They are one dimensional villains to him.
@@nevermorebouquet3681 can't be occupying if it's the same country, the lanes is not independized from piltover as of arcane 1, at some point in between arcane 1 and current league of legends zaun gain independence
@@WEIRDxGRIM Ngl, I am always surprised and never in good ways of what goes on in the US. What are people suggesting, that we just rely on the good will of people to not do crimes? On the Arcane topic, this must be another example of loud minority and people are just engagement farming over it. I can't imagine people didn't see it coming since Vi already teamed up with the Piltover forces throughout the entirety of season 1. It makes perfect sense for her to team up with Caitlyn now that they uncovered the corruption within Piltover and to try and fix things.
That's because it reminds them of the reality they live in and they have a Conservative ideology. Conservative ideology requires a revision of reality to exist. It's frighteningly easy to go from, "Things were better just four decades ago," which was under Reagan so objective reality is no to, "The Civil War was about states' rights."
@@TheAnscarii They have a Conservative ideology. that's the conceptual underpinning of how they see reality. 'Conservatives' is a label and a label is a set of traits that one can never deviate from since if they did they would never "be a true..."
Being a League fan and watching people get so suprised about the direction Arcane is going is always so funny to me Like in Episode 3 I Immediately figured out that THAT night was going to be the Jinx's "accident". Just based on the voicelines from Swain and I think WW.
I don’t think Arcane Vi becoming a cop is surprising, but she would and will never say lines like this. Game Vi was created before it was decided that Piltover sistematically opresses the people of Zaun. With all the themes of police violence in the show, the “haha im a violent cop” lines a lot of people are quoting are just not compatible with Arcane Vi anymore. She will become a cop, she has to for the lore, but Arcane Vi can never become game Vi.
@@luskart Nah just have to be clear about what kind of people she is saying these lines to are. Say there's a big money tycoon figure who was being investigated for several crimes including taking advantage of and even killing children of zaun. Vi would likely respond as the violent cop.
One of the most common voice lines vi gives in game is "Punch first, ask questions while punching", and people are shocked she is a violent cop XD Especially hilarious, when she spent all first season being a violent theif, which was apparently aok...
Its the hypocrisy of humanity. Its ok to be a thief, murderer and stuff, but the second you're a slightly rude cop or an actual violent one, then you need to be cancelled. Either violence is ok or not, and it shouldn't be ok.
@@Springy05 The problem of violent cops is that cops represent the authority of the State, if they are violent and are not punished for it, this mean that the society accept this violence. Thiefs and murderers only represent themselves, and they are punished in more or less every country in the world, so I don't know what you're talking about when you say "Its ok to be a thief, murderer and stuff".
I'm part of the crew who's never played the game and never will. I'm just here for a really good story and that's what season 1 delivered oh so perfectly. If this is Vi's arc, I'm all for it !
The show makes it very clear that zaunites are not 100 percent innocent and justified and piltovans are not 100 percent evil and unjustified. Every individual character has a degree of responsibility for the horrible situations they and those affected by them are in. That’s made clear in Vi saying “not all of them” when Caitlyn asks her if she has any problems not caused by enforcers or piltover
Gives me the same vibes as people who throw "ACAB" around. Obviously most groups have good and bad people, and generalizing doesn't help anyone. It doesn't take much to understand this logic, but it's twitter so
@@Shaka1660 it's not a generalization, but it's often used as one. ACAB is not a fundamental generalization or condembnation of cops themselves, but the system of modern policing that bastardizes all cops. There are good cops, but all cops adhere to a set of rules and regulations that filters for the most negative outcomes for the lower class and protects only the interests of the powerful. This is however, as with anything used by masses of people, often misused.
If you notice the first frame of the gem being slotted in is the same as in victors and Jayce's "Warm up" when they were going to present their inventions to Heimer. The second that frame ends the lighting shifts dramactically as well as the distance the atlas gauntlet is from the first frame. Its hard to notice with the editing so good job on those who made the teaser
I get that not all Arcane fans are League players, but getting mad at Vi joining the Piltovan Enforcers without knowing the FULL CONTEXT of it blows my damn mind. IT'S A SNIPPET!!! AT LEAST WAIT FOR THE WHOLE SHOW BEFORE GETTING MAD
I like the VI costume, it's a nice mash of the OG VI style and the arcane styles. On the right glove thingy -> VI repairs/reworked 'em in the Lore herself anyway. She is supposed to be(come) a skilled mechanic.
Vi being a street kid/thug reformed as a rough and rugged police officer has always been one of the coolest parts of her character. She’s the bad cop and Cait is the good cop.
Is why it's sad current day audiences (the loud ones) cannot separate fiction from reality and every cool character dynamic has to be filtered through the "is this ok irl? filter
I mean that's exactly the reason why I despised her in original League. She was literally a victim of police brutality just to do police brutality herself and she's totally chill with it. And she wasn't shown as a tragic character either, like Darth Vader or Arthas. They made it look like it's totally okay and doesn't ruin her character at all. I obviously see that she isn't okay with wearing this uniform, but if at the end she'll say some bs like "Maybe enforcers aren't that bad" or "I won't be like these crooked cops" in this moment she becomes dead character.
do people honestly think this is going to be a pro-policing story? Not only does Vi look miserable in the teaser, but but if you recall season 1, it was a very nuanced exploration of class dynamics, there's no way they won't get the best stuff they can out of this,
@@mrmcawesome9746 it’s the long forgotten writing technique of making people realise that different characters have different personalities, and that they aren’t a clay doll that they can control over
It’s also not as if Caitlyn and her shooting instructor aren’t very clearly good enforcers, both morally and performance wise. If anything the show treated people who were purely anti enforcer and anti piltover as somewhat in the wrong.
I was about to make that joke but you beat me to the point lol. 7:09 Edit: besides that I am honestly just hyped to finally see Warwick he is my favourite character in game and finally seeing him on the tv screen is gonna be so cool.
most people who watch the show not even league fan, that's what made arcane popular. No sane people will go out to search for character lore after watching the show and start playing a game which require hundreds of hour to play just to understand
@@lankymario7189 they don't need to play the game! searching up vi league of legends on google or whatever search engine you use pops up her champion page and the first words literally tell she's *the piltover enforcer* some people just jump to conclusions
@@lankymario7189 "no sane person" - so necrit is insane in your eyes? 💀 Also it's not required to play the game at all, one Google search on who vi is (which is not something only insane ppl do when interested) would've done the trick. And ppl forget that Vi likely had to join the Enforcers to stay with Caitlyn, otherwise she'd have no proper piltover identity and was bound to be outcast if not even deported back to Zaun.
@@lankymario7189 I played for probably closer to 1,000 hours and I still only understood how to play a few roles at like a low plat level, lol. Unless you have a crazy amount of free time that you don't mind wasting, or just don't care about playing well, League is a bad choice.
I just watched Arcane with my 55 years old mother and she is completely hooked in. She even linked me this teaser before I knew about it. 🤣 I don't know why twitter is mad, she even predicted during our watch session that VI will most likely join Caitlyn against Jinx, and she had no idea about any League of Legends stuff at all
It wont really be a versus. More cat and mouse and vi being the ptsd little girl that keeps trying to reach out to "powder" at every encounter until the climax where she decides to take her in by force.
2:15 The shot could be from a cross-scene transition. Montage of Jayce working on the glove, slotting in the hex stone, then cut to Vi and the squad getting ready?
not even to mention the fact that with arcane 1 there were multiple teaser shots that were made explicitly for that purpose and weren't in the final show

even tho i already knew this would happen, i really dont understand how arcane fans couldnt tell this was going to happen in the show you can tell vi was already warming up to the idea
Thank you!! Finally someone says it! Even if you didn't know the lore, this should not be a surprise. I guess these "fans" are too dumb to understand their own favourite show
She's literally dating a cop and people still couldn't fathom her becoming one after the events of season 1. Whether it's to change the system, look for jinx, take matters into her own hands, escape persecution (as in Caitlin begged her to come w her to escape the inevitable fallout of season 1) ect. Every last possibility was easy to imagine except "vi does a 180 and is just a corrupt cop now with no reason"
@@Monokm I also don't see why people are assuming she needs to be corrupt. Caitlyn is absolutely not corrupt and she is a cop, so why would Vi become a bad one? It makes perfect sense they would team up and try to take down the corrupt system.
Why would they? To Arcane-only fans reading the lore is essentially spoiling every major character beat seasons before they even happen. Do you read wiki pages for every TV show you watch between seasons?
@@noaburr It's not that they are being forced, there is some annoyance in your comment. The truth is that it would help them to read some of the lore of the characters, so they wouldn't get "surprises" like this, if you can call it that.
@@noaburr i mean theyre basically getting mad about "dumbledore dies". sure, you can be sad when you read / wtch it for the first time, but what is the point of complaining 10 years after its launch
At the start of arcane season 1 vander had the sheriff keeping the peace with him. Vi i believe relised this, so it isnt a big leap that after her sister killed a lot of the piltovan leaders she would join the piltovans so 1 zaunite is atleast there to keep a peace. Also to keep jinx in check or to find her the resources of the piltovan police force would be very nice for her.
Her entire arc in game a rough street gang me,ber who learns ethics from a bar owner slowly becomes disinfranchised with the gangs and chemlords of zaun and when jinxx emerges as a terorist she joins police force to stop this crazy indevidual she mysterously had a history with
yeah if anything she realises how Vander would have a power balance with the original sheriff and would see herself as the person to fill in that gap now. Also, Jayce would see the damage that is done by hextech and realise that hextech can't be unchecked. If Vi wants to keep her gauntlets, which I assume she will, she would have to work alongside Jayce, or under the supervision of Caitlyn as an enforcer.
"Just wait for people to react to Victor." I almost choked while drinking as i heard this. And i remembered Victor from Arcane and how he looks like in the show. This will upset so many more people than the Vi thing. Personally i loved the show very much and look forward to the second season. I haven't played the game for a while now, but still love all the lore of the universe. I also love Victor as a character from the lore and hope to see that side of him in the show as well. The nice and friendly, slightly creepy looking cyborg. Or is he more machine now? Can't remember exactly.
For the ones who didn't know: Sorry you had to find out this way For the ones who knew and didn't want it: Sorry, that's always what it was leading to For the ones who knew and were excited for the drama: Sorry for the other two groups being so loud
What about those who are worried that they're not going to have Vi be someone who sees what we would call police brutality now as the first and only option? All of her voice lines in the game are about her beating the hell out of suspects, ignoring any rights that they might potentially have, and _enjoying every minute of it._ Where there's an undercurrent of her reveling in the power that being an enforcer gives her. The best you can call her in game (up until a retcon) is a bully.
I didn’t know but am excited for the drama, ‘cause it looks like Vi really hates that uniform. And now I find out Viktor ends up somewhere crazy too?! Feeling good about my decision to avoid LoL lore right now. 😊
@@leadpaintchips9461 I have a feeling they might do to Vi voicelines what they did to Nidalee. Basically redo them all to match up with the new lore, since the character is no longer generically representing a stereotype like all league characters originally used to. Nidalee used to be stereotypical sexy lady dancing on a pole
I get the non league players...but the league players???? Like this isnt rocket science..we already knew she was a cop..what were they going to do...make a today cop decide not to become a cop??? If anything, im more excited to see how viktor...BECAME viktor lol considering how he is in the series.
I mean, they seriously changed some other world aspects in Arcane compared to pre-existing League lore (Hextech being a very relevant one, the rarity of magic, the backstories of half the cast, Heimerdinger as a pacifist?? Where is bandle city right now?). Given they treated Vi as a real character in Arcane, and not just a police brutality joke like her original lore, I had (copium) hopes they'd manage to swerve off that path somehow.
@@gabrielaragon9562 Yeah, but in terms of the Kang stuff I think they are staying pretty faithful to the source material. So I've heard at least, I have no clue what's going on in the MCU
I think Vi becoming an enforcer is pretty cool storytelling. She grew up hating them but has to compromise on her ideals to accomplish her goals. I'm thinking she signs up as a way to track down Powder/Jinx. Edit: Just watched the trailer, and well I was half right. She signed up to find Jinx, but not for the reasons I thought.... :(
Exactly! I'm struggling to see how people can't figure out that's the direction her story is going even without knowing previous game lore. The trope of "character becomes the very thing they swore to destroy" isn't new or very out there...
If people could just play the game this could have been avoided, like you said it's obvious that she would join the enforcers otherwise she couldn't track her sister or use hextc gauntlet. Hope people are ready to see the true jinx we love, cause the Harley Queen comparison is for a reason.
I can see her goals becoming slowly corrupted as she compromises. It would be a great character arc where she came to the realisation that she had become the baddie she always hated due to her compromises with a corrupt system. The inevitable meltdown from Quarterpounder, Geeks and Lamers, and Critical Stinker would be hilarious.
@@warex4501 HAHAHAHAA NECRIT ALREADY MADE THOSE XD THERE IS NO HEAVEN IN RUNETERRA XD ONLY GOOD PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEIR REGION WHERE THEY ARE A BETTER PLACE XD
@@warex4501 I would dearly love to see a series like Arcane which focuses on Lux and Garen as the principal characters. Especially how Lux deals with a society which hates everything she is.
10:51 "While it is funny to see people react to Vi becoming a cop, just wait for people to react to Viktor." This is probably going to be the funniest part to me. The League audience knows that Viktor is going to become a villain at some point (and if everything is still canon, a cult leader), but I wonder how much of the Arcane audience will lose their minds when it actually happens in the show. Espiecally since this is their reaction to Vi just becoming an enforcer lol
I don t think he is a villain in lore. he is more of a ends justify the means kind of guy. so inserting emotion suppresor or mind control on workers in dangerous situation to save lives is okey in his book.
The show already teased Void influence in Viktor's tech, and showed his inability to show moderation in his advancement. His character arc makes sense to become a sort of almost-villain "advancement at all cost" sort of situation if he edits himself far enough. Vi is just... Disappointing. I was holding out hope they could have taken her character somewhere more interesting, and less morally bankrupt, than the original walking police brutality joke
The gem placement scene is just a standard action cut. Jace places the gem, probably in his workshop, and then it zooms out to show Vi wearing it. If you started with a wide shot of the workshop and zoomed into the gauntlet it would be less confusing.
yeah thought so too, there was a clear cut with the lighting being different. Also you can tell that in one scene the gauntlet is laying on a table and worn in the next
the shot when (probably) Jayce slotting the gem and Vi activating them are 2 different shots at different times it is a clear cut from when it is slotted and then turned on, or at least in this video necrit provided at 2:15
From what I've heard, they're ending Arcane specifically after this season, but they're working on other stories in other parts of the game world with different champions. No clue if they'll be the same format or anything, but I think that's the right move, because Arcane has focused so tightly on Piltover that it makes sense to create other stories for other places. And that might mean we get to see characters we know and love become background or side characters in other shows or movies or who knows what kind of media!!
Bro people will not like The Viktor transformation but it will be funny seeing. every thing on twitter and hopfully you make a video about it when the time comes.
For me the only complaint I have about Vi being an enforcer is that blue is not her color but other than that I’m really excited to see how she became one
the new poster looks nice, I never watched past the first 3 episodes, I probably would have if they all released at the same time but all I want is for the sisters to get along.
Also one of the thematic for caitlyn in season 1 was her will to bring real justice to the lanes and fix the wrongdoings of the council. Her and vi might be working towards that. Cait might also be fueled by revenge for her mother and be a violent cop in zaun though.
And Vi might feel guilt for what her sister and a fellow person of Zaun did, remember a part of season 1 was her being disgusted with what Zaun had become while she was locked up
Cait might start out acting vengeful towards zaunians but might develop some sort of compassion later. As seen with heimer in s1 and Cait to a degree the show is a lot about the piltoverians pretty much ignoring Zaun because they don't want to see the misery there. Their arrogance already cost them heavily by the end of season 1.
I heard someone mention that they might be working for Jace. Jace tried to get Caitlyn on his staff back in season 1, but she declined so she wouldn’t be stuck behind a desk. Now there is war in Piltover. Caitlyn’s mom might be dead, and her mom was the main reason Caitlyn was held back in her career, so if she is gone, Caitlyn has more freedom to do dangerous activities. Meanwhile Jace might be more aggressive to the undercity than ever, because he gave them his trust, was about to give them what they wanted, but they still attacked. Sounds like a perfect reason to get a task force that won’t be sitting behind a desk, and Caitlyn will definitely be happy to join. She trust Jace more than any of the other council members, and they both respect and support each other. Which will also give her way more freedom to follow her own trail than any other position ever could. I have a feeling Vi is stuck between a rock and a hard place. She wants to save her sister, but her sister just started a war, and will therefore get a lot of people killed. My guess is she feels responsible for her sister’s actions, and Joined Caitlyn because she saw it as the best opportunity to find a way to fix things.
It would make sense for Vi to ask for caitlyn's help to help track down Jinx, her character probably thinks this is a temporary thing to get to her sister again
I can also potentially see the angle for Vi to want to make a change she wants in enforcers by example. Since Jinx ulted the root of corruption in Piltover, I see it being possible that the change would occur or that without all nobles who benefit from deals behind the scenes, Vi would start seeing enforcers as ones doing the right thing. There's a whole lot potential in this development.
@@virdamofromko-metru1161 I see a much simpler reason to join the force: 1) protect Piltover from Jinx which she feels is her responsibility since she "made her". 2) protect Jinx from the Enforcers as she will likely become the most wanted criminal in the region with the highest kill count in the history of the region. 3) repentance for what she's done - by joining, as you've said, she can maybe change things from the inside. How would she be allowed to join? Well: 1) she knows Caitlyn and they like each other. 2) Caitlyn really likes Vi and wants to be closer to her and help in any way she can. 3) Caitlyn knows Vi knows the Lanes and Jinx better than anyone, so as an asset Vi is extremely valuable. Vi could have the pure job of taking care of Jinx. This means she might not be involved in literally any other police work, making her NOT a cop but a tool for the police where both sides stand to gain. I find this to be such an amazing dynamic and so much more interesting than hurt current in-game lore where she is just some brutal happy-go-lucky police officer. The people being mad are simply those who have irrationally extreme political takes. Probably the type of people that actually think the police shouldn't exist - an absolutely idiotic take that doesn't understand either the role of government or the value of that force in reality.
I've been thinking the same with waiting to see how people react to Viktor and Warwick. I'm actually looking forward to Viktor's story most, I love the background they've given him and I can't wait to see how he becomes the machine herald.
