Arcane is Better than I Expected | Mikaila's Corner 

@Xbox One bull fking shit. why you reply when you ignore the cmt. even without the kiss, vi x cait alr feel rush for many. you ppl don't care about the writing of the story, only the representation, the sexuality you want, and the worse is when you ppl don't have it (yet) you assume thing to downgrade the show. if the show don't want to have vi x cait, they won't bother show these hint and it won't make arcane any worse.

Yeah they deffo gonna introduce Camille next season and she’s a great option for villain

@@Crazygamergal There is also Urgot or Twitch or Warwick or Blitzcrank and his creator. With so many options it would be odd if Jinx became main big bad villain. Even voice lines in league of legends , the lore and what I seen of legends of runterra suggests that they wouldn't take Jinx same path as Sylvanas.

@@Goldenevil91 Judging by the trailer, I think we're gonna get the Chembarons and Sevika as our main villains, alongside possibly Viktor. And we'll have Warwick as a wild card in the middle of it all.

I didnt get that from Caitlyn's comment in the Season 2 trailer. I think that's her responding to Vi regretting going down there with her, probably saying she should have gone alone. I think this is all pointing towards SERIOUS Vi regret, and Caitlyn trying to talk her out of dealing with Jinx all by herself. I sense a death wish of some sort from Vi.

Catradora wasn't like that because Noelle Stevenson LIKES slap slap kiss as a trope

Spoilers are not a "risk." Spoil things, it doesn't matter.

@@LilianOrchard well at this day in the main lore Cait and Vi are still chasing Jynx , thta keep doing random acts o f destruction and Zaun as a nation is a fact. Noxus was named many time in the last 3 episodes, a nation that respect only strength if they think you are weak they will invade you.

Dont play it. not worth the addiction

Auto captions take a while

@@LilianOrchard Okay thanks ^^

How do you feel about how fast paced this show is? On one hand I really enjoy how it doesn't waste my time but on the other I just kind of wish it had more time to let some of its relashionships breathe? Giving Jinx and Ekko a scene on episodes 1-3 before they fight each other, or giving Sky (Viktor's assistant) like.... Any personality.

How'd you feel when the music would hit and just bring that extra bit if adrenaline to a scene? Best instances(imo) being the bridge and bar fight scenes.

my main worry for the future is the direction for the cast , there are more that 150 legends , and many where hinted trougth the first season, i just hope they dont add to many character , to be honest i don't think they will go chasing Jynx as the main focus for the second part , they keep mentioning a enemy from outside that was waiting for some waekness to attack , if loosing most of your ruler in attack isn't "weakness" i dont know what it is?

@@filiasnox1116 I think most hints for existing characters are just easter eggs for lore fanatics and won't play any big part in the coming seasons. There are exceptions of course (blitzcrank, warwick).

@@terrorsmash8090 but let be honest the only location named multiple time is Noxus and is still too soon for Blitzcrank , many thing need to happen to Viktor before , i still think that all the crows , that are seen many times trougth the series represent Swain spying on Piltover.

No, but LoL was made out of the corpse of a Warcraft 3 custom map

@@LilianOrchard so? what's the point? does lol lore make out of w3 too? like is there a single thing that's look like they copy/inspire from it? i see alot of reviewer state they hate lol and still love arcane but your is next lv for sure.

Diana and Leona are 100% confirmed to have been a Canon couple (check out the official short story "Rise With Me"), plus their ingame pride emote. Neeko is confirmed by the writers via twitter to be lesbian too, if her in-game voice lines didn't make that fairly obvious anyway.

I forgot about Neeko, but I meant about being explicitelly said. Not just confirming it outside of the official sources (The game itself and the universe page). There is Rell too who at least is equally vague with gals as she is with guys. And the same with Fiora who we just can assume that could be lesbian by the dialogs, but again nothing explicit. I Knew that there was the story of Leona and Diana but haven't read it nor seen any summary video about it. And to be fair, I also forgot of Nami and her poli relationship, which I don't remember if it was confirmed in LoR or Twitter. And I mean explicitelly saying that they are a couple, not just giving hints.

"Powder" died a metaphorical death, but Jinx is fine. That Rocket Launcher has been an iconic part of her design from day 1.

The game characterizations are one note, tropey and simplistic. Throwing them away when you're making a drama is a good idea.

@@LilianOrchard And a good way to antagonize fans of the game too. This game is huge and worldwide and you're analysis without this context is a core of some things you did not like imo. I also think that's why they kept it soft between cait and vi because same sexe scene are banned in some countries, notably china where the game is huuuge.

Mikaila's the only one who watched this show. Lily has absolutely zero interest in it.

@@LilianOrchard well that's a bummer, sad to see Lily missing out on it

@@pablodonner5213 I am not missing out at all. There is nothing about Arcane that interests me and I would just end up hating it

@@LilianOrchard can't argue with that

It's mostly carried by A LOT of visual storytelling and subtle queues, which understandably not everyone will pick up on the first viewing. I do feel they took shortcuts because of time constraints, and leaned on the visual storytelling a bit more than they should have.

yup, they should treat their viewer like a retard like modern hollywood movie and tell everything out. expecting viewer to figure out on their own is a dick move.

@@normalguy5583 I think the main issue a lot of people have who watch this, is they are often avid anime watchers, and the two couldnt be more different forms of storytelling. Anime normally is full of long exposition, whereas Arcane is more of a "show dont tell" approach.

jinx only show "emotional, psychotic mess" when their is something remind her of the past which silco is trying to help her get past (the drown scene with jinx)-> how is he trying to make her worse ? remember they are in Zaun, their are no asylum and you will get kill when you're weak, useless. you think why vi always try to get powder on every mission when she was so young? does vi bad too? silco have never blame jinx for her mistake, never say he dissapointed in her to the point everyone around him know that she is the problem, marcus say that he want to help him get rid of jinx. does this look like silco try to manipulation her into a weapon? i get that silco-hater will never see past the monster part of him to see his human, but don't say like you're right and everyone else is wrong.

@@normalguy5583 Sweetie, I love Silco and I love hating him even more. I think he is a great character and a briliant villain. But I am also tired of people excusing toxic parenting with shit like "but he still loved her" and "it's a though world, he just wanted her to be tough" because those are like 2 favourite ways of gaslighting by toxic parents. Good parent wants a child to grow past him. To no make the same mistakes that they made, to be better then them. Silco was molding Jinx exactly into his image, fuck the drowning scene was him renacting his trauma with her. His intentions may be "good" deep down- but Jinx doesn't need to be told everything is great with her because everything is not great. She is clearly tormented by trauma and guilt, and Silco cannot teach her how to healthly cope with those because he himself has no healthy coping mechanisms. Also the way he talked to Jinx about Vi, the way he molded and manipulated that narrative so that Jinx would feel like she has no one but him and no one to rely on but him- it's an abusive tactic. Jinx isn't emotional psychotic mess only in certain situations- she always is in certain situations. She is constantly bouncing off the walls and her parent told her that yup, this is normal and she needs to channel all those negative feelings into violence, and instead of providing some way to work through all those issuess he tells her the only way is to try to shut it all out. Beside, yup, Vi took Powdwr gor a heist- thing that was framed as a mistake on her part and was later told off by Vander for it. But she was a kid then. Again- I am not making a judgment about Silco's motivations because frankly, they do not matter. He can and probably really belived he was doing the very best and it still does not matter because you can hurt people even when caring a lot about them. And I think this series is wonderfully showcasing that. The truth is a lot of people will grow up with narcissit for a parent. He won't be Silco, but he may use a lot of manipulation tactics Silco used and disguise them as love. And I do not want people to think that if you love your parent and they say they love you, that excuses the shit they put you through.
