Arcane SEASON 2 Teaser Analysis! (WARWICK'S SPOILERS) 

just the teaser being made from such an unexpected point of view makes me think that arcane will keep on being great and well-written trough season two because often the downfall of a tv-show begins at cash-grab marketing and storytelling and not having any favourite or major characters here proves that arcane is going for interesting and new writing over relying on fan-favourites

I legit did a quiet scream of joy in the middle of a public space upon seeing this had been dropped and when everybody instantly looked I was not even embarrassed like this is a national holiday

Singed holding a memento of his lost child as he oversees Warwick’s creation might be supposed to represent that he’s decided to become a “father” again.

to me, this teaser confirms Orianna being Singed's daughter. not just the focus on him holding the locket but the music and background sound doesn't really make you think of Singed and Warwick, it's more like Orianna, a clockwork ballerina.

I think we could see some interplay between Ekko and Victor because of Heimerdinger. I can see Victor descending into Glorious Revolution as Heimerdinger’s failure as a father, and Ekko as Heimerdinger’s redemption as a parent.

This is a very interesting teaser in another way, too. Because it uses Warwick as a safe bet to pique our curiosity without revealing too much, seeing as most people are already expecting Warwick and him being Vander anyway. Pretty efficient teaser-making.

You can hear clockwork during the teaser, and it lasts until Singed closes the little charm with Orianna's picture, it's gotta be her

Singed's daughter is Orianna I'm pretty sure at least she is what Orianna is based on and with the key words of augmentation and war and also the heavier presence of Singed I think we are going to see a lot more of his creations in this season not just Warwick/Orianna

I don't dare hope that S2 will be on par with S1 but there's lots of room for greatness here.

Maybe they show singed simply because it's one of the rare characters you can show without spoiling the result of the bomb.

I think Nightmarish is also interesting as a wording. The first thing I think about when I hear Nightmare in context with League is the old Nocturne lore

it’s been less than a day and the trailer is reviving this fandom and i for one am ecstatic

I wake up at 6 30 in the morning to a schnee jumpscare. What a wonderful way to start the day

It’s still funny to me how Singed is lowkey to most influential character in League’s lore, even more so with how Arcane is shaping up. I just knew him as the funny meme champ I’d pick to mess with the other team.

I was waiting to see how quickly shnee would post a video after the teaser dropped. He did not disappoint

UR SO FAST HELLO??

Agree, was shocked this was the first footage we see, but it's also one of the last images we saw in that brief montage of images during "What Could Have Been" in the finale. While I quit playing LoL, I was glad to hear they made Momma Medarda into an actual champion, but I honestly am shocked it wasn't Sevika first- as a champion it makes ways more sense, and to be fair we've seen what kind of fighter she is and the no-quit/keeps on coming focus she has. It would be a shame if she never gets championed, maybe she'll be next.

For the sake of our tongues I think "the daughter of Singed" will be easier for us to say than "Singed's daughter".

I feel so bad for Vander, the thought of that happening to him is heartbreaking 😭

It's going to be really interesting to see how they'll fit Singed and Warwick into this continuing story. His League lore implies he could end up a sort of violent Zaun vigilante, terrorizing its criminal underworld and that could well be true. I think back to what Silco said after Vander tore through his men and attacked him; "I knew you still had it in you." and I imagine that'll be a significant part of his characterization in this season. Maybe he sees where his pacifism got the Undercity and let's say overcorrects. And with Singed, his daughter can't just be a dead end fuelling random acts of resurrection. The random creature he was desperate to keep living may have a point beyond the thematic. It would be funny if there were an existing League Of Legends champion from Zaun who happened to be a little girl who after falling ill was kept alive/resurrected using robotics... Honestly though, I'm just ready for the Arcane team to blow my mind again.

I am so curious how many people will have survived the finale explosion though. For obvious reasons we know Viktor and Jayce survive, but everyone else is pretty much on the chopping block. I can see Mel dying because it would only fuel Ambessa's motivations more. I'm unsure about Cassandra Kiramman. And no one really cares for the rest of the council. They're unimportant as individual characters. I think between Mel and Cassandra, whether they live or die will tell us a lot about how the season will go.

The Rubicon reference is also interesting to me not just for the "war" reference, but the type of war being waged. The Rubicon was the river that marked the boundary of the city of Rome and, prior to Caesar, no Roman general had ever marched on his own city. Not sure if my classicist is showing here, but one hotly debated theory is that the decision to cross the Rubicon was as much a power-grab as it was an act of self-preservation, as the Senate may have been trying to prosecute Caesar to remove him from power. Regardless of its historical truth, "crossing the Rubicon" became a statement of no return, but also one of civil war as a means of defense. Read through the lens of Arcane, the Rubicon might signify the river dividing Zahn and Piltover, where we see the morality of offense-as-defense as a key theme in season 1.

They did a great job with Singed, every aspect of that man is creepy as hell. His voice, his face, his lair, the things he does; it's like they pulled him out of a horror movie. I can't wait to see my man get some time in the spotlight. Seeing Singed and Warwick like this makes me think about how the lore of the world has changed. Today, Singed is the one who creates Warwick. Before Riot revamped the lore, Warwick was actually Singed's boss until Soraka turned him into a werewolf.

I really hope the teaser focusing on Singed and Warwick is a hint towards Singed playing a more prominent role in this season as well as being the Arcane VGU that Rito mentioned.

Amazing. So much in so little time. The Arcane writers and animators are a team we can fully trust, I feel.

Given how brief and character centric this was, I suspect we'll be getting a few more of these short little teasers showcasing other characters and elements of Season 2 before Novemeber.

I am so excited for both Arcane S2 and your Spirited Away video!

😏🤌🏼🔥I'm glad they keeping these short

I hope we get some flashbacks of specifically Vander and Powder. We know so little about their relationship, and they share like one line a dialogue with each other. I wanna see what made Vander's parenting so much less affective on Powder than Vi's. The small interactions they do have a pretty sweet. When he's carrying the girls and Powder seems to be sleeping in his arms (implying a feeling of safety between them) and when he gives her (what i assume is) juice at the bar when she's sad. There's no talking, but based on Vander's surprise at Powder's lack of interest in the drink, hints that these moments are recurring to some degree. I honestly love the concept of Powder's touchy nature with Silco, might subconsciously stem from both her relationship with Vi (ofc) but also Vander. Vi and Powder were touchy, they hugged, touched each other's faces, but there was always an underlying sibling dynamic within their physical affection. We never *see* them cuddle like Jinx would cuddle up to Silco, or how she cuddled in Vander's arms while leaving the bridge. This was very long winded, but the point is, I personally wanna see what kind of depth Powder and Vander's relationship had, and how that might dictate their responses to each other in their new forms.

We’re definitely getting a big peek behind the curtains with this revel. Up until that moment I expected this to be an anthology series where we jumped around to a new location with a totally new cast each season, just so LoL could cram in as many champions as possible. But with the focus being on Singed and Warwick (and the child’s music box) they are remaining in Piltover/ Zaun, and family/ parenthood feels like it’s gonna be a main focus.

You talking about necessary change due to the pressures of the future IMMEDIATELY made me think of the episode title “base violence necessary for change” SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR ARCANE S2 CONTENT 🎉

If "How War Changes People" as at all a major theme for Season 2, Singed actually really works for being our first mascot/harbinger of the season. Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but Noxus invaded a continent called Ionia around the same-ish time as Arcane's events, and Singed is instrumental in that war as he's the supplier for the chemical warfare Noxus unleashed upon Ionia. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see a scene where he and Ambessa interact.

Love your channel and the perspective you give me to so many things

Finally a new upload from you. This was an amazing video and I am looking forward to the spirited away video since it is one of my favourite movies.

I do wonder if we'll see more of silco and jinx history. That interval of around 6 years they spent together is interesting.

You always seem to get so much from a few frames or lines of dialogue, which is very impressive. I found your channel through Arcane, came back for your takes on Spiderverse, and while we wait for Arcane S2, I look forward to (hopefully?) the Studio Ghibli era.

I was not expecting to get an upload this fast wow props to you man

The music box backing track totally feeds into the Orianna = Singed's daughter/Singed = Corin Reveck theory!!! Orianna's bio is one of the best stories from the LoL universe I absolutely cannot contain my excitement for this HUAAAAHHH

Super excited for the new season, great analysis as usual! Also, off-topic but I hope to see you cover Blue Eye Samurai one day, it seems right up your alley :)

you got this out so fast!!! incredible work and a great analysis. I'm so excited for season two!!!

Super excited for S2 and your next video!

I was thrilled to see the speed in which you were able to get this analysis video up! You are a legit general in the Arcane fandom. Excellent content as always. I’m most curious to discover just how much humanity will be present in Vander. My world’s gonna come to a screeching halt when this finally premieres. Good luck with the *Singed’s daughter* pronunciation hurdle (vocal warmup tongue twisters?) 😜

The *moment* I finished watching the teaser, I immediately went look for schnee 🤷 because schnee is the shit and is my one-stop Opinion & Lore shop for all things Arcane. And sure enough, ya didn't disappoint, my dude 😉

THEY RELEASED A TEASER?!?!?!? AHHHH MUST WATCH!!!! OMGGGG!!!! and then I'll come back and watch this!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

God even in this less than minute teaser, the animation here is so clean and fluid and pretty! I wonder what this seasons budget was, s1 had a shockingly small budget, and yet that was a masterpiece of animation. Now, will hopefully a few ten more million euros/dollars has given the team even more time to hone their lovely craft.

I think the war focus with a singed angle actually makes a lot of sense. Gotta turn to league spoilers to know speak about the connection here.

I love all your Arcane vids! It helps in the wait for S2. Not sure if you’ve seen Dark on Netflix but that’s another story with interesting writing and the need for a lot of analysis lol

I feel like if Catlyn's mom is dead or really beaten up Catlyn and Vi's relationship is gonna get beaten up also I really wanna se Warwick and Jinx meet

love your analysis videos

I truly enjoy how Arcane has tied the League of Legends lore into the show- it's not one-for-one and thats perfect. It keeps us on our toes with guessing whats gonna happen and how the story is gonna go but we still know OG lore things are gonna be happening like Singed making Warwick. Maybe we get Orianna, Viktor and Jayce are clearly a different characters but that doesnt mean their story wont have any similar ties.

Always puts a smile on my face watching your videos

Thanks for the video, so excited! 😊

Thank youuu ! You're the best !!

Hi, schnee! Great content as always! What do you think about Blue Eye Samurai?

That oriana theory is definitely looking more likely I'm referring to the musical treasure box tune as well as the ticking clock sound in the background.

oh my god a video about Spirited Away ??? Are you starting to go over Ghibli's ??? oh my god this is gonna be amazingggg also im very excited about Arcane too, looking forward to cry about Singeddjsszz daughter too

You're fast asf because this came out 6 hours ago. I love this 😭

I woke up to this drop and then immediately went to your channel😂 HYPED!!!

Spirited away video by schnee dropping tomorrow?!?!? Excited! 🎉

So glad Arcane analysis videos are back 😩

Aaaaahhhhh! Thank you so much!😮🎉

You whipped this out QUICK DAMN

Absolutely love the excitement and appreciate the tag on this one! It's quite heartbreaking knowing who that monster really is, but seeing that you don't know, I figure it's best that you find out once they openly reveal it

Schnee, until Arcane S2 comes out, would you do an analysis of Blue Eye Samurai? Its similarities to Arcane and incredible storytelling would fit nicely on your channel I think.

Having a “side character“ from the first season be the entire focus of the teaser was also the first thing I noticed! Excellent analysis, I absolutely can’t wait for season two.

I can’t wait to see all the Zaunite champions!!! I hope we see Twitch this season, I had a theory that Singer may have something to do with him.

was not dissappointed. thank you for this!

Seeing how Singed daughter looks like Orianna. I really hope they show her as well. Maybe season 2 finale has teaser to both Orianna and Blitz being build and probably more Piltover and Zaun heroes appearing.

The legend returns with another video

I didnt expect they will straight up make a teaser with warwick, now i cant wait

Man, I love this channel so much. I saw the trailer and was like, that’s it? This doesn’t say anything. I am disappointed and devastated, and I have been played like a fool. But then I see that friend Schnee has made an analysis of it. Love it when big brain people share their thoughts with me :)))

Uuuuh, how exiting! I wasn´t even aware of the teaser yet. And did i just hear Spritit Away?! You writing an assay about a Gibli Movie?! 🤩😍 Super exitet for that. But yeah, massive videos mostly have struggles with rendering an stuff. For me it is usaly the storage problem. Last one was 40Gb 😵‍💫 So, I get your struggle and completly understand if it might take longer

I just KNEW this video was coming. Beyond excited for s2

Would be interesting to see a video detailing more of your view on singed, something more then what was told in viktor video

soo happy for arcane analysis to be back

I have a strong feeling about Singed for season 2, even if I don't have much concrete evidence to prove it. I believe what they're setting up with the locket and his daughter in S1 and this teaser is not a tragic family backstory, but a subversion of a tragic family backstory. The subversion being this won't make Singed more sympathetic, but actually a lot darker. My main reason for this comes from a more meta level of Singed's importance in the game. Despite his smaller role, Singed is a champion just like Vi, Jayce, Jinx etc. I think, especially after this teaser, that he's undoubtedly playing a more major role this time and will be treated much closer to what the rest of the champion characters got. With that in mind, season 2 could essentially be the true introduction we get for him, same as we will be truly introduced to Warwick. Arcane has made changes to the champions before but they always kept the core idea of them firmly in place. Where Singed stands out from the rest of the Arcane champions though, is that he's by far the most twisted, dark and downright evil from them, and it's pretty essential to his whole appeal. I think the daughter backstory is the perfect tool to tell the audience "Hey, this guy is no side character anymore, he's a very big deal", tell it in a horrific but very memorable way and to properly introduce who the character is. Do not be fooled, he may be lacking in sympathy but he is still very interesting.

YEEEEEEEESSSS NEW SCHNEE VIDEOOOOO WHOOOOOO

Your Arcane videos are 🔥🔥🔥, also I hope you give Avatar: The Way of Water another chance one day, that movie was phenomenal in every aspect 💯.

ah being late to the arcane fandom by two years and having watched all your videos it's nice to be early to one finally :D

wasnt feeling this new year so far but now IM HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!

I remember you mentioning in your video about Echo how they had the "other" hero but hadnt yet made a proper "other" villian, and how you guessed they were setting that up for season 2, i think Singe/Warwick are gonna be fitting that role? :) so excited

So hyped!!🎉

hi i love your videos ♥

That show really put you on the map ! can't wait !

excited for that spirited away video!!

😱😱😱 This will be my highlight of 2024. I know it already.

I'm so curious about Janna, how will she be introduced? Will there be a reference to the blue bird? Omg I can't wait

Have you watched Blue Eye Samurai? It would be nice to see some videos about this show on your channel.

THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!

Export an image sequence first (png's are fine for web) so that you can continue rendering from a crash point, then render your audio, then combine them again.

Sincerly, knowing how well worked and how short Arcane is, ik each second matters so i belive just a lil scene can show us a lot of information

Babe wake up a new Schnee video just dropped

I'm litterly so excited! 😊

I can’t wait. Can it be November now?

so hyped

Knew this was coming when I saw the trailer!

You're great!

It's less then a year now, only 11 months, comon Schnee, IT'S COMING!!!!! :D

As a Warwick Main I'm looking forward to this

Schnee upload wooo
