@@gunlyte4661 The way I remember it, Viktor builds Blitzcrank as a selfless act, to save people, but then his professor takes the credit, so he can hog all the glory and possibly money. When Viktor speaks out against him, Jayce supports the professor despite knowing the truth, which leads to Viktor going insane, and the two of them falling out
@@meshymayhem6099 Maybe they had a big fight before that and Jayce was deeply hurt and wanting to see Viktor hurt as well. I don't see Jayce as an inherently bad person, neither Viktor is really bad, but I can totally see them clashing because they just happen to be different in personalities and perspectives.
i really hope for a singed cameo. maybe at the end of the whole series, we get glimpses of what happens and we could see the moment singed finds a confused, broken warwick, ready for a little experiement
This could be the finale of the arcane series, or the finale of the first season, where the big event where it broke both Vander and Jinx, where Jinx just turn crazy and Singed just find a "good man" that he need for his experiment. Like an after credits things that Marvel do. In other words, I doubt that this series even have "Warwick" at all, and might just show us the back story and maybe a "Beast open its eyes" for the last shot...
Might just happen off-screen with how there's yet to even be a sign of Singed himself in the show But more likely, Warwick might at some point in the present day part of the series attack Vi or Jinx and pull one of his lines for them to realize who it is for that emotional gut punch
That would explain why in both default skin and "Prototype Viktor" skin he's especially supporting his left leg. OMG YOUNG VIKTOR - AAAAAAHHH!!! *high pitch fangirling*
It feels like if this show critiques the political struggles of Piltover, we could get hints towards Camille and Clan Ferros' role in the City's civil war with Zaun.
Viktor is by far my favorite character. I even helped Ziegler work on him after he was released. Riot thanked me with signed viktor artwork of my favorite skin! So excited that he is in this!
6:50 But Necrit, Caitlyn's parents weren't murdered, they were kidnapped and Caitlyn managed to save them. If they were dead Caitlyn wouldn't even have her hextech rifle, they made it for her.
Viktor has been my favorite character ever since you covered his story all those years ago. So glad to see what brought me to your channel is coming back around
5:53 Well, though Katie Leung's birthplace is Scotland her parent indeed came from Hongkong. Katie Leung is known mostly from HP series as Cho Chang for those unaware(I would put some other movie to not metnion just one, but I don't know which one)
I think they want to base the series more on science so it would be difficult to bring her into it, i would be shocked if characters like janna ekko and mundo would go unmentioned throughout the whole series
@@pierceh9555 Which is probably why she won't make a physical appearance, but maybe just have gusts of wind around the more toxic areas to clear out the air to imply her being behind it (and some prayers to her in the background)
Given that this series is focused on Zaun, Janna deserves a mention. They could just show someone praying to her in the background for a nice reference.
@@happypepper9326 yeah but it’s either an ideal he had (like a belief of hextech lims is the future) or was influenced by someone and since this is in the past oriana is not dead yet so i kinda wish they tease the dad or his work protaing to full robotic person prototypes (like a human anatomy replaced robotically) because is in lore he rushed it to make it as perfect as possible BUT that leaves little room for story so instead the before lore is cool and a tease is all i want :) (At least)
Pretty sure Caitlyn’s arc in Arcane is gonna be this part from her bio “In just a few years, she made a name for herself as someone who could help with matters mundane and… more esoteric. After a particularly traumatic case involving a missing hextech device and a series of child abductions, Caitlyn was summoned by the Wardens. She had been recommended by one of their number who had also developed something of an affinity for stranger cases-and their battle with a host of rogue chimerics in the employ of a lunatic chem-researcher driven mad by his own concoctions led to her being offered a formal position as a sheriff.”
The thing that makes viktor’s story so good is not only the depth of the character but also how his story can be connected to the real world. His story also kinda reminds me of Nikola Tesla, probably where the inspiration came from
Knowing what happened to Vander, I can with confidence say that he's going to turn into Warwick. Singed is in Silco's camp and seeing how good the serum's effect was on Vander, he's definitely going to use his body, revive it and turn him into the Wrath of Zaun that we all know
@@jacobkeller7172 Mundo's newest lore says he was a former enforcer of a chembaron, who threw him into a looney house because he stepped on his foot. Necrit literally made a video about it a few months ago. Warwick and Vander's voice under the influence of Shimmer almost perfectly match during the final fight. Also, one of Warwick's lines towards Vi is "Zaun needed you!" and "Who taught you how to punch?" while towards Jinx it's "Let me forget... " I literally don't know why people keep saying he'll become Mundo or Mundo is one of the people we've seen in the 3 episodes
I'm just here after watching the first three episodes, and I just feel bad for how People theorized Mylo. He wasn't even remotely as bad as Necrit's theories made him out to be. And the Riot Team is definitely retconning Jayce and Viktor's relationship. They really were tech partners, and Jayce really was the brains for most of it (So Far).
@@generalgarchomp333 True, but Jayce really was the brain of it all by daring to mix Tech and magic together. Originally in the League lore, it was heavily implied that Jayce barely had any involvement, and took most of the credit from Viktor. In arcane it's pretty clear they were truly equals. Fingers cross they don't make Viktor generically evil, because he wanted more power to improve himself because he was born with a weak body. They made Silco incredibly compelling, so I hope we get the same with Viktor. Maybe in Act 2 the fame get's to Jayce, and he inadvertently puts Viktor on the path to becoming who he will become, like Vi did to Jinx (Both of their relationships are pretty parallel if you think about it)
@@williamsmith6364 most piltover and zaun champs are augmented in someway, to have atleast have the same power to average champs like garen and darius, like vi have gauntlets, not technically augmented, but its stuck in her
I believed Viktor is old by that time when Augmentation is like becoming a thing now in Zaun. since he became the father of augments. In the arcane, it is only at the beginning when magic through Hextech is about to discover.
@@Warden-NiNJeN Vander? People keep saying this, and I don't see it. Who he DOES have the body-type of, is Mundo. The other guy, the first guy they forced the juice on, his body type looks more like Warwick (not that he is, just saying between the two he's way closer to Warwick).
In the show, Viktor and Jayce carried the first 2 episodes but the 3rd episode really hooked me in. Very well done. I can't wait to see how it goes down
From watching already you can sorta tell Vander might be Warwick because when he takes that purple shit his voice sorted goes how Warwick goes but who knows but I reckon he is warwick
tbf the voice might still be similar enough. Although she might have Ionian ancestry, she's been raised in Piltover. Her accent will resemble that. Should. And I think the voice actor was born in the UK if I remember reading a comment correctly? Soooo, eh, but the face shouldn't change too drastically.
I would love it if this series ends up being very similar to Durarara or Odd Taxi where all the stories happen at about the same time, and then they all come together at the end in some way.
Finally, we gonna learn more about my boy warwick! he was my main since 2013, and after the rework I felt like he was kinda left behind on the lore. well there is TONS of champions so makes sense, but now we can see warwick before he turned this will be amazing.
Just in time for my presentation on Viktor and Jayce for my philosophy lesson. I needed some pictures of them before Viktor modified his body to elaborate on my point.
I would be interested, if Riot is gonna mention Two Coats in there or atleast show a Casino with the Tahm logo. Or maybe (that would be a huge wish and I know it wouldn't come true) Tahm would try to offer a deal to Viktor and or Jayce.
im confliucted with asian cait i rly like her LOR voice, and i hope thats more the vibe they will have for her its just her whole deal the brittish police officer
Ikr, if Netflix really want Asian representative in the series they could just use a character from ionia instead of race bending cait. Hopefully the change won't come to the games.
@@lockariques exactly, we asians already have tons of cool characters why ruin cait? Just bring ahri or akali there, story wise akali chased down jhin all the way to piltover and zaun and ahri travels throughout runeterra, this forced diversity is not a good thing and i hope they don’t do that again
@@_SHIN1999 exactly, a sassy brit, is exactly what she is we have literally a full island nation( is ionia a continent?no right?) that is asian we have african on shurima we have old european with camavor i guess we have norse with freljord and whatever else there is we have too i hope so hard they keep LOR cait as THE cait voice she fits the best
Ok. Really happy to see Viktor and Jayce on this; these two make a good chemistry. On the champion's side, I would really like to see some important champions developing in the story (like Mundo before Mundo, Ekko without the Z-Drive, or Camille's role). HOWEVER, if they include some underrated champions like young Seraphine (y'know, to witness the times when she actually suffered from the voices), Orianna and her father, some mention of Janna, or even Twitch or Zac, I would be pleased. Oh, right. And some enigmatic presence from Corina.
She's so not gonna be mentioned in the series but I haven't heard from Orianna for a while and I really love her design yet it's highly unlikely she'll ever be in the series.
@@icemakeop5876 probably gonna talk with the main cast like a background character giving direction or something, then before the scene switch her father reveals her name that would be cool
Yeahhh she's not really connected to the overall lore... at all is she? At least not right now. Her father just made the robot to replace the loss of his daughter, right? So we could potentially see something of an easter egg in the back during a scene at Piltover, given he's obviously an inventor. But that would probably be it. She's too loosely connected to be put in a, what, 9 episode season?
I dont know man, somthing about how sunken caitlyn's face looks really bugs me. Also the fact that they seem to be just randomly race swapping caitlyn.
His lines do need an update considering how they conflict with his narrative we'll likely see in the show... (The accent though? That's just a must at this point, gotta grow that tone in it by the time he starts cybernizing himself...)
I was kind of hoping that Camille would make an appearance in this cinematic since her story is really good and she has connection with C who intern is part of the whole Catalin plot line
@@kujira2065 I know that C us Corina but in a voice line with Swain he revealed that Camille had something to do with C The quote is "My-my, does your dear grandniece know what 'C' has been up to". Look it up Not only that but Necrit already did a video on this concluding that there was no way C was Camille (because of the cards, duh) but instead had something else to do with her, perhaps hiring her ? Perhaps giving her info ? Something like that, and that connection interests me
@@lecat127 well Corina is a mastermind and she has a line in lor that says: "dont those fools know i run this place?". It might be possible that Corina is manipulating Camille and Caitlyn is the only one that can match her criminal mind.
@@mlekosojowe7312 i dont believe corina is any stronger than camille but they might have negociated info or maybe camille is the reason corina was able to infiltrate, you know, camille will do anything for the good of the ferros clan and maybe corina had something good to offer
@@vixo4369 From LoR cards you can see that Caitlyn's interacting with Corina as a friend at least, so they definitely know each other for a very long time. I dont think Camille had anything to do with it. But Corina seems to be the LeBlanc of Zaun. I hope we will see more of her in Arcane.
Because Warwick is the best boi (And also it's almost a necessity to have the champion special interaction quotes to get context in the show, like Fiddle's "Jinx, all your fault!")
There's still some of the champions that possible to be seen in the series. - Camille - Dr. Mundo - Singed - Maybe Urgot - Maybe Twitch But it would be interesting if they also remake the Awaken video. Camille, Jhin, Zed, Shen, and Akali.
No. Don't bring the Ionian edgelords into the show for fan service. Piltover is plenty good a story on its own no need to focus on its nieche interaction with the kinkou and jhin.
Considering how dated Singed is in terms of model, aesthetics and even his name I wouldn't be surprised if they remade Singed into Silco. Nothing is really known about Singed. We don't know his name, his origins, anything really but he is probably the oldest living thing in Zaun. He's just a lankey mad scientist with a shield for some unknown reason which has always been odd. Then we have Silco who appears to be a shot caller making some purple chemical which is most likely going to turn Jinx insane, which funnily enough the name of Singed's ultimate is Insanity Potion. Silco also seems to use this chemical to enhance his abilities much like what Singed does in general. Singed and Silco are so similar to the point they both have an odd mutated left eye which I can only assume was caused due to some bizarre experiment. Now the name Singed has always been weird but what if in the end of Arcane Silco is presumed dead after falling into a vat of chemicals that he managed to survive but has left his flesh completely... Singed. Thus Silco is dead and Singed is born anew. Which would be incredible.
Honestly why is this the first I'm seeing this theory? Barring any facts that would make this impossible, it makes sense. Singed obviously isn't his ACTUAL name if you think about it. That's a nickname type deal. It would make sense too since Warwick is heavily connected to Jinx and Vi - but he isn't revealed yet, and if he is in the show, Singed *has* to be in the show. Arguably though, if you compare Singed and Silco's appearance... they kinda look too dissimilar for this to be the case, but it's not impossible. Especially if you consider the possibility for a visual update to Singed.
Umm, the first shot you said was Viktor was pretty clearly Jayce. The jaw was totally wrong for Viktor, we already know Jayce is an egomaniac and would be pretty likely to have banners all over the place of himself, and it would make no sense for Viktor to have two shots while everyone else had one.
True but depending on the timeline, wouldn't Ionia be at war with Noxus around this time? If so, then Singed should already be an established mad man. Can't brush off the similarities though. They even have similar facial deformities.
5:40 Abit of a rant, but remember when they made Taliyah look European in LoR prior to what we have now ? I think this is a similar treatment. I don't really like they make Caitlyn look Asian, nothing against Asian people, heck I'm Asian myself, but Caitlyn was always depicted as Caucasian. Changing these kind of details is upsetting. It seems like they're desperate to make the characters look diverse by sacrificing Caitlyn's original Westerner look. They could've just introduce new Asian characters to the roster similar to Mel which is representing the Blacks while preserving Caitlyn's original depiction that we had invested on.
Yeah no xD No one makes that many episodes for anything anymore, at least for one season. They've released the release schedule for the episodes though if you haven't seen and I think its 9
i think Arcane is gonna have at least 3 seasons, because there is so much to cover about piltover and how it interacts with the world, even tho these are shown to be the main characters we still missing - von yipp - twitch - Caitlyn and C (not Camille) - Camille and so many more
I’m all for Asian characters, but I will miss Caitlyns British accent. Or maybe she’ll have one anyways, or maybe she picked it up from somewhere else. Either way I’ll miss it. Also please have Camille in the show. She even has a quote about how the sisters lost their parents.
They could have introduced a new Asian character. Changing an already existing one seems super weird. They'd never done this with Senna for example. Double standards.
@@ajarnloma3368 Well since we've gotten to hear the VA in with full flushed out lines, yes we can tell that she still has the UK accent. But at the time we couldn't tell for sure how they would handle her character.
Silly thought but on the idea that Vander is Warwick, his name backwards is Rednav which could be a reference to Warwick's ability to follow/navigate trails of (red) blood? Again, just a random thought lol
I know right, I was hoping it's because she's young on that time. But they better do me justice when the series comes out, she's not an asian and literally not looking like a asian british thing
Well, when Vander appeared, all I thought about was that Oscar Vander Bogdan - LEC player is already higher in hierarchy than TobiasFate and Necrit being in Pentakill lore and Necritos of Camavor being mentioned in main lore by LoR.
I hope your channel gets some more attention once the show comes out! I imagine it will bring some competition for you, so I hope you as the original stay on top.
now this is just a theory cuz jhin is supposed to be ionian or something like that but he did interact with camile and she is from piltover so the whole deal in ionia with shen and zed and whatnot could be happening after arcane
