Netflix sure loves to make us wait for new seasons.

better late than never i guess but before i get into season 2, i need to rewatch the first as a refresher. cant expect me to memorize every single goddamn thing... lol
Just gonna post my thoughts as I watch.

I'm delighted Mel survived, they were cagey about it and I thought they might've killed her off.

The character designs are still gorgeous. The Councilwoman replacing her damaged eye with gold plating is fucking inspired. She's also voiced by the actress that voiced Alleria in WoW if that was driving anyone else crazy. Salo looks like he might be a bit more than just a background council member this time around.

JFC, the detail. Caitlyn has fucking cracks in her lips where they're chapped.

Goddamn, I was expecting the veiled woman to be Jinx, but it being that kid's mom with a fucking magic double-bladed chainsaw is way better. Was worried Mel was gonna get it, but they're just fucking with us again. Phew.

I'm guessing the green is Jinx's own homemade Hextech. Nice way of differentiating it from Jayce's blue. I thought it might be Shimmer at first, but they still have the purple Shimmer in the Big Daddies, so I'm gueeeessing it's different? But it's also not exploding at all so maybe not. Maybe it's Shimmer refined with Hextech.

I knew drunken hobo dude was too designed to be a random drunken hobo. I don't know what LoL hero uses a shield like that, but I bet there's one.

As a gay man, Mel's mother makes me want to test the hornyposting rule. But that's also true of Mel, so it's to be expected.

Oh god, the first banger. Gonna have to add this Heavy is the Crown song to my playlist immediately.

I'm a little amused that Caitlyn's strike force is her, Vi, and the three random people that happened to be at the memorial lol. It's a cute touch that it's a five-man team, just like a LoL group. Maybe the fish guy is their jungler <_<

They have a fairly extensive recap at the start.

And animation takes a loooooong time, especially animation this detailed.

Alright, episode two.

FUCK ME, immediately with another banger.

Again, love the designs. The three drug dealer. The fat dominatrix gang. The cybernetic gas mask Victorian gentlemen.

Oh, so Jynx didn't arm those soldiers. I guess the little gremlin chembaron in the mech suit is making knockoff green Shimmer? Speaking of, I love that mech suit. It's so animated.

I'm not crazy, right? That green smoke was meant to look like Fiddlesticks. I don't think they'll bring him in, but that was a nice little homage.

More fantastic music. Excellent fight scene. Love the jackpot arm.

I'm sure that whole thing with Viktor won't cause problems.

I was worried that they wouldn't be able to maintain the momentum coming off S1, damn the first three were good!
If you need the threat of eternal damnation to be a good person, you're just a bad person on leash.
Not as good as Season 1's Act 1, but still had really good moments like the action scene between the gremlin Baron and Sevika in Episode 2 and the Episode 3 fight when the Hextech weapons were glitching out , and Episode 3 of that first season was so strong it kinda makes it difficult to compare the two anyway. We'll get a nice family reunion pretty soon, going by Warwick's state at the end of Episode 3.

Yeah, it'd be hard to top that third episode of S1, but so far this has assuaged any worries I had about S2 going downhill. It's already not at all what I was expecting and there's a lot more plot threads than I thought there'd be.

The Warwick stuff is the only thing that concerns me, seems like a lot to add that on to what's going on.

Anyway, Mel's mom is way more devious than I was expecting. I was starting to wonder who was behind that memorial attack, I didn't expect it to be a setup.

Oh, and I guess I wanted to add that this was some real subtle imagery right here, the meaning would have totally slipped my mind if I didn't rewatch it. /s

Had to watch all 3 eps with hour long breaks between them to avoid being spoiled
I'm assuming the nonverbal kid with Jinx is a game hero.
It might've been better if Sevika grew tired of the new arm doing random things and finished the fight by brawling normally with it, it's so impractical did she even use the random thingy in episode 3?
I think they're trying to shoehorn in the humor a bit too much.

I don't think so. By what I remember, Trump election made it double down because it was an act of defiance of the media.

If anything it might increase even more unless they start losing sales/audience.

just started the second episode.

the beginning with the music scene, as Jinx is walking through the still images was great.

scenes like those really give this series a flavor of its own.

Heavy Is the Crown is a great song. Wish they played it for more than a few seconds.

The jackpot arm scene was one of the best scenes they've ever done.

I wonder how important that kid who's following Jynx around is going to be.

For a moment there I thought Jynx was going to kill Caitlyn .

Not as hyped going into the 4th episode as I was last time but I am excited to see emo Vi.

Giving the show a view. And heck even if certain works are a possibility, any animated show that succeeds is a win for the medium.

Finally a moment where Black Rose actually gets shit done instead of taking Ls after Ls in the lore.

What is Black Rose ? I don't know the lore very well.
I'm not sure if they will mention more of them but read them at your own risk:

Black Rose is basically a group of magical aristocrats, illuminati-style that is older than Noxus and yet partook on its foundation when one of her the Matrons helped killing Mordekaiser (a big dude in armor that remembers a Chaos Knight from Vermintide II)

They generally corrupt Noxus from within and has connections in basically the entire runeterra in one way of the other (as the series has shown that they know about what Ambessa was looking for even before she could show any hint about it) as they have spies and assassins everywhere. Their objective is basically power but also for Leblanc (the matron who helped slay Mordekaiser) to make sure he doesn't come back. Interestingly she has enough power to actually be one of the 3 leaders of Noxus (since it is a trifecta made by Swain, Darius and the so unnamed character that is actually Le Blanc.

The power they crave is not only wealth but magical, generally trying to hoard forbidden magical artifact and knowledge, that is why you see Black Rose being able to pull magical powers out of their ass in the Act2.

The meme about them is that Swain (one of the leaders) fights her and her constant assassination attempts and some lore is about Black Rose plans not going well and having lasting repercussions, so it makes them look like incompetent buffoons with clown shoes. So it is good that Arcane is doing them some justice.

I'm not that good at explaining stuff, but I hope you like it.

If you wish to know more about the lore, I can give you some links.

Send away.

I know who the characters are but it's cool seeing how they're all connected. My sisters boyfriend went crazy when he was Mordekaiser .

What did you think? Who is your favorite character?

The Huedekaiser is in? Now that's unexpected. I'll definitely have to check it out once it's all out.

As always the worst part of LoL is LoL itself, it's nice to see them actually doing good things with the setting.

The first one is basically the league universe site where there are some bios about characters and factions, alongside some short stories and the like.

The other one is literally league wiki (they decided to leave fandom and make their own wiki) which has game mechanics alongside lore stuff. Here is the link for Black Rose

https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/Universe:Black_Rose

The wiki site is probably your best bet for lore stuff for now, it is a work in progress.

I think he meant in-game, I don't remember seeing him on Arcane yet.

The moment where the smog attacked Jinx had a Fiddlesticks face though...

LoL-verse has a lot of potential but it already seemed to fast track into Warhammer issues over canonicity and retconning.

Still, Riot already promised they want to make more lore stuff about the universe, but I doubt it will be on the same budget and quality of Arcane.

Man I remember them saying that shit when the retconned the League out of existence, I knew it was BS then and it's still BS now. They've been trying to tie it together decently since Viego at least though, I'll give them that.

It is worse though, they are still retconning stuff to this day.

There was a bit of controversy that Arcane retconned a lot of stuff around Piltover and Zaun. It was obvious it would happen since Arcane is probably the biggest success out of Riot since LoL and Valorant and it came directly from lore.

Not to mention that the card game still tramples over itself on this regard too, some characters have stuff in the lore that seemingly contradict their previous lore even after the "reboot" that was the removal of the summoners.

So the fanbase had entered in some fear of Schrondinger's lore: Everything is and isn't canon depending of Riot's whims. Just ask Convergence.

Watched the first two eps. I should have rewatched the first season cuz I pretty much forgot everyone's whole thing and ngl, I don't really give a shit about anyone other than Vi and Jinx because of it.

Some great animation. Maybe a hot take but I could do without the music videos at the start of those two eps.

I think they overdid a bit with the musics but it is just a personal preference, it isn't a dealbreaker.

so here is a kinda fucked up thing to think about

jinx saving that little girl was one of the few genuinely good things she has done

and it leads into something bad

think about it if that girl was not there vi would have killed jinx which means caitlyn would not go full millitary state and she would finally be able to just grieve

which prevents the take over by ambessa

there would be no one to want to take revenge for jinx either

now this would not SOLVE any of the problems between the 2 cities but it would have deescalated

in short like always she is a JINX
