Television Arcane - Netflix (League of Legends show)

[G3079]

Never played League(played the other Riot game though), but Arcane S1 was really good.

Season 2 has so far had good build up and anticipation in the first three episodes. Looks like it will be exciting. Hope they have a good end in store.

Honestly I think that is an advantage in the case of this show. It does not require any knowledge of League to understand, all one might miss are some minor exciting moments of recognizing a place or champion. In return somebody unfamiliar with the game's lore would be blissfully unaware of some developments in the story which come to absolutely no surprise for somebody who is familiar with it.

Don't get me wrong, I think they've made a wonderful series to enjoy both for players of the game and for people who just watch the show, but I do think the latter ones might have the slightly better end of the deal.

I loved the endings showing Singed and what looks like could be two headed Warwick. Ambessa is a cool character too. They timed her champion release to coincide with the season 2 premiere.

If only someone had posted recap videos a few posts ago!

I watched the recap but I don’t think they’re a good substitute for freshly watching the first season. There’s still lots I don’t remember! That said I’m far too impatient to actually rewatch the first season. I’m still enjoying it a lot, I can remember most story beats, it’s more like the interactions with specific characters who I guess know each other well from season 1 but I can’t remember why.

No wonder it's only getting two seasons. It cost $250 million to make and I'd believe it, it's a spectacular looking show. Some of the best animation I've ever seen. Everything about it is dripping in style.

It's a shame though because I could watch another 10 seasons of this. It's absolutely brilliant.

Glad I rewatched Season 1, remembered very little and it was so good too.

Rumours of a spin-off (same “world”, some similar characters but not Vi/Jinx)
