For copyright reasons, full-length reactions don't include the show or movie footage so you'll need to have your own copy to watch along with me. Ideally, you'll need two screens or two browser windows. One for the reaction, and the other for the show you're watching. Using your mobile is also viable to watch one of them.

As many different streaming services in different countries often play trailers or recaps before the show starts, the easiest way I've found to sync up footage is to find the first frame of the episode, generally right after the opening credits finish on your own copy (unless of course, the show has a cold open), then pause it. Don't worry, I show you the frame to look for at the beginning of each full-length reaction! Next, play the reaction and you'll see a countdown timer at the end of the intro and when the show is about to start. Press "play" on your copy when the timer reaches 0:00.

A small (but muted) portion of the show will stay on the screen to allow you to properly sync up your copy if you need to adjust it. The easiest way to eliminate any small discrepancies between the two is to rapidly pause and unpause the video that's ahead until both are running simultaneously.

There's something I'd like to add for your enjoyment that just adds some context that you won't have that enriches a scene. Heimerdinger is a yordle, which are creatures who come from a magical realm called Bandle City. They are known far and wide for both their magical abilities and ingenuity but as you've seen they are few and far between in Piltover/Zaun (we've seen three I can count besides Heimerdinger). In the episode where Silco threatens Markus' daughter one of the "thugs" is reading a book about a yordle (we know this yordle very well as those who are familiar with the games) but I love the idea that for most children in Piltover/Zaun the residents of Bandle City are basically fairy tale characters. So when this little girl sees a real live Yordle on the street she immediately gathers all the bits of parts of machines she owns and hands them to him so he can show her something amazing. Heimerdinger does not disappoint and if you pay attention you will see that the parts he assembles into the top are not the parts she gave him. It isn't clear if he does this by sleight of hand or by magic, but the latter would be especially interesting since he stands so strictly against the use of magic at the beginning of the series. Also, knowing what I know about Yordles I don't blame the mom for shoeing her daughter away. They have a tendency to behave like very good natured fae, and you never know what kind of mischief they might cause.

That's so interesting. Arcane has got to me so much, that I found myself on the LoL website the other night, looking up all the champions to see how they compare to the show. 😂 While I doubt I'll ever play League, I'm now VERY interested to see what Riot does with the MMO. 👀
