about making it live action, i say it would be detrimental. you can have way more freedom in animation on lower budget

"This...is Vi. From the hallway."

I love Jay, but I think he's wrong with Arcane is good enough for being a live-action show. I mean it is, but I think it is that good because it is an animation show. You never could be that stylised and over the top insane in live-action. That's why anime almost never works in live-action.

Will bonney

I agree with a lot of what Jay was saying about it reaching a larger audience live-action, but I think from the other side, a show like this does a lot to help legitimize animation as a separate adult art form. Yes a lot of people won't watch because of the stigma, but a lot will try it because it's so well done, and then maybe that stigma will start to break down. I don't think the future is everything good becoming live action, that keeps failing. Instead, the future might be more of a variety of mediums being playgrounds for strong and compelling content.

Would love to see you guys play the arcane characters on League :D

Kevin Cleary

I think this is the show of the year. And no one saw it coming

Jason Marbach

inject episode 9 inside of me like...now

Thierry Fournier

When Viktor started running on the pier, I was waiting for someone to say: ''Run Forrest, RUN!'' It also made me laugh out loud when Vi did the Henry Cavill, Mission Impossible, Guns Reloaded move before going into battle with the shimmer-cyborgs. I can't wait for episode 9 watch along!!!

Thierry Fournier

Arcane is also breaking ranking records everywhere: IGN 10/10, IMDB 9.4/10, Rotten Tomatoes 100% critics and 98% Audience Fortiche, the French studio making Arcane, are know for most of the recent LoL Youtube videos (K/DA, the Council Archives and Imagine Dragons Warriors for the 2014 LoL world championship), they also behind Marvel's Rocket and Groot.

I love this show, and I love watching you guys enjoy it as well.

Trae Brodnik

i dont play anymore but i think what they meant by getting new people to play league because its an extremely competitive game which makes it extremely toxic unfortunately

Bailey Malanczuk

League is easily the worst and best game I have ever played, and I have been playing for 10+ years now since the beginning of league. Some of the best moments and worst moments of all time. But anyone complaining about new players are just bad and also new.

My understanding of the Jinx and Ekko fight is that Ekko was remembering, picture perfect, how Jinx has fought him in the past when they played as kids. GAME SPOILERS................ Ekko can kind of control time in the game. But that isn't what we saw in the episode. I think they made it seem like time bending to give an easter egg to people who know what Ekko can do in the game. Maybe Ekko could do that if he got more powerful... who's to say. But in the fight, it was just an interesting shooting style... much like how we saw the bomb go off in EP3 multiple times. It only went off once but we saw it replay from multiple POV. I think that's what we got in Jinx Vs Ekko. Multiple POV... first what Ekko remembers from back when, probably even what Jinx remembers from back when, then we see it again as it goes down with them being older.

Jason Graf

OMG this show!!!! One of the best of the year to be sure. I was already subscribed but introducing this show to me is worth a lifetime membership. Peaches never say die!!

Bailey Malanczuk

Also just wait for this finale episode, yall are gonna lose your minds. It is beautiful.

Jonathan Frederick

People can say what they want about Silco... but he truly cares for Jinx. He's fucked up himself. He doesn't know how to be a good father or parent. And he doesn't have the capacity to "fix" Jinx... I dont know if anyone does. No character once has mentioned therapy yet. Just "she's gone." So I wonder if they dont have a concept of mental health in this universe. Maybe if youre gone youre just gone... sick almost. So Vi finally turning on Jinx could be a product of Vi believing Jinx is "broken" and there is no way to fix that in this world. With all that said... Silco is doing his best to give Jinx the father he never had... the father or family member he lost in Vander. Silco is a GREAT bad guy. Yes, he is a bad guy. There is no confusing that. But his character is truly deep and complex. He loves. He cares. But he is truly misguided.

Jonathan Frederick

I love how Cait's parent's have flipped parental roles. The dad is more motherly, caring for his daughter's feelings, aiding her medically. While the mom was the firs to burst into her room with a rifle ready to kill an intruder. LOVE IT.

Jonathan Frederick

Not me shouting "STOP TALKING WHILE CAIT FALLS FOR VI!"

Sammie

PLEASE! if you reacted to episode 9 already could you please post the reaction today as well and not tomorrow I LOVE YOUR GUYS REACTIONS SO MUCH AHHH I DONT WANNA WAIT😭

Buffy

So I’ve been watching interviews from the voiceover actors and most if not all were cold reading, Jinx voice actor said sometimes Vi’s voice actor would record some stuff ahead of time and she would hear how vi’s voice actor would say things and she would match with the situation and energy. Sadly because of Covid most of the voice actors had to do cold readings and went off with pre recording of each other Just shows more how talented these voice actors are and riots team for pulling this off cause this sounds like they were all in the same studio recording

Erica

This is a different animation studio but this LoL cinematic of Darius is why I'm hyped they're bringing in Noxus in Arcane. https://youtu.be/jlPP9a-zC2g

Jen Smith

Why did I binge Arcane watch along when the finale isn't up?! Oh, because I don't pay attention. Did I go ahead and watch the finale? YES. Do I regret it? NO. 🤣

Alison Hawkes

I understand Jay's comment about live-action, but the problem lies in Western culture's view of animation as a genre rather than a form or medium. The same as Comics. I'd rather hope that shows like Arcane, Invincible and others can turn the tide on that, rather than having to see live-action as a more legitimate way of telling stories. I'm also chuffed we went public with plans for Season 2 to allay any concerns that the story is over, or in the balance of continuing. There's a whole world out there... and though Noxus is a big part of it, you've just skated on the surface. And regarding the Runeterra IP... "Welcome to the party, pal!" :)

Alison Hawkes

And to get a feel for League MOBA, I'd recommend the more accessible experience of League of Legends: Wild Rift, our mobile game. Though there are multiple games now based in the world of Runeterra, and I'd ignore those gatekeeping the PC MOBA anyways.

Julian Ortega

Before my patron time runs out, I just wanna say your excited at this show is awesome. I agree it would be cool to see an APEX show because those characters seem awesome. I appreciate what this studio has done so far and I’m excited to see what they create next. Also, Jay’s right about the ranking system. If you don’t like seeing new folks in your ranked matches, get out of that rank!

Brian Small

When Adam asked Jay to rate it, what popped into my head was '1 falling boy out of 1 cement floor' Yes, I know I'm going to hell.

Erdspark

Since you mentioned it as your rating, the disintegrated assistant was named Sky Young... who we saw as a little girl watching young Viktor launch his toy boat in the Undercity runoff / river.

Oldish_Goalie

I don't know what I laughed at harder... take your daughter to work day or no jaw straw!! 😂😂😂 As far as live action... I get what you're saying, but I'm more excited for animation as a whole just being better and deserving such great story!! Jay, I hope you talked your wife into watching anyway... it's sooo good!!

Megan Lloyd

"Strong enough to be live action" Jay, noooooooo, so hurtful... I'm going on a little bit of a tear here, but I hope you read my tone as one of joy and passion!! The style and design is the point of the show. Yes the dialogue and writing is strong and mature, but the advantage of style, camera, timing and color is what send the show as a whole to the next level. I'm not saying live action can't have deliberate style, but realistic actors necessitate realistic lighting, texures, and scale. If they did shoot it live, the sheer amount of greenscreen sets and special effects needed to match the energy and feel of this would make a "live action show" animated anyway--just in a grounded, hyper realistic style. It's a sad truth that some audiences dismiss all animation as being 'for kids', but the viewing metrics placed this as the highest watched show in the world! It stands out from the other epic fantasy shows airing now because of the animation. Nothing else looks like this. Nothing else feels like this! I'm loving the reactions, can't wait to see what you think of the finale!

Ted Alvia

"The honeymoon phase!... give me a Gatorade, and I'm good to Go!" Fucking Hilarious. p.s.- don't feel bad about that, Jay; clearly, you're an athlete and performer and care about your health.

Fizzle the 6th

People really need to widen the scope of what they think animation can be. Too many people think of animation a childish or just for children, when CLEARLY you can see that isn't the case just by looking at Arcane.
