Hello Knights! Welcome to our full length reaction of Arcane. This episode had so many great moments including an ending we both got super excited for. So happy we got to experience this show knowing pretty much nothing about it. It's been a rollercoaster so far and we are glad we get to share it with you!

ARCANE EP 4 FULL LENGTH REACTION!

A small thing caught my attention: at 9:10, Jinx make an unreal jump. She remains suspended in the air for a good second, whereas until then, the action scenes were quite realistic. Then I noticed that Vi and Jinx's fights were portrayed in opposite ways. When Vi fights, it's ultra-realistic boxing. You can hear and feel every knock as if it were there. It's melee with close-ups on the fists and it looks like the fights of Daredevil (Netflix series). But when Jinx fights, it's unreal and crazy, very cartoonish. I also loved the mad violin in this scene. It's so unexpected and perfect to accompany Jinx's tortured spirit.

This is a great observation! I always wondered if they considered changing the frame rate too during her kindof, 'manic' (sorry if not the right word) episodes as well! Her scenes can be twitchy, highly contrasted and colorful but never thought the actions themselves could be made cartoony to also show the difference in mind states!

Absolutely nailing the creative choices there. Anytime Jinx is in combat the camera almost feels handheld. The entire frame shakes when you see her explosives go off. And as you pointed out the style seems almost cartoonish when they focus on her. Contrast is up, some sounds are more muted while others prevail. And some shots tend to be tilted at an angle. Normally when they toy around with camera angles is to make you feel uneasy or deliver a sense of how the character is feeling. I think they did a great job changing the style of how they animated combat for all of these characters :)
