Arcane S1E05 Watch Along

Hey Peaches! Last episode we saw how Powder changed into Jinx, this episode we get to see how Vi turned into a bigger bad ass.  We got some serious 'The Dark Knight Returns' vibes from this episode. As our new Dynamic Duo of Vi and Caitlyn run along the roof tops of the undercity on their quest for justice! This episode is seriously 'What if Vi came home.....and kicked ass!!!!!???' The fight scene at the end is truly amazing. We didn't think we could possibly love this show more, we were wrong :)

And once again, thank you, to all you Peaches, new and old, for the overwhelming support of us and this series. Y'all are literally changing our lives and can't thank you enough.

I ❤ Vi platonicly

That Darkfriend

Adam, did u need a cigarette after that "sequence"?? 😂😂😂

Oldish_Goalie

See you in 6+ years for the MMO they have announced they are starting to work on. They were hiring for it this year.

Silent Eric

I'm pretty sure the characters in the LoL game are not "canon". They're like a moment frozen in time. So they can do whatever they want in the show.

TinyTal

There is an MMO in development

Sven Denker

Adam IS Batman. Period. #justice

Honestly I can understand it more in animation than in live action. The models were made for the music video so it's easier to reuse them again. Disney does this all the time with 3d animated movies. While this was more blatant, I still expected them to use the models in the background at some point.

MajestNick

Yo fun fact they are actually developing an MMO as we speak. Its about 5 years out minimum. But its in the works!

Taylor Olsoy

The juxtaposition during the sex scene with the blood and the fusion with the hextech device was just *chef's kiss*

Jason Marbach

This episode was pretty good but I really disliked the gratuitous Imagine Dragons cameo. It was on the "Ed Sheeran in Game of Thrones" level of immersion breaking.

Ross Lewandowski

Cait is my fav too...well until (if) they show WW. :D

Leo

Can't wait to see the Victor transformation! Also you guys see the Halo teaser trailer?

Adam Woodford

Good news for Jay because Riot is actually developing an MMO but they're still in the early stages :D

Gulpie

Viktor literally giving his body to science, while Jayce gives his to politics.

GyozaHappyHour

The emotion on Silcos face in that last frame was so damn good.

Jonathan Frederick

Great reaction, been waiting for this. Cait is my favourite character from the show so far. I find her to be Neutral good (in that she is part of the system so to speak but she can and will break the rules if her morals tell her to), while Vi is currently chaotic good (like Robin Hood for instance). I think this show could go two ways. Either we will get a good conclusion to this story in episode 9 (where the Vi/Jinx relationship/conflict will have a clear cut end -happy or sad both are possible) or there will be room for season 2. In the game, in the lore they are enemies so to speak, but that is it. The lore does not show their ultimate fate. The lore could be presented in, for example episode 8, where we get to that point and see the characters as they are presented in the game. And then in the last episode we could go past that point of the lore we have so far. And have a true and clear cut conclusion /ending. All I know for sure. It is going to be awesome!

Leo

There actually is a League of Legends MMO in development over at Riot. This show proved to me that this world is worth exploring further.

Jack Fuerstenberg

YES ADAM! Cait is my new favorite character! How she refused to get a cush job in politics next to her mom because she'd rather see the world and fight crime. Going against orders to be a detective. Breaking criminals out to help her get answers. She's fucking awesome! And major points to her animator/character designer for not making her just some attractive girl in a uniform. When she was out of uniform in her room she looks like a beast showing them guns. Sure she's no Vi. But she's not a boxer. She's toned like an athlete and got arms designed to steady a rifle sight. So bad ass.

Jonathan Frederick

Yeah, I don't think using the game as a base for expectations on this series apart from character combinations will work. The relationship between Jayce and Viktor is already drastically different from game lore, even though they do have a big connection. And Silco is not even a character in the game. So it will be interesting to see how they continue to create their own version of this universe.

Matthew Bertram

Heya, just thought I’d add in something for you guys to think about as the show progresses! While I can certainly agree that this series is something of an “origin story” for the characters involved, the people in charge of League of Legends and its lore have really been diving deep into the mythology of the world over the past few years, adding in new content with the characters to make them feel less…static was the word I think you used. So in regards to what Adam said, I can’t say for certain of course, but so much of this is brand-new, so it’s possible by the end we’ll get different iterations—or at least deeper iterations—of these characters as we know them. I mean, even Vi and Jinx being sisters was just a theory for years. It’s only recently that it’s been totally confirmed. Hope that helps your mind stay open for where these characters might go! I think everyone is pumped to see where this story leaves them for (fingers crossed) a possible second season. Can’t wait for the next reaction with you guys!

As others have said, Riot is planning an MMO, among other things. If you're interested, here's the teaser they did for their anniversary 2 years ago, and we get a small little glimpse at what the MMO could look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRf9tnWk2sg

Thoronris

That fight scene …. Super man punch . This was a show that wasn’t really on my radar much ….. a “oh , looks cool. I’ll give it a shot..”. Amazing . On all levels .

Andrew Helmer

This is becoming one of my top series of the year! Such an amazing, unexpected pleasure!

Brian Mifsud

MMO in the works, but it’ll be several years before it’s released.

LicoriceTea

Is Vi's last name Wayne. Hi uncle Bruce......

TakumiUK

Well even though game is static, lore about it always moves. So if at some point they decide to move story forward, nothing is stopping them. It's the same as in comics where characters can die and reborn many times, but they still share their distinctive features in those reincarnations. Characters even have different skins that are considered to be from different universes' timelines

Egor Kireev

Oh Marcus, beware the dark side. Quicker, easier, more seductive. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny..........

TakumiUK

Dont you worry riot is already working on an mmo

Cubaton

You guys have barely scratched the surface of League content and lore! You should check out some of their cinematics/music videos (the video for the song Warriors has some Vi/Caitlyn content too). Also, Riot Games ARE officially working on an MMO, but its still a good few years out!

Wesley Geyer

Kind of a nice nod to another character in the game they did, when they're in the brothel there's a character in a Lamb mask. That's the same mask that the character Kindred has in game, her and her counterpart Wolf are the manifestations of death in League of Legends universe.

Trace Jenkins

I think Adam was mis-understanding Lawful alignment, it's less about Law, and more about sticking to a moral code of some sort. It totally CAN be the law, but it also can very much be a personal code, they just have to adhere to it! Also, they recently announced that an MMO in the universe is coming... who knows when but still.

Will bonney

Separate thing, don't mean to hi-jack but I know you'll be keeping tabs. Two things 1. Jay have you had a response to your audition tape? 2. With Jay no longer NYC's premier restaurateur will that facilitate additional content? May I put forward Patreon exclusive Season 2 of Superman and Lois for your consideration.

TakumiUK

Vi is now Ryu. Top Street Fighter (see what I did there) Woof. The girlies boss this episode.

TakumiUK

OMG, I was so excited for this reaction. Why did I wait so much to become a pstreon?????
