    It is TRAGIC that Arcane season 2 is so much lower in quality than season 1, in everything except animation. I'm heartbroken. Such a masterpiece deserved the same level of quality in its sequel.

      It’d take a miracle to produce a season on the same quality as season 1. It’s not to say season 2 is bad but season 1 is just that good. You don’t have to degrade a product just to praise the other.

I appreciate people like you so much lmao I was actually watching this sitting in shock, marvelling over how well you've detected and EXPLAINED all these film techniques.

    I actually hadnt read the title, Im trimming my mustasch and this video autoplayed after the prior ended. ... I still knew exactly what was coming... From yhe subject matter alone, there is no other option. Only chance it *_wasnt_* Arcane would be if you somehow completely missed its existence and STILL Decidee to make a video in *_this_* very specific topic. Which I find astronomically unlikely as there is no movie or show, outside Arcane, that is really good enough to hold up as an example. You would have to explain your reasoning constantly and thr clip wouldve been 8 hours long. Arcane doeebt require details explainations. Ypu van point out that something is good and the audience will immediately understand why, maybe they never thought about it befote but knve its pointed out, thete is no unseeing it.

    Wonderful video! I quite enjoyed it. I'm not very experienced with this type of thing, but I think it's really cool how the Enforcers were introduced: An explosion in blood-red smog; a gunshot; then faceless intimidation. We perceive them to be monsters with no emotion, a idea that sticks with us even while Grayson and Vander attempt to negotiate. It's always there, even if in the back of our minds, until we learn more about Caitlyn. We see enforcers that are without masks throughout the series, but the masks still linger on others. Most of the mask-less enforcers still have a helmet on, but Caitlyn loses hers. The show led us into the same arc as Vi. That arc being an initial distaste for them; into a realization that not all of them are bad, but that the bad ones are still awful.

    i started rewatching arcane on a whim to try and distract from pain, and as great things so often do, this led me down a bit of a youtube rabbit hole aaand now i'm here, at the end of a great analysis of a great show! i have exactly 1 "complaint": you simply must dedicate a two hour segment to your "deep dives" so i get to hear ALL of the many thoughts and points i just know you were holding back in favor of a more concise script. ok so it's not really a complaint at all, i'm only joking. well i'm not joking about wanting to hear more, but that's what the subscribe button's for eh? speaking of... UNDER 200 SUBS???? actually criminally low. i hope when arcane's second season drops, that'll funnel more lucky viewers back to your channel, cause you deserve it!!

      @@lets-mosey hey if you ever find time for "forever", i WILL be there! nearly finished with my rewatch of the show, and your segment about the focal shift from centering heimerdinger to jayce helped me catch some early dialogue foreshadowing of that exact moment, which made the moment said scene played feel even more impactful. in ep. 4, Jayce, upon being told that he's expected to deliver the "Progress Day" speech, says to Heimerdinger, "I could never replace you!" only to do LITERALLY THAT two episodes later - it actually made my jaw drop. it's one of those lines of dialogue that feels entirely meaningless beyond its most surface level interpretation, only to be revealed later as having a profound and darkly literal meaning. and i might never have picked up on it, had it not been for your video! so thank you again for sharing your insights, it really did make my rewatch experience even better than i thought possible haha
