I love the fact that Arcane is all about everyone's personal war, losses, betrayals, stories. There is no good nor completely bad side. Everyone lives with his own contradictions. This song is perfect for this story and for this steam punk environment.
Yeah everyone is just trying to get by and achieve their goals, even Ekko who is just trying to find peace and progress for zaun has not found a way to achieve it without violence and destruction
Actually there is a truly bad side, a TRULY evil character. You, we, just can't accept it.... Jinx, she literally kills people for fun. Oh sure she is "doing it for her dad," but that is a thinly veiled excuse to do what she LOVES. Go back and look at her face as she recalls the Enforcers she lured into their fiery deaths.
The animation for this video and Arcane in general is just so good... The way they animated Vi's punching lesson here and Powder trying to mimic it badly is so good, the way she just throws her arms while Vi is using his whole body to throw in her punches is so good. So much detail. I'm still amazed by how good Arcane is.
Look at who Vi is teaching to fight. The blonde and the one right-most end up working for Silco and against Vander and his family. The other 3 strangers, the one with a mean look and the one with the black tattoo/birth mark, and the one on the wall, I think I've seen them before but can't exactly place them. I think they also turned out to work against Vi. Such a heart-breaking detail.
@@aurweon Not sure, but I just checked the first fight Vi and the troupe get into at ep 1. The one with the mean look is with the blonde fighting against Vi and the troupe, and the blonde at the time was on his first mission working for Silco. Still not certain about the other 2 strangers.
That's one thing I loved about Arcane in general, everybody moved like they knew how to fight with their fight style, brawlers fought much more scrappy than those with formal training, gunslingers and marksmen were more calculated in their moves, the weapons very obviously had mass to them, and you could see the fighter's thought processes and what they were feeling as they fought, or as I like to call it all of that combined, their unique combat language.
I love that Riot and Fortiche didn't recycle everything from the actual series in making this music video (except for the Krug scene, but it was changed in Arcane). I mean, they really gave effort in creating separate animations just for this
I think the part where the music starts and we see Vi hugging jinx is also from the series, its prob the only unedited thing they added that was also in the series.
@@Marius_ae its just there first time making thats why they taking it 6 years but i think they mastered how to create it no its like doing the same thing over over again everyday...
it took 6 years to plan, write, and animate (and market?) Arcane, but after the huge success of the show, even the CEO of riot games acknowledged that they should make more, and with much more budget and crew, we could expect something like this in.. 3-ish years?
@@Static-EN- i think that they could release a sequel to arcane in a 2 years even. They have essentially unlimited lore already existing, so only adaptation is required and as to the animation, Riot employs very experienced animators and has a clear outline for their animation style and unlimited budget
Gotta hand it to riot collabing with amazing artists and not just making killer clean videos but now a Netflix series. League of legends is truly Something
"I had a crush until you started talking to the gun" this quote from ekko became more understandable, just by seeing he and jinx were childhood friends which is included in the video... 🤯
The moment where powder shoots her finger gun and it flicks to jinx is so sick. The attention to detail even just for a music video shows the talent of these writers and animators. The passion they show to the world and these characters is the exact reason the show is a masterpiece.

In the show, we only get to see Vi eating at Jericho's shop after her release from Stillwater Prison, but we can see her and the rest of her adopted family eating together in their youth in this video. In the show, we only see the young Ekko as a friend of Powder's adopted family, but the portrayal of Powder and Ekko in this music video shines a brighter light on what they meant to each other in their childhood, making the meaning of their fight in Act III much deeper. This is a great example of how the art of the 21st century often manifests itself in multiple genres simultaneously, all of which build upon each other.

The fact that they animated imagine dragons, in "the last drop" and then put them in an actual episode of the series, just proves one thing. *IMAGINE DRAGONS CANONICALLY EXISTS IN RUNETERRA*
“What an honor for Imagine Dragons to have their music immortalized in film. Their powerful sounds, evoking emotions and telling stories, now come to life on the big screen, as if they were always destined to be part of something greater.”
When I clicked on this video I really thought that they were just going to take clips and scenes from the series, but they actually made an animation exclusively for this music video. Insanely good!
It just goes to show their commitment and how much they actually care about these things rather than it all being about the money like other larger companies have taken to.
its the same as KDA, riot is just so good at getting people who really love their work, id love to work at riot, seeing the love they place into their work, but i didnt know this then and now im in medicine XD
@@mike7546 @Mike tbf most of the love goes into contractors. Everyone take note that the animation is made by studio fortiche who has worked with Riot for many years. And they've worked with dozens of musicians at this point, if not hundreds. They've been making incredible orchestral pieces since nearly the beginning. If you can find it the making of the freljord event in 2013 is a good watch.
They made Jinx a very complex character in this series. That "dinner" scene was just beautiful. At first i thought Silco only used Jinx to further his agenda, but in the end turned out he really did loves her as his own daughter. This is a dilemma for her because she gotta chose betwen Vi or Silco whose both of them cared so deeply with Powder/Jinx.
@@Shangalarx Honesty I just think it's just Powder honoring Silco's last wish. That her turning into Jinx made her perfect, and that she shouldn't try to be the person she was before. Everyone changes, Ekko even said that.
When you feel sympathetic towards the villain, you know the writers are good. In Act 3 i was actually rooting for Silco. They made him human dan 3 dimensional character instead of soulless evil.
Is not as simple as X made Jinx. It was a mix. Zaun's life style made Jinx, the death of her parents at early age made Jinx, Piltovers oppression and corruption made Jinx, Powder accidently killing her friends made Jinx, Vi abandoning her made Jinx, Silco's education made her Jinx, Singed experiment just made all the former even worst, and she struggle to think straight even more than she did before. Jinx was a product of many ingredients that happened to shape Powder into a chaotic, unpredictable and mentally unstable character.
The fact that the chord fingering on that guitar was real and as a guitarist, I tried it and it sounds accurate. Well the developers of this music video along with riot really did well on every single detail
I can't confirm this.... But I can confirm that they didn't leave any rocks unturned when it came to detailing. I think that's really what makes arcane hit harder... Not just the story, but there's no moment for you to be like "Oh, look the animators missed that haha", every moment is filled with details that keep you drawn in. When I watched Arcane the first time I thought the deaths at the end of act 1 we're going to be negated... Like haha, yeah okay, they wouldn't let that happen in a show, they just lost some of the main characters. But Jesus Christ... When I realized they was serious, and they wasn't coming back... The tone hit hard, and I realized what I was seeing was how the story was really going to unfold.
Arcane is gonna leave an empty space in my heart when it's over, i've always been obsessed with the universe riot created and seeing it come to life in the series is something wonderful it took champs lore even deeper and made us emotionally attached to them. Well done riot, well done fortiche and everyone contributed in this masterpiece
@@graysonb_designs that's what i'm hoping for and with riot forge i'm hoping to see some big story driven games in runeterra universe too all we can do is wait and see
Love the small little detail between 1:53-1:54 of Jinx’s older self flashing in a split second. Just goes to show how the anger she holds inside and her exposure to constant violence at a young age makes her into the person she is now.
My expectations for this show were so low but for anyone who has not seen it, and I have never played league of legends either, it is absolutely incredible. Something not enough people are talking about is how insane the soundtrack was too!! If you have not watched Arcane yet, PLEASE do so! You will not regret it!
I love how the whole MV does not spoil anything for the series and actually made use of the bar scene as its setting as if delving on what Powder's thoughts during that time in the series. And I personally think it goes beyond that by giving us a glimpse of their history before the events in the series. Watching the first 3 eps i cant help but feel like i dont deserve such quality 😂 the writing, the animation, the acting and etc? superb. And upon seeing this, I'm feeling it all again. What a masterpiece regardless if you're a LoL fan or not.
It really is a superb series. Love it, still not gonna play LOL... but the animation style, the facial animation, compositioning, music, sound, writing... just amazing. This series really surprised me.
Man this is just another proof that League of Legends should have been a serie/movie a long time ago...what a top tier animation/music/characters/soundtrack and backstory...incredible !
I agree, I'm kind of worried about the animation standart being too good tho, idk how long does animation like that take, but I'm assuming a lot, so if we get more seasons it will take quite a while to make
@@thorxal5933 Not a problem for me as long as it’s polished like this masterpiece we got now, they can have all the time in the world, work with passion take time, and I’m really looking forward for another characters backstory.
After watching Arcane, have you noticed that NONE of the shots where in the series? I thought just the scenes in the bar and the rap part was custom made for the MV, but Riot & Fortiche just gave us so much more perspective on everyday gang life in this MV. Normally you don´t get canon slice of life moments in a serious show, so i´m very happy they did it this way.
@@wangickw8458 Maybe they were not always enemies and the life on the streets brought them apart at some point. I have to agree with Yulia though that it is really cool that this is not only a music video for the show, but shows us a bit more about the good times the gang had. Had. :(
3:12 Amazing scene. Making the two versions of Jinx stand together as if they are two different people perfectly shows that Jinx is just putting this "psychopath" behaviour up to protect her inner self - the sad little girl. This video + the show is amazing.
Yes and no. Based on what we know so far from the lore (not the show they might change it in arcane but i don't thing so) Jinx is crazy broken mind and everything complete phycho. We dont know how it happen though. that is what i want to see! cant wait
I think Powder after the traumatizing events her mind just created a second personality, the Jinxed alter ego, that is fighting to take over thats why powder has conflicted feelings/seeing things, Silco in the last chapters of arcane will give her the purple venom and then the Jinx will take over for good, being completely insane like in the game with Pink eyes instead of blue
@@xgreedogreed4236 yeah I can understand this but I think jinx and powder are different people in her head. Powder is weak and causes all the people she loves to die, but jinx is supposed to be stronger than this.
@@4bl0vah It's a series available on Netflix, and the serie's storyline is based on a game called 'League of Legends". And everyone here is praising and talking about the series 'ARCANE' only.
I started watching Arcane the other day, and I’m blown away!! I’ve never even played the game, but the show is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. It’s phenomenal! The animation, story line, voice acting. It’s all amazing!
I am addicted to this soundtrack. Its just so catchy, and arcane is a masterpiece. From character design, animation quality, story, deep lore, emotions, voice actors, soundtracks, everything, its just amazing. I dont even play LOL anymore, but I love the series so much. Well done Riot.
For the VAs, as a native French speaker, I watched it in french, and... it was incredible. They really went for the best voice actors they could find and their performance were perfect. I'm really glad for this because oftenly, French versions are... terrible. but that was not the case of arcane. Though, I'll watch it in English, I'm curious about the VAs ! And hello Keqing lover.
@@sagirem Je te conseille de le regarder en anglais, il est juste super, la voix des acteurs est super bien choisi Après j'ai pas testé la version francaise de la série
@@infinityomega1271 J'ai regardé le premier épisode en englais et il était aussi excellent, il ne valait pas plus que la VF pour autant, les deux se valent et sont vraiment bien faites
@@sagirem j'ai switch entre les deux sur divers scenes. Les deux sont effectivement incroyables. Je suis incapable de choisir, elles apportent un ton legerement different et tout a fait cohérent aux, situations. De la musique pour les oreilles
Can we just appreciate the animation during Jid's verse and how after that everything becomes chaos and you see young & adult Jinx singing to the lyrics. If League ever died as a game, they should just have a music career as a company
Mr7Reality Riot doesn't make this, it pays a studio to do so. Here it's Fortiche, a french company. They also made Warriors and Get Jinxed for Riot back in the days
This is just PERFECTION. The storytelling and everything about this is just perfect. And the fact that Imagine Dragons is part of the world makes even more cooler.
The best part about this music video is that they didn't just grab scenes from the series and stuck them together like most companies do, nope, they actually made new scenes and material just for this music video, adding to the entire story.
Dedication. They really went all out and I love it. they didn't handle it like one silly animation project or video game adaption. They knew LoL fans have been asking for years for some kind of animated show. They knew messing up in any way would break their necks big time so they really put so god dang passion and attention to detail in everything from start to finish. Honestly it's amazing and way up there in what I consider the golden standard for animation shows now
Arcane perfectly depict the actual game play of league. Everyone is an enemy, and you often find yourself fighting your own teammates that you start the game with.
Man, Riot is so freaking smart. They spent 10 years developing a game just to advertise for their phenomenal animated series. Simply genius

The fact that they animated imagine dragons, in "the last drop" and then put them in an actual episode of the series, just proves one thing. *IMAGINE DRAGONS CANONICALLY EXISTS IN RUNETERRA*

How is it a sppoil if you play league
“What an honor for Imagine Dragons to have their music immortalized in film. Their powerful sounds, evoking emotions and telling stories, now come to life on the big screen, as if they were always destined to be part of something greater.”
The fact that they made extra scenes specifically just for the music video is just insane
Ikr just makes me love the show even more
Its great that it fills in more gaps with ekko and jinx makes their fight even sadder
True. Some of those could be just deleted scenes from the series recicled.
To be honest, the show needed some of these scenes.
Absolutely what I've been thinking this whole time hhh
When I clicked on this video I really thought that they were just going to take clips and scenes from the series, but they actually made an animation exclusively for this music video. Insanely good!
It just goes to show their commitment and how much they actually care about these things rather than it all being about the money like other larger companies have taken to.
@@ezrawhitmer1840 I love that
I thought we would see this clip in part 3, but you are probably right.
I had the same sentiments. I was shocked to see the whole band was animated to fit the world.
And it actually tells a good point of the storie. They were happy.
Don’t even play LoL, but I’m loving the show so far.
That being said, the show is a labor of love and it shows-great work to all who contributed.
its the same as KDA, riot is just so good at getting people who really love their work, id love to work at riot, seeing the love they place into their work, but i didnt know this then and now im in medicine XD

@@mike7546 well except their balance team. they hate everything and just want to watch the world burn
@@mike7546 @Mike tbf most of the love goes into contractors. Everyone take note that the animation is made by studio fortiche who has worked with Riot for many years.
And they've worked with dozens of musicians at this point, if not hundreds. They've been making incredible orchestral pieces since nearly the beginning. If you can find it the making of the freljord event in 2013 is a good watch.
the hug scene with vi jinx and Wander
goosebumps and tears...
Absolute Cinema 👐
They made Jinx a very complex character in this series. That "dinner" scene was just beautiful. At first i thought Silco only used Jinx to further his agenda, but in the end turned out he really did loves her as his own daughter. This is a dilemma for her because she gotta chose betwen Vi or Silco whose both of them cared so deeply with Powder/Jinx.
Also the Silco scene with the Vander's statue. He realized that his "brother" were right after all.
Vi want her to be Powder again, Silco want her to stay as Jinx.
When Powder killed Silco, Jinx kills Powder.
@@Shangalarx Honesty I just think it's just Powder honoring Silco's last wish. That her turning into Jinx made her perfect, and that she shouldn't try to be the person she was before. Everyone changes, Ekko even said that.
When you feel sympathetic towards the villain, you know the writers are good. In Act 3 i was actually rooting for Silco. They made him human dan 3 dimensional character instead of soulless evil.
Is not as simple as X made Jinx. It was a mix. Zaun's life style made Jinx, the death of her parents at early age made Jinx, Piltovers oppression and corruption made Jinx, Powder accidently killing her friends made Jinx, Vi abandoning her made Jinx, Silco's education made her Jinx, Singed experiment just made all the former even worst, and she struggle to think straight even more than she did before. Jinx was a product of many ingredients that happened to shape Powder into a chaotic, unpredictable and mentally unstable character.
The animations for Jinx's movements are literal perfection, they nailed her movements. I'm excited.
I think that’s the point ;D

The fact that the chord fingering on that guitar was real and as a guitarist, I tried it and it sounds accurate. Well the developers of this music video along with riot really did well on every single detail
First
I can't confirm this.... But I can confirm that they didn't leave any rocks unturned when it came to detailing. I think that's really what makes arcane hit harder... Not just the story, but there's no moment for you to be like "Oh, look the animators missed that haha", every moment is filled with details that keep you drawn in.
When I watched Arcane the first time I thought the deaths at the end of act 1 we're going to be negated... Like haha, yeah okay, they wouldn't let that happen in a show, they just lost some of the main characters. But Jesus Christ... When I realized they was serious, and they wasn't coming back... The tone hit hard, and I realized what I was seeing was how the story was really going to unfold.

I love how the whole MV does not spoil anything for the series and actually made use of the bar scene as its setting as if delving on what Powder's thoughts during that time in the series. And I personally think it goes beyond that by giving us a glimpse of their history before the events in the series.
Watching the first 3 eps i cant help but feel like i dont deserve such quality 😂 the writing, the animation, the acting and etc? superb. And upon seeing this, I'm feeling it all again. What a masterpiece regardless if you're a LoL fan or not.

Thats exactly it. I dont like Lol, but the series is amazing.
It really is a superb series. Love it, still not gonna play LOL... but the animation style, the facial animation, compositioning, music, sound, writing... just amazing. This series really surprised me.

After watching Arcane, have you noticed that NONE of the shots where in the series? I thought just the scenes in the bar and the rap part was custom made for the MV, but Riot & Fortiche just gave us so much more perspective on everyday gang life in this MV. Normally you don´t get canon slice of life moments in a serious show, so i´m very happy they did it this way.
My explanation is because most of the shots are just mad Jinx’s imagination, just look at 1:05, how can their enemies sit together with them
@@wangickw8458 Maybe they were not always enemies and the life on the streets brought them apart at some point. I have to agree with Yulia though that it is really cool that this is not only a music video for the show, but shows us a bit more about the good times the gang had. Had. :(

Yes and no. Based on what we know so far from the lore (not the show they might change it in arcane but i don't thing so) Jinx is crazy broken mind and everything complete phycho. We dont know how it happen though. that is what i want to see! cant wait
I think Powder after the traumatizing events her mind just created a second personality, the Jinxed alter ego, that is fighting to take over thats why powder has conflicted feelings/seeing things, Silco in the last chapters of arcane will give her the purple venom and then the Jinx will take over for good, being completely insane like in the game with Pink eyes instead of blue
