Funnily enough they are basically the "main character" of the setting, they are involved in most regions and the calendar of Runeterra is from Noxian perspective
as someone whos country was occupied by soviet union...I feel like Noxus is super similar to that :D conquering everything they possible can and also praise only " strenght" :D so I think I dont have to say that Im not fan of Noxus lol :D but I do find the characters super interesting
The whole point of inserting Noxus into this current show of arcane is to explore that region next..no other region makes sense to a viewer who knows nothing about league. They need to have familiar characters for those viewers. noxus has dark magic and blood magic, very familiar with viktor
@@chrishaven1489 I hope we get Ionian invasion. I am waiting for a scene with either Ambressa or some other Noxian to meet with Singed and be like "hey, wanna make us some chemical weapons in order to slaughter a bunch of magical furries and farmers with swords?" I really gotta learn how to read.
@@chrishaven1489 Yeah, But Ionia has too many characters and it's kind of complex. Like Ionia has too many open and relatively rich in content storylines involving many characters. Like, Ionia don't think would do with a 2 season show. You have the conflict between the Shadow order and the Kinkou. You have the first noxian invasion and the possible second. You have the vastayan tribes fighting the misuse of magic. You have the Azakana, the noxian Fighting pitts. Ionia has too much going on. Plus, next serie doesn't need to be about the arcane and revolve exclusively about magic. I think Arcane IS about piltover and zaun, and next entry could revolve arround anything.
@@ElNahu111 Arcane doesn't focus on every single character in P&Z and neither should Ionia. For some Noxian characters, it'd be kinda awkward to tell their story without the Ionian invasion. That war plays a very significant role in how modern Noxus was formed. If the creators are playing with the duality theme then I would think the obvious protagonists for an Ionian storyline would be Yasuo and Yone, with Shen and Zed being the political B-plot, comparable to Jinx and Vi with Jayce and Viktor as the Arcane B-plot. It helps that Yasuo is as much of a mascot for league as Jinx is
But that's the thing. MOST Ionian characters are shaped around the First Invasion. Ionia NEEDS Noxus to be established first to function. Noxus not so much. You could center the main Storiline to the black rose trying to delay Mordekaiser. Ionia is still important to noxus, because of the Trifarix, but I dont think It needs Ionia to be established first. There are a lot of Noxian champions who's identity is barely afected by Noxian invasion, well on the other hand Ionia's character almost in their enriety cannot function without noxus. That was my take.
I really think it’ll be Noxus tbh, it’s basically a sampler of every type of character in the world without getting too intense (assuming Mordekaiser remains off screen) and philosophically it’s the exact opposite of Piltover and Zaun. They do not care where you are from as long as you’re strong. Additionally all the raven and crow imagery in season 1 really feels like it’s teasing Swain.
I agree with that to some extent. Such as thanos operating as a large background villain for the majority of the MCU. But if there is an Ionia vs Noxus conflict, for it to be interesting both noxus and ionia need to be developed individually. Every good antagonist needs development for the plot to have stakes and for the narrative to be gripping. So having one season dedicated to noxus is a prerequisite for the Noxus Ionia war if arcane fans want it to be good. Even if a villain isn't sympathetic, they still need development for the story to be interesting, hence why I would prefer ionia to not be directly next
Let's see Noxus seems like the easy next step since they're so much representation from Arcane. Demacia and/or the Freljord might be a cool juxtaposition to Zaun and Piltover. 1 interesting location that could introduce a ton of other peoples would be Bilgewater. It has Even more Eldritch/Arcane aspects of other places it might even be a good stepping stone to introducing gods without overwhelming watchers
Its sad that the Piltover and Zaun storyline is ending because we'll never see the adaptation of Camille, Urgot or even Renata who looks like she was made for the show.
They will return to PnZ eventually, there will be crossovers in the future, Jhin is from Ionia for example and in the comics he escape to Piltover and Akali and Shen went there to trap him
Personally, I think the PnZ arc needs three seasons. This next season should finish the Jinx storyline as well as the civil war for Zaun's independence, plus I'm sure we'll see the beginning of Viktor's glorious revolution, but I think a third season would do wonders to flesh out the last bits of important lore for the region involving Camille, Urgot, and Skarner.
@@chrishaven1489 If Camille doesn't show up this season she just won't show up at all. Right now is the perfect time to introduce her, and if she shows up in a later season it wouldn't make sense why she wasn't involved with this season's events.
The only reason I don't think it would be Bilgewater is because that has already been the primary setting along with Shadow Isles for the Ruined King game (which is canon) and has gotten some major attention recently lore wise with Shadow and Fortune, as well as the Burning Tides event. For that reason, I don't think Freljord would be likely either since its universe lore was expanded in the game Song of Nunu, and Aurora's mini-game Spirit of Hearth Home as well. Expanding out those regions again would be redundant as they've already recieved media projects that have allowed fans to interact with those regions very recently, so I think they'll probably focus on places not yet explored instead of doubling down on places we can already explore in other media that already cost the company resources to make. Out of your top 3, Shurima would be the most likely, but even then, not super likely as it is one of the more unpopular regions and in the current timeline of Arcane majority of the Guardians of the Sands from Shurima have been sealed away and releasing them would have world-changing concequences. Not saying it isn't possible we move backwards in time into the past when the last time the Guardians of the Sands weren't sealed away, but it wouldn't lead to a very engaging story if we knew the ending that they would all be sealed away. I think it is more likely we continue on the Arcane timeline forward into the future, or explore another region taking place during the events of Arcane so there is an MCU-style overlap between all regions as more series are made.
I'm pretty sure the only Forge game which has been confirmed to remain canon after the lore overhaul they did recently is Song of Nunu, idk about the Yordle game but everything before that is currently in that "we don't know for certain" area. Also, if you take into account the fact that we got a huge Ruination related in-game event, a Forge game, a novel, and then another Ruination event in WR not *much* later, I think it's (unfortunately) a little bit hopeful to say Riot will make their decisions based on giving fans variety in regions :')
I dunno... the Welcome to the Playground music video in the under city is pretty sick. 😉 And they are still continuing with animation. From what I've heard, Christian will be sticking with the animation and they have someone else who will be heading the live action. As long as they keep writing great characters, stories and cast great actors, I don't see why they can't do a fantastic job in live action as well.
Noxus; definitely. Like Shurima right now has so much story that hasn't been explored properly and i think it will be the third region (and if not; it will be Jonia or Demacia). But Noxus has SO many secrets and so much info that has been secret for quite a while. You have the Inmortal Bastion, The Trifarix, Mordekaiser, Leblanc itself it's insanely influential in the stories around the entire world. You have the Crimson Circle and Hemomancy with Vladimir, Jericho Swain and his visions, the war against Jonia. (like they can use scenes of a character having a memory/ptsd or something like that to show us the conflict) There's so muuuuch fr. There's also like this "multi-cultural society" that would be pretty easy to understand for new viewers considering that Piltover and Zaun are multi cultural as well.
Freillord will be really cool to see too; you have Lissandra and her mission to save the entire world (literally), the 3 sisters; the war between clans; the watchers; the semi-gods, the conflict against Noxus; there's so much fr.
If u like gritty pirate stuff, there are 4 seasons of black sails. I swear that show is one of the best I've watched, its kinda like a pirate game of thrones
Demacia vs Noxus probably, sets up on the valoran plains and leblanc (is most likely) setup in arcane2 due to noxian influence. plus if they do Demacia vs Noxus they have a "storyline" for when the mmo comes out copium
I look forward to whatever comes next but 'Arcane' is like lightning in a bottle. It's so character driven and grounded in humanity. The writers had a story they were clearly passionate and invested in. I doubt we'll ever see those emotional highs/lows again. I just don't see me feeling the same way about some of these new characters the same way as Vi, Powder, Viktor and Caitlyn. I hope I'm wrong.
if they do do a second season i hope its freljord. go from high tech low natural magic to extremely low tech but high natural magic. the switaru keeps it fresh i also hope if they do to that area one of our povs is braum. Braum? you might be asking, he dosnt have a sad backstory or any change at all. ow but you see he 'dos' as with braum his backstory IS THE Freljord dudes everywhere. he has seen and done everything their twice over. its just hes so op and happy that you dont really notice how fucked up some of the shit around him is. be it nature, magic or man made. hell for most of his storys, cinimatics and other showings if he wasnt their nobody to almost nobody would have survived. having braun their to save the day on his side would make any other story their telling hit harder as for them the freljord will be unfergiving. brauns a red hairing to hid tragidy, he makes us feel safe while they pull the rug under us.
Shurima could be cool with the azir/xerath and renekton/nasus arcs and at some point the war with icathia and the void and then maybe the darkin wars even. Tough the region id like the most to see is bilgewater and miss fortune/gangplank ark.
If i could pick i Would definitely pick Demacia. I just want to see the mage rebelion, It's prelude and it's aftermath. I want to see Jarvan meet Shyvana and then becoume a douchebag, I want to see Sylas pass from a kid, to a mageseeker to a villain, and end in the Antihero path of the mageseeker game. I want to see Freljord Trying to invade demacia.
thank you so much for yet another arcane video! i definitely wouldn’t be updated about arcane if it weren’t for you since i’m busy and don’t have the time to watch hour long videos about things i already know 😂 your the best and please do not stress about making arcane videos almost everyday! we’re all happy whenever u post :)
dude any region can be the next one, Ixtal for example they can make a series about adventure on a kid character can be random not in the game make a newly original character for the series that series could be any inspired one like a Moanesque, they can do a Ruined king story or Targon love story who knows but the entire different regions are open for us to speculate on, and they can add new places in arcane universe as well.
How i think my favorite regions could be used Shurima - with Echo now being able to use his time machine thingi it would be cool if him and Heim go seek the help of the chronomancers in shurima while Heim researches more into the void (he saw a glimpse of it and freaked out so surely he knows what it is) and the Chromancers are already studying the void Noxus AND Ionia - the invasion would be cool to see , especially the Singe bomb event and Master Yi's clan getting wiped out coz they too op , they could easily show us a "Boy in striped Pjs" plot where a ionian kid joins Noxus after they lose and then boom the direction has now been shifted to a Noxus storyline Targon - even tho the two sides thing has been overused i really want Ionia so i can see Ephelious
I'd love a show or movie about the Shadow Isles and its lore. Much like the Ruination novel, just put into a tv-/movie-format ^^ I mean, the Shadow Isles once have been the Blessed Isles. It would be a bit boring to just take the Ruination book and turn it into a TV show, but personally... I wouldn't care. I'd love to see something about the Shadow Isles or the Void ^^ But ultimatively I'm just going to trust the producers :D They already convinced me with Arcane back then. I was never bick on the champs from Piltover or Zhaun, but I got pretty invested into the show after all, so I have no hard time imagining they'd convince me to love something about Freyljord, too
one of your best videos ! also it sounds like noxus could easily be portrayed to be the "bad guys" in the coming adaptations. I'm not sure if that's currently the case or if the current lore has a more neutral approach
It's actually a very well done storyline for noxus. Their empire prides strength and they don't discriminate based on status as long as you can prove yourself so they want to spread that idea of equality everywhere
I would love to see Sylass story with Lux in Demacia ...Demacia is overall very interesting place where mages are prosecuted just because they exist, I know people hate Lux for her abilities in the game but actually I feel like she has a lot of potential lorewise as a royal who has to hide her magic and seeing her kind locked up + her thing with Sylas, Sylas and Lux are also super popular champs like Jinx and Caitlyn for example ,one thing is for sure I hope that they keep it animated not live action...part of why Arcane works soo well is because its animated
You can’t bring people back in the shadows isle if pepole die in runterra they’re soul is gone . If you die in the shadows isle your soul is trapped and become a lost soul but the only way to revive people in lol is the Akshan weapon : if you kill a murderer it revive the one they killed For shurima riot need to set up the void and ikatia because if shurima have only renek azir nasus cause all the other have tuned into demon darkin in their rush to power and flesh warping magic after falling to madness after fighting the void for years .
@@maofone only a few are still human shape with memory like only champions and maybe 2 or 3 people from the ancient time ( when the shadows isle where the blessed isle before the death cataclysm) can be interacted with all the other one are like Yorick ghouls just screaming distorted things and for them to become those monsters it’s only if you die from the ancient cataclysm or die in shadow isle you can’t bring ghouls back to human the only way is for yorick to guide them to the afterlife. The only one who survived and came back was senna cause she’s a sentimental and have a piece of soul of the princess of viego for everyone else it’s just worse than death. There nagakabouros who fight it cause it’s unnatural and the soul are trap to be like that for eternity until someone kills theme with sentimental magic i don’t think it will make the sakes less impactful cause there no way of saving or bring you back once you die like this .
For me, what would be more organic, better, more satisfying and better implemented would be to go into the Demancia vs Noxus story. It would be epic to see how the events unfold after the end of ARCANE. 🤯🤯🤯😉😉😉
Love your speculation, personally I'm hoping for a Demacian or Targonian series next. I did just wanna add though, I think bandle city would make an excellent kids cartoon (to get around them not having stakes)
While I think we all want to see some sort of MCU style build up connecting all the regions, I feel like there are too many stories in the league ip that they would want to explore for their own merits and they seem to find longterm storytelling to be limiting creatively. Riot has shown that they like to be experimental with their storytelling. That's not to say i dont really really REALLY want to see it though 😅 (The void, the harrowing and the darkin all come to mind as world ending threats that could bring all the regions together) I feel like Ezreal's exploration of Shurima would make for a perfect next series. He's from Piltover which fans would recognize and his story involves the origins of hextech and from there we could explore the tragedy of shurima's past coming back to haunt the modern day while meeting iconic characters like Kai'sa and Samira. (Sivir could also get fleshed out and is super compelling as a random bandit who ends up the catalyst that revives Azir)
I’ve never played…more of a Warhammer and StarCraft guy…but this show is next level shxt, I’ve never consumed any form of media with everyone making sense. I could empathize with everyone, even side characters like Sevelka, how in THEE fxxk?!? Masterful writing!!!! Scary even lol
As long as Linke and Yee are involved I'm willing to watch from now on lol Arcane is something that I guarantee will never fall off the number 1 spot for me, it's just my favourite thing ever
Noxus is the most likely to be next and it would probably be focused on Draven and Darius, with Swain and Leblanc establishing the Trifarix? Theres possible connections to Demacia with Jarvan IV, Shurima with Cassiopeia, Zaun with Urgot, you get the idea.
I’d much prefer Bildgewater to be live action, it’s just a pirate region and isn’t that unique. Also I think less CGI would be required It would be really beautiful to see Freljord animated in the Arcane style. I also think it would be a nice transition because we’re already sort of introduced to a cold winter climate (Jayce backstory)
I original thought we were going to get Demacia and then the following season Noxus which could then introduce Ionia. But now I don't know. I really like bilgewater or freljord to separate us a bit from Noxus too. Either way I think Ryze will pop up in multiple series as an almost Tom Bombadil like-character which will eventually introduce Brand. Great work!
Just know, most of my comments are to create engagement or to explain writing (not always about Arcane). I wouldn’t say you’re wrong as I don’t pay as close attention as you do. I think most of these would have good stories to tell, but agree that they can’t go deep into crazy magic but do have to tie it in somehow to the next place.
Avengers up to Infinity war is completely fine. Such a binding model for making each series feel unique, independent, and cohesive would enhance every installment. If riot is smart with handling their world ending threats with soft reboots and increasing stakes it can be done amazingly
@@maofone Hard disagree. That model makes all the movies blend together. It's actively going against being unique and independent. 95% of them is about becoming a hero. Every character's goal becomes saving the world. They really aren't that great of movies from a writing standpoint. It's spectacle. There are much more interesting things to do. Keep it focused, keep it insular. Tie-ins and returning characters are totally welcome when appropriate, but having the main goal be Avengers Endgame irks me bad. The are better stories to tell. Arcane is proof.
Honestly it depends on how they do things. If things are explicitly tied together then you are right that does mean for some loss of individuality between series. But if its on a macro-magic scales, such as how piltover's interactions with the arcane causes ripple effects on the other side of the world which instigates a conflict that would make the world feel richer and more engaged. But if Arcane keeps popping around to different regions of the world, developing them independently just for overall world-building reasons would you say that would be okay? Same universe, completely isolated stories. Cuz I think that's the path they will take before the showrunners start tying together plots for big threats that happen in the lore
@@maofone I'm fine with things affecting each other or certain events butterfly affecting their way into another story. Or even a character or two appearing in multiple regions. What I don't want is this "big bad" plot where they come together and forget everything that's happened before to punch some random apocalyptic threat (LoL lore has like 5 those btw). I just want focused, character driven writing like Arcane has given us already. Jinx super-mega death rocketing a hoard of voidlings in an avengers style action scene is just not something that I want to see at all.
Finally someone who understands it. Thats the problem i have with the zaun x piltover alliance against noxus. But for big bad they might juggle it by keeping regions separate but all fighting the void threat or just characters who would be invested in this (aka enforcers go fight void while jinx uses this moment to take over piltover) there is some wiggle room and im hopeful
I think they started with the weakest most magic-free region for a reason. Like any RPG, we start from the weakest to the strongest. That said, I don't think they're going to go with an extremely magical and powerful region because then no one will be interested in watching another all-human series in the future. So I think Bilgewater will be the next region, a more down-to-earth place with pirates and pistols that is easier for the general public to digest than all that magic in Targon, Ionia, Shadow Isles, Freljorj, etc.
Oh, this is so good. And yes, im so so excited. I loved your top 3 picks and i think its the perfect way to go. Also, plz do quality over quantity. This universe will be around for years and i think you seem to be able to get on top of the content creation. But improve your thumbnail and make it premium. And improve your videos too, because you are very close to achieving the best arcane content creator on youtube. Just a tip, make more premium quality videos instead of quantity
1. I am addicted and I can't stop making videos 2. Once I start getting ad revenue at 1000 subs I would really want to support the arcane community and commission people for thumbnails!
@@maofoneI love that, thats whats most important, enjoying what your doing, keep it up. This video idea was definitely a must-watch for me. Loved it. Ooo, so 1000 subs gives you ad revenue, i didnt know. Can one make money off edits like Arcane edits or is that illegal. Because ive always wanted to do that, and make a living off it somehow
Maybe lets just ignore marvel for like... Ever. Also: 1. You dont need noxus for demacia, they get into the demacia story even less than with piltover, for what can be seen in the S2 trailer 2. You don't need Sylas for Freljord
1. I agree demacia has a lot of internal conflict so they dont need to cover Noxus at all. Noxus is moreso a prerequisite for Ionia. My biggest gripe with Demacia is just color scheming, very similar to piltover 2. Sylas is definately not needed for piltover but depending on how they want to carry out his storyline they might need freljord for Sylas
@@maofone trust me, Demacia has forests, coasts, mountains, and if you get lost at night you end up in the crop fields where the crows are all that survive
@@lautaroasis60 Yeah i mentioned that in the video Demacia is good so thats why its number 5 (if i remember correctly) but for what's been set up overall I believe the top 3 edge it out slightly. But i am biased towards Bilgewater so honestly as the next Arcane animated series demacia and bilgewater are neck and neck Also Frejord doesnt need to be before demacia since they could just develop frejord offhandedly when exploring demacia so its perfectly fine for the next series to be demacia
You thinking Ionia is the least likely region to be covered but a frIcking FIGHTING MOUNTAIN RANGE would is hilarious, never write stories if you think like this Ionia Noxus Demacia Bilgewater are rhe next obvious destinations Noxus can be GoT style Arcane Demacia can also be GoT style Arcane Bilgewater can be pirate swashbuckling Arcane Ionia can be LOTR/Hobbit style arcane The possibilities are endless
If they do Ionia they probably need to include the noxian invasion. For that to be interesting you need to develop the antagonist, that being noxus. Hence noxus is a prerequisite for Ionia. Now I should've mentioned I was talking about the very next region of arcane instead of what's likely coming up because yes, I believe Ionia will probably be in the first 50%of regions shown but based on the requirement of developing noxus for an interesting conflict that disqualifies them from being the next most likely region
Avengers went to complete shit but the world-building model they used is innovative and is just exemplifying the idea of connecting different series together. I think we would all prefer the stories of Arcane, the live action, and the movie to build off of each other so we can see our favorite characters interact in different ways
@@maofone okay, but I don't think they need to. And it would probably be better if they didn't, because they wouldn't be beholden to that promise of connecting the stories.
I want to see Ionia no matter what, just to see Ahri.Many say that Noxus is the perfect candidate for after Arcane but I go for Ionia because it is my favorite and for singed and his bomb
This video just seems like talking out your ass from minute one "They chose piltover first cus uhh magic there was new" show me where anyone ever said that
It's a good reason to choose piltovet no doubt. Again, a sense of progression does make sense to keep things exciting and fresh so from an out of universe reason it makes sense how they could express regions in that order

As an arcane fan who only knows a little LOL lore, what I learned from this video is Noxus fights everyone 😂😂
They say "Kill them until they're family" :D So yea, Noxus fights with everyone. They also kill most of their enemies :'D
Funnily enough they are basically the "main character" of the setting, they are involved in most regions and the calendar of Runeterra is from Noxian perspective

cant wait for the DARKIN SAGA
After summing up all regions properly, unlike the total flop that was "ruination event"
Its sad that the Piltover and Zaun storyline is ending because we'll never see the adaptation of Camille, Urgot or even Renata who looks like she was made for the show.
I’m still holding out hope for a Camille cameo tbh, Mel mentioned House Ferros in A1
@@cbsyll I would love that too, but Arcane takes place seven years before League's canon so I don't if she'd get a cameo.
The PnZ setting is my favorite. It's a pity that we won't see the story of Camille and Urgot. I would like to see Targon.
They will return to PnZ eventually, there will be crossovers in the future, Jhin is from Ionia for example and in the comics he escape to Piltover and Akali and Shen went there to trap him
Hmmm. I'd be very surprised if Camille wasn't in the second season of Arcane

Out of your top 3, Shurima would be the most likely, but even then, not super likely as it is one of the more unpopular regions and in the current timeline of Arcane majority of the Guardians of the Sands from Shurima have been sealed away and releasing them would have world-changing concequences. Not saying it isn't possible we move backwards in time into the past when the last time the Guardians of the Sands weren't sealed away, but it wouldn't lead to a very engaging story if we knew the ending that they would all be sealed away. I think it is more likely we continue on the Arcane timeline forward into the future, or explore another region taking place during the events of Arcane so there is an MCU-style overlap between all regions as more series are made.
I'm pretty sure the only Forge game which has been confirmed to remain canon after the lore overhaul they did recently is Song of Nunu, idk about the Yordle game but everything before that is currently in that "we don't know for certain" area.
Also, if you take into account the fact that we got a huge Ruination related in-game event, a Forge game, a novel, and then another Ruination event in WR not *much* later, I think it's (unfortunately) a little bit hopeful to say Riot will make their decisions based on giving fans variety in regions :')
Maybe the next chapter, we follow Singed as he helps Noxus chemically devastate Ionia. Which then lead to a third series about Ionia.
Disagree. Noxus is an excellent follow-up to Arcane.
Live action aw come on just keep it animated
I dunno... the Welcome to the Playground music video in the under city is pretty sick. 😉 And they are still continuing with animation. From what I've heard, Christian will be sticking with the animation and they have someone else who will be heading the live action. As long as they keep writing great characters, stories and cast great actors, I don't see why they can't do a fantastic job in live action as well.
@@Tekkerue Na live action will be bad
Yeah, I felt the same way about the Warcraft movie. Their cinematics are so sick. They should've just stuck with that.
Am I the only one who thinks a live action thing set in this stylised, bombastic world seems like missing the point of what makes Arcane so good?
Noxus; definitely.
Like Shurima right now has so much story that hasn't been explored properly and i think it will be the third region (and if not; it will be Jonia or Demacia). But Noxus has SO many secrets and so much info that has been secret for quite a while. You have the Inmortal Bastion, The Trifarix, Mordekaiser, Leblanc itself it's insanely influential in the stories around the entire world. You have the Crimson Circle and Hemomancy with Vladimir, Jericho Swain and his visions, the war against Jonia. (like they can use scenes of a character having a memory/ptsd or something like that to show us the conflict) There's so muuuuch fr.
There's also like this "multi-cultural society" that would be pretty easy to understand for new viewers considering that Piltover and Zaun are multi cultural as well.
Freillord will be really cool to see too; you have Lissandra and her mission to save the entire world (literally), the 3 sisters; the war between clans; the watchers; the semi-gods, the conflict against Noxus; there's so much fr.
I think the Noxian invasion of Ionia is the best direction to go, especially with how Noxus is being built up already.
I would like to see Noxus or the Mage Rebellion for sure
If u like gritty pirate stuff, there are 4 seasons of black sails.
I swear that show is one of the best I've watched, its kinda like a pirate game of thrones
is the ending good? actually sounds hype
@@maofone yea, the seasons get progressively better imo
@@Artemis_666 wait did it end or is it ongoing, this sounds hype as fuck
@@maofone it ran from 2014-2017 iirc
YOOOOO BLACK SAILS MENTIONED!!!
Demacia vs Noxus probably, sets up on the valoran plains and leblanc (is most likely) setup in arcane2 due to noxian influence. plus if they do Demacia vs Noxus they have a "storyline" for when the mmo comes out copium
I would love to see demacia just for Fiddlesticks
I hope the im still here cinematic teased the 3 up coming stories
I'd love to see a League of Legends Cinematic Universe. If they add "Vi and Jinx will return" post credits of Arcane I'm gonna lose it! 😁😁
I look forward to whatever comes next but 'Arcane' is like lightning in a bottle. It's so character driven and grounded in humanity. The writers had a story they were clearly passionate and invested in. I doubt we'll ever see those emotional highs/lows again. I just don't see me feeling the same way about some of these new characters the same way as Vi, Powder, Viktor and Caitlyn. I hope I'm wrong.
if they do do a second season i hope its freljord.
go from high tech low natural magic to extremely low tech but high natural magic. the switaru keeps it fresh
i also hope if they do to that area one of our povs is braum. Braum? you might be asking, he dosnt have a sad backstory or any change at all. ow but you see he 'dos' as with braum his backstory IS THE Freljord dudes everywhere. he has seen and done everything their twice over. its just hes so op and happy that you dont really notice how fucked up some of the shit around him is. be it nature, magic or man made. hell for most of his storys, cinimatics and other showings if he wasnt their nobody to almost nobody would have survived. having braun their to save the day on his side would make any other story their telling hit harder as for them the freljord will be unfergiving. brauns a red hairing to hid tragidy, he makes us feel safe while they pull the rug under us.
Shurima could be cool with the azir/xerath and renekton/nasus arcs and at some point the war with icathia and the void and then maybe the darkin wars even. Tough the region id like the most to see is bilgewater and miss fortune/gangplank ark.
My thoughts exactly!!
If i could pick i Would definitely pick Demacia. I just want to see the mage rebelion, It's prelude and it's aftermath. I want to see Jarvan meet Shyvana and then becoume a douchebag, I want to see Sylas pass from a kid, to a mageseeker to a villain, and end in the Antihero path of the mageseeker game. I want to see Freljord Trying to invade demacia.
thank you so much for yet another arcane video! i definitely wouldn’t be updated about arcane if it weren’t for you since i’m busy and don’t have the time to watch hour long videos about things i already know 😂 your the best and please do not stress about making arcane videos almost everyday! we’re all happy whenever u post :)
dude any region can be the next one, Ixtal for example they can make a series about adventure on a kid character can be random not in the game make a newly original character for the series that series could be any inspired one like a Moanesque, they can do a Ruined king story or Targon love story who knows but the entire different regions are open for us to speculate on, and they can add new places in arcane universe as well.
How i think my favorite regions could be used
Shurima - with Echo now being able to use his time machine thingi it would be cool if him and Heim go seek the help of the chronomancers in shurima while Heim researches more into the void (he saw a glimpse of it and freaked out so surely he knows what it is) and the Chromancers are already studying the void
Noxus AND Ionia - the invasion would be cool to see , especially the Singe bomb event and Master Yi's clan getting wiped out coz they too op , they could easily show us a "Boy in striped Pjs" plot where a ionian kid joins Noxus after they lose and then boom the direction has now been shifted to a Noxus storyline
Targon - even tho the two sides thing has been overused i really want Ionia so i can see Ephelious
My Wishlist.
1. Bilgewater
2. Noxus
3. Ionia
4. Freljord
I'd love a show or movie about the Shadow Isles and its lore. Much like the Ruination novel, just put into a tv-/movie-format ^^ I mean, the Shadow Isles once have been the Blessed Isles. It would be a bit boring to just take the Ruination book and turn it into a TV show, but personally... I wouldn't care. I'd love to see something about the Shadow Isles or the Void ^^
But ultimatively I'm just going to trust the producers :D They already convinced me with Arcane back then. I was never bick on the champs from Piltover or Zhaun, but I got pretty invested into the show after all, so I have no hard time imagining they'd convince me to love something about Freyljord, too
one of your best videos !
also it sounds like noxus could easily be portrayed to be the "bad guys" in the coming adaptations.
I'm not sure if that's currently the case or if the current lore has a more neutral approach
It's actually a very well done storyline for noxus. Their empire prides strength and they don't discriminate based on status as long as you can prove yourself so they want to spread that idea of equality everywhere
I would love to see Sylass story with Lux in Demacia ...Demacia is overall very interesting place where mages are prosecuted just because they exist, I know people hate Lux for her abilities in the game but actually I feel like she has a lot of potential lorewise as a royal who has to hide her magic and seeing her kind locked up + her thing with Sylas, Sylas and Lux are also super popular champs like Jinx and Caitlyn for example ,one thing is for sure I hope that they keep it animated not live action...part of why Arcane works soo well is because its animated
You can’t bring people back in the shadows isle if pepole die in runterra they’re soul is gone . If you die in the shadows isle your soul is trapped and become a lost soul but the only way to revive people in lol is the Akshan weapon : if you kill a murderer it revive the one they killed
For shurima riot need to set up the void and ikatia because if shurima have only renek azir nasus cause all the other have tuned into demon darkin in their rush to power and flesh warping magic after falling to madness after fighting the void for years .
It still devalues death as people are not truly gone and you can meet their souls or something which just lessens stakes
@@maofone only a few are still human shape with memory like only champions and maybe 2 or 3 people from the ancient time ( when the shadows isle where the blessed isle before the death cataclysm) can be interacted with all the other one are like Yorick ghouls just screaming distorted things and for them to become those monsters it’s only if you die from the ancient cataclysm or die in shadow isle you can’t bring ghouls back to human the only way is for yorick to guide them to the afterlife. The only one who survived and came back was senna cause she’s a sentimental and have a piece of soul of the princess of viego for everyone else it’s just worse than death. There nagakabouros who fight it cause it’s unnatural and the soul are trap to be like that for eternity until someone kills theme with sentimental magic i don’t think it will make the sakes less impactful cause there no way of saving or bring you back once you die like this .
For me, what would be more organic, better, more satisfying and better implemented would be to go into the Demancia vs Noxus story. It would be epic to see how the events unfold after the end of ARCANE. 🤯🤯🤯😉😉😉
Love your speculation, personally I'm hoping for a Demacian or Targonian series next. I did just wanna add though, I think bandle city would make an excellent kids cartoon (to get around them not having stakes)
While I think we all want to see some sort of MCU style build up connecting all the regions, I feel like there are too many stories in the league ip that they would want to explore for their own merits and they seem to find longterm storytelling to be limiting creatively. Riot has shown that they like to be experimental with their storytelling.
That's not to say i dont really really REALLY want to see it though 😅 (The void, the harrowing and the darkin all come to mind as world ending threats that could bring all the regions together)
I feel like Ezreal's exploration of Shurima would make for a perfect next series. He's from Piltover which fans would recognize and his story involves the origins of hextech and from there we could explore the tragedy of shurima's past coming back to haunt the modern day while meeting iconic characters like Kai'sa and Samira. (Sivir could also get fleshed out and is super compelling as a random bandit who ends up the catalyst that revives Azir)
I’ve never played…more of a Warhammer and StarCraft guy…but this show is next level shxt, I’ve never consumed any form of media with everyone making sense. I could empathize with everyone, even side characters like Sevelka, how in THEE fxxk?!? Masterful writing!!!! Scary even lol
As long as Linke and Yee are involved I'm willing to watch from now on lol
Arcane is something that I guarantee will never fall off the number 1 spot for me, it's just my favourite thing ever
Noxus and the ascension of aazir or tackling the void
Noxus is the most likely to be next and it would probably be focused on Draven and Darius, with Swain and Leblanc establishing the Trifarix? Theres possible connections to Demacia with Jarvan IV, Shurima with Cassiopeia, Zaun with Urgot, you get the idea.
I’d much prefer Bildgewater to be live action, it’s just a pirate region and isn’t that unique. Also I think less CGI would be required
It would be really beautiful to see Freljord animated in the Arcane style. I also think it would be a nice transition because we’re already sort of introduced to a cold winter climate (Jayce backstory)
I original thought we were going to get Demacia and then the following season Noxus which could then introduce Ionia. But now I don't know.
I really like bilgewater or freljord to separate us a bit from Noxus too.
Either way I think Ryze will pop up in multiple series as an almost Tom Bombadil like-character which will eventually introduce Brand.
Great work!
As a league lore enjoyer, that Void, Shadow Isles and Noxus descriptors hurt XD
Surprised it took this long for me to be called out ok that😅😅😅
If we get bilgewater we could get a glimpse of shadow isles
Hmm i always though the move from piltover vs zaun
To noxus vs Ionia
Guys, remind me when we get the Bilge Water trailer in the future
Just know, most of my comments are to create engagement or to explain writing (not always about Arcane). I wouldn’t say you’re wrong as I don’t pay as close attention as you do. I think most of these would have good stories to tell, but agree that they can’t go deep into crazy magic but do have to tie it in somehow to the next place.
In my opinion I think Demacia would be picked.
So, Demacia or few parts of Frejord would likely be next?
Wdym by few parts
>we want avengers, but in LoL
No no no no no no no no no no no. Quickest and easiest way to ruin it all.
Avengers up to Infinity war is completely fine. Such a binding model for making each series feel unique, independent, and cohesive would enhance every installment. If riot is smart with handling their world ending threats with soft reboots and increasing stakes it can be done amazingly
@@maofone Hard disagree. That model makes all the movies blend together. It's actively going against being unique and independent. 95% of them is about becoming a hero. Every character's goal becomes saving the world. They really aren't that great of movies from a writing standpoint. It's spectacle. There are much more interesting things to do. Keep it focused, keep it insular. Tie-ins and returning characters are totally welcome when appropriate, but having the main goal be Avengers Endgame irks me bad. The are better stories to tell. Arcane is proof.
Honestly it depends on how they do things. If things are explicitly tied together then you are right that does mean for some loss of individuality between series. But if its on a macro-magic scales, such as how piltover's interactions with the arcane causes ripple effects on the other side of the world which instigates a conflict that would make the world feel richer and more engaged. But if Arcane keeps popping around to different regions of the world, developing them independently just for overall world-building reasons would you say that would be okay? Same universe, completely isolated stories. Cuz I think that's the path they will take before the showrunners start tying together plots for big threats that happen in the lore
@@maofone I'm fine with things affecting each other or certain events butterfly affecting their way into another story. Or even a character or two appearing in multiple regions. What I don't want is this "big bad" plot where they come together and forget everything that's happened before to punch some random apocalyptic threat (LoL lore has like 5 those btw). I just want focused, character driven writing like Arcane has given us already. Jinx super-mega death rocketing a hoard of voidlings in an avengers style action scene is just not something that I want to see at all.
Finally someone who understands it. Thats the problem i have with the zaun x piltover alliance against noxus. But for big bad they might juggle it by keeping regions separate but all fighting the void threat or just characters who would be invested in this (aka enforcers go fight void while jinx uses this moment to take over piltover) there is some wiggle room and im hopeful
I think they started with the weakest most magic-free region for a reason. Like any RPG, we start from the weakest to the strongest. That said, I don't think they're going to go with an extremely magical and powerful region because then no one will be interested in watching another all-human series in the future. So I think Bilgewater will be the next region, a more down-to-earth place with pirates and pistols that is easier for the general public to digest than all that magic in Targon, Ionia, Shadow Isles, Freljorj, etc.
Oh, this is so good. And yes, im so so excited. I loved your top 3 picks and i think its the perfect way to go.
Also, plz do quality over quantity. This universe will be around for years and i think you seem to be able to get on top of the content creation. But improve your thumbnail and make it premium. And improve your videos too, because you are very close to achieving the best arcane content creator on youtube. Just a tip, make more premium quality videos instead of quantity
1. I am addicted and I can't stop making videos
2. Once I start getting ad revenue at 1000 subs I would really want to support the arcane community and commission people for thumbnails!
@@maofoneI love that, thats whats most important, enjoying what your doing, keep it up. This video idea was definitely a must-watch for me. Loved it. Ooo, so 1000 subs gives you ad revenue, i didnt know. Can one make money off edits like Arcane edits or is that illegal. Because ive always wanted to do that, and make a living off it somehow
I think you can, just as long as you get past 1k and have 4000 watch hours or 10m shorts views and you should be able
Dont know how i feel about a live action adaptation,but Meh,it'll probably be good.
I think Arcane is a part of the LCU (Lol Cinematic Universe).
Lux-->❤
Maybe lets just ignore marvel for like... Ever.
Also:
1. You dont need noxus for demacia, they get into the demacia story even less than with piltover, for what can be seen in the S2 trailer
2. You don't need Sylas for Freljord
1. I agree demacia has a lot of internal conflict so they dont need to cover Noxus at all. Noxus is moreso a prerequisite for Ionia. My biggest gripe with Demacia is just color scheming, very similar to piltover
2. Sylas is definately not needed for piltover but depending on how they want to carry out his storyline they might need freljord for Sylas
@@maofone trust me, Demacia has forests, coasts, mountains, and if you get lost at night you end up in the crop fields where the crows are all that survive
@@maofone 2. Sylas can be used for a second part of Freljord but you can get a full season and a bit more before ut gets to him
@@lautaroasis60 Yeah i mentioned that in the video Demacia is good so thats why its number 5 (if i remember correctly) but for what's been set up overall I believe the top 3 edge it out slightly. But i am biased towards Bilgewater so honestly as the next Arcane animated series demacia and bilgewater are neck and neck
Also Frejord doesnt need to be before demacia since they could just develop frejord offhandedly when exploring demacia so its perfectly fine for the next series to be demacia
My list
Shurima
Nocux
Bilgwater
Demaica
My thougts:
Piltover and Zaun -> Hoxus -> Ionia -> Demacia -> Freljord -> Bildgvoter/shadow iles -> Shurima -> Targon
No first must be shurima and Noxus , demacia, camavor, IXtal last it bligewater
You thinking Ionia is the least likely region to be covered but a frIcking FIGHTING MOUNTAIN RANGE would is hilarious, never write stories if you think like this
Ionia
Noxus
Demacia
Bilgewater
are rhe next obvious destinations
Noxus can be GoT style Arcane
Demacia can also be GoT style Arcane
Bilgewater can be pirate swashbuckling Arcane
Ionia can be LOTR/Hobbit style arcane
The possibilities are endless
If they do Ionia they probably need to include the noxian invasion. For that to be interesting you need to develop the antagonist, that being noxus. Hence noxus is a prerequisite for Ionia. Now I should've mentioned I was talking about the very next region of arcane instead of what's likely coming up because yes, I believe Ionia will probably be in the first 50%of regions shown but based on the requirement of developing noxus for an interesting conflict that disqualifies them from being the next most likely region
Why does everything need to connect like the Avengers?
Avengers went to complete shit but the world-building model they used is innovative and is just exemplifying the idea of connecting different series together. I think we would all prefer the stories of Arcane, the live action, and the movie to build off of each other so we can see our favorite characters interact in different ways
@@maofone okay, but I don't think they need to.
And it would probably be better if they didn't, because they wouldn't be beholden to that promise of connecting the stories.
I want to see Ionia no matter what, just to see Ahri.Many say that Noxus is the perfect candidate for after Arcane but I go for Ionia because it is my favorite and for singed and his bomb
Omg I'M FIRST 🤣anyway looking forward to the future ❤can't wait for the live action movies and the amazing animated shows ❤
I want bilgewater or sharema
Did someone say gay lovers?
This video just seems like talking out your ass from minute one
"They chose piltover first cus uhh magic there was new" show me where anyone ever said that
It's a good reason to choose piltovet no doubt. Again, a sense of progression does make sense to keep things exciting and fresh so from an out of universe reason it makes sense how they could express regions in that order
