The fact you remember HAROLD'S name of all people is a testament to how much attention you give to the details of this show, can't wait to enjoy season 2 with ya.
I've been waiting THREE WHOLE YEARS You have no idea how unreal this feels. Season two has been in my mind for so long, I have friends at Fortiche that wouldn't even let me have crumbs of visuals, I managed to NOT get spoiled after the 5 first episodes leaked months ago. I'm so glad I did ! Act 1 is insane, and if it goes the same way season 1 did (meaning it goes crescendo from start to finish), we're in for one hell of a ride next week, and the week after that. I'm already at my 3rd watch LOL
@@matthieuzglurg6015 I CANNOT IMAGINE WAITING THREE YEARS 😮💨 but I know it was worth it!! I haven’t anticipated something like this in sooooo long and omg what a masterpiece it’s already turning out to be!! I truly don’t know if I’m even ready for what follows!
@artxroyalty 🤣 I passed out during episode 3 two time so I kept starting from episode 1. I swear their are clues as to how this plays out from season 1. They start season 2 the same way seaso n one started with death and devastation
Just watched act 1 and the whole thing is a spiritual journey because what the actual fuck.. the whole budget is $250 million and they didn't waste any of it
@@dafafadila1729 and you can literally see just how expensive it all was! Literally couldn’t pull my eyes from the screen! The music, the sound production, the elevated animation…WOW
@@artxroyalty no ya fr.. like I think if they told you that arcane costs $250 million, the first thing that came in my mind is "oh that makes sense" because how perfect they made this show is
This episode and the whole of act 1 in general is an absolute masterpiece, reckon you will enjoy the rest!! episode three is mind blowing, so fun s2 is finally here!
The moment i saw the Ambessa music video and realised the Wolf Ambessa had been referring to was Kindred and ofc what happened in the M/V, i wen't from "Mel is so dead" to "Mel won't even have a scratch on her".
As someone who’s new to the league lore, I did happen to notice the baby in her womb lit up with some kind of gold essence. Apparently it’s confirmed that that baby was Mel. Is Mel a possible magic user? Idk, that’s what got me through…
@@artxroyalty I'm guessing no, but we'll see. Kindred in the game, can make everyone around them, in a very small circle not die for 4 seconds, so why Jayce didn't get hurt either. After the M/V i figured the gold on her back shoulders and arms, which i thought was decorative was a mark of Kindred, called "Lamb's Respite" in the game Kindred is two beings, The Lamb and The Wolf. Now in season 2, its gone. So unless we see it slowly come back over the episodes, my guess it was a one time blessing.
@@renehoyvik oh thats interesting!! I wonder if what happened in episode 3 was because mel had walked away from the desk and the protection circle had left? (if yk, yk)
My only criticism is that it feels a little held back by the necessity to catch up people who missed season 1. Trying to accomplish that at the same time as trying to move the story forward forces them to rely on the conventional solution, exposition, a bit too much. It's inelegant compared to what we know they can do, storytelling-wise, and I wish they didn't have that pressure. Otherwise, I'm very pleased. ESPECIALLY with Viktor's story.
Oh my gods, Aisha's reacting already!!!! I can't wait! I'm astonished at how perceptive you are (honestly, you remembered HAROLD!) and at how distractingly pretty you are Incidentally, Emily Armstrong is the new singer for Linkin Park, which is why this is a new version of the song.
8:21 🤨 📸 I saw this on patreon, so commenting to boost the algorithm, but bro this episode was everything I wanted and more, and your reactions are fun as always :) ugh It's gonna be a long wait till next the weekend 😔
I am glad to find your reaction asap. I’ve been obsessed for 3 years, going down the rabbit hole analyzing the show, the writing, the animation, the character designs, the lore of Runeterra. I rewatched S1 over a dozen times (how best to fill 3 years wait! I don’t apologize.) I watched this first thing in the morning with my 13-year-old daughter. Then in the evening we rewatched the first 3 episodes in the evening, and damn, Riot and Fortiche put in little things that we missed the first watch through. Little reactions, specific match cuts, editing choices in episode 1 and 2 that foretold the reveals in episode 3. The way this show uses *editing* to tell their stories is masterclass. And I get that a lot of editing goes over many heads. Just like season 1, the rewatch was even better. Which is not to say the first time was not peak media. It just… gets… better!
@@Unendarkened I can’t even blame you! Something about the show is so incredibly special and it’s one hell of an experience 😮💨 thanks so much for checking out my reaction!
I just woke up because I chose Arcane (and an energy drink) over sleep, vibrated and bounced around between various Discords for like four hours in excitement, then crashed and fell asleep. I don't know how, but it was totally worth the 3 year wait. Holy hell it's so good!
@artxroyalty lmao wasn't a choice for me, I knew I COULD be watching it instead of sleeping, and I was vibrating in place in my bed trying to sleep. I was waaaaay too excited to sleep. I legit haven't had that happen for anything in like a decade. And now I'm more excited for Act 2 than I've been for anything in a looooooong time too, but it's even better cause Arcane doesn't do cliffhangers at the end of acts. The act had a proper climax and denouement, but the possibilities it set up are just so damn exciting. It's incredible a weekly TV series can be structured like this and do that, generate that feeling. Albeit it's only 2 times, but it feels WAY better than an episode a week while still keeping that buzz, yknow?
@ I believe we are and to be on this side of such artistically beautiful history is profound and phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I won't spoil, but your talk about how Piltover treats the undercity and the councilors do nothing for them will actually get EVEN MORE nuanced by the end of this act. This show, folks, this show!!!
We Finally finished recording the first 3 episodes of season 2! Now, I can stop avoiding social media! *lol* GREAT VIDEO! Can't wait for the 2nd arc this arc was CRAZY! 😁
I'm probably over-interpreting too much, but with Fortiche you can expect anything in terms of pop culture references. In Shining, Jack Nicolson destroys a door with an axe, in this episode Renni, the chem-baroness, destroys a door with a chainsaw and the expression on his face is the same (I checked!). The scene of the wheelchair being pushed by Embessa down the stairs, a tribute to Brian De Palma's "The Untouchables"? A mother brings a child up the stairs in a pram, Embessa (a mother) brings an adult down the stairs in an armchair. The most striking, for me, is the scene where Caitlyn consults this machine, a sort of very steampunk data bank which reminds me of an organ like in Disney's “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” (1954, adapted from Jules Verne). Captain Nemo, an Indian prince who has become a nobody (nemo in Latin), wants revenge for the death of his wife, killed by the troops of the British Empire. Caitlyn becomes a princess (Piltover is an aristocratic society), after having been a simple policewoman (almost nobody), after the death of her mother killed by Jinx and wants revenge. Jinx who is part of the troops of the "empire" of Silco as said VI (S1E6). Captain Nemo also fights against an animal (a giant octopus which gave me nightmares as a child) which attacks the Nautilus and Caitlyn wants to fight against animals (she tells Vi), animals which live "in- underneath" (Zaun) like the octopuses under the sea. Besides, Silco's lair is under the sea, we see there at one point an octopus and... Name of a dog!! Silco is Nemo!!!
I went into this season mentally prepared to accept the fact that it could very well not be as much of a masterpiece as season 1 and to enjoy it nonetheless. It's genuinely better. I'm still in shock.
@@artxroyaltyIT REALLY WAS! I didnt know what to expect since the bar set by s1 was so high, but I actually really loved everything. Soooo hyped for act 2 and 3
Ha - this is a fast upload! Before I even got to barely manage to watch S2E1 . Well - now I did and NGL - the waterworks tried to force their way 5 mins in for me - damn the music team. Epic start. Intense rewatch over the week inevitable . ☝😶 And I can't stress enough how relieved I am that the first episode didn't suck ... I had faith - but you never know. If anything the opener of season 2 was even better than S1E1 ! Again a great reaction - can't wait for the next.
@@69quato got to give the people what they ask for!! I was wondering how they would handle that cliffhanger and episode nine I was very happy to know that we immediately jumped right back into it! Great way to start it off very excited for act two and three !
I like to stream entire seasons before watching react videos. Even ones as good as yours, I will be back in December, to watch all your reactions and takes.
LMAO you’re intro talking about the debate of watching arcane. I watched both episodes 1 and 2 of season 2z Literally bonkers. I had to pause and take a breath and look out to reality. I was swearing up a storm left and right cus i was stunned at each turn of events. INSANE.
Ok but Jinx has to upgrade her ultimate because that rocket that we all thought was basically a magic nuke turned out to be two handgrenades stuck together with duct-tape lol. Gotta be honest, rips a liiiiittle bit of drama from the epic final scene of episode 9
Hahaha! I still think S1 E3 was able to capture me in such a way that I don't see being topped...but I'd love to be proven wrong. So far I am VERY pleased with S2! What a way to come out the gate swinging!
I know right? I waited 4 months as well. In fact, your channel was the very first reaction channel I found who hadn't finished Arcane yet, so you were just slightly behind me. I think you were on episode 3 (maybe?) and I was still very fresh into the Arcane reaction channel HYPE! I have never watched reactions for any other show or movie, but Arcane reactions is almost as addictive as the show itself... *_ONE_* episode in particular... 🐵💥😭
I’m so glad I caught on so late, the way I see it we got lucky 😅 I can’t tell if me relentlessly searching for ep 3 reactions is sadistic or not…BUT I enjoy the emotional reactions too much 😂
@artxroyalty pretty sure my face will just be this : 😬 for all of act 2 whenever Caitlyn is on the screen.... NGL she's still one of my favourite characters even if I hate her current actions. I'm just so intrigued where the story will go from here.
At moments, the echoes and callbacks raise this to visual poetry. Not always pleasant poetry, but still. For me the Piltover/Zaun relationship is summed up by the moment between Heimerdinger and the little girl in S1E8. She brings him raw materials she's unearthed, he transforms them into something astounding, but before it can move past that, old grudges and distrust pull them apart. Or perhaps that's just the sanitized Piltie view... the scene likely looked very different through the eyes of the intervening mother figure. If the refugees from the Rune Wars that founded Piltover had never shown up, what would Zaun look like? Would the self-destructive factionalism manifested by the Chem Barons be present in another guise? I am reminded of the uncomfortable adage: being a victim doesn't always equate to being virtuous, but being a victimizer never does.
I saw you filming more content with no glasses and was about to comment about it, but then you mentioned it. 👍 I like it, i just hope you see ok without them lol :)
Hahaha the amount of messages I got that were jokingly like, "ditch the glasses" cracked me up, genuinely made me feel good though! I can see without them, it's for the screens (ya girls a bit light sensitive)
now that you mention it, i'm genuinely curious how many actually watched the leaks. i completely forgot about it since i didn't want it to ruin my Arcane experience.
I couldn't bring myself to do it, as an artist myself, I respect the team too much to do so. Besides...imagine your first watch not even being top notch quality...
I really don't get why anyone would think Noxian soldiers being in Piltover is a good thing. Most obvious 3rd act is Ambessa trying to use the civil war as a pretext to conquer both cities, and both sides having to come too tether to fight a foreign threat. Which was literally the conversation Silco and Jayce had during their negotiations.
Me looking at my pre season 2 Jayvik charm where Jayce is carrying Viktor- "Eh, close enough prediction i guess" 😂 I'm loving s2 SO much so far!!! I also finished my COME PLAY animation btw, posted it yesterday! Just in time for Act 1 👍
@@artxroyalty you can totally look at this season with nuance and understand Piltover while still rooting for Zaun! empathy for sure isnt mutually exclusive
I feel bad for Caitlin, but Piltover continually refused to acknowledge the role they've played in these events. It's not even malicious. Thteyre completely blind to the suffering of the underground.
Nah, Mel might’ve proposed it but Heim’s inaction and tone deaf nature over the years did that as Jayce made clear. People are out here suffering, “Humans don’t live for hundreds of years… we need a leadership”
@artxroyalty Right?!!!! I whist time move faster, but I'm afraid jaja, I understand everyone's motives and feelings but omg a lot of this makes me so sad and mad, but also is great, Caitlyn please open your eyes 🙏 the parallels between every character are awesome ❤️
How many people took a deep breath before they hit that play button for S2:E1?
I stopped breathing when I pressed play.... 😳
I woke up, wipe my drool, and straight into watching
What makes you think I’m breathing now 😮💨
how'd you knowww, I also paused like a couple seconds into the first episode to be like "I'm actually watching ep 1 of arcane S2 right now..."
my wife was making fun of me because i was misty eyed at the end of every episode. the scenes weren't even sad. i said i wasn't sad. just emotionally overwhelmed.
"It's currently midnight. I'm in my room, awake, talking to my camera."

@artxroyalty pretty sure my face will just be this : 😬 for all of act 2 whenever Caitlyn is on the screen.... NGL she's still one of my favourite characters even if I hate her current actions. I'm just so intrigued where the story will go from here.
This episode is soooooo good!!!🔥🔥🔥
LITERALLY! What a way to kick it off!
At moments, the echoes and callbacks raise this to visual poetry. Not always pleasant poetry, but still.
For me the Piltover/Zaun relationship is summed up by the moment between Heimerdinger and the little girl in S1E8. She brings him raw materials she's unearthed, he transforms them into something astounding, but before it can move past that, old grudges and distrust pull them apart. Or perhaps that's just the sanitized Piltie view... the scene likely looked very different through the eyes of the intervening mother figure.
If the refugees from the Rune Wars that founded Piltover had never shown up, what would Zaun look like? Would the self-destructive factionalism manifested by the Chem Barons be present in another guise? I am reminded of the uncomfortable adage: being a victim doesn't always equate to being virtuous, but being a victimizer never does.
Ooooh great (underlying) visual storytelling there and great assessment!
I saw you filming more content with no glasses and was about to comment about it, but then you mentioned it. 👍 I like it, i just hope you see ok without them lol :)
Hahaha the amount of messages I got that were jokingly like, "ditch the glasses" cracked me up, genuinely made me feel good though! I can see without them, it's for the screens (ya girls a bit light sensitive)
Only midnight!!! Try 3am for the premiere for us EST. But I respect the grind.
YESS. Ref for the meme, but commenting for the algo :D
this is the way
some things are even worth doing twice ;)
now that you mention it, i'm genuinely curious how many actually watched the leaks. i completely forgot about it since i didn't want it to ruin my Arcane experience.
I couldn't bring myself to do it, as an artist myself, I respect the team too much to do so. Besides...imagine your first watch not even being top notch quality...
I really don't get why anyone would think Noxian soldiers being in Piltover is a good thing. Most obvious 3rd act is Ambessa trying to use the civil war as a pretext to conquer both cities, and both sides having to come too tether to fight a foreign threat. Which was literally the conversation Silco and Jayce had during their negotiations.
Me looking at my pre season 2 Jayvik charm where Jayce is carrying Viktor- "Eh, close enough prediction i guess" 😂 I'm loving s2 SO much so far!!! I also finished my COME PLAY animation btw, posted it yesterday! Just in time for Act 1 👍
@@No1fan15 OMG I NEED TO WATCH
the Pink Funeral
8:19 IM CRYINGGGGG
@@hbeevee IM SORRY 😭 I FELT IMMEDIATE SHAME
i think we all had the same reaction tbh…. 😞🙏
8:20 me too girl…me too 👀
Wow I would of never guessed that Mel is your favorite character :D :D :D
@@wooshbait36 damn…maybe I should talk about her more 😭 she’s my second!
i've just watched the first two and... ... JINX! JINX! OMGSHESAWESOME!
Jinx is great, but Viktor... Viktor is STEALING this show for me.
@@BlackShardStudio yeah, i'm biased but you're right. his arc is setting up to be amazing imo
They didn't even show us Jinx in 1 of 3 episodes, 2 episodes are not enough😂
Initially I’d be bummed, but episode one was soooo good! 😭
Dang, you took that funeral scene like a G. Are you even human? Lmfao. 😂
Earned my sub tho.
I think it’s just bc I personally don’t have an emotional connection to Cassandra 😅 thank you though!
This season im totally just rooting for characters rather than a general side
I'm trying to keep a nuanced outlook, but idk....I definitely have a stronger allegiance to one side *cough* Zaun *cough*
@@artxroyalty you can totally look at this season with nuance and understand Piltover while still rooting for Zaun! empathy for sure isnt mutually exclusive
I had faith the whole time they couldn't kill such a great character like mel
I'm sooo glad they didn't, I absolutely love her! I just need them to explain how she survived lol
Lo dije.. bienvenida! 😉
Oooh im so readyy
"Harold not now" pffft 🤣
Like...? Sir we're being attacked? Why are you on hallway duty, GET OUT THERE!
Aisha can you pls do a mel cosplay. You look so much like here 🥰 i think youd pull it off so well.
You know what…I just might! 👀💜
OH THE TREACHERY
I am speechless 😮 WOW.
@@xemz7785 yeah this season is gonna be something special 🥹
I feel bad for Caitlin, but Piltover continually refused to acknowledge the role they've played in these events. It's not even malicious. Thteyre completely blind to the suffering of the underground.
ok so my question is, mel cosplay when? bc you would look so good
Y'all can't say stuff like this, I'll get delusional haha! (seriously though...I need to give it a go)
Let's get it
I fully support Jinx.
You and me both 💙
15:47 who is this DIVA 💜
I damn near gave her a standing ovation 😂
Kill me and keep me dead for a week, revive me when act 2 comes out thank you :D
Lmaooo you're so dramatic (same)
13:34 Vi is worthy
OMG I'm so glad someone said this!! I literally thought of Cap in Endgame!!
when arcane end you gonna have to wait it us for next serie 2-3 year hahaha 😂😂
Noooooo(it’s worth it)oooooo
#TeamVi
Liar!... You aren't calm or chill...
All I do is get on this app and lie 😭
i really don’t like cait this season 😭
She's definitely a completely different character this time around. Goodby cute and dorky cupcake, hello dark Cait. Idk...I'm kind of here for it haha
Cait has just always been my comfort character and it hurts me to see her so cold😭
nah mel got heimer kicked out the council, she will always be a huge L in the series for me because of that
Nah, Mel might’ve proposed it but Heim’s inaction and tone deaf nature over the years did that as Jayce made clear. People are out here suffering, “Humans don’t live for hundreds of years… we need a leadership”
I'm just going to say...I'm processing, I'm so excited for next week's episodes💙🩷🩵
Next week is going to be....insane
@artxroyalty Right?!!!! I whist time move faster, but I'm afraid jaja, I understand everyone's motives and feelings but omg a lot of this makes me so sad and mad, but also is great, Caitlyn please open your eyes 🙏 the parallels between every character are awesome ❤️
