Hey guys!
Today I want to talk about a show I got recommended left and right. And for good reason! Let’s take a look at Arcane.
The Plot (as found on Rotten Tomatoes):
The origins of two iconic League champions, set in the utopian Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun.
The Rating:
Let me preface this by saying I know exactly nothing about League of Legends, so essentially, I went into this completely blind. I know that the story is not the one of the game but the characters are drawn from there. I watched Arcane with somebody who is familiar with the game, so those nuances were pointed out to me. But even if that hadn’t been the case, I would have tremendously enjoyed the show. You can watch this completely independent from the game and have the best of times with Arcane.
First of all, how dare they? How freaking dare they make a show this brilliant that made me feel all the feels? Who gave them the right?!
Knowing that this is a video game show, I honestly didn’t have my expectations set too highly and ended up completely blown away.
