Arcane also was having its season finale at the same time, so it had a whole season already to grow buzz.

Very popular video game people still play today VS book series that finished nearly 9 years ago :shrug:

Also the people playing League will be more plugged in to the internet to see ads for it.

Echoing this, although I did play League, it has nothing to do with the show. Show is worth a watch. Its only 9 episodes.

Probably surveys, have a list and ask people to rank them in order from most anticipated to least, I imagine.

e: reading that article and this quote stood out to me and vindicates my preference for weekly releases :colbert: :


quote:

The hybrid release schedule seems to have also worked, since most Netflix series peak in demand after two to four days of availability before dropping off; however, in the case of Arcane, audience demand for it increased exponentially (up 228%) among American audiences between November 6 – November 21.

Just feels like a really strange thing to me these days especially. There's a ton of awesome stuff that happens to be animated. Star Trek: Lower Decks has been one of the best shows to come out in the last couple years to me. There's a shitload of stuff out there.

To say Arcane is the best videogame adaptation ever is to really undersell it. The plot/characters are solidly in "drat, this is pretty good" territory, but the animation and visuals are god-tier. You could compare this to Miyazaki or Spider-verse, it's that good.

I think the main problem people have with it is if they try and follow the exact same timeline from the books in regards to Perrin getting together with Faile. From what I've read it's like a year and two months from the start of the first book to the end of the third where they get together officially. I don't know how long it would take me to get over the guilt and trauma of killing my own wife, but I think most people feel a year and change isn't realistic. I don't know how I'll feel about double mopey Perrin during the shaido chase arc, where he's feeling extreme guilt and anger over Faile's abduction, and now with the show the ever present guilt of killing his first wife.

This is all assuming of course that they don't make any changes to that storyline which I think is unlikely.

This is part of the reason I think having Perrin be married is just so bizzare. She's a complete non-character, exists for Perrin to kill her to start the whole hammer vs axe plot line and then gets referenced as far as I remember once or twice in passing since.

I hope they don't ditch Faile in general. I know she annoyed the heck out of a lot of readers but I always sort of dug their plot line and enjoyed the way their relationship develops. Though I think I might be in the minority there

I like Faile, she's fun and its not her fault that the Shaido storyline happened just because she was a major character in it.

3rd season was good. Fourth is off to a good start. Feel free to ignore the first two seasons, much like I do with most of TNG.

Wrong. Bain, Chiad, and Gaul come with Faile. They merely tolerate her.

Probably people watching them because of a new tie-in (that Boba Fett thing) or rewatching the old seasons because the new one drops soon.

As far as Perrin's wife in the show, it seems like just a clumsy way to layer his character a bit and give him some easily conveyed motivation to be so wary of violence and reserved/protective towards Faile when they get together.

If she ends up being a darkfriend later on then cool I guess but at the end of the day I don't think it matters much.
