Riot didn't greenlight production on the second season until the first was out and successful. Honestly, as long as the quality is the same, two years isn't that long and it hopefully means Riot will have learned their lesson and pre-production work is already underway on S3 and beyond. VVV Whoops, yeah I'm bad at math. Three years is still reasonable. 1stGear fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Nov 10, 2023 |

It'll be 3 years in November 2024 since season 1 right? I agree with the point though, 3 years is shorter than I was expecting tbh and I don't really care if they take their time.

Mr Interweb posted:good god, that's so long away Production of serialised shows doesn't work that way. Episodes aren't finished one by one and then just sit on a drive somewhere until the entire season is ready. For animated shows in particular, you want to save the final polish of every episode for the end of production, since otherwise it'd make it very expensive to go back and fix something to account for a change you had to make in another episode.

Yes, you do your final pass last on every episode at the same time, so that any changes made before final pass can be applied to everything. As an example, if you decide very late that a character should have a scar from episode 1 whilst working on episode 8, you want to be able to make that change to every episode between them at the same time. Rather interestingly, often shows are finished in a different order production wise compared to airdate. Off the top of my head Futurama has some of that, as does Invader Zim. 3D Animation is a little less strict than 2D used to be, as it isn't animated frame by frame but with 3D animation tools and such. But still, you often would be working on 3-5 episodes at a time in a seasonal show and the order they are finished is not necessarily the order they release.

Anime does work on an episode to episode week to week production but anime production is famously hellish (with a lot of recent shows falling through because they literally couldn't finish episodes in time and fell behind), so it's not necessarily easier.

Before that, if a show had an overarching plot at all rather than just being self-contained episodes that never disrupted the status quo, it was more likely to be kept simple enough that you just needed to hit one or two plot beats in an episode and otherwise didn't have to worry about the details, or the writers were straight up just making it up as they went along. It's absolutely possible to make a show that way, but you're not going to get a show with Arcane's quality of story-telling out of it.

Its funny that Season 1 pretty much upended every piece of lore about Piltover/Zaun and the associated champs, but Warwick's original backstory still slots in pretty well (assuming the "Vander is Warwick" theory is true).

Doesn't Warwick have some lines with Vi and Jinx that could arguably be read to imply he raised them? I mean, I don't think they planned it that far in advance, it's just kind of a neat coincidence.

Dawgstar posted:Doesn't Warwick have some lines with Vi and Jinx that could arguably be read to imply he raised them? I mean, I don't think they planned it that far in advance, it's just kind of a neat coincidence. Yup, he has several special interactions with Jinx and Vi. Mainly saying that he wants to forget or "you were there". There's also a line where he asks Vi "who taught you how to punch". Note most every other zaun/piltover champ gets threats and the like except for those two. So while they don't flat out say it in his lines, it implies he knows them and has some painful history with them. These were also added while Arcane was in production even though it was well before the show actually came out. That and some other hints and easter eggs makes me think it's extremely unlikely that Vander is not WW.

I just watched this show for the fourth time. jeez. So good. Episode, I wanna say, 8 was my least favorite because it has the big 'introduce hammer warrior and gauntlets girl" fight scene and my biggest fear with this show is it will just become a way to show how grounded characters became the exaggerated champions from the game. But I also like how they defuse that moment by having the music pumping, Jayce feeling super competent with his hammer lasers, and then suddenly he accidentally shoots a kid and the music cuts out and it all comes back to earth. It almost makes you feel bad for cheering on the cool fight scene prior. Also both this show and Andor do a good job of showing political machinations in a way that is not boring. I don't think anybody expected a composer with no writing credits under his belt to be able to match up to someone like Tony Gilroy in terms of writing. Though I understand they had other people with more experience helping them out. Anyway psyched for the next season, maybe I'll watch it a fifth time right before that comes out. Makes me sad that even with all of Disney's money and artistry, they couldn't make their "watercolor" style in Wish look half as good as the painterly style of Arcane.

I think it's also just as meaningful a moment when you have Jayce squaring up with Vi over her refusing to give up the gauntlets immediately after, and the whole scene just reeks of the most childish kind of fanservice where it's going to treat them both like action figures to be smashed against each other in the same way that people fantasize about what it would be like if Darth Vader fought Darth Maul... and then just unceremoniously deflates in the perfect way to convey Jayce's mental state in that moment.

https://x.com/catsuka/status/1798826389208285416 i dont think you are gonna survive this season two guys on the left --- also I rewatched S1 and the latter part of Jace arc is kinda rear end; his action scene with Vi, while cool, is mostly a rare blatant fanservice just to have him swing the hammer like in the game. Vi just stealing the gauntlets and going straight for round 2 with Sevika would have made more sense than joining a swat team at that point in her life. Still, almost perfect show. fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jun 6, 2024 |

It was probably one of the more clunky bits in the first season, like he feels like he just spawned in explicitly to get killed by an errant shot since he's standing on a gantry in full view while a massive battle has been going on for a minute or so at that point. I did enjoy the resulting "ordinarily I'd have your boy killed for this but I suppose we're ahead on that front" line. Are people expecting a massive timeskip between S1 and this with some of these promo shots? The idea hadn't even really crossed my mind tbh because to me, that ending scene kinda needs at least a little bit of resolution post missile going through the window. However one of my friends is apparently the opposite, he's like "no that all felt resolved and cleaned up, I reckon it's gonna start a few years later so they can get jump right into (speculation based spoilers for what the season might be about) Warwick showing up" which is baffling to me. I could see them doing a timeskip after like, episode 2 or 3 in a similar fashion to season 1, so they can settle everything, show characters to establish their post season 1 status quo that can then get mixed up, have Caitlyn be upset about her mum dying or nearly dying depending on what happened there, that kinda thing. Then mix it up once they've done that. I think doing massive timeskips between seasons, skipping potentially pretty big stuff and having to retroactively have conversations about all the stuff that's happened between seasons is one of my least favourite things a tv show can do so I suppose I'm just concerned.

The whole thing was a bad idea, they knew kids were in the building but Jayce rolled in half-cocked and not thinking of the potential consequences and got a wake-up call for it.
