    Prolly aging myself but I'm pretty sure Jinx was more supposed to be LoL's copy of Tank Girl than Harley Quinn. Jinx's been around for about 8-10 years now but I doubt anyone who plays LoL would remember the Tank Girl comics or even the movie. Least of all the vast majority of the Chinese and...

    I wasn't that impressed with the animation on Castlevania enough to stick with it for more than a season. But even without Arcane's final act I'm ok with talking about it as the best animated anything I've ever seen on Netflix. The script is spare and disciplined enough to sneak in that one...

    Yeah easily one of the best animated anythings I've ever seen. Best thing on Netflix now for sure. Only bad thing is that they didn't manage to release their MMO or even their ARPG in time for the show.... I really want to play in the show's world somehow and LoL ain't cutting it.

    Yeah I'm thinking if they do another season it would see delegations from Demacia show up in Piltover to demand restrictions on Hextech while Noxus sends a rival delegation demanding Piltover share it with the poors of the world. By the "present time" in LoL/Runeterra Hextech is everywhere...

    They've been making cinematics and films using this "painterly" shader look to maintain a consistent design language across the whole LoL brand. The thing is, the shaders used in the Arcane series isn't even the most impressive. In the show each frame looks like a hand-painted piece of concept...

    Wouldn't be surprising in a korean store since the real K-Pop idols they hired for the fake LoL band are very popular kpop idols irl. Aside from Imagine Dragons and JID, they don't use too many big names from the west. On that note, Riot made a music video out of the intro song from Arcane and...

    Riven would be ideal for a POV character in any kind of introductory episodes into the Noxus/Ionia conflict except that they've been rehabilitating Noxus' evil empire image in Runeterra and other videos. Instead of the evil slave empire, they've done a 180 and Noxus is now a Fantasy America...

    No, what's crazy is that time they decided to make Sailor Moon themed skins and proceeded to put every anime studio on the planet to shame...

    They've been doing original music on a whole other level since that first Jinx video. They once decided to sell kpop themed skins around the time BTS got huge in the west and they created a fake kpop band with LoL champions. To promote the skins they made a fake kpop video that saw like half a...

    Pretty sure the guy in the owl mask that hoverboards onto the airship in the trailer is grown-up Ekko. He's also one of the carved statues in the intro. Actually, there's a part in the intro where someone who was wearing leg-braces like a polio patient loses them, presumably to be...

    All I know is they better make that yordle hooker a playable champion.

    We'll start finding out on Saturday. Time jump right into E4 it looks like: But yeah, she's basically a female Joker with itty bitty titties and a chaingun.

    Tyler1 was spotted at the Arcane premiere in Hollywood, actually. He's still toxic as hell but Riot knows which side their bread is buttered on. At least he was wearing some part of a tux with his usual guido gymrat wifebeater look.

    I get what you're saying, but last year's Emmy winner for Animation was Tartakovsky's Primal (South Park and Bob's Burgers have been previous nominees). They can't say that the award should be restricted to hand-drawn animation or for broadcast-only shows either, since Star Wars Rebels has won...

    It's doing well, debuting at #9 on US Netflix for its release weekend and #1 for 38 other territories (US Netflix is cancer). https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2021/11/08/arcane-enters-netflixs-top-10-list-with-its-unusual-episode-formatting/?sh=1de23f2b7687 But Netflix will almost...

    They aren't coming out of left field, they've been doing this for years. They're famous for that custom shader they use to produce that painterly effect; it's a combination of machine learning and hand-painted textures over 3D: They've been creating cinematics with Riot since long before...
