Heimerdinger deserved to be kicked out. He led both the Upper City _AND_ the Lower City for centuries while poverty and disparity festered. What Jayce said was absolutely right. Heimer needed a wake-up call to get in touch with his city. Badly.

Yeah, I definitely agree with this in hindsight. At the time of watching I think I was too preoccupied with the warnings he kept doling regarding the use of magic to see much else

I’m of this opinion, too. The class disparity gets wider and wider over 200 years and multiple generations, but what’s one of the few constant factors? Heimerdinger. Real world politics already suffers from the lack of an age limit during elections, and Heimerdinger is a good fictional example of this. His heart is in the right place, but his policies unfortunately don’t affect meaningful change. It seems like not many people are of the opinion that Heimerdinger needed to go, though. In relation to other councilors, I get it. They’re all more corrupt than he is, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t also a big problem and that he isn’t enabling them by turning a blind eye to their activities. In the opera scene, all the councilors and merchants are talking while he just closes his eyes and listens to the opera. It’s been two centuries. He knows what’s going on. He just doesn’t care enough, despite what he says. If he cared, he’d have leveraged his position to stamp out the corruption sooner. Too little, too late. He is the epitome of “thoughts and prayers.” Sorry, I’ve got a grudge against the fuzzy little guy.

God, the scene with Jinx lighting the flare is one of the best. The music is perfect and with Claggor and Mylo behind her back. Just *chefs kiss*

The gameplay of League of Legends has no story at all. It's just a round-based 5vs5 battle. But there was some lore created around the champions you can play and the world where they are from, way before Arcane - though sometimes not really consistent - but Arcane follow that lore at least broadly. But again, the lore is not relevant at all for the gameplay. You can play the game without any idea about the lore - like chess, you just need to know how your figures/champions work. One could write a whole backstory about the kingdom of the King an Queen figures in chess. But knowing that story wouldn't make you a better chess-player... 😅

I beef with Heimerdinger because he talks all this positivity but has presided over the subjugation of the undercity for generations. His calls for reason and moderation sound great but his history of leadership is suspect. It's all complex but Jace isn't all wrong in his condemnation of Heimerdinger

@@shadowcatreacts the violence of the oppressor seldom looks like violence. being forced to live in an area with air so bad that topsiders wear masks when they come down is violence. There isn't enough food to go around in the undercity while the topsiders never lack for food or supplies. Now Jace isn't right in that argument either... he's upset that enforcers are no scared to go down there to keep "those people" under control. So not exactly a great argument from him ... but still he sees that the situation is largely his fault.

@@Simyonovich they almost all pick up on it in the first episode ... and then instantly forget it when the resistance to subjugation doesn't look the way they want it too. Also Silco gets drunk with power and suddenly topside is no longer a villain in their mind despite most adamantly hating top side for 2 full episodes.

Not sure if you caught on that it was the doctor who created Shimmer from the earlier episodes that Viktor encounters as the boy in the flashback. Mel and Jayce's relationship does seem fast but it's more solid for Jayce than Mel as we see by her body language when he plops his head in her lap. But she might be warming up to him more. Good eye on recognizing Huck from his only scene in episode 1. I don't think I've seen a reactor ever catch that that early. I think the house they were holed up in was where Vi and Powder's family lived. What a baller move on Silcos part visiting Marcus's home and playin with Ren. Tears are so appropriate for the flare scene. I think I cry every time I see it, especially when you see the haunted figures of Mylo and Claggor as the camera moves around her. I liked your lead up to the reunion thinking it wasn't going to happen. Boy what a reunion it was!!! Great reaciton,Cat!

League dues have a story... XD so good and so deep that people had good ideas of how this season would end.. lol In game characters even have unique lines if you emote by other champions that relate to them. (Like Vi and Jinx) I'm sure I'm not the first to say XD I know things about characters we meet in this show that the show hasn't even shown. Cool to see how Singed got his burns (epi 3) _________'s origin is crazy knowing how he is in game... I'm also itching to cross the waters... XD you can check character bios online... but it may spoil cannon to come!
