Having seen countless movies and shows over the past decade, Arcane stands out as one of the best. It's emotionally powerful, that's got tears out of my eyes.
The animation is breathtaking. Each frame is a work of art, with incredibly lifelike characters and stunningly detailed environments. The lighting and sound design are equally impressive, creating a truly captivating world. The lore is rich and well-developed, with no plot holes to disrupt the story. The narrative itself is fresh and engaging, far from generic.
This episode focuses on Ekko and Power's characters.
Unlike others where there were only glimpses of Powder, this ep fully shown the true person of Powder without all the persona of Jinx. It reinforces the idea that Jinx is a product of her environment and the choices made by others, and it offers a glimmer of hope that redemption may still be possible.
The pacing is deliberately slower than the previous, fast-paced episodes, it allows for deeper character development and emotional resonance. The dance scene, captured in a series of distinct, memorable frames. It's as if Ekko is trying to imprint the moment in his memory.
While the pace in Ekko's scenes is slow down, it is sliced with Jayce's eerie scenes. The audience is able to feel the joy and hope in Ekko's world, only to be immediately confronted with the despair and desolation in Jayce's. This rapid shift in emotions heightens the dramatic tension and keeps the viewer engaged.
While it is a great show, i can see 1 star ratings from the same person that are, NOT REAL RATINGs, full of envy and obviously made by hardcore fans of other shows and movies, HATING ON THE HAIR while it is true to the lore, the fact that they compared (the number of ratings of) a show with a completely different genre like BB, THAT IS been out for years to one that's barely finished is ridiculous.
And i almost forgot, thank you to everyone that had their hands in the making of this masterpiece.
