A critique of League of Legend’s Arcane series. Stereotypical smalltube video essayist offering overly long Part 2 of 5 (probably), focusing on narrative and thematic inconsistencies that arise as Arcane has to contrive the former into a deviation of the latter.
I have defeated the DCMA Old Gods. But at what cost? Almost two months, that's the cost. The next one will also take a long time because I'm on a journey of self-discovery on how age impacts my ability to remember short-cuts. Also, it's time to clean my room. Again. Because Evelynn sits on a vacuumed couch for two minutes and it needs to be deep washed again to get the fur out. Learning how to streamline all this is the goal.
Music by Bensound, Girli, Cats, Britney Spears, Cyberpunk, and, naturally, League of Legends. Epic versions of "The Bridge" and "Enemy" were made by Samuel Kim.
Featuring cats. Again. All three of them. Very occasionally. Mostly playing the roll of obnoxious hijinks that I decided to keep in the video because 57 minutes felt too short.
Time stamps for posterity. (I've avoided the Mal smack-stick this time, or have I?):
