the Netflix show Arcane is really amazing and I can’t recommend it enough. reminds me of Howls Moving Castle a lot, which is one of my favorites, but honesty I really think it is better. Dazzling artwork and animation, great voice acting, and a haunting spellbinding story. Easily one of the best things I’ve seen in years. I’m pretty blown away. and I know nothing at all about league of legends, it totally stands on its own. I hope they make more.

I’m very suspicious of anything even tangentially related to league of legends

Kenny Logins posted:whats ur take on cowboy bebop liveaction I haven’t watched many, but so far it’s not good. my best explanation is that it feels like an off-Broadway play of the original show. uninspired, visually pretty dull, uneven and sometimes just straight bad acting, but most importantly it doesn’t add anything to the original series, it’s just a faithful retelling of it. I’m sure I’ll watch more but I’m not excited about it (not that I ever was or was expecting much more). I’m not sure if someone unfamiliar with the original would like it or even understand it at all. I see why everyone is badmouthing it. Arcane conversely is legitimately a creative masterpiece. it’s phenomenal. I was shocked too since it’s a video game thing.

the Imagine Dragons theme song and soundtrack is a bit angsty teenager cringe but I’ll forgive it. I’ve never played league and know nothing about the game. it’s TF2 right? or is it like DotA?

lol I know, i don’t know what’s up with their relationship to the show but they do a lot of the soundtrack. they have a weird cameo in one episode. as I said it’s the show’s only sin and I can forgive them for it. there’s also an orchestral score that’s very well done that is more classical as well as a few other punctuated styles but the music really does end up adding to the environment and is not a detriment within the episodes, but yes 100% skip the intro every single time because you will feel like a teenage girl otherwise.

Kenny Logins posted:i wouldn't say visually dull but otherwise agreed. we're 2 eps deep and it's aggressively just OK. but then again i liked the stilt and artifice of the speedracer movie. Yeah this is kinda my take on it. i get why you would hate it, but also i'm ok with just fuckin around with whatever. i like the 3 main actors (faye text me plz) and it's not the same show but it's still a pretty okay show

mystes posted:I feel insane saying this, but based on the first episode or two of wot maybe actually worse? Like it doesn't look better or feel like more of a prestige drama, and it's just more boring? Less teen drama but it's like if you took the teen drama out of shannara so it was literally just a husk with nothing left. man that’s dire

The Fool posted:at least with magicians you got the occasional finger dexterity show the finger tutting was pretty cool tbh made me wish the source material was better. i always liked the idea of magic as an academic discipline that was more akin to math or science than the "yer a wizard now 'arry" garbage but goddamn the whole lion, the witch, and the wardrobe bits about fillory were just so bad and pointless

Jonny watch the drat show, even just the first episode. You won't regret it Look at that shot. That is a random establishing shot from a random episode i clicked on with zero main characters in it in a location that is visited just this once in the entire series and LOOK AT HOW DETAILED IT IS. every single shot is like that. the amount of work that went into this series is insane and honestly it's sort of funny that the fact that it has the "league of legends" name attached to it seems to be a significant drag, since it is a cinematic masterpiece just on its own. they should have just called it "arcane" and never once mentioned league
