Star Wars: Visions: The Elder (2021)
The old sith lord we've always needed.
The old sith lord we've always needed and we could only get through a japanese lense. Its fiction compells an amazing design and also a classic but pleasing samurai showdown ending. Inspiration from local folklore is obvious but astonishing when expresses through this medium.
Star Wars: Visions: T0-B1 (2021)
Not a retelling as some may say
Although it's heavily inspired by japanese pop-culture figures, it's another of Vision's unique, well... visions about Star Wars universe. Every cybernetic lifeform is imperfect as resourcers are scarce in that universe, but a Jedi genius may as well be capable of something more. I just despise deeply Star Wars fans that will hate any new content because it's different.
Arcane: League of Legends: The Monster You Created (2021)
Foreshadowing or greed? New season, new money
The fountain scene, glorious. The development of Silco and a one of the most nuanced father-daughter relationships. The western-like bar fight; sword vs fists, that's a first. The dichotomy of Vi and Jinx, and that of corruption and rightiousness. The uselessness of vengeance in the face of forgiveness. Wow. Amazing ending, although I wish they weren't greedy enough to leave it that open to another season.
Arcane: League of Legends: Oil and Water (2021)
Smells like teen spirit
While trying to expand world building into known and welcome territories for League fans, it neglects other important matters about argument. Despite this, it pushes new interesting views over imperialism, capitalism and fascism. Curiously enough, shimmer is a thing in real life.
Storytelling got kind of weak but f-cking hell, punk af Vi with gauntlets - I dig it. Also, Jayce with his hammer, finally... although it got dark too fast.

The dreadnought is coming
Way too painful to see Jinx hurt this much. I really want to give her a hug
Scenery is absolutely gorgeous and my gosh the ficition is deeply captivating.
Those action sequences? Damn. They truly gave it all. Raw passion

btw: Chembaron and Zaun's mines plot was introduced too abruptly but it's finally good to see it represented in some way. URGOT IS COMING.
Arcane: League of Legends: Everybody Wants to Be My Enemy (2021)
Exciting as it can be
Absolutely beautiful episode. A House of Cards meets Castlevania one, for what it counts. It makes me wish they made a movie already, but I guess it's not a format they could profit much.
Anyway, the thing is that this episode was f-cking soothing to the senses, a truly cinematographic experience if you excuse me the term.
It pains me to say that League mythos is thriving the most through this series. In its beginning there were many great artists and creators, yet its love was undeserved in the wake of fame and money. Now, it pleases every second and captivates everybody with a unique story in an unseen world.
Arcane: League of Legends: Happy Progress Day! (2021)
Steady development and perfect continuation
Characters are developed enough to introduce new conflicts to be resolved, making it a continuation to behold. The story could've perfectly ended in episode 3 but makes you happy it didn't. While dropping some of the most engaging nuances, it becomes even more exciting by exploiting more impactful themes. Now it drives into mandatory business because of source material, but manages to keep it entertaining as they fill in the blanks. Absolute perfect continuation.
Arcane: League of Legends: The Base Violence Necessary for Change (2021)
Exemplary screenplay
The prime example that you can make incredibly thrilling yet nuanced content out of any premise if you are creative enough to. Obviously I have some differences about how it's developed but it's a truly exemplary screenplay to say the least.
