Netflix’s ARCANE Season 2, Act III Review

​Netflix’s ARCANE season 2, Act III is a masterpiece. A visually stunning and innovative animation. I knew I was watching something special 5 minutes into the first episode. Arcane tells the origin story of two sisters, Jinx – also known as Powder (played by Ella Purnell) and Vi (played by Hailee Steinfeld). They find themselves on rival sides of a brewing war between the utopian city Piltover and its oppressed underbelly, Zaun. Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of the explosive events of Season 1 after Jinx launches a stolen Hextech gemstone at the Piltover council. I was intrigued by the storytelling which explored the humane journey of these characters’ emotions - love, friendship, family, trauma and death.

“ARCANE is based on the popular multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends, developed and released by Riot Games in 2009. The animated series was constructed by co-creators Linke and Alex Yee and was produced by the French animation studio Fortiche Production in partnership with Riot Games.”
