Arcane | Class, Capitalism and Cross-Branding Cartoons
Cartoon Revolution
02/03/22 • 63 min
“Arcane” represents a new wave of animated content borne from the intersection of video games, music, and television/cartoons. The big budget show was creatively and massively marketed through many different mediums out of a desire to flesh out and deepen the lore and characters of the popular game, League of Legends. The show is not just a pretty advertisement, however, and does offer deep insights into class, capitalism, and the unequal impacts of technology and drugs in a divided world. Arcane is all about dualities, which we can break down to understand human nature.
