Surprising Realism in Arcane (League of Legends), And Some Nitpicks...

I've been watching Netflix's Arcane: League of Legends, and it's amazing! Even better than I was hoping. The writing, visual quality, and voice acting are even better than I expected. The fight scenes are both badass and brutally realistic.

It's a convincing, immersive world overall, although of course there are some oddities (possibly mistakes). So let's delve into it and take a look at some of the things that stood out to me. Over-thinking mode engaged. :)
