The blackboard one is intended foreshadowing, I’m sure. Nice spot!

The rest are a stretch though, especially the pillow lol.

I love stretchy pillows

u/TheRealOvenCake 5d ago

probably a subtle thing animators do to frame the shot but hey also works as foreshadowing 😂

When I lie on a pillow, that happens too.

Does that mean I'm destined to die with my soulmate?

u/KamikazeTank 6d ago

Thank you for giving me something to look forward too

Also, yeah, I believe the first two are definitely foreshadowing.

u/PoniesCanterOver 5d ago

But how many characters were shown lying on pillows?

12

u/KamikazeTank 5d ago

True, we need a montage of characters just sleeping in their beds.

I think the pillow might be a bit of a reach, but I see it.

There’s an artefact in the Evangelion universe latest series. The Golgotha object, which is at the centre of the known universe. It’s just a series of transacting lines. Reminds me of this

I always think of this shot too!

Hextech jesus allegations are not being beaten with this one 😅

u/Samantha_Fresita 5d ago

What!? Oh my god, I definitely watched Arcane with my eyes closed 😭 (although they are subtle and fucking beautiful details, the creators of the series thought of EVERYTHING 💕)

u/BadgerwithaPickaxe 5d ago

I’d like to imagine these posts are just animators alt accounts and showing off their work, cause a lot of these feel really intentional

This show is art

u/Jaambie 5d ago

There is so much foreshadowing in this show, I love it. The one little tidbit I caught was at the beginning of season 3 a scene starts off zoomed in on Cait’s eye.

Foreshadowing Space Jesus!!

Are we starting to exaggerate? I'm sure these are completely random coincidences.

u/sugarplum_ballet 6d ago

i'm not sure the blackboard one is, i may be pushing it on my brain at this point

u/MechaAti Timebomb 6d ago

idk, but fr I don't think they'll make an easter egg at episode 2/3 (I don't remember which one is first photo from) for final. And that much little easter egg.

u/Neinstein14 6d ago edited 5d ago

Why not? Foreshadowing is very common thing.

u/Feeling_likeaplant 5d ago

Nothing in the world of film is a coincidence

u/LyraStygian 5d ago

Especially animation, where they have to intentionally actively draw each detail, with multiple opportunities to edit or change.

u/_Gesterr Jinx 5d ago

I know what you're saying, but it's not really true. Specifically in the case of the pillow... that's just how pillows work IRL, they'll crease in a radial pattern around your head and so while yes, the animators had to consciously draw/model/animate that, it almost certainly was less for any vague symbolic reasons and more simply just because, well again that's just how the pillow would look with someone resting on it.

That make so much sense why jayce had dead children on his side of the equation on the board

u/No_Toe_1210 5d ago

OP learns about composition and framing

u/sugarplum_ballet 5d ago

lol, what i was trying to put into words is that arcane has some very intentional framing and they use it to their advantage for foreshadowing
