EASTER EGGS
LEAVING EASTER EGGS HAS BECOME A pop-culture tradition, and Arcane does not ever forget that the original impetus behind the series' creation was giving back to gamers. The Easter eggs that are included provide fan service without being distracting to newcomers, and they can also allow for quick nods to the creatives. "We definitely had a rule going in that the Easter egg can't be the point of the scene: It can only be support material. And it has to not be something that's going to create that question-mark moment for someone who's not going to get it," Alex Yee said. "I feel we were rea-sonably strict on that point because that kind of head-scratching moment is not worth it." But of course, those who know, know. "If you read the comic that went out when Ekko the champion was released, there's another character that was in there that was in the cinematic that you recognize," Linke said. "Benzo was holding something when Ekko comes in, and he is holding an item that only real nerds would know: the Heart of Gold. It hasn't been in the game for ten years or so. Those who recognize that one will be very giddy because obviously it's something that very few people still know." Easter eggs can also be partly used to ground a scene within the League of Legends lore, as in the scene where Mel is painting on her balcony in Episode 106. "The graphic style of her work and what she's painting, for those in the know, refer to visuals of Noxus that exist," said Hervé Dupont, managing director at Fortiche.
Of course, nothing gets past fans. "In Season 1 we wanted to tease that Singed had a daughter so he's opening a little clock and there's a picture of a girl," Baudry said. "It was just to tease, but the fans saw it and we actually did it in Season 2. In the game there is a character called Orianna, who is supposed to be a little girl from Piltover who had a disease and whose limbs were replaced bit by bit until she became a robot. The last piece was supposed to be a heart, which her father gives her. When she wakes up as a robot, she doesn't understand who she is and her father is dead. We did something a bit different: In Season 2, we see that all Singed was doing was to find a serum and save his daughter. So at the end of a corridor with all the horrible stuff that he's done, there is a little room looking like Piltover-we kind of understood in Season 1 that he was from Piltover and used to work with Heimerdinger, he's probably one hundred years old or something, and was able to prolong his life. Ambessa asks what Orianna has and his answer is some-thing like, 'I'm trying to find a cure to some-thing that affects us all-death." Sometimes, though, eagle-eyed fans assign intent where there is none. "Some of them find things we didn't put in-they think we're a lot more cunning than we actually are, as if we were Keyser Söze," Fortiche character and props design supervisor Matthieu Gouget de Landres said, laughing. Echoing Linke and Yee, he stressed that as fun as Easter eggs are, they must never be distracting or make segments of the audience feel excluded. "As soon as we can include a little detail, we do it, but it never gets in the way of the storytelling," Gouget de Landres said. "With some adaptations, entire scenes sometimes don't make sense if you don't know the source material."

That's all for today! I'm working on another 3 diff pages that were requested and they will be out in the next few days. A little sneak peak of one of them, it's not much since this is the only description on this particular page, but the cars and hot air balloons are pretty neat.
