Who had the best slow name reveal?
Maybe I'm slow because I never watched the show with subtitles on, but one thing I thought was cool as part of the "show don't tell" approach to Arcane's writing was that you don't have the horribly stereotypical introduction of characters like the start of a meeting or presentation. Characters show up and get introduced organically and it seems to play out much more realistic.
I'm just going off of memory here so please forgive me:
- Vi - we don't get her full name until S1E3
- Silco - we don't get his name until S1E3
- Mel - she's only referred to as Counselor Medarda for several episodes, then we finally see Mel towards the end of S1
- Sevika - I don't think we actually hear Sevika's name until S1E5
- Singed - I don't think anyone actually calls him Singed out loud, and we only get his true name in S2E5
- Cassandra Kiramman - again, I think we only get her last name and never get her first name spoken until S2E1
- Loris - we only get his name in S2E8
- Ambessa - I don't think we get her first name spoken until S2
- Isha - we don't get her name spoken out loud until S2E4.
