[dapper bobcat]

||mostly I think this is real, but 1 percent of me believes it could be damage control||

[white smelt]

It is I’m just messing

[main lion]

let the 1 percent go, man

[dapper bobcat]

||No, 0.01 percent cuz I want to be reasonable||

[white smelt]

I wish the billion dollar company that valve is would put some money into a proper animation show like arcane but for dota

Would be sick but alas

[main lion]

Arcane s2 end ||please understand that this is the vision they had for the series and any dissatisfaction you may have with it can be more productively expressed through criticizing the actual show and not coming up with fake excuses to justify your feelings||

[main lion]

is dota's world/lore even interesting? All the characters look stupid so I just assumed they dont care about making cool things

[white smelt]

What are you even on about

[main lion]

there is no world where I'm excited to follow these characters

[white smelt]

Juggernaut is cool

[last perch]

Valve has less budget , so it is normal they won't be able to produce a show as good as arcane.

[bold yew]

So this is not a meme to mock arcane and it actually exists ?

[main lion]

ye Im saying even if they had the money for it

[white smelt]

You’re acting like the arcane characters looked cool in league

Prior to any updates

[last perch]

League as a game is better, but the community is the worst.

[main lion]

most do look cool in league. And the ones that look a bit off, still have good lore

jinx looks kinda dumb in league tho

but the rest look good

[last perch]

Have you seen singed in game?

[main lion]

singed is cool

[last perch]

Dude speak like a rat

iirc

[main lion]

other cool characters

kindred

[last perch]

Garen >>>

[main lion]

garen is just a white guy

[last perch]

Aha, racism I see.

[main lion]

I'm white

[last perch]

I mean, it is not about appearance

He is op

[main lion]

we were talking about cool character designs though

garen is as generic as they come

probably the most generic league character

[last perch]

Cool character design: ekko

[main lion]

true

https://tenor.com/view/cassfindthispsps-urgot-gif-11343844872567639674

and urgot

[last perch]

Old urgot was ass

New one is better

[main lion]

indeed

[white smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/rizzler-the-rizzler-christian-turn-rizzler-turn-gif-3468410536510015644

[main lion]

but ye I played dota 2 for a bit, looked up all the characters, and didn't find a single design I liked

lol

[white smelt]

This was my boy

[primal mason]

any cute anime girls in league?

[main lion]

oh theres one youd love

[white smelt]

Yeah he looks dumb lol

[main lion]

[main lion]

he looks cool wtf lol

[primal mason]

[main lion]

🐐

🐐

[bold yew]

You just like one shot champs

[white smelt]

Bro posting the splash art cause the models look like shit

[main lion]

I dont play viktor but I do play khazix and kindred

lol

and urgot

[white smelt]

Meanwhile you posted dota 2 models…

[main lion]

I mean yeah I posted the dota 2 art too

its a moba

ofc the models dont look amazing

[white smelt]

That poster is the dota 2 models

[main lion]

do they have individual splash art?

Arcane s2 act 2

cool new skin model btw

[white smelt]

It’s been awhile but I think so? I kinda just remember the aegis as the loading screen

If they did splash art it was as I stopped playing or during events

[main lion]

these characters so ass looking

[primal mason]

i agree

[main lion]

this ones alright

[bold yew]

Kinder I respect

[main lion]

my characters I play are

urgot, kindred, gnar, khazix, sejuani, jayce, mordekaiser, vi

and thats mostly it

oh and gnar sometimes

mostly just top lane and jg

@white smelt ye there are like a few that look ok. I just dont like dota's art style overall though. Most kinda fit this vibe

[bold yew]

Same , but top ain’t been fun lately

Ig design wise I’d say I like Pyke too

[main lion]

thresh

[bold yew]

Thresh I like too, had great skins as well

[main lion]

fiddlesticks rework looks great too

[abstract isle]

Arcane and Penguin were so good

I wonder if they'll do a show about Ionia and Noxus

[main lion]

hopefully they do anything else (bilgewater pls)

[abstract isle]

Oh that has a lot of potential with how it has mafias, pirates, and sea monsters

Plus you have Twisted Fates and Graves being a couple.

[primal mason]

I'm getting to that point where I'm running out of free movies I'm interested in streaming, so I'm gonna sub to netflix soon using the $30 gift card I got last year and sub for two months.

I'm gonna watch a lot of exclusive movies and series there. Any recs?

[abstract isle]

Arcane

[main lion]

just watch arcane

it ended

today

[primal mason]

[main lion]

its highly regarded for a reason

don't be cringe

[primal mason]

[main lion]

?

[primal mason]

ok sure, down the line

[main lion]

just watch it first smh

[primal mason]

i got netflix anime i gotta finish for my bingo 2024.

[main lion]

smh my head

[primal mason]

Happy to shake your head red

[mint kiln]

Season 2 of arcane is over now right?

how many episodes?

[last perch]

It is over

[last perch]

9

Watch it.

[mint kiln]

Cool

[limber harbor]

I’m so unbelievably tilted

[bold yew]

IIRC queens gambit is Netflix exclusive? Was pretty good series

[main lion]

like the towers...

[last perch]

Gotta rewatch that, I haven't finished it lol

[primal mason]

that has the girl who played peach in the mario movie iirc

[limber harbor]

Arcane S2 Finale ||Jinx didn’t need to fucking die, she really can’t have shit can she. Of all people that could’ve at least got an happy ending why not her, take Vi or Caitlyn. For fucks sake.||

[primal mason]

it's on my list yep

[limber harbor]

[bold yew]

Among other (bigger ) roles , but yea

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||apparently shes alive.Cait is looking at blueprints of the tower, and notices an air duct in the area jinx "blew herself up". then a couple shots later is an airship flying away from zaun and a jinx font "the end". The same airship type that jinx, in ep 1 of season 1, said "im gonna fly one of those one day." So she managed to "walk away from everything" like she wanted to.||

arcane s2 end ||its the blueprints cait is looking at right before vi starts humming their mom's/powder's song. And then after the humming scene, is the airship||

[limber harbor]

Hmmm

[peak pilot]

What’s yall final ratings for the series. Just a score

[limber harbor]

Idk how to feel about that

[main lion]

I gave season 1 a 9.5. I think s2 I'd put around a similar range. Maybe marginally lower, but still in the 9s

[limber harbor]

But I’ll take it

[mint kiln]

Currently watching

Episode 2

[limber harbor]

Season 1 9 season 2 an 8

[bold yew]

4/10 cause I’m salted it ended and wanted more

[limber harbor]

I didn’t have to wait 3 years since I started watching last week

[main lion]

Arcane s2 end @limber harbor

[shrewd sigil]

arcane s2 end ||if the next series has jinx randomly chilling in the background then this ending is automatically back to a 10 ☝️||

[last perch]

Arcane s2 ending || it was important for Netflix propaganda||

[limber harbor]

Arcane entire series spoilers || season two especially the earlier episodes just feel generally weaker than anything in Season 1, and I think Silco honestly is a way better villain than Ambessa, and also I really feel like Mel’s magical thing should’ve been foreshadowed more and is slightly out of left field. Jayce and Ekko in Season 2 are perfect 10/10. I still don’t think Isha needed to die, enough suffering for one girl honestly.||

Ton of rambling

[main lion]

Arcane s2 end @limber harbor

[abstract isle]

Arcane s2 end ||She was on the airship||

[shrewd sigil]

yeah i know

[abstract isle]

Ah

[limber harbor]

Ok this does make it a little better for me arcane s2 finale ||if this is the happy ending she wanted then I’ll take it, it’s sad that she left Vi and presumably Vi thinks she’s dead. ||

Arcane season 2 episode 7 ||is by far the best episode in the series||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||mel's magic was foreshadowed. Her gold necklace thing flashed right before the explosion at the end of season 1. Most people predicted that mel somehow saved herself/people around her. This ended up being true, and revealed to be a result of her magic. ||

Arcane s2 end @limber harbor

||end of ep 9 season 1 right before the bomb hits||

Arcane s2 end ||Isha dying was good. It pushed further Jinx's despair/trend about causing her loved ones to die. It also showed Isha die protecting people the same way Jinx in s1 ep 3 failed to protect people. In the same manner too, by overloading a contraption with too many hextech gems. Jinx in s1 ep 3 failed to protect anyone. Isha sacrificed herself, but managed to protect everyone. And Jinx in s2 episode 9 managed to save both herself and Vi. I think its a cool progression there. ||

arcane s2 end ||helped Jinx's arc come to a good conclusion||

[bold yew]

Arcane s2 end || was little curious about how they could use this girl in the story and for the characters , i thought it would make jinx be like silko a parental figure for her and maybe help her find herself ? But I think what they did was so much better making her saving them ||

[vast root]

wdym bro this is peak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fqD4H9x9DQ

[limber harbor]

Arcane s2 finale ||ahh so I guess this is also with what fSilco said in the prison about the cycle ending when you walk away.||

I still don’t really know how to feel

[mint kiln]

feels so wrong not being able to click these

[limber harbor]

Arcane s2 end ||my issue with this is Jinx doesn’t need any further despair, she’s killed or lost so many people, she’s killed and hurt so many people. Isha felt like her second chance and if she’s really still alive she still got that second chance, just without Isha. It’s why I just can’t like it, because I feel at most that at its core it’s unnesccary||

[bold yew]

There’s a solution to that

[mint kiln]

yeah man im already watching it

[limber harbor]

Watch it faster

[mint kiln]

need to grind ffxiv unfortunately

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || after they spent good 5 minutes on animating their lesbian sex? yeah, they aren't breaking the lesbian duo ||

[limber harbor]

Arcane S2 Finale ||kill them both then, they can be together in hell. ||

[spiral relic]

Kino.

[main lion]

Arcane s2 end ||Isha feeling like her second chance is exactly why her being ripped away from her is so good. I feel like theres a lot of issues people have with tragedy for no reason. Vi being the one she managed to finally save is perfect||

Arcane s2 end ||calling it unecessary when isha's death is inherently a huge parallel to s1 ep 3, and also gave jinx the idea for the finale, is a bit disrespectful to Isha on the whole lol||

[spiral relic]

I actually don't get why people are saying all of these

Arcane S2 Finale || Vander didn't get affected and got brought back for final fight, jinx recovered from her mental breakdown and got back to final fight, everyone was present in the end, any mention of character development feels nebulous with the knowledge it all ends in season 2, I also don't get what "walking away" is supposed to be because I feel like even without isha dying jinx would have done the same in finale ||

[scenic terrace]

Arcane s2 ep 2 ||When Viktor becomes Jesus Christ||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2E7 ||Damn, this is gonna be very emotional, isn't it?||

[sand cypress]

final arcane eps dropped still need to watch

[scenic terrace]

Arcane s2 ep 3 ||Me trying to figure out how the shield guy will be important... Also it was pretty obvious Ambessa was behind the memorial attack. Very excited for the black rose developments, time for ep 4 ||

[pliant mason]

just started watching cobra kai

[scenic terrace]

Arcane s2 ep 4 ||Not the powder 😭 😭 ||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2E8 ||Holy shit, we actually got another sex scene and it was with the main couple, I actually didn't expect that ||

There's so much to talk about it but I need to finish this

[last perch]

Is this worth it? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2531336/

[peak pilot]

Last episode

[sinful vessel]

Arcane S2 ep 7 ||Cool episode, but my favorite part is the very end where it shows that Powder still has the crystals, so they did all the work for no damn reason ||

[peak pilot]

[final cedar]

Incredible act 3 of season 2 of Arcane, loved every bit of it. The series finale was fantastic from the ||amazing action scenes and animation to where the characters ended up at the end. Since we didn't see a body I feel like Jinx somehow made it alive, at least I choose to believe that. Vi and Cait ended up together as expected. Where are Jayce and Viktor though?? I guess both disappeared. Mel was awesome in the finale with her Incredible powers. ||

So, loved the final act and love this series. I hope we do get a good spinoff show but it is gonna be very difficult to live up to Arcane.

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || People are speclating Jayce and viktor are dead but the way they "died" leaves a lot of wiggle room, I think there are somewhere else, we have seen arcane casually disappearing people to another world and time so it isn't far fetched imo ||

Still salty there won't be season 3

I need ANSWERS

[final cedar]

I agree.. ||Jinx death wasn't definitive as we didn't see a body. As for Jayce no one knows ||

[dapper bobcat]

Arcane ||To quote Batman Arkham Reddit, is she stupid?||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || There is way more hint to Jinx being alive, cait looking at structure, jinx effect at end, no body, jinx and vander surviving the explosion (come on they survived far worse, vander did at least, and there is no random big werewolf running around maiming people like the beast it is supposed to be rn) and more. ||

[dapper bobcat]

||But it’s open enough to make it plausible that Jinx died. Depends on who you ask||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || I would love to see them explain why cait is randomly looking at tower structure and why the creators put that in there ||

[dapper bobcat]

||I don’t know. Ask Red. He seems to be a staunch Stan of Arcane||

||I mean any rational people would still try to go after their loved ones when they’re freed instead of like y’know going badonkers inside the cell?||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || Disregard the emergency of my suicidal sister, we must enegage in COITUS right now ||

Arcane S2 Finale || jokes aside, the show leans more toward shorter time passing because it doesn't take jinx much to kill herself or blow up her place ||

Arcane S2 Finale || also no signs of aging on vi ||

[dapper bobcat]

Arcane S2 Finale ||Also, I don’t know if a lot of times passed, but kind of baffled that in a short period, both Vi and Jinx’s hair grew marginally.||

||Jinx’s hair might be long enough to hold a skyscraper now||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || oh i think you got too rushed in watching, she cut her shair short now and only has one long bang ||

also pro tip just copy paste Arcane S2 Finale || ||

makes it way less annoying

[dapper bobcat]

Arcane S2 Finale ||No I mean when she was inside the cell||

||I know she cut her hair really short at EP9||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale ||oh yeah, that was mega long... I kinda dig it though ||

Arcane S2 Finale || goes pretty well with the menhera aesthetics she is sporting ||

[dapper bobcat]

Arcane S2 Finale ||But still, really funny how Vi’s interaction with Jinx inside the prison ended up.||

[final cedar]

We know she's not really|| rational though like freeing Jinx after all she did.. really?||

[final cedar]

That was something ya

[sinful vessel]

Arcane S2 ep 8

Absolute cinema

[dapper bobcat]

Arcane S2 Finale ||But still rational enough to go after her sister, but didn’t.||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || it makes sense from an emotional pov after losing her dad again and seeing jinx be sane and like-powder she wanted a slice of her past again, but rationally speaking that was drop dead stupid and morally speaking that was just not good. ||

[dapper bobcat]

Arcane S2 Finale ||Trying to release Powder, or engaging in Sesbian Lex?||

[spiral relic]

The first

[sinful vessel]

Oh boy

Last episode of arcane huh

Will watch later but this show is so good

[peak pilot]

It really is over

What a masterpiece

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END/S2E9 ||I was feeling conflicted for a bit but I think I actually loved it||

Arcane S2E9 ||Need more time to process my thoughts but that was pretty fucking thematically satisfying||

Can't believe I got graced with Kendrick and this at the same time

Stormlight 5 soon too

Absolute cinema

[peak pilot]

Can’t believe it’s over

I look forward to more projects from them

[shadow sequoia]

I am very pleased

I wonder how my parents will feel about it haha

[peak pilot]

I am too

I’m so sad though

Arcane s2 end ||jinx sacrifice. Maybe a hint that she’s not dead maybe with the crow? Idk. But the whole conclusion was beautiful||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Yeah, the Caitlyn scene feels weird if she's not alive and she did mention in S1 that she wanted to fly on one of those airships||

Arcane S2 END ||Pretty peak too because she broke the cycle by walking away and making people think she's dead (I assume Vi and Caitlyn know she's alive though)||

[peak pilot]

Arcane s2 end ||I loved victor and Jayce’s conclusion too. And ambessa. I thought she didn’t deserve to die by the rose and the mages were shady so I’m glad Mel stepped in||

[shadow sequoia]

I agree 100%

Arcane S2 END ||The amount of romance and humanity that was shown in Act 3 tied so much together about what really mattered to Jinx/Ekko, Vi/Caitlyn, and Jayce/Viktor||

Arcane S2 END ||Jinx with the short hair and eyeliner with normal clothing was really cute, that entire seventh episode was sad af but very wholesome||

Arcane S2 END ||Seeing Ekko hug Benzo and tell him how much he meant to him along with seeing Silco again made me more emotional than I expected||

[peak pilot]

Arcane s2 end ||the 7th episode was funny but emotional. Ekko was getting sentimental and enjoying his time while Jayce was fighting horrors behind his comprehension. But it was really bittersweet seeing a normal zaun||

Arcane s2 end ||Silcos speech was really good as well. About the cycle||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Yeah, I did NOT see the Jayce twist of the summoner being Viktor coming; I thought that was really cool and say what you will about time travel in storytelling, I think they did a decent job here||

Arcane S2 END ||I really liked the Jayce section too because they really leaned into the horror with him and Viktor evolving||

[peak pilot]

Arcane s2 end ||im normally strictly against time travel in stories but I actually think arcane did it in a satisfying way with the way they set up the hextech/arcsne/rune stuff||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||😭||

[peak pilot]

[shadow sequoia]

Yeah, that's how I feel

The memes are so good

Arcane S2 END ||https://x.com/EDYPttps/status/1860290178503352531||

So many good wallpapers in this act too

[peak pilot]

Knocked it out the park for animation per usual

Arcane s2 end ||subreddit is in shambles but when is a subreddit not. Not even to dismiss anyone’s criticisms but it seems like nothing can ever end well for people these days lol||

But enough about them

This was a goated experience

Can’t believe I took this long to watch it

[final cedar]

It's a great show and ya there are people saying it was rushed..

[peak pilot]

Arcane s2 end ||pretty much checked every box for me in regards to what I wanted to see so I’m satisfied. All time great show||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I kinda have to glaze it endlessly for actually having the balls to kill off so many characters (champions from the game included) and their sacrifices felt warranted (I know some are unclear and could technically be brought back) but I think it works regardless||

Excited to rewatch and jot down how I feel

[peak pilot]

Life is so unbelievable good when not interacting with fandoms

[shadow sequoia]

Indeed

[spiral relic]

what am I looking at

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||It's this meme lol||

[sinful vessel]

Arcane s2 ep 8 ||This orange haired bitch I swear to god||

Arcane S2 ep 8 ||SHES DEAD LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO ||

[sinful vessel]

Man

No more Arcane after today huh

[young compass]

at least we'll get future shows from them

[sinful vessel]

I hope the events of Arcane stay relevant and are referenced in those shows

Would be peak

||I also want to see more CaitVi content ||

[shadow sequoia]

[hard python]

Arcane s2 end || so so peak ||

Arcane s2 end || I loved the dynamic between Vi and Cait. First time imo I see western media depict an lgbtq relationship well
Also, is Ambessa implied to be dead? I can't tell
||

[bold yew]

Arcane s2 end || yes she dies , it’s not implied tho it’s been shown in a pretty straightforward way ||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || yes, mel is sitting around with her mask in hand so it seems to imply that ||

Arcane S2 Finale || which is weird because what was the point of stopping the mage if she ends up dead ||

[hard python]

Arcane s2 end || exactly she stopped the mage but her mom still died, maybe the idea is she stopped the mage from gaining some sort of power out of Ambessa? ||

[bold yew]

Arcane s2 end || yeah that confused me lol , like they didn’t shown the black rose whitch killing her or even injuring her and Mel saved her but she did die anyway ?||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || we will never know because the show is stopping at S2 but it could also be a "only I get to kill her" thing ||

[shadow sequoia]

^ I think that's what it was

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale ||you know that would be extra weird because she activated the necklace herself, I guess she needed the mage to disable her mom first ||

Rock paper scissor ass dynamics

[hard python]

Arcane s2 end || maybe the mask is an icon of being the leader? So ambessa gave her the mask because Mel is now the new leader? Kinda weird if Ambessa dies without being explicitly shown or maybe I just wanna be spoonfed things ||

[bold yew]

Arcane s2 end || Mel taking the mask is definitely her succeeding ambessa I think , like the soldiers has such reaction as well ||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Yeah, Ambessa acknowledges Mel as the "wolf" and I think her giving away the mask was her passing the torch in a sense, like Mel is fit to rule now||

[spiral relic]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-emo-wolf-werewolf-transform-gif-27196401

Arcane S2 Finale || mel irl ||

[bold yew]

Arcane s2 end || wait you meant it like , Mel saved her to kill her herself ?||

[main lion]

Arcane s2 end ||it aint anything like that. Mel wanted to stop her, but if possible she didnt want to kill her. She was already beaten, so stopping the thorn from killing her is reasonable. But she ended up dying anyway||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || so the deal is, mel can't beat her mom by herself and needs help, so she gets the mage to corner her and when is sufficiently incapacitated she intervenes the mage and shooes her for the kill ||

[bold yew]

Well I’m more with red on that

Arcane s2 end || her reaction wasn’t that of someone wanting to kill , at least it felt like that to me ||

[spiral relic]

yeah me too ngl

[hard python]

yee makes sense

[spiral relic]

the whole plotline is odd

[bold yew]

But I also understand why you would think that I guess

[hard python]

arcane s2 end || so this is it for the piltover/zuan plot right? next seasons will be different regions?||

[spiral relic]

supposedly

personally I don't care much because it is a minimum of 3 years away

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Probably wanted to leave the Black Rose a bit open-ended so they made it to where Mel wasn't necessarily out to kill her mom but wanted to do everything to stop her||

[hard python]

sweet

[bold yew]

Arcane s2 end || they mentioned more spin offs and a movie iirc on that ||

[shadow sequoia]

Yeah, we gotta wait and see

Arcane S2 END ||They already teased two other champions||

But I probably shouldn't say for everyone else's sake

[hard python]

Arcane s2 end || I clocked orianna but whos the second champ?||

[bold yew]

I think they will spoiled on that from
Internet anyway 😭

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||the teased champions arent for the next show most likely. Just teasing stuff for the world in general, as well as timeline||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||crow at the end||

[hard python]

ohhh clever

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Have you played the game?||

I assume yes but I don't want to say if not

[hard python]

arcane s2 || i was too busy thinking of GOT when I saw the crow than to make the connection with swain||

[hard python]

yes

[shadow sequoia]

Ah, you got it

Yeah

[bold yew]

[shadow sequoia]

Understandable

[scenic terrace]

S2 pretty good although not as good as s1

Arcane s2 end ||And after viewing the Reddit thread, it seems Jynx lived, which is nice. Much better outcome than that crappy sacrifice scene tbh, and it allows Vi to move on with her life thinking Jynx died. Gratz to Selvica and fish boy for being the only relevant characters to survive that won’t be league characters (Mel will definitely be a league character in the future, she doesn’t count.) I imagine Jayce, viktor, and Heimer are all alive, and can really pop out from the arcane whenever the plot dictates it. Ambessa and Warwick seem to be the only truly dead characters. Funny reading Reddit thread be mad about the Warwick design and the lore implications though ||

[bold yew]

Arcane s2 end || I think heimer also died and for Warwick design I too felt the design was off a little and it obviously was from his original game design at least in his face area , but I personally don’t mind it now I think it was important to have a more human face for the scenes where he shows his emotions||

|| but yeah I would be very surprised if jinx really died there ||

[modern lichen]

arcane finale time

[tawny parcel]

Finished arcane

Arcane end ||how does this work with correlation to league if this is canon||

[white smelt]

The carry throws and gets banned idek man

[tawny parcel]

So true brother

S2 very good but s1 is better

Imo

[white smelt]

Okay Adam I see you

[modern lichen]

arcane series finale ||man, maddie's death is so fucking satisfying||

[modern lichen]

arcane finale done, what a show

[bold yew]

has anyone watched breaking bad?

i have a question to fact check

[shadow sequoia]

Yes

What's the question

[bold yew]

breaking bad || i friend of mine tried to explain me that walter is ''stealing'' some of his victims charachteristics and take them in his personality but i just cant understand that its happening or when it is ||

i am s2 almost end btw

[shadow sequoia]

Hmmm

Breaking Bad S2 ||I can't say that I remember anything like that||

I would have to ask him what he means

[bold yew]

well an example he gave was

breaking bad s2|| that when he killed the krazy8 guy he started making sanwhich without the edge of the bread idk how its called ||

Breaking Bad S2 ||Ohhhhh right, because Krazy-8 didn't like the crust, Walter started eating sandwiches without the crust too. I see what he means. Yeah, that's something he does, I dom't remember how often it happens though. I'd have to remember the context and certain scenes. I guess you could call it a way to cope with trauma since Walt might be trying to keep a part of people like Krazy-8 alive in a sense.||

[bold yew]

okey , breaking bad || thats pretty cool detail then that i didnt noticed at all ||

like it a lot so far

[shadow sequoia]

I'm sure there's a specific name for that, I just don't know it

[bold yew]

cant say i know it

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||they said arcane is the new canon and anything that contradicts it in game lore will be rewritten in time||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||so does that mean characters will be cut???? Regardless, fun finale. I hate to use this word but unfortunately Ambessa has hella aura. I do think silco is just a stronger villain and season one was tighter but this was a ton of fun. ||

Arcane s2 end|| just curious how they handle that, because if characters like warwick, jinx, or heimerdinger are dead, its not like they would cut them from the game. Especially BECAUSE of arcane, with people wanting to play those characters now||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||no lol. They literally just added Ambessa 2 months ago ||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||also shout out sevika muscle mommy superiority ||

Arcane s2 end ||too bad she got kinda shafted act 3, she was great the first two acts. Although its cool to see her on the council||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end || thats like the only thing Im a bit disappointed in with season 2. Sevika was mega shafted screentime wise||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||I thought she great screen time first two acts, mainly just this last one she had like one line of dialogue MAYBE ||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||2 acts? Shes like entirely nonexistent in act 2||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||correct me if I’m w rong but it feels like she had more screen time in the first 2 acts then all of season 1 ||

[tawny parcel]

Oh wait

Ur right lol

Arcane s2 end|| act one she was heavily featured though, and hot. ||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||no, she was basically only in act 1. And even then her season 1 screentime was very high. She was Vi's main opponent in multiple battles, had a partnership with silco, and worked with the mob people||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| I kneel 🧎‍♂️ ||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||season 2 episode 5 Vi is the hottest character in the series||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||its still a good season but I’ll say its nowhere near as good as s1 since its flaws are incredibly glaring after episode 7. Caitvi definitely dragged it down for me even if I really liked their characters early on||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| actually speaking of vi what a random ass fucking sex scene, felt super forced, also you just want a goth girl ||

[shadow sequoia]

Lol

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||Im not too pressed about the characters lore being different from the games, it can be its own self-contained thing||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||(i want a muscle mommy) ||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end || it was a bit random but the two have a tendency to get like that in stressful situations lol. Happened in season 1 too. Then their first kiss early season 2. And then this||

[shrewd sigil]

arcane s2 end ||acts 2-3 jayce tho...||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||yeah, that sex scene added nothing to either characters and came after Jinx threatened to commit suicide which is odd||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||i know but this one was just such a stretch lol, especially with everything going on ||

[tawny parcel]

TRUE

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||im not surprised with Jayce’s redemption story because its pretty clear the only reason he’ll turn on Victor is if he saw a horrible future or timeline||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||To be fair, I think a decent amount of time passed between Jinx locking up Vi and the sex scene, I don't know that Vi would've known where to look for Jinx anyways||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||THE BEARD AND ROUGH HAIR SI SO HOT ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||well that and that I think their dynamic has generally been disappointing up to that point. The sex scene is just the cherry on top||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end @tidal tendon ||well, she said she was going to walk away. She didn't say suicide. I don't think Vi interpreted it as suicide tbh.

Then Cait basically said "I know you too well I purposefully stationed the guards elsewhere so you could get here. " And Vi's thought was "maaaaan, this girl is everything to me."

I don't think it was forced. But it was maybe a bit long.||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Yeah, I don't think Vi understood what Jinx meant||

Arcane S2 END ||It works out though because Ekko teleports to Jinx's hideout which is where he was trying to solve the whole time thing in the other universe as well||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| no but its still a pretty weird thing to do like a couple hours after your sister leaves you and ur trauma dumping but idk||

[shadow sequoia]

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||mannnnn, ekko is so fucking cool||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I agree, they probably just wanted Caitlyn to be there for Vi unlike the last time she was in a cell||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||I do think that Caitlyn is just a bit too quick getting over her dictator arc in the last act and that her feelings around Jinx took a complete 180 in the end of episode 6. This could be solved if there’s more episodes which seems to be a common suggestion||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I mean its literally just "I just need to destress rn" type shit||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| sucks because even with act 3 its not like he did THATTT much||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||it’s funny how Ekko was gone for most of the season and became a fan favorite. Ep 7 and 9 did wonders||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Yeah sometimes, sex can be a stress reliever and I'm willing to bet Fortiche just wanted to do that ever since they got away with Jayce and Mel doing it||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||he basically got an entire episode dedicated to himself so I'm satisfied with his character. I don't think theres anything else they could've done with him||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||they almost kissed like 2 times in season 1 and in both instances it was in high tensity situations ye||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||It was pretty funny because I was watching it with a couple of buddies and they were wondering if it would happen and then it did and I was like "Oh wow"||

[main lion]

should probs tag even if being vague

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||I will say that my worst issue is with the whole Piltover and Zaun situation being resolved that anti-climatically. I was fully expecting the Noxins to be the final threat but the transition from the civil conflict to the war felt way too quick||

But still, an awesome show that left its hallmark on television, I would give it a 9/10 minimum

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||yeah episode 7 was phenomenal. I mainly just really like ekko and his ability is done super cool. So it would have been cool to see it more during the big fight. When the cool ass dubstep started going in and he started to fight the arcane robots that was awesome. Too bad he sucked and failed||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||There was that scene of Jayce trying to reason with them but yeah I agree, I take it that Jinx and Ekko were enough to rally the Zaunites to fight against Noxus since they could earn a seat at the table (I wish this was onscreen but you can intuit it)||

[tidal tendon]

I think its runner up for best of the season

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||this mf was save scumming with Jinx 😭😭 rewinding to pick the right dialogue option this mf ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||Sevika didn’t get any input at the last act, sadge||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I kinda like that even though Sevika took a backseat, she becomes a councilor||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||well, he ended up being the one to separate viktor's consciousness from the other people's so that they could talk to him directly instead of talking to the amalgamation of consciousnesses that viktor absored. So I wouldnt say he failed||

[shadow sequoia]

Yeah

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||also the meg stuff i didnt really care for this season ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||People saying the ending makes the entire season much less series bad is overreacting, but man do I feel conflicted even if I think its generational stuff||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||If you remember, the other chembarons got taken out in the beginning of that one episode by Caitlyn and her group so Sevika was most likely the leader of the undercity anyways||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||it def could have used like…1, or 2 more episodes. But i don’t think yeah it needs any more than two||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I don't really have much issue with almost anything except for acts 1-3 being rushed (resulting in us not getting to know the random helpers that joined except for maddie). And sevika being shafted in act 2 and 3. ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||yeah, the politics and nuances in s1 is so much more explored compared to that in s2. S2 just needed a little bit more time and the Piltover/Zaun conflict would feel more compelling||

[shadow sequoia]

Agreed

Arcane S2 END ||But I was very happy with everyone's (main cast) conclusions so I'm not too annoyed by it||

Arcane S2 END ||Biggest complaints are too many music videos and pacing for sure||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||the politics aren't really on the table anymore in season 2 though. The stakes are much higher, and the indvidual character goals more personal. ||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||ambessa has the aura while silco has being one of the greatest villains in a tv series period||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||all the scenes we saw of silco in s2 were great too||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||shout out silco 🗣️ ||

[young compass]

arcane s2 end ||singed is the best antagonist in the show||

[buoyant mauve]

Chat should I watch arcane season 2

[young compass]

yes

[main lion]

did you finish?

[young compass]

yes

[main lion]

nice

[tawny parcel]

This is valid

[young compass]

i have lots of thoughts

[main lion]

liked it as much as, more, or less than s1?

[young compass]

will send tmrw

more and less

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||that conversation between singed and ambessa after warwick got released was great stuff||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I think the politics were sidelined because there was more schemery afoot, especially with the whole Ambessa and Maddie thing going on||

[main lion]

understood 🙏 will wait for thoughts

[tawny parcel]

A highlight of the season

I hope this team makes more league stuff

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I'd have to rewatch to pick up on details because even I saw people noticing things I wasn't||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||I do think it made some attempts with political commentary like with Caitlyn and Ambessa’s relationship leading to Piltover’s authoritarian practices and foreign interference, but even then, that felt lackluster. Obviously, season 2 would be the culmination of season 1’s set up but it didn’t seem to handle the well known political aspects of season 1 with the same care||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||politics weren't an element anymore. Piltover moved on to ruling with an iron fist. Political agreements were no longer an option||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||For me, it's just the jump of Zaun not working with Piltover to fight Noxus to working to fight Noxus that feels a bit abrupt cause they never really earn the other side's trust||

Arcane S2 END ||But I assume Ekko brought them together because he was the Firelight leader and I remember seeing his number 2 with Sevika||

Arcane S2 END ||That and maybe a little bit more on why they were absent for Act 2 (Sevika and the rest of Zaun) because it wasn't like everyone was ignorant about Viktor or Ambessa being around and she didn't have a very big army||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||sevika brought them together, not ekko. ekko was with jinx probably building their little airship thing.||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Oh, you think they just showed up on their own? Cause they attacked together||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I think sevika got them to show up||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I assumed Jinx and Ekko brought them with or at least, planned it out||

[main lion]

arcane ||thats why sevika is on the council at the end||

s2 end

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I wonder what changed her mind then||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I dont think sevika was ACTUALLY walking away cause she didnt agree with the plan. I think she secretly left to gather allies and return||

[shadow sequoia]

Ah maybe

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||i wouldn’t call it a trope, but it feels awkward when two sides that are engaged in a conflict for much of the series is suddenly stopped because of a third party.
Obviously, it was clear Noxus will be the final hurdle, but it still feels underwhelming considering how much investment was placed in the conflict||

||I was mostly expecting Jinx to play a role in rallying Zaun to some degree so I was surprised to see that didn’t happen considering the trailers and earlier season 2 content||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I guess that in my mind, the only way Sevika helps Piltover is if Jinx does because she had saved her previously and probably convinced her to "break the cycle" and whatnot cause of Vi and Ekko forgiving her||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||also I love every character and vi and jinx are now some of my favorite characters in anything basically. But I'm kinda hoping the cast in the next show has a more balanced cast gender-wise. Ambessa, Jinx, Vi, Sevika, Mel, Cait, Isha, are all some of the most important characters and all women. Then Jayce, heimer, ekko, and viktor for the men side. At least in season 2. Season 1 did have vander, silco, and the other officer.||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||If they do Demacia and Noxus next, it could be pretty balanced||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||I heard they haven’t started animating anything yet even if there might be plans for a future story. So we gotta wait a decade ||

[shadow sequoia]

Makes sense

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||they should do bilgewater give me gangplank||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||I hope they focus on other nations since there’s so much LoL lore to be told, preferably in a straight timeline right after the events of Arcane but that’s just my preference||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||eh, took 3 years between season 1 and season 2 and they hadnt started animating yet until season 1 ended. So its fine. Season 1 took forever to make because they were testing how they even want to animate anything, do the tone, etc. ||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||is there anything so undoing as a daughter?||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Bilgewater would be neat, I have a feeling they're gonna avoid regions like Ionia or Shurima because the concepts/characters there are a bit much||

Arcane S2 END ||Also, I just remembered Heimerdinger telling Ekko that the greatest thing one can do in life is to forgive||

Arcane S2 END ||Feels like that might be indicative of the entire season||

Pretty neat

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||theyll definitely do both eventually imo. But I feel like they might start with the smaller regions||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||It was Silco that said that not Heimerdinger, oops||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||kinda funny how Ekko and Jinx is like the greatest ship for me considering the fact that they were never shown interacting in their childhood and their only encounter was a brutal fight||

[main lion]

arcane season 2 end ||rip to whatever region they choose for the live action they're making with the life is strange creator though. I have absolutely 0 interest in a live action tv series from league lore after seeing how gorgeous they can do those places in animation. If any location I care about gets that treatment, Im ending it. And I pray they don't try and make the live action and the animated lore connected at all||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||they interacted in their childhood in season 1. They even had an entire music video about their childhood||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Iirc, in the game, Ekko has a line where he says to Jinx that he "used to have a crush on her before she started talking to guns." Really cool how they apply some things here and there but I love that they mostly did their own original story that wasn't tied to the game's lore||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9G1VOjN_84 ||

wrong one I think

idr which it is

[tidal tendon]

Arcane season 2 end ||I didn’t recall them speaking to each other in the season at all but does the music video even count if a lot of watchers didn’t saw it||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Vi and Jinx mention him as "Little Man." The music video Red is talking about is their duel where it cuts to younger versions of the two. We see them practicing (Jinx with her paintball pistol which is funnily enough, the same pistol she fights Rictus with I think and Ekko with his stopwatch) in the middle of their real fight.||

Arcane S2 END ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkscEokV238||

This one

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||Dwayne Johnson playing my favorite character with Imagine Dragon vocals constantly playing in the background will be the death of me||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||at the very least in ekko vs jinx we saw flashbacks of it. But I feel like in eps 1-3 we saw them talk a teensy bit. That said, that just goes to show they've ALWAYS progressed the plot like this. There has never been much downtime for just regular conversation etc. So act 2 and 3 being said to have poor pacing for reasons similar to stuff like that does bother me||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Also, the same pistol Silco tries to kill Vi with in S1E9||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||I thought quite a fair bit of people including me had a slight issue with the Ekko and Jinx fight because we barely saw them interact beforehand (if they did)||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Yeah, I'm very forgiving of the pacing if it's similarly spread throughout the whole series, like Jayce and Ekko didn't interact as much as I would've liked but those little moments are awesome and the lack of more is made up by giving each of them their character-centric plotlines (Ekko interacting with Jinx in the other timeline, Jayce understanding Viktor and vice versa)||

Arcane S2 END ||As Silco said in S1E3, it's like drowning—a story of opposites||

I might have that episode number wrong

Oh well

Arcane S2 END ||Honestly, there was a good portion of the show there where it felt like they were advertising Mel as a new champion lol||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||With such a large cast and plethora of plot lines to settle, more episodes or seasons would do the trick. Relationships in s1 like Silco with Jinx/Sevika/Vander was really effective no matter the screentime||

||for the other characters, it can be surprisingly hit or miss especially in season 2 where I wasn’t a fan of Caitlyn and Vi or just how sudden all of the interactions feel. I was fully expecting break neck pacing but even then something didn’t felt right||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I don't think it needed more. Honestly act 1 is the only part I feel could've used more. And then maybe 2 extra scenes with sevika throughout acts 2 and 3. Everything else was paced to my liking||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane season 2 end ||Like, it wouldn’t hurt to know more about Noxus and the Black Rose, especially since Mel was kinda just eh due to her lack of involvement until the end||

||I legit saw no one talking about her for a while which is a shame||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||the point is clearly for noxus and the black rose to be explored in future shows. I really do think they'll have minor influence in every single show to showcase their influence over the world of runetera. And then eventually get their own show. ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 ||I guess, I do think all we need is some Sevika input since she basically represents Zaun with Jinx and we’ll be good||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Honestly, if the me a couple of years ago saw this, I would probably be annoyed at them even touching the whole "Hexcore causing civiliation to collapse" thing because I would've wanted the story to stay grounded and deal with the relationships and the whole world-ending plot felt like that should've been something dealt with in like S4 or in another later series. But they actually managed to make it work and thematically, it makes sense (Heimerdinger and Jayce) and I actually didn't fucking see Viktor being the summoner who saved Jayce as a kid coming so they kinda kicked my ass away from that complaint entirely lololol.||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||wonder if we’re gonna get a prequel or sequel when that happens. I do hope they get plenty of exploration when the next project drops||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||as soon as I saw the mage in the other universe that jayce was sent to, I thought "oh this is 100% viktor isn't it". But even without being surprised by it at the end, I actually like it a lot. The whole "everyone loses their will of choice so that nobody has to suffer" plot is super common in fantasy media. So seeing it be viktor himself, trying to stop his own past self, was a refreshing take on that cliche. I liked it a lot for that reason. ||

[shadow sequoia]

Agreed

Arcane S2 END ||I don't have a big problem with tropes as long as they're different enough or are done well, like people would probably take issue with Ekko time traveling or alternate dimensions being introduced but since it didn't take away from the primary narrative and Ekko's ability was only (and I assumed this) going to be used for a single clutch moment||

Arcane S2 END ||I wish we had more time to spend with Maddie and the random squad so that I could actually feel something when Loris died||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||taking issue with ekko time traveling would be cringe since thats literally his thing in league. Should be expected .

People thought he would show up and save Isha in episode 7. So its really cool that they committed to Isha's death||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I actually did wonder if they would ever reveal the traitor because I want to say they said something about that earlier in the season but I think I had brushed it off as just Ambessa doing Ambessa things or Black Rose stuff||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I think I was fine with maddie's screentime by the end. But we needed more time with the big guy that was Vi's homie during her alcoholic/binging arc||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Yeah, Isha staying dead is very nice and I like that instead, Ekko is used to save Jinx||

[shadow sequoia]

Yeah

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| weird that isha is not brought up a single time in act 3 actually||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||it makes sense. Jinx doesn't even wanna talk to anyone after that||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Kids have a tendency to die in this series so I assume that Jinx would be the only one to say anything and she was just so broken by that point, that no one else including her had much to say||

Arcane S2 END ||I heard that they were reworking Viktor in League so I'm wondering if he's going to be completely rewritten to match Arcane. I think that would be awesome because they really leaned into how creepy his whole arc was.||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||it IS shocking just how much child death there is in this 😭||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Or rather, his design and whatnot.||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||Im seeing people say they dislike viktor's design in episode 9 and I think thats so insane. It is so much cooler than his league design. And this is coming from someone that thinks his league design is cool||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Viktor's design and gameplay is so bad LOL, fucking dude was looking like a bionicle with the skins I had for him and he's not very viable most of the time so they should change him||

Arcane S2 END ||I was waiting for the death ray to be on his back for so long and then they used it as a way for him to use runes which was really fucking cool||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| both designs are very cool :D ||

Arcane s2 ||this shit gas ||

[shadow sequoia]

Now look up the old one

Arcane S2 END ||God I love the Jinx and Ekko dance scene so much||

Arcane S2 END ||Seeing Claggor and Mylo was fucking wild||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| my heart 💔||

[main lion]

Arcane s2 end ||give us bilgewater next ||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Those really sweetly animated parts too, the watercolor and the Jinx one near the end, it was so pretty||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 ||mylo needs to shave dawg that stache is not working||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane ||TAHM KENCH ||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Gangplank, Graves, and Twisted Fate would go hard||

Arcane S2 END ||They'd absolutely have Miss Fortune too as a character if they used those others||

[young compass]

i dont want a bilgewater arc

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I think thresh has some lore in bilgewater too. Could throw him in there at some point||

wtf

[young compass]

cause miss fortune is boring as shit

[main lion]

they can make her cool tho

[young compass]

the whole shadow isles do

if they wanted to dos omething

they'd probably involve it

[modern lichen]

arcane series ending ||did you guys like singed's conclusion||

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||Thresh would imply Shadow Isles/Ruination stuff which I think is... a bit too much||

[main lion]

would be ideal yeah

I want bilgewater so badly

[young compass]

s2 arcane end ||but if they wanted a more direct continuation of the story, noxus into shurima with heavy void elements is what i want||

[shadow sequoia]

At least, they should wait on that

[young compass]

yes

[main lion]

give me more pirate media that isnt fucking pirates of the caribbean

[modern lichen]

watch black sails

[tawny parcel]

Arcane end ||wish we got like one or two more scenes with him||

[young compass]

all you need is treasure island

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||I'm surprised there was actually no void shit, I was expecting that that was where the Hexcore was leading to||

[modern lichen]

black sails is based on treasure island

so yeah, technically true

[shadow sequoia]

Arcane S2 END ||It's still so funny to me how literally everything would've worked out if Vi had just died||

[tawny parcel]

Why you hating

[young compass]

does black sails have a long john silver equivalent

[modern lichen]

it literally has long john silver

[tawny parcel]

Pirates if the Caribbean ||davy jones be looking crazy ||

[modern lichen]

its like a prequel to the novel

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||hes going to be one of the characters that will probably pop up again in a future animated show. So I think its good that all he got in episode 9 was the tease with orianna||

[young compass]

i see

arcane s2 end ||someone post the jinx killing herself while vi and cait makeout meme||

[tawny parcel]

Pirates of the Caribbean || https://tenor.com/view/reingeorgelt-achtarmig-davy-jones-gif-23886075 ||

Why this so gas

[young compass]

so dumb lol

[tawny parcel]

[shadow sequoia]

I rewatched the Pirates movies recently

[tawny parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/steamhappy-steamsad-steamangry-steammad-steamangy-gif-10453971517039865787

[shadow sequoia]

Pretty fun movies

[modern lichen]

pirates of the carribean ||man, say all you can about the quality of the series but they look so damn good||

[main lion]

I just need pirate media with fortiche's animation

[modern lichen]

i'm excited for the penelope of sparta movie(????)

[tawny parcel]

Pirates of the Caribbean ||davy jones still looks crazy good, better than most cgi today||

[main lion]

I never finished that bilgewater/shadow isles rpg actually

[modern lichen]

pirates of the carribean ||davy jones is perhaps the best CGI rendered character in movie history||

[shadow sequoia]

It's pretty cool

I'll take anything at this point because that MMO is never fucking coming out

[main lion]

I wish they put a bit more talent on their singleplayer games tbh

you can tell they're super budget games given to random studios

[young compass]

they stopped making them lol

[main lion]

theres a yordle one coming out

[young compass]

like full kibbutz on the program

that one is already out

[main lion]

is it?

[young compass]

yeah

it was basically a mobile game

[main lion]

oh it came out this year

[main lion]

is there confirmation of this?

or do you mean they just havent

announced another

in a while

they should honestly just get a lot of talent together and make a SINGLE developer studio

that makes high quality league singleplayer games

that released like

every 3 years

[young compass]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_Forge

they killed it when the post-covid industry shrinkage lay-offs were happening

[main lion]

ah damn

that sucks

I still think its a good idea to make a bunch of singleplayer league spinoffs. But I don't think they got the right game concepts to the right teams

good that they initially supported indie devs but there was always something a bit jank looking about almost all their singleplayer games

the ruined king was the only exception imo

[young compass]

that was probably their best

[main lion]

did you play all of them?

[young compass]

i didnt play hextech mayhem or bandle tale

the nunu game sucked imo

ekko one was inconsistent

[tawny parcel]

I heard the chain guy was good

[young compass]

mageseeker had bad politics

[tawny parcel]

Im blanking on his name

[main lion]

the nunu one was such a strange choice. So many better options for what seemed like a platformer

[young compass]

but it was decent

[young compass]

sylas, game is mageseeker

[tawny parcel]

Ah

Yeah idk shit about the politics so

[main lion]

is mageseeker a roguelike

[young compass]

i said bad politics but what i really meant was like

it was an infantile depiction of the topic

like metaphor

some people probably liked it

no not a roguelike

[main lion]

oh maybe Id try it then

[young compass]

gameplay was alright

id say it's not worth $30

[main lion]

was it kinda like gow 1-3

[young compass]

wait till sale

[main lion]

a beatem up or something

[young compass]

gameplay is overhead

[main lion]

but ye sad that the studio is gone. I really hope they revisit the attempt again one day

[young compass]

think they're just moving efforts onto other facets

like 2kxkcd and the mmo

and whatever that destiny mmo thing they were teasing was

like valorant but an mmo

[main lion]

ye but like, so they have a studio for the moba and its internal modes

they have a studio for the mmo

they have a studio for the fighting game

why not make an actual internal studio for singleplayer

[young compass]

the games weren't profitable probably

[main lion]

instead of essentially doing outsourcing to an indie studio

[young compass]

they might have gone all the way and made a riot sanctioned single player game if the indie games had shown a demand

[modern lichen]

gonna watch smile 2 tonight, heard its better than the first which isnt a high bar especially

[main lion]

oh Im sure, they looked really unpolished both artistically and mechanically

but I think thats because of their "random indie studio outsourcing" stuff

[main lion]

enjoy 🙏

[young compass]

hard to take a risk like that though

[main lion]

they spent a bajillion on arcane

I getcha though. But its just, league makes fat stacks

[young compass]

they spent a lot but I think that was like, an effort for a much larger ambition

a single player game doesn't have the same reward attached

esp since they're not games that continue making riot money

[main lion]

a singleplayer game is how they feed league interest to console players tho 😔

[young compass]

wild rift is how they do that now :D

[main lion]

[young compass]

i doubt we see more riot shows till 26 though

i dunno when that live action is out

maybe end of next year

[main lion]

live action could be 2025 ye

fortiche's next show in 2027 probs

[raw gate]

Arcane end (S2 Ep. 9) || Conflicted is the word I’d use. I need to sit with my thoughts about the series for a little while, but my initial reaction is a collide of emotions, both good and bad. It’s as if the coherence of the narrative was thrown out in spite of the consistent brilliance of the show’s thematics and artistry.

The final episode is a supremely mesmerizing spectacle, but at what cost?

We needed less Vi and Cait and more Vi and Jinx. The way Jinx’s conclusion was delivered felt poor in general. Viktor and Jayce dynamics are probably my favorite thing to come from the written aspects of the series

7.75/10 for the whole thing. I hope they continue to go the route of animation for future League shows ||

Nope

I haven't finished S2 yet

I am watching The Witcher

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||Riot, fund a Noxus and Ambessa based prequel and my life will be yours||

[limber harbor]

I finally understand exactly how I’m feeling about the arcane ending after some mulling over it.

Arcane entire series spoilers

|| it’s a feeling I feel often in nearly all major series endings, there should’ve been an in between. I don’t believe the last episode was good enough for concluding everyone’s character arcs, nor resolving the relationship with zaun and piltover ( we get little information on that to begin with) and u think a lot of the characters conclusions are just generally weaker. I’m thinking mostly Mel, Isha, and Caitlyn, I’ve already listed the issues I have with these 3 so I won’t repeat it again, but there arcs or entire character in general I do not think we’re as good as they promised to to be. Jinx’s ending is what I’ll call ok, whether she died or lived, I feel like it’s not a strong ending for her, nor did we need such an ending for her, but I’m not completely mad at it at all, it’s just an ok ending.

But I do not consider the general ending as a whole bad despite the fact that I’m disappointed in some of the characters, because I believe Viktor, Ekko and Jayce were remarkable characters and Jayce surprised me most in the end by how good he turned out. Which is why no matter what I can’t say in disappointed entirely in the ending, because there’s so much good parts about it. And so much good character moments. Episode 7 is of S2 is easily the strongest episode in the series right behind Episode 7 of season 1. I didn’t talk about Vi much for this because I generally have little interest in her.||

Last arcane rambling

Entire series gets an 8/10 for me

[drowsy knot]

Gladiator 2 ||it was a lot better than I thought. The rhinos and sharks sent me kinda ticked off at Lucius but overall I’m glad the series didn’t try to be more than it was: a bunch of backstabbing people and an MC that preaches non-violence through violence||

[modern lichen]

Gladiator 2 || where did he preach non violence ||

[drowsy knot]

Gladiator 2 ||tbf I’m exaggerating and being hyperbolic since he was very bloodthirsty most of the time.

However Lucius did preach to other gladiators in the colosseum that these fights are meaningless, they should avoid bloodshed for the sake of entertainment, etc. like, he wasn’t preaching non-violence but he was holding them to a higher standard due to his aspirations for Rome||

[bold yew]

Tell me you’re lying

[shrewd sigil]

i wonder which one of them is gonna be the live action

[obsidian basalt]

with a bit of luck none of them

[last perch]

Prison Break S1 re-watch || I watched this show about 3 years ago, almost forgot everything about it. The chemistry between the characters in the show is done in professional way, also every character feel likeable to some extent, the prison doesn't feel like a prison, it feels like a sanctuary to some extent, I guess the directors done a good job setting up the right atmosphere of the show||

||Emotional assault. That is all. Also Vi had a point but she ain’t need to smack the shit out of Powder like that LMAO||

[blazing rune]

Arcane S1 E3 ||Yeah, act 1 is a real punch in the gut. Also you can see Vi instantly regreting that smack. It was a moment of frustration, which is valid.||

Arcane S1 E3 ||Poor Powder tho, she did whatever she thought it was best||

[modest canyon]

Arcane S1 E3 ||I feel bad but I don’t, she literally didn’t listen to Vi’s advice once. She’s a child sure, but she objectively made a selfish decision||

[hazy radish]

Too many people were hating on the movie for no reason actually a great movie

[young compass]

Maaaan

Arcane s2 end ||@jolly heath I know you at least agree with me on this but the Cait Vi plot takes away from the show in s2. It really feels like fan service lmao ||

||I actually cracked up at that make out scene at the end||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| its so out of tone its comical||

[young compass]

Arcane s2 end ||even in general I was just wanting them to get off-screen when they were on it. Every other character was more interesting ||

[unkempt agate]

Arcane s2 end || fuck my sister locked me up and is off to end of her life. oh nevermind forget all about my situationship is here lets hook up ||

[young compass]

Arcane s2 end ||I got what they were going for kind of? It was just so stark it ended up comical. And I just generally resented how they were handled so I really didn’t connect ||

[unkempt agate]

Arcane s2 end || Caitvi in general, as a couple, do not really contribute much to the show. It's alot of fanservice (granted im the fan bring serviced tbh) but goddamn that transition was so nuts ||

Arcane s2 end || they should've used all that caitvi screentime for more jinx, give my girl like a few minutes to mention Isha. If anyone even remembers her... ||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end|| i think it was good season 1, but probably seeing the popularity it got from the end of s1 it pushed them to start doing it more into season 2 aware of how many people liked it ||

[primal mason]

I’m gonna watch Le samourai

[tawny parcel]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[unkempt agate]

Arcane s2 end || they did NOT have enough time to dilly dally around with caitvi! Get to the real stuff!!! ||

[tawny parcel]

Arcane s2 end ||isha died and then no one said shit so like did it even matter||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||we have real dynamics like Ekko and Jinx or Jayce and Victor. But Caitvi had to ruin it everytime they’re both on screen.

Also, the last words of Arcane being “I’m the dirt under your fingernail cupcake” seriously pissed me off lmao||

||almost made the balloon riding into the horizon felt less emotional||

[unkempt agate]

pisses me off the more I think about it

[tidal tendon]

Now, I love them individually but #thosetwo should never be seen together in any continuation of the story

[unkempt agate]

well yeah exactly

arcane season 2 || caitlin is a really great character imo, and yeah ofcourse vi is important to the story but together? as a couple? they did not contribute shit. they did give us funny joke from jinx though I guess lol ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||their relationship just reads like a wattpad fanfic unfortunately, don’t know what went wrong with it when it was solid by s2 act 1||

[unkempt agate]

arcane season 2 || virgin caitvi chad jayvik ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end||then again, the #klukluxkiramman arc was sold once Vi called her cupcake||

[unkempt agate]

that was so fucking funny lmao

[tidal tendon]

Let out the biggest oh brother of my life when that happened

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2/end || vi: cupcake
caitlin: LETS GO BETRAY AMBESSA ||

it really, made me giggle so hard lmao

[tidal tendon]

Now, to reiterate, I really really love Arcane and its ending is overhated even though the reception is better than most other series ending this year.

But my hate for #thosetwo has reached Chernobyl meltdown levels

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||also inadvertently failed the Piltover & Zaun conflict that was the soul of the series once Jinx and Cait started tolerating each other||

[unkempt agate]

Yeah..

all that precious screentime

but oh well

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||Victor and Jayce alongside Ekko saved it for me. I was genuinely worried after episode 8 only for that reveal to revitalize my love for the series||

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2 end || TIMEBOMB ||

|| fuck man that stromae track ||

its peak

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||I remember that one account on Twitter who got fucking obliterated by the yuri community when they jokingly suggested Arcane should have more yaoi’s lmao. That was by the end of act 2 and their words ringed truer then ever before||

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2 end || ekko is such a fucking goat. landed face first into an universe where he has everything he yearned for yet still fought to get home to provide for the ones he cares about there ||

[young compass]

Arcane s2 end ||it’s quite literally that I love every main character EXCEPT cait and vi lmao, it makes me feel like a HOMOPHOBE but NO THEY JUST…. ||

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2 end || and yup jayce and viktor have fully enamored me. that cosmic scene was so breathtaking the dialogue really lingers in my brain. what a great pairing, destined to save eachother in every universe from the very beginning ||

[unkempt agate]

nahhh ur good man lmfao

i think we all get it

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||sad stuff that the goat has to lose everything while #thosetwo and Singed got away with it, but sometimes, being the goat means having a low point to bounce back from||

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2 end || some caitvi scenes, well most, feel like a wattpad fanfiction. very out of place most of the time too lol ||

[young compass]

Arcane s2 end ||I fucking LOVE that singed got away with it, it sets him up for the next conflict which he’ll be heavily involved with ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||same, but the thing is, I’ll be perfectly okay if Jayce and Victor is somehow a couple. That just shows Vi and #klukluxkiramman sucks||

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2 end || maddie being public enemy #1 is really fucking funny though i love the reactions from everyone ||

|| never trust a ginger with a fuckass bob! ||

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2 end || caitvi could never be 10% of the pairing that jayvik is!! ever!!!!! ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||don’t get me wrong, Singed is also the goat but I’m just miffed that Ekko lost his imaginary girlfriend ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||the yuri fandom won over the yaoi, this is some woke nonsense 💯||

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2 end || i personally dont think they belong together romantically though, i think the deepest beauty of their bond is how its fully platonic, theyre just soulmates lol. its so refreshing to see, to me personally ||

either way its peak im an enthusiast what can i say

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||they quite literally are soul mates lmao. But yeah, I’m just joking around since Victor and Jayce is the strongest duo in the series by far||

[unkempt agate]

by a long mile

arcane s2 end || i mean literally, from start to finish, it was them, it was about them ||

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||now, time for me get excited for a Noxus series only for Caitlyn and Vi to be one of the primary povs since it ties into the former’s character arc||

[young compass]

Arcane s2 end ||btw the viktor shit is so insanely cool, I got chills the whole time. ||

[tidal tendon]

please Riot, DONT LET SATANISM WIN

[unkempt agate]

yup ^

[tidal tendon]

Arcane s2 end ||what’s better is that there was no vocals ruining the moment||

[young compass]

Arcane s2 end ||Any league player who rejects the viktor visual changes is tripping dude I can’t wait to play this new shit lmao, before viktor was like cyborg Lenin but a parody ||

[tidal tendon]

Thank you whoever was in charge of that moment

[unkempt agate]

arcane s2 end || idc if its corny i really got a little teary eyed because it was just breathtaking lol it was just a deep appreciation of the media i was experiencing the entire time. god it was so fucking gorgeous and the voice acting lord ||

nuts visuals

[young compass]

Yeah dude I was extremely overwhelmed lmao

[tidal tendon]

I ascended throughout the scene

[unkempt agate]

i was locked the fuck in

i miss myself 24 hours ago experiencing that for the first time

so nuts this is a show based off of league of legends

[young compass]

As someone who likes league

This is all I could have ever asked for

[unkempt agate]

from what i understand

arcane is good because it drastically changed alot of characters

lol

[young compass]

League lore has comprehensively changed like 16 times

There was no coherent story really

this defined stuff

[unkempt agate]

well thats cool you can just make it up yourself atp

[young compass]

the region and such existed but the character stories were kind of inconsistent

They kept firing writers and bringing in new ones during upturns in business lol

[unkempt agate]

like, LoL viktor is insane. its so funny

[young compass]

But now arcane is just canon and everything can build around it

[unkempt agate]

thats really great

i still wont play it though god bless 🙏

[young compass]

Arcane s2 end ||Ekko on release was so starkly different from what he came to be it cracks me up||

[unkempt agate]

okay honestly i might give it another crack for fun looking at it from an arcanepilled perspective

[young compass]

Honestly only do it if you have others to play with

[unkempt agate]

yeah i do

[young compass]

I’ve played league for 12 years and I’ve never really enjoyed playing alone

[unkempt agate]

I see

yeah dude when i played it for the first (and last) time i was genuinely shocked at how dogwater it was

but that was like 6 years ago

[young compass]

Yeah it’s a weird game with a steep learning curve, you basically just have to find a character you find satisfying and start exploring why you do

So you can find other characters like that and start focusing on what you’re getting out of it

Some people really enjoy the sense of progression as you learn more

some just find it fun to do weird stuff in-game and make it work

I play weird off-meta shit and try to get really high ranked with it

[unkempt agate]

league propaganda in my western-series

[young compass]

I Love League

[unkempt agate]

no okay really i have a few buddies who actively play ill ask if i can join sometime

[young compass]

Sounds good, I think the mmo will appeal to more people but that’s gonna take a long time to come out

I think they’re trying to make an MMO that isn’t like the traditional basement dweller mmo

This is your sorcery

[young compass]

My messages are obscured to those who will never try league like you so you don’t out my gig

[main lion]

This mf has tried to convince people that would be playing alone to play league for so long

And he doesnt even enjoy solo playing

Crazy…

[hard python]

looool why

[primal mason]

[young compass]

They’ll find friends

[worthy crypt]

league of legends is like smoking, like yeah im sure youll have some fun with it, it can be pretty fun. But i wouldnt reccomend it

[main lion]

I want bilgewater

[main lion]

You dont just find friends in league… ive played solo every time for the past 3 times I quit

I wish heroes of the storm became popular, i enjoyed it so much more than the other mobas

Arcane S2 End - ||why do people keep talking about Season 3 , i thought Season 2 was the final season according to riot?||

[primal mason]

Meh spy movie

[last perch]

Arcane s2 ending ||one note about the ending, I just realized that the true winner of this war was singed throughout the series, he succeeded in his expirements, and revived his daughter at the end||

[last perch]

||it is||

[young compass]

Soooo dramatic

[young compass]

If everyone plays league we can all be friends and play together <3

[rich meadow]

I legit would/somewhat want to but I’m already consumed by a high barrier to entry game that takes up all my free time

[frank rivet]

lol it took me a year and a 1/2 to break my league addiction, i ain't going back to that shit

[hard python]

something about that game is so addictive

is it just the lp chase or is the game just fun?

[proud fiber]

I've been lenient but this is a CRIMINAL take ☹️

[modern lichen]

ITS NOT EVEN A SPY MOVIE WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU WATCHING

EYES CLOSED????????

bro watched a whole different movie he strawmanned feelings about

[frank rivet]

its like any other competitive multiplayer

[tidal tendon]

Gladiator 2 ||I liked it a fair bit, many of the negative reviews are tripping but the acting is definitely pretty shitty out of Pedro and Denzel||

[last perch]

Saaaame

[last perch]

It is badly addictive

The game force you to play all the day, while enduring the toxicity (literally)

Cause it is just 90% toxic community.

You gain nothing from playing it honestly, just another video game.

[jolly heath]

Arcane s2 end || Thats exactly how i felt about it yeah. Everytime they were on screen i was hoping it would cut to someone else cause everyone else was more interesting ||

Arcane s2 end || that make out scene was so out of place there 😭||

[sage sleet]

||big agree ik its most definitely a minority opinion but it just felt forced after s1. Maybe it’s the fans idk but I felt nothing for them in season two|| arcane s2

[young compass]

Arcane S2 end ||besides the soundtracks with lyrics that got a bit silly and the caitvi pointlessness, my only complaint was the viktor/jayce philosophical conflict and how it was displayed. Specifically, that Viktor wouldn’t have been able to account for the idea that his sort of perfection would result in endless soulless solitude. It feels like an inconsistent display of agency from him and a generally non-committal ascribing on the part of the series of his character’s motivation. I realize he was at the end of his stick and had tried the more rational salvation but it felt like his character’s path after the initial failure wasn’t clean nor particularly coherent ||

||It’s a bit rule of cooly||

[white smelt]

He accidentally watched the spy x family movie

[main lion]

Arcane s2 end ||caitvi is literally the reason jinx decided to walk away/end the cycle. Calling it pointless is silly. Jinx realized that vi wanted to just be with cait but jinx herself was preventing that.

Also, that wasnt just viktor. The more consciousnesses he like, “absorbed”, the more extreme his ideals and methodology became. Thats why when those consciousnesses were torn away for a moment by ekko, jayce was able to get through to him||

[main lion]

Wdym more? One piece is the only good one and its hardly about pirates

[primal mason]

i just confused spy with hitman ok

I did watch the whole thing.

[bold yew]

tbf i cantr think of another pirate show at all , good or bad lol

[mild seal]

all I can think of is black sails

[bold yew]

ah right

[peak pilot]

Jake and the Neverland pirates

[bold yew]

from movies ig pirates of the carribean

[bold yew]

lmao

[main lion]

"show"

but ye for some reason, despite the crazy popularity of pirates, it doesn't have much popular media

theres one good pirate videogame

black sails the only show

pirates of the caribbean the only movie

[mild seal]

yakuza pirate!

[main lion]

etc

[mild seal]

I liked hook

technically a pirate movie

[modern lichen]

I often forget Spielberg directed Hook

[modern lichen]

Our Flag Means Death is a good show too

[white smelt]

I wanna strike that from the record. It’s actually a bad show.

[dim hedge]

Never really thought about how little pirate media there is

Feels like theres way more but yeah theres like 2 shows a movie franchise that stopped being good after 3 and black flag

[mild seal]

its a conspiracy by the east india trading company!

[dim hedge]

I guess theres just a ton of pirate/pirate themed side characters in things without then being the main focus

[mild seal]

but in reality I'm sure its expensive to build out a set for ships and stuff

[dim hedge]

Yeah true

[bold yew]

its just that vikings are cooler

[dim hedge]

They are cool, but i prefer the pirate vibes

Its the ships, ships are cool settings and the outfit and weapons as well

arcane S2 end || I interpreted the victor thing as him losing himself when jayce "killed" him. From the on every line that sounds remotely like old victor I think is a manipulation attempt by what's controlling them. I think this was the only way to save his life, by completely losing his mind to the arcane. Then at the end he escapes that mind prison and we get old victor back. ||

[bold yew]

ig there is more to write about vikings cause they had like different gods and mythology in general , traditions beliefes etc while pirates dont have that

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I dont like the idea of "something controlling them". Nothing is controlling them, but the combinations of thoughts and personalities that viktor had absorbed kinda fused with his own. With his own personality being the most prominent one, but still being influenced by the other ones||

[spiral relic]

Wait what

[obsidian basalt]

arcane S2 end || for jayce nothing was controlling him, yeah. but for viktor it seems way too extreme to not be another being, idk Im clueless on LoL lore, like everything from the design to the way he acts to the words he says screams not actually Viktor to me ||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||its not another being, its what I said. Viktor's personality was warped by a combination of his own desire for perfection, and the amalgamation of personalities fused with his own. There was no higher being involved. ||

[last perch]

Arcane s2 ending || Viktor has a philosophy change by the time, he went extreme measures at the end||

Arcane s2 ending+lol lore ||Viktor rejected his humanity in the lore to become a cyber/robot, his philosophy was that he needed to get rid of human empathy, and emotions in order to help humans, thanks to Jayce for trying to kill him off before he transformed. Jayce feel like the bad guy in the lore, in Arcane his actions are justified somehow, but everyone forget that he genocided skarner race, and killed a kid (theoretically that kid from S1 might be amumu in future)||

[spiral relic]

cracks my suspension of disbelief a tad

arcane s2 end
||I disagree with two things on that first thing i guess. what I meant by pointlessness was more on how much was shown, the moments being ridiculous and purely fanservice to me, which is like fine in a vacuum but stupid to watch lmao. i also could not care LESS at that sex scene, it didn't feel like catharsis at all as their relationship from the beginning was less a thematic thing and more a lust one. the second thing i felt worsened the moment was that vi didn't think jinx wasn't going to kill herself there despite direct reference and the fact that she hadn't eaten at all, like what else would she be doing after everyone else she held dear had died? ||

||on the viktor stuff, I was thinking about it more and it's all basically just a giant mindfuck I think lmao. Like, one could say the ancient voice viktor kept referencing that was pushing him more radical was actually just viktor from a different timeline trying to force viktor down this as the only way to stop the whole process was for jayce to be there at the right time. it was also different timeline viktor who saved jayce as a kid and shit. I have no complaints anymore lol||

@spiral relic @last perch just don't talk about that stuff here please

it's not the place

[spiral relic]

alright

[young compass]

inevitably would create discourse

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||Im glad you at least like the viktor stuff now. I don't have an issue with vi not realizing what powder meant personally, tbh. My irl friend didn't realize either And my friend isn't dumb or anything. But ye idk, I didn't mind. I've liked their relationship since s1||

[modern lichen]

arcane series ending ||what the||

[jolly heath]

[obsidian basalt]

[white smelt]

Think I’ll start arcane tonight

[main lion]

yippee

[tidal tendon]

The funniest discourse to come out of the series

[young compass]

arcane s2 end|| i give your friend more leeway on this than jinx's sister, who definitely should have realized from her thinly veiled wording, idk. ||

[white smelt]

Arcane s2 ||you should watch the Chinese cut of it, apparently they edit out literally anything remotely gay ||

[main lion]

arcane s2 end ||I feel like the audience would actually be able to infer it more than the characters. The nature of that wording meaning what it does primarily comes from dialogue prior. In that context, ending the cycle could even just mean doing something as drastic as she did at the end of season 1. Or walking away as she worded it, literally. I don't think Vi knew she was going to kill herself, and I don't think its some major flaw in the moment for her not to realize that.

I can understand why people can think the sex scene is, in it's placement, jarring though. I didn't mind it personally however. ||

[unkempt agate]

I just saw that lmao

[sage remnant]

Loving what Sanderson is doing with the characters in RoW but man this is probably the worst Stormlight book in terms of the plotting

RoW Interlude 6 || its finally getting interesting with Taravangian's part. ||

[raw gate]

Arcane end || S2 Ep. 8 gotta be the worst episode in the series ||

[spiral relic]

Arcane S2 Finale || So first, jinx thing, no direct confirmation of her being alive but hints of her being alive.. but for what? then vander who kept being more and more human but for some reason he is the only doll to get out of his stupor after being turned and after viktor going woosh with his soulmate. Nobody gonna explain that? Next orianna's quest lines, reverck tried really hard to defy death and for that he did countless shit like vander and viktor, now that orianna is back into game there ought to be more to that "curing death" thing he had going because while orianna is special in being all robot like reverck's stuff were almost always biological before and that doesn't track with resurrecting as a robot, unless you want to be willfully blind. Next, Ambessa is left in such vague state we can't even be sure if she is dead even though she likely is, leaving us wondering what mel will do now with thorn shit, this is why rating bumped up to 5 because this plot line can get taken cared of now. There are others I am probably forgetting|| @shadow sequoia

[sage remnant]

RoW Interlude 6 + Prediction || Calling it, Taravangian is going to kill Rayse and become the vessel. ||
