NSFW 36 comments fedilink hide all child comments

arcane spends the first season highlighting how brutal and unforgiving the piltover occupation of zaun is its objectively and cartoonishly evil there are almost no redeeming qualties for it but it all shifts when jinx does the piltover equivalent of 9/11 and the messaging shifts from brutal occupation and conflict to the characters not being able to cope with trauma so they now commit facism

jinx and zaun are constantly shunned by the show while caitlyn and piltover are so quick to be forgiven

but in the end its okay because they find a common enemy and obviously the biggest enemy is collectivisim

the show is so hilariously amercian and lib it is not even funny

caitlyn gets to win the girl but jinx gets so guilty that she tries killing herself multiple times and ends up faking her own death and escaping her only family

i am genuinely so fucking pissed

The first season could be watched by someone like me who knew nothing about the game or its universe and it worked great. The second season not so much. There are a lot of things obviously crammed in just because they're in the game and they're not just little easter eggs but important plot points that just come out of nowhere as far as I'm concerned. Still, I'm not too disappointed. The animation is fantastic, I like the voice acting and there are a lot of good individual moments in the show even if it doesn't quite add up to a coherent whole.
