Slowly you'll rewatch the whole season and figure out it's top 🌝

I doubt I will ever rewatch Arcane season 2.

It's not worth it...the drop in writing quality left me disappointed.

But I would like to rewatch a few scenes for their music and direction tho...

I can't stop rewatching the dance x rooftop scene of Ekko and Jinx in Arcane season 2 episode 7.


As much as I didn't like season 2 and thought it wasn't well written, that scene is perfection

armadeo:
I'm going to see this next year. All over again.

Yes I can.

I've watched Attack on Titan over 30 times in all lol

samistry:

drisham:
Funny how it's your hype that made me watch season 1 of arcane
After the first 2 episodes I became invested

So thanks

Good 👌

I hope you enjoy season 2 even if I didn't enjoy it

In the last scene, he killed his entire unit except his friend.
The reason he killed them was influenced with what happened during the wedding, the team killed off innocent people especially the women with no remorse and even lied to cover it up so that a jet can blow off the remains of the dead bodies.
You can see how his team were jubilating for the war crime they committed.
It was just him and his friend that felt sad for the innocent people and women that were killed.
His team has no human sympathy, they were brutal animals in human form so he thought that killing all of them to escape was a fair game.
They deserved death for what they did during the wedding.

He's not much better than his team.
I don't think he did it for any sense of Justice.
Not when he already killed someone for money and considered going private but couldn't just dessert the army

OhBritannia:
I don't think he necessarily killed good people when he was in the army.
He just went for the bad targets and that's why he is a sniper.

What really changed his mind into leaving and start killing for money was the war crime that his team committed during the wedding and they had no remorse at all..
He killed them off deservedly and left to work privately, atleast in private he won't have to kill bunch of innocent and happy women.

I don't think him killing them was out of revenge at all.
I don't think he even held anything against them.

He didn't like what they did, but it was the job, hard decisions had to be made...and they had to cover it up.

He was already considering going private before the wedding...
Remember he had already done a private job and was paid well...and the only reason he couldn't do more was because he would have to dessert the army...

The wedding just convinced him that if he had to do shîtty things, it's better if he gets paid well at least.

There's also a theory I'm considering...that killing those men was an order...

bolu96:
At the bolded, could you explain why? I've seen it but I'd like your perspective.

He's basically talking about the wedding scene.

He was killing for the army, both bad people and innocent people.

He could as well kill for money

izombie:
Oboy i wonder too o. Just imagine wetin dey interest these mofos. Cartoon! Mind you. they are adults.

Cry me a river

Gidah:
for example Arcane been your top series for the year so far I feel it's just too much hype

The whole Arcane drama is just funny...

The show producers know how to get fans...just give fans good music and animation and they will forget everything else...

Arcane season 2 having higher ratings than Season 1 says a lot about the fanbase

I have one Arcane fan who we always discuss movies/shows...
We both know how to dissect movies and their writing...

I've given him my Arcane season 2 review...
Till now he has not responded to any of the many flaws I presented...

He said he needs months of rewatch before he can respond...

But him dey critique other shows oh...but not his favorite

Point out the flaws in Arcane season 2 and all the fanboys go into hiding...
These same people will dissect other shows...but not their own lol

iamoyindamola:
You will rather watch cartoon nudity to humans

I watched Cheeky a few days ago.

The amount of nudity and hairy pûssy in that movie is hella crazy.

And I haven't even watched that Dandadan episode yet. I just took that image from Twitter.

SHOGUN has been the best show of 2024 so far, slightly edging out THE PENGUIN.

ARCANE is a distant 3rd. The rest doesn't come close to these three.

Shogun is also the best for me

drisham:
Leave reviews watch something

It's the best thing I've ever watched

And I watched it and it was disappointing.

Some of us don't get baited by good music and animation alone

joseph1832:
How is it his fault all the female characters looks fvckable? Especially sociopath Ambessa, she has MILF with muscles written allover her. I bet she fvcked Kino and Mel's father to death.

You're hôrny for huge women like Ambessa?

You like being dominated? Better repent

pu7pl3:
You said "Ambressa" soomany times now I need bress in my mouth 😩😩

Stop being hôrny

NobleStag007:
I knew JJK can't kill Gojo. He's the one that everyone loves.

He's resurrected in the 260- final manga episode

He dead bro...

His body was used by someone else

Arcane season 2........6/10


If I were to divide my score for this season, I would say -

Animation and music - 10/10
Writing - 3/10

One of the strongest point of Arcane season 1 was it's writing, especially it's character writing.
In my opinion, season 2 failed to deliver anywhere near that quality of writing and was plagued with many problems.

I will try to summarize a few issues below and keep things short cos of the bot-

1. Jinx and Isha.
Season 1 ended with Jinx bombing the council and her character having hit the rails. Her actions basically setting back the efforts of peace between Piltover and Zaun.
Then the writers decided to backtrack by introducing Isha. Isha is not a character but a plot device. The entire reason her character was introduced was to revert Jinx.
Yet the show failed to properly develop her relationship with Jinx because everything was moving at break neck pace.

You do not show character relationships through a music montage when Isha is about to die, you develop it through time spent with the characters. It is cheap emotional bait.

2. Vander
What exactly was the point of Vander's return other than to unite two sisters in the quickest cheapest way? All of the exploration on trauma, bonding, mental health in S1.
Instead of slowly building up to a resolution of the conflict between Jinx and VI, the show decided to speedrun things in one minute through the return of Vander as a plot device.
Building up character conflicts for an entire season and introduce a plot device to suddenly resolve it in few minutes.
Vander is back and now everything is fixed between the sisters. They suddenly reconcile.
Off-screen character arcs.


3. Piltover v Zaun (or lack thereof)

Season 1 revolved around small character conflicts tied together by the socio-political and economic issues of Piltover and the Undercity. These issues brought about great antagonists like Silco (the best written antagonist in the show).
The entire season built up this conflict as a central narrative to tie together all the other character narratives. The first season ended with Jinx's actions potentially leading up to a civil war

But the second season completely abandoned the entire plotline and went instead to stopping a humanity ending threat. Nothing mattered anymore once they introduced the world ending plot.
What was the point of Silco then if everything never mattered.
What about Silco's power vacuum? It was touched in the second episode of S2 and abandoned.

4. Mel and the Black Rose

Black Rose was the most stûpid and pointless addition to the story. It served no purpose other than linking to the next spin-off series.
Mel went from one of the best characters to suddenly developing powers that she somehow had the potential to develop?

What exactly is the Black Rose? Why should we care?
What was Mel's deal siding with them, only to play them and save Ambressa, only for Ambressa to die immediately after?

Ambressa also went from my favorite character in the season to a character I didn't recognize anymore

5. Viktor's Jesus arc

This arc had potential but needed to be a separate season, not bundled into few episodes and replacing the central Piltover conflict.
The conclusion to Jayce and Viktor's characters were cheap and uncertain and rushed. Attempting to reap without sowing.

I lost all faith in the writing when Jayce suddenly started talking about them fighting for all of humanity with no buildup to it whatsoever.

6. New side characters
Cait being betrayed by her new lover Maddie lacked any emotional impact because her new lover was barely a character at all. Maddie was simply introduced and then killed off when the plot needed Cait and VI to reconcile.

And the random dude who VI discovers, what is his deal?

7. Worldbuilding and Lore
The season just focused on some random bûllshit that anyone not familiar with the game lore would be lost. What is the Arcane? Yunno, the title of the show?
What is Black Rose and who is the Deceiver?

8. Extras
What was the weird sèx scene between Cait and VI just after Jinx said she alluded that she was intending suicide. VI just pauses and decided to have some fanservice sèx while her sister is pondering suicide?
Great writing

What about Sevika? It seemed like S2 would focus on her but she suddenly disappeared from the plot but somehow was a member of the council at the end.


Overall, season 2 is still a great visual experience but it forgot what made the show reverred in the first place
It replaced a character driven story with a rushed mess covered by stunning animation and music.

It is no wonder episode 7 is considered the best episode of S2 because it was the episode that actually slowed down and focused on character relationships.


I Still recommend season 2 for the visual experience but not for anyone looking for compelling writing or well developed character arcs.

I think the writers had some good ideas but due to the budget, were forced to rush two seasons worth of content in just 9 episodes
