Loved the first season. The second season feels like they leaned too hard in the art direction. I don’t know…only up to episode 4, but still. Not liking it AS much as I did the first season. Too many characters, so many small details. Like, I feel a bit lost at times.
S2 Episode 5 and 6 are my favourite episodes out of Arcane, so it can still become better.
!Back to back gut punches of having Jinx finding a purpose in life (Isha), Vi and Jinx/Powder reunited, both of them finding and caring for Vander, Vi making up with Cait, and then everything going to shit while Isha sacrifices herself. I was bawling my eyes out for 20min after episode 6.!<
Doesn’t quite recapture the feel of the 1st season to me, but still a great watch
I get it. Season 1 has a great focus on the Lanes and the council, while season 2 is cramming too many parallel perspectives into the same number of episodes.
They should be knitting together next week, I’d wager.
1st act, first three episodes: introduce the characters
2nd act, 3-6: set up happenings for introduced characters
3rd act, eps 7,8,9: start bringing it together and conclude everything
Or shorter 1 set-up, 2 confrontation, 3 resolution.
Resolution should be less confusing as set up and start of confrontation. I do take your point, but I liked the way they did it and I’m a huge league lore nerd from like 2011 so I don’t know if that affects it.
Yea I like it so far season one was fantastic. This season seems to be packing to much together to fast though.
Yup, it’s great so far
