arcane makes me feel so insane because tell me why they had vi (a character who’s introduced as a potential revolutionary) convince jayce to go down to the undercity with COPS (who killed her parents btw) to lead a violent resistance against her own people rather than the oppressors upstairs 😭

#arcane is so weird to me because I really like the characters and the design and all the fanworks #and it definitely has great moments #but it is SOOOO odd #why isn’t the main antagonist in this show someone from piltover #why are poor people being framed as evil 😭😭😭#like I can see what it’s trying to do #with the whole cycle of violence thing and ‘moral complexity’#but that only works if we’re punching up not down #zaun appears way worse than piltover #vi literally meets her oppressors and wants them to send cops down there like girl WHAT #the show cannot decide whether this is good or bad either #it’s not even complex it’s just unsure of itself there’s a difference #I haven’t seen s2 but no one should be shocked that its politics are weird #girl it’s been weird THE WHOLE TIME #ANYWAYYYY #arcane critical #ghost speaks
