potentially controversial personal opinion I think arcane s2 would be getting a lot more flack if it wasn't for all the shipping fodder and shiny objects packed in there. convinced you could spoon-feed toddler upchuck to half of the population as long as you go Brrrr here comes the yaoi airplane

#Like season 2 is just Not good #after the hype died down I realized this #character assassination Concepts that desperately needed fleshing out Important developments being glossed over etc #it's a gorgeous show and the writing isn't egregious especially compared to a lot of what's out there but comparing it to season 1 #is like putting a bichon frise next to a Timber wolf writing-wise #nothing in s2 felt as visceral as it did in s1 #I don't feel any desire to rewatch it at all meanwhile you could ask me at any point if I wanted to watch s1 again and I'd be like Fuck yes #even if I'd just seen it again 5 days before #if you don't give a fuck about shipping s2 feels like a drag at a lot of points #nothing will make me fume more than the fact Vi's lesbian crash-out pitfighting emo phase was contained to a single music video #I WANTED TO SEE THAT SHIT! show us her at her lowest!! make us stew in it and feel it with her!!#don't just give us 2 minutes of her kicking ass with occasional emo shit in between #Viktor and Jayce have an interesting story though I will say that. The arcane shit was really cool #but that's it. it was cool. I felt nothing. the height of my emotional experience was just That's cool.#meanwhile in 2021 I was on the verge of bawling my eyes out at multiple points getting goosebumps #feeling genuine dread/having my heart race #it was exhilarating #Rant over. no hate if you like s2 of jayvik I'm very aware that this is just my experience and that a lot of people adore s2 #and I already didn't really care about Viktor or Jayce in season 1. I was more interested in the undercity n stuff #And war arcs are not my favorite they've been done So many times. so there's that too
