im sorry i like the sociopolitical questions in arcane but if that's your main focus in the show then you're gonna have a bad time. it's always been about the characters first. how their relationships and actions affect their actions and relationships. the sociopolitical stuff is fine! it's context and conflict and gives the show a grounded footwork but like. it's pretty obvious that the focus was NEVER going to be that by the time you finish season 1, it's a character focused tragedy.

"it should have been handled better!" idk probably! but i still haven't processed the show and it's been a month. nor have i done a rewatch. i dont think anyone will have a clear perspective until spring. oh it's important! VERY much so! but i worry people are missing the forest for the trees. storytelling is king. anyway.

#arcane #idgaf #“i wanna talk about the politics!”#that's cool i want to talk about the themes and storytelling devices used in conjunction with the highest quality animation i have ever #seen in my entire life #no seriously i cant fucking believe how this show fucking looks #also i do not trust anyone to talk about the politics unless theyre from south america #im dead fucking serious because theyre the only ones who actually understand it because its similar to their lived experiences #or from countries with similar political issues #fuck i dont understand it because im a dumb fucking gringa and need to educate myself #thats not true i trust some peoples opinions on the politics #i need to fucking sleep and die
