Season 2... wasn't great

Okay, these are just some (probably quite unpopular) personal thoughts and feelings, but I've just finished season 2 of Arcane and wow, did the writing fall right off a cliff. What happened???

In season 1, every scene, every line of dialogue, every character arc was fucking PERFECTION. It was unreal. I sat there watching in total awe as the bar was raised on what a TV show could be. I had the chemistry of my brain rearranged. I was a big, big fan... and then season 2 came out.

Where in season 1 every line of dialogue built towards a perfect whole, ep 2.07 was an entire 40 minutes of tv that didn't matter. That episode should have been a three minute montage MAX. A cool montage of life as it could have been in the alternate world(s) would have worked perfectly well to establish both Ekko's maguffin from that episode and Jace's visions of horror (which is all we actually learnt from that episode of 40 entire minutes of my life I'll never get back).

NOt to mention, the whole 'Caitlyn and Vi GAS ATTACK ZORN' plotline was done in a single montage that never had any other consequences so why the hell not. If you can put one character's defining moment in a montage, why not two or three? Side note: their relationship had the potential to be so interesting and instead every terrible thing Caitlyn says and does in the first half of the season is brushed under the carpet because... *checks notes* slay lesbians?

They did so much cool set up with the politics in season 1 and fuck me, was I disappointed in the way all that brilliant work was wasted in season 2. Why bother setting up intricate, inspired political & personal storylines in the first place if everything is going to end with out-of-left-field mage crap and a bunch of episodes that mean nothing even in universe? I'm so tired.

My final thoughts are these:

Maybe Arcane season 2 makes more sense and does more justice to the characters if you've played League of Legends, or researched the lore. Unfortunately, that's no excuse because a TV show should be able to stand on its own two feet. Plus, I thought season 1 went insanely hard without knowing any of the lore so it's obviously possible.

my bad weed trip from 2 years ago that gave me chronic hallucinations

I wasn't see anything else in your eyes when you were looking at me anymore.

I saw the tears in your eyes that you tried to cover. A saw your beauty, your fear, your soft side that you tried to cover too.

I thought i was know you, but you're just a memory anymore. I keep thinking about those meeting when we were at the park and just talking and smiling and laughing and kissing all the time. I was knew its gonna hurt a lot if you walk away. But i wasn't expect that it gonna hurt that much. It seems like i loved you more that i thought my heart feeling you. But thats fine. We ended up. I was scared, i was terrified of the though what if you gonna leave. But this nightmare just came true. I still hope you gonna find the one whos not gonna overwhelme you with these a lot emotions.

POV you read the book of bill and then the 3rd journal and then lost legends and then the great gatsby and rewatched the show twice and are on your third rewatch in the past two months and watched a bajillion animatics and character analysises and actually read fanfic which you never do like ever and you’re starting to feel like you’re running out of content and might need to start drawing more
