Thoughts on the Arcane Season 2 ending under the cut

Is anyone else kinda annoyed at how most of the arcane character arcs were either left open-ended, or with the character straight up dead without even a chance to have the rest of the characters react to it? Like... I know the series is going to be continuing in other regions, but I feel like the end of the Piltover/Zaun arc should've had even a small sense of closure for anyone aside from Singed. Maybe I'm just difficult to please and I really wish I could praise the ending as much as some of y'all (I still love the show, I promise), but it didn't feel like an ending to anything despite it being the "end" of Arcane. Not even with Jinx/Vi's story, which is what they specifically described this to be the end of. It kinda just felt like things happened and the credits rolled without any chance to even say goodbye.

Idk, I think I'm just tired of folks dismissing my frustration with a "but there's going to be more". I know there's going to be more, but if you describe something as the end of an arc, it should feel like an end, right? Like... Something should end? (Narratively or thematically, I mean. Not just the lives of half your cast). But so much has been left up in the air that I just kinda feel like I've been stopped mid-jump and want to put at least 1 foot back on the ground. I don't need everything explained in a neat little bow, but at least address the personal effects killing your character's had on the ones still alive. Burning a paper doesn't really do much for that, cool as it looks.

(and don't even get me started on how they handled The Arcane Gerald)
