#riot's made arcane their new moneymaker now after lux/ahri/yone/etc skins and if they're not even gonna make it QUALITY

[funnyscienceman]

before arcane act 3 starts and the whole show is finished for good, i just wanna say rn as of act 2 i did not feel Anything when isha was having her little hero sacrifice. or when vi became an enforcer. or even when cait was going through her mom's funeral??? Viktor is (was) one of my favorites and i felt NOTHING when jayce shot him. the show did nothing to establish an emotional hook, nothing to make me invested in or care for what happened to anybody. i'm still not convinced viktor had any free will this whole season so far because that man has been SLEEPWALKING. there is little to no character in his tone, his voice, he's just some fuckin Messiah talking in holier-than-thou tones and it's so stupid. he's not even doing that because he has an ego — at least from what we've been SHOWN — it's because he literally got changed inside and out after merging with the hexcore. no one here is acting like themselves, i see no semblance of season 1 except maybe singed, so why should i care about them?

at first this season was just bizarre. now it's just total dogwater. i'd love for act 3 to somehow redeem all of this and make it make perfect sense, but i have no confidence or faith in the writers. fuck them, and fuck riot too while we're at it.
