i know everyone already talks extensively about how detailed arcane is, but one of my personal faves is the attention to gun safety, especially like. finger in the trigger well. which is the one aspect of gun safety that really falls through in most media. you do not put your finger in the trigger well until you are ready to pull the trigger. a fundamental that most media fails to showcase. but it's intentional in arcane. like, jinx always has her finger in a trigger well. if she's holding a gun she's got her finger on the trigger. which makes sense!! she's unstable and deeply unsafe and even she doesn't know whether or not she's gonna pull the trigger most of the time. whereas caitlyn, trained for years, is very methodical with her gun. we pretty much always see the moment of intention where she moves her finger into the trigger well because she's ready to shoot. which of course is one of many details that helps showcasing how much more erratic she's gotten in season 2
#I'm not getting screencaps for this post take my word for it#sorry for being annoying about gun safety in media it's just that I've spent my entire life watching movies and tv with my dad#who loudly says “finger in the trigger well!!” every time we watch something and someone is unsafe with that gun#most of the time though it's clearly because of a lack of care from the media#so now I watch arcane like “awww they know the rules of gun safety🥺💖💖💖”#arcane#I'm sure other people have noticed this though cause sometimes a hand and a gun is taking up the entire screen for certain arcane scenes#but I'm the one who cares enough to make a post about it
