My take on #CaitlynKiramman and redemption (and why she doesn't have a Redemption Arc and in fact shouldn't, but not that she's an inherently bad person) in #Arcane
🧵 would it be crazy of me to say that act 1 of S2 should have been S2 in it’s entirety?? like imagine if we got act 1 as 6 episodes total and that would be S2 and within those episodes we would see a lot more character/story depth such as +
I love this scene because it lets you know that sometimes there is no redemption. Both of them have to live with their mistakes. They are both sorry for their crimes but they can´t undo them. This scene is when the cycle of vengeance ends.
I’m still wondering what was the point of making Jinx a “hero” and a “light of hope” for Zaun just for it to lead to absolute nothingness.
If sidelining whole plot lines introduced in the very same season means “new structure” YES, it’s fair to call it rushed and poor paced.
i'll never forgive these writers for sacrificing stages of caitvi's development for jayvik and timebomb just to still have caitvi be endgame, cause now there's just people from every side of the fandom tb how they didn't deserve a happy ending and the other ships were better.
I'm not trying to be mean or condescending for once because I genuinely like Arcane but come on man.
When you have something that works, and works super well might I add, you stick with what you got.
You can't just mix it up suddenly and expect no consequences for doing so.
you're telling me they could barely handle the sociopolitical aspects of piltover & zaun and now they're going for imperialism, colonialism, resistance, spiritualism, discrimination, cultural erasure, authoritarianism, and MORE??? ALL AT ONCE???
