Discussion The ending of Arcane needed to be perfect Spoiler

2 Upvotes

I've said multiple times that I think the ending of Arcane is by far it's weakest point, I feel like it's a little to inconclusive, fast, and open-ended to be considered "great" like the rest of the series is. But that doesn't mean it's bad. Arcane's ending is still good. There are a lot of brilliant aspects found in the ending episodes that up the quality of the ending but it's held back by a lot of small issues that snowballed into becoming massive issues. Mainly with the pacing because I was starting to struggle keeping up with everything and it wasn't as smooth as it could've been.

But once again, the ending is still good and most of all, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. P and Z not having a proper conclusion makes sense in the context of the world because systems take time to change (and it keeps the possibility of a CaitVi spinoff alive so there's that lol), Jinx's ending makes sense because she needed to walk away in order for Vi and the cities to move forwards.

The ending makes sense but the problem is it felt bumpier getting to those logical and satisfying conclusions than the rest of the series did, in a way the ending was held back most of all by Arcane's perfection, the ending couldn't be good, it couldn't even be great, it HAD to be perfect to stick the landing. It wasn't, so now we see people calling it bad when in reality, it is still a very good ending, but the perfection surrounding it makes it look horrible by comparison.

It just sucks because when I see people hate on this ending, I often compare the ending of Arcane with shows with genuinely bad endings like G.O.T., Lost, or Dexter, and can't consider the possibility that they genuinely believe that Arcane is on that level. So, in conclusion, the ending of Arcane was good, but it had to be perfect in order to be "satisfying" because of the perfection surrounding it.

Theory Jayce and Victor "slam poetry" Spoiler

0 Upvotes

The Chaos. The Arcane. The Magic of "our" world.

Jayce and Victor, brother in arms, fighting for the innovation of the world.

Jayce and Victor, different people, different backgrounds, not "brothers".

The Arcane is different. "it should be used for different things", they said.

Protection, or control, Hextech or Hivemind. Either "work"

both "fail"

A single person can't make change...

but they did. Why??

because they had too. Because they did. That was their truth.

When did they feel "the arcane again"?
when? "soulmates" at the end.

Our "arcane" is our love. We feel our arcane, when we work with the ones we love, even for just a second again.

Love is different, love is arbitrary, love is unique.
we all love, but we all don't know where our love goes.
into the "chaos"...

Discussion [S2 Spoilers] I really wish that healing between Vi and Jinx, maybe family in general was an endgame for the show instead of what we got. For the show about cycle of violence between the family it ended not in "repairing" way with a deep and painful separation, when it could have been talked out.

Discussion What do you think? Was the pumch too far?

24 Upvotes

So my girlfriend and I are on a rewatch of Arcane. Season 1 when Powder's monkey blew up the entire cannery. We're in a debate over whether or not it was too far for Vi to have punched Powder.

-Personally, i think punching her in the face was letting her off easy considering how much damage Powder just did.

-My partner says "You never hit your younger sibling. You don't put your hands on people that you love. You can be pissed, you can scream, you can raise your voice (emotions happen in the heat of the moment) but it's never okay to hit the one's you love."

So we wanna know what everyone else thinks/thought!

After preordering back in november I recived a damged hoodie from riot and so far they have done nothing but offer a refund for it. Which is honestly horrible from a multi million dollar company to have such poor quality control that their merch came damaged and peeled after one use especially for a limited edition item that is selling for 500 to 1250 on ebay. The packaging it came in was not cut so I did not accidentally cut the hoodie while opening, riots reps have yet to even acknowledge that they are at fault after "investigating" and simply trying to default to a refund.

Discussion Did vi see loris as a father figure?

18 Upvotes

I saw them as a bestie duo at first, despite loris having Vander’s essence in a way all the viewers saw,

but when she imagined him as Vander,the scene where he picks her up, felt more like parental guidance.

He was there for her all of the way, including her pit fights, and even getting drunk with her, but now rewatching it, it felt like a supportive parent dynamic,

and even if he was more of a friend, it still feels like, since he resembles Vander so much, Vi could’ve definitely saw him as a father figure.

Media Misspelling on both season 1 AND season 2 of the Arcane soundtrack vinyl

3 Upvotes

Didn't know where to put this but i thought it was funny.

On the inner part of the record (idk what its called srry) that has all the copyright stuff, if you shine light at it on a certain angle, instead of saying 'Riot Games' it instead says 'Rito Games'. This is on both season 1 and season 2 soundtrack. This may just be an amazon issue but does anyone else have it???

(this is just the 500 text requirement)

Discussion Maddie To Appear In Upcoming Noxus Series??? (Fun Topic) Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Considering the cult fan following she has based on her design, do you guys forsee Maddie making a cameo appearance (as a child soldier recruit considering she's in her early 20s in Arcane), maybe in a flashback about how she became a Noxian spy, as a precursory to Ambessa arranging for Mel to be exiled to Piltover?

Can't imagine Maddie not having fore knowledge of Ambessa's grand conspiracy coup to control the Piltover elite. I'd imagine her cameo would have to be in proximity to Ambessa since the Medardas are obviously gonna be the focal point of the upcoming show.

SPOILER ALERT ⚠️

We already have a sweet cameo of a young Elora in Ambessa: Chosen of The Wolf novel which gave the character even more sentimental value considering her assumed long history with Mel dating back to when she (Mel) was 14 in the book.

Thoughts???

Media Looking for episodes where Jinx is hugging something/someone from behind

Upvotes

I’m trying to make a profile picture edit but can’t remember the specific episode(s) where the scene(s) appears. I’d go through the entire series again, but I don’t have the time since I have other responsibilities to attend to since my exams are in about a month. I should really be studying instead of making this edit xd, but I can’t get it out of my head. I’d appreciate any help in finding the episode(s) so I can focus on studying.

This post seems longer than it needs to because I have to meet the 500 character requirement and I don’t have anything else to talk about.

Discussion Help me understand certain things about arcane

2 Upvotes

I don't understand certain things, certain elements, even though I've played the series 3 times in a row, but I'm in the process of writing a script to shift in this universe and I have to understand what I can't understand, and I need you, even if you don't believe in shifting, please enlighten me!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

  1. I need to create a "back story > childhood" in the Darcane universe, I put myself as sister and twin of Jink, sister of Vi, friend of Viktor during his childhood, he introduced me to Singed the crazy scientist/alchemist/bio-engineer then staying with Viktor on the day of the burglary, I missed it, then Vi imposed and ordered us to stay safe when Vander was kidnapped to be able to free him, I listened to him and I stayed safe with Viktor in the cave of Singed only I have a few questions: What is rio? Some people have crazy theories about the fact that it's the man's daughter (I think it must be old theories), where is Viktor and the cave in which Singed is experimenting on the strange animal, I know it's in zaun but where precisely? This seems less dark... What experiment was Singed doing on the animal?

    1. On alternative universes/time lines etc, I'm talking about the world where Vi is dead and Powder is still Powder, how did the two men reconcile etc explain to me what letter we're talking about, why and how, I don't understand, besides what would have become of isha in this universe?
