It surprises me there's no thread for this show and the game it's based on. The final episodes dropped today!

I was thinking about making a thread for Arcane earlier after finishing Act 3 kek.

>What did you think of Season 2?

Downgrade from the first season for sure, took on way too many subplots and would've benefited from having another season. Still watched everything though. The Jayvik scene in the last episode was gay as fuck which made my fujo heart very happy.

>Favorite character?

Viktor and Jinx

>Any storyline/plot you liked? One you hated?

I liked where they were going with dictator Caitlyn at first but they didn't let it simmer long enough so the 180 she did within three episodes was very jarring, could've been really good if executed better. The Ambessa/Mel stuff was a snoozefest to me, I think it just wasted a bunch of time that could've went to the other characters.

>Any champion you want to see next in the series?

ShenZed Ionia series for more food.

>Favorite ship?

JayVik of course.

>Are you excited for the future projects Riot has for this series?

If they don't fumble as badly as they did with season 2, yes. Heard they have a live action in the works though so I'm not looking forward to that since Fortiche's animation blows everything out of the water.

i am fucking SICK AND TIRED of westoid shit media and their fake gay agenda
it only the female characters who get any fucking gay action
i have been shipping these two since DAY ONE
nothing can quantify how much steamy gay sex they have had inside my head
i hoped that in season two i would see more of those two together
and then i saw the pink and blue haired dykes kissing each other
fuck it, i was glad bc at least gay wasnt off the table
there was still a chance
there was even a dyke prison sex scene
so netflix was really going all out on the gay here
a little man kiss would be nothing in comparison
just 2 hot hunks going 'im not gay, but…' on each other
one looks like a moody incel and the other like a popular jock
fucking presses every button theres to press on my brain
surely that couldnt be fucking hard to write in
but of couRSE FUCKING NOT!!!!!
ALL THAT BULLSHIT WAS JUST TO PANDER TO FUCKING YURIFAGGOTS
viktor was literally traveling across time and space multiple times just to meet jayce
he even gave a monologue on why jayce is the only one for him
i am not even exagerating here, that shit literally happened on screen
viktor even replaced his imaginary gf with jayce
SO WHY ARENT THEY FUCKING KISSING
KISS
JUST FUCKING KISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
SOMEONE FUCKING RESTRAIN ME OR I SWEAR ILL FUCKING DO IT
ILL FUCKING MURDER EVERY YURIFAG IN THE WORLD
IM DONE WITH YAOI BEING CONSIDERED 2ND CLASS CONTENT
FUJOS RISE UP(calm down.)

honestly personally I found the caitvi pandering kind of tasteless, if not pretty shallow desu it makes me appreciate the absolute kino of jayvik a bit more even if not actually canon lovers.

I get you anon, I really do. But what we should take in consideration here is that Caitvi, as fucking boring it is, is a really, really old ship. Well, just like Jayvik but here's the kicker: it's lesbian. And everyone knows that lesbian ships are the safe gay because it can be very easily censored and men just love to watch two women going at it. I would be happy for the shippers if these two weren't so fucking boring, and if the shippers weren't so mentally ill that they shit their pants over anyone saying Jayvik had a better and more intimate scene than that forced music clip sex Caitvi had. And that ape they call producer going "hur uurh uuh why can't male be friends" really got on my nerves. But at the same time, i'm glad Jayvik is so big and popular. It deserves it. It's SO beautifully written, and as i'm writing this now i'm listening to their soundtrack (I Promissed You).
I hope that, in the future if when we see Viktor again, Jayce is with him. It's funny how it would make no sense canonically if he were to be alone. These two are connected in so many ways, their love is beautiful.

 No.1143

>>1133
>(calm down.)
Sorry, I wrote that right after I finished watching the last episode. Don't worry, I normal again.

>>1131
>What did you think of Season 2?
It escalated too much. Remember when Arcane was about family drama and some political instability? Now it has a multiverse, time powers, and grand fights for the fate of the world.
>Favorite character?
I'd like to give a special mention to the fish enforcer. I'm sure that's someone's OC, judging by how much he appears in full focus despite having no lines or plot relevance.
>Any storyline/plot you liked? One you hated?
I liked the AU where everything is fine and people are happy (except for Vi who's dead). After this huge Marvelesque season 2, I'd appreciate a comfy SoL season 3 set on that AU, where nothing bad happens and people just chill and nobody has a mental breakdown on every ep. I have faith that even without hex-tech Viktor and Jayce will still be gay for each other.
>Any champion you want to see next in the series?
I had to pull up a list of LoL champions because I honestly know nothing about the game, and I think I stumbled on a spoiler for S3:
https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/Orianna
<Once a curious girl of flesh and blood, Orianna is now a technological marvel comprised entirely of clockwork. She became gravely ill after an accident in the lower districts of Zaun, and her failing body had to be replaced with exquisite artifice, piece by piece. Accompanied by an extraordinary brass sphere she built for companionship and protection, Orianna is now free to explore the wonders of Piltover, and beyond.
I'll go ahead and bet that this will be the daughter the doctor was trying to save. Now that Jayce didn't kill Viktor, he will help the doctor resurrect her into one of those mechanical ninja bodies he made. The brass sphere might be the doctor himself, I dunno, maybe bringing her back will cost him his soul or something, and they will exist together in a mindspace like Viktor and Ms. Young, and the sickos watching it will ship the fuck out of that incestuous relationship like they did with Jynx and Silko.
>Favorite ship?
Ahem: >>1133
>Are you excited for the future projects Riot has for this series?
Not really, to be honest… After S2, it looks like this is going to be one of those series that keeps upping the stakes ad absurdum. That's why I suggested a more relaxed S3, but I doubt such a radical change would sit well with fans - at best it would be considered a spin-off.

>>1134
Agreed. Now that I calmed down, I think JayVik is much finer romance than CaitVi. At least romance without sex in canon can be fixed by fic writers. Sex without romance cannot because I wouldn't even look for fics in the first place.

>>1142
>And that ape they call producer going "hur uurh uuh why can't male be friends" really got on my nerves.
God dammit, that always pisses me off to no end because it's only said against yaoi headcanons. It's okay to make up hetero ships, it's okay to even make up lesbian ships, but the moment you steal your brother's action figures to make them kiss it's always "wHy CAn'T MALes JuST bE FrIenDs". Ugh.
>It's funny how it would make no sense canonically if he were to be alone.
Yes, that's the best part. They locked themselves into always writing them together because the laws of the multiverse say that's how it has to be.

 No.1145

>>1142
Why is this so common anyway? If people don't care about gay why do they always give the gay relationships so much fucking depth, drama and proper development?
I swear read manga that are the same. The almost-but-not-really canon gay couple is so fucking developed they acted like married couple with all the domestic shit it involves but then got a drama development arc regardless that eventually turned their love into a romance transcending everything material. It was partly painful and the end is bittersweet but goddamn this is how you do romances.
Meanwhile the canon het pairings in the same series are reduced to "we are engaged" and "waifu blushes". That's it. There is nothing else, not even hugging, let alone any syncing or emotional bond outside of "we're together because I have a penis and she has a vagina". No lead up either, the girls loved the dudes the moment they met them. Wow how interesting.

I don't get it. It sometimes make me wonder if a lot of people writing shit like this are closet homos or bi and project their deepest longings and dreams onto this ships because "not gay" and then deny them anyway if you ask them.

It's either accidental or just straight up censorship. What's funny is when they have everything to make it canon yet they don't go for it because the male side of the fanbase would flip their ship and some chinaman wouldn't give them money anymore.

i think there's still a lot of more of normal jayvik fanfics, the problem is that some writers think tagging his a cis is helping those who headcanon him as a tranny. Which is retarded; if you see a fanfic without 'trans viktor' as a tag you already know he's cis. no need to tag it. ai ai ai

A lot of people don't tag their trans fic, though.

Wasn't originally into it, but this fic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35789221) redpilled me on Jayce/Viktor. So good gawddddd. Also season 2 really solidified their relationship.

>What did you think of Season 2?

Similar to general opinion, too convoluted and tried to bring too much in. Had some good moments. Felt like many of the deaths were unnecessary/just for drama.

>Favorite character?

I have a love/hate relationship with Jinx and I really liked Isha and Hemindinger. The character writing is very good in Arcane so I pretty much like every main character.

>Any storyline/plot you liked? One you hated?

Controversially (at least on here) I enjoyed Cat/Vi a lot (still better in first season) and Powder/Ekko. Really liked the Zaun v Piltover stuff from the first season and sad only a little transferred over, even if those were some of the better parts of season 2.

He probably intended to mean that Viktor doesn't care for romantic or sexual relations at all so he's technically be "aroace" instead but it's still dumb kek.

Totally is. Sounds like Harry Potter's author (always forget the name) making those "btw. she was black and he was gay" tweets ten years after finishing the series.
That aside those tweets sound very retarded I don't even get what he's trying to say in some of them (or aren't online enough for it). Also I doubt that the Arcane audience (aka that of the show) is "mostly dudes".

The realization that Arcane is actually over finally kicked in for me. Now I'm depressed thinking about the fact Jayce and Viktor are probably never gonna show up together again.

 No.1177

>>1174
i know Linke should not be trusted but he said Viktor would appear again. We're either getting only Viktor back or both. Maybe Jayce is the new voice inside his head like Sky was. Who knows, we won't find out until 5-6 years from now

 No.1178

>>1177
Yeah, I saw that; only Viktor being mentioned had me thinking. Jayce is a champ so relegating him to schizo voice status seems unlikely but who knows. If they even have anything planned for him it just makes me think they're gonna make Jayvik go separate paths off-screen after their homosexual cosmic merging.

 No.1180

>>1178

not if the fujobucks speak louder. Jayvik is really popular now. If they go for that then I think they would spend the whole show trying to find each other because they're gay like that

I'm really liking the trend of kemono art of them for some reason.

>>1180
My guess is they'll make Viktor some sort of nomadic sage while Jayce stays in Piltover working on hextech. Only really expect Viktor and Jinx to be brought over to later series, other PnZ characters might be too overkill.

>I think they would spend the whole show trying to find each other because they're gay like that

Linke mentioned individual stories in spin offs so I hope they get something from that.
