I think people are put off at first with the change of scenery but once you realize that's the format of the show there shouldn't be any issues.

Let's see if I can remember, if I am factually wrong skit anything please correct me as it was some time ago. Also on phone so might autocorrect something I don't notice.

S1.

Expectations: very low.

Seeing the kids grow up, slowly showing you all the points where Vi gets angry and powder gets messed up. Silco seems like a standard violation but gets emotional and instead of just using Jinx for his own gains he's ready to die for her like she's his own child.

They managed to make the vi Cait romance realistic under weird circumstances which was fresh to see. I enjoyed seeing Viktor and Jayce rise and fall in separate directions.

Was not a big fan of the chemtech depiction how you just pumped it into people and they were super soldiers that only Jayce and Vi stood a chance against. Also the vander ww hints didn't excite me really.

S2.

Expectations: sky high

Starts off great, the tension between the uptown people and downtown which messes with Caitlin and Vi. Didn't enjoy ambessa much except for her interactions with the black rose which was pretty cool.

The ww/ambessa/singed union didn't make sense at all to me. She's looking for something to up her army but following a random monster makes little sense to me. Now add Viktor to that mess and all of a sudden Warwick is not just a chemtech junkie gone monster but a necessary ingredient for Viktor to transcend.

Heimer and ekko in time was great tv, normally I'm skeptical about these kinds of side quests but this was amazing.

Jayce in time had its moments all in all pretty cool. 

The endgame is where it all collapsed imo. The city invasion with like 20 soldiers running around in the harbour, ambessa vs Caitlin duel felt unnecessary imo, jinx/vi/vander fight felt forced even though Jinx probably needed to die but the manner was silly.

I get that it's hard to close out when the scope is so big but I was disappointed. 

So I guess it mainly boils down to high expectations and poor execution on certain parts. But as you can read from my review I am a fan and will definitely check out s3.

Cheers!

I think arcane s2 had some great stuff but a lot of it made very little sense or was outright bad imo. This is from someone who's deeply immersed in runeterra (which might be a bad thing in this case)

While it had ups and downs the ups are brilliant, skona with the general mood and how they blend fiction and history.

Your name is a beautiful, mature yet safe, anime. I want to rewatch it right now.

And the entire premise of the movie is completely horrible right? Abusive family or some shit if I recall directly and the scary monster parts are where the girl zones or to differ her step dad? 

Long time since watching but i ain't showing that to my teen who has watched the matrix.

Me and my friends used to make games on hypercard all the time, it was a blast!

One could even say it's quite the obscure game to win awards like this..?

Ah, the good Old Times Roman.

Coming from a deterministic point of view, I still don't think that everyone is innocent. Everyone does the only thing they can do at any given time. 

Acknowledging that some actions are wrong, suboptimal or evil and lifting the fact that a lot of people have the capacity to do good in hard scenarios can create pressure and inspiration for people to grow. Not that we have a choice.

I'm a man of privilege and have had an easy time making solid choices imo, I'm really inspired by people who make great choices from a rougher place and I'm appalled by people of fortune who act heinously even if I believe that they do so because it's what life taught them to do.

Who even makes music videos these days and where are they shown? When i was young mtv was a thing but now i figured people dropped it altogether.
