The really tragic thing is that at no point do either Jinx or Vi repudiate each other, either. Jinx basically says "this is who I'm going to be." She does not renounce Vi, at all, she just says she can't be her idealized kid sister Powder anymore, and that when push comes to shove, she chooses violence against her oppressors rather than trusting to reconciliation. It'll be an interesting question to what degree that will influence their relationship or the resolution thereof. As for Viktor and Jayce, I can see them having a falling out, but it doesn't feel right, right now. I kinda suspect they'll be going with a closer relationship between them than in League-canon proper. Jetrauben fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Dec 1, 2021 |

I imagine Jinx's attack is gonna make Jayce change his mind about handling Zaun peacefully, and Viktor isn't gonna go for that.

Ella and Hailee both put in truly knockout performances throughout the latter 2/3rds of the season. For my money, my favorite bit of voice acting is still Vi telling Cait her story about the monsters. Vi's essential characterization never breaks - there's no quavering or stuttering or anguished sobs - but Hailee finds a way to make each sentence sound even more deeply painful and raw than the last. Putting in a moment of sheer vulnerability like that is a drat hard act to pull off for a character that's as full of blood and fury as Vi usually is, but it's a completely effortless transition.

Well, that and Victor's possibly gonna suck up the energy / dead councillors like a vampire sponge, which could lead to problems. Vi and Cait aren't gonna see eye to eye either, not after Jinx killed Cait's mother (deliberately?)

The Shortest Path posted:This scene or any of the others with Vi and Cait interacting, or any of the solo Jinx scenes where she's talking to herself, are great examples of it. The mental calculation is amazing. -This whole situation sucks. I want my sister back. -What's that? -Wait. I told her to pick. And she picks... -Well don't that beat all. -Wait. I think she's hot and if she's into... oh. Oh. My. What makes it amazing is the script direction was just something like "Vi sees Cait, raises eyebrow, intrigued."

Open Source Idiom posted:Vi and Cait aren't gonna see eye to eye either, not after Jinx killed Cait's mother (deliberately?) I don't think it was deliberate in the sense of Mrs. Kiramman being specifically targeted. Jinx's essential problem with Caitlyn all the time before was that she was worried about her "stealing" Vi forever, but their final bit of interaction makes it clear that Jinx has accepted that both her and her sister have become different people with different convictions; she has no more reason to hate Caitlyn (beyond the obvious element of "she's an Enforcer"), because the version of her sister she was worried about leaving is already gone forever. Having Silco's words echo at the end helps to emphasize she's firing the rocket as a matter of her political convictions, and not as a way to torment Caitlyn further. I mentioned it before, but I think their fundamental disagreement - and the next obvious point of growth in their relationship - is Caitlyn having to come to terms with the fact that mercy and kindness have their prices to pay, and Vi trying to shoulder the blame for having told Cait not to fire. Caitlyn has room to grow in learning to deal with personal tragedy and taking responsibility for her choices, and Vi has room to grow in dropping her martyr complex and learning to give the people she loves genuine agency instead of trying to "protect" them from themselves.

The score's for each act are really good. Anyone with even a passing interest in film scores who enjoyed the show will probably also enjoy the music too. I'm not sure how else to describe the experience, but it's always fascinating for me listening to recognizable cues without the visual context. teagone fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Dec 1, 2021 |

Let's start a new challenge in 2022 where Dota fans just shut the gently caress up about Dota in any context that involves League of Legends. Won't make it halfway through the first week of January but at least those few days would be nice. Hideo Kojima posted about Arcane and how much he loved it and the first comment I see is some loving Valve can do no wrong fanboy just crying about "why did you give the LoL show a chance you should watch Dota's show" lmao

But actually on topic: Shows good. But it has one major flaw in the fact giving an entire well written show to a handful of this universe characters suddenly turns every other character a million times shallower by just raw comparison. I hope they make more shows set around the LoL world. I need my Fiddlesticks horror movie. edit: Man, it's actually really weird, in a good way, hearing people talk about these characters on a whole different level compared to all the years of knowing them as just slightly more than a pile of stats abilities and aesthetics.

Let's just say DOTA's show didn't work out. It's kind of the inverse of Arcane with very shallow characters and I'm not sure if I missed the explanations going on or they just assumed I knew more about the franchise than I did.

As a disabled crazy person into fringe radical politics, I enthusiastically enjoyed the depictions of every single Zaunite character because they were almost completely and irrefutably correct. Bless.

The real question is if Vander was a good dad. On the plus side he gave his kids free drinks, but on the other hand he let the smallest one build nail bombs. On the other, other hand those nail bombs were to be used against cops, so I guess it's all good afterall. My conclusion: Vander was good dad.
