So I posted this on the Arcane subreddit and one of the comments actually revealed the leak (not the clip but described what happened).

The post got deleted by the mods for not following rule 2 (relevancy) so worries stumping upon it there.

ARCANE SEASON 2 // MINOR SPOILERS

I have a habit of stumbling onto things without meaning to. It’s both a blessing and a cruse.

The first time it was when the first half of the series was leaked a few months ago, and it was a screenshot of the first episode of season two (where Caitlyn and Vi are in the hallway after the funeral). This time it was an unfinished animated scene. Both on Twitter.

Of course I’m not going to reveal what that scene was, but I can’t wait for the fandom’s reaction on this Saturday!

The Dead Boy Detectives and their board games:

In an interview with IndieWire it was mentioned that they had “every international version of Clue” and I had to take a closer look. Not only is it not exactly “international” versions, (considering that both Charles and Edwin are British, their national one would be Cluedo, so Clue does work as international in that sense), but the board games you see in the background are all vintage and from different decades!

I did not cover all the Clues, although they do have at least 8 of them in that closet. But their assortment of board games is quite interesting!

please tell me I’m not the only one with a cluesona

Personally, I think it was a disservice that Caitlyn, apparently, stayed an enforcer. Her arc would be much more interesting if, after seeing the damage that she (or, more realistically, Ambessa) did in Zaun, she'd just give up the uniform and followed into her mother's steps, coming up with ways to improve the living conditions of Zaun, thus honoring her mother's legacy, and making up for her mistakes. "Oh, but she stayed a cop to change things from the inside", that is bullshit. Cops exist to maintain, by force, the status-quo and that's never gonna change.

The Days’ Doings, England, September 14, 1872

Not going to lie, I was really enthusiastic about the idea of an antagonist figure Caitlyn. Arcane could've woven a phenomenal narrative about how easily people of privilege, even the ones who try to be empathetic to an oppressed class, can be swayed into genocidal fervor with ease when their comfort is disrupted.

To some extent they did, but I wish Arcane committed to the bit and pursued a villain!Caitlyn. Plus I'm a sucker for lovers to enemies and would love to see Vi having to choose between Caitlyn and Zaun. I think they were headed in the direction of a villain arc for Cait but ultimately chickened out on it.

Also, I feel the familial relationship Ambessa and Caitlyn had was such wasted potential. Ambessa and Caitlyn were perfect for each other in a familial way. Ambessa was a bitter mother who was estranged from her daughter, leaving her essentially daughterless in her eyes. And Caitlyn was just made motherless.

The two could've had such well written toxic synergy. It would've been a Greek tragedy having Caitlyn slowly corrupted by Ambessa's influence to the point that when she reunited with Vi, she was barely recognizable. I can't say I'm fond of Caitlyn betraying Ambessa. Ambessa's character definitely stagnated once Caitlyn was out of the mix.

I think right now in the age of radicalization, Caitlyn could have been a very scary and effective cautionary tale about how easily fascist thought can win. That scene with Ambessa recruiting Caitlyn felt so ominous and foreboding, like the birth of a monster. The first act had such a good set up, but ultimately nothing came out of it in my opinion.

Anyways, this is just my opinion and I would love to know if anyone else shared similar thoughts regarding Caitlyn's character arc. Who else wanted a legit Caitlyn corruption arc?

EDIT: I do like the idea of her falling into fascism, but then changing her mind to support the Zaunite resistance. That could send a valuable message that it is not too late to turn back from evil ideologies to any people who've been radicalized.

I wish I understood how special interests work because what the fuck do you mean we're thinking about Cluedo all month
