Boden "Boddy" Black, Jr. - from Clue (2023 edition)

Mr. Boden "Boddy" Black, a businessman and socialite, was one of the richest man in Hue County and the last known surviving member of the influential Black family.

Having inherited his fortune from his father, Black had a lavish and extravagant lifestyle, jumping from one passion project to another, mostly out of utter boredom.

Recently, Mr. Black got into conservatory due his plans of a new luxurious hotel - that he planned to build over the city's beloved public park.

One night, Black invited six of the County's top elites to his historic family home, Tudor Mansion, for a private dinner party. Each one of them as something he needs to further his plans. Needless to say, it was a party that no one will forget.

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.

Go support her guys. She does great art.

trying to describe poirot to my friend at trivia night: "if youve seen a detective who looks like this, thats him"

Professor Archibald Q. Plum

Archibald Quincy Plum is a highly-respected Scottish archaeologist and Oxford don who served as the mentor to Dr. Black during his Oxford years. He is the Professor of Modern Middle Eastern History of the University’s Oriental Institute and specializes in the study of Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures. The Professor is not only known for his academic brilliance, but for his absent-mindedness—with his attention being absorbed by his academic work, Plum has been pretty neglectful of his social life. In some situations, Plum could be unaware or downright oblivious. Well-liked and respected, many of his colleagues and students have stated Plum to be a genial, kind, and hospitable man.
