The old tale of a detective just investigating a case that ends up into a spiral of conspiracy about ancient bloodthirsty entities.

[COMM OPEN]

So… how was yesterday?

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 got to design and illustrate my very own CLUE board! I worked with my friends at @Hasbro on this super-premium Clue Signature Collection game set with all new artwork and all the print-nerd bells and whistles such as gold foil embosses and spot glosses. New custom patterns, board graphics, card artwork, character art, shield art, and too much else to list. This was a TON of fun to work on, and it’s available now. Should be on BBTS and Amazon and some other online retailers, just google “Clue Signature Collection.” . . . #clue #cluedo #boardgames #gamedesign #thebutlerdidit #hasbro #cluegame (at Hill House) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2nVzzpzmu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
