I need Mari to be pit girl simply because she’s too funny to die, I need her to call shauna a gaywad as long as possible
I knew we would eventually reach a point where masses of people would misinterpret Arcane, but I never imagined it would be this bad.
Yes, I absolutely agree that season 2 was rushed, especially Act 3, and it is undeniable that the series would have benefited from at least one more episode if not an entire act. However, the current discourse about the show is so superficial that it's impossible to have a conversation about anything deeper but a mere synopsis of the characters and story.
So many of you expected this series to hold your hand and dumb everything down so you can understand it. But when it wasn't the case, you all started rioting and calling the characters vague, the plot bad, and the ships underdeveloped.
The amount of people who value spoken text more than the actions of the characters is worrying. And more worrying than that is the amount of those who interpret the said actions so superficially. I can't believe it needs to be explained that it wasn't Vi's death that led to the "good" timeline, but the lack of hextech. The result would have been the same if either of them had died. It wasn't about Vi, but about the child that died because of dangerous technology and that therefore that technology must not be used. The mischaracterization of Vi in general is insane. Call me biased and unfair, but the moment I hear you don't like her I will assume you didn't understand the show.
Also, the whole discourse around Caitvi scene in episode 8 is giving brainsmooth. No, Vi didn't choose Cait over Jinx, quite the opposite. No, Cait didn't plan all of it to fuck Vi. No, Vi didn't do it because she felt forced or because she is a horny animal who doesn't care about her sister. No, them fucking in a cell is not about the class difference, but about the fact that Vi felt an insane rush of emotions after realizing that Cait would let go of her revenge and help Jinx escape, all for her. Yes, I do agree that it would be nice if we got a longer conversation between Vi and Caitlyn and it would feel great to hear Cait apologize, but I'll always value actions over words. Her talking to Jinx, recognizing that she is just as bad as her, and choosing to trust Vi that her sister can change, thus letting Jinx escape will always mean more than any verbal apology and I'll die on that hill.
Also, it was Jinx's decision to let go and walk away. It was not about Vi trying to get to Vander, but about Jinx being tired of everything. Even if that fight didn't happen, the result would be the same: Jinx would leave because she knows that Vi couldn't do that. She knew that the two of them couldn't have a normal life together and that Vi would never give up on her. Jinx didn't "die" because Vi pushed her or failed her, but because she loved her too much. Whether you believe that she is dead or that she escaped, it's her decision either way.
Again, I agree that too much happened too quickly, but stop confusing your stupidity and inability to read between the lines with the quality of the series.
Arcane is flawed but still brilliant.

lesbian (divorced) couple raising their teenage daughter (not their daughter) (she shot one of them) (and drugged the other)
Just wanna point out how if anyone else tried to even attempt what Melissa did to Shauna, Shauna would’ve literally skinned them chin to anus without a second thought. Like Melissa rocked Shauna’s shit with that tree branch, continued to overpower her, and then tried to choke her to death. You can’t tell me that shauna doesn’t have some feeling for her cause she really just let all that slide. We’re talking about bisexual satan, oshauna bin laden, shaudam Hussein, wilderness jigsaw, ect ect
Honestly given the heavy Honkai impact 3rd references in the newest planet I personally think Himeko should stay put nice and safe in the express we do not need a repeat of last time
i beg let's make this cannon it'll be so fucking funny
im shocked that i havent seen shipping of these 2 because the potential😭
edit: ive been strong armed by @softantlers the ship name is vapefork
„Shauna’s character was butchered (haha) this season.“ „She’s cartoonishly evil.“ „Her actions make no sense.“ „No depth“
LOUD AND WRONG PEOPLE !!!
This is all I’ve been seeing on TikTok about season 3 and let’s be honest, TikTok yj fans are the worst but this is plain wrong.
Now, not saying you have to „defend“ Shauna in this season (no one asked u to, babe) but there was still depth to her character in season 3.
I was thrilled to see Shaunas character arc taking a different direction. Season 2 was all tragic and more or less reasonable but this is over now. Shauna is hurt, traumatized and all this hurt turned to anger. She shut herself of from the group but then she still wants power over them, some kind of thing she can be in control of. Because that’s a whole thing for her especially in the adult-timeline. When she gets that little bit of power with Melissa she thrives on it and gets greedy.
When for some reason the other girls don’t really try to stand up to her she lets the power get to her. That’s a classic trope. Starting with something small and getting away with it, to being in charge of the whole group. Not random pretty reasonable timeline.
Grief -> Anger -> Control and Power as an outlet for Anger -> Euphoria ->(Hybris)
That’s where we get the (for me world changing) line about Shauna having fun in the wilderness.
I definitely don’t think this is unreasonable and I strongly dislike people claiming this was bad writing.
