I think Cait & Vi will be back and they clearly alive and together,but I can not wait for the reveal that Jinx did survive and whenever they decide to do a show in BilgeWater, The pirate area and There will be Jinx going "ah! It's me Your Vile Villainess,The author of your nightmares.....wait...sorry old habits die hard.Cait did figure out Jinx survived,but I don't think she told Vi, I think Jinx would actually have appreciated that,since Jinx leaving was her own way to break the cycle,because let's be honest if Vi knew Jinx was alive, she would go searching for her despite what Jinx told her about deserving to be happy with Cait. Anyhow I am a CaiVi shipper but also a Timebomb shipper can't lie, maybe Ekko will find out Jinx is alive and needs her help. It won't be for awhile, but I know we will see Cait,Vi and Jinx again at some point. I did find it cool Jinx kept her long Young Silco bang,she just dyed it, her new hairstyle looked cool,even though Jinx's braids are iconic.

Still think Embessa is more deserving of hate; a war criminal, colonizer, child-killer, claims she's doing it all to 'protect' her children when her actions and lust for power is what put her children in danger and ultimately her son killed... that's to name a few of the reasons she deserves hate.

I'm woman enough to admit that I was fooled by Maddie. I thought she was just a cute girl with a crush on Caitlyn (like most of us) and the hate she was getting was unwarranted. But I think one of the writers confirmed that she is indeed a Noxian so yeah she was working with Ambessa the whole time which is just-😅
@maaars-lc6ogАй бұрын
Yeah the showrunners have always said (both in the documentary and interviews) that Arcane was always meant to be 2 seasons only and a stepping stone into other shows, so I wasn't surprised. Also according to many League fans, the fandom was actually pleasantly surprised that the show made Piltover/Zaun (which is the least interesting region of the game apparently) and its characters actually great. But there's WAY more popular champions and regions which they are highly anticipating to have shows centered around. Noxus being one of the main so Mel is definitely coming back; what we saw of Ekko's abilities in s2 is apparently also only a fraction of what he can do, so I'm sure he'll be in future shows. And finally Jinx who I think has some important relationships w/ main champions from other regions too. So while I don't think they will all be main characters in future shows, those 3 are the ones I predict that we will *definitely* see again.
@mkraulisАй бұрын
Every time Maddie is talking to Caitlyn, except for discussing when Isha pulled that stunt while wearing the hood and cape, she is trying to get information about people who might hate Noxus, or trying to get Caitlyn to step down as Commander. Ambessa gambled that Caitlyn would be easy to manipulate, but she turned out to be wrong.

NEW League of Legends rating, ESRB Rating: M Blood, Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco and Featuring Characters who had Sex In a Different Medium. I don't believe that Riot would cut down the Caitlyn and Vi sex scene because they didn't want the perspective of their games to change. If you look at other franchises that spand multiple mediums, there is a lot of variety in how they do their own thing. Take the Marvel Cinematic Universe for example. Most of everything has followed the PG-13 trend in terms of how it depicts it's world, but later the studios have been allowing for a lot more leeway. Biggest example? Deadpool and Wolverine being rated R and releasing on Disney +. Not to mention the other other more mature oriented shows that take place in a fairly family friendly MCU universe like Echo and the upcoming Daredevil series. Lesson? Both Arcane and the video video game it's based on can be their own thing and still succeed. Now please put the sex scene back in all it's intended glory so I can weep tears of joy all over again.
@slavabasiqueАй бұрын
I think the original reasoning and some context is missing. Based on what Arcane show runner said: it’s cut due to a convoluted legal issue. Regulators said that Arcane counts as promotion for League of Legends, so changing rating of Arcane would affect League’s ratings too, which would be a huge problem. That’s the point when they got slap on a wrist Same with the news about cutting the final episode duration: it wasn’t Netflix who said that it’s too much, it was Fortiche who said that 1:20 episode is too much to handle
@KalaidaАй бұрын
@@slavabasique Again, none of that makes any sense. The game and the series are two completely different entities. They may be associated with each other, but to change the ratings based on what one does with it's content is just flat out disingenuous. And I think Arcane as a show deserves more credit than being labeled as a "promotional material" for the game.
@slavabasiqueАй бұрын
@@Kalaida It doesn't really make sense, I know, ratings are weird. That's not my opinion tho, that's Linke's words (Arcane showrunner). I agree that it is stupid, but that's what their lawyers told them to do. I work in a similar field and, trust me, that's not the wildest and stupidest thing related to rating boards that I've heard. And of course it is a great show and it is much more then an ad. Exact reasoning is me making an educated guess, but still it is consider a promotion for League. Probably because it is made by Riot directly, and maybe the fact that League has a lot of skins or whatnot related to Arcane -- regulators draw a straight line between then. Even tho I disagree with the logic that Arcane ratings whatever they might be should affect League's one, denying that Arcane is in a fact a promo for League (or Riot games in general) would be also wrong. Even if they're doing it in the best faith, and just want everyone to have cool experience making/watching it -- it still costs 250M bucks that have to come from somewhere.

Maddie was a plant all along!! - Maddie called her "commander" before Ambessa actually named her Commander - Maddie was the first to beat her chest - Pulled from the car-thing during the memorial attack by huge Shimmer suit dude and NOT killed - Maddie was in bed (god that still makes me sick) trying to get Cait to see Ambessa is trying to “protect them” - Maddie was eaves dropping at the door when Cate & Vi had their argument about Powder - Maddie was carrying the bomb…and also sabotaged it - Maddie showed ZERO remorse or hesitation in pulling the trigger Then there is what Ambessa told Vi in Episode 6...."your absence provided a vacuum I was able to fill." She could have been meaning herself...but it is 100% confirmed now that she meant Maddie. Cait wasn’t anything to Maddie…she was a job.

Wasn't it Caitlyn who was the cause of this tho ? In the first season Vi being accompanied by Caitlyn was what caused most of the distrust Jinx had towards her. Vi then shows great care for Caitlyn in front of Jinx which made it even worst. Caitlyn then in season 2 ask Vi to join the enforcers, and she is also the one that spread the info that Vi was joining even before asking her. Maddie does offer her a hand and welcomes her in their team which pushes Vi to join for sure but it has very little effect on Vi compared Caitlyn's actions, hell even Jinx' actions which is the main reason why she enrolls, to take care of her sister herself. Let's not blame everything on one specific characters undermining other's faults and responsibilities. Maddie has one of the coolest lines of the season if not the series, a very cool "asshole" character Imo. ✨

@SenturosGaviannus Perhaps. The strength of Riot is that the whole production is in house, ensuring potential deadlines won't put unneccessary weight on the artists and writers shoulders. Their policy has been that if it is not good enough, they have no issues pulling the plug. In fact; they killed Arcane even after Fortiche went from 5 to 200 animators because of the prospect of the show. The KDA projects pretty much saved Fortiche. It is refreshing to see a studio actually care so much about their fanbase. I think RIOT wanting to procure Fortiche is a great step forward for them.

Loved the video!!! And one more thing about Maddie that I only noticed in my second time watching season 2 (and my life is all about making people hate her more), is that when she shoots Caitlyn, she aims at her neck and not at her head. At first I thought she was just a dumb b- who can't even get a headshot right, but talking with a friend she explained that IT WAS INTENTIONAL SO CAITLYN WOULDN'T DIE RIGHT AWAY AND WOULD SUFFER TO DEATH!!! Like???? Publicly executing Cait wasn't enough for her, she wanted my girl to have a slow and painful death. Oh, Maddie, nothing could make me like you.

@deluludsАй бұрын
@YamaguchiGroup Actually, I truly believe that she was with Ambessa since the beginning, because when Vi is "arrested" by Cait, and she has that conversation with her, Ambessa kinda implies that she filled the void left by Vi with something else. Of course, she might be talking about the fact that she gave Cait a new motivation to fight, but I think she was also talking about Maddie. How Ambessa got the uniforms for the attack at Cait's mom funeral, and also, right at the moment when Maddie shoots Cait, they flash a devilish smile on her face (it's a very fast detail); those are also things that make me believe that her goal was always to be a spy for Ambessa (like, the woman is literally a war machine and strategist, she wouldn't trust Cait just like that, so it makes sense for her to put Maddie there since the beginning). I think if she was supposed to be someone who had feelings for Cait, Arcane would make sure to show us more of that. She's barely acknowledged, and I believe the only reason for her to be stressed out with Vi coming back is because it might fuck up Ambessa's plan. But that's my perception of things and we'll never know for sure 😕
