ARCANE Season 2 Episode 1 2 And 3 Recap And Ending Explained

[@burqawaliaunty7664]

Jayce and Viktor's conversation made sense tho, Victor feels lost and guilty after causing the death of Sky, he feels a complex hatred towards the hexcore, he feels betrayed by his closest friend who he drifted from in season 1, and he's clearly is transformed by the way we see how he describes being "cold" and by how he's literally being guided by sky (or the hexcore taking her image). "Speaking over each other" i mean thats the point, thats how vi and cait talked the first time they had a deep conversation with vi hallucinating young powder and talking to her and cait thinking it was meant for her. My assumption is that people think the dialogue is bad only because act 1 is plot heavy and still setting up for the rest of the show, this person gotta go here, that person gotta meet this other person, but idk maybe i am just not seeing it.

Arcane season 1's strongest episodes for me were the first 3. They madea huge emotional impact on me and got me extremely invested in the characters and the relationships. However while watching these episodes I often found myself saying "what already? I expected this to happen around ep 5 or 6" and I thought that more than a couple of times. Visually it is still stunning, probably even more than season 1. The music is fantastic. And I truly hope the next acts slow it down a little bit, I just finished watching so I am still digesting. Also we are not done with the season yet so I dont know how it will go, but man oh man do I need, NEED a Noxus set show next.

The show is still as gorgeous as ever, and the characters just as compelling. When things go to shit (and they often do) I'm never thinking "oh, it's because this character was acting OOC". I get where every single one of them is coming from and why things couldn't go any other way because of it, and I love it. Love this show.

The pacing is really fast here. Given all the re-writes we heard about I bet they were in a weird situation where they either didn't have enough material for 3 full seasons, or didn't want to do a third season for business reasons. But they have more material than nine episodes can handle. We'll see if it slows down but given the tightness of the writing my guess is no. They're really not wasting a second to let the plot breathe. It's not necessarily a bad thing, depends on the execution, I just expect a pretty relentless pace. Other than that, it's somehow even prettier than S1. The animation is incredible. Aside from the musical number they've put in every episode, which I expect to continue, the music has been pretty dang good. The voice acting is great but somehow Ella Purnell manages to elevate herself above it in a noticable way. I'm genuinely surprised she hasn't completely blown up into mainstream stardom yet, though I think she's headed that way. She's got the talent in spades. Pretty good so far. The first act didn't make me cry like the ending of S1 act 1 but it's a solid foundation for a season. Hopefully they let the show breathe a little more in act 2. I have a feeling act 3 will be balls to the wall so that's probably the only spot the show could potentially slow a bit

A Noxus show would be a plus. If they invested in making an actual MCU-like universe (i mean the dimension and there's material for that), the only problem will be the execution. I dream they can maximize both the quality and quantity we got in the MCU until endgame. But for real, they are really interesting supporting-turned relevant characters.

[@MicahelWaqar]

Yeah I wouldn't want it at the expense of quality. I used to play League and am decently familiar with the lore of the world, an MCU like universe of Arcane quality shows would be absolutely amazing. There are so many stories and characters and regions I would love to see and think would make serious hits with the general non gaming audience.

[@medfeedsvideos6332]

So far its good but sometimes it cuts off to different subplots too fast just to show that all this is happening while the other is happening. Especially ep 3 where im tryna understand whats happening with ambessa then it cuts to jayce then back to vi and cait then back to jayce and then they're jointed together

[@mariamwaqar-sz6vr]

Really Enjoyed Act 1, but I also will echo what many others are saying in that it feels like it's moving at a breakneck pace. The creators have talked about how they're ending the show after this season because they've told the story they wanted to tell. It's also been confirmed that the original deal with Netflix was to have as many as 5 seasons. I do believe they're going to tell the story they wanted to tell, but they're rushing season 2 to get there. It's a real shame.

[@waqarmassood]

Kinda sad that Viis guntlets did not blow up becouse of the hextech core, just like how Jinx launcher blew up and threw her off her game. It was kinda unfair fight at that point. Sad that its 3ep per week, I would rush the whole thing in one go.

[@waqarmasood6252]

its faced paced for a reason. Its actually not that hard at all to understand whats going on if youre paying even a little bit of attention to the dialogue. The first season was the set up hence its slower burning more character building driven tone and pace. Now were watching the execution. im positive its going to continue giving enough screen time and exposition for new faces and characters as much as they fit into the story witjout having to sidetrack from the energy theyve created with the main characters in these first 3 eps. Yall heard 5 seasons and immediately went full brain rot. Didn't make you cry?? Im positive we arent watching the same show. Cait and Vi alone had me sobbing loke how you are you going to have that conversation than do THAT. The amount of people who can relate with what vi and cait are going through is fucking powerfulll. Its not just put a chick in it and make gay lmao they actually did something here. The creators incredible execution of showing the emotional pain jinx is in makes it hard not to feeeel that shit, as like i stated, people can connect and relate with what these characters are going through. The only thing i agree with is the excessive musical numbers so far and its tackiness...BUT i understand why they are there. Riots always used music to tell the story of league especially back in the day. I feel a lot of people watching the show are fans of just that, the show. Fans of the game for 15 years will have a much deeper appreciation and understanding of the story and shows pacing and where its are right now. Its not perfect, but its not as off paced as everyone is making it out to be either.

[@theeditors7206]

I don't think the plan is to wrap everything up neatly by the end. They are making a cinematic universe, I 100% expect some plotlines to lead directly to spin-offs and future projects.

[@mariamwaqar-rc4ne]

Pacing is not so great but one thing I wanted to mention was that (spoiler) after you watch the intro/OP in episode 1 you're thrust right into another song with the passing of a character and mourning for them. I felt it was a bit too much to start off with another song right after having the main song. Didn't much care for the song either, not a huge melismatic fan and was slightly inaudible but that's besides the point; It just felt very out of place to me. I'm still enjoying the series so far though.

[@JamesWaqar-f1m]

Jayce and Victor first talk is the worst one imo, also a lot of times it feels like people talk over each other, like Vi said something to Caitlin once and Caitlin responded the moment the voice line ended(this is more sound editing issue). Maddie intro to Vi had some weird things also, can't remember the specifics There are more, but I finished an hour ago and would have to rewatch and write down next time Don't get me wrong, this dialogue feels only bad because of how good season 1 dialogue was I do think however, that most issues arise from the fast pacing and too much cutting

[@justwatcher5657]

Nah, I hated the one obvious "music video" in S1. They've done a short one every episode so far and they hardly kill the show for me but it's kind of a wasted 45 seconds imo

[@lilycollins-z9i]

NGL the pacing of this season is so fast and the dialogue was not as good compared to season 1. very fun to watch but a let down, especially with how amazing season 1 was. I still enjoyed s2 but I felt like something was wrong whiles watching it.

[@johnmike-w2u]

eep seeing people saying the dialogue is not as good as the first season, does anyone have any examples??

[@waqarcpm4321]

Is it a cliffhanger ending for the First Arc?
