To be honest, it's very sad to see Maddie beating her chest. She started doing it the very first of the inforces, and she does it with a smile. Maddie believes that Caitlyn and Ambessa will do everything right and there will be peace for everyone. It's just that she's never seen a real war.

Then when Cait walks up and Ambessa drapes her in her new cape, they cut the thumping until she turns around and she and we notice they’re still chest thumping. And in one final pound, Caitlyn accepts the title.

It wasn't a false flag attack. A false flag would've been if Ambessa's troops staged the attack posing as Renni's men. They tipped Renni off and set her up, but it was still a legitimate attack that she perpetrated against Piltover.

1:19-1:23 This is the best part of the scene to me. The swift change from the Caitlyn to Ambessa. Two woman driven and motivated by revenge for their lost family members. The pause before she says “ Come child. “ is superb. You can visualize them locking eyes in this moment. Caitlyn knowing what she wants to do both for herself and the city. Ambessa knowing what NEEDS to do to move her own plans forward. Then with just two words she brings her right along the path of revenge with her. Not in a demanding or harsh tone but a softer one. Just true manipulation in every sense of the word. Then the swift cut back to Caitlyn furrowing her brow and taking that true first step on her revenge tour. Holy shit this season is gonna be crazy! 👏🏾

[@trueblueedits4673]

Ambessa, with her hair constructed in the shape of a halo, looks almost like a holy figure as she places the cloak over Caitlyn. It's a very powerful visualization of the fact that Caitlyn is being brought under Ambessa's wing and she is extremely powerful---there is a danger to being under Ambessa's wing. The way the cloak is giant, almost swallowing Caitlyn's silhouette, while the cloudless sky, blank and vast and an uninviting shade of muted greyish blue, also encompasses her. Caitlyn has ascended and grasped power but at what cost? She has power but she is now controlled by forces much greater than herself. I think the visualization of all of this is brilliant. This is her "I am Paul Muad'dib Atreides" moment: You can't help but feel a perverse pride for her as the chant is so overpowering and seeing her ascend is powerful, yet you know, this is the beginning of a possible downfall.

[@anolive7535]

yeah I was really enjoying the direction the show was going with this but (SPOILERS FOR ACT 2) I feel like the writers kinda pumped the brakes on it. I wanted to see the whole armies of enforcers and noxians marching through the streets. I wanted to see Zaunite resistance members defiantly trying to fight back, using their knowledge of the streets they grew up in to their advantage only to still lose due to the sheer might of the enforcers and noxians. I was expecting something raw and visceral like the intro to Season 1 Act 1 where we get a violent reminder of how Topside oppresses its Undercity. I wanted Caitlyn to walk the streets, KNOWING what she was doing but still complicit in all it because of her lust for revenge. Instead we kinda just got a montage of a few arrests and they added a checkpoint on the bridge :/ and oh look Caitlyn is banging someone else days after her breakup with Vi haha ://// What threw me off even more is how Vi and Caitlyn basically immediately become besties again when the see each other again in episode 6. Caitlyn even willingly teams up with Jinx.

[@anolive7535]

Act 2 just came out, interested what your thoughts on Caitlyn are now? The show kind of just montaged the whole Piltover invasion thing which honestly I'm not a big fan of. This scene was kind of hyping up a big, brutal invasion of the Undercity but all we really see are a few flashes of people getting arrested and a checkpoint. It didn't really feel like Topside launched a full-scale invasion...just increased the number of patrols there. I was expecting something more like the intro scene to S1 Act 1 with the enforcers and noxians vs some resistance members killing each other with civilians caught in the cross-fire. I felt like the writers got cold-feet with the direction Caitlyn's character was going and tried to pump the brakes on her being a ruthless dictator out for revenge. Hell (spoilers for Ep6) the moment she meets Vi again they immediately make amends and team up. Caitlyn even willingly works alongside Jinx.

She knew she wont. Now Cait is easy to manage, because of her rage

[@mranima748]

That’s why she started thumping her chest, this isn’t a nomination of a position, Caitlyn has no choice.

[@blackmoon2128]

Watching this again, it makes appear so much that Maddie really is a noxian agent from the start... or she is just a simp really that see any opportunity to climb higher and goes for it.

[@thecheck968]

So much of this situation feels like a double edged sword. Caitlyn being elected as general should be a great honor, but everyone looks at her with the same shock as if she were accused of a crime. Hell, that's how Caitlyn herself reacts. Ambessa's stance at 0:27 is captivating. She is drumming out of respect. But with the angle she is standing at, it looks like she's physically ushering Caitlyn by her side.

[@pvrc1030]

Or drumming to pressure her. I mean Cait hasn't done anything remarkable by Noxian standards. Caitlyn looks like she wasn't even sure until the rest of the Enforcers drummed with the Noxians. It's like suddenly getting nominated by a teacher as class president and everybody's on board with it and you can't do anything about it lol. I'm excited to see how Caitlyn responds under pressure.

[@Mimoucchi1234]

​@pvrc1030 That's what I think btw, what could she say? With everyone drumming on their chests and looking at her... she always lived with the expectations of doing what was "right" and then what could she do in this scene? Reject and become a betrayer of Piltover and ruin her family ? she knows the weight of rejecting and accepting and has no choice for either

[@leonerd1763]

What really is amazing is the fact that she has now become (at least in her newfound role) the same one of those who killed Vi's parents...she'll snap out of it, but it won't be easy

[@inversional_loop]

all it took was one "cupcake" from vi and she folded 😂 i know there was more to it and that cait didnt seem to want this position at all. Look at her face when ambessa tells her that her mom will get justice. There is reluctance all over her face but the situation is quite inescapable because she had no choice.

[@leonerd1763]

@@inversional_loop Well, Ambessa controlled her, but she remains a good person at heart, even if the grief distorted her decisions and priorities. Seeing Vi + the doubts she already had was enough to break her from the chains of her own bitterness

[@furionmax7824]

So. Noxus may be rolling up on their doorstep by the end of the season. Apparently Ambessa is doing all this independently of Noxus. And going by the amount of black birds id say Swain has been keeping an eye on her. The one who kidnapped Mel is a Noxus associated Champ named Le Blanc. Swain or as he was once known as the Crow Man by the old player base before his overhaul. Is the emperor of Noxus with untold and unmatched power. These are the two people you really dont wanna piss off. Its actually theorized that Medardas son crossed Swain or the other champs in Noxus and was forced to flee. Now Swain wouldnt bother going himself. Hed probably send either Sion, Draven or someone else that wouldnt hesitate to raise the entire nation or Piltover to the fucking ground. Its terrifying to think thats how everyone meets a Noxus Champion. Bc overall? Medarda is the most reasonable of them all.

[@justapigeon9439]

actually swain is not in power at the time of the show nor does he control the black rose at the moment it should be Boram Darkwill who is the black roses puppet and the guy that leads the ionian invasion.

Which black birds? If you're talking about the ones in the first season, those were crows, not ravens (which are associated with Swain).

[@pathological8231]

One of the best scenes in season 2 imo

[@carloscoda1273]

Now we know why Maddie was so convinced with Ambessa's decision

[@inversional_loop]

I love that ambessa starts the chest thumping and Caitlyn stops it. Knowing what we know about ambessa and caityln, how they both view upholding their own respective peace, this scene is interesting. I feel as if the thumping represents some sort of allegiance to ambessa and her cause. Caitlyn held some sort of power before the scene ends to STOP the thumping. Ambessa has the power involved to start a revolution, but could cait have the ability to stop it? Its very subtle but i think it reflects their two personalities perfectly. A little more than the "Why is Violence always the Justification for Peace?" Line which felt a bit on the nose in my opinion.

[@Rhino1004]

The simpler reading is: The thumping represents the social pressure to accept her role. When Caitlyn finally performs a thump herself, it represents her acceptance of the role, and the pressure is finally alleviated. Though now that I think about it, I do actually like your interpretation, too! Caitlyn's endpoint is to be the Sheriff of Piltover, that being NOT a military general like in this scene, but instead a domestic police officer - a peacekeeper, if you will.

[@PRubin-rh4sr]

I think they just made Maddie a traitor to solve the "cheating" between Vi and Caitlyn.

[@PRubin-rh4sr]

Thats it, literally the only reason

[@Valeyardos]

I doubt it

[@cupcakkegulpgulp]

yeah it was to kind of justify it, we would hate them for cucking Maddie if she wasnt a traiter and or died on battle defending piltover for example.

[@clearfruit7901]

She's a manipulator and a plant, that's why her place in the story felt off from the start she introduces herself as a starry eyed hopeful little soldier is integrated into caitlyn's main recon squad even though she hasn't shown much skill, especially compared to vi and caitlyn, to even be there in the first place (what the fuck was she holding in episode 3? a hextech smoke gun?? Standing next to caitlyn's bad self looking like a grunt) is the first enforcer to beat her chest along with ambessa, pressuring caitlyn to take on the role quickly begins a relationship with caitlyn once she's isolated from vi I thought at first she was just gonna be introduced as a sweet character to be killed off later, but her being a traitor didn't come off as that random to me because the way she clearly distracting caitlyn was bothering me, and that's literally what her goal was sooo
