[@NoaD.G]

Omfg, finally someone picked up that cait losing her mom to jinx is not the same as vi losing her parents to the enforcers and then getting asked to stand as one of them. Im so glad sheera understood! None of the other reactors got that. Once again, peak reaction crew!

[@Marzipanilla]

Fr. Vi had to choke down her anger and live w the ppl who killed her parents demeaning her home and family w no real way to push back. While the moment Cait experiences harm she gathers her influence and money and starts punching. Very different experiences

[@dcpettis9573]

Yea idk why it gets treated as the same, just off the ages they were and where they live at the times of their moms dying is completely different. Cait also lost one parent and not both while being able to do something about it right after on top of that.

[@K2niarDneK]

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

@@chance757 I was actually annoyed that the show pulled its punches there, because it made no sense on multiple levels. The chambaron lady would definitely want to take a loved one away from Jayce before killing him, and if they were trying to strike terror into Piltover what better way than an assassination on stage in the middle of a speech? But then after learning the truth of the attack at the end of the third episode... it suddenly made sense why they wouldn't kill her. I love when things come together.

Season 1 was released in separate acts too btw. Eps 1-3, 4-6, 7-9

[@baihelair]

07:00 totally agree! cait's mum died in a violent way, yes, but it's still not the same as losing your parents to police brutality and continuing to live as a victim of it for years after that. not to mention, it's only been a few weeks at best since vi got out of prison where she was literally being beat up by officers for their entertainment lol i love cait but she was tripping

[@raec5426]

They weren't on the same page for what Vi meant for that part with Cait's response. lol I guess Cait took it as just having a parent killed by the other side, but there was more to what Vi meant.

[@Banished-rx4ol]

@@baihelair I mean this is all new for cait too, she just got kidnapped and beat up by jinx then her mom gets blown up and she now faces the responsibility of leading the city in the face of civil war

[@BlendinBlandin]

Vi's a selfish bitch. She wanted Hextech to take down shimmer, but instead she just went after Sevika and got herself kidnapped. Kinda like when she punched her sister and ran off into the dark to mope, and got taken by Marcus. Or when she tried to negotiate with Jinx, and got kidnapped by Ekko. I sense a theme here...

[@jmserro5614]

Also the difference is that Vi didn't have the chance to avenge their parents dying while Cait here has all the resources and ability to do that. She's trying to 'Vander' Cait up just like how vander stopped her.

[@lettuce6321]

It’s honestly amazing. The parallels. Vi’s parents died as a result of police brutality. Meanwhile, Cait’s mom died from a person protesting back from having to face oppression and brutality.

*THIS!!!* This is why it took 3 years to make season 2! Not only is the writing and voice acting top tier, SOMEHOW the animation is even better! You could pause at any frame of this show and it looks like it should be shown at the Louvre. Especially the funeral scene for Caitlyn’s mother.

[@peterwyatt3838]

It was also because the studio behind this show admitted that they didn't anticipate Arcane to be as successful as it was. Otherwise, they would have been working on Season 2 much earlier.

[@lilacangelblue2404]

_mmmm.... hexblicky_ Fun factssss The Old Kiramans were engineers that helped design the ventilation routes of the undercity, to direct "the gray" [smog] trapped underground elsewhere so the zaunites could breathe. The vents are only partially functional though, as low amounts still leak into the air. When fully operational, the air quality is close to that of Piltovers, minus the smells of greenery, and entitlement. The Kiraman key grants access to the family archives containing records, research, blueprints, and maps, as well as control over the ventilation system itself. *this is a surprise tool that will be important later 😀

[@bakuhakudraws5603]

The animation in this series is so mind-blowing. Everyone's gonna talk about the flashy action scenes, and don't get me wrong, those are incredible, but the *character acting* is phenomenal. The enormous depth of subtle body language, expression shifts, even just the movements of character's eyes are SO detailed and precise. Most of the time Live Action filmmaking has an advantage over animation in that department since actually animating all of those little movements is incredibly difficult and time-consuming, but this series matches and even surpasses MOST live-action performances with every single character, especially when you compare it against other TV acting performances.
