    Season one was a masterclass in storytelling and animation, and a solid criticism of the systems that create and maintain "order" by oppressing others.

    Season two was entertaining, but it walked back a lot of the ideas the first explored. It was jarringly inconsistent with the themes and development of the first. But it was pretty to look at and had good music.

    This is the best summary and review of Arcane. I 100% agree here. At least watch season 1, it's worth the watch and you really don't need to know anything about the lore of Legaue of Legends to appreciate it on its own merits.

    Does the show not cover the lore?

    It does, but it fits a lot into two seasons and would probably have benefitted from being 3.

    Mostly its a lot of 'twists' in season 2 that aren't actually twists if you already knew who the characters are, but definitely would have benefitted from just a bit more time to flesh them out.

    Don't let that dissuade you though, it's still by far one of my favorite shows. The characters are all really interesting and compelling and it pulls on your heartstrings in a way very few shows manage to do (imo).

    So whats the source material, i assumed it was a netflix cg original. If im thinking of the right show of course. I read light novels every day so im not opposed to going for the books over a show. I actually love watching something and then reading more since i can now easily put faces to names.

    It was the same with the expanse, i started book 1 after my boss recommended it to me, then a couple days later he said there was a show so i immediately switched to that and then read the series.

    Arcane is based on the lore for the game League of Legends (specifically the Piltover and Zaun area).

    Stop reading this person's comments and just watch the show. The first season is incredible.

    Trust me. From someone who was in the same boat as you who needed to be convinced because I had negative interest in the game.

    This person means well but they're coming from someone who was already a fan. Take it from someone who hates that genre of game and hoped to never have to interact with it: the Arcane TV show is outstanding.

    One of the best animated series ever made. I'm not even kidding.

    Best ever made..... You have no idea who you are talking too, granted its easy for you to not realize im an anime veteran. But their honest good will approach was what drew me into wanting to see it. Of course people who like something are going to want others to also like it. I in fact do not want to stop readding their comments if it means i have to only suffer through yours🤮🤮🤮

    Uh, beg pardon?

    May I ask what I said or did that warranted this kind of reply? It is just so oddly aggressive and antagonistic when all I did was try to recommend a TV show that I think is good.

    I guess this is what I deserve for trying to give a TV show recommendation?

    Yikes. Just yikes.

    Edit: You know what, fuck the benefit of the doubt and fuck you for speaking to me like this after zero provocation. Watch it or don't watch it, but go fuck yourself either way.

    And I said "one of the best ever made" you fucking chode. Go back to jerking off to loli porn.

    Imagine saying something like this about yourself with a straight face:

    You have no idea who you are talking too, granted its easy for you to not realize im an anime veteran.

    It's like straight up copypasta.

    Arcane isn't even anime, but as long as you get to feel superior or something I guess.

    Dont just tell me what to do. Oh and completely editing your comment from one word into a paragraph later just makes anything you say seem if not full of shit but at least shady.

    Edit: you know when you completely add shit later this is one way you do it. But also you must hate yourself for doing so stupidly. Id hate me to if i acted liked you. Who cares though, get bent and have a nice day! 😝😝😝

    My dream for the Trump family:

    "Good. And please let him know that, if they can't, I will rain Hellfire down on them all; I will freeze their assets, cancel their contracts, cripple their business. And I have the power to do it, because I am the fucking hero who helped save Mother Earth from the cataclysm that Jules-Pierre Mao unleashed. Tell his children the government is more powerful than any corporation, and the only reason they think it feels the other way is because we poor public servants are always looking for some fat private sector's payoff down the road. And I'm not looking. And by the time they can pull the strings to force me out, it will be too late. Their family will be ruined. Their mother, their children, their children! All of them: pariahs! outlaws! Hunted and on the run for the rest of their days, until we find them, and nail each and every last one to the wall. Make sure you tell them that."

    Clearly because others do not share your opinion. Which is fine. If it was up to me as to what programs would get made, 95% of the dreck out there woudln't. But others like them, so they get made. :)

    I like the voice but I find her cadence and accent a bit off putting. It makes her hard to follow. It's like the emphasis is in the wrong place, often, but she has a smoky rasp that is great.

    So I get why people like her. I also get why some don't. What I don't get is people downvoting you for having an opinion that's valid, just different to theirs.

    From my perspective, you're being ruder and pettier than they are. And in a thread they are involved in. The actress is unlikely going to ever hear their opinion.

    They will hear yours. Maybe choose to share it in a kinder way and you can be the change you seem to want.

    You wouldn't even be trying to do that unless you were upset. If you were as calm and collected as you claim, your tack would be "Oh I see" and that would be it.

    If you want to see what rude actually looks like, then I'll tell you what I think about people who think validity is all that's required for an opinion to be worthwhile.

    It's exaggerated in the show,but there is a "UN Mom" type that works for the UN, dresses like a peacock at a fabulousness contest and swears like a docker when the microphones arent around.

    Ironically, those "with" and/or "from" money tend to be distrusting of it, and project their internally ever-present fear of weakness outward onto the world.

    Every time they puff up and get loud, they're just squashing their fears of being the inept, impotent, and unworthy cowards we already know them to be.

    This is from the show The Expanse. I think this is around season 3. The character is a diplomat and she curses every 2 words.

    Diplomat is kind of understating it though.

    Minor spoilerShe is the scion of a political dynasty that is serving as "Under-Secretary-General" in the UN when we get to know her, so two steps away from the throne of Earth, having access to black ops and military assets, without ever having been elected.

    Also towards your earlier point, I always took her brash attitude as intentionally annoying. Like that's the whole point of it, narratively. It's a tool she uses to unsettle others. Which is why it fits so nicely in the OP.

    I bet regardless of what political/religious/ethical philosophies you adhere to, I can find prominent people who represent that philosophy well, who swear.

    I just wantesd to hop in here and state that there are no bad words. Words have no inherent morality.

    And out of respect I will not type it out, but the F word is one of the most versatile in the language.

    I agree, and I personally swear all the time. But I grew up in a family and culture that believed swear words were morally wrong, and had to deconstruct that (among many other things) on my own, so when I see other people expressing beliefs that I used to believe, I like to try to engage with them :)
