arcane spends the first season highlighting how brutal and unforgiving the piltover occupation of zaun is its objectively and cartoonishly evil there are almost no redeeming qualties for it but it all shifts when jinx does the piltover equivalent of 9/11 and the messaging shifts from brutal occupation and conflict to the characters not being able to cope with trauma so they now commit facism

jinx and zaun are constantly shunned by the show while caitlyn and piltover are so quick to be forgiven

but in the end its okay because they find a common enemy and obviously the biggest enemy is collectivisim

the show is so hilariously amercian and lib it is not even funny

caitlyn gets to win the girl but jinx gets so guilty that she tries killing herself multiple times and ends up faking her own death and escaping her only family

i am genuinely so fucking pissed

    Yeah season 1 setup some cool shit and then season 2 was TURBOCOPS SAVE THE DAY. Also suddenly the oligarchy out of nowhere convinces all the people’s factions that they need to work together, and then throws the people right into the meat grinder and gives them cop uniforms. Wow, we did it!

    I was surprised at how good the first season was and subsequently surprised at how shit the second one was
