Please, please and please, don't tell me Isha is dead.
I need her to survive like how Mel survived that attack on the council.
I need Echo to come back and turn back time.

Guy, she cannot go like this

Looks like my picture bar just refilled. Let's continue.

Over 24 hours and I'm still not okay with this. You deserved better, Isha

I don't see how all the various plotlines come together and get resolved in 3 episodes....

It will likely end either open-endedly or with various loose plot threads...

Or maybe the other planned series set in the Arcane world would tie up other loose ends...

Maybe I should also have faith in the writers. They could still pull it off and tie up everything in 3 episodes somehow...

It won't matter anyway...give fans good music and most will overlook any issue...

E.g the writing in this season has been pretty weak but people were apparently crying because of episode 6...

I honestly do not know what people were crying for.
Vander? He's been out since season 1 episode 3 and was reintroduced suddenly and he is somehow very important for some vague reason...

Isha? She's barely a character and her only relevance is tied to Jinx. She doesn't even serve any purpose to the plot...
I genuinely don't believe any fan truly cares about her because there's barely any reason to aside the fact that she's cute...

Viktor? His death was actually sad but also confusing since we are in the dark as to why Jayce suddenly killed Viktor...
So it's more of conflicting...

Good music and a montage of Isha who no one really cares about and some people are crying...
No wonder they doubled down on the music this season...

I don't even see where the Mel plotline is going or why the writers made her survive the bomb...

Edit: I even forgot that Ekko existed.

I just hope they tie it all together in a satisfying way...

Ambressa Medarda so far is the most interesting character this season...

I hope she gets everything she wants. She's my favorite character in the show...and I fully her
Speak for yourself guy. I cared about Isha and I was very sad to see her die.

I am indeed speaking for myself.

I also acknowledged that some people cried at her death but stated why I didn't feel much when she died.

And it was because she was barely a character. Showing montages at her death does not suffice to make me care a lot about her.

I'll post a screenshot of a good criticism I found on the Arcane subreddit today that really sums up my issues with the writing of season 2 of Arcane.

For some of us, simply giving emotional music is not enough.

Well, Day of Jackal is way better than Penguin. My opinion.

It's just too interesting..
I have yet to start watching The Day of the Jackal but I seriously doubt that it comes close to The Penguin.
It's good to hear that it's good though. I'll start watching now.

This is the list of shows I'm currently following. Although, I might drop Tulsa King cos I don't find it as interesting as I used to anymore.

How the hell did Tulsa King even get a S2? A 80s and 90s star like Sylvester Stallone being a mob muscle in a recent show? The S1 looked so silly, cringe and unbelievable to me. Big unc Stallone is pushing 80 and i am so sorry, these are not the kind of roles for him anymore ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. So imagine my shock when i saw they flipped a S2....well, the ratings are still crazy high, probably from nostalgia tax of Big unc Stallone, but ejรณ....i am not there abeg fgss

While I've read your post, how small the fonts are of the screenshots, I ain't reading all that. That said,

I was surprised that the writers recalling Vander, when I first saw the different colored eyeballs I initially thought Silco until he called her Powder.

Secondly I think Vander's 'recall', if anything was to unite the sisters together, as they have drifted apart. Since Jinx is already a street icon, with Vi on her side, they will take on topside.

Yes, Isha killed Vander but everything started with the death of Victor by a topsider Jayce.

In beginning of the 6th episode, there was a conversation between Sky and Victor, and I think(I dont know for certain ) that the Jayce that came out of the wild rune
1. Is another version of Jayce.
2. Is controlled by the wild rune.

Also, while Isha isn't attached to the main story, there are 'mini' characters that fans are generally gravitate towards. So it isn't far fetched this her death(shey na boy Abi na girl Isha be sef?) brings out emotions.

I will try the copy that entire post here...
But knowing anti spam, I'd likely get banned somehow. I'll try with my other .

On your second point, that is exactly my issue with Vander's return. He was a plot device to unite the sisters rather than seeming like an actual character. His return didn't serve any purpose to the story other than a cheap way to get the sisters to unite.
There was so much hype as to his powers and how pivotal it would be to the plot but we saw nothing on screen.

He was said to be important but not shown to be important to the overall plot.

Yes about Jayce. But we don't really know for sure what happened to Jayce that made him kill Viktor...so it's very vague and it's hard to feel any emotion for something like that...

And maybe you can enlighten me what exactly was the purpose of Viktor's entire arc as "Hextech Jesus"?

To hell with The Jackal.

The idiotic directors had to throw in the LGBTQ towel. To think I was hailing the show a few days ago after they released the first five episodes.

I didn't know that they wanted people to get sucked in before they introduced the sodomy plot in the 6th episode.

I don't care if the show later becomes bigger than Game of Thrones. I'm don't with it

I am guessing you didn't see GOT too, cuz that had said content too ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’€

To each, with it's own resolve but at this rate, you are only gonna be seeing like 3 or 4 shows per year ๐Ÿ˜ฉ..... and also you might actually need to avoid American, British, or all of Western shows altogether.

While she hasn't spoken to her father for awhile, a father is still a father, inasmuch he wasn't beating her growing up, despite the fact they aren't talking, that love is still there.

Why you think they change the mission to turning the father to an asset instead? Even in the first episode, Joe was asking her that Mexican families are always close, why isn't her? That she was just crying like another thing.

Even the reception when the mother opened the door isn't of a long lost child that she hasn't seen in ages(my view though), so I believe there is some closeness amongst them, so the betrayal isn't going to be easy.

Family is family regardless. But without the bond.. she can't do much. I won't call that betrayal.. she's just doing her job. It's either her head or the father

Isha needs to die to bring back imbalanced and the real Jinx.
Vander needs to die too... To made VI mad and blame Jinx again just as she did try to save Vander and killed all her family in Season 1.

We're huffing unhealthy levels of hopium here but there are a few theories that hint that she's not or won't stay dead

GOT had a better story that was why we coped with the LGBTQ rubbish.

But now, no matter how better the story of a show is, I'm gone once I get an inkling of the alphabet mafia.

I don't really care about Victor's death, there is no emotional attachment to him from me.

As for his arc, there is alot to explain on Act III.

Cos if he was already dying or going to die cos of the overuse of Hextech, what was the use behind him doing all this?

When dem don start to do remembrance service before the action is carried out, it's almost hopeless to believe she will survive. If it's a cliffhanger, then they got me good.

Na like 2 shows/year you go dey watch from the main streaming houses be that oh.

While we want to frown at it, these alphabet people have been around since the old testament, might as well let them be. Nor let 1 or 2 scenes deny you of TV excellence.

Most likely because Viktor ends up causing or being the cause of a big catastrophe before his system fails. That's one way to look at it.

His Death was underwhelming for me tbh, i had soomuch faith (pun intended) in his arc.
Also, I can see why people love Isha, she is adorable and also menacing in a cute way.
