RE:

Thinking about this again and I can't help but think her being white had a major hand

I how Jonathan Majors' career was headed for the very top after Lovecraft Country, like he was supposed to herald an era of young black leads, to replace Denzel, Cheadle and the likes, and how it all crash landed after those allegations, that was basically reduce to a misdemeanour in the 3rd degree, and yet his career is basically like precum, a total full stop...and no important black figure has spoken out in , for fear of been blacklisted..... sickening.

I think it would have been a far different outcome, if he was from Caucasus Mountains. I didn't use to believe it before, but as a black man, you will need to work x4 than people of other races, and pray you don't trip, cuz there is no coming back after that....talent is not just enough as a black person.

And Black people sef, we are so disunited, no other races is taking us seriously, the way we are. Just look at how the Jews people after the Holocaust, decided to be united across the world and occupy the upper echelons of world power, and since then, nobody messes with them.... Israel is damn near commiting a genocide and a systemic ethnic cleansing, and the whole western world is turning a blind eye.... just a food for thought....

Sorry for the political digress....but we as black have to do better, we have to start pulling our weight in this world....😞

At the bold, finally somebody said it. Imagine what what someone from another race is thinking after watching the whole Chidinma Adetshina fiasco.

The way Jonathan Majors career went with a puff is still a shocker to me. And yes, just like you've speculated, it's linked to his skin colour.
Ain't no way things remain the same if he was white.

Look at Gina Carano. Person wey no even get talent sef dem still get people wey dey am. Mel Gibson of today still has and people defending him. Even Celebs.

And that's why I like Kanye's no frills nonchalant attitude. See the way Adidas take sharply blacklist am.... funny enough he's the person with the biggest contribution to the brand. And them no reason am reach few days sef before dem take action. That action messed up their financials that year.

As for the Black Race ever getting sense..... I seriously doubt that. Not in my lifetime sef cos mugus overpopulate our community and can't see the bigger picture. Division will surely continue. Black people have this myopic mindset to things and always live for the now. Put a Black man in a place of power and the next thing he's thinking of is how to oppress others or revenge against those who have wronged him in the past.
Look no further than Barack Obama.

Bruh, sometimes I wish I was Indian. If God wan put me for third world country at least make he put me for serious people that knows their history and working to rewrite it.
India in the next two decades will be untouchable just like Israel and only have China to contend with.
Look at many CEOs of top Fortune 500 companies, you see Indians placing themselves in spheres of power. They're discreetly following the Jewish template. When they start creating and managing Hedge Funds, Assets Management that's when the full world control kicks off.

Another person said it, most black are very unconscious of the world dynamics and how they fit into the grand scheme of things hence to motivation to act, only just a minute few are aware.

Wetin dey worry this family 😂😂😂😂

Na everybody jare.. they keep mes the story at every chance they have

It's only a Line that Vic said at the end that made it clear...more like multiverse and staying in a verse to perfect the beings

When a season starts with small character conflicts with the potential to escalate into a Civil war...

And in just 9 episodes, it ends with a world-ending threat with the same characters fighting for the fate of humanity

Then you know there is a problem with the pacing and writing of the season...

Was it episode 8 or 9 when Jayce suddenly started talking about uniting for fight for all of humanity...that was when the show completely lost me.

I began to question how we got here. Whether I skipped some episodes or something

Anyway, when I have time and gather my thoughts fully, I should post a full review of the season...

But anti-spam bot is killing my confidence

Too many things wrong with the story brother. Too many.. the story no make sense at all. No indication it's multiverse from Season 1 to 2 episode 7.. imagine ..

Ambessa story Na shit.. image how beautiful the story is.. they spoil it..
All characters story ni then spoil.


Stupid characters.. they're very funny doing everything to keep Jinx alive lol .

Episode 7 was dull, I felt sleepy, not gonna lie.. But everything came together in the end.

yeah that's exactly where i stopped ..


So season 3 is not out yet then ..

where do you guys get the manga stuff..

Was never too fond of Jinx but after watching episode 7 and seeing that version of her, she deserved small happiness in the end. Then again, no one got a happy ending after all that

DUNE:

HBO and unnecessary fan service 🤝

I know the book was it adapted from is Sisterhood of Dune, but the number of women plenty die. Every turn na woman.

And why do they have to make men useless, like you call yourself Emperor and you can't think for yourself.

The sisters have become like a drug that these men are hooked on, once they aren't there, zero thinking faculty.

Just have a question: Does it mean anyone can use the Agony to connect with anyone. Cos how did Dorotea enter Lila's Agony? Cos the explanation was that na family lineage nai the Agony dey work for.

You can read the manga online.

But usually major manga spoilers tend to trend among the anime fandom. I hear JJK and One Piece spoilers all the time

If you are talking of season 1, watch the first 4 episodes, then jump to the season finale. You won’t miss a thing at all. After the first 3 episodes, nothing special happened. If you feel you miss anything, watch the recap on on YouTube on Man of recap channel.

Arcane 9.8/10

I spent a good portion of this season wondering how they were going to successfully wrap this story up, but when episode 8 ended, my worries had been put to rest, leaving me to coast peacefully into the final episode.

Christian Linke and Alex Yee really put extra effort in the kitchen to cook for this season. From the development of old characters to the introduction of new characters to the intertwining stories to the dialogue to the progression of the plot. They did an absolutely amazing job. It's obvious in some parts that they had to leave some stuff out to wrap it up this season which is why I'm taking 0.2 off what should be a solid 10.

Kudos as well to the visual and audio teams for the storyboarding, designs and animations, as well as, the music for this season. The final package really justified the 3-year wait.

The central themes of love, loss and evolution carry into this season continuing to shape the decisions of the major characters and massively influencing their journey and their world at large.

Ambessa really was a worthy replacement for Silco as this season's major antagonist. With her characterization and Ellen Thomas' voice acting, it's not surprising she's become a fan favorite.

The introduction of Isha to aid in turning Jinx into a sympathetic character was a nice touch. And I really loved her character. I'd fund and watch a spin-off series featuring her.

Viktor was my standout character of the season. From his resurrection to his Jesus arc to his Glorious Evolution, he had my undivided attention everytime he was on screen.

Jayce has always been one of my favorite characters since the first season and his development is one of my most impressive parts of the show. Watching the resolution of his character's journey ing where it started it from impresses me even more than it did in the first season.

Ekko remained a scene stealer to the very end. Still got minimal screen, still stole the show in every scene he was in.

Sevika is essentially the one character I have griped with them in the final arc. 3 episodes, 2 hours and 10 minutes and they didn't even give her a single line. Her role as the defacto leader of Zaun got relegated to the background and was only addressed in a few short scenes. Didn't sit well with me.

I'm absolutely still glad I can still count this as one of the best shows of all time. Had me worried for a bit there that it might suffer a similar fate to Pantheon but I guess I should never have doubted the showrunners. Really wish I could've spent more time in this world with these characters but I'd rather it end here than drag on and fall off.

I guess after The Day of The Jackal we'd use another spy series — The Agency, to hold body small.

Arcane season 2........6/10


If I were to divide my score for this season, I would say -

Animation and music - 10/10
Writing - 3/10

One of the strongest point of Arcane season 1 was it's writing, especially it's character writing.
In my opinion, season 2 failed to deliver anywhere near that quality of writing and was plagued with many problems.

I will try to summarize a few issues below and keep things short cos of the bot-

1. Jinx and Isha.
Season 1 ended with Jinx bombing the council and her character having hit the rails. Her actions basically setting back the efforts of peace between Piltover and Zaun.
Then the writers decided to backtrack by introducing Isha. Isha is not a character but a plot device. The entire reason her character was introduced was to revert Jinx.
Yet the show failed to properly develop her relationship with Jinx because everything was moving at break neck pace.

You do not show character relationships through a music montage when Isha is about to die, you develop it through time spent with the characters. It is cheap emotional bait.

2. Vander
What exactly was the point of Vander's return other than to unite two sisters in the quickest cheapest way? All of the exploration on trauma, bonding, mental health in S1.
Instead of slowly building up to a resolution of the conflict between Jinx and VI, the show decided to speedrun things in one minute through the return of Vander as a plot device.
Building up character conflicts for an entire season and introduce a plot device to suddenly resolve it in few minutes.
Vander is back and now everything is fixed between the sisters. They suddenly reconcile.
Off-screen character arcs.


3. Piltover v Zaun (or lack thereof)

Season 1 revolved around small character conflicts tied together by the socio-political and economic issues of Piltover and the Undercity. These issues brought about great antagonists like Silco (the best written antagonist in the show).
The entire season built up this conflict as a central narrative to tie together all the other character narratives. The first season ended with Jinx's actions potentially leading up to a civil war

But the second season completely abandoned the entire plotline and went instead to stopping a humanity ending threat. Nothing mattered anymore once they introduced the world ending plot.
What was the point of Silco then if everything never mattered.
What about Silco's power vacuum? It was touched in the second episode of S2 and abandoned.

4. Mel and the Black Rose

Black Rose was the most stûpid and pointless addition to the story. It served no purpose other than linking to the next spin-off series.
Mel went from one of the best characters to suddenly developing powers that she somehow had the potential to develop?

What exactly is the Black Rose? Why should we care?
What was Mel's deal siding with them, only to play them and save Ambressa, only for Ambressa to die immediately after?

Ambressa also went from my favorite character in the season to a character I didn't recognize anymore

5. Viktor's Jesus arc

This arc had potential but needed to be a separate season, not bundled into few episodes and replacing the central Piltover conflict.
The conclusion to Jayce and Viktor's characters were cheap and uncertain and rushed. Attempting to reap without sowing.

I lost all faith in the writing when Jayce suddenly started talking about them fighting for all of humanity with no buildup to it whatsoever.

6. New side characters
Cait being betrayed by her new lover Maddie lacked any emotional impact because her new lover was barely a character at all. Maddie was simply introduced and then killed off when the plot needed Cait and VI to reconcile.

And the random dude who VI discovers, what is his deal?

7. Worldbuilding and Lore
The season just focused on some random bûllshit that anyone not familiar with the game lore would be lost. What is the Arcane? Yunno, the title of the show?
What is Black Rose and who is the Deceiver?

8. Extras
What was the weird sèx scene between Cait and VI just after Jinx said she alluded that she was intending suicide. VI just pauses and decided to have some fanservice sèx while her sister is pondering suicide?
Great writing

What about Sevika? It seemed like S2 would focus on her but she suddenly disappeared from the plot but somehow was a member of the council at the end.


Overall, season 2 is still a great visual experience but it forgot what made the show reverred in the first place
It replaced a character driven story with a rushed mess covered by stunning animation and music.

It is no wonder episode 7 is considered the best episode of S2 because it was the episode that actually slowed down and focused on character relationships.


I Still recommend season 2 for the visual experience but not for anyone looking for compelling writing or well developed character arcs.

I think the writers had some good ideas but due to the budget, were forced to rush two seasons worth of content in just 9 episodes

You said "Ambressa" soomany times now I need bress in my mouth 😩😩

I just finished watching FROM season 3 and the whole thing just left me weak. I don't know why they keep doing this nonsense season after season. They will leave important details for the last episodes of each season. I'm angry because with the way season 3 ended, I will definitely still come back to watch season 4

Arcane.

I've already messed myself up by binge watching His Dark Materials, I might as well complete my own finishing.
