Arcane thread for the series' anniversary. I know the threads here died months ago, but I still think about them on the daily. I'll post my favorite works I've accumulated. Other Arcane ships/characters are welcome!>What do you think of the show in hindsight?>Favorite and least favorite character?>Favorite ship?>A storyline you liked? One you didn't?>Best episode?>Any particular fanworks that stuck with you?>Thoughts on any potential future projects from Riot and Fortiche?
Been thinking about watching this show but the fandom looks exhausting to deal with
>>4074330Why would you have to deal with the fandom? Also, it looks mostly centred around the girls, can anyone verify?
>>4074331I just don't want to get invested if they're just going to blueball me with a will they won't they ambigous ending for the popular gay couple. After Voltron I don't trust western animation
>>4074333I'm aware of voltron's reputation, what's the story there? I thought it was a case of the fanbase going crazy.
>>4074330>>4074333Hi! If you're counting on a canonical gay (male) couple ending, I'll save you the trouble and say Arcane doesn't have it; it's ambiguous. But for what it's worth, I found their ending to be much more romantic than the ending the canonical lesbians got. Season 1 is phenomenal so I would recommend it regardless. Season 2 I was not crazy about, but it gave me this ship, so I really can't complain...As for the fandom, I've only ever interacted with other fans via 4chan and Ao3, so I have no reliable information on that front.>>4074331>Also, it looks mostly centred around the girls, can anyone verify?I'd say it is, for the most part. But the male characters still get plenty of focus. The cast is large so competition for screen time is high.
>>4074335Basically the most popular gay ship (A/B) looked like it was going to be canon for a hot minute, but then the showrunners got cold feet because the horny teenager fanbase became too annoying, or more likely, the execs told them to knock it off (Voltron is owned by Paramount, nuff said). And then a third male character C became their token gay representation, but instead of shipping him with character A which was also a popular ship they paired him with a literal who that was introduced in the last season. Oh, and they made character B fall in love with the main girl from out of nowhere to remind everyone he was totally straight from the start. That's how much I can explain without spoilers, let's just say that shit ending managed to piss off everyone.
>>4074337>Klance>ever looking like it'd be canonLOL. LMAO even.
