1st season was made by creatives who apparently staged multiple interventions to keep the producer-duo from fucking it up.
2nd season was apparently developed during covid and all the creatives were fired except one woman they needed to write the dialogue.

the producers are self-admitted terrible writers btw. funny how riot still shoved million up their asses.

It's first set sold out because of scalpers which is common for every new TCG nowadays. The game is utterly fucked the moment it gets more print runs to fix the artificial scarcity. Anyone who is into TCGs sees the writing on the wall, Riftbound is not an enjoyable enough card game for people to stick around.

Season 2 had flaws and many strange decisions (giving that black council member magic powers, reviving Vander, doing multiverse bullshit), but I still really enjoyed it. Everything pertaining to Viktor was perfect. I can see the source of the "abysmal dogshit" sentiment, though, season 1 was so delightfully grounded. Also, the scene this song was for was great.

riot is a publicly traded company.
in the us it is illegal for a publically traded company to not find more ways to create profit.
a CEO is liable if he does not find ways to not just increaas profits but also find new ways to proft.
just earing enough is literally illegal.
and yes, you can blame shlomo for that. literally.
look up the court case of henry ford vs ford shareholders.

It definitely funneled people towards the MOBA, both because that's the main one and because characters in the show come from that. Riot could've easily added cinematics of Jinx or whoever the fuck like the show and only showed them to those who played enough games. Their half-measure is a failure of brand integration and instead led to people who like the show but not what it's based on.

Riot mmo is going to fail because the lore for the actual world is fucking ass and garbage, as much as the troons that play wow on twitch will try to convince you otherwise lore and story are probably the most important parts of an mmo, if you want players to spend hours a day for 10+ years in your world you need a decent enough atmosphere to keep people invested and Runeterra simply isn't it, completely deleting their entire first 10ish years of lore for this halfbaked reboot that has never fully materialized was the beginning of the end for a larger franchise for riot, a mistake made so long ago at this point that they probably don't even realize how bad things are

This, but because the visuals and music were so good, it got idiots thinking the story is good. Season one was someone gaggling keys in front of a baby.

>b-b-but investing that much money-- that HAS to have symbolic value!
yeah, to dumb consumers like (You) without an ounce of economic or business understanding, sure. and it speaks volumes that apparently nobody at riot could come up with products to bank off of the hype they got.

c'mon, even silco, who did have a mission in mind behind his drug empire, knew that profits matter.

No, it's pretty clear-cut and that dry. If the CEO isn't at least making *attempts* to increase profit, either by cutting costs, or increasing their consumer base, or increasing prices, or finding new markets to put energy in to, then they are liable for all "perceived" losses in revenue (IE: a greater sum of profits that are commiserate with the track record over previous years vs. what actions or inactions the CEO has done to create said loss) from every shareholder. Which sounds very easy to do on paper, but in practice even a rank-and-file lawyer can come up with any amount of "excuses" that preclude the CEO from being liable for it.

it's straight up fake or grossly exaggerated. the storyline for S2 was written with S1 by the same two main male writers, who also wrote all key episodes for both seasons.
several new writers "wrote" the actual dialogues of the padding episodes of S2.
that "one woman" got a promotion between seasons (she's still not main wirter) but retards keep repeating the baltant lie that she's responsible for everything just because just like any woman who did a bit of work in a group team she's ten times more vocal about it on Reddit and Xitter, especially about the pandering relationships for which she claims personal credit (even though those were already there in S1).

tl;dr that one woman only made the gay show gayer. the rest of the main story was handled by the same guys in both S1 and S2, bad and good parts alike.

Black Council chick was fine in season 1, the problem was having her as anything other than a supporting character to Jayce. We should've gotten proper Machine Herald Viktor and the black chick trying and failing to prevent the civil war.

The problem is that the civil war got stopped in the first three episodes.

i don't care who takes the credit for the writing. there's a huge cliff parting the writing styles between both seasons. clearly the writers who had huge influence in S1 were not present for S2 anymore.

I really don't get the hate for s2. Besides Vi continuing to value pussy over her own sister in every situation the story was great. With the episode where Ekko is trapped in the good timeline a clear standout.
Arcane was never going to cause a LoL renaissance. Besides the game being nothing like the show, the game is so unbelievably bad that even when Arcane convinces some normoid to give the game a shot they run screaming from the amount they have to learn to just get started, or from the shitty players themselves, or from it's clusterfuck of mishmashed theming from all the skin lines, or from it's impenetrably bad readability etc etc.

Arcane was a good show based on a bad game. Unless you actually have reasons the show was bad, don't reply.

The black chick should've died in the explosion. Jayce should've become the Hitler. Victor should've been disheartened by jayce's action and piltover attitudes toward undercity when the only one to blame for the incident was Jinx. The injuries he'd sustain from the explosion should have pushed him further into machine herald role. Caitlyn should've been trying to prevent the civil war. Jinx should've become a terrorist boming Piltover indiscriminately. Vi should've had no choice but to put her down. Undercity should've clashed with Piltover in a bloody civil war. Srvika should've been one of the figure heads of the revolution

>>733658091
what? Did you just made that up your ass or what? Linke and Yee literally worked on the creation of some of these characters for League. They were Riot employees way before Arcane was even a thing. Hell, the only reason Heimer made it in was because it's Linke's main champion and favorite.

Also Riot worked on both Jinx and Ekko original cinematics so they're pretty attached to them.

graphics alone don't keep people hyped up for multiple years until the next season. the writing wasn't perfect but it was coherent and character-driven. season 2 relies on characters being conveniently stupid or random shit happening to follow the story because the writers couldn't come up with story arcs at all, and they're even more hopeless at tying them together into an overarching coherent plotline.

rule of thumb was - if the first 3 episodes of the first season don't interest you, drop the show. if you like it, watch the rest.

but only season 1. avoid season 2 at all cost (unless you're a tranny, or aspire to become one).

Isha was there just so Jinx could have depression again, it was fucking transparent, they even made her a deafmute so they didn't have to write dialog for her.
The spy-cop was there because they needed an excuse for the dykes to get back together so the big bad masterminded a plan to have the dykes beat up and cheat on each other.

it was literally the same in season 1. both arc 1 and arc 2 end with massive coincidences (Marcus and then the Firelights kidnapping Vi at the precise moment so she don't have the time to talk things through with Powder). but most people are campfags so they conveniently forget how much the conflict between the sisters is maintained by coincidences and gross misunderstandings. and then they complain when the exact same techniques are used on S2 to bring them back together.
>>
>>733661598
>S8 was 70% what the book would have been
I think every major plot point is what the book (or likely bookS, WoW and DoS) would have been but the connective tissue and execution wouldn't have been as retarded. Dany would lose two of her dragons but it wouldn't be as comical as "a secret ambush fleet of dragonkiller ships was hiding behind a rock"
GRRM is lazy though and felt like he would be re-convincing people that already hated the ideas that they could be better if he wrote them, and at that point why bother
the only plot point in S7-S8 that I think was unsalvageable even by GRRM was Jaime reneging on his entire character arc, the rest makes sense if you give it more time and justification (like Mad Queen Dany making more sense with fAegon in the books)
>>
>>733661429
not that you are actually advocating for ratings but just on the topic, ratings are more meaningless than ever now a days. not that they ever had that much value but at least there used to be this general consensus of a ~6-9 range where normies put bad stuff at 6 and good stuff at 9 and it tended to be okay at estimating quality. but now a days it feels like the rating scale is like 7.5-10 where everything bad is at lowest a 7.5 like fucking IGN, and anything even slightly good gets a 9 at minimum. just due to the sheer fucking quantity of people on this planet watching and rating things, and rating them only on how "cool" it "feels" rather than how good it actually is. you've heard the phrases before, aura and hype moments, that's what they care about. objectively it would be absolute insanity for a show to consistently score >9/10 per episode, let alone overall, but it being the norm just proves the uselessness of it all.

marcus was set up in the story. he was a gloryhound who wanted to solve this huge case of undercity trash bombing the apartment of piltie royalty to get a promotion, more status, whatever. when greyson refused because she made a deal with vander to go easy on the undercity, marcus struck out on his own. and meets silco during his investigations and strikes a deal with him that backfires hard.

ekko appearing to kidnap vi and cait was plot-convenience but that's alright. it's plausible for him to be scouting what's happening in the lanes from the shadows, and it served the purpose of preventing vi and jinx from reaching reconciliation. or preventing jinx's killing of vi, of course.

Arcane Season 2 introduced and spent an entire episode in the last act on an Alternate Universe that has no effect on the plot entirely and explicitly to write scenes where Jinx and Ekko are close to each other because the writers forgot that those two were supposed to have grown up together, they needed to have history together for the story to have emotional weight, and the only scene showing that in all of Arcane up to that point was a shot in the music video for Imagine Dragon's "Enemy".

I genuinely can't comprehend how bad you have to be at telling a story to back yourself into that corner, and decide THAT was the best and most appropriate solution.
>>
>>733662767
nobody said s1's writing is perfect. but the writing doesn't have loopholes that you're just supposed to fill in your head with whatever you want.

we know ekko has his own little gang in the undercity. we know that they're the underdogs who don't stand much of a chance against silco and the other chembarons. we know that he was watching and following vi and cait before they link up with jinx.

isha falls from the sky, shares a few minutes with jinx, and suddenly jinx is her mother figure. cool story bro.
>>
>>733662490
they still want to be together anymore in s1. even their separation was just Vi throwing an obviously temporary fit in extreme circumstances, conveniently made permanent for years by a random guy she never met and didn't see coming, who kidnapped her at that precise moment.

iirc, the "bridging the rift" behind the scenes series to arcane mentioned that they relied hard on her for writing dialogue. or maybe she bootlicked hard to get what could have been a long-term good standing with a huge gaming company that might have more work opportunities for her in the future.

> re-convincing people that already hated the ideas that they could be better if he wrote them, and at that point why bother
I feel that's what his biggest issue is at the moment, having to scrap and re-write a huge portion of your work trying to make up for something people hated has to take a lot out of you and in some ways I can see him just not really dedicating his time on it as he used to (as in, it will be out when it's out, I'm working on other projects)

The two retarded showrunners(who actually work for Riot) credit her as "saving Arcane" because she taught them the basics on how to structure a script, so they gave her carte blanche for season 2 and she used that to push what she really liked:

The true story I already got when the show aired.

These guys were the real reason the first season was even decent.
I watched their interview with broken english subtitles and they explain how they kept fighting with the american producers during S1 because the story was kind of retarded and they wanted to handle everything in the US (storyboarding, editing, directing).
They took the liberty of reckoning a lot of the original script in they storyboard.

Sadly they left Fortiche and made their own 2D studio after S1:

Season 1 of Arcane was great.
Season 2 rushed a lot of the plotlines at the end to wrap up in preparation for their Noxus game integration bullshit.

Season 2 would have been much better if they left half the Noxus stuff as setup for layer, and simply given more focus to humanizing the Jayce/Viktor plot instead of that going hyper fantasy/sci-fi out of nowhere and not getting near enough screen time to resolve in a satisfactory way.

My prediction for their next animated series is that whatever setup Season 1 they are for it again will be really great, and then they will fail to write a satisfying ending again. But hey. Endings as hard to write. Plan them out sooner idiot writers.

nta but yeah its true men don't need an exact copy of themselves to self insert but at the same time when there's nothing but freakshit around them there does need to be at least one "normal" character they can ground themselves to

I think Arcane was successful in showing that if they make a Runeterra based multimedia project, people will be interested enough to follow and watch it. This opens up the setting to be used more broadly.

Obviously the next big thing for Riot is the MMO. They know League has a terrible reputation for new players. And making a League 2 would fail harder than Overwatch 2 did. So they're just need to build up the old League fans and new animated shows fans to stay excited with the Runeterra world until the MMO launches, which is where they can make back all their investments with cash shop outfits and skins galore.

on the contrary, this is one of the most retarded plots of S1. In their first appearance, Ekko's gang completely subdue Silco's second in command easily. If they wanted to, they could've killed her right there. And later it is established this wasn't the first time this happened, which means Ekko would completely own Silco if it wasn't because for some reason he and his gang drop 100 levels in IQ whenever Jinx appears.

Lots of reasons. Almost every single song of theirs is an anthem. Most songs are just clap stomp clap. A song being catchy in modern times doesn't mean it's good, because almost the entire music industry is build on the idea of producing something catchy. It's like praising a car for being able to move. There's no layers to it, no artistry, it's like a computer algorithm made the songs for them (which btw isn't too far from the truth), which is why they all sound the same.

The lead singer is also a HUGE fag who constantly talks about how important it is to support homos and trannies.

Season 2 already had half of the production (3 compared to 6 years it took for Season 1) by not planning out the story and just throwing shit on the wall.
Season 2's critical success despite the poor story showed that a good story is not required anyway, so they can rush even more as long as they dangle the shipping- and capeslop keys in front of the audience.
Outsource the animation for the intermediate frames to a few Korean Studios and it is doable.

The most likely explanation is that they ran out of time to resolve the love triangle, so they just made her a spy as a last minute resort.
Maddie is not Noxian (too skinny and has none of the typical Noxian personality traits) and appears to have been part of the Peacekeepers for some time at least. There is no reason for Noxia to send a random spy to become a low ranking police officer without any purpose.
Maddie just became significant because the plot required Cait to have a quirky strike team for her hunt for Jinx.
If you want a fan theory, you can headcanon her betrayal as revenge for Caitlin getting back with Vi or her having a burning hatred for Zone which led to her becoming a fascist and admiring the Noxian martial culture after decades of Piltover being weak.

Everyone in the show is, but especially those two. It's chuuni as fuck and the MCs are written as if they're aware they're being filmed and witnessed, and have to prepare an epic one-liner before going Rock Lee on the baddies. Basically the female version of pic related.
>>
>>733673473
But that's just fanon, Maddie is almost a non-character to serve as window dressing like Fishface and the alcoholic Shieldman. Outside of her relationship with Vi, she could have been replaced with a faceless enforcer in Gasmask, would probably have attracted even a larger shipping base, given how other masked characters (the German from COD or slasher villains) gain widespread love from female fans.

She has quite the nice design though, the fascist tomboy aesthetic is quite kino. Overall I liked the superficial premise of an elite team of enforcers beating up thugs and wannabe revolutionaries.
Too bad it was wasted on such a bad show, as simple and self-indulgent as it is, it would have been much better than what we ended up with

It wasn't at all difficult to believe Maddie was corruptible given Silco had also the Captain in his pay. Mel's mom ALSO converted Cait towards her thinking. Piltover/Zaun were not thriving democracies; they were highly meritorious like look at the council - they either had proven talent and/or inherited the positions.

This wasn't the most difficult thing about the story. Maybe difficult isn't the right word, what I mean is the dumbfuckery of the fact that the story was just a time travel story.

I've only heard the Enemy song, but it's the kind of song that manages to be both catchy and annoying at the same time.

I agree, Cait should have had a fucking great character arc that ran throughout the entire season instead of doing away with in one episode because

Thr problem is we have seen nothing. With Markus we saw how Silko bribed and threatened him, we saw a glimpse of his character, his motivations and he actually was a relevant part of the plot. It was superficial, but at least it felt like he was a character.
Maddie was just a cute tomboy being part of Caitlin's striketeam only to switch sides in the last moment. She can be replaced by a random faceless enforcer and nothing would change, not even the love triangle constellation except for Caitlon being bi rather than lesbian.
You can headcanon anything into her because she is a blank-slate, that doesn't justify the writer's fuckup.

She should have actually killed some poorshit minorities on screen and get away with it at the end just to rile up the twitternogs

You're right, I see it was shittier writing than I initially felt. Thank you.

My brain just shut down for the last two episodes after the time travel shit and it just got worse and worse like I can't fucking believe Viktor was just handing baby-Jayce runes until shit worked. I only watched the season once because it was just too fucking bad and /co/ was actually completely useless because they loved it and refused to actually accept any negative criticism.

I think Arcane S2 broke me. It was the most colossal fuck up to a basically perfect S1 in the history of fiction.

I agree
Notice how all muh hecking police brutalerino lasts for half an episode + the music video, they couldn't even commit to that
Then they introduce the Noxian nogs so they can shift all hecking oppression duties to Mel's mom

Why do people (read: women) think Victor and Jayce were gay for each other.

Because Fortiche made their scenes romantic as all fuck. Shit was top-shelf fujo bait and Riot is mad retarded for not capitalizing the opportunity for fujobucks.
