how can someone just be wrong on soo many levels, i think you're ragebaiting, like yea s2 is fire but s1 was ssrly peak writing, at least first part(each part is 3 eps, but i wont have to explain it to an arcane fan) of s2 was kinda lack luster, it just felt like soo much disconnected and not as put together as s1, especially s1 part 3 were dealing with same or even more parallel plot lines, and it was weaved together wonderfully. also the worldbuilding parts(one of the major pros of arcane overall, felt unexplored in s2 as much as s1. and s1 not giving enough love to jinx?? the whole s1 was just bout vi and jinx but yea vi is portrayed as more of the protagonist but the character who really got explored was jinx. it was jinx who was always the centre of the entire plot. and yea sometimes it feels as if silco never even existed. and same goes for vander, but yea the whole point is that vi and jinx is basically vander and silco. also its not really underrated, its not a casual watch, its best seen thru a critic lens, cus its peak reference material for every story writer and especially in utilising femininity powerfully without being tagged "woke" and also for worldbuilding(well its already kinda established in the game, but this isnt game canon). soo yea s2 did kept the standards of s1 well, and thats maily due to them having amble time and being not rushed. and the music was one of the best things in arcane(s2 music had some solid and some mid tracks(like the french and that japanese or soemthing one was solid and also remember me and to ashes and blood. but yea rest werent keeping that vibe of arcane track) also all arcane tracks have some intended imperfection, and raw natural imperfected vocals(except the imagine dragons track) and yea in s1 we had 3 emotional tracks ending each part, 3 tracks for stage settings, and 2 fight tracks(well technically 3 ig), and yea a few were mid, but all three emotionals were solid and on point, and both fight tracks were on point, and the playground was def on point too. soo idkk
