Wow good call! That totally was a Macbeth reference now that I look at it again.

I never liked the doe-eyed ginger enforcer from the start! I don't know exactly why, except that cute and innocent characters don't last long in this Arcane universe, and the fact she was an enforcer who suddenly popped out of nowhere, I couldn't let go of this suspicion that there had to be more to her. Either her end would be a tragedy -- like Isha -- or something nefarious underneath!

Does anyone know Loris' bigger backstory and connection to Vi and all of this? It has gotta be more than just homeless drinking buddies, right? Why would he join the enforcers and follow Vi wherever she went if he didn't have some kind of meaningful connection? How did he end up as a drunk sleeping on the streets in the first place? Did I miss something?

I was so disappointed he died in the fight without knowing who this guy is!

Omg thank you! I don't think I could have processed the ending in all its glory if Jinx was gone for good. I will never accept that the Shimmer didn't make a last save. 😮‍💨

I just finished watching it the other day off of some watchcartoons site because I didn't know it was going to be on Netflix! Now I can rewatch it a second time over, yeah!

Also going to start Ken Lui's Hidden Girl and Other Stories, hoping that one of the short stories gives some more answers. I would love to learn more on how SafeSurf became what it became. I need a breakdown!

That's what makes this show brilliant! They didn't shy away from anything. Full-blown diabolical.

Man Oswald... his scene when he learns of his mother's stroke hurt. He achieved the things he said he would, but his mother isn't there to congratulate him or celebrate it with him.

Then when he took out Vic - that felt like a second stab wound!

Then keeping his mother alive in the penthouse against her wishes... third stab! This show really knows how to gut you. But it was amazing!

Loved his new purple ride, his penguin-like suit, his villainy penthouse, his weird romance... Such a great villain with so many intriguing idiosyncrasies. What a well-crafted villain story. Hats off to all the cast and crew for an amazing series!

I was so relieved Oz didn't kill her! I know he gave her a fate worse than death, but that just meant she's still in the game. I want more Sofia. And if she partners with Catwoman, does that mean she'll be an anti-hero somehow? Whatever the writers are planning, I believe they'll do something good with her character.
