But they both didn't have a scratch on them. Nothing more than smoke and dust.

2024-11-10 19:55:12 +0000 UTCYou have an interesting thought there, with Mel hinding something...🤔 I'll keep that in mind for the future episodes. On the other hand, not all councillors have been killed and with Viktor at least one main character was in mortal danger after the attack. And if I saw it right, it wass Jayce shielding Mel from the explosion, not the other way around, but I am not sure of that...🤔🙂

2024-11-10 19:03:13 +0000 UTCFinally... Arcane is back! 😊 I was expecting to cry, but not right from the start. My heart broke into a million pieces for Caitlyn during the burial. 😭💔 Thoughts and observations (coming from someone who still doesn't know any lore of the game): - It seems we overestimated the power of Jinx' bombs once again. There seemed to be no special protection for Mel or Viktor, it was just sheer luck who got hit by the falling debris and the pieces of glass and shrapnels and who not. - Hoskel, Bolbok and of course Cassandra Kiramman and several enforcers were killed. - In his (successful) attempt to save Viktors life, Jayce merged him with the hexcore he promised to destroy and so did the exact opposite of what was Viktors dying wish. 🤔🙈 The things we do for love. (For me a close friendship like theirs is a kind of love 😊) - The opening credits: -- Done in the style of a greek play -- Vi smears her Name off her cheek, she doesn't seem to want to be herself anymore, at least not this version -- Jinx first finger shooting and than waving a big flag -- Ekko "dancing" to not get hit -- Viktor in a robe kind of like a prophet, puts on a mask -- Ambessa in an emperors pose, a black flower (looks like a rose) in her hand...🤔 -- A "dark" Caitlyn, high closed shirt and her hair put back in a ponytail and an expression of anger, grief and worry on her face 🙈 and later clashing with Vi (this worries me...😭🙈) -- What hands are this reaching for Mel? And her too with a black rose. Maybe this is a symbol of an enemy of the Medardas or it symbolizes bad luck? -- The sheriffs badge and Caitlyn seemingly struggling with herself (I'm even more worried that this could mean that she does damage she later regrets...😨) -- The last picture, Jayce blinded by the Arcane (literally😂). So powerful. - Ambessa standing behind councillor Salo is such a meaningful picture. He is not the brightest bulb to begin with and she uses hid pain and grief to get a grip on the council. I think she will try to manipulate them to get open war and to hextech technology. What she didn't take into account was Caitlyn and the power her name has. Everyone listened to her, despite her not being a councillor. - The airship is a mystery. Where would Jinx get such a ship? I think it belongs to Ambessa or one of the chembarons...🤔 - What is that black bow everyone wore at the memorial? That came with the invitations? 🤔 - Poor Caitlyn, so much pressure lasts on her. She is grieving, feels guilty, is angry and so so hurt and she is expected to to lead the House Kiramman...🙈 - I wonder if we get more backstory on the drunk Enforcer. He has strong Vander vibes. That's probably why Vi gets along with him. Maybe he got shitfaced (pardon my language 😅) because he lost close friends in the squad. Maybe thats why he asked if she lost someone in the attack too? And she did, she lost Powder...😭 - I wonder what will become of Viktor now - Caitlyn seems to walk down a dangerous path. She's obsessed with killing Jinx. Very understandable, but in the scene with Jayce she gets consumed by her revenge fantasy...😨 - It speaks volumes of the influence Cait has on Vi, that she did join the enforcers in the end, after she heard what Cait said and did to vouch for her...💖 - I wonder if Ambessa is the one that helped Renny to attack the memorial, because she was too conveniently there in the last second to save the day with her soldiers...🤔😏 - After the attack, Caitlyns eye is red and get's closely examined. I wonder if this was just a precaution or there was something in the smoke that effects them. - The badge Vi gets from Caitlyn - is it just an enforcers badge or more? Because I only ever saw Grayson wear this badge in season 1 and she was the sheriff. You could think Cait as the leader of their special ops team would wear it, but she gave it to Vi...🤔 - What does Singed want with the wolves and what was the green smoke he had with him? So much happened in this episode. It easily holds season one's level of story telling and even ups the visuals one or two notches...😱😱 The music is so great again...🙌🏻 On to episode 2...🤩

2024-11-10 18:59:18 +0000 UTCMaybe I'm reading into it too much, but I feel like Mel is hiding something. We saw at the end of season 1 her golden... accessory on her back alerted her to the attack. And it briefly happened again in this episode at her speech. Plus when Jace mentions that its so crazy that he made it without a scratch, she just sort of moves past it and changes the subject. I think Mel has some magic or something up her sleeve that allowed her to protect herself and Jace from the blast. It killed or maimed all the other councilors, yet our main characters are safe? This show has better writing than that. Also making my prediction now that Ambessa is the mole.

2024-11-10 17:23:23 +0000 UTCYou say Jayce didn't use the hexcore as if he didn't bring Victor to it and then plug it into him with massive pincers :D

2024-11-10 13:45:27 +0000 UTCHonestly, I too had problems with Act 1 of season 2 but have grown to like them more upon re-watch. I still think the story/pacing is a little over the pace, and find the use of musical scenes to be a bit too excessive, but overall I still enjoyed them. However, I have to agree with Cyber in addressing your criticisms. Cait and Vi brought those three enforcers with them because they proved themselves in the fight with battle with the chemtanks. Sure we don't really know who they are, but I don't think we need to from the get go. Also Jayce agrees with Caits' plan because he builds them all new hextech gear. Obviously he doesn't want to get involved directly because of what happened last time he went down into Zaun.
ThirdStrikeSeanado
2024-11-10 13:42:51 +0000 UTCAgain, 1- it's not just about him being a random drunkard, he was also there during the attack and was seen fighting the chemtech creatures, along with maddie and her axe-wielding superviser. If you're asking about tactics? i'd take the person who we saw drinking (although he was fully lucid and paying attention to vi's drunken ramblings, which means he's perceptive and calculated) and i'd take those 3 that we SAW fighting against zaun vs others that could be housing a traitor.. They KNOW there's a traitor up there because someone's leaking info to zaun, they didnt know it was ambessa and her crew, so any piltie cop could be on silco's payroll (like the sheriff), and vi's interactions with the trio, the same trio that we saw standing WITH cait when they were about to be attacked and surrounded? I'd take those 3 over some random other piltie that could be a traitor or on a payroll... Just because the show didn't have time to spend time right now with these characters doesn't they're not important... In season 1 we barely spent 1 episode with Ekko as a KID before we saw him being a LEADER OF THE FIRELIGHTS later, completely skipping any world building with him and we only learned it as narrative. And even viktor completely stealing jayce's book from heim's lab and working with jayce. We didn't know anything about him from the story of arcane itself and he is crucial to the story now, all we knew was that he was a "cripple from the undercity and worked his way to become assistant to heimerdinger", hell we didn't even get a name drop of Viktor under the very last scene with him and jayce after jayce's jumpin attempt... So just because we don't know much about drinking buddy guy doesn't mean he's not important... We even saw him leave towards the end when he wasn't in line with caitlyn and ambessa going martial law, he might be a pivotal part that works with Vi later, similar to a protective figure like vander to vi, or maybe similar to a colleague in trouble, like viktor to jayce. You are trying to force any suspension of disbelief or "we'll fill these story gaps later" as "lazy writing", and that's insulting to the writers and a bit dismissive. They showed the story behind the "grey" and the key vault in THREE separate parts in this arc 1, once in each episode, and each time they elaborated more on it. Had you watched only 1 episode at a time you'd be complaining that the show did a cut away and we didnt know anything about the kiramman reveals. You're trying to rush things that can be explained later to keep the pacing of multiple story lines in a 35 minutes episode... relax, take a breather. 2- I'm not gonna get into this whole war thing with you, but let's just say that the current world events say otherwise. Both in eastern europe and in middle east. What you are suggesting sounds like a child's interpretation of a comic book war that gets resolved in a chapter, without talking about the ramifications world wide and the pushback you'll get from all sides. Going into war is NEVER the right solution. NO ONE wins in war, that's the whole point of season 1, people got too hot headed at all times, asking to rush "aggressive" answers (like marcus rushing into the lanes) and silco's shimmer goons, and all it does is make things explode... maybe something good comes out of resolutions, but it's never not something bad. People always get hurt, and vi/cait want to reduce casualties... like the people that ekko was trying to protect... and not just kill everyone on sight like the angry enforcers pushed by council and noxians. 3- I'll give u the fact that the sevika/jinx fight in the alley was over the top, but again, that's by design. You can even see sevika looking at jinx "like seriously?" and jinx looking back at her like "what? lol". Is it over the top? yes. Is it intentional? yes. It's not supposed to be just a bad ass moment, it's supposed to be over the top because jinx's over the top. but anyway, i get it, it took me 2 watches to catch all the nuances of that scene there, so i wont pushback on that one. 4- the kid is clearly the symbol, and you don't need to hear words saying "hey vi please dont shoot the kid he's a symbol of our innocence." , you can use the brain powers that humans have to derive that and even just look at the facial expressions lol. ps: i dont mean that in a mean way, i mean that in a logical way: the show spent a lot on making sure facial expressions and microexpressions of characters and hesitation twitches are clear. You can read their body language without it being narratively said out loud. Maybe it's something you're not able to do, if that's the case, then i agree that it might sound like it's missing elaboration on your part, but i still think you're either trying to nitpick to be a contrarian here, or you're not seeing the context and you rely on the narration to understand social and body language queues... which, again, i totally understand that not everyone gets that, but i feel bad for those who don't, because i for one took a long time to understand them and obliviousness sucks until you learn to break down the little things and infer implications, instead of people telling u in words how they SHOULD feel vs how they DO feel. 5- Jayce totally used the hexcore. Viktor could have easily died away from the lab, and jayce saw the core and viktor almost resonating to eachother, he INTENTIONALLY grabbed the core with the big grippers and brought it to viktor and recognized that it would do SOMETHING to him. He already knew it had some sort of healing or fixing properties from viktor's earlier experiments with the plants, and used viktor's notes on his leg experiment to make a gun-hoe shot in the dark and bring the core to him. He could have simply let viktor die, take him to an infirmary or he could even have tried to destroy the hexcore or stop viktor from his evolution cocoon thing. He did none of those and explicitly went against viktor's asks to stop trying to save his life and to destroy the hexcore. "we lost himself, lost our dream, in the pursuit of great, we failed to do good, we have to make this right", and part of that was stopping the use of hexcore because of what it did to sky. Do i blame jayce for not listening to viktor? absolutely not, it's human to try to save ur friend that u love, and do i blame viktor for being dismissive of the fact that jayce went against his explicit wish? also no. People have asked to not be ressucitated from comas or injuries before, and i've seen people who woke up missing a limb and wishing they were dead instead of having to deal with the injury or pain, and viktor's clearly had a lot of changes to him too.. again, jayce could have easily not done anything. Easily in terms of objective choices, but definitely not "easy" in terms of subjective choices... it was attachment to viktor that made him break his promise. Attachment and emotions are something that viktor wont understand now. 6- Fair enoug about the music, I don't like hip hop or edm either. I'm a hard stuck nerd who likes his anime music and classical music, but i'm saying that their use is intentional. You are free to like or not like it. Personally i dont like the song from S1 E7 "The boy savior" and the "i declare war" song. I hate with a passion but i wont go blaming it on lazy writing... 7- You keep complaining about things that dont need to be complained about, like jinx building that thing in 10s arcane time.. bro she built an entire rocket that leveled the council and started the entire events of this season 2 and she built ALL OF THAT off screen in season 1. They have 35 minutes to do a lot of things, and you're complaining we didn't spend 10 minutes of that time ( a third of that time) on building a stupid arm for sevika? Are you intentionally trying to troll at this point? because come ON, you cannot be nitpicking about this... We know she's smart and techie, and it was enough for us to understand that she dismantled something and built an arm for sevika which we saw in action on what she used it for... And what do you mean jinx is not a good engineer? She literally managed to reverse engineer some of jayce's notes and setup an arcane infused big jaws missle and we saw her build so many contraptions before, she's been shown to be a techie since episode 1, including fixing the arcade altogether (the SAME arcade that she broke apart to build the arm, so she knows those components by heart!) i mean... it's fine, you're nitpicking at this point, This is NOT lazy writing, this is personal opinion, and i'll respect your personal opinion, but i was a bit put off by the generic dismissive "lazy writing" comment... I've seen lazy writing all over star wars, she hulk, secret invasion, the rings of power, etc, and you calling this lazy writing is cringe in itself. Call it "i didn't like it because my opinion says i didn't like it, because it's my personal opinion" and THAT IS 100% perfectly fine and i'll respect it... but don't insult other people's hard work when you are grasping at straws. And that's coming from someone who hates Riot with absolute passion and constantly bash on that company daily. 8- you're back on the crigne note about sevika's fight, you mentioned it multiple times now so it clearly didnt agree with you, and that's fine, keep it cringe for yourself. I get it, but you're being redundant about the same scene. 9- also, i'm not mega coping. I dislike some things in arcane in the way that they were missed but i dont go about it as if my opinion is absolutely right or wrong. Even here, i'm telling you that i agree with your sentiments about some stuff, like the music and over topness, but im not coping, i'm being clear that i dislike it when people over generalize an opinion and claim it to be fact. We've had enough of that "my opinion is a fact and not an opinion" thing happening across the world in the last few weeks, and i'm trying to find a compromise with your opinion, and even helped break down some stuff FOR YOU to help see if you missed something in your opinion... Now i see that you didn't miss things by accident, you are clearly intentionally ignoring things. And somehow that feels less interesting to me to follow up on, so enjoy your opinion, but i won't be trying to explain things again. That being said, enjoy your weekend and have yourself a wonderful day bud.

2024-11-10 13:05:05 +0000 UTCBro you re mega coping with the series to my opinion even if that dude is enforcer it doesn't matter. There is no background for him still not explaining why he is coming to a spceial operation (Btw he is a person with drinking disorder you dont want that kind of guy in any opertation) Of course there will be casualties if they invade zaun. It is a war. Zaunite "terrorists" coming piltover and killing innocent people. Jinx bombing the city for god sakes. In the end of the episode 3 they decide to invade zaun anyway btw you don't need to wait for 4 5 terrorism attack to fight for your country. You counter attack immediatly with all your strength and lets say its better to go there with a few people why 5 person and why that 5 person there is more qualified persons in piltover for that and where is Jayce in all this. People taking decisions without asking anything to jayce and jayce okay with it since he is reading book in his lab with ekko while there is literal war going on in his country. I understand the symbolism behind the kid it still doesn't change how silly is the vi cait and sevikha jinx fight is. Vi can secure kids safety and deal with jinx. Jinx getting away in that scene is very lazy writing and did not changing the fact that there is literally not any scene jinx bounding with that kid (she might be symbol to them that is not explained well enough and not explain their relationship) About viktor - jayce scene you missing a fact that Jayce didn't event use the hexcore. Hexcore automatically fused with viktor. Why jayce is not telling that to viktor instead of yelling him nonsense. There is not always a choice when evolving hexcore automatically fusing with you :D Musics are still bad. Thats my opinion and most of them are hip hop or edm songs and not matching with the scenes. Bro I understand that jinx not making that in 10 seconds in arcane time. She is doing it in 10 seconds for screen time. Still with which material and I am not sure about that jinx is that good of an engineer. Even if we say that is ok that arm and fight scene is very cringe.

2024-11-10 11:19:39 +0000 UTCFastest pick on the chembaroness in disguise I have seen so far: 😉👍 What a start! The interesting flowers in the intro got me already off my chair, directly followed by tearing up with Caitlyn. 5 mins in and the emotional rollercoaster was already at full speed. Best show ever. Period!
MasterOfPuppets
2024-11-10 09:10:25 +0000 UTCyou are completely missing a lot of the context here then. 1- random dude and dudette? all 3 of them are enforcers, even the drinking buddy dude. he's literally wearing the enforcer coat when he was drinking. The random kid hovering jinx is a symbol in itself, you're not a named big shot like Vander or a councelor, kids are idolizing jinx and her symbol of a revolution and life savior (literally in this kid's situation), when everyone else seems not on your side. That kid represents the innocents of Zaun that are being caught in the crossfire, and its similar to the kids on the roof watching explosions across piltover, and it's similar to the kids in piltover that are being caught in the crossfire too. they represent what powder and vi thought they were in their innocent years before they had to grow up abruptly. They're children of the forest, and they're having a hard time getting out of the forest, and it's up to the adults to shoulder the sins of the past instead of repeating the cycle (some AoT similarities there). So no, they're not random. The random dude being down on his luck as an enforcer being there as an ear to listen, the girl maddie and her supervisor being a bridge that not everyone in the enforcer is bad, especially when cait is becoming slightly unhinged due to her mother's death and obsession with jinx. 2- Why wait for ambessa and doing systematic invasion? Did you miss the whole plot? Vi and Cait know that if the enforcers invade fully, not only are the enforcers playing against their turf and casualties will happen there more than usual, but also children and innocent zaunites will also get hurt from the invasion. It's the equivalent of the country sending a seal team or special forces to infiltrate and take out a high priority target or achieve a goal without a full scale war invasion that cannot be undone, not to mention that asking a third party (noxus) to be that face of the invasion undermines piltover, except the last scene, cait thinks she's in charge when she's being played. Why do you think cait's key thing was a story line? it unlocked the concept to caitlyn and vi that if they flood gas into the under city (the grey) that her mom helped built, it would force people out of the specific areas where cait's special forces team are going in (with masks) to reduce casualties of random innocents deciding to go into the grey... That is 100% a good military tactic to infiltrate and take out jinx, dismantle shimmer operations and take out silco's goons so that THEN the piltover enforcers can walk in and recreate some sense of order without immense pushback from silco fanatics (they're underestimating that the innocents themselves are so down on their luck that they're willing to do anything to survive, such as Huck, the shimmer glasses guy that viktor saved). 3- Viktor and Jayce, you AGAIN miss the entire point: they don't actually get into a fight. JAYCE gets heated about the situation, but viktor is COLD (not in the physical sense, as he described himself, but COLD emotionally, he's calculated, almost... distant, not exactly all there, he's talking like he's in a fog and it's all muffled in terms of emotional sympathy, and THAT is why he leaves. He's logically saying that jayce and viktor have different paths from a while back, and that the viktor he knew would have stayed and at least argued about the right or wrong of what jayce had to do (THERE IS ALWAYS A CHOICE after all, like viktor said), but THIS viktor is cold, he's almost apathetic, almost like a bot/robot, a glorious transcended thinking, where certain character from AoT too (if you know u know), and other shows, if you get to a level of ascension or breakdown of focusing on the MISSION, and nothing else, you become apathetic of the casualties or even feelings of these puny mortals. Viktor leaving without elaborating when jayce is actively pushing him to fight him, is actually good writing, because this hexcore-viktor just doesn't care that much about the triviality of emotions, but sees pain and suffering as "negative impulses, almost unpleasant", and what he does at the end with huck like a prophet is almost a double edged sword, because he didnt do it because he cared about huck, he saw people emitting negativity, and let's just say that this viktor is not afraid to destroy, then improve. It's actually very on part with what his path is currently blurrily going to.. it's not lazy writing, it's writing by omission. They do that a lot in this show, and then fill the blanks later. 4- Vi trying to stop cait. Do you not realize how fast caitlyn has been pulling this trigger? They literally showed you a few scenes in the past where she's constantly FANTASIZING about shooting jinx, and getting constantly emotionally ready to show without question (When jayce snapped her out of a mental state), and then she's seen heavy breathing and literally snapping and shooting a dummy game target because she can't find jinx. Caitlyn barely hesitated to shoot jinx's finger when vi was in the way, and she didnt even take time to aim when she shot the kid's gun in front of vi's face, you can even see the burn mark on vi's face from the forced barel backfire impact. If Vi even tries to pull the kid off and the kid twitches back, or accidentally covers jinx, the kid can get hurt. Vi even states to caitlyn later that her focus was more on the fact that she didnt HAVE to stop cait, and she was shocked that caitlyn was being merciless and that's why she was in the way, she wasn't just saving the kid and jinx, she was saving cait herself from pulling a trigger that might hurt a kid (if she misses, because cait's being WAY too overconfident that she wont miss and not thinkign clearly... even the best shots and snipers in the world can miss or the gun can backfire or malfunction.. WE LITERALLY SAW THE GUN and GAUNTLETS malfunction because of hextech, and if it malfunctioned there, the kid can die too and cait would never forgive herself, even if she got jinx). Vi literally is trying to keep the peace and was even about to hit jinx herself if she had to, even with hesitations, but she is realizing that the kid's an innocent party that seems jinx as a savior because they're all hurt and oppressed, and cait's acting like that oppressor in this very moment and cementing the hate between them, even willing to shoot near the kid as long as she kids jinx.. something the council would have done easily... and hence why she's kinda filling that martial law lead now and being apathetic.. she needs to be saved from herself... So no, you are again completely missing the point of hte scene, it's not about cait shooting Jinx, it's about the context aroudn what this cycle of violence is doing to people, and that it's repeating itself. And that it's almost like it's all rigged... it's not lazy writing, again, it's context by omission. 5- What are you even on about with regards to the weapon? Jinx didn't just built it in 10 seconds, did you completely miss the entire fast-forwarded scene where she spent probably HOURS in a time lapse (multiple jinx flashes in different spots, breaking apart the fighting simulation and used it to give it to sevika?) She didn't JUST built that entire thing in 10 seconds, she had it in a bow and everything and giving it to sevika, and OF COURSE it was flashy and annoying, Jinx was fixing something for sevika because she could, but even her trinkets like her bombs and graffity and her wind tunnel exploision things are colorful and flashy because she's LIKE THAT, and you can bet everything that jinx would not "tame that" especially for sevika, she probably thought that even if it's a good gesture, it's not like sevika is her best friend, jinx just wanted to get her brain working on something to distract herself from her own pain, and she probably thought that giving this arm to sevika can fix her problem, but would also be hilarious to watch sevika suffer from the over-flashiness of the arm, especially for a woman who likes to stay low normally and wear ponchos, why do you think she even put jinx's own sound track on it for the lols, it's LITERALLY telling you a lot about jinx's connection with sevika and her mindset, she wants to be useful, but she's not a savior or a good person, she's flawed and her craziness will always come out on top whenever she gets to be flashy. Again, you seem like you didn't even watch the show. 6- the soundtrack is decent, heavy is the crown is made for league and it's i think a lincoln park new track ? what do you mean hip hop? there were 2 sounds at the start all melancolic and sad and voice overs only, even the heavy is the crown soundtrack was only vocalized at first and not high beat until vi's enforcer outfit reveal (Again, intentionally). And the song where it's all action and hype when the strike team with caitlin go into the sewers, that sounds like one of those tropes where they make u feel like a scene is all hype and exciting and action and "yeahhhh let's do this we are the best and we are the good guys fuck shit upppp" and it's meant to be with high beat to make u feel like you're getting a hype moment, only to be met immediately with the silence of the grey after, showing you that it's not hyped at all, but a toxic environment, literally, and it's seen like a the strike force is the boogey man from the perspective of zaun. The show is doing a good job of not having to over explain everything for the majority and trusting the audience to have a few brain cells to put things together, I actually dislike it when shows OVER explain with narrative info dumps in the middle of moments (im looking at you jjk season 2 bs). They are doing the same right now with not explaining the context of the black rose, or the impact that hextech and arcane will have, or what singed (mad scientist) is actually doing, or going too deep into cassandra kiraman's notes and how even though she seemed distance from zaun, she was advocating to help providing them with better air than nothing, and zaunites (jinx) killed her eitherway. and they will loop back to those moments when the time is needed... Season 1's first 3 episodes were character introduction, and they had a lot more quiet time to have more narratives in place, and funny enough, people complained that the first 2 episodes were too slow, and the third episode is emotional drain with vander's story and powder kaboom, but the writing is not any weaker now vs before, there's just a lot of threads happening.

Adam McCabe
2024-11-10 05:13:55 +0000 UTCAnd one more thing that sevikha jinx fight against random thugs from zaun was very cringe. Like wtf is that arm. Doing random things like fireworks, playing a song, boxing glows, fire thrower... and jinx build that in like 10 secs with which materials? Personal opinion again I don't like the songs for the series. There is a lot of random hip hop songs. They dont match with the scenes. It feels like its not season 2 but random cool, dramatic edit videos for us to watch.

2024-11-10 04:58:45 +0000 UTCWell I don't know how many episodes did you watch. If you didn't watch all 3 spoiler alert than. My problem is there is a lot of lazy writing in the series. Random characters playing big parts in the series without any buildup (like that inforcer with a shield. He is literally a random guy from the street and the random kid that hovering around jinx.) Cait and Vi says we need a plan to act. We need to be careful if we want to deal with Jinx. Than they re going after jinx through whole zaun with random guy from the street and 2 random officers. Why dont you just wait for Ambessa or why they re not doing systematic invasion with all of piltover inforcers. There is a lot of drama bait in the series. Like with the scene between Jayce and Viktor. Viktor asks Jayce why did he save his life. Than they're randomly fighting instead of talking it through and than Viktor says farewell to Jayce and walking around zaun like some prophet. The most cringe one is Jinx Sevikha vs Cait Vi scene. That random kid jumping to Jinx for saving her (like who the fuck is he firstly there is no build up between him and jinx) than there is that meaningless scene between vi and cait. Vi dramatically try to stop cait instead of easily get rid of the kid. You have huge gauntlents. He is just a kid just hold him and push him aside than deal with jinx but no they re fighting each other and jinx run away again very lazy writing.
