Oddbean new post about login | logout I think Arcane season 2 is going to impact me like Game of Thrones. Masterpiece earlier seasons and then messy later seasons. Except instead of 8 seasons, it’s all gonna slam hard in just two seasons.
the later seasons of got were good until they fell off a cliff which made them retroactively not good
One cannot undo the depth and enjoyment of watching the earlier seasons of Game of Thrones based on the later seasons’ quality issues. The later seasons diminish the quality for the franchises as a whole but the earlier seasons remain masterpieces. Imo, regardless of how Arcane Season 2 plays out, the first season is a mostly self-contained masterpiece. The quality of the second season greatly impacts the franchise but can’t undo the quality of season 1, which had a three-year real world time pause between seasons. Amazing first season for years. So now I look to see if it’s maintained or impaired.
the end of episode 1 was Max top tier and it was never resolved. they gave you nothing. it's true the original experience can't be undone but damn them for ruining it for a Netflix contract that went nowhere afaik. I haven't given the prequel a shot yet. I can still taste the disappointment.
Look for a new 21 Pilots song at some point during the season.
Based on the spoiler leaks, probably.
It's nice to see the series getting some mainstream love.
They already had Imagine Dragons headline for season 1. They have monetary and media mainstream.
That's great. All I know is that my kid who love both Arcane and TOP cam running in to inform me of the exciting news. You're the only I've seen mention the show here.
Will be interesting to see how they close it out. The league universe is big and will continue on with other series. Kinda feels like anyone who is a champion in the game will get an auto pass for survival but maybe that's just what they want me to think.
I feel similarly about 'The Lord of the Rings'.
I recently watched Arcane thanks to your recommendation. It was brilliant. I’ve never watched a cartoon like it. It was so good it almost didn’t feel like a cartoon. Brilliant storyline, stunning animation and the characters were superb. I only found out last night that series 2 comes out next month. The trailer sets it up nicely!
