best character

Damn OP, go off.

I definitely agree that having caitlyn’s character take that dark turn is interesting. I would like it if she actually suffered consequences from the narrative about it tho. Like yes, on her part, its a morally grey, “lesser evil” choice to prevent the Noxian invasion. And arcane is full of morally grey characters and choices. But usually, the difference is that said moral-grayness is acknowledged in canon in some way. While we the viewers know what Caitlyn did was wrong/cruel/morally grey, she isnt actually punished for it. Nobody calls her out for it to any significance. While i dislike the “dictator cait” takes that come in tandem with writing off jinx and viktor’s actions, i can see why the phenomenon has arisen when the latter are punished for their actions while the former is really not.

to continue talking about why i believe the political commentary of arcane is flawed, i want to discuss how the piltover-zaun conflict not getting a satisfying resolution hurts caitvi’s writing as a couple. i want to talk about them specifically bc they’re the only endgame couple in arcane and the worst takes i see about the show’s political commentary usually comes from caitvi shippers. i will start by saying that i LOVED caitvi in s1, which is why i’m so disappointed by how they were written in s2. while i understood why people were uncomfortable with caitvi due to caitlyn’s position as an enforcer and vi being a victim of police brutality, it didn’t bother me when i first watched s1 because caitlyn fit into the “good cop” trope and i believed that the series would end with her reforming the police force in piltover. my expectations ended up being subverted when i watched act 1 of s2 after seeing the dark turn her character had. i actually liked seeing caitlyn’s descent into darkness in act 1 because it demonstrated that even “good” people in corrupt systems can still abuse their power. i thought that she would eventually be redeemed since caitvi is the endgame pairing and that is the only way i could see the couple working. after watching act 2, i became less confident that caitlyn would get a proper redemption arc since we only see the aftermath of her actions and she gets offscreen development. again, it makes sense that she would grow less skeptical of the crackdown from noxus after 3-6 months, but it would be more impactful we see what led her there when in ep 3 she used the grey against civilians, threatened heenot, and nearly shot a child. i need to emphasize that the grey WAS used against civilians since the mv montage shows regular civilians running away from it and vi says it was used to “clear the streets”. even if the grey was only used against criminals, it is still a war crime because the use of chemical weapons is prohibited under the geneva conventions. the last time vi and caitlyn were together, caitlyn hit vi with her rifle on a place that vi was already deeply wounded from. the fact that their reunion is caitlyn hitting vi multiple times is a good example of how vi’s trauma is rarely explored by the writers, especially since she is so nonchalant about it. during her time in stillwater, vi was regularly beaten by enforcers, she should’ve been a lot more hostile towards caitlyn when they meet again. vi was one of the main characters who confronted piltover about their oppression of zaunites in s1, but in s2 when caitlyn becomes everything vi hates about piltover, it doesn't harm vi's perception of caitlyn at all. another thing i hated was vi having sex with caitlyn in a jail cell knowing that jinx is going to commit suicide. not only is it ooc for vi since she is shown to be very loyal to her family and is a victim of police brutality, but sexual assault by cops is very prevalent in prisons so it's tone deaf to viewers who experienced police violence. i know that the scene is supposed to be vi “reclaiming her trauma”, but is it really reclamation when her trauma is rarely explored? caitlyn is NEVER confronted by anyone for gassing civilians, falsely imprisoning zaunites, torturing zaunites, and raiding their homes; the fact that she never comes to terms with harming zaunites makes it feel like vi is settling. i understand that lesbian representation is important, but that doesn’t mean that we have to excuse bad writing, especially when said pairing is wrapped up in bad political commentary. pinkwashing and homonationalism are real problems and the way caitvi shippers become apologists of fascism and police brutality is reminiscent of how oppressive power structures justify xenophobia, racism, and aporophobia in the name of “protecting” queer people.

just some teens being happy....

no cuz theyre so underrated 

Conner and M'gann scenes I love cause I miss them so much

M'gann's crush on Conner was SO obvious!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Honestly, one of the WILDEST first kiss scenes in cartoons back then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wally, I love you and all your goofiness, but how were you the last person on the team to find out M'gann was dating Conner? I get that he was crushing on her, but they were too obvious!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This scene is another one of their WILDEST! At least she never did it again when told it was wrong. My girl M'gann almost ended a whole marriage cause a martian's idea of roleplay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This scene in the season 1 finale was cute, but we now know there were gonna be problems for their relationship as time went.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This proposal was too sweet! Wish we got to see how they got back together ANIMATED tho...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This scene... was too much and I LOVED it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This kiss was great, but the entire scene and what lead up to this says a lot. While Conner did forgive M'gann for the attempted mind wiping, he didn't forget about it. The fact they were actually able to make up again didn't surprise considering all that happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Them dancing in the air and remembering the good times they had was do precious!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their Martian Wedding was absolutely wholesome and precious!!

I'm gonna miss their cuteness so much!

I forgot to post this here [tangled AU ⏳️💣]
