the fact that this matches their faces exactly

a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:

-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings

-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)

-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)

-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)

-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same

-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well

-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped

-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt

-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians

-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be

-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia

-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that

-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told

-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions

-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect

-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think

greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!

fellow mr. beast haters and skeptics...they all doubted us but we knew.

we've done it again folks

i sorta agree with this? but there are some things i feel you may have overlooked in your analysis of the pacing.

season one was a slow trainwreck, we knew the outcome from episode one and everything was building up to the inevitable. for me it felt like being in the passenger seat of a car stuck on a train track, you can hear the sound of the gate closing, see the lights flashing, feel the ground shake as the train approaches with no means of getting out. season one was controlled chaos.

season two, had the impossible task of living up to the impeccably high expectations of its fans because of the masterful tragedy they were able to write. this is the aftermath of the train collision, you’re alive but you don’t understand how — everything is a blur, piecing through how everything led up to that point is confusing.

i personally feel that the uneasy action-packed fast pace benefits the story and works thematically for what it wishes to achieve. i write a lot, and as i writer i found some of the decisions arcane’s writing team took to be things i would’ve done had i have been in their shows.

there were times it was too hard to predict anything (especially early on) because of the direction they were going with the story. what they’ve managed to achieve is no easy feat, and writing endings is never easy.

i doubt if there was another season it would lessen the blow, it’s bittersweet that it had to end in just two seasons but i believe they’ve done an excellent job even if the pacing feels a little iffy on its own. as a collective piece, i think it compliments the first season.

Arcane Season 2 ‘s pacing is atrocious and nothing is ever properly followed up. Jinx being the face of Zaun’s revolution? Nothing comes out of it. Ekko trying to find a way to save his community from the Hextech infection and learn more about his efforts of saving Zaun? Dropped and he is absent from Act 2 until reappearing in Act 3. An exploration of Vi’s trauma? Unexplored to focus on her relationship with Caitlyn and Jinx. Caitlyn realizing the error of her ways? Skipped over so she can get with Vi. Viktor’s journey to becoming the Machine Herald out of his own choice? Sped over with Singed doing it for him. Sevika leading Zaun? Skipped over until the end where she is now a council member representing Zaun. Mel got a proper solo arc but her screentime was limited.
