jinx getting drip checked by an enforcer was not on my arcane season 2 bingo card
[What happened to you?]
Need more jayce and vi
And just for a moment they both recognized their sister
even a worm will turn.

Here’s a quick review of the amazing opening of Arcane season 2:
Vi seems to be struggling with her identity / Loss of identity
Vi is wearing the tank top that I believe is the one she wears under her enforcer uniform. That’s the outfit she’s wearing throughout the opening.
Jinx, who was hiding behind, rises and steps into the light—maybe a way of showing that she’s grown symbolically, that she’s now 'bigger.'
Ekko with his shadow resembling a clock winding back time.
Caitlyn is shown in her turtleneck (also what she wears under her enforcer outfit ? ), With a curtain to suggest a stage, she takes a deep breath before stepping into the light with a fake smile. Honestly, if I analyze it, we can say without much risk that she's in inner conflict, that she has to step into the spotlight and is showing a different face from how she really feels.
There’s so much to say about the other scenes, but others will handle that perfectly; I have a special focus on CaitVi (😂). Here they are again in the same outfits—the turtleneck and tank top. It’s an interesting way to present them, and there’s a lot that could be said, which I won’t go into, but I wanted to point it out. Cait and Vi are more vulnerable in these outfits; it’s very intimate, as are all the shots with them in this opening. We’re really in deeply intimate territory.
The looks are very intense, filled with hatred or something else? (my poor babies).
At first, I thought they were kissing, but now I think they’re fighting. They could be kissing or strangling each other in that shot; it’s hard to tell. In both cases, it’s very interesting because this little backlit scene with its colors is very intense. And, as I read elsewhere, very lesbian flag.
And Caitlyn is still struggling, with her shadow looking like the Evil Queen, I think (lol 😆). And the effect on her hands gives the impression that she has blood on them.
And I really like this shot because that's my Caitlyn; she has the look of someone who’s realizing, who understands. And maybe she’s coming back to her senses? So, there you have it—just my initial thoughts. I was so awestruck by this new opening that I just had to watch it again and again.
‘subtle foreshadowing’
Basically how that scene went right guys?
“it’s her blood in your veins”
“then why are you the one acting like her?!”
he's going through his jesus era.
arcane s2 spoilers// thoughts from my roommate @/xavierillustrates
Arcane season 2 part 1 out of context
caitlyn jumping to police brutality right after promising vi she wouldn't change is fucking hilarious (im ripping my hair out) and then wearing that evil ass cloak im dead...her villain arc is definitely villaining.
Okay so this has probably already been discussed but we all know the magician is viktor (third arm blah blah blah) but I just now recognized the firelight symbol? An hourglass/infinity symbol, but it's broken, most likely to symbolize their time has run out and it's viktors fault.
His blood turning into a poison that's slowly killing the firelight base tree is INSANE foreshadowing, he's definitely going to be involved with more of their destruction, maybe his cultists will want the firelight tree for themselves
It looks like he's wearing a crown (he rises to an even higher position of power than cult leader maybe?) And the hands are red, so I definitely don't think his ascent is going to be without violence
I NEED SOMEONE TO SCREAM ABOUT THIS WITH UGGGGHHHH
um don't know how to feel about thissss... on one hand im glad she's not fridged but I'm kinda worried that's not actually skye but would also be glad if it's not?? Idk the idea of being permanently bound to my murderer sounds like a nightmare even if I liked the guy. Maybe he's hallucinating? Which :(
The sweat is NOT a good sign. There's thousands of sick and he's sweating from healing one person, he's probably going to need a power source and possibly more sacrifices...just saying.
