i really hope in act ii (and maybe even in act iii) in season 2 arcane, caitlyn becomes a deconstruction of the "good cop" archetype. there seems to be hints of this in act i with her poisoning the air of the undercity and highkey becoming a fascist, so there is a possibility that the writers might go in that trajectory with her character. it would be really refreshing if caitlyn is a deconstruction because throughout many tv shows, movies, etc., where there are critiques of policing, the solution is to hire more minorities as cops or good-hearted individuals when the problem with policing isn't acts by individuals but the system as a whole. but maybe i'm asking too much for a video game adaptation.
#i think it could happen#especially since they tried the 'traditional' route already with Vi getting on the squad#only for it to backfire#the best ending for Arcane will be the political separation of the two cities#such that Piltover can't easily exploit Zaun for materials and actually has to pay them if they want anything#and also has zero jurisdiction in the Undercity#pipe dream because that isn't how the infrastructure or money works but anyways#yes OP you are correct I hope it happens
