Arcane’s second season is a revolutionary powderkeg

The final season of Netflix’s Arcane is a gorgeous and devastating reflection on the price of revolution.

Though Jinx’s attack was rooted in years of personal psychological torment and her growing up as part of Zaun’s abused, disenfranchised underclass, it was a moment that made her sister Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) see truly her as a terroristic monster. But while the new season takes some time to make you appreciate the magnitude of Piltover’s loss, it pushes this act of Arcane ’s story into motion by exploring how oppressive societies create the monsters they ultimately come to hate and fear. Arcane ’s second season uses the rising tension and Jayce’s fears about what he has helped create to delve deeper into the magical mysteries of Hextech with a subplot that zooms far out into new realms of the League of Legends universe.
