Season 2 was terrible. S1 was alright and the emotional core was good enough that I could look pass glorifying lumpen behavior and passing it off as "revolutionary" because capitalist media will never portray a revolutionary without making them do dumb shit like killing a baby on screen so w/e.

But S2 went full retard and became marvelslop. Multiverse, time travel, world ending threat that everyone must unite against, holy shit it was just so bad in every way. The stakes became ridiculous, every character became a bastardized caricature of themselves, people would do really stupid things just to drive the plot forward where the writer wanted it to go (whereas in S1 it felt like the other way around where the plot was happening because of natural and realistic reactions that the cast all had bouncing off each other).

There was a really good way someone else described it: basically Arcane S2 is a show that everyone thinks they will get when they hear the words "animated show based on league of legends", and Arcane S1 is a show that people think they will get when they hear the words "live action historical drama".
