Arcane confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".
“Straight to the compost bin.”

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Arcane knows its audience.

The cinematography in Arcane is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Arcane and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Arcane?
Rewatched Arcane last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Arcane actually is?
Director clearly thought Arcane was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Arcane?
Honestly, Arcane would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
