Do you guys feel that Season 2 pacing is too fast? There are hints and stories that need to be told more, but feel a bit rushed. I know "Show dont tell" thing, but I just feel some scenes were made and skipped.
For example, in episode 1, the new police gang appear out of nowhere, and we are suppose to root for them somehow, just for in arc 2, they dont really do anything.
In episode 2, a baron war suppose to happen, and we only see that Smeech supposedly died to Sevika. But what about the other 2 barons left. When the barons succumbs to Silco in season 1, multiple scenes were made, betrayals happened. But in arc 1, at least give a scene where they united, or a scene where Sevika rised as a new baroness. We just assume Sevika was there rally everyone in arc 2?
Speaking of Sevika, what happen after her arm get cut. We focus on the fact Isha was captured, and the whole Warwick incident, but shouldnt we have a scene where Sevika knows Vander alive. Although Sevika betrayed Vander, she respects him.
What about Salo. It seems Salo suppose to have a bigger role, now that the Council has died. He was shown to be manipulated by Ambessa. If that just suppose to be it, then fine. But arc 2 shows him need empathy from the Vastaya girl, who then tell him about the rumours of Viktor. Shouldnt there be more scenes of him? For us to actually care? For us to be shocked of his death in episode 5?
What about Firelight? Their leader just presumably die after a Piltover ex-council member leads him to the upside. We should have seen the witness. That dark-skin guys are shown in some scenes, but thats it? The firelight were struggling with the new waves of orphanage kids due to the baron war, and we never see the outcome of it.
I think there should have been 2 different seasons. Season 2 should have been 9 episodes, with the story just from episode 1 to 5. And let there more time and space to explore the complex characters of Arcane. I feel the story is a bit too rush.
