Good effort to wrap up what should have been 2 seasons worth of content Arcs not linked causing things to feel cohesive Cait is so dissatisfying How should the Vander/Vi/Jinx fight have played out? Too much story that the audience knows, but not the characters Naruto tangent Don't play League of Legends, not even once But why time travel? And Multiverses Why did we have to stop the fights to have the Jayce/Viktor fight Why was this the big climactic fight? Jayce and Viktor were NOT the emotional climax the show was set up for Something Something crappy Snyder cut We talk ourselves out of how satisfying the ending was. Too much spectacle Ambessa, Viktor, Vi feel resolved; Mel, Jayce and Jinx not as much Animation quality dropped or stylization? Honestly thought the stream froze with some of the choices.... Great album. but more songs than Carol and Tuesday But why sex scene? Scenes should always be changing, if no dramatic change, the scene isn't needed If this scene was continued, we should have been seeing the scars Vi built up and contrasting to Cait Drew has no expectations There is no fall damage in league of legends Vi: Can't give up on her family Was Vi right about Powder actually there? Jinx: Was she making the right decision to end the cycle? Nice to see what could have been with Powder Would have been nice to see more of the impact from losing Isha Conversation with Silco was fantastic Nice to see the organized Chaos Jinx brought to the fight She did cut her hair Cait: She was ther I guess Best conversation/characterization was with Jinx Seems like there might have been some consequence with her crimes, but no I guess she lost an eye, but that just makes her cool I guess? There is no reason to believe Cait has changed SHOW DON'T TELL!! Dev gives a TED talk on Cait's (lack of) character She was important for Vi Jayce: The leg break made Dev thing Jayce was the sorcerer Never felt like the main story Mel: The Black Rose feels incomplete The story feels like a setup for a different season Ekko: Payoff not great, cause we didn't see it Nice to see him saving Jinx, but not developed Should that have been the real Hemdinger? Ekko's time powers didn't really have any impact (outside of saving Jinx) Viktor: Interference in the fights was a disappointment Glad he was the bad guy, but also the sorcerer/good guy? If Viktor never went back in time to save Jayce, he would have solved his own problem.. The mind tap seemed forced, previously everything was tied to Shimmer Ambessa should have been using Viktor, not the other way around But why not care about Skye? She was such a great character ... Number FIIIVVE; a long winded analogy
