These stories loaded side by side. Funny (or depressing?) juxtaposition.

What made Arcane good ultimately was that so many characters in the conflict made good decisions and tried to do smart things.

A lot of lazy writing relies on people making irrational decisions or having lots of miscommunications. This show highlighted the difficulty of the context rather than individual dumb decisions or miscommunication or one-note characters: it was about the economic and ethical backdrop of the situation, and how characters responded to it.

The visuals, music, voice acting, and all of that was great, but it was the writing that tied it together. Some of the most interesting heroes and villains.

And it's shockingly a video game adaption, which is why I didn't bother to see it until three years after it came out, now that season 2 is about to come out.

When it comes to all fiction you consume (books, shows, movies), do you tend to remember the villain or the hero more, many years later?

Here are some variables to consider:

-Characters and concepts that stuck with you personally, for years.

-Memorable quotes or images.

-Iconic characters. Archetypes. Things you want to replicate.

-Roles that were so fucking well-acted that it can't be topped, and thus brought out the full complexity of the character.

Clarifications prior to answering:

-Villains include very bad folks that turn good at the end (e.g. Darth Vader). Partial goodness is often part of good villain design.

-Heroes include clear anti-heroes from the first act of the story (e.g. Han Solo). Partial badness is often part of good hero design.

- design

- tuning

- repairing

- etc.

Anybody watch the Netflix show Arcane?

I ignored it for years since video game adoptions into other media are rarely good.

But so far this is surprisingly solid.

You wait until your shift is over?
