I would like to complain about Viktor's story in Arcane.
it's absolute horse shit that they decided to develop random fucking side characters like Mel's mom, of all people, and Sevika, who ultimately does nothing that advances the plot like at all, rather than develop the main cast.
Like Viktor is a very sympathetic character that I wanted to see more of.
I wanted to see him have a genuine relationship with Jayce that becomes strained due to his illness and his increasing desperation to cure himself.
They had one scene where Jayce says damn, Viktor's dying... anyway, time to go to the opera.
It's amazing how little payoff that relationship ultimately has.
They had a great moment where Jayce says some prejudiced shit and Viktor is like what the fuck, man?
And then they don't address that shit at all until the finale??
Like that could've been really interesting.
Why on fucking earth did they decide to have Vi be the one to make Jayce see the Zaunites as people, when VIKTOR WAS RIGHT FUCKING THERE?
Viktor's whole descent into desperate survival mode needed more focus.
It's not going to hit that hard when they inevitably draw away from each other.
You had an entire season to show them being affectionate or working together on things but also having a genuine bond that transcended work.
instead we just see them fucking around in the lab, doing science things but never having character moments together.
horse shit.
Viktor is a really good fucking character. Why did you squander him?
His decision to use shimmer should've either happened quicker, thus letting us see the fallout, or had more build up as we see Viktor hiding things from Jayce.
the way it was done, he feels like a fucking side character.

why did they have Vi showing Jayce that the Zaunites are people, WHEN VIKTOR IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE?
Why were they fucking allergic to Viktor and Jayce having a genuine relationship and character moments?
Viktor's plot is so disconnected from Jayce's, and it shouldn't be, like what the hell?
Maybe less of Jayce doing boring ass political shit, and more of Jayce and Viktor's genuine connection dissolving as they realize how different they are, how Viktor is the victim of poisoned air from Zaun, while Jayce is like omg don't use Shimmer- like Jayce what would you fucking know about desperately trying to survive?
It had so much potential.
they wasted it. it's so dumb.
let me write season 2, pls. I'll fix it.
