This new season is actually still pretty good.
The animation is still great. There is some interesting character development for the main characters.
The soundtrack is mixed. I am not a big fan of some of the rap songs used.
Minor spoilers but it is so damn funny that the one lesbian couple has a domestic violence incident.
Overall I think it is worth a watch if you liked the first season.
I haven't seen much of any woke bullshit or any leftist preaching so far.
Finished the first season now and I pretty much agree with you on every point. The first 3 episodes were truly great but the other 6 felt rushed. Would have benefited greatly from a longer runtime. Silco was definitely my favorite character. A villain that isn't really a villain but also not an anti-hero but a believable, complex and compelling character with understandable motivations.
Overall the character development wasn't as in depth as I would've liked it to be, voice acting was lacking sometimes and quite a few female characters were basically just men with tits (not talking about the established characters/champions from the game).
But truly great visuals and animations, good soundtrack even if I'm not too much into the chosen genre, solid story that wasn't black and white, no or barely noticeable agenda preaching and no beautiful characters intentionally made ugly. Even the men with tits were actually believable characters. And truly violent (not gory) fight scenes.
Good show, very good compared to the average slop we get these days but falls short of being great. So a bit overrated but not by too much. Gets my recommendation.
Hopefully S2 at least maintains that quality. I think I'll wait until all episodes are out before I binge watch it.
I'm glad I could convince you! I'm holding my breath for S2 to stand up to S1, the show could completely ruin its reputation is it bungles the follow-up. I expect they understand how much the show was liked, and they know how popular LoL is and I'm confident that Riot Games has a strong investment in it as well.
The real question is, Jinx; could you fix her, or is she perfect the way she is? :^)
Depends. In 2D or 3D? :^)
