CCR, was dissapointed by LOVM S3. Siginificant step down from S1 and S2. Main problem was that they didn't go with a fresh story. The Chroma Conclave were fine as villains for S2, but they overstayed their welcome for S3. And Scalan's relationship with his daughter Kayla was covered in S2. There was no need to go over in S3, but they did and it was a waste of time. Also Percy and Vex's romance didn't really work for me, at all.

S1 was a stone cold 10 out of 10, and S2 was a 9 out of 10 for me. S3 I'd give a mere 5 out of 10. Honestly I think should have ended the show there. I have a bad feeling about S4.

CCR=

On episode 2 of the new season of Arcane. Don't like all these musical numbers they're jamming in. I know Riot Games and Imagine Dragons have some sort of relationship from the past, but do we really need these glorified music videos for other radio rock schlep?

S1 seemed a bit more of that but haven't finished S2.

I hear ya…..and it’s tough to maintain that level of excellence, but come on, “Chateau Shorthalt” was up there!

I’d probably rate it the lowest season, but in no way was I disappointed.

5/10 is underrating it. Its definitely better than average.

Creedence was also the first thing I thought when I saw CCR.

To be fair on LOVM, they were trying to cram about 180 hours of original content into the animated series. It just wasn't realistic to do it in one season. But I do get the feelings, don't really disagree about the feeling of being tired of it.

The storyline that will be represented in season 4 was actually pretty quick in the original content, about 60 hours (using average lengths). But it built upon a number of small little things that had come up here and there through previous storylines. So I'd hope that if they choose to get it all into a single season, they could. (It's worth specifying too that the upcoming storyline was the final one from the original show.)

Just finished the Substance. The last half of the movie is one hell of a ride. I need to digest this.
