Reply to comment by BlueTeamRuless in Unpopular opinion: Arcane is the greatest video game-based tv show of all time by Sorry_Village13

everything to do with Jace and the council, especially that weird old little hamster guy, what a fucking cringe ass character. i didn’t dislike his relationship with Mel, i actually thought that part was pretty solid (mostly because Mel is a good character, not Jace)

he felt like an ultra generic “city leader” archetype of a character complete with the tale as old as time of “young man discovers magic that the council has outlawed for generations due to its power”.

Oh, well I liked hamster man. I thought he was an interesting foil to Jace with different perspectives on magic and it’s place in society and a good mentor figure for him to eventually outgrow as their ideas differ.

Id say yeah his character bio is pretty boilerplate, but he’s not a hero who wins at everything and is always right and “destined to save the world” or some generic crap. He’s lost things, and caused irreparable harm and loss for others because he couldn’t see the whole picture of his inventions.

Thanks for engaging. Interesting to see others viewpoints
