My point is Andor and Arcane are nowhere near the same with how you're comparing them.

Your point was not about what general audiences viewed it as. Your two points were, "from a franchise that's either (a) struggling to put out quality consistently or (b) has very low expectations when it comes to long-form storytelling." Those are two COMPLETELY different things. They're not similar in the slightest.

If one struggles to be consistent with the quality of its work but puts out a lot of it, and the other could possibly falter with long term storytelling cuz it's never been given the chance to do it before, how exactly are those two things in any way the same or even similar?

Edit: It would be massive revisionist history if I were talking about general audiences, except for I never was. I said anyone who had followed Riot's work. So not people who just play LoL, but people who actually watched their animated content before Arcane. Their first target audience with the show. Those people should have had a pretty damn good idea with how Arcane was going to turn out. Especially by the time the first trailer for it dropped. Again, as someone who's never played LoL and usually waits for reviews to come in before watching new shows, Arcane's trailer convinced me to get on and watch it the exact moment it came out. Same with Andor in that regard. So maybe they're similar because they both had absolutely banger trailers. But that's about it.
