What did everyone think of Arcane S2's use of music? If you disliked the season, did the way they used music contribute at all to that?

What did everyone think of the Severance finale? Specifically...
.
.
.
.
.
.
(SPOILERS for Severance s2, Arcane s1, The Last of Us s1)
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
All 3 of these finales end with impossible decisions, but with Arcane and The Last of Us, I felt like in making the decision, the character was doing MORE than just choosing one of the options. The whole build up felt like the character was waffling back and forth between one side and the other, but then in the end, it did not feel like just landing on one side of the waffle, but like reaching the end of a journey and transforming entirely and achieving something significant.

With Mark's decision to choose Helly, I didn't immediately get that sense of reaching a significant end and transforming. It DID feel like just making another stop on the Helly side of the waffle, but I feel like I might be missing some nuance. I understand that he's finally making a concrete decision to value Innie life as primary, but we already saw him leaning that way before. If this had been the FIRST TIME he thought of valuing Innie life, that would have felt like the transformative end like i was hoping for, but as is it still felt waffly. (And granted, I know this isnt meant to be THE end of his arc in the same way as was intended for s1 jinx and s1 joel.)

What did you think? Anyone have a deeper way of seeing his decision that feels more weighty than waffly?

FINALLY finished this monster of a Viktor video!! Hard to get the complete picture, but I think these tools for understanding him gave me enough to leave me satisfied with his story. Let me know your thoughts!

EKKO VID IS LIVE!!

Timebomb episode was MY FAVORITE in the whole season. There is SO MUCH to dissect!! The episode's tone is fascinating! The counter intuitive way it develops Ekko's character in a way that allows him to talk Jinx out of ending it all is SO nuanced! And of course the idea of the PRESENT that it explores is truly profound. Hope you all enjoy!

Next video will be about the question of whether or not Jinx truly died at the end, and how that question ties into her arc. If you have any thoughts, let me know!
