Arcane's core romance was always planned to be between Caitlyn and Vi, two characters from opposing sides of the city. The show's creators idealized their love as the ultimate romance, akin to Han and Leia from Star Wars.
After all, both shows used their massive production budgets to dig deep into political intrigue, character development, betrayals and plot twists, not to mention titillating - and often raunchy - romance.
Even though Arcane dropped multiple episodes in a sitting suitable for marathon-watching, the way it was crafted was meant more for a watercooler discussion, akin to Game of Thrones, Westworld, or Lost from yesteryear.
To those that thought the show felt rushed, the creators have implored fans to consider rewinding and re-watching, as the intricate storytelling deserves a thoughtful examination.
