How'd Act III leave you?
As an aside, one thing I will say unprompted is, despite his role within the story, I liked how they portrayed/characterised Silco.
I left kind of disappointed with the series as a whole. Act 3 is easily the weakest batch of episodes and doesn't live up to the promise of the first act and I blame it entirely on the script. There are a bunch of things that annoy me and i don't feel like getting to fine detail as to why so I will just list them.
-the reliance of Vi being kidnapped when the script needs a reason to move Vi to another location. It happens 3 fucking times, once is fine, two a coincidence, thrice it becomes bad screen writing.
-Vi gets sucker punched and does stupid stuff to the point where she looks like an idiot.
-Marcus just getting blown up feels like a wasted opportunity.
-Caitlyn surviving with minor wounds despite being in an explosion that pretty much killed everyone else.
-the weird music video when Ekko and Jinx fight just feels like it came out of no where and was rather corny.
-Vi leaving Ekko and Jinx on the bridge instead of staying feels weird and out of character.
-Jayce's arc feels incredibly rushed in this act.
-Jayce being able to go toe to toe with the chem suit guys despite being a scientist and having no combat training.
-The chem barons where pointless to the plot and could have been cut to focus on our characters better.
-I don't know why the cast someone who could barely speak English as Finn. It feels like they cast some Korean actor as a stunt cast, he is just terrible.
-I didn't end up finding jinx compelling at all even though this entire season hinges on her. Everyone says she is tragic but she is ultimately a rather cowardly character that would rather live in a world of delusion than take responsibility for anything.
-Heimerdinger's parts didn't really contribute much, but i guess it is to set up Ekko's chrono shift device. Ekko's VA was kind of bad.
Things I liked.
-Anything with the Madeara's was great, I like Mel's mom.
-Mel actually falling in love with Jayce and the city. I was expecting her to be a Noxian spy so her wanting to protect Piltover and Zaun from her homeland was neat.
-The unintentional comedic framing, when Sky is going to see Viktor and she says "everything you do inspires me", cut to Viktor naked in a dark room screaming in pain while holding the core. It made me laugh out loud.
-Silco was still amazing.
-Riot not Queer baiting with Caitlyn and Vi.
-Singed being a creepy doctor
-Vi and Ekko's reunion.
-Ekko's Firelight gang being made up of kids whose lives were ruined by Silco's actions.
-Jayce telling off the entire council.
