Arcane season 2 Act 2 proves to be full of gripping drama and emotion. The newest episode released on November 16, 2024, has become a topic of discussion. The fans had much to talk about, even specifically about the love triangle - Maddie, Vi, and Jinx.

The episode is a rollercoaster of emotional ups and downs in high stakes with moments of hope. Fans have reacted positively to news of Arcane season 2 Act 3 awaiting the state of the story. The atmosphere is tense as fans discuss Maddie's intentions and the impact on the love triangle.

The main quote sums up the power imbalance in their minds and the emotional stakes at play. Nothing seems to be confirmed by the cast and showrunners that has fueled suspense and speculation among fans.

"I'm a big caitvi fan, but I don't hate Maddie. She was actually trying to talk sense into Cait... and lets be real, now that Vi's back in the picture, the poor girl doesn't stand a chance. If anything, I feel bad for her... I too am a big Cait simp who would never stand a chance lol. "

Many fans are hopeful and excited about the direction of Arcane.

"considering Ambessa was warning Caitlyn not to get too close to Maddie, probably not considering if Maddie was a spy for her that's exactly what Ambessa would've wanted. Now a black rose spy? maybe.", a netizen commented.

"I think theres more of a chance she's a part of whatever the Black Rose shit that Ambessa's afraid of, when she pointed out "professional entanglements" she never said the same about Vi - she's suspicious of Maddie somehow I think, and usually Ambessa's right about her gut instinct.", another user commented.

"im really hoping that she is like secretly an ambessa spy or something so that i dont feel as bad when she is inevitably dumped by cait", stated another user.

However, some fans are not as pleased with how things are developing.

"Hate her rn. But acknowledge it’s for completely irrational reasons and she’s actually a good bean. For for right now, f**k Maddie >:(", commneted a user.

"f**k Maddie >:( Unfortunately it seems Cait is doing a lot of that", a user replied to one of the comments.

"If we're for real looking for what's best for Cait, at least Maddie isn't a toxic alcoholic with anger issues. But yeah, f**k Maddie.", said another netizen.

While there is a fair share of happy and vile comments from Arcane fans, there are others that are more measured, noting the complexity of the situation.

"I don’t care about her romance with Cait, but both her and Loris give me vibes that they are spies, whether for good or bad. I’m interested to see where their characters go." stated a user.

"Am I crazy, or did Ambessa basically admit that was the case? She said that with Vi gone, there was vacuum in Cait that she could fill for her own purposes. I just assumed that meant she set Maddie up for the role." commneted another user.

"I don’t think you need any sympathy considering she is implied to be Ambessa’s plant." a user replied to one of the criticising comments.
